General Discussion IV: A Lesson in Cetology

quote Wikipedia
Cetology (from Greek κῆτος, kētos, "whale"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of marine mammal science that studies the approximately eighty species of whales, dolphins, and porpoise in the scientific order Cetacea. Cetologists, or those who practice cetology, seek to understand and explain cetacean evolution, distribution, morphology, behavior, community dynamics, and other topics. Greetings everyone. A month or so ago I promised Saga a GD dedicated to him and his interests. I figured what better topic to discuss than the whale, aka his favorite species of marine animal. Now, let's get something straight here. My good friend Andy loves all kinds of whales, but his absolute favorite is the Sperm Whale. Below are some images of these glorious creatures:    So there you have it everyone. Continue to discuss pretty much anything. Thank you for your time.

Alright guys, I think we all had our fill of jokes for a lifetime. Try not to put the thread through too much abuse. I don't have an issue with hitting a bunch of topics, but at least make sure they're somewhat productive. The one liners and puns don't really do much for anyone else trying to discuss.

Just saw Wreck it Ralph SO AWESOME!
Not gonna lie I kinda want to see it. I feel like I'd understand at least a few of the video game references. We're supposed to get a snow storm over here on Wednesday into Thursday. I really don't mind the cold weather anymore. I used to hate it but now it's not so bad. And Eiche it's fine man. I hope it didn't sound like I'm anti-joking around..

canderson, I will help you out with that. For lack of a better term, "we're screwed." There is no longer anything to discuss about it! Anyone looking forward to Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) yet? I'm already seeing decorations and lights popping up everywhere.

I change my avatar wayyyy too much ;~; But i am going to be keeping this one of Kimbra for a long time since Kubrick was kind enough to donate it to me :33 I know exactly how you feel. John234MKWii It's not too difficult to find any old picture that fits the size limit. Actually I'm pretty sure it gets automatically resized. May not look perfect but at least it's something.

ohohoho. I can't wait to bring out a certain avatar with a santa hat. It's going to be glorious.  Kinda slow posting on my end due to the massive amount of school work + regular work to do. It's constant running back and forth.

You all think you can stick to your current avatars for at least a year? XD
There isn't a chance. Maybe if it was a few years ago I'd be able to, but not anymore. I can't stand keeping the same one for too long.

I've had this avatar for 3 years, only changed it once I believe, then changed it right back.
That's dedication. All in all I'd probably go through about 10+ switches over the course of that time. Thrawn I know how you feel. At this point I don't even want the 70 degree weather anymore. I'm fine with the cold at this point. Ohohoh, just wait for the Christmas one...

I'm beginning to wonder which is more frequent. A mario topic (which is fine considering we're ya know..in a Mario game forum), or another stupid rant by Charlie. Fortunately, the first one is still going strong for now. I'd never be able to keep the same avatar. I'd probably be the first one out to be honest.

Racist. There's nothing to relax about. Not everything I say is intelligent, not everything you say is funny. It's the ideal balance I suppose!

I'll be getting it as soon as it becomes available locally or online.
Right here! Break has officially started, so I'm no longer a slave to my papers.  Ehh the Wii U is an issue for me. I don't want it, but I know the second I hear a new Zelda is being released I'm probably going to buy it. I can't help it.

Well it looks like an iPad with Nintendo buttons and sticks on the sides. I don't know. If it's too gimmicky, most likely I will skip it. I have yet to play Zelda: Skyward Sword (Can you believe it, Virtue?) because I don't have the WiiMotion stuff they say I need. *Sigh* I never finished Skyward Sword, but for what I played it was pretty good. The control scheme was a bit annoying but I feel like I was just getting to the good part. The mine was the absolute worst though.

Don't see the point in things like this. I mean...what form of entertainment does this bring? It has to be troll bait or something, there's no other explanation. The only good side: At least it wasn't an N64!

Happy Thanksgiving guys. I'd also like to personally thank all of you for sticking around and allowing this place to still have some life to it. I know it's rough in a game that didn't offer anything new, but it's nice to see some discussion value going on. canderson, that's alright I suppose. The GC had some really good years, I just don't know if they can compare to the Nintendo 64.

You'll all be happy to know I survived my overnight shift. I was supposed to be 7-7 but the 5am deal was a joke so they let me out early. Not going to lie, it wasn't totally bad. Got paid for doing nothing and the crowd wasn't nearly as bad as last year.

Wow it sounds like everything worked out pretty well for you. My poor older sister has to work from 4:30 this morning to about 1:00 this afternoon.
She said the crowds are rough. That's a rough time. I'd rather just get it out of the way than have my shift continue into an afternoon. What makes it worse is that it's going to busy for the rest of the year until Christmas is over.

So, I think the obvious thing you need to learn about being employed in America is getting used to the Black Friday crowds. Well, at least in means bucketloads of cash.
Well that's the unfortunate thing. I only got paid extra for the hours I worked on Thanksgiving night. After 12am that's pretty much it. I can only hope I'll be out of there by next year so I don't have to go through it yet again.

By the way, explain to me what exactly is Cybermonday.  Adding onto what Thrawn said, I have a feeling Cyber Monday is going to eventually mold into Black Friday. There were a lot of online deals Thursday-Friday. Plus it's just far more convenient. Why have a separate event (let alone of a "return to work" day at that) and risk less profit? I hope online retailers continue to have deals on Friday instead.

Oh, so this event is specifically for online purchases? You think it's only for online goods or for online services as well?
Thanks for the explanation guys!
Yeah it's all online. I'm not sure how it'd work in Bolivia though with the shipping and all that. I'm assuming that purchasing something here and shipping out to your country would be quite expensive no?

After a bit of research today, somehow over $1 billion were spent today. I'm ridiculously shocked on how many people participated today. o__O You know, my store said that we had +117% in sales on Black Friday, which was significantly better than any of the other stores around my area. I was pretty shocked to be honest. I thought they would suffer real bad considering the 5 a.m sales were a joke.

Ebay kinda creeps me out. The thought of bidding on items online just doesn't sit well with me. Plus I'm pretty sure they make you use Paypal? I'm not sure how correct I am, but if that's the case I won't even bother looking anything up on there.

You know I've got almost 1941 posts in 5 months, but yeah, you are right that you don't actually have a passion to post, don't post just because you feel like it, but because you're posting for a reason and one reason only: to add to the discussion.
It's a common mistake. When you're newer you kinda want to post about everything and anything just because it's new. I would hope you received a warning at first, though. There's what...10 people that post in that forum anymore? There's a reason nearly everyone who's intelligent thinks it's a laughing stock.
