cool, you're a native american, what is your NA name.... 'Dancing Panda' ?! ;):p

 

it would be nice to hear some stories, can you post them in easy to handle bits.... :D

 

Did anyone ever see 'Dead man' with Johnny Depp, amazing movie, although Im not sure how historically accurate the scenes with the native american village etc is ...

 

and Sabre, when jebbers tells us some 'indian' stories, it is not an invitation for you to tell us how you played cricket against a Satchin Tendulkar lookalike in a bollywood cola commercial :p

what are you sitting on exactly Grooveh..... in other words, what the freak is up your arse.... I am from a minority culture myself, sheesh, my homeland doesnt even exist politically(namely the Turkish population of Cyprus....)

 

why the freak would I be mocking jebbers by saying 'Dancing Panda', I was just referring to his cute av of course.....

 

If my comments are offensive to Jebbers, Im sure he would either post it or let me know via a pm.... I really would prefer that, than to suffer your judgement of what *you* think is wrong by *him*....

 

as for what I said to Sabre, I was being quite terribly mocking, but me and sabre always exchange such remarks :p

 

*sigh* steroids must be kickin in huh grooves :p

How original. That was so funny, I almost thought it was 1989 again. :rolleyes:

 

Please note, that I do not have to WAIT for someone to report your post. If it I see you post something, and it seems offensive to me, then I will call you on it.

 

If you don't want me to get mad, then stop behaving like an ass. Keep in mind that once your warned, all moderators watch your posts very closely. Got a problem with the way I do my job, report my post, or pm an admin.

I would think most mods have better things to do with their time then monitor my evil posts.....

 

No, I really don't have a problem with the way you do your modding.... :) It is a rule of the universe that at least *one* of the mods has to be a hardass, just like every cool movie has a bad guy... sheesh, if everyone was nice, itd be darn boring..... :D

 

EDIT : 1989 was a golden year ! The year that Grunge was cool ! Now Grunge is for pot heads and wife beaters :(

Thanks for going off topic again. :rolleyes:

 

Sheesh Groovy, did you wake up on the wrong side of your bed this morning? I didn't take any insult towards Astro's comment(I'm 1/16th Native American, too), I knew it was based off Jebber's avatar.

Do you and Tyrion need some time alone? :p

 

If I made you scratch your head this morning, then my work here is finished.

 

I won't bring up that all of the friends and girlfreinds I know that died of drugs, all started off with pot, i'll save that for another discussion later.

 

And yes jebbers, please disreguard the last few posts, just a bit of bull**** to "pass the time".

Astro, Groovy, and Tyrion...i dont mind the jokes about my heritage...dancing panda....i like it.....i have heard just about every joke/comment about my native statis...it no longer bother me....and so on to story telling....

 

 

this one is entitled How Buzzard got his bald head.

 

(might need to explain some stuff first...The Creator is the equivalent to God and Sky Woman is the first woman to fall on turtles back and make earth..but thats another story)

 

 

After the Sky Woman had fallen and found soil, the Creator was walking around on the newly created earth. As he walked, he created new things like the trees, grass, and all the creatures. Upon hearing the beautiful calls from the birds and seeing their naked, gray bodies, The Creator thought to himself "With such beatiful calls, they need to have bright feathers to cover such unsightly bodies."

So the Creator called a meeting to where Great Turtles back used to be. He called upon all the greatest, highest fliers. Eagle, Hawk, Owl, Buzzard, and Falcon were all there. He told them all that he had created suits of feathers for each bird on earth. "Who ever wishes to take the quest, can only try on the suits once." said the Creator. So Eagle, Hawk, Owl, Buzzard, and Falcon all asked each other to see who wanted to go. After some debating they all decided that Buzzard would go. So buzzard left Great Turtle backs.

Buzzard flew for 5 days straight and finally arrived at the area the Creator had told him where the suits were. Buzzard picked up the first suit. The first suit of feathers would eventually belong Cardinal. Buzzard put it on and looked at his reflection in the waters near by. He decided that red was not his color, so he took it off and placed it in a different pile. The next suit would belong to Gold Finch. He didnt like bright yellow and black colors. So he took it off and placed on Cardinals. After Buzzard had tried on Blue Jays, Herons, Tree Swallows, Robins, Woodpeckers, and every other suit, he forgot to look to see if there anymore suits left. There was only one left. So Buzzard picked it up and pulled it on, but to his surprise it didnt fit! It only came to his neck. He couldnt take it off and put on another one because the Creator told him to try them on only once. So buzzard got angry that he didnt take a colorful one.

Buzzard picked the suits up in his talons and flew back to Great Turtles back. When he got there the Creator said to Buzzard, "I see you tried them all on. This was the last on in the pile. Thank- you for bringing them back to the other birds. By you doing so you will now be able to fly higher, farther, and longer than the other birds." So all the other birds put their suits on and absolutely loved the ones they chose. Gold Finch put his on and sang his little heart out. Woodpecker put his on and celebrated it by finding bugs for his family. So all the birds put on thier suits, that fit perfectly, and thanked Buzzard and the Creator for them. Buzzard was sour about his suit so he kept his distance from the other birds.

He was invited to eat with the other birds but he was to angry with his suit. And so to this day Buzzard flies and eats by himself and he still has his bald head. So when you see Buzzard flying about in the sky, you will now know how he got his bald head.

That's a very nice story :)

 

Reminds me of when I was little, and my parents sometimes read me some inuit legends :)

 

[edit] Oh, and it's no point caring about people joking with your heritage...

 

I'm of lappish heritage, kind of like native scandinavian, and I've always endured it, you learn to live with it :p
