And no , I have no idea where this terrifying New Year's Baby clipart came from, other than my Google image search. Isn't it terrifying? It looks like Bullock from Batman: The Animated Series wearing a diaper. Jesus, I think I'll start my drinking now. Happy New Year, everybody.
More links from around the web!
-
I think we have a winner here! The world would be so much better if we had more missionaries like this.
-
I resolve to stop lusting over female cartoon/animated characters. Wait, what..? Avatar is still out? Neytiri is...a what? GOD DAMN IT!!!
-
Maybe you should just move out and get your own place, dear. There's nothing like sneaking a woman in or out of your parents' house.
-
Honestly, I wouldn't have wanted an autograph once we got into the hotel room. I would have "touched" his body for hours or until I got arrested.
-
To finally move out of my parent's basement & up into their attic!
-
This one needs to win!
-
I resolve to finally corrupt my room mate to the way of video games. I'm going to start her off with Mario Party 2 and Pokemon Snap. Then Castel Crashers, before trying to edge her into Left 4 Dead.
-
Okay, now I KNOW there are some people that got in on the joke, but why the hell are you making me look ALL OVER THE PAGE to find the responses? Why didn't you bastards put them here? Do you know how lazy I am?
-
Hey... mind your own damn business.
-
To get a job at a nerdy tv-show/movie. I graduate in june and there aren't that many nerdy shows here in Belgium, so it's more of a wish then a resolution.
-
I've already accomplished part of my resolution... I've lost my dice virginity. Yes, I now own a set of gaming dice, complete with an extra D6 that I absolutely HAD to spend $1.50 on because it had good mojo. Now I plan to use my shiny new dice to secure myself a spectacular victory in my 3:16 game, the first RPG I have ever played. Hey, my PC is already captain! (Damn my evil nerd boyfriend and his evil nerd influence. Damn. Damn. Damn.)
-
I resolve to come out of the closet as the Star Wars nerd I have always been by doing the following: (a) I will buy a Boba Fett hoodie and wearing it to teach (I work at a local university, and walking into class with that hoodie zipped all the way up would be hilarious, if embarrasing.) (b) I will also purchase a princess Leah slave girl costume for my wife for... uh... home. She promised to wear it for me if I got it for her (I love that woman)! My only concern is that if I win, the prominence of my resolution on this site will spawn a FFF that will sh*t on my childhood memories and personal fantasies worse than the prequel trilogy.
-
My resolution is to stop buying display cases for my DCUC action figures. I have four now and I think this is the maximum before I start entering the "getting a divorce" zone. This will mean rotating figures in and out eventually, but at least maybe it will feel more like a museum exhibit than a collection of colorful, mass-produced toys.
-
You sure like to take your time, brah.
-
No fire was involved. The BBC wiped the episodes on purpose as they decided to make more room for other programming.
-
Wow..that looks badass. unfortunayely everything I draw ends up looking like Muppet Babies
-
This is all very confusing. heh Good luck or whatever.
-
Joes a friggin weirdo though...I wouldn't put it past him to talk about Horse fucking.
-
Perhaps I should clarify... I'm not going to propose to her, I'm just going to give her the ring I bought. It's sitting here, mocking me, and I'm tired of listening to its bullshit jokes about my parentage. She's already left, and she let fly a parting shot saying I never backed up any of my words with action. So I'll show her that this time, no matter what she said, the proof is in the pudding.
-
Rrrrrriiiight... *wink*
-
... I'm willing to bet you thought I was serious about the horse, too. We're just having some fun, man.
-
Yes he asked her her name, I was there, and dude I seriously doubt that's Joe.
-
No, you don't want to start with a horse. Their too high off the ground, unless you want to take a step ladder with you, but that could be a problem especially if she kicks you, and she could also run away and you have no idea how hard it is to catch a Thoroughbred with your pants around your ankles. When your starting out I would recommend you start out with a sheep or a goat, they're usually in small pens, not very fast, or hard to catch, and if you fuck a sheep off the edge of a cliff the sheep will push back, it's an all around pleasant experience or so I'm told...You know I was talking about someone else right...RIGHT?!
-
I resolve to reply to these contests before the time limit as measured in YOUR time zone :(
-
Your relationship is down the crapper and you are going to propose to her...dude please rethink this. Man I was in a similar spot a year ago when I was with this insane chick who treated me like crap and my friends like crap. I stuck through it cause I loved her. Turns out it was all a big waste. The worst thing you can do is give her a ring. Move on man plenty o fish in the sea.
-
I in fact did get her name and all that jazz. You can even ask my jerk-off friend Firespray who was there. I have yet to ask her out if that's what you are referring to...and if this is Chicago Joe...god damn you.
-
Oh no! My identity has been relieved, I have not felt the sting of defeat since I lost to Bruce Lee, although one of us is actually dead in real life which I may or may not have had anything to do with for no one beats Chuck No....I mean The Amazing Rando... But do try to wait for me the whole Killing Michael Bay Thing could take awhile especially if I want to enjoy myself like I did with my friend Bruce......Ha Ha Ha (Dramatic Reverb)!!!!
-
guh... this are win. SpookyPuddle
-
Yes, I hope I get a t-shirt so I can wear it when I make my Resolution come true. Ha Ha Ha Dramatic Reverb)!!!
-
on a similar note--i resolve to keep my pants on... and after that... to finally draw/write Dead Jenny. (however i've already lost my pants numerous times since the new year...and so Dead Jenny is my only hope).
-
Well, what would YOU do if he looked at you like that... SHE!!! I meant SHE!!! ... like that makes it any better. The lengths I go for a laugh.
-
I think I love you. That was beautiful, and it brought tears to my eyes. Personally, I wanted to make sure Michael Bay was poisoned, shot, stabbed, stoned, and finally drowned.
-
Good Fucking Luck.
-
To finish watching Nadia AKA the Secret of the Blue Water. I bought it when it first came out on Streamline videos and I was 13 in Guam. I equate it with pleasant childhood memories of island adventures. I got it through fansubs (Streamline only released 12 episodes at one episode per tape) at 22 and then I bought the complete set on DVD at 25. I LOVE the series, but I can't help but stop watching at episode 21. I know if I go past that, I won't stop watching until I finish the series at episode 39 and the less than stellar movie. It's one of those rare series that you like so much that you don't want it to end or see the end because you're afraid that when you see the end you'll either be tremendously disappointed or so satisfied that no other show can satisfy you as much. I need to say goodbye to Nadia and hello to...
-
That also works for creepy old men in the grocery store.
-
i've resolved to never again read Fan Fiction Friday. and just like a normal new year's resolution, that'll probably last for a good ten seconds or so. CURSE YOU TOPLESS ROBOT!!! CUUUUURSE YOOUUUUUUU!!! -sobs in the corner-
-
To get a new LCD monitor and get something more than 1440 x 900.
-
The Amazing Rando my ass... It's Chuck Norris, ladies and gentlemen! I don't my dude will want to mess with Chuck Norris.
-
To get myself to a convention this year. I've never been to a comic-con. Even if no one wants to go with me...I'll go by myself. I'm a woman of the world! If I want to fly across the country to sit in on panel discussions of sci-fi theology, than Damn It! I'll do it!!
-
I resolve to stop you from achieving those goals... no matter the cost. You will NOT succeed.
-
My resolution is to really commit to watching the rest of Battlestar Galactica (the old series not that new crap god damn it)
-
Oh please god, no... make a different resolution, I beg you... ... waitaminute... you ARE hot, right.
-
You didn't ask her a god damn thing, did you?
-
...Says the guy talking about raping a horse.
-
To read [i]A Dance with Dragons[/i], but someone has to finish writing it first...
-
I have at least a half-dozen videogames and a couple dozen DVDs I need to play or watch. I've been so busy that I haven't had time to just be a lazy fat nerd. I mean damn, I went from a 280 lbs nerd in March of 2008 who couldn't fit into one of those XL Topless Robot T-shirts to a guy in January 2010 who is now 175 lbs in which one of those XL Topless Robot T-Shirts is too big for me. I guess my nerd-priorities have changed, but I still need to get my hands on Mass Effect 2 this year. I just hope I can play it.
-
Shut the fuck up... NOW. You're starting to scare me... next thing you know we'll read the news reports on how they found her dead body... minus a ring finger... [/joke]
-
I resolve to FINALLY start hacking away at my backlog of PS2 classics... maybe even remove the shrink wrap... .... either that or finally give bestiality a spin... I swear that horse was giving me the look... ............ .... WHAT?!?!?
-
Okay, I always read these goddamned weekend contests, and I always love seeing what people come up with, but I never have the bloody conviction to try and enter one myself. But this time, I'm sure I can at least make an honorable mention. My new year's resolution, I am proclaiming for all the nerdy internet to see and mock, is to give this engagement ring to my seven-year sweetheart, even though the last month of my life has been a non-stop fuck-up of our entire relationship. Because you know what? Sometimes when you plot and scheme and prepare and you set a goal, everything falls to pieces. Your beautifully laid plans get ruined by bad timing and by badness and spookitude. And she'll probably just tell me to fuck off, and that she really is leaving, and that there isn't a blessed thing I can do about it. But you know what? Sometimes, even when EVERYTHING goes wrong, just like an olympic figure skater, you get up and you finish your godforsaken routine. You finish the race, even though you're dead last. I bought this piece of shit ring for her, and I'm not returning it. Because no matter what she believes, I will always love her, and I will ALWAYS wait for her. If it takes the rest of her life to really believe that, so be it. But come hell or high water, this ring is going on that woman's finger, dammit. You here me, world? YOU HEAR ME?!
-
He said he'd look at it LESS. You can't expect a guy to quit it cold turkey (yes, pun intended)
-
Rivka, you may be my hero. I will relive my childhood through television. That's right, that means watching Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, Beetleborgs, Darkwing Duck, and Batman: The Animated Series, preferably within a single weekend.
-
To track Nathan Fillion to a Whole Foods Market in Hollywood and, having smeared my t-shirt with oil and carefully mussed my hair, talk him into the parking lot where the flattened back tire of my '98 Pontiac Sunfire waits to be changed. Then, gratefully and despite his protests, I treat him to a Machiatto, which I spill down his shirtfront. Alas, I am but a clumsy woman! I must pay for the shirt. Paying for his shirt is the least I can do, and my money is in my motel room, and my motel is there, right there across the Starbucks parking lot. In the doorway of room 14B of the Howard Johnson, I pause, because in this evening light through the vertical blinds, do I perhaps recognize him from somewhere? Do we not have a mutual acquaintance? Ah no, I remember! And I tug my "Serenity Valley Browncoats" from my duffle, and hand him a Sharpie, and he signs while I track down my travelers checks. Nathan Fillion leaves. I cherish.
-
i hope you win! :)
-
Is to watch every anime that Celeste tells me to watch, and to finally ask out the girl of my dreams.
-
My nerdy resolution is to watch every anime series that my friend Celeste tells me to watch. And to finally ask out the girl of my dreams.
-
I realize by saying this I will probably be ostracized but I have never saw Star Wars. And if I happen to win this contest I vow to watch every single one. If I don't win though I will not watch any one of the movies.
-
Thanks for the encouraging words man. My new semester starts up Tuesday. Hopefully I summon the courage to do it and not just go into another conversation about Rush and King Crimson. Thanks again.
-
I know...that's why I'm making this resolution. If I wasn't so yellow bellied I could have asked her out sooner.
-
The rest of the year? Finish up my zombie apocalypse bunker. But a job like that can never really be finished just improved upon.
-
Another person wronged by the evil of Micheal Bay, all the more reason he must be killed. Hopefully I'll win myself a Topless Robot t-shirt and I'll be sure to wear it when I kill him.
-
As an archaeology student/nerd, I resolve to recognize that the artifacts in movies are only models and not cry whenever they get smashed. Further to that, if I ever watch Transformers 2 again, I will weep because it's a horrible insult to sanity, courtesy and good plotting and not because the pyramids get smashed.
-
I resolve to finish every game in the Final Fantasy series, including Final Fantasy II and Chocobo's Dungeon on Wii.
-
To watch each and every episode of Heroes, no matter how bad it gets.
-
Im going to stop giving up on things, just because I have to wait for the new Goddamn season. Fifth Cylon was ruined for me in a nerd trivia night, Hero's was spoiled from Topless Robot, Lost... well, that shit is everywhere. This year, I'm finishing these fucking shows. and starting a new one. And watching it ahead of time. and spoiling it for others.
-
Was this inspired by Cat Shit One? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_Meow
-
Have you tried co-op or games where you can go team vs team?.
-
To reduce my fiance & me's Convention attendance of 20+ events last year due to getting married in 2010 but atleast get to 'Dragon Con' for the 1st time in our lives.
-
I resolve to buy all the D&D 4th edition books new dice and start a weekly gaming group. I would like to get laid more but the afore mention goal will hinder my progress in that area, sad part is I'm married, and onlý get it bout once every two or three months
-
I resolve to find a videogame my roommates can beat me at so they will start playing with me again....
-
You sure like to take your time, brah.
-
Sorry dear, some of the old episodes were destroyed (in a fire, I think) and that was back in the day when no one had vcr's to record them.
-
dude , DONT FORGET THE 3 official versions OF THE Return of the Joker g rated, blood version (uncut/ directors cut), and Finally the one that is near IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND the one where batman says to joker "ill break your neck" ) *dude this one is real because i had the bootleg [original uncut ] version where he actually says it*
-
dude if mike mignola can sell comic books and get a comic book deal , you can do it too Jagg
-
I agree! I resolved to do this once... and lost interest after discovering it was entirely impossible to watch the series from the very beginning all the way through. :(
-
To stop swearing like a sailor every time I play Bioshock because the Splicers scare the shit out of me and for some reason cursing them out makes it less scary.
-
Amazing.
-
Inasmuch as "the Doctor" isn't a name but a title, and a title which at least one of his companions has shared, I think folks can be cut a little slack for making up a surname for him. Especially when that surname is strongly hinted at by the title of the show. Otherwise the series title is just some sort of long-running pun. Which I would find much more irksome than hearing him called Doctor Who. Myself, I prefer to call him Andy. He just looks like an Andy. Every single time he regenerates, oddly enough. Then again, I think Number Six looks like an Andy as well, so make of that what you will.
-
To fulfill my girl-nerd dreams-- swing dance with a man dressed as a TF2 character.
-
finally*
-
To final finish reading my Doctor Who pop-up book. It takes so much effort...
-
To finally start my webcomic about a tribe of cartoon goats fighting Viking rams, sort of like a more high-fantasy version of Berserk or Vinland saga, but with HOOVES
-
My Nerd Year's resolution is to relearn Latin so I can re-read the Aeneid so I can rip the shit out of that god-awful motherfucker, Aeneas. Lord how I hate that bastard. My anti-Aeneas essay will include copious evidence and footnotes, and will be written in Latin. In summation: I will brush up on a dead language so I can tear a new asshole for a fictional character.
-
It's Veidt's responsible, he did it 35 minutes ago.
-
I resolve to not sob everytime I'm watching Trek or Doctor Who, etc. and some dies/regenerates. Even when it's characters I don't give a damn about. it just seems really pathetic..and like finish getting the like 222g of DW... hopefully next year my resolutions won't be so similar, check, same as many on here.
-
So... you pledge to stop beating off to dead horses?
-
Ahhh, a bearded man will be unhappy? Is that before or after I use my special forces training to incapacitate him. Don't worry I won't kill him, he'll walk funny for a few days but he'll be fine. But I can't make the same promise for you, I'm told the bow-legged walk goes away after a few weeks, a month tops...
-
oh jesus, I'm so jealous I'm waiting for that shit to finish downloading.
-
I resolve to be resolved in all my resolutions, starting with three monitors for ludicrous resolution gaming.
-
So what are you going to do the REST of the year? :)
-
get a job and a girlfriend
-
I resolve to learn to love episodes I-III. It may be an impossible task, but I'll be damned if I'm an old curmudgeon of a Star Wars fan that tells the children about how it was in "My Day".
-
im going a gap year this year, either to dominican republic, thailand or an african country probably namibia, my resolution is to take all my dvds of firefly, stargate and battlestar galatica and introduce a whole new country to geekdom
-
Sure, but only for practice. If you did actually hit on me in a bar, a bearded man would be unhappy with you.
-
I am about to get my credential to teach high school English. Whenever it is right and appropriate to do so, I will make connections to and utilize all of the wonderful nerdy material at my disposal. This includes using the idea of the Force to teach Transcendentalism, teaching short stories and novels with awesome sci fi & fantasy elements (Ender's Game, Vonnegut, and more Ray Bradbury than you can shake a stick at.) I will plan the nerdiest, most science fiction, fantasy and horror-laden units as possible, and go through crap like To Kill a Mockingbird as swiftly and painlessly as possible. The students will not even notice the theme of my lessons, because they will be too busy writing & complaining about all the writing they have to do.
-
Don't kid yourself, you're gonna click. ESPECIALLY FFF.
-
To finish Gears of War one and two on 'insane' mode so I can get the insane mode logo tattooed on me. (http://www.testedcheats.com/images/stories/xbox360/Gears_of_War_2/Gears_of_War_2_X360_Insane_Difficulty.jpg)
-
To finally finish all 6 Mario games that I own on the Wii, all are 80% finished atm
-
To successfully transfer my love of nerdy things into an adult life so I don't wind up embarrassing myself or my boyfriend when we move into our condo. Of course, this is made difficult by my huge manga collection, my prominently displayed Sonic the Hedgehog comics, and my obsessive love of CLAMP in 3d-land figures.
-
In 2010, I resolve to complete my erotic Na'vi/Smurf crossover epic. Y'know, before someone else beats me to it.
-
To remove Optimus Prime from the top of our tree and remove the rest of the decorations for once on time. (and I know you said 1 post, but also get Optimus Prime added to the dictionary)
