Is anything impressive anymore?

[Kid Presentable]

It doesn't feel like we're being subjected to anything radical or new these days; moreso just revamped versions of things that were once radical and new. The mp3 player is just a walkman, mobile phones are just adaptations of the telephone, videogames look better but play much the same, music is perpetually about 'the next big thing' to the point where people hop on board the latest and greatest and move on (leaving a small loyal cluster), movies keep telling the same story, teenagers are still just sex-crazed and self-absorbed despite how different the world appears to be.

I think society is hitting a plateau. Space-travel works as a pretty good analogy for how I feel; we know we want to live on Mars, the first hurdle is inventing the technology to get there. I'm fucking high as shit..

[mikizee]

This (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,22689812-2,00.html) I found pretty impressive.

[Kid Presentable]

Hey mike what are you up to today man? What's with the pills? How you been bro?

[mikizee]

The pills thing was a joke, given the panic about the board.

I'm cool. Shot a music video with Masta Ace on Monday in Melb. I caught his fucking cold. So now I have a weird american cold.

Its another week I guess. I want to be high too.

[Kid Presentable]

That tank is kinda cool, but I refuse to be impressed.

[mikizee]

Reminds me of that Homer in australia line...

'Problem yank?'

'Its kinda big...... I guess'

[RobMoney$]

I'm still impressed everytime a girl puts her hand down my pants for the first time.

[TurdBerglar]

i was looking through a massive holiday toy catalogue recently and all the toys are fucking the same just styled differently. nothing is fucking new. NOTHING. i think growing up in the eighties and early nineties was the penacle of kickass cool toys. i was not at all impressed. the only thing that did impress me though were these tiny radio controlled hellicopters. that shit wasn't around back then.

[Drederick Tatum]

I still dig a good fireworks display.

[Yetra Flam]

depends where you come from and what you're used to. coming from my tiny shithole town, everyfuckingthing here is so incredible impressive.

[Yetra Flam]

and yeah, bright coloured lights get me all giddy.

[mikizee]

Explosives always get me mega excited

I'm just glad I'm not a fundamentalist, or there'd be trouble

[Kid Presentable]

Actually, I saw a Transformers toy ad on TV the other night, that was surprising. I remember watching them 20 years ago. That's impressive at the same time as proving my point.

[TurdBerglar]

the transformers were the things in the catalog that bugged me the most. they were exactly the same but with just more plastic and stickers. i'd figured by now they'd be transforming in much more ridiculous ways. and they've made them much smaller. i remember my optimus prime was fucking massive.

[icy manipulator]

a $6.95 beer and burger at the pub is still very impressive so i'm gonna go get one.

oh, and invisibility cloak technology has been around for a while

I AINT IMPRESSED!

[Kid Presentable]

Damn bro, that price is pretty impressive. What beer you goin for?

[mikizee]

a $6.95 beer and burger at the pub is still very impressive so i'm gonna go get one.

oh, and invisibility cloak technology has been around for a while

I AINT IMPRESSED!

I'm impressed, I want a beer and burger NOW

[-T-]

I am definitely not impressed with this thread!!! OOOhhhhh.

Ok that sucked.:(



I guess I have to agree on this subject at this point.

[icy manipulator]

i went with Extry Dry coz i've never tried it on tap before. it wasn't that impressive. the burger tho, friggin orgasmic. and this after burger durrie is putting my senses into overdrive

[russhie]

I'm still impressed by some things, but they're more or less things people achieve, as opposed to the creation of new shit.

[icy manipulator]

i'm so unimpressed with everything atm that i've resorted to playing Magic online. and i'm very unimpressed at how long it's taking this douchebag to declare his blockers :mad:

[hitmonlee]

edit.

[russhie]

Wesley Denning's hosting skills are impressive.

[icy manipulator]

Wesley Denning's hosting skills are impressive.

is he still on totally wild? i ran into his brother a couple of weeks ago. reminisced about the good old days

[russhie]

^ Yep.

[jabumbo]

i think all of the stuff that would be considered impressive just ends up being pretty fucked up on a moral standpoint


like all the cloning shit and half the medical breakthroughs. while they are really amazing things, sometimes they have to figure them out with a little bit of work in the immoral side of things

[Kid Presentable]

I tried eating rice yesterday, and must have hit a nerve. Within seconds my legs went numb, I started sweating profusely (I mean, drenched) and my vision went completely blurry. That was pretty impressive.

[mikizee]

all from eating rice?

I'm impressed by how good my new free DC kicks are.

[Kid Presentable]

Yeah, I think it might have got into the wound. I mean, I hope that's what it was because it was fucking scary.

[icy manipulator]

5 mins til lunchtime again:D

[paul jones]

I have to say I am impressed with FIFA 08

[Kid Presentable]

icy what are you doing these days?

[mikizee]

it seems he is doing lunch

[icy manipulator]

just looking for work atm, well decent work i mean. i had an interview with GE last week for a really good spot. cept i kinda blew it coz i was nervous as all fuck. plus it's in melbourne which i'm not too keen on

oh, and today's burger was wicked. and i went for a coke instead of beer

[ToucanSpam]

Once you've seen 2 girls 1 cup nothing is shocking, radical or sane ever again.

[b i o n i c]

thats probably the most disgusting thing ive seen this year. i got about 5 seconds into it, effin vile.

[Randetica]

i dont even know why people still click that link, it's no secret that theres nasty stuff going on

is the curiosity really worth the trauma fo life?

[russhie]

Melbourne isn't that bad.

Kid P, colour me impressed.

[camo]

unreal 3 on ps3 impressed me last night. As did Uncharted (y)

Plus my girlfriend has the most impressive bottom I've ever seen, it never fails to impress (y)

[yellow]

i recently had some prayers answered and i was impressed

[scotty]

I'm impressed by eastern quolls. They sneak up on sleeping birds and knock them off their branches.

[insertnamehere]

i dont even know why people still click that link, it's no secret that theres nasty stuff going on

you underestimate the power of curiosity. and i hardly think i'd call it "trauma"... especially "for life." yeah its fuckin nasty, but i mean, ive seen my dog eat vomit before. nothing new.

[Kid Presentable]

Somebody showed me three 'actresses' pissing, shitting and vomiting on another 'actress' and then they all got into a shower together. She looked like the animated chocolate people from the Cadbury's ads. That was impressive, 2 years ago.

[Randetica]

look above, people are still whining about it
