MoogleViper Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 It's based on the Indian event Holi (unless that one is just something random). We've got one on campus in 2 weeks, I'm looking forward to it but slightly worried by how easy it is to shower afterwards?! The stuff came out of my clothes fine (although I put my jeans and t-shirt in together, as I didn't actually think my t-shirt would come clean, so that's now dyed blue). Doesn't take too much scrubbing to wash it off of your body.
Jimbob Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Couple of recent snaps And of course, a terrible photobomb
Beast Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Stop trying to make fridgeselfie happen. It's not going to happen. I fucking love you sometimes! I love anybody who quotes Mean Girls though... Couple of recent snaps Oh my God, Bob Marley, I love your work!

Based off it yeah, but I can't help agree in that I feel it's another trendy cash-in. Is it really a Holi festival if it's nowhere near Holi, and in all likelihood, attended by a load of people not even remotely 'celebrating' it?

I do see your point and mostly agree but how many of us go to church at Christmas?
MoogleViper Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Is it really a Holi festival if it's nowhere near Holi, and in all likelihood, attended by a load of people not even remotely 'celebrating' it? Is that any different to Christmas, Easter or any other mainstream "religious" event?
arab_freak Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 We call it the "Indian Color Festival" in Egypt. They're done on an almost weekly basis by different organizers who just want to make a quick buck. I don't think most people who attend the thing know, let alone care, what it's based on. http://www.cracked.com/article_19579_7-insane-festivals-you-wont-believe-are-legal_p2.html
Rummy Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I do see your point and mostly agree but how many of us go to church at Christmas? But how many people have various little Christmases throughout the year around the world where lots of tickets are sold and money is made by the organisers? Even with Easter, Christmas etc at least they're properly done annual events with their unique celebrations around the time they occur. Most of these supposed 'holi' festivals of colour I've seen are nowhere near it! What is Holi even a celebration of anyway? Powder paint? Similar to diwali, christmas, or easter - it's a celebration related to some religious text/story from hinduism with an annual occurence around the same time each year(marchish).
MoogleViper Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 Well most of these religious events were originally just taken/stolen/adapted from original cultures and events anyway, so surely this is just another step forwards in the evolution of these events? Christmas and Easter are nothing like the celebrations from centuries ago; and even less like the Pagan Winter Solstice festivals that Christmas is based on. When I was doing it, I wasn't thinking about how I was participating in a religious festival, I didn't care. It was just a bit of fun to enjoy with a few friends.
Rummy Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 I know, but imagine if I posted some pictures of me now in the summer all dressed in red and green with my christmas tree up and then posted it going 'Look, did my first Christmas today!' - it'd seem so weird and out of place no? That's the same I see when folks are posting up all their 'Holi' photos nowhere around the occasion itself!

drahkon Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Dude, you look smexy as hell! And no, I'm not talking about ReZ's photo
Emma Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Check out who we bumped into at Sheffield Food Festival yesterday! @Blade! He was lovely and really funny! ...Our meeting caused a glitch in the Matrix (behind me!)
ReZourceman Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Dude, you look smexy as hell! And no, I'm not talking about ReZ's photo The Peeps and I.
Fierce_LiNk Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 Check out who we bumped into at Sheffield Food Festival yesterday! @Blade! He was lovely and really funny! ...Our meeting caused a glitch in the Matrix (behind me!) Was it a cold day, @Blade? You could kill someone with those nipples, bwaha. I joke, you all look very sexy. I'm convinced that we are the sexiest Nintendo forum out there. Edit: Nevermind, just seen ReZ's post.
bob Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 I joke, you all look very sexy. I'm convinced that we are the sexiest Nintendo forum out there. If more proof were needed, here i am in Amschterdam; (Sorry about the lack of nipples.)
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 27, 2014 Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Shoulda got one with Marti myself, but was too semi-hungover to remember. Got a hug though, which was cool. Here's me at the back looking really into my game. And later on Sunday getting my dreams eaten by a Haunter. Edited May 27, 2014 by EEVILMURRAY
Kav Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 (edited) Pretty much the only reasonable picture of us from the weekend @Blade... we're far too much a mess on the others, haha! I don't smoke so I'd not normally be a twat with a cigar but it was a celebration so needs must! Also, it's not urine in the glass, it's Jim Bean Honey, haha. Edited June 2, 2014 by Kav
Zechs Merquise Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Mate, you look awesome! Cigars suit you, especially as you have a JD and honey, all works well.
Kaepora_Gaebora Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 You look like a proper wide boy there @kav82 haha Like to think @Blade is holding a bottle of champagne just out of shot there, living the high life!
Kav Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 You look like a proper wide boy there @kav82 haha Like to think @Blade is holding a bottle of champagne just out of shot there, living the high life! To be honest the champagne came out later that night! Haha
