Pen.
What kind of pencil? A normal, wooden pencil, or a mechanical pencil? I only use mechanical pencils, wooden pencils feel weird on my fingertips and make me cringe :P
Biro. Because lefties smudge ink pens.
Pencil, so I can erase my mistakes. It's a neater writing tool in my opinion. Though I do prefer mechanical pencils over anything else.

I didn't know that. Must be annoying, huh?
I chose pen because I started randomly picking u studio pens about three years ago. . . . Needless to say, I've enough GTTP pens to last a year. Or three. Only one DE pen, though. Plus I can never find my pencils. But I can always find a pen on my headboard, in my writing notebook, or in a pocket of my dance bag.
What is a Biro?
Uh...

A very nice looking pen, too.

I've gotten used to it, except for those really wet pens that have that felt-ish tip...
Erasable pen. They're AWESOME.

Yes, and the most useful tool to writers. Possibly a god.
I know what it is I just didn't know that was the name. It's actually what I meant when I put Pen.
Pencil so I can erase....and erase.......and erase................and erase................and finally finish this post! (without a pencil)
New poll.
Football as in n00by American football or actual football?
American football is better then soccer.

Don't be shy, preach brother!
I hate all sports, so I think it doesn't really matter which is better. What doesn't make sense to me is calling American football football. Like the game barely has anything to do with feet.
Sports hater? Why do you hate them, they're so good for almost everything. Teamwork, exercise, fun, in football and hockey your allowed to take your anger out on the other players. Its great. They even pay you to fight in hockey.
I hate sports because I find them uninteresting and repetitive. The fans put me off too, though I hated sports before that happened. I also hate them because people in the sporting industry are paid far more than they reasonably should be.

. . . . . You mind reader. And yeah, why not call it throwball? Or tackleball.

I don't get it. in football and hockey your allowed to take your anger out on the other players. Screaming works just fine, too. Its great. They even pay you to fight in hockey. Well what a stupid way to injure yourself.
Girl: Oh, what happened to your arm?! You poor thing.
Guy with broken arm: Oh, I got paid to tackle some guy in hockey. Cool, right?
Yeah. I can so see that happening.
does Ice Hockey count as Hockey? If so that is my choice because I am a roller skater. :P
Baseball. Not that I play sports, but it's the most fun sounding out of all of them. :P
I love American Football because it's what I've known. I like the strategy that's required (e.g. Trades, the Draft, free agency and the playbooks when watching) when I watch it, which is to say all the time. When I play, throwing the ball correctly or making the catch are extremely fun to me. I never really got into to soccer/football, although I have a huge amount of the respect for the players (they bounce that thing on their heads halfway across a huge feild). Never really got into basketball, but the few times I've played it's been fun. Volleyball intemidates me (:P). Never got into hockey. Baseball is fun to play, but can get boring to watch if you're not into it. But I love American Football.
Go Patriots!
@Corn
While diet and exercise (such as walking) are the best ways to lose weight, to build muscle like athletes need too, regular weight training and/or strenuous sports such as either of the footballs is needed.
As far as the fun in American Football, for me, being able to throw a football in a spiral and watching someone catch it (hopefully spectacularly), it's exciting. Catching is also fun. But it's not just mindlessly tossing it around, accuracy and speed, along with the right target, all make for an adrenaline rush.
As far as taking your anger out on players, that's kinda looked down upon in football. Not hockey (I'm unfamiliar beyond "It's ok to punch a dude") but your gonna get in trouble for "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" in American Football.

*cough*davidbeckham*cough*
I say that any sport where you can sit out for more than 30 minutes and/or chew tobacco is not a sport. Baseball, for instance.
@Corny:
First of all, walking is healthy. I like to walk several miles everyday. But walking can get boring. Sometimes people might want to do more than just walk. Like run... And kick... playing soccer. I love playing that sport. Sports are a great way to exercise.
And sports isn't limited to football. Soccer, swimming, mountain biking, basketball, ultimate frisbee, hockey, etc. There are a lot of sports. So if playing football isn't what you're into, maybe a different sport would satisfy that itch for exercise.
And screaming? That may work for some people, but I'm sure that a lot of people would prefer sports to screaming. Personally, I don't want to just scream my lungs out in front of a bunch of people, then carry on with a normal day as if nothing happened.
And it can be a stupid way to get hurt, but I can think of worse ways :P
Sports (including golf and tennis, not sure if they've been mentioned) aren't for everyone. But for those who like it, it is a good way to have fun at least.
I find that sports don't interest me. Sports that you can do without actually playing a sport (like swimming (or maybe just swimming)) do. Competition=feelings=people getting angry=people getting stupid=not fun. Though I do find tennis to be okay.
On watching, I just don't see the point of watching sport more than once? It's just the same thing over and over with little to no variation which bores me.
That may be true of, say, bowling. Or poker, if that's a sport. But I like watching because I can follow the team, see how they respond to different adversities from opponents. (Blowout games usually aren't that fun to watch unless you're the winning team. ;D) But if it's two, evenly matched opponents, it's exciting, to me. :)
Does anyone here play golf? I have a friend who plays it and many times I have no idea what they're talking about.
I play disc golf. It's similar to golf.
Heyy, Vilu! Nice of you to pop in.
Welcome back, even if it was only for afew days. So, do you know what a taco is in golf? (Not sure if that's how you spell it)
I have no idea.
New poll.
Clearly it must be the cougar. It's the biggest member of family felinae. That means it can maul you and purr at the same time. None of these other cats can do that so well.
Clearly a mix between the King of Beasts and a tiger is the best.
Neither lions nor tigers can purr at all. That automatically gives cougars a huge advantage over them.
Also, tigers are an endangered species, and lions are considered "vulnerable", whereas cougars are of "least concern". So clearly cougars, as a species, are more successful than either lions or tigers. I think that factor should certainly be accounted for when someone decides which cat to vote for.

There's a simple explanation for that. In North America poachers are controlled and legal hunting is limited. Tigers and Lions don't have the same level of protection in India and Africa.
Cougars, definitely, because there's an endangered sort that lives in my area. I've never seen one, but I've heard the, and one time, saw a footprint. It was about the size of my hand now. Maybe a little bigger.

Cougars may be better protected and more numerous, but they've still experienced major range reductions.

Oh wait, best big cat? I though it said biggest. Because I voted tiger for biggest, not for best. And I hope that no ones voted liger, because it will be a bit of time before I think cross breeding endangered animals is a good thing.

Are you kidding? The protection for lions in India is very high, and they are taking steps for protecting them.
I voted jaguar, by the way.
I can't see that but I assume it's something about Ligers.
It's the clip from Napoleon Dynamite where Napoleon shows his liger drawing to Deb.
I love leopards. Looks like I'm the only one who likes them best.
Blue.
Yellow is superior in every way.
Quote from: Vilu Daskar on November 02, 2015, 05:09:22 PM

Yellow is a loud, blaring color that distracts from everything else while hurting your eyes. Red, on the other hand, is a nice color. While not hurting the eyes, it is still enjoyable to see and has a lot of color combinations. Red is not blaring. It is soft and smooth.
BLUE!
Usually, I vote red. But blue is just as good.
If we're going by actual colour the primary colours are, then red! There are some blue colours I really like, but primary blue itself is not a great colour for me. Yellow just never has appealed to me too much.
And the winner by nine votes is Blue.
New Poll.
I said hot.
Despite how it triggers my acid reflux, I really like spicy food. Of all kinds.
I don't like salsa per se, but a little bit of capsaisin can sometimes make food really delicious. Mild, though, more than that and I can't eat it.
Rus doesn't know what he's missing out on.
The Winner is Hot.
New Poll.
Orange
Green, obviously.
Orange is the GOAT of all colors.

What, watering eyes, a runny nose, and a searing mouth? No, yeah, I'm good. People have different tolerances for that sort of thing.
Green.
Me too! ;D
I think I need to change this.
What do you mean by secondary color?
A color that is made by a combination of colors.
There's the primary colors red, yellow,and blue. When you mix two of them together i.e. red and yellow you get a secondary color.
Orange!
Orange!!!
Apparently I can't change the poll.
There's no option to change it any more.
Hmm, strange.
Purple!
No, GREEEEEEEEENNNN
Can a mod change polls?
Yep! I can do that.
