How To Random Banter:
Rules of the Random Banter Thread

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

@V: Is that better?

[Mutant Sheep]

Opening post could use some rules, and I petition that hte name be longer so the thread sticks out more. And more alliteratimg! And chickenz!

@^Much. Thank you.:smallsmile:

[Mynxae]

Do you really need to put in that you hate Twilight? :smallmad:

[CurlyKitGirl]

@Drakeburn: Sweetheart, when you copy pasted the first post over all the links to previous threads got left out and you forgot to link to the previous RB.
Now this is all done, go quote the first post of RB#189, copy-pasta the whole thing and edit the relevant bits into your post here.


Indeed. That ad is getting me really P.O.'d. I don't like it. I agree with anyone who doesn't like it, because screw that ad.

Wait, whats wrong with webcomics? This "Connie" feller is a strange strange person. Hating on webcomics and.. Well, nerddom. Go walk into some other persons room and complain about their beowsing habits.:smallannoyed:

I cant speel. Gah. Damn ipad.

*eyeroll*
Tell me about it. Worst thing?
Connie (who for all intents and purposes is now female for ease of reference regardless of actual RL sex and gender) is younger than me by about, oh, eleven months. And yet she proselytising about the unsuitable nature of my hobbies.
That's not saying I don't occasionally browse things considered unsuitable for children, but she's the youngest person in the house!
And somewhat miraculously for a twenty-something year old she still doesn't have a grasp on advertising on websites. Or adblock.

I wonder how she would react if I informed her that a major field of my personal studies focuses on incest?

Long story short, annoying nosy person is annoying and nosy. I am honestly beginning to wonder if she's have a fit of the vapours if she caught me watching Repo! The Genetic Opera while browsing through my Discworld/Gaiman/Doctor Who things.
They're all so inappropriate for a person my age!
:bigaghast:

[DraPrime]

Ah, a new thread!

*boogies*

In other news, I have fallen prey to some foul disease. Can't say I'm happy with this, given that I would prefer to be fully functional during my one week of break. Ah well, I suppose I can sit back and relax while experiencing the joy of studying Latin grammar.

I need a smoke. :smallsigh:

edit: In other other news, I have taken up tabletop wargaming. There goes all my money. On the bright side, four other seminarians are starting this hobby with this, so at least I have some friends with whom I can share the joys of bankruptcy. :smalltongue:

edit 2.0: Also, salve CirrataKitPuella! Though if Google Translate is to be believed, there is a Latin word for "kit", so perhaps you are CirrataLoculaPuella? I will need to consult one of several big books o' Latin back at the seminary.

In other other news (that's actually not news, just yelling questions):

WHY WON'T THEY JUST RELEASE BIT.TRIP FLUX ON PC ALREADY?!

@CurlyKitGirl: Don't remind me about copying and pasting 189 links. This is my first time doing this sort of thing, and you are pressuring me to do my least favorite part of the job. I'll do that from time to time, but I have to do a quiz for my college class first.

You chose to make the new thread, so it's your duty to do it. So don't just complain about it, considering it was your choice to make the new thread.

It's not that difficult to do all the links. Just copy and paste the code from the previous first post. It takes less than 5 minutes.

[MoonCat]

Quote the OP from the last page and add the latest thread. And you chose to do the new thread, you have to do this. This isn't a job, or a chore, you volunteered to do something people tend to argue over wanting to do.

[Amidus Drexel]

-snip, this "Connie" person-

Doesn't understand... online advertising? :smallconfused:

Um... I don't have anything on hand for you to hit her with. Sorry. :smallamused:

If she's got problems with Discworld or Dr. Who, of all things, then let her faint.

My friend, it's not as hard as you're making it out to be; quote the first post of the last thread, and edit out the quote tags. There's no need to click on every single one. :smalleek:

Edit: I got the living crap ninja'd out of me here. Pardon me, Drakeburn; I think it'll be quite thoroughly beaten to death by the time you read this.

ION: And a simple question would have saved me an hour and a half of unproductive noodling... :smallsigh: Well, not entirely unproductive. I got a melody down for part of it.

[MoonCat]

DB: copy everything within and including the following spoiler tags, then add at the end of the list the latest thread. Don't complain about a privilege you took upon.

And yes, I agree about not putting hate in the OP. I mean, I agree, Twilight is the worst, but is that really the note to start on?

Leopard seals would be even worse at adapting to non-antarctic inland conditions than the penguins.

The ostriches don't need to plan on stopping the penguins, an ostrich could kill a penguin by tripping over it. A herd(?) of ostriches could run through a flock(?) of penguins leaving a trail of devastation and not even noticing.

Leopard seals can be almost four meters long and weigh 1300 pounds. If the penguins are too big for them to eat, then the ostriches won't even slow those penguins down.

The ostriches don't need to charge. Just think of them as an enviromental hazard. Anyway, how do your penguins plan to defeat hippopotamuses?

Well, a platypus is pretty small compared to a leopard seal, maybe they can just absorb the poison by sheer body mass. After all, I eat and drink a bunch of stuff that'd kill me in larger quantities.

Why are you letting her? :smallconfused:


Long story short, annoying nosy person is annoying and nosy. I am honestly beginning to wonder if she's have a fit of the vapours if she caught me watching Repo! The Genetic Opera while browsing through my Discworld/Gaiman/Doctor Who things.

Indeed. That ad is getting me really P.O.'d. I don't like it. I agree with anyone who doesn't like it, because screw that ad.

What's wrong with webcomics?


It's the only ad on here that caught my eye, but that was just because it seems very out of place on this website. I get the gist of what it's advertising and I don't think it's supposed to be there but I'm not sure.

All comics are awesome in my book, though I got called a nerd for having to explain a computer virus related XCKD venn diagram after finding it vaguely funny.


They're all so inappropriate for a person my age!


Your post implies you're over 20. That sort of statement doesn't really apply anymore. :smallconfused:


Do you really need to put in that you hate Twilight? :smallmad:

Funny thing is even I don't hate Twilight and the bookshop has 3 full sets of the books which people rarely ask for anymore. If it's not a book one wants to read, then one can go read another book. There are a really vast number of books out there, getting hung up on the commercialisation of an average yet really quite popular book series is not worth it because it happens all the time. Need I remind you that Fifty Shades series exists? Why don't people mass hate on that? It's not worth it.


Australia has a whole lot of coastline.
Are platypuses particularly difficult to eat?

Platypuses are more river creatures so you won't see many on the coastline being eaten. As far as I know, they're also endangered, so you won't see many anyway.


If it'd be that devastating to her psyche, I vote do it. Who knows, you may even change her life for the not-horrible.

It's doubtful. It sounds horrible, but it seems some people are just like that though I do recommend watching Repo! the Genetic Opera again anyway because it's good.

Not that I've watched much of the show, but Rarity is the sort of character I wouldn't associate with in person at all. Applejack though, I wouldn't mind. I might be biased on that one, having grown up with a few people like her. We wouldn't be best pals, but still.

Fluttershy to me isn't a character I would love. Then again, I'm not the sort to have watched enough of the show to grow to love Fluttershy, and she really seems like that kinda character.

Hopefully you'll get better soon.

Well, if you're going to bankrupt yourself doing something, you might as well have other friends to share the joys associated with it.

Likely the Latin for kit, as in a set of tools for performing a task, not kit as in the diminutive of cat.



And yes, I agree about not putting hate in the OP. I mean, I agree, Twilight is the worst, but is that really the note to start on?

Anyway... News from my life... On Tuesday, we find a four or five foot long snakeskin in the eaves at the bottom of the back stairs. Apparently, we have a carpet snake slithering around somewhere. Which is good, as it will keep down the vermin.
It also solves another mystery; one of our cats was terrified of going out the back door, so she must have smelled it hanging around.
Also, the bananas are flourishing, thus attractive honeyeaters to their flowers, the tibouchina is in flower, the roses are doing lovely, the passionfruit vine is thriving, and the bare patches that we had in the back lawn have taken on moss and grass and shall soon be gone.
And yesterday, I was taken to the local gaming store for my birthday and purchased about twenty dollars of Magic cards and a box for them. Amidus in particular will appreciate the box as it is bacon themed.

Oh, and on the topic of ponies: You are all completely incorrect. There is no one best pony and there is no worst pony. We all have our own opinions, and it should be left at that.

[DraPrime]

I like Rarity 'cause she's just so outrageous and simply... Fabulous. :smallcool:

Anathema! Anathema I say! :smalltongue:


Likely the Latin for kit, as in a set of tools for performing a task, not kit as in the diminutive of cat.

Is that what the Kit in CKG's name means? I've been wondering about that for years. Right then, it is CirrataCattulaPuella.

[Rain Dragon]

Anyway... News from my life... On Tuesday, we find a four or five foot long snakeskin in the eaves at the bottom of the back stairs. Apparently, we have a carpet snake slithering around somewhere. Which is good, as it will keep down the vermin.

I love snakes. I don't know why, but I always have. My father used to get annoyed when I borrowed books about snakes from the library, but I did it anyway.

Banana trees are cool as long as you don't want to grow anything in that area for a while.

BACON! I like bacon. I should swing round some time and see how your deck matches up against mine. :smallcool:

Well, they're certainly interesting. I prefer birds, but snakes are my favourite reptile after turtles and tortoises.

We have no plans to replace our banana plants (they're not trees) with other vegetation.

You should. And I have a feeling it doesn't stack up well at all. I'm terrible at these things.

There are a lot of custom themed boxes about the place, not just the Ultra Pro or more official MtG ones. I very highly recommend getting deck sleeves (make sure there are at least 75 for your deck and sideboard) because sometimes accidents happen. Some cards are worth $20+ you know!

Bacon is great. I have been known to cook bacon at 3AM before. We actually had someone visit for a week and sleep in the room right next to the kitchen... They didn't get much sleep on weekends because when I'm awake, I'm almost constantly eating.

Alas Drexel, were you to be in an area of Australia I could visit I would play MtG with you too but as far as I know you're in a different timezone. Oh well... Though I highly recommend you look up cockatrice to play with your online buddies if you can't get enough of playing MtG and don't want to spend dosh on MTGO.

Hmm, the more I clean my desk the more cluttered it becomes!

EDIT:

I'm terrible at these things... (May not be exact quote)

That's ok. I was going to bring my just for fun deck to play against Kits just for fun. I'll bring dragons as well. Because dragons are awesome. Fear not good sir, for this dragons deck is nowhere near the sort you would see at any sort of competitive game!

I don't know. It's just that it's the same word as "cat" but with one vowel switched. It doesn't seem like much of a diminutive to me. The question is, where is Cirrata, and when can she answer this myster for us?

[Rawhide]

The Duckbilled Platypus is one of my favorite animals, for two very important reasons.

1: It's a platypus

2: The Duckbilled part implies that there are Platypus without duck bills. Can you imagine a normal Platypus but with, say, a flamingo beak!!?

But it's not a duckbilled platypus, and don't let Serpentine here you say that it is. The duck-billed bit is sometimes added by people, despite it not being the actual name or there being any other species of platypus.


The name "platypus" is often prefixed with the adjective "duck-billed" to form duck-billed platypus, despite there being only one species of platypus.

Weeeeell, I don't actually have an MtG deck. :smallredface: (I've played the game (borrowed decks) and know how it works, but I've never gotten myself into it). Maybe I will, though, when I've got the spare cash to get myself enough cards for a deck.

Massachusetts indeed. Hmmm...you are 8-10 hours south of me. If that is by car, then you are probably somewhere in Virginia. If by plane, then you are somewhere in South America. Either way, those are both too far away for a late night bacon party. By the time you'd get here it would be light out. I suggest you begin traveling in the afternoon so that we can coordinate for the next night. This gives us time to order bacon suits and find other Playgrounders.

Looks like I have my work cut out for me sorting through the stack of cards I have in my room. Kits doesn't like red, so they're all mine! I'll show you some of the interesting ones.

It's simple. It's a shortening of a diminutive.
For example: Cat - kitten - kitty cat - kitty - kit.



Well, you see... I have no idea, actually.

It's a conspiracy against me. People are trying to limit my temporal power on this plane of existence, seeking to limit me to merely a source of wisdom and knowledge.

They're not that expensive. And there are some good cards out right now.
There's the Innistrad block and the Return to Ravnica block, both of which are quite good.
Anyway... My friend spent twenty-three dollars on cards and I got quite a number, too many in fact for the deck I was trying to build. (Just so you know, it was only twenty cents on average per card.)



I'm talking about the series. Not the pony who does whatever the hell it is ponies do.

I know. But it makes me feel better to occasionally pretend it wasn't published. And seeing as it was only a teen romance novel, I'm allowed to be a bit silly about it from time to time. Same with MLP. That's only a cartoon show, so I can be silly about it as well.

Virginia it is! Yes, probably... I'd spend more time driving then I would partying and eating bacon... There has to be a solution to this predicament.

Well, everything's expensive when you don't have a job... I'm trying to only spend money on gas, strings, and the occasional snack. :\

Hrm... That's a good deal cheaper than I remember CCGs being (unless I completely misunderstand the relationship between Australian and US dollars); I may have to get me some cards, then.

Your post implies you're over 20. That sort of statement doesn't really apply anymore. :smallconfused:

Childish things, including the fear of seeming childish. Yadda, yadda.


Funny thing is even I don't hate Twilight and the bookshop has 3 full sets of the books which people rarely ask for anymore. If it's not a book one wants to read, then one can go read another book. There are a really vast number of books out there, getting hung up on the commercialisation of an average yet really quite popular book series is not worth it because it happens all the time. Need I remind you that Fifty Shades series exists? Why don't people mass hate on that? It's not worth it.

Well, it was mass-mocked, just on a smaller scale. Hate rarely is, but, then, there you go, I suppose.


It's doubtful. It sounds horrible, but it seems some people are just like that though I do recommend watching Repo! the Genetic Opera again anyway because it's good.

Well, it's win-win, either it causes them to ragequit, infects them and files the paperwork for getting the stick surgically removed from their colon, and Curly gets to let loose and enjoy herself in the most larger-than-life way.

Well, things probably seem cheaper to me because I never spend my money so it accumulates.

And I can never remember anything about the international currency situation either. I used to, but then stuff happened.

Anyway... I don't know how much they'd cost where you are. I only know how much they cost at my local gaming store, and those were common cards from the recently released sets.
My sister and my friend tried to get me to look at the rare cards, but I was not swayed by such temptations.

Oh boy, I have a job and my money really accumulates. It's a bit disturbing if you ask me, you'd think being an adult is more expensive. Nope. I get to spend money on hobbies and save up for a house. Simple. I suppose I'm not an adult in a complicated situation.

Hey, I have two spare cards which cost $25 each. I have a playset of cards I'm using which are $16 each and a spare in my collection. If someone were to steal those seven cards and sell them at your average price that's over one hundred dollars! A budget standard deck can put you out $100 still, and a good Esper Control deck can cost $400-$600 and that's not including Legacy! Playing with solid commons with friends is probably a good idea, lest one goes weak at the knees staring down the price of playing.

I can really highly recommend to Mr Drexel draft with friends. If you can afford $15 (in the US, boosters are $5 each) you should look into it. It's a good way to get cards, and you can trade them into that $200 deck over time without hurting your wallet too much all at once. This also has the added benefit of giving you time to familiarise yourself with the game.

If you just want casual fun, Duels of the Planeswalkers on Steam should only be $20. I haven't checked recently.


And you thought Rarity was bad. :smallamused: Mwahahahahaha! Mine is an evil laugh!

Draft is fun, I can attest to that. But then, I usually don't have to pay for the boosters. And you can get some pretty nice cards out of it if you're lucky.
I'll have to show you my Giant Adephage some time. It's pretty awesome. I won a game with it once, which was a simple matter of tricking my sister into wasting her last counterspell on a Nimbus Swimmer so I could put it on the field.

Shame about the Nimbus Swimmer though... I had to spend a lot of mana to make that bluff believable...

The trick, dear Gnomish, is to read everything and reply to that which interests or concerns you. It's very daunting at first, but eventually, one begins to fit in.
And besides, if you really want, you can start your own conversational material alongside all the other random conversations that are happening at any one time. This is random banter, after all.

An uncomfortably large number of my games against newer players are won by bluff, but I guess that comes from playing a lot of poker. Learning tells like mana being left open, obscure attacks, etc. can help a lot. You can also get away with sneaking through some damage with a vanilla 2/2 under certain circumstances depending on board state without bluffing. It'll all come to you with experience but bluffing is one of the parts of the game I find fun.

I feel the same way when somehow surrounded by my sister's friends. I then feel awkward when I say something and they just pull faces at me. Well, I thought it was relevant... Not meaning to be sexist, but I don't understand 'girl talk' at all.

Very little things called Twilight are good. I can think of two!

Twilight Sparkle (being the worst doesn't mean she's still not good)

Twilight Princess (Zelda game~)

I'm sure there are others. I've forgotten what they are, but on the other hand I can only think of one bad thing called Twilight, so it evens out.


Oh, and on the topic of ponies: You are all completely incorrect. There is no one best pony and there is no worst pony. We all have our own opinions, and it should be left at that.

I agree!
But Twilight Sparkle is best pony.

Either that, or it's short for Catherine.

It's very emphatically not that second one.

If you have nothing to say on the current subject(s), you can just talk about your own stuff. I mean, Curly has pretty much treated the RB thread as her own personal blog a fair few times. As have I on occasion. The only real way to get into RB is to dive straight in head first and go for it. Then, before you know it, you'll be a regular, and then after a while more, almost everyone you're used to talking to will have vanished and you'll gradually drift away.
Unless you're one of the ones who vanishes first. That could also be a thing, but I can't speak of it from personal experience.

I felt like this too.

I was just agreeing with Moony because she's my frieeeeeend please don't crucify me :smallredface:

Also Sheldon is a terrible character and that show is a terrible show.


But it's not a duckbilled platypus, and don't let Serpentine here you say that it is. The duck-billed bit is sometimes added by people, despite it not being the actual name or there being any other species of platypus.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platypus

I didn't know this! Also, I know there is only one Platypus species, but the fact that it implies that it's not is interesting.


I'm talking about the series. Not the pony who does whatever the hell it is ponies do.

Now I feel silly.

[Rawhide]

Actually, there is another platypus... (http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures/trees/beetles/platypus.htm)

Well, thanks everyone, for my one topic to actually get more than 3 people to look at it. It had a good run.
PS Drake- One usually links to the last RB twice, one directly, as you did, and the other at the bottom of the list of links in the spoiler. Saves the next guy some time.

And don't worry Gnomish, I felt the same way for a while. But it's really not a big deal at all: most of my posts here don't get responses, but it's not because people are judging what I say I think. And other times I create half-page discussions on proper hatwear for allosaurs (popular opinion was top hats).

[Amidus Drexel]

-snip, that's more money than I have-

I can really highly recommend to Mr Drexel draft with friends. If you can afford $15 (in the US, boosters are $5 each) you should look into it. It's a good way to get cards, and you can trade them into that $200 deck over time without hurting your wallet too much all at once. This also has the added benefit of giving you time to familiarise yourself with the game.

If you just want casual fun, Duels of the Planeswalkers on Steam should only be $20. I haven't checked recently.

Yours an evil laugh, an evil laugh indeed? Perhaps such evil laughs have no effect on me anymore, alas how sad...

*nods* Good to know. I think I'll drop by the hobby shop and look into it, the next time I'm out that way.

Evil laughs have to be timed at the right moment, to have the right effect. :smalltongue:


I don't understand how you people do it!

Which is to say, I want to participate in these kinds of threads, but I cannot. The subject matter is often personal and conversation can continue throughout multiple v posts; try as I might I still feel as though I am interrupting or not adding meaningful output to the discussions at hand. It's... moderately frustrating.

What, you think we're adding meaningful things? I'm pretty sure I'm still in a conversation about supernaturally powerful penguins. :smallamused:

Just jump in! It's like... a swimming pool. There are always some of those odd people hanging out with two-year olds in the shallow end, but we're trying to get a game of water polo going over here.

...This analogy has gotten away from me.



ION: My heating system is completely replaced! Gas leak is no more! Thank goodness for living at an apartment, or things would have gotten REEEEAALLY tricky. Also, apparently a family squirrels had shacked up between the heating unit and air conditioner. Poor things.

Also Sheldon is a terrible character and that show is a terrible show.

And, having recently seen some of it, I'll agree with the first, and withhold my opinion on the second until I have seen more.

Also Sheldon is a terrible character and that show is a terrible show.

In my own opinion, which I am aware is not the most popular one and which has no rational basis I can explain, the show is largely entertaining as long as you don't think about it too much. There are a lot of things I enjoy that I realise aren't actually good when you look at them, and there are even things which I enjoyed until someone pointed out the flaws, or I started to notice them myself. The Big Bang Theory counts among the things which I know aren't good, but can still enjoy if I'm in the mood for something that doesn't require thought.

[Teddy]

I've been so terribly scatterbrained in the last week. My thoughts are all over the place, and I can't concentrate for more than a few minutes at a time. This is bad, because I need to study for an exam next week (or rather, two, but it's best to take them one at a time). Linear algebra isn't hard per se, since everything boils down to repeatedly applying the most basic algebraic operations to the problems until you get the answer, but there are so many theorems you're bound to forget which one to apply in which situation...

Well, I should do well enough if I just could beat myself into doing some honest repetition, but with my current focus, there's a fat chance I'll ever get to that point. I've spent several days trying to track down the definition of sign(q), which'd sound a lot more impressive if I didn't already from the beginning know which one of 2 or 3 of the lectures I should focus on, and already had full access to his notes. I just can't go through more than one page at a time before my brain just goes into complete lockdown and almost subconsciously switches over to something else.

Also, I can lose track of absurd amounts of time if I'm not careful. Earlier today, I spent almost an hour adding comments to a piece of intentionally bugged code. At first, this code was just frustratingly bugged, until I managed to root out the bug, still not knowing how it appeared. I spoke with my lecturer about how I percieved the bug, and he became intrigued, asking me to send him a copy. Cue me reintroducing the same pieces of code that caused the bug to appear again (done in ten minutes), whereafter I finally managed to figure out how the bug worked. When I explained this to my lecturer, he asked me to add comments to it and send it to him so he could use it as an example, or perhaps add something similar to a lab sometime in the future to make life more interesting.

I think I may have gotten a cold (again), or even worse, the flu (but either it's terribly lame for a flu, takes a long time to break out, or I my immune defense is a lot more resistent to it than I'd expected), because I've been terribly tired even when I get a decent amount of sleep, and yesterday, I had another crash, this time despite not even having been hyped on adrenalin...

Unless you have some serious heat, I wouldn't be so sure. 6 inches of somewhat compact snow isn't a small amount, and it can take a lot of time for it to melt away. Especially if your nights are cold, since even when the snow melts, there aren't many places for the water to go, so it just stays in the snow and freezes when the temperature drops below zero.

Then again, you may not have the same frost in the ground as we do, which can block any water from being drained away from below and cools it from beneath.

The problem is that the show sort of seems to have intended for the characters, and thus the show, be a smart, thinky series. As it is it's just a standard low quality sitcom.

[Amidus Drexel]

All you people and sleeping through alarms... *shakes head*

It's not like I have any room to talk. I set my alarm an hour before I want to get up so I actually get up on time. (Read: I hit the snooze button every few minutes for about an hour, every day)

True, although I woke up this morning to above-zero temperatures, and (I'm assuming) it'll get warmer later on.

The ground here, I'm pretty sure anyway, isn't perpetually cold... I'd imagine a fair amount of the water can drain away without any trouble.

[Gnomish Wanderer]

Thank you for the advice, everyone. I will attempt to jump in headfirst, then.


Also Sheldon is a terrible character and that show is a terrible show.*GASP!*


And, having recently seen some of it, I'll agree with the first, and withhold my opinion on the second until I have seen more.*DOUBLEGASP!*
I don't get how you don't like Sheldon. He's my favorite character. I have been described as 'a female Sheldon Cooper with a tiny bit of Leonard mixed in* before Ms. Amy Farrah Fowler showed up, and then afterward once Ms. 'all-of-a-sudden-sexual' Amy Farrah Fowler appeared!

I may also be an incorrigible twit in real life, but that is totally debatable.

The problem is that the show sort of seems to have intended for the characters, and thus the show, be a smart, thinky series. As it is it's just a standard low quality sitcom.I suppose it's what you determine as 'low-quality'. I thought it was quite good quality, with enough nerd humor for actual nerds to pick up and then a good amount of 'nerd-expo' humor to let the general populace into some of the higher thinking jokes that they wouldn't otherwise get. Of course, I haven't seen like the last two seasons, since before Howard got married, so maybe it degenerated? Beforehand it's been quite a fine show.

[Thajocoth]

On the topic of Twilight: I see it bashed a lot online, and honestly, those movies were not the worst thing I have ever seen in my life, like the internet would have me believe. They're certainly not the best thing ever either... They're just, average, really. I don't see the problem with there being average movies that are popular. Just look at Adam Sandler... He's somehow popular despite the majority of his work being absolutely terrible.

Really, it seems that some things are bashed online just because it's popular to bash them.

-----

On the topic of Cupcakes: I saw it posted on another site once... Might've been it's first posting, as it was on a site it belonged on & not being used to troll. People who might've genuinely enjoyed it go there. I saw the tags & didn't bother reading it because I skip over all the fanfics that wind up there, reading the more original stuff. (This is mostly because fanfics tend to assume too much familiarity with things I'm unfamiliar with.) Also, cupcakes seem to be an odd thing to make out of meat... (Granted, that's an assumption made from the title & tags.)

Really, I don't watch ANY television shows. I even canceled cable because I was just not using it.

-----

On the topic of the gas leak: I'm glad you got that taken care of. Poor squirrels though... But on some level, now you gotta wonder if burying a nut is responsible for the leak. That really does suck for them though.

On the topic of sleeping through alarms: I've been doing much better, only sleeping through the first 2-4 alarms, rather than, like, all of them.

I don't get how you don't like Sheldon. He's my favorite character. I have been described as 'a female Sheldon Cooper with a tiny bit of Leonard mixed in* before Ms. Amy Farrah Fowler showed up, and then afterward once Ms. 'all-of-a-sudden-sexual' Amy Farrah Fowler appeared!

Of course, I haven't seen like the last two seasons, since before Howard got married, so maybe it degenerated? Beforehand it's been quite a fine show.

Well, my main problem with Sheldon is two fold.

1: Why are they still his friends? He treats them like less then dirt, and the FEW times he actually seems genuinely nice, he's either doing it for the wrong reasons or getting something out of it. Yes, he's saved their life. Once. Their comes a point where "I saved you from death" runs thin.

2: The fact that people see him as a good role model for autistic characters. This makes me want to vomit.

The show, in my opinion atleast, was always pretty poor in quality, but yes, the quality HAS been dropping as the seasons go (which tends to be the case, of course).

[Teddy]

Also, cupcakes seem to be an odd thing to make out of meat... (Granted, that's an assumption made from the title & tags.)

Is it a coughing based illness? If so I heavily advise against smoking at the moment. Not unless you want to be practically choking on ciggie smoke.


edit 2.0: Also, salve CirrataKitPuella! Though if Google Translate is to be believed, there is a Latin word for "kit", so perhaps you are CirrataLoculaPuella? I will need to consult one of several big books o' Latin back at the seminary.

Salve! It might be best to consult the dictionary as loculum (which might be a plural?) is 'bier'.
Also, given the recent beef debacle I'm lead to wonder: are you really prime dragon. For all we know, you might be lizard! I demand testing! :smalltongue:


Doesn't understand... online advertising? :smallconfused:

Um... I don't have anything on hand for you to hit her with. Sorry. :smallamused:

She understands there are adverts on the internet. She understands that you can block them. She doesn't understand options like 'let sites you like and trust enjoy the money they earn from advertising', bidding for ad space and that sort of thing.


If she's got problems with Discworld or Dr. Who, of all things, then let her faint.

Will do! While there are probably scary/offensive things in those two series I can't think of anything . . . wrong about them.
At least, when I say that I say that your stereotypical fantasy/sci-fi/nerdery hater cliches don't apply to her. As far as I know.
Maybe a Doctor Who killed her brother by landing a TADRIS on his head a something? :smallconfused:


Ah, but I don't have a vow of poverty. I'm diocesan; it's one of the benefits! As for writing speeches, have some Cicero (http://www.amazon.com/Cicero-Classical-Library-English-Edition/dp/0674993837/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pdT1_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=11P5PCQKWLD21&coliid=I2EMMHJDN3D38J).

I bought Little Sister a volume of Cicero's speeches for Christmas. Why? Because she's currently studying Cicero in college (Classical Civ) and every time she has that lesson she comes home raving about how awesome Cicero was.
And yet that book has been untouched since it was shelved.


Why are you letting her? :smallconfused:

Well, let's just say that things happened that lead to me moving in with others. Primarily, my actual friend has been posted away (been talking way to much with the military), but due to his housing contract he still has to pay, so when he found out about my . . . problem . . . he let me move into his spot. I pay him two-thirds of what he actually pays for rent, and everyone's happy.
Connie is one of two other people in the house, and I've been here for less than half a week. I'd like to wait a week before I openly rock the boat.


If it'd be that devastating to her psyche, I vote do it. Who knows, you may even change her life for the not-horrible.

This I may do however. And doesn't it say something about myself that the first things I take with me are my laptop, DVDs, and a few books before cramming the rest of the suitcase with clothes and whatnots?


It's the only ad on here that caught my eye, but that was just because it seems very out of place on this website. I get the gist of what it's advertising and I don't think it's supposed to be there but I'm not sure.

I think that's why everyone noticed it. When I did I went to report it and saw some half a dozen post had been made about that advert within a space of two minutes, shortly followed by Roland St. Jude asking people not to post any more reports about it.


All comics are awesome in my book, though I got called a nerd for having to explain a computer virus related XCKD venn diagram after finding it vaguely funny.

It's a side-effect of being awesome enough to like what you like regardless of people's opinions. Or something. Everyone's a nerd about something, I consider it an acknowledgement of likemindedness.


Your post implies you're over 20. That sort of statement doesn't really apply anymore. :smallconfused:

That's the point. She trying to Mary Whitehouse my entertainment.


You mean Medieval history?

Well, mostly the literature, but I mix history and religion into it quite often as well.
Speaking of:
DP!: I may be studying a whole unit on canon law! Isn't that awesome?! And I recently took delivery of an entire book that's all about medieval hagiography and its impact on romance!


Anyway... News from my life... On Tuesday, we find a four or five foot long snakeskin in the eaves at the bottom of the back stairs. Apparently, we have a carpet snake slithering around somewhere. Which is good, as it will keep down the vermin.
It also solves another mystery; one of our cats was terrified of going out the back door, so she must have smelled it hanging around.

. . . It's a snake. Snakes in the house? Bad thing. Really bad thing!


Is that what the Kit in CKG's name means? I've been wondering about that for years. Right then, it is CirrataCattulaPuella.

I've explained it three or four times though. Mostly when you were away though.


What else could it mean? She has a kajillion avatars with cats in them!
Either that, or it's short for Catherine.

I have a maternal aunt called Katherine, a paternal aunt called Kathleen, a maternal cousin called Katie (officially a diminutive of Catherine) and a Catherine married one of my maternal uncles.
Also one of my male friends growing up was called Kit.
The Kit in my name is mostly definitely not short for C/Katherine.
Kinda. >.>


I don't know. It's just that it's the same word as "cat" but with one vowel switched. It doesn't seem like much of a diminutive to me. The question is, where is Cirrata, and when can she answer this myster for us?

Your timestamp for that post was quarter to seven in the morning GMT. I was in bed. Asleep. Listening to Old Spanish songs.
That said, it is about that time that I have to explain my user name again.



It's simple. It's a shortening of a diminutive.
For example: Cat - kitten - kitty cat - kitty - kit.

. . .

And all the people who've made it to a UK meetup are laughing - or at least smirking.

Actually I despise people using 'kitty' or 'kitty cat' when talking about cats.


I don't understand how you people do it!

Which is to say, I want to participate in these kinds of threads, but I cannot. The subject matter is often personal and conversation can continue throughout multiple v posts; try as I might I still feel as though I am interrupting or not adding meaningful output to the discussions at hand. It's... moderately frustrating.

Everyone feels the same way. Just jump straight into it, people will (hopefully) respond to your posts and then a conversation starts. Or a tangential conversation.


I think you should find out, and let us know the results.

I'm certainly intrigued I have to admit.


It's very emphatically not that second one.

Indeed.
Welp. I've teased people enough.
The Origins of CurlyKitGirl

I was sixteen, and hadn't ever done anything like this before, so my reasoning was very simple.
Curly - my hair is rather prone to curliness.
Girl - I am a girl.
CurlyGirl not feeling right I needed a middle name.
Kit - reference to my real name (and I do like cats, and at the time I was doting on several not-mine kittens.
CurlyKitGirl.
And very quickly it was CKG, Curly, and all the other nicknames.
And my real name? Kitty. Very technically a diminutive of C/Katherine, but Kitty is on my birth certificate so it's not a diminutive.


If you have nothing to say on the current subject(s), you can just talk about your own stuff. I mean, Curly has pretty much treated the RB thread as her own personal blog a fair few times. As have I on occasion. The only real way to get into RB is to dive straight in head first and go for it. Then, before you know it, you'll be a regular, and then after a while more, almost everyone you're used to talking to will have vanished and you'll gradually drift away.
Unless you're one of the ones who vanishes first. That could also be a thing, but I can't speak of it from personal experience.

Fool!
RB is my personal blog. You should feel grateful that I permit peons such as yourself to post here! :smalltongue:
But yeah, I do tend towards treating RB as a personal blog at times because I fail at actually keeping blogs, and sometimes I just need to rant/talk, and other times I get into really long discussions (DP, we're all looking at you) that lead to me treating RB as a personal blog.

And it's so very disheartening to stop, look around and realise just how many of your friends no longer post in RB/the Playground any more.
I try not to think about it too much because it leads to Great Old Ones being summoned. And sadness.

[Thajocoth]

Well, that's kind of the point, and I might add that it's not just meat, but the meat of your friend(s).Well, clearly. That's why it was posted on the site I noticed it on. That sort of thing doesn't squick everyone.


Fun anectode: Little brother the brony went to a meetup some year ago. They had cupcakes with bits of some unidentifiable strange content which they managed to identify as horse meat. :smallamused: Intentional, of course.

That is amusing, but makes me doubt that the cupcakes tasted any kind of decent.

I don't get how you don't like Sheldon. He's my favorite character. I have been described as 'a female Sheldon Cooper with a tiny bit of Leonard mixed in* before Ms. Amy Farrah Fowler showed up, and then afterward once Ms. 'all-of-a-sudden-sexual' Amy Farrah Fowler appeared!

I may also be an incorrigible twit in real life, but that is totally debatable.


He doesn't seem like a functioning person... He does incredibly idiotic stuff, for someone that's supposed to be intelligent; things that nearly everyone in the show thinks is stupid. I can write a lot of that off to it being a sitcom (expecting stellar realism from a silly tv show is... petty), but most of the things I've seen him do make me want to smack him, not laugh. It'd be better if he was supposed to be a complete idiot, but that's not the impression I got.

I know one person that's even remotely like Sheldon in that regard, and he's annoying as hell.

Aren't we all? :smalltongue: :smallamused:



I suppose it's what you determine as 'low-quality'. I thought it was quite good quality, with enough nerd humor for actual nerds to pick up and then a good amount of 'nerd-expo' humor to let the general populace into some of the higher thinking jokes that they wouldn't otherwise get. Of course, I haven't seen like the last two seasons, since before Howard got married, so maybe it degenerated? Beforehand it's been quite a fine show.

And I might have been a little bit harsh. I haven't really seen enough of it to get an opinion of the show itself... I might watch some stuff from the earlier seasons, if I can get my hands on them. (I'll have to ask my old chemistry instructor; I know she has them)



Really, it seems that some things are bashed online just because it's popular to bash them.

On the topic of sleeping through alarms: I've been doing much better, only sleeping through the first 2-4 alarms, rather than, like, all of them.

*nods* Sounds about right.

I remember you having a problem with that a while ago... Glad you got that sorted out.


I'm sad: work scheduled me for the only times my group could meet to play D & D this week, so we had to reschedule until next week. Unfortunately one of my players is going to Florida next week. :smallsigh: Play on? But we're at a crucial point...:smallfrown:

Oh, the wonderful feeling of having a D&D group, and no time with which to actually play the game. My group can't all get together at any reasonable time either; we've had seven sessions (this campaign) in three or four months (I just double-checked) since the beginning of September. :smallannoyed:


Oh noes! Time zone differences lead to Curly!quotestorms! Flee for your life!:

She understands there are adverts on the internet. She understands that you can block them. She doesn't understand options like 'let sites you like and trust enjoy the money they earn from advertising', bidding for ad space and that sort of thing.

Oh, no! Actually, I think I've ended up doing pretty much the same thing... :smallamused:

Well, that's not nearly as bad as you made it sound.


Will do! While there are probably scary/offensive things in those two series I can't think of anything . . . wrong about them.
At least, when I say that I say that your stereotypical fantasy/sci-fi/nerdery hater cliches don't apply to her. As far as I know.
Maybe a Doctor Who killed her brother by landing a TADRIS on his head a something? :smallconfused:


Vashta Nerada? The otherworldly evil things from The Light Fantastic?

I try not to think too much about what other people consider wrong; but then again, I don't normally think too much about how few things I consider wrong, so...



That's the point. She trying to Mary Whitehouse my entertainment.


You've reminded me of a song now...

[LaZodiac]

Well, that's kind of the point, and I might add that it's not just meat, but the meat of your friend(s).

Fun anectode: Little brother the brony went to a meetup some year ago. They had cupcakes with bits of some unidentifiable strange content which they managed to identify as horse meat. :smallamused: Intentional, of course.

This I may do however. And doesn't it say something about myself that the first things I take with me are my laptop, DVDs, and a few books before cramming the rest of the suitcase with clothes and whatnots?

I for one am shocked and dismayed.
Only a few books? Really?
:smalltongue:


DP!: I may be studying a whole unit on canon law! Isn't that awesome?! And I recently took delivery of an entire book that's all about medieval hagiography and its impact on romance!

The actual content of this is not of specific interest to me, but you're studying again?


Fool!
RB is my personal blog. You should feel grateful that I permit peons such as yourself to post here! :smalltongue:

:smile: I've missed you.


And it's so very disheartening to stop, look around and realise just how many of your friends no longer post in RB/the Playground any more.
I try not to think about it too much because it leads to Great Old Ones being summoned. And sadness.

I know. I can't help thinking about it though, because I'm the one who's still here. And I barely post in RB except when you're around.
Though, it's not like it's a case of you being the only one I talk to. Just as soon as you turn up again I can be bothered to read everyone else's posts and respond to them as well. You're a catalyst for me being sociable with other people as well as yourself.

Edit @^: Me too. All my activities are evening ones.

[LaZodiac]

Apparently!

[DraPrime]

Is it a coughing based illness? If so I heavily advise against smoking at the moment. Not unless you want to be practically choking on ciggie smoke.

Nah, it's more of a sore throat and runny nose. Besides, it wouldn't be ciggie smoke, it'd be pipie smoke. Though I suppose that wouldn't actually be much better.


Salve! It might be best to consult the dictionary as loculum (which might be a plural?) is 'bier'.
Also, given the recent beef debacle I'm lead to wonder: are you really prime dragon. For all we know, you might be lizard! I demand testing! :smalltongue:

Oh you Europeans and your meat scandals. Though I must say, at least the issue is over what kind of meat is used. It's still all edible. In Poland I think they recently had a scandal over the fact that kielbasa makers were using road salt. I shall never look at my people's favorite meat tube the same way ever again.

Also, a dragon is really a huge lizard. I'm fine. I don't even know if the "prime" refers to meat quality. Qwaz had a nice theory about how it means that I'm the "Optimus Prime of dragons."


I bought Little Sister a volume of Cicero's speeches for Christmas. Why? Because she's currently studying Cicero in college (Classical Civ) and every time she has that lesson she comes home raving about how awesome Cicero was.
And yet that book has been untouched since it was shelved.

Your little sister likes reading Cicero?

*hiss* :smallmad:

I presume she's been blessed to have only read Cicero in English. His Latin...it's nightmarish. Every time my professor assigns us some Cicero for translation I weep on the inside. The word order...it's just so maddening. Latin has no proper word order, just common ways of arranging sentences (usually subject-object-verb). Cicero proceeds to completely disregard all of this so that he can make his Latin all fancy and pretty. It's horrifying to read. The man successfully made a sentence that lasts OVER A PAGE, and because of the way he structures it you can't begin translating until you have read the very last word, because it's the verb that explains it all. Only then can you go back and begin translating. It's madness I tell you.

Also, kudos to your sister for becoming a classicist. It's the best way to go. :smallamused:

As an aside, did you know that Cicero wanted an epic poem written about his life? No poet wanted to do it though, so Cicero wrote one himself, which was a bad move since he was a master of prose, not of poetry. It was apparently so bad that we only have fragments of it. All the medieval monks saw that crap and though "Nope, not worth copying."

Speaking of medieval monks copying things, here's a manuscript that a medieval cat ran over (http://wdtprs.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/13_03_07_cats_prints1.jpg). Adorable, no?


I've explained it three or four times though. Mostly when you were away though.

Your timestamp for that post was quarter to seven in the morning GMT. I was in bed. Asleep. Listening to Old Spanish songs.
That said, it is about that time that I have to explain my user name again.

Ah, well that explains it. Also, Old Spanish, as in an antiquated form of the Spanish language?


DP!: I may be studying a whole unit on canon law! Isn't that awesome?! And I recently took delivery of an entire book that's all about medieval hagiography and its impact on romance!

You're studying canon law? :smalleek:

I'm so sorry. Canon law can be dreadful. There's a good reason why most seminarians look heavenward for protection from the dreaded assignment of diocesan canon lawyer. It is a fate worse than death. *shudders*

Though I suppose if you do it for only one semester it's not so bad. My question is, which code are you studying? The 1917 code or the 1983? Or are your perhaps studying the older canons that were promulgated by various councils and synods, but never put into one comprehensive Church-wide code? The actual Code of Canon Law seems to be too recent to be part of your area of expertise.

Also...wait...you're studying again? Last we discussed such things you told me you had finished Oxford. What's happening now? Clearly I missed some news at some point. :smallconfused:

[Kneenibble]

Reading Cicero is a pain I know only too well. And yet his style is so exquisite. I yearn for the level of proficiency where I can read those endless sentences fluently without needing to check for the verb first.

I will admit, the man does have style. His little bit on why he didn't dislike being old was quite nice. However, his Cataline orations will forever be hated by me, since they were my first experience with him. The fact that the first sentence had me totally baffled until I read "ex igne et ferro eripui" waaaaaaaaaaaaay over at the end of the sentence did not make me happy.

[DraPrime]

....nooo idea what that means. I think ferro is iron, igne might be fire, but I could also be talking out my arse.

It roughly means "I have snatched from fire and sword." Cicero says something like "People of Rome, your freedom, happiness, well being, blah blah blah blah blah blah extremely long sentence blah blah blah blah blah other things on the list that Romans value blah blah blah blah blah blah I have snatched away from fire and sword!" I'm paraphrasing of course.

Ferrum means sword only tropically, you silly boob. Its primary meaning is iron.

I like iron as a translation for the ex igne et ferro phrase, anyways -- that way both words are elemental forces, and "fire and iron" has a nicer poetic value

Not really. He chose the metaphorical word for a reason -- I like that it sets up violence by weapons as a chaotic and elemental force like fire.

To translate effectively you can't just look for 1:1 correlation to English words -- you have to read the Latin itself in all its richness.

Gold is only really useful for artwork and conducting electricity, and silver's better for that. :smalltongue:

Also, the best metal is Tungsten. Very stong, and as dense as gold. It's used in all sorts of things.

Could chrome or tungsten provide such a cool looking crown for the Holy Roman Emperor? I think not!

[Amidus Drexel]

Fancy crown

I'd say definitely yes for chrome, and tentatively yes for tungsten. I'm not as big of a fan of the colour gold has, even if the crown is fancy. They could have at least used silver or something. :smallsigh: :smallamused:

Anyway, tungsten's more often used in rings and watches, as far as jewelry goes.

I've longed to see your pen art since last autumn. And it's so simple and cute. :3


Now I just need a system of deciding whether to use "..." or "." to end my sentences... :smallamused:

According to my system, "..." should never be used in the middle of a paragraph unless absolutely neccessary for the delivery. It can, however, be freely used to end one off in order to denote an open end and that there is more which can be said on the topic, or that there's a pause for silent reflection before I move on to the next paragraph. In fact, I think, a vast majority of the time, I only use it in the second sense...


...Oh man, you had a gaming night? I didn't know that!

It's not like I haven't retold anecdotes from it on a monthly basis ever since I became a banterist...

First of all, you could totally do that without using gold. It'd be better without gold since then it wouldn't be soft and easy to destroy, thus serving as a symbol.

Secondly, holy crap that's fancy. I take it the Roman's didn't go for the practicality of a design, then?

I'd like to point out the the Holy Roman Empire was neither "Holy", "Roman", or really an "Empire." The Prussians (and other assorted Germanic states) did have some fancy stuff, though.

Your Drexcellency, I had this conversation with Elemental quite a while ago. I think it likely that most people have not ever beheld a piece of unalloyed gold. Pure 24k gold has a most powerful saturated hue not to be understood through words or images.

I, I who lust after precious things like a grubby common dwarf, did not even know this thing until a disgustingly rich man in India showed me some pieces from his treasure vault.

Alloyed gold, which far more people have beheld, is a little more humble in its appearance: even your 18k gold is dull and diluted in comparison. I pray you reconsider your despite.

I tend to use it in the middle of paragraphs, when the sentence would trail off. (as if I was speaking). Or when (again, as if I was speaking), there would be a confused jumble of words before something coherent was produced. I use it, I suppose, in both senses, then.

Now I just need to decide other ways to indicate pausing while I type... All of these commas are making my sentences a horrible mess of punctuation and grammar mistakes.

I don't despise gold; I just prefer a whitish colour for metals. For everything, really. I like the colour white, for whatever reason.

Silvery metals are much more aesthetically pleasing to me, although, should I ever come across pure, unalloyed gold, I'd be glad to reconsider.

Plus, gold doesn't go nearly as well with Alexandrite.

Nope. "Aww" sounds abrupt and stupid (and also like you've hurt yourself), and "D'aww" earns double stupid points by containing an apostrophe.

And ok, though I think "Dawww" sounds better. Nawww, even with the emphasis, sorta sounds like either a solemn disagreement, or "I'mma slowly nibble on you" like saying "nom nom nom".

However, it's still quite interesting and a cool little insight, and I can definitly see where you are coming from with it, and the addition of :smallredface: helps.

Yes. It means "heavy stone" (or rather, "heavystone").

Well, since it's my system, I wouldn't expect your system to fit into it all too well. Everyone uses it in their own way. After all, I've seen cases with people who finish off every sentence with "..." (I think it was the Let's Play with the original Urist, but I'm not sure).

My girl found a rabbi who'll do interfaith marriages (I'm Apathetic Agnostic, she's Jewish). We're going to get legally married on March 22nd 2013 (& haven't told our families). We're going to have another ceremony that we invite family & friends to in 2014, in a huge tree that's been hollowed out by fire (naturally, not by humans) but is still growing. As far as they know, that will be the legal marriage as well, even though it won't be.

Ah, but I think gold is actually a very fitting symbol. It is beautiful and splendorous, as was the Holy Roman Empire in spite of its many many many flaws, but as you pointed out, it's soft and easily damaged. It speaks to the fragility of authority and power. Gold works quite well for that symbolism I think. I have no idea if the Holy Roman Emperor had that in mind when he commissioned it, but it's a nice way that gold could be used.


DP or Curly probably could tell you more about it; history is only a passing interest for me, and I only remember the little bits of trivia my brain clings onto. :smallamused:

I can do a little. The Holy Roman Empire technically was formed under the reign of the Frankish king Charlemagne when Pope Leo III crowned him Emperor of the Romans. Technically this was not inaccurate, since Charlemagne had conquered Rome, and was an emperor of sorts. The Carolingian Empire eventually split into two halves, much like the original Roman Empire. The western half was in modern day France, and the eastern in modern day Germany. One of the rulers of the eastern Franks, Otto I, was crowned Emperor by the Pope, and thus the Holy Roman Empire was formed. Otto I is the one responsible for that incredibly pimp crown.

Also, Charlemagne spawned an ancestral line that would one day give birth to Christopher Lee, which is perhaps his greatest contribution to human history.

[Teddy]

No ninja this time!

See, I even managed to get ninja'd with a post establishing that I didn't ninja you. :smallamused:


Well you don't have to use an apostrophe. And what's wrong with em anyway?

They imply that you eat away the portion of the word that makes it pronouncable, so instead, you get a hard, sort of explosive pronounciation which definitely doesn't fit for an onomatopoeia for adore. Also, apostrophes are overused in the most stupid circumstances. They're sort of like the Comic Sans of spelling...


And ok, though I think "Dawww" sounds better. Nawww, even with the emphasis, sorta sounds like either a solemn disagreement, or "I'mma slowly nibble on you" like saying "nom nom nom".

'D' is a hard consonand, sort of like the strike of a drum, and it fits too badly in context. 'N', on the other hand, is soft, and gives the whole word a very soft, rounded opening, a perfect sense of care.

Ah, but pure gold, though soft, never tarnishes or “rusts.” It stays shiny and pure forever without polishing. This is also part of its appeal.

Calcium is a metal, but only technically speaking. I was being cheeky. :smalltongue:




I don't despise gold; I just prefer a whitish colour for metals. For everything, really. I like the colour white, for whatever reason.

Silvery metals are much more aesthetically pleasing to me, although, should I ever come across pure, unalloyed gold, I'd be glad to reconsider.

Plus, gold doesn't go nearly as well with Alexandrite.

Is that your favourite gem? It is more suited to a white metal, I agree.

I shall give you a ring of burnished sterling silver with a round white opal that flashes green and blue. When you stare into it you shall see into worlds that never came to be, and draw their unknown joys and anguishes into your music like inflammable brandy into a cake.

My girl found a rabbi who'll do interfaith marriages (I'm Apathetic Agnostic, she's Jewish). We're going to get legally married on March 22nd 2013 (& haven't told our families). We're going to have another ceremony that we invite family & friends to in 2014, in a huge tree that's been hollowed out by fire (naturally, not by humans) but is still growing. As far as they know, that will be the legal marriage as well, even though it won't be.

I will also be having surgery on April 5th 2013 & will never have to worry about having kids, which is pretty awesome for us.

Congratulations!

And... That's reversible surgery? Unless you're massively opposed to the idea, there's always the chance you'll change your mind.

[Thajocoth]

Congratulations!

And... That's reversible surgery? Unless you're massively opposed to the idea, there's always the chance you'll change your mind.

Technically, there's a 50% chance it could be reversed... Not that I would EVER want to reverse it.

Trigger warning: anti-children
My girl & I agree that children are annoying loud sacks of poop & snot that break things and cost a lot of money & time that we'd much rather use elsewhere.

Sure, I COULD do a great job raising a child... My mom is actually a somewhat influential figure in the childcare industry and I have learned much from her while living in the house that had the daycare she ran. Also, psychology is an interest of mine & I've learned a lot about developmental psych. I just REALLY don't want to. I'll apply some of this knowledge to my relationship instead.

Besides, her bipolar meds would deform any potential fetus's limbs. It would be cruel to knowingly do that to a potential someone.

...And there are other reasons I won't even get into, but all the above on it's own is enough to be absolutely irrevocably certain.

[Amidus Drexel]

Well, since it's my system, I wouldn't expect your system to fit into it all too well. Everyone uses it in their own way. After all, I've seen cases with people who finish off every sentence with "..." (I think it was the Let's Play with the original Urist, but I'm not sure).

Yeah, not going to happen. Every time I've submit a post, I have to go back five posts just to find all posts I need to respond to that were posted before I managed to finished mine.

Then again, I'm not a man of lies or exaggerations, so shouldn't my original post be seen as confirmation in the first case? It's not like I could typo that whole sentence together, is it. :smallwink:

What? There isn't one unifying system for putting speech patterns into type? Preposterous!

Something makes me feel like there ought to be, anyway. Maybe I'll write me one... Hell, I'm not doing anything today.

You have just described my posting process, sir. :smallamused:

I have learned never to doubt the limits of what other people are capable of doing. This applies to the upper and lower limits. :smallamused:

[Kneenibble]

Ah, but I think gold is actually a very fitting symbol. It is beautiful and splendorous, as was the Holy Roman Empire in spite of its many many many flaws, but as you pointed out, it's soft and easily damaged. It speaks to the fragility of authority and power. Gold works quite well for that symbolism I think. I have no idea if the Holy Roman Emperor had that in mind when he commissioned it, but it's a nice way that gold could be used.

I like this reading of gold, too.

Your bit on the Holy Roman Empire is very interesting, thank you -- I don't know nearly as much about Late Antiquity as I would like, even though it is perhaps my favourite period, aesthetically.



They imply that you eat away the portion of the word that makes it pronouncable, so instead, you get a hard, sort of explosive pronounciation which definitely doesn't fit for an onomatopoeia for adore. Also, apostrophes are overused in the most stupid circumstances. They're sort of like the Comic Sans of spelling...

'D' is a hard conson and, sort of like the strike of a drum, and it fits too badly in context. 'N', on the other hand, is soft, and gives the whole word a very soft, rounded opening, a perfect sense of care.

I enjoy your poetic sensibilities about these things.

It is! I've got a ring with an alexandrite stone somewhere... I think it's my class ring, actually. I don't wear it often (it's a bit large for my fingers; damn nobby bits of cartilage that are the joints on my hands), but it's pretty. The stone is far cooler when you can watch it change from a light violet colour to a light jade.

So then, today I almost set a child on fire. *sigh* Sometimes I wish things could actually get boring at my school...

Here's the story: I tend to volunteer a lot to get hours so I can go back to my school, which is a school of choice. Today there was some kind of sports convention, don't know or really care what it was about, so I decided to do the only non-sports related job, face painting.

Despite being only ten or twenty degrees above freezing, the sun was blazing today, super bright. I had this big, powerful silver mirror, the kind attached to walls in hotel bathrooms. However I wasn't using it, except to show the kids the final result. After a few hours, the mirror somehow got in the perfect angle to direct sunlight at one kid's jacket... Long story short, I smelled smoke, looked around crazily, and saw smoke coming from the child's jacket. Thankfully it didn't catch on fire, the worst that happened was a small brown spot and a smell.

The moral of the story, don't trust me with mirrors. But I have to say, look out Archimedes!

By the way, getting hit on the head by a good 12 hardcover trade-size fantasy books kinda hurts.

Why is it by the by, that Fridays always seem like 'Urgh it's the last day of work for the week' *drags feet, grumbling about the house before work* even though I usually run the market stall on Saturday that involves me getting up at 5 in the morning? I work six days a week and I still have this attitude, it's very odd... Oh well, when I get there my brain remembers that it's fine, because I like my job. lol :smallbiggrin:

Oops. Then again, I remember using a magnifying glass to harass ants, so I can't talk!

Your Drexcellency, I had this conversation with Elemental quite a while ago. I think it likely that most people have not ever beheld a piece of unalloyed gold. Pure 24k gold has a most powerful saturated hue not to be understood through words or images.

I, I who lust after precious things like a grubby common dwarf, did not even know this thing until a disgustingly rich man in India showed me some pieces from his treasure vault.

Alloyed gold, which far more people have beheld, is a little more humble in its appearance: even your 18k gold is dull and diluted in comparison. I pray you reconsider your despite.The inkling to spend funds on such a luxury to be able to witness what you describe is probably going to be my ruin.

Of the metals I find amongst the oddities the one most beautiful; with pure Osmium's dark blue being absolutely hypnotic. There is also something to say of it having the most amount of itself on the least possible space amongst the pure elements.

I can't help but feel perpetually amused by the fact that everyone uses a Swedish name for it, except we Swedes. :smallamused:Spanish speaking countries use the the name Wolframio for it; partially because Spain insistence on it being the official name over Tungsten. Wolframium is then the official name to all English curricula ran on Spanish speaking countries.

At least you only ALMOST set them on fire...

When I was younger, a friend of mine & I decided to burn leaves. He was going to make a fireplace out of wood. I found a metal tub in the woods to use instead. It was shaped like a sink with no hole in the bottom. No rusting. Black with white speckles.

We used this many times for a while to burn leaves.

So, a friend of his comes over one time. Very loose jacket. He manages to get it caught on fire from the fire we made.

He freezes up, so I tell him to take it off. My friend goes inside to get water. Meanwhile I kick sand on the jacket until it's out. After a while, my friend comes back with a glass of water.

My friend's friend, who said he didn't like that jacket anyway; it was just a gift from his aunt; was no longer allowed to visit my friend. This was also the last time we burned anything.

[LaZodiac]

Yes. It means "heavy stone" (or rather, "heavystone").


Cool, I like hearing about the meaning of words in foreign languages.

I will also be having surgery on April 5th 2013 & will never have to worry about having kids, which is pretty awesome for us.

Yay! Why do you need to find such a rare thing to initiat a legal contract? Why is religion even involved in marriage when it is, again, a legal contract?

Just curious. That sounds like a cool place to get married by the way. And good choice of birth control, I approve.

I agree, but am not against it, so whatever. We already went through a commitment ceremony that contained all the parts of marriage that are not a legal contract Dec 22nd 2011. (Collaring ceremony) I see this as simply adding the appropriate tax break & legal benefits to what we've already agreed to.

The tree thing will be a cool ceremony, I think, and is primarily to extend knowledge of our permanent union to the vanillas we know, as it is already known to the kinky people we know and will in a couple weeks be known to the government.

Also, thanks.

[Gnomish Wanderer]

I have always been a little aloof around jewelry and other shinies. My mother was allergic to gold and disliked silver, so seldom wore jewelry and kept less in the house, and somehow I never managed to catch an interest outwardly. I prefer my jewelry to be unobtrusive, almost unnoticeable. I do have a fondness for cloth/thread bracelets and anklets.

I am tired of being sick. The worst part is waking up, where I have to hydrate because my stuffy nose requires me to dry out my mouth, and take yucky medicine. I don't like taking medicine for some reason. I know it's good for me but I always feel like I don't need medicine and that it's superfluous? It's hard to describe, it's not for a dislike of the medicine itself but perhaps of an understanding that it is often a bandaid on a stab wound, superficial.

I'm 30 & know myself better than most people know themselves. I can be very certain. I also have several more reasons that I won't state, & if it really came down to it, adoption is better anyway. There are too many humans on this planet as it is.

I've never liked children. Even when I was one.

[Rain Dragon]

I bet it isn't as painful as getting punched in the jaw by a lamp.

I'm not competing for which is more painful, but I did rearrange the shelves because stubborn customers will try to get their own books down. If all those hardcover tradesized fantasy fell on someone's head and they didn't manage to put their hands in the way there is a high risk of concussion going on.

But at the same time, getting punched in the jaw by a lamp sounds both painful and disney-esque. I don't know why, but animated inanimate objects remind me of the disney movies my sister used to (and still does) love and adore as a child.

[DraPrime]

As my sickness progresses I am considering amputating the infected parts. It worked for gangrene patients; it can work for me. Now then, my throat is really sore. Does this mean I must slit my own throat? Or do just have to remove my neck?

Ah. That does sound pretty painful. And makes a lot more sense.

And as getting punched by a lamp, that was a bit embarrassing. You see, I have a lamp right behind my monitor, so I have to stand up to reach over to the switch. And the one time I wasn't paying attention, that was how it happened.

[Amidus Drexel]

A brief glimpse inside of my head:The... I... no, can't be doing that, now.
You are making this difficult, Amidus.
I want to, but I also don't want to...
That was my point.
Have we reached a consensus?
Fine. Talk to them. :smalltongue:

Well, I don't normally wear any, (unless you count cheap, almost broken sunglasses as jewelry) but I can see the appeal.
Were you going anywhere with that?
...shiny.
I'll take that as a no...

Taking over-the-counter medicine feels like... cheating, somehow. I leave the stuff alone, unless a doctor hands me a prescription.


As my sickness progresses I am considering amputating the infected parts. It worked for gangrene patients; it can work for me. Now then, my throat is really sore. Does this mean I must slit my own throat? Or do just have to remove my neck?

The trick is to remove the inside of your neck, while leaving the outside relatively unscathed. :smallwink:

The trick is to remove the inside of your neck, while leaving the outside relatively unscathed. :smallwink:

You must obviously use leeches not a blade, the pain is due to excess of blood on the throat.
Get well soon!

You two sound like sound medical advisors, particularly you araveugnitsuga, since you're studying medicine. Clearly the proper solution is to latch several leeches onto the inside of my throat, so as to remove the inside. This might be a slow process. Just imagine them in your throat, squirming, sucking, eating. Delightful, no?

Aren't most medicines ingested as pills nowadays with syrups being rather rare exceptions?Thank you for the well-wishes. And yes, medicine is often in pill form, but medicine is not yucky for the taste but yucky for the seeming needlessness of it. I understand my lamentations as illogical, seeing as lessening symptoms would just increase my quality of life in genera regardless of the actual effects, but I still have to be forced by my roommate or bf or occasionally my mother before I'll take anything not doctor-prescribed.

-snip, leeches-

Well, to be honest, I wouldn't mind. (note: I might accidentally swallow the leeches, though). The great thing about leeches is that they numb the area they're feeding on, so it would only be mildly uncomfortable, instead of painful.

**Addendum to (note): I do not advise putting leeches in your throat.

I'd suggest a hospital (unlikely) or a medical research center (likely), actually. They sometimes use leeches for blood-related treatments, because of something or other. I've forgotten, apparently.

Delightful, no?I'm afraid I did not become a disciple of the path of Hippocrates but rather one of the lineage of Loveage; mainly related to passing the academical qualifications with flying colours but failing the psychiatric ones rather badly.

Though the idea of leeches inside the throat is perhaps a medical breakthrough not seen since exanguination. I believe it would work; add a pint of homoeopathic solution to the leech so that the throat can remember through the leech the original properties dissolved in water.

Not actual medical advice even if that'd be the same as eating leeches which isn't directly lethal if slightly dangerous due to them being raw and not dead.

Indeed, but lets go deeper into Aristotelian causes. It's formal cause, the definition of pizza; the material cause, the parts constituting it as a pizza; the efficient cause, though I don't quite know what the efficient cause of a pizza is (hunger?); and the final cause, which is the satisfaction of hunger.

Or maybe Plato is right and this pizza happens to partake in the existence of an immaterial metaphysically perfect pizza.

March 22nd 2013 - I'm legally marrying her, which tells the government that we have a permanent union.

Summer 2014 - I'm having a ceremony involving family & friends, which tells everyone else that we have a permanent union. (Vanilla means not kinky; therefore everyone else.)

I have found Pizza Hut to vary. For example, the one near me mashes cheese sticks together in a bag in a sucky way that makes me not go there anymore, while all other Pizza Huts put them in a small box. The ones in Target are not as good, but an extra dipping sauce tends to be free.

Where I live there is also a surplus of those; starting with the fact that my house is very near qualifying for one considering one orders food; there is always available pasta and garlic bread and the kitchen is open 24/7.

Errrr....ummm...Hegel has always baffled me. I'm assuming this has something to do with Hegel's belief that everything is perpetually improving.His belief that an object most go through a tortuous process on which it negates it's very essence to then come upon a new state of stability improved.

He doesn't advocate perpetual improvement so much as how improvement comes through a process of denial of the self and reaching a higher state.

So in this version, all the dwarfs will start at level 3, equipped with rations, a pickaxe, and a dagger. Smaller, but more levels to explore. And I'll even add a shop and a bar where the players can buy drinks that can give them temporary boosts and extra experience points. And even more monsters, and new rocks to mine (mineral and gold deposits).

-A quick, experimental game , (a dungeon developing/war game) that I can update quickly.
