Cuz MS paint sux :down:
MS Paint is the only Microsoft programme I've ever sang the praises of. My borther once wanted to resize an image. He cranked up Fireworks (which takes forever), then spent a minute getting through all the menues to get this simple task done. Finally, Fireworks crashed, taking his several minutes work with it. I opened MS Paint and had the same thing done in about 6 seconds. It don't do much, but it does it fast and well. :D

I just had to dig up this thread and add these "verbal wonders" of Martin to this list:

On being Vegetarian and the argument of eating meat:
"They say there's a difference between killing a plant and killing an animal...There is... Plants are stationary while animals can runaway or hide, so it's fair game with them!"

On defending a one-on-one:
"I'm not good at defending because when someone's attacking, I don't move"




:howler:

The first one kept me awake for hours (well, that and the dozens of questions he threw my way in which i answered seriously and comprehensively while he was half asleep.) :D

Well I didn't realize you were going to blatantly embarass me, Majed :p And although I can't be sure because it's been over a week, I'm quite certain all of those are misquotes and had a better original formulation :p

Yeah... I knew I should have posted this earlier.
.... Paraphrasing... Quoting... who cares? :D

Misquoting should be acceptable if more than a week has passed since the source was read/heard///

oh whatever... you know what i mean.

It's that your paraphrasing has a way of making those statements look sillier than they originally were. And at this point I like to use a quote from Seinfeld: "In closing, these stories have not been embellished, because they need no embellishment". :D

Really?

Sillier? I don't think I can make something that silly sound sillier! I almost chocked laughing. :D

As for the second one, why do you think I had a smile on my face and a giggle in my tone the whole time we were at the park! ;)

You didn't, you looked bored much of that time because the game sucked. :p

For anyone interested, Majed totally kicked my ass going one-on-one in the park behind the Castello in Milano. We played on a grass field resembling a potato field, with a ball that had gone bad (wouldn't hold air) and just the two of us. But although I'm fond of making excuses for playing sucky (hey when you're no good, clutching at straws is all I got :p), this would have happened on a proper field anyway, the man can dribble :cool: I can not :D

Speaking of soccer, I had a hell of a time playing last weekend. Astroturf :touched::touched::touched: Inflated ball :touched::touched::touched: A full size goal on either side, complete with a net :touched::touched::touched:
