Taet's Acrostic: Everyone's Tuned into Random Banter #195

Yeah, that's RedHat. She's evil.
Oo! Is there a special history behind that name?

I believe you have confused the words "tall" and "short" :smalltongue:
But... But five feet is taller than a table!

WATCH FIREFLY. DO IT NAOW. IT'S ON NETFLIX.
IT WANTS MY CREDIT CARD INFORMATION. IT IS DANGEROUS.

Pigeons are like rats because I can't picture any place where you can't find pigeons or rats. I am counting mourning doves as a type of pigeon. According to the range maps in the field guide to the eastern U.S. pigeons or doves are everywhere in the summer. My western U.S. guide is too old to have maps.

And you are all silly, 25 C is where it starts to become warm enough! It was 70 F this morning and I was shivering. Silly summer body.

[Dimonite]

Heh. You people who can't adjust to temperatures are funny. I basically can do fine in any heat/cold.


Same. Comes of living in a place where neither 100 degree nor -30 degree weather is considered abnormal, depending on the season. (measurements in Fahrenheit, of course.)



With Mutant? That's a new one. A new, disgusting one.


How is that new? I'm reasonably certain that I have personally shipped you with Mutant AT LEAST once before. :smalltongue:



I WOOOOONT.


WON'T MISS IT OR WON'T GO ALONE; YOU KIND OF LEFT AN INDEFINITE ANTECEDENT DANGLING THERE.



And here it the halfway. http://i.imgur.com/cyjiXl.jpg

Aha! I knew it!



But... But five feet is taller than a table!


That is not the same thing as being tall.

It's not dangerous, it's a paid service. :smalltongue:

Hm. Isn't Red Hat still around?

ASDFGJHGFDFGHJKHGFDS
ASDFGJHGFDFGHJKHGFDS!!

IT IS GOOD.
IT IS EXPENSIVE.

That is not the same thing as being tall.
Bah. Your standards of height are too high.

It's not dangerous, it's a paid service. :smalltongue:
It... It wants to take my money!

[Dimonite]

I probably repressed it. :smallyuk:


So Moon Mutant, unlike BearCat, is NOT an approved ship? Just makes it that much more fun. :smalltongue:



I WONT MISS IT!


GOOD!



Bah. Your standards of height are too high.


Look, if I was going to say that five feet wasn't short, I wouldn't be able to make fun of my sister for being short. :smalltongue:




It... It wants to take my money!

Well, yes. In exchange for a service. This is how companies work. They have to get revenue from somewhere, you know.

[MoonCat]

Hm. Isn't Red Hat still around?

Yeah, an other of the three died, not she.

YES!

FINE! <sulks>

THAT IS BECAUSE MUTANT SHEEP IS ICKY AND BOYLIKE AND CANT SPELL.
AND HIS LATIN IS SUBPAR.

YES

[LaZodiac]

Heh. You people who can't adjust to temperatures are funny. I basically can do fine in any heat/cold.

Cobraaaaa?



Yes, my deficancies are silly!

Nope, not Cobra. He and all oof you are my online friends I hope to meet one day. This person is someone from work. At work currently, will explain later, when you come online.

[TaiLiu]

Oh, I see what this is about. :smalltongue:

Well, yes. In exchange for a service. This is how companies work. They have to get revenue from somewhere, you know.
Yes, they get their revenue from people who are not afraid to use money.

Yeah, an other of the three died, not she.
Oh. How old were they?

FINE! <sulks>
FINE! <stabs>

You know, if any of my female friends said this (in more in-person than online terms, of course) I would begin to suspect she had a crush on the person in question. Just sayin'. :smalltongue:

[Taet]

It got quiet. I think everyone is clearing the path between MoonCat and Dimonite who just said that. I think I am going to join them in hiding. :smalltongue:

Aha. BUT I SHALL NEVAR BE ONLINE! MWAHAHAHAHA.

The dead one? He died at age... nine? I think.

HIS PERSONALITY IS DECIDEDLY UNCHARMING.

I've had far worse implications attached to me and my nonexistent crushes, believe me.

[FinnLassie]

I'm not sure confusing would be the right word. Not telling information doesn't make you confusing, it just makes you uninformative. Confusing is when you tell the information in a way that makes people misinterpret it or just fail to interpret it. I suppose sounding like you tell information when you don't may qualify for being confusing, though...

But then again, I may have a non-standard view on what "confusing" actually entails...

Now try Knappnytt. :smallwink:

Note to self: Don't mention "scribbles" in vicinity of Finn. They seem to make her unhappy somehow...

Everything that makes you go "whut?" or "huh?" or "I'm confused" is confusing. I think at least one of those applies to you, aye?

Maybe when it's not 1am.

Hrmhmhmrhm. Hmph. :smallmad: Scribbles, scribbles...



The mental image of you furiously scribbling on Amididdd Kong's face with markers and lipsticks and a little bit of white-out. XD

Nappy kitties are good kitties, aye. We have one that always tries to crawl into our laps while we play our video games. She is good cat.


I don't wear lipstick. Nor any kind of make up unless it's a bigger occasion.

That sounds a bit scary!

See, this is my point. If you actually hated him, shipping you would be no fun at all - it would be like shipping you with Enderlord, which I would never ever under any circumstances ever do. So you don't hate him, and yet you abuse him and say jokingly mean things about him all the time. If this were IRL, you would probably punch his shoulder on a regular basis. That's how my ex acted around me all the time before she asked me out. :smalltongue:

[TaiLiu]

The dead one? He died at age... nine? I think.
Hm. That's a young age for cats, no?

Yeah, I do that with HistoryDoctorWhoSLightlyNicerThanBefore Intellectuall ******* too. Everyone ships us, it's very annoying.

At least the two Intellectual *******s have the common decency to ship me with someone who I at least sound like I admire and like.


Hm. That's a young age for cats, no?

It was a disease, but no, it's not incredibly early, just, he could have lived a bunch longer.

Well, to be fair, I ALSO ship you with Teddy and Zodi, who you do seem to admire and like. I guess shipping things based on a total lack of respect is just my bias from my limited personal experience - even if said experience also tells me that that kind of relationship would be doomed to go down in flames after a while.

Hmm. I like flames. Let me reconsider this. :smallamused:

[Dimonite]

Hmm. I like flames. Let me reconsider this. :smallamused:

And when it did eventually crash and burn, you would be considered his "old flame!" It works on many levels. :smalltongue:

Ah, I see.

Oh god, I don't think I could live with being connected to Mutant in everyone's minds like that. Forget it.


Ah, I see.

I GUESS THAT'S TRUE.

Yeah. It was sad.

Yeah. It was sad.
It certainly seems that way.

Nah, not scary, cuddly. she snugs into your lap and starts purring.

Are you scared of birds? :smallconfused:

That's less shipping and more acknowledging who she wants to throw onto the ground and snog. :smalltongue:


Indeed it is! And I kind of have a friend in real life now so I might get out more often!

What? And I only first hear of this here? :smalleek: I am le wounded! :smalltongue: Good, that makes me feel better about giving up on forcing you out into the world to socialize.

[Teddy]

Well, most of the time, I'm more like this.

*GitP, a long thread name and I*

(Note what is on the screen)

Hmm, I went to try and track this down from the timestamp, but failed. It has either been lying around in storage before you uploaded it, or it must come from a unique (so to speak) thread, neither RB, You!, the IC nor the OOC. Or, you're using a non-standard posts-per-page...


Okay, picture's been posted that's too blurry to contain anything actually important, commonsense analysis time.

You use a Mac
Near the last page
First post is Teddy's
It's longish - more than a few lines, at least
Teddy quoted something with no linebreaks
His first line ends with a smiley.


So either your posts-per-page is nonstandard, or that's not a recent pic. Those post-criteria haven't been fit this thread. How old is it? Alternately, how many posts do you have on a page?

According to the timestamp, it's from 16th December 2011, but that's the date of upload (because I doubt it has been modified since), so it may have floated around on local storage devices for even longer than that.


Heh. You people who can't adjust to temperatures are funny. I basically can do fine in any heat/cold.

Does being cold in any heat/cold count? On the positive side, I love heat, and I'm better at resisting cold mentaly than a lot less freezing people around me, so when it comes to tolerating temperatures, I'm the Übermench (unless water is involved. Stupid lousy lack of body fat not insulating me in fun and happy water)...


I've never seen a non=domesticated rat where I live.

Try any shadier areas around your town. I wouldn't consider this town unclean or downtrodden by any standards, but I've still seen rats in the scrapyard, which honestly is a bastion of culture and art...


Everything that makes you go "whut?" or "huh?" or "I'm confused" is confusing. I think at least one of those applies to you, aye?

Oh, definitely, but I never said that. I only observed that it's hard to avoid crossing the line when you don't know where the line is drawn. For all I know, the line could be behind me, and the only way which doesn't pass it is the way ahead. :smallwink: I'm not very prone to confusion, as you can probably tell.


Maybe when it's not 1am.

Didn't you go back home from Finland? How could it possibly be 1 in the morning for you? I mean, it's only 22 past it for me...

All this caps-locking is giving me a headache. Yes, I scream it all out in my head so hard that it gives me a headache, don't question it.

Mm.

Heh, that reminds me of what I'd do with the damn stupid questions in my science textbook this year. Regularly there would show up questions like "How did [science thing from project] [verb] [preposition] [another science thing from project]." It really annoyed me, so I always just wrote in as my answer "Adverbally." I never got graded down either.

YOU'RE WRONG.


Well, I suppose some girls just don't need it unless they've got to smaltz it up...

That's less shipping and more acknowledging who she wants to throw onto the ground and snog. :smalltongue:

Coid, no girl should feel that they need to put on make up.

I have absolutely no wish to throw either Teddy of LaLa on the ground and begin making out with them.

I've had it on the computer for a while, but I think I uploaded it the same day the picture was taken.

I am not sure whether I tolerate or adjust, but either way, I can deal with teh weatherz. And I swim in the Pacific and the North Seas, so I think I deal with cold water pretty well.

I think I'll pass on going around looking for rats. They're sweet, but it seems like too much effort to just disprove my own claim.

I just hear it in a more dramatic voice in my own head. Which is slightly louder.

[AsteriskAmp]

Hrm... This one reminds me of someone else, actually. Oddly enough, both of these people are only about 5ft tall. Heh, short people. :smallamused:Hey! 5ft is not short!

Sure, you qualify as a small creature in D&D but it's definitely NOT short.


You know what I call both pigeons and geese? Target practice. :smallcool:

ION: Finished finals and the semester; I celebrated this by sleeping after midday, cooking for myself, going to the equivalent of the highway to just cruise north and south at the speed limit and finally finishing about half of my musical to-dos.

And somehow kept a relatively decent average despite having daily sessions of D&D which escalated to playing while in lectures.

Also got myself a cellphone which isn't older than myself after years of being behind the tech gap.

Now... to learn PASCAL for no reason other than masochism.

[Qwertystop]

The Mac thing is just because at the time it was the only working laptop in the house (the others had broken) and I needed to use a laptop at the time.

The rest is accurate. I can't remember how old the pic is.

It's not so important, I was just posting to show MoonCat as a literal cat sitting on top of a computer reading the forum.

Yeah, but I want to see if I can track it down. So... timestamp doesn't match it to an RB by default. Do you have nonstandard posts-per-page?

[AsteriskAmp]

Got some bad news for you both, then.
I'm not short! I was just born to drive a Mini.

Yes, someone who agrees with me!!
Not tall but definitely not short people unite!

Oh, no! My logic is flawed!
That means you should totally go to the opposite end and publish your info everywhere!

No, no! I would never kill our beloved sheep.
Of course not, where else would we get the extra doses of randomness and of wool?

Ooh, are we shipping MoonCat? The correct options for partners are Blue Ghost, Teddy, and LaZodiac.

On other topics that happened, yes Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing will be amazing because it's Shakespeare, and it's Whedon.

@Pinkhair: Sorry I am not online, I thought this weeding job was next week!

[AsteriskAmp]

Oh, my.DMing with literally 0 prep time is one of the most fun experiences I've had as of yet, with such wonders as a colossal boiling milk elemental and the Zimboe, totally not my misreading of zombie and like 20 statblock in the process. NPCs misteriously named after physicists, mathematicians, programmers and chemists, totally not related to those being the last names I had heard of at moment of meeting.

Making the weirdest hybrid system with 2E skills, 4E combat, AD&D amounts of different weapon types and Nobillis rules for the deities.

And Nuclear Exploding an elemental to have a 5 layered tornado to save the party by making a fluid go supercritical made sense in context. Oh, and a player playing a character with no combat skills, and literally 1hp and surviving everything the Paragon and now Epic party did.

Oh and running a script that graphs Julia's set rather than the one that made random maps and the resulting campaign world being filled with spirals which led to more spirals.

Hooray!Banner and logo coming soon.

Genius! Unfortunately, I am unlikely to be willing to spend so much money.It's a lot easier after the first purchase.

@Pinkhair: Sorry I am not online, I thought this weeding job was next week!Why be sorry? I'm merely pointing that little fact out.

Hey! 5ft is not short!

You sound like a boy in my class in 7th grade. He may've been in 8th grade too, but I'm not sure. He left sometime after 7th and before 9th, but I can't remember exactly when...

Yeah, I've always considered over-warmth to be a worse condition. I mean, I can always put on more clothes to stay warm, the same generally doesn't apply in the opposite case.


Not sure if interpreting it as a critic against modern art or an actual serious statement about the art and culture bastion being the scrapyard.

The second. I don't think I've ever passed by when they haven't had one or another art project going. Mostly sculpturing, but they also tend to do live music performances and crane dancing at the Culture Night every year.

This is amazing! I love it. We need more Teddy art! Hmm, how could we get morr art from you...hmmmmm!

I AM THE MOST SUBTLE!

[TaiLiu]

DMing with literally 0 prep time is one of the most fun experiences I've had as of yet, with such wonders as a colossal boiling milk elemental and the Zimboe, totally not my misreading of zombie and like 20 statblock in the process. NPCs misteriously named after physicists, mathematicians, programmers and chemists, totally not related to those being the last names I had heard of at moment of meeting.

Making the weirdest hybrid system with 2E skills, 4E combat, AD&D amounts of different weapon types and Nobillis rules for the deities.

And Nuclear Exploding an elemental to have a 5 layered tornado to save the party by making a fluid go supercritical made sense in context. Oh, and a player playing a character with no combat skills, and literally 1hp and surviving everything the Paragon and now Epic party did.

Oh and running a script that graphs Julia's set rather than the one that made random maps and the resulting campaign world being filled with spirals which led to more spirals.
Well! That's quite the campaign!

Banner and logo coming soon.
Oo! I wait excitingly.

It's a lot easier after the first purchase.
Who would purchase the ramblings of a madperson?

Oh, my!

[MoonCat]

It sounds like the McGraw-Hill standard set of questions.

You obviously haven't met my middle sister.

Implying you want to do that with Sheep?! -le shocked-

I can't even remember the textbook. I'm working on erasing everything from that school year that involved school out of my head.

I'm saying she shouldn't feel that she has to, or that culture requires her to put on make up. I'm not saying she does feel that way, which is regrettable if she doesn't.

Oh, gods, no. I thought it would be granted I'd not want to.


I like your teachers.

NO I DISAGREE.

Makeup is overrated, anyway.

Well, it was just one class using that textbook, and I'm not sure whether it was because she thought it was clever or because she didn't read my answers.

Makeup isn't necessarily bad, it's just not something that should be considered a must-have-on. I wear some in small amounts on occasion. I like eyeliner because it gives me cats' eyes!

Also, the feeling of triumph at being able to put the damn stuff on without flinching anymore makes me more tempted to wear it. It's like a modern day equivalent of wearing the pelts of animals I defeated in decoration. "Who cares if it's damn hot, I slew this ****ing lion, I'm wearing it!"


What, are we going to turn this into a thing now? :smallamused:

More's the pity, made a much better narrative that way. Now it's not going to have nearly as much punch.

I don't want to make out with anyone in any circumstances.


Yeah, but I want to see if I can track it down. So... timestamp doesn't match it to an RB by default. Do you have nonstandard posts-per-page?

Nope, standard 30. It was probably a DnD game thread.


Ooh, are we shipping MoonCat? The correct options for partners are Blue Ghost, Teddy, and LaZodiac.

On other topics that happened, yes Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing will be amazing because it's Shakespeare, and it's Whedon.

That's a really nice picture.

ION: I forgot what my ION was going to be.

Ah, Blue. I haven't seen him in an ever.

Yep.

Thanks!

It happens to the best of us.


Devious! I hope you can actually come on when I'm online, though. I want to talk : )

Wish...I was...home.......now *ungaaaah*

About my smoke bomb technique?

Er... why?

[AsteriskAmp]

You sound like a boy in my class in 7th grade. He may've been in 8th grade too, but I'm not sure. He left sometime after 7th and before 9th, but I can't remember exactly when...I don't remember studying in Sweden at any point but I could have forgotten.

On the other hand... *does math* ... it's unlikely we could have been in the same grade due to age difference.

Yeah, I've always considered over-warmth to be a worse condition. I mean, I can always put on more clothes to stay warm, the same generally doesn't apply in the opposite case.That's why I love air conditioning in the car. And in the house. And everywhere.

And it's horrible, except when going to cold places and being able to bath at -10ºC comfortably with almost ambient temp water. Which is... once a year for me.

The second. I don't think I've ever passed by when they haven't had one or another art project going. Mostly sculpturing, but they also tend to do live music performances and crane dancing at the Culture Night every year.That sounds absolutely wonderful... but don't they have an art faculty for that? and areas related to it and somewhere to showcase?

This is amazing! I love it. We need more Teddy art! Hmm, how could we get morr art from you...hmmmmm!

I AM THE MOST SUBTLE!Your subtlety is only second to Oinksbane's.


Well! That's quite the campaign! The product of severely deranged minds filling every spare time in Science and Engineering faculty with a session.

We even ended up playing in the Dean's waiting room because they wanted to keep going while I was waiting for my appointment.
6 people inside a 4 person Mini. In the middle of a parking lot. In the middle of lunch at Friday's. Everywhere, all the time.

Oo! I wait excitingly. I shall only moderately dissapoint.

Who would purchase the ramblings of a madperson? Art students? Physic students?

I can't even remember the textbook. I'm working on erasing everything from that school year that involved school out of my head.That tends to happen to everyone but a select few.

Oh, gods, no. I thought it would be granted I'd not want to.Well, exception makes the rule and since you didn't mention him...

[Mutant Sheep]

See, this is my point. If you actually hated him, shipping you would be no fun at all - it would be like shipping you with Enderlord, which I would never ever under any circumstances ever do. So you don't hate him, and yet you abuse him and say jokingly mean things about him all the time. If this were IRL, you would probably punch his shoulder on a regular basis. That's how my ex acted around me all the time before she asked me out. :smalltongue:While I like being compared metaphorically to our esteemed Dimo, I believe that the breakup with this metaphorical MoonCat would involve a broken face. And pain.:smalleek::smallbiggrin:

Responses in no order, because not quoting people is actually entertaining.:smallamused:

You find me charming? But how?:smallconfused::smalltongue:

Domesticated rats are the cute ones.:smalltongue: (I get more mice where I live. Wild rats prefer other lands.)

WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?

She has known me for a while. Gosh, 2011 was a while ago. :smallconfused:

The second part, no, but she'd do the first one without hesitation, August.:smallwink::smalltongue:

/wools aboot

I PROBABLY should hit the post button BEFORE I go to eat.:smallredface::smallsigh:

@Teddys adorable drawing-on-graphing-paper:That is adorables. Do my next avatar?:smalltongue:

Many people have said this. Not exclusive.:smallamused:

This. You can't go much beyond naked. Wearing a couple pounds of clothing isn't quite as fun, though.:smallamused:

Culture Night. It sounds like. a Twilight Zone, or Hitchcock.

@vMoon:Actually, it looks more like puking on his face. You know, birds regurgitating food for the young looking.:smallbiggrin:

OH GOD MY EYES.

That moment in your life when you see pictures of you making out with a green Swedish bear.

What am I doing.

What is going on anymore.

What happened to corpses? I liked it when I hung out with corpses. Weird at least made sense then.

[Rawhide]

Hmmm. So if a not short person were to move to Tokyo, he or she would not be not short but actually not even considered near short?

To Akihabara!

Something like that. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qY2MOe8j2M)

[LaZodiac]

About my smoke bomb technique?

Er... why?

About all kinds of things! DND, boys, that person I mentioned, you, me, my bed. Stuff like that.

The mental image! It makes me wish I was home so we could do stuff!



You subtlety is only second to Oinksbane.

No idea what that is!

[MoonCat]

Yay, breaking faces! MOONCAT SMASH!

I DON'T KNOOOOOOW

Yep. Weren't you annoying back then?

Why bother? I can inflict plenty of pain without the effort of throwing you groundwards in the first place.



About all kinds of things! DND, boys, that person I mentioned, you, me, my bed. Stuff like that.

The mental image! It makes me wish I was home so we could do stuff!

What.

What is my life.

[AsteriskAmp]

No idea what that is!I'd link to the most subtle assassin Wereboar ever. But it's from 4chan, granted, /tg/, one of the tamest boards; but still 4chan.

The second part, no, but she'd do the first one without hesitation, August.:smallwink::smalltongue:Hey, she's very near becoming Asuka to your Shinji by the repeated denials and threats of violence up until now.

[TaiLiu]

Well, it was just one class using that textbook, and I'm not sure whether it was because she thought it was clever or because she didn't read my answers.
The latter, probably.

Makeup isn't necessarily bad, it's just not something that should be considered a must-have-on. I wear some in small amounts on occasion. I like eyeliner because it gives me cats' eyes!
I don't think I've ever worn makeup, nor has my family. Well, unless one counts nail polish and the like.

Also, the feeling of triumph at being able to put the damn stuff on without flinching anymore makes me more tempted to wear it. It's like a modern day equivalent of wearing the pelts of animals I defeated in decoration. "Who cares if it's damn hot, I slew this ****ing lion, I'm wearing it!"
Heh.

Ah, Blue. I haven't seen him in an ever.
Likewise.

You find me charming? But how?:smallconfused::smalltongue:
Bah. Doesn't everybody else find you charming?

[AsteriskAmp]

Bah. Doesn't everybody else find you charming?I don't, I just find him chaotically humorous.

[MoonCat]

The latter, probably.

Bah. Doesn't everybody else find you charming?

Mm.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[TaiLiu]

I don't, I just find him chaotically humorous.
Same thing, no?

Mm.
Mm.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
CURSES!

[AsteriskAmp]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And to think you denied with equal vehemence when you were first shipped with Blue... the good old times ...

Same thing, no?Well, I do have to acknowledge chaotic humorousness is indeed a type of charm; in the same way quirkiness is a charm to some.

[LaZodiac]

What.

What is my life.

I'm just fooling around. You're my friend, but we hardly talk, we don't do things together or have discussions, so I get nervous about losing you : (.


I'd link to the most subtle assassin Wereboar ever. But it's from 4chan, granted, /tg/, one of the tamest boards; but still.

Ah, okay.

Also, I find Moony charming!

[TaiLiu]

Well, I do have to acknowledge chaotic humorousness is indeed a type of charm; in the same way quirkiness is a charm to some.
Indeed.

Also, I find Moony charming!
Doesn't everybody? :smalltongue:

[Mutant Sheep]

Indeed.

Doesn't everybody? :smalltongue:It could be said to be so.:smallamused:

Hey, cool. I don't have to write a response, some wonderful person did it for me!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

:smalltongue::smallbiggrin:

[MoonCat]

Mm.

Mm.


And to think you denied with equal vehemence when you were first shipped with Blue... the good old times ...

I sill do! But I never said I found Blue's entire personality and behavior disgusting and irritating!


I'm just fooling around. You're my friend, but we hardly talk, we don't do things together or have discussions, so I get nervous about losing you : (.

LaLa, I hang out with you more than anyone on here. You aren't losing me to anyone, and I make the effort to stay and post here where I do see you even when I have tons of RL stuff going on. You are not going to lose me.

[TaiLiu]

It could be said to be so.:smallamused:
It is so! :smallsmile:

[MoonCat]

Doesn't everybody? :smalltongue:

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

EDIT:
Hey, cool. I don't have to write a response, some wonderful person did it for me!

:smalltongue::smallbiggrin:

Ninja'd.

[LaZodiac]

LaLa, I hang out with you more than anyone on here. You aren't losing me to anyone, and I make the effort to stay and post here where I do see you even when I have tons of RL stuff going on. You are not going to lose me.

Thank you : )

I'd be using less derp smilies but I can't find the equals sign.

Also, this morning, when my alarm rung, I picked up the phone and said "hello?"

[TaiLiu]

Mm.
Mm.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Also, this morning, when my alarm rung, I picked up the phone and said "hello?"
Most amusing!

[AsteriskAmp]

Hey, cool. I don't have to write a response, some wonderful person did it for me!ALL SHIPS SET SAIL!

ALL SHIPS SET SAIL!
...Are these strands of seaweed?

[Teddy]

That's adorable *glomps!

Actually, it's mostly just painful, but if you say so... *is glomped*


This is amazing! I love it. We need more Teddy art! Hmm, how could we get morr art from you...hmmmmm!

I AM THE MOST SUBTLE!

Actually, I hadn't expected you to be nearly this subtle, seeing where the first sentence was going... :smallwink:


I don't remember studying in Sweden at any point but I could have forgotten.

Yeah, I think Sheep nailed this one pretty well...


That's why I love air conditioning in the car. And in the house. And everywhere.

You know, I think it might be a bit hard to air condition the everywhere. I mean, laws of thermodynamics and etc etc... :smallwink:


And it's horrible, except when going to cold places and being able to bath at -10ºC comfortably with almost ambient temp water. Which is... once a year for me.

You know, I don't think you'll get even close to ambient temperature on the water at -10ºC, seeing how still water freezes at 0ºC , and running water only slightly below that...

Unless the water is highly saline, of course...


That sounds absolutely wonderful... but don't they have an art faculty for that? and areas related to it and somewhere to showcase?

That would kind of defeat the purpose of it, I think. Plus, the scrapyard is privately owned, and not directly linked to any official institutions...


OH GOD MY EYES.

That moment in your life when you see pictures of you making out with a green Swedish bear.

Yeah, I don't think a lot of people around here can relate to this. It's kind of hard to imagine happening on regular occations...


What am I doing.

What is going on anymore.

Beats me, I just sit up at 2 in the morning and draw sleep-addled mental pictures on digital graph paper. And now it's almost 3 in the morning...


What happened to corpses? I liked it when I hung out with corpses. Weird at least made sense then.

They... kept staying dead, I suppose? I mean, I wouldn't know. You still have your mummified fingers, don't you? Don't they count? Or do you want us all to go back to a time when I only drew you hanging out with corpses, which means back to never because that technically never happened (unless you count Bast)? Or do you just want me to draw you hanging out with corpses?

[LaZodiac]

Thank you : )

I'd be using less derp smilies but I can't find the equals sign.

Also, this morning, when my alarm rung, I picked up the phone and said "hello?"

Pfffffhahahahahahaha

D'awww, I'm the only one you draw picture of being made-out with? :smallredface::smallamused::smalltongue:

No, I mean, my life used to be really weird (often involving corpses) just like it is now, but then it made sense to me, if not everyone else. Now my life confuses everyone.

[AsteriskAmp]

Yeah, I think Sheep nailed this one pretty well...It probably should be the club's lemma...

You know, I think it might be a bit hard to air condition the everywhere. I mean, laws of thermodynamics and etc etc... :smallwink:We just need a gigantic heat sink. I propose the Northern Hemisphere since they regularly complain of cold.


You know, I don't think you'll get even close to ambient temperature on the water at -10ºC, seeing how still water freezes at 0ºC , and running water only slightly below that...

Unless the water is highly saline, of course...Or leaded, considering this are places in the middle of nothing in the highlands and the water probably is less water and more heavens knows what chemical compound...

But it was probably at 0 or near it just not able to freeze due to latent heat.

That would kind of defeat the purpose of it, I think. Plus, the scrapyard is privately owned, and not directly linked to any official institutions...Doesn't that mean they are in fact contributing to a private interest which is the same as... doing it for the university?

[Amidus Drexel]

Hey, now. Five feet is plenty tall. :smalltongue:


Five feet is short, madam. :smalltongue:



But... But five feet is taller than a table!

Tables are short. :smallwink:



Lies, all lies!

Amipoodle! No! Hands off! This is our corner now, not just yours! Don't you dare hurt my thistles and lily of the valleys!

Not at all.

Innuendo, or did you bring literal plants INTO MY PRISTINE CORNER OF THE THREAD?!?!?! :smallamused: :smalltongue:


Hey! 5ft is not short!
Sure, you qualify as a small creature in D&D but it's definitely NOT short.

Test Subjects.

You would say that. :smalltongue:

Heh :smallamused:


Hey, they're pretty big in Tokyo.

Indeed.:smallamused:


DMing with literally 0 prep time is one of the most fun experiences I've had as of yet, with such wonders as a colossal boiling milk elemental and the Zimboe, totally not my misreading of zombie and like 20 statblock in the process. NPCs misteriously named after physicists, mathematicians, programmers and chemists, totally not related to those being the last names I had heard of at moment of meeting.

Making the weirdest hybrid system with 2E skills, 4E combat, AD&D amounts of different weapon types and Nobillis rules for the deities.

And Nuclear Exploding an elemental to have a 5 layered tornado to save the party by making a fluid go supercritical made sense in context. Oh, and a player playing a character with no combat skills, and literally 1hp and surviving everything the Paragon and now Epic party did.

Hehehe, I love improvising everything. Those sorts of sessions are always fun. :smallbiggrin:

EDIT: And now, to get the quotes that were dropped, and to respond to ninjas! Coming up next...

[Teddy]

I think there was a Sheep quote, but it got lost in not being quoted. My responses are mostly among the lines of "Thanks", "Well, not actually paper" and "I don't think I really want to see 5 minutes of hasty work used by someone else as an avatar".


I know, and you have my sympathy. The quirk itself is cute, though.

Yeah, my mind seems to like quirks. It has many...

A keyboard can be set to nearly any height, given the way most stands are built. And that largely depends on the car; you'll fit perfectly in a Mini, but could you say the same for a larger truck? It may not be so short that it impairs you (or midget-sized, which in the U.S. is set at 4'10", I think), but it's still short. If 5' isn't short, then 7' isn't tall. :smalltongue:

Napoleon was about 2 inches above average for his time, and he's only an inch or two short of average for our time. He's often depicted as being short, but that isn't accurate.

And I DO fit in a Mini AND in a truck, I've driven a truck, distance to the pedals is not THAT much greater, there just are 12 or 13 shifts rather than the customary 6.

Au contraire, since 5 isn't short, 7' is gigantic.

On other topics that happened, yes Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing will be amazing because it's Shakespeare, and it's Whedon.

I need to see this. :smallfrown: Is mah favorite Shakespeare. Also, one of fave movie people maker things.

The pictures were taken before the most of the pigeons got over to me, there's only about twenty or so, with only about five on me, but here's a picture.

There is a difference between being flat-out incorrect and just saying, you know. :smallwink: Napoleon was taller than 5'6", so there's no way you could have gotten him as being close to 5', even by rounding.

HIGH SIX! :smallcool:



A piano can't be set, and there is also a default seat height for correct arm placement and reaching the pedals (you need a special extension like Petrucciani otherwise).

Yes, but unless you're about 4ft or 7ft tall, pianos aren't difficult to reach the keyboard and the pedals. They're designed to be used by people of various heights.

How far forward do you have to move the seat, though?

No, you've shifted the range downwards. You have to expand it in both directions, or leave it at: ~5'6" to ~6'0" is neither short nor tall.

Nothing wrong with mad engineering. :smallcool:

You should distribute the results by carrier pigeon. :smallamused:

Does that name make sense in some language I don't know?Avgvst works or Ara aswell. It's the result of running an actual name through an acronym maker many many years ago.

The campaign was the product of me being indebted to a friend of mine for a favour she did to me during the summer and sheer insanity.

It involved the players starting a cheesemongering empire, developing modern physics through an enlightened barbarian, stealing a magical perfect Carnot engine from an undead filled depression in the earth which entry gate was a rundown Cathedral of the Burning Hatred, them going to the Cheese Moon to fight the Milk-Worm; a player joining halfway through and playing a 17 year old damsel by the name of Carrot which did the party's finances and other stuff and survived Paragon and Epic tier without a single PC level and refused to take them and moved items around in combat; a rebel liberation quest, negotiating with the farm orcs and using undead labor to have better cheese factories.

The campaign was sheer utter concentrated insanity with a madman in the wheel.


Dynamics are importante.In this case the three type of dynamics.


Yes, but unless you're about 4ft or 7ft tall, pianos aren't difficult to reach the keyboard and the pedals. They're designed to be used by people of various heights.Well yes, but the fact that one loses access to nothing at 5ft means one isn't too short, since one was included in average height calculations.

How far forward do you have to move the seat, though?Enough to reach the end of the clutch pedal with my left foot.

No, you've shifted the range downwards. You have to expand it in both directions, or leave it at: ~5'6" to ~6'0" is neither short nor tall.No, there is no shift down; it's its original centre. Human median height is 5,4 foot tall, this means the interval should be ~5'2" to ~5'6" by your criteria (I have no idea what the standard deviation for it is which would be needed to produce the proper confidence interval). Expanding it covers up to 5' and 5'8, which is what I said.

You should distribute the results by carrier pigeon. :smallamused:Too bad my methods are only useful for one way travel...

That sounds like a lot of fun. :smallcool:

Yeah, not so short that you're impaired, but still short. :smalltongue:

That expansion makes nearly every country's female average fall completely within "average height", and over half of the countries in the world's male average at or well above "average height", then, according to wikipedia.

I find that hard to believe, given that the male/female ratio for the world population is only a few percentage points in favor of women, and certainly not enough to skew the average like that. :smallconfused:

You only need an arbitrarily high number of pigeons and two machines to make it work, you know. :smallamused:

[Coidzor]

Hmm. The thought of shaving has again crossed my mind. What say you, Random Banter?

[AsteriskAmp]

That sounds like a lot of fun. :smallcool:It is, even if 3 group members will probably fail half their subjects for playing D&D during lectures and before finals week (where it took me and another two members to actually think for a bit about our glorious plan of using the free time in Finals Week and realising that probably only two of us would even be able to pass at least one of our subjects if we did that).

We still have to wrap it up though, which won't happen until next semester most probably.

I suppose there'd be so fancy it made people burst into tears and I wouldn't be able to order anything from subway ever again as a result. And envy is nice up until they try to throw acid at you so that they'll have a chance of getting a date while you're around. :smalltongue:

The Fu Manchu. Awesome band, awesome 'stache. :smallcool:

You know, I've never run into this problem.


'Tis Australia.

They are my height or slightly shorter. Perhaps I just live in an area with oddly tall people? Interesting...

I shall keep in mind not to take envious friends to a club. Acid to the face does not sound pleasant.

-Giovanni

I'm a bit surprised you all haven't fallen off the bottom side of the planet yet. :smallamused:

Yeah, if that's where most people you know are, then that's a bit odd.

Well, that really depends on what you're using the acid for, I suppose.

[LaZodiac]

Delicious eats, you say? What exactly are they?

Subway! Steak and Bacon melt (minus the bacon cause they forget X_X).



I'm doing well. Ahhh a day off! *The Hatter stretches and purrs.*

Sweet! Day offs are great!

[Coidzor]

The Fu Manchu. Awesome band, awesome 'stache. :smallcool:

You know, I've never run into this problem.

Doesn't work that way on my face, sadly. Curls rather than grows out very well.

I wouldn't have thought you've gone fancy. I usually don't go full fancy myself, unless I'm in my kilt and in those cases the kilt cancels things out because people get fixated on the kilt and trying to look up it rather than looking at me per se.

...Do you not watch them make it in Canadia? :smallconfused:

Well, until they turn into weeks off when you were counting on getting a paycheck for that period of time to finance a trip to Dragon*Con at any rate. :smalltongue:

Dude I was working since 3, cut me some slack :smalltongue:

Yha, that's kind of bothersome.

Meanwhile, I've had some awakened nostalgia~

Oh I'm one tough bazookas, who 'ates all palooka's, who aint on the up and square! I biffs em and boffs em and always out roughes em and none of them gets no where. If anyone dares to risk, me fisks, it's boff and it's wham understand? So keep your behavior that's your one life saver, with Popeye the Sailor Man. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVTueuGHQgc)

Ah well, my quest for the mythical land of tall women must continue, I suppose. Mayhap, mayhap, interesting that the women aren't also taller than normal on average in addition to the menfolk though.

Indeed. Don't want to end up like Garrus, after all.

[Rawhide]

I say do what you fancy. Or what makes you look fancy. Actually, both.

And a quick guide to doing that:

[Teddy]

D'awww, I'm the only one you draw picture of being made-out with? :smallredface::smallamused::smalltongue:

Yeah, you're the only one I've ever done it with. And first, for that matter. It's kind of a one-of-a-kind occation, most people generally don't bring up the subject to start with, even less so at that sweet spot in my daily schedule when sleep deprivation triggers my full creative potential without just rendering me sluggish and unthinking. It's like the Ballmer Peak (http://xkcd.com/323/), only with sleep deprivation.

I suppose the same thing could happen again if more people talked about making out with me, but it doesn't seem to be that much of a prime topic. I suppose LaLa would be a likely candidate, but she always hovers around in the peripheral realm of always almost but never actually saying anything explicitly, and I wouldn't want to make Cobra jealous anyway...


No, I mean, my life used to be really weird (often involving corpses) just like it is now, but then it made sense to me, if not everyone else. Now my life confuses everyone.

Sounds like I brought some equality to this world, then. :smallwink:

Alternatively, who doesn't long for a surreal life anyway? :smalldoublewink:


We just need a gigantic heat sink. I propose the Northern Hemisphere since they regularly complain of cold.

A gigantic heatsink? That would be me. I'm a black hole when it comes to the thermals...


Or leaded, considering this are places in the middle of nothing in the highlands and the water probably is less water and more heavens knows what chemical compound...

Unless it comes directly from the wastewater outputs of one mine or another, I doubt the highland water is what you should fear. It's not like the water grows less polluted just by going further down into the lowlands where you have farms and industries...


But it was probably at 0 or near it just not able to freeze due to latent heat.

Moving water can usually hold a temperature of 0 due to the movement preventing it from freezing, much like the process of creating ice-cream. Also, the constant movement keeps introducing more heat into the system...


Doesn't that mean they are in fact contributing to a private interest which is the same as... doing it for the university?

Uhh, I'm not really following your train of thought here...

Also, I think they're mostly doing it for their own personal interests sake. There doesn't have to be a capitalistic reason for everything a private corporation does...


Meh. It looked to be. GREEN BEAR MAKEOUT SHOULD BE A SERIES KF DRAWINGS. TEDDDDDY, DRAW OTHER PEOPLE DOING THE SAME THING SO THAT THE JOKE BECOMES OVERUSED.:smalltongue:

Well, Windows Journal is wonderful in that regard. For all purposes, it may be regarded as graph paper, but with perfect erasers and the ability to move stuff around freely, and I love to use it for notes and etc. It's just not, you know, actual paper.

And you tempt me, but it's to early in the day. I may be feeling faint and generally sluggish in overall because I have something stupid in my body again, but I'm still far from my "Teddy Peak".


Awwwww.:smallfrown: I wikey Teddy drawings... Draw a sheepie anyways?:smallredface:

Sorry, I'm just not in a sufficiently silly mood right now. Try pestering me at 2 in my morning instead, except don't, because I need to be up for a Skype meeting tomorrow morning, and should probably get some sleep tonight...


Painful-dorable!

Yeah, I suppose that may be an adequate description...


Bears have facial muscles? *squee*

Well, how else are we going to grin at you and eat your face, do you think? Or make out with you, really...


... I don't think I've ever laughed this much in my entire life. My brother came in from the other room and asked if I was OK. This is the best thing. :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin:

Well, I suppose that's a quality mark. Also, thanks! :smallredface:


Also, since when am I esteemed? Who's been esteeming me? General warning: if anyone here has been esteeming me, you should stop for your own health and safety. :smalltotallyseriousface:

Well, I'm not not esteeming you, and you've yet to prove why I shouldn't esteem you. Make of that whatever you wish. :smallwink:

Hmph, of course I'm decorating our corner with flowers! I mean, be glad I'm not building a bed and bringing my lampshades here, I've settled all this in Zoozie's bedroom.


Oh, definitely, but I never said that. I only observed that it's hard to avoid crossing the line when you don't know where the line is drawn. For all I know, the line could be behind me, and the only way which doesn't pass it is the way ahead. :smallwink: I'm not very prone to confusion, as you can probably tell.

Didn't you go back home from Finland? How could it possibly be 1 in the morning for you? I mean, it's only 22 past it for me...


Oh, the line's drawn in a different place depending on the day, mood and all!

Huh, no? I'm in Finland 'til the end of the month.

[Teddy]

Now I'm imagining my dog (a white haired wolf) knocking you to the ground, then licking your face in a kind of doggy makeout.

I'm... not quite sure my brain is even willing to parse that as a makeout to start with. I mean, I try, but any attempts at interpretting it as such just end up in some really weird (and quite sloppy) furry fantasy, before they just black out in static noise...


Now I almost wish I was into that. :smalltongue:

Makes sense. I guess I'll just have to walk all over the place as much as possible until I figure out the pattern, then. :smallwink:


Huh, no? I'm in Finland 'til the end of the month.

Okay, I see. You spoke about a plane trip, and I suppose I was hasty enough to believe that you went back to Scottland, but I assume that it was from one part of Finland to another, then? North to south, if I may be so bold as to guess?

[AsteriskAmp]

That seems like it would be inaccurate without some device to aim it...Newtonian Physics and Paper is thy device. roughly guesstimate placement over container of joy and trigger the fun.

Filthy sky-rats...I prefer: "Widely Accessible Willing Test Subjects".

A gigantic heatsink? That would be me. I'm a black hole when it comes to the thermals...And by the criteria I am a white hole; able to be used as warmer during winter by my youngest sister and particularly insane friends of mine.

Unless it comes directly from the wastewater outputs of one mine or another, I doubt the highland water is what you should fear. It's not like the water grows less polluted just by going further down into the lowlands where you have farms and industries...I can't reply to this without basically explaining the political and economical workings of my country. But in short and without risk; no, I SHOULD worry, ridiculously so; there is such a thing as mines polluting water reservoirs directly, and the capital, or well heck, some areas of it having to run privately run water filtering facilities to have access to clean water compared to the rest of the population.

The farther you get from the capital, which is in the coast, the more you should worry about potable water cleanliness and the presence of uranium on it.

I love that series! I have only seen episodes here and there, but I just love BBC period dramas. They really know how to make them not just entertaining, but actually feel like it's whatever year it is. I just love the themes they handle in the series.

Still a bit annoyed the DVDs haven't gone cheap yet... I guess I have to wait another year or two.

.. I have to say I'm a bit surprised seeing a man liking the series. :smalltongue: *conventional gender roles and stuffs messing with the brain*

[Teddy]

Well, I had been talking about going up North of Finland... :smalltongue:

Wait, you were further south a few days ago, but then you took a flight northwards? Weren't you pretty far north to start with, what with having or almost having midnight sun (can't remember which one)? Is there a reason you capitalised the "North"? :smallconfused:

I've never really bothered with shaping my life after the norms. It influences me, sure, because it's deeply ingrained in our society whether we like it or not, but I try not to think of it and let myself enjoy whatever I feel like enjoying. Like Call the Midwife, for example.

There's nothing sexual about it, he's not interested in the dog, the dog's not interested in him, but the dog is still over eager and planting huge wet slobbery licks on his face.

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe later when I'm growing things out. It seems the ladies all want me to just shave everything off and go baby fresh for a while just for something novel.

Gyros are wunderbar, aye. I think I've been to about two fancy-level restaurants myself, though I've also been to a couple of weddings where I had to get gussied up. Though kilts are a wonderful thing since mine came with its own bit of formal wear that auto-out-fancies anyone who isn't in an actually decent tux.

That reminds me that I've been meaning to start doodling again and maybe actually learning how to draw better than a dead yak.

And you're not supposed to kick girls anyway. :smalltongue:

Maybe. Maybe. Maybe later when I'm growing things out. It seems the ladies all want me to just shave everything off and go baby fresh for a while just for something novel.

Gyros are wunderbar, aye. I think I've been to about two fancy-level restaurants myself, though I've also been to a couple of weddings where I had to get gussied up. Though kilts are a wonderful thing since mine came with its own bit of formal wear that auto-out-fancies anyone who isn't in an actually decent tux. It's no white-tie, but 'Murica doesn't do white tie.

*pulls out revolver* Wait, that's not what you meant, was it? :smallamused:

Think "gently nudge with foot to acquire room to set that foot down", instead of "kick". :smallamused:

Silly Coid, at the beck and call of his ladyfriends. :smalltongue:

Indubitably. :smallcool:


Accept "Plants", you say? Ho hur, I'd accept a lot more than that.:smallamused:Do you know what I am sayin'? Im saying forced innuendo, what Im sayin.

No short shorts? Why no Amidus in short shorts?:smallfrown:

Heh.:smallamused:

You know what word should go here, next to this amused smiley. (Hint:Kin-ky.):smallamused:

THERE'S NO NEED TO BE SO DRASTIIIIIIC

LIFE ALONE IS SO FANTASTIIIIIIC

Heheheheh :smallamused:

No, I don't wear short shorts. I wear jeans. Only jeans. Unless it's well below freezing or incredibly hot outside, I wear jeans and a t-shirt year-round.

:smallwink:

Perhaps, given how I reacted when the power cut out. Surprisingly, it flickered back on for a second after I hit the desk a few times. :smallamused:

[Taet]

Coidzor should not be listening to his "ladyfriends" about shaving. He should be listening to us. Especially Amidus since he just pulled out a revolver. Silence is difficult to show in a post but it's why the thread stopped for half an hour right after he asked the question.

araveugnitsuga reminded me to look up uranium mining in the Mojave Desert in the south of California. I saw some handwritten uranium protest signs while driving through there last month. The signs made sense but were far too long to read while driving at the speed limit. It's a bad sign that a sign had to be made but a good sign that nobody took it down as a protest. It was not even shot at and every sign in the desert is shot at just because there is nothing else nearby to shoot.

FULL CAPS ARE TOO BOMBASTIC
It's only two steps away from "loud" in the thesaurus.

It's Finnish Braveheart!:smalltongue: Finnish Jigglypuff! Finnish Finnie!

I think that she's just making Amidus get his war paint on. :smalltongue:

Not even a paint-equivalent app, eh? Wiggy. Well, I hope you're not stuck outside the ranks of the computered for too much longer then.

Well, there's the wall-hangings too, can't forget them.

Because it's hard to wear short-shorts and front a band of Amidus's genre, I imagine.

Yeah, that's one way to make a Coidzor nervous. :smalltongue: So far the consensus here seems to be grizzly adams beard, and Coidzor just isn't ready for that kind of committment right now. :/

That reminds me, one of my friends' grandparents went broke doing exploratory mining for uranium somewhere around there back in the day.

Something like that, aye.

I have some flannel. I don't wear it during the summer, because it's very warm.

It's a rather nice desk. It can take a few punches; I like that in a desk. It saves me punching breakable things, like the walls, and I don't have to walk halfway across the house to find the punching bag. I should get something for my hands, though... that's still sore.

You need a Nietzsche-style mustache. :smallamused:

Empty time to fill is when you go onto YouTube just to watch one video and four hours later the ISP sends you a email about sharing. It has learning like Wikipedia, but video learning so it is better for some techniques. And it does NOT have a random button that I have found so I cannot find frightening things like I did when using the random button to read manga on Batoto. MoonCat, do not follow that link. You are already wounded.

Because I haven't put up anything I've draw-

You're a good artist from another point of view, you know.

[Feytalist]

So after Saturday evening, this was my Sunday:

1) Woke up
2) Wished I was dead
3) Called my mother and told her I loved her
4) Went to sleep again

Alcohol is the devil's juice, children. Remember this.


And then I desperately tried to track down the girl from the previous night. Failed spectacularly.


...so how was your weekend, thread? :smallbiggrin:

[FinnLassie]

...so how was your weekend, thread? :smallbiggrin:

Getting annoyed at the most annoying indoor peeing dachshund and telling Amidus the corner isn't his private property.

[Feytalist]

I generally like big, energetic dogs, but I must admit sausages are cute.

Still. Give me an Alsatian any day.

[FinnLassie]

I generally like big, energetic dogs, but I must admit sausages are cute.

Still. Give me an Alsatian any day.

I was dogsitting my godparents' dog. He's hell. Last year he bit me quite bad, and this time was the last time I ever want to be with that dog by myself. He WAS cute 8 years ago when he wasn't cuckoo in the brain.

I'd like to get a samoyed when I'm older. Alsatian would be nice too, but I'd like to have one that isn't all eff'd up in the lower back. A nice, proper straight back instead of the kind that's nearly dragging their bottom on the ground.

[Elemental]

Napoleon was around 5 feet. Make of that what you will.

For the record, REALLY short starts at 4 feet, for me. But, being 6 foot, that makes sense. You're all so tiny!

Six foot you say? That makes you taller than me depending on how slumped my back is at any given moment.



Hmm. The thought of shaving has again crossed my mind. What say you, Random Banter?

Hmm... As the only person here who I know for certain who also has a beard, I'm going to suggest you do what you feel comfortable with while I continue my amazing quest of getting around to shaving.



About average height, I'd thought. Granted, due to my place in the body spectrum, everyone's either short to me or giants.

Actually, in Australia the average height for a man is 5'10", whereas the average for a woman is 5'5", making the average for the entire population, as we have practically equivalent quantities of either gender, at 5'7 and a half".
So, 5'8" is average, but one would feel short among young men.



A most unusual land you live in!

Not really, see above. Europeans are on average taller than people of asiatic descent, particularly in the north of Europe. Britain has a higher concentration of Scandinavian height genes than other places in Europe that aren't Scandinavian, so British people tend to be taller than French people, but shorter than Scandinavians, and for some reason Dutch people, and thus so are Australians and New Zealanders.
That was not particularly coherent, but it's all down to a combination of genetics and diet.



I'm a bit surprised you all haven't fallen off the bottom side of the planet yet. :smallamused:

We are saved from such an unfortunate fate due to the sheer fact that gravity doesn't work that way.



Ah well, my quest for the mythical land of tall women must continue, I suppose. Mayhap, mayhap, interesting that the women aren't also taller than normal on average in addition to the menfolk though.

According to two seconds of research on Wikipedia, you should try either the Dinaric Alps or the Netherlands.



And a quick guide to doing that:

Sparkles and rainbow unicorns? Really Rawhide? In this economy?



Also, not coming to sleep under your bed tonight as I'm in the middle of solving this dispute with Amibleuuuurgh. :smallannoyed:

We could just build a new corner. Then we won't have the need to throw around emoticons and debate geometry!



'Tis the land of the tall, then.

Nah. The height averages are the same as the USA. There's just more regional variance over there. Plus a larger population always results in the statistically less likely to become more noticeable.



...why am I surrounded by good artists!

Because people who are terrible at art often lack confidence in their art and don't exhibit it as a result. Sure, there are plenty of terrible artists out there who do show off their work, but that's a small percentage of the greater whole who are more concerned with how people perceive them and don't want to be perceived as a terrible artist. Hence why most people don't sing in public unless they're either inebriated or singing with in a group. Goes the same with dancing.



I've been to exactly two "fancy" (and by that, I mean high-end, snobby sorts) of restaurants in my entire life. One is in the 'burg, and it was... okay. The food was good, but I honestly prefer several other (less snobby) restaurants to it... especially that one greek place. I could eat gyros every day and never complain about it. Mmm..... The other was somewhere in Montreal, and that was some damn nice food. :smallcool:

ION: Lost power for a few hours, which interrupted what I was typing... Gah, I have to start over now. :smallannoyed:

You know... Ever since you mentioned this 'burg of yours, I've been trying to determine which city you meant. At first I thought: Fredericksburg, easy geography for anyone who knows Virginia exists. And then I checked my atlas, and found a whole bunch of others, and now I'm not certain...
Yes, there's Fredericksburg, but there's also Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, Petersburg, Williamsburg, Leesburg, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Strasburg.
And that's not even counting all the ones that are smaller in population. Now I know even less about the Commonwealth of Virginia than I did when I started!

And yes, power outages are annoying. We had one earlier today for a bit. Fortunately Energex was able to repair the fault with ease, and an hour ahead of schedule.



Well, there's the wall-hangings too, can't forget them.

I wonder if my auntie will let me have that print that belonged to my grandma...



We really do need to get you in a nice flannel, aye.

Hmm... I haven't worn a flannel shirt in years. Where does the time go these days?



Yeah, that's one way to make a Coidzor nervous. :smalltongue: So far the consensus here seems to be grizzly adams beard, and Coidzor just isn't ready for that kind of committment right now. :/

That reminds me, one of my friends' grandparents went broke doing exploratory mining for uranium somewhere around there back in the day.

Hmm... Let me look up Grizzly Adams, compare it to recent photographs of you and weigh in with an opinion as a fellow bearded individual.
Huh... My Dad has a beard like that... Well, it's not that long at the moment, but still, it's that style. Not quite like the Man From Ironbark, but a substantial style indeed.
Anyway... I've determined in my infinite wisdom that it doesn't suit your facial features. Keep your current level of facial hair if you can, because I have a subtle feeling you would look weird clean shaven and also that anything longer would be too scruffy.
But that's just my personal opinion, and I'm biased because I've always been an admired of the neatness of your beard.

You know what's most depressing about one of your friend's relatives going broke looking for uranium? The fact that I don't think a single relative of mine has ever had enough money to noticeably go broke until recent times.
Apparently, all the money that my mother's relatives must have had in the past was not inherited by her branch of the family.



It's one of those nights again. One of those nights where I run out of things to do and just sit at the Subscribed Pages menu and hit Refresh every three minutes.

You need to acquire more literature. I suggest "To Kill a Mockingbird" if you have not already read it. Alternatively, the poetry of Banjo Paterson.



Read through random Wikipedia articles! That's what I like to do.

Or that. There are some pretty cool optical phenomena.



I'd be perfectly fine showing off scars, but I think it's been proven that I have a bit of a skewed perspective on that sort of thing.

It depends on the scar. Some end up being cool, whereas others are more disfiguring. I'm missing part of two of my fingerprints because of fire, whereas the scar on my hand has turned out nicely.



...so how was your weekend, thread? :smallbiggrin:

Wondering where on Earth Mynxae is. If he's not back by tomorrow evening, I might have to go looking.
Though, admittedly, part of the problem could be because I haven't signed in to Skype since Saturday and he hasn't been able to message me because of it...

[Feytalist]

I'd like to get a samoyed when I'm older. Alsatian would be nice too, but I'd like to have one that isn't all eff'd up in the lower back. A nice, proper straight back instead of the kind that's nearly dragging their bottom on the ground.

Yeah, that's a problem with the purebreds. We had a couple of Alsatians back in the day (about 13 in all? I forget. My mum sort-of bred them) and they pretty much all had hip problems.

I think you'll have to go mix-breed in that case. We had a bull terrier/rottweiler mix. Sounds scary, right? Friendliest dog in the world.

Although... she got attacked by a bulldog once. Ripped out his throat. And then trotted back to me for belly rubs. Heh.


Edit: Cough. Napoleon was 5'6", which was perfectly average for his time. And I say this as someone who is also 5'6". (And generally the shortest guy in the room, around here.) People were shorter back in the day? I dunno.

Oh, hell no, we're not building anything new! Don't give in to Amididdles! It'll just encourage his need for dominance!

Personally I used to hate that breed for a long while but now that I'm older I realise it wasn't the dogs' fault they were horrible, but my neighbour's... They kept their gate open all the time and if you went near the dogs would literally come and bite your rear. And they were breeders too, euch.

Mmh, I've been dreaming of a golden retriever mixed with something. In the end I just want a dog that's excited to go out hiking for days and such.

Heh, my grandparents used to have a rottweiler. She was the kindest little thing ever, apparently. Just wanted more scratches and wasn't bothered by anyone. My grandpa really spoiled all of his dogs... :smalltongue:

[Feytalist]

Mmh, I've been dreaming of a golden retriever mixed with something. In the end I just want a dog that's excited to go out hiking for days and such.

Great danes are actually great for that. They're huge and floppy and love running around like a mad thing, but they actually take up so little space inside. I dunno how, but inside they're calm and just lie behind the couch, and outside they're huge boundless energy machines. Apparently they're good with kids too.

[Deathkeeper]

Sadly Elemental I've already read TKaM. I've decided to go finish Wheel of Time, though.

And for the dog discussion, I've always wanted a beagle. Yes, I know that hunting breeds can be exceptionally loud, but I love them so much. I'm also partial to spaniels, but maybe it's just because I've had good experiences with them.

[Teddy]

Ah, sorry, capitalising north was a brain blurb. But yeah, I was south here in Finland, then went up north (it was even brighterrrr) and then came back south. :smalltongue: Via plane. Because trains are stupid and cost almost double.

So, I was right then.

And expensive trains are stupid. We have a pretty good train service here in Sweden, though, we just haven't realised it yet. :smallwink:


Teehee, this is funsies. I want to make it my phone background image but I feel a bit strange having myself there...

I think I can understand that. Also, it'd probably feel a bit strange for me to have 10 minutes of hasty drawings used by someone for something serious, because I could do something which looks much better, only I forbid myself to do so...


But... I think the situation would be like this in this particular situation:
*SCRIBBLEEES*
mixed technique with expensives good stuff and crappy Stabilos. because most of stuffsies is in Scotland :verysmallsigh:

Heh, your face is priceless. And Amidus just stands there like "Whatever, for as long as you don't stab me in the eyes...". :smallbiggrin:


I haven't really gotten into Downton Abbey... It's a bit too complicated. Love the costumes and scenery though.

Well, you don't have to like everything just because it holds a high quality...


Almost. :smallamused:

Almost almost? So, like halfway and a little more, but not three quarter-ways?


You know how dogs like to lick people? You know how dogs like to lick faces? Have you ever seen a movie where the guy was sleeping and dreaming of kissing his ideal woman, only to wake suddenly and find out his dog (or a dog he knows) was licking his face?

Yeah, parse it like that.

Yeah, but I've always found those scenes a bit too silly and unrealistic to take seriously, so no, I still can't think of it as kissing.


There's nothing sexual about it, he's not interested in the dog, the dog's not interested in him, but the dog is still over eager and planting huge wet slobbery licks on his face.

Oh, no, I didn't mean it in a sexual sense. I'm just trying to categorise dog lickings as kissing, but my head just won't let me, a twists and warps my mental images as a result.


Well, I'm reasonably certain I'm a horrible person, for one thing. :smalltongue:

Give me an example, or I won't believe you. :smallamused:


But seriously, I would default to non-esteem rather than defaulting to esteem - in other words, someone would have to prove that I SHOULD esteem them rather than that I SHOULDN'T.

Yeah, see, this is a difference in outlooks. Plus, you know, you haven't been a horrible person while on here, but rather friendly and with a good taste in cute avatars, so I fail to see why you shouldn't be on my positive side of zero.


The jeans thing, yes. I will only wear pants. All year. Thooooough, probably for different reasons. I have really nasty scars on my right calf from a car accident I had. So, pants. :smalltongue:

Why? Wear you scar with pride, don't hide it. I mean, they're a record of your life, they tell stories of where you've been and what happened to you. Plus, IIRC, scars fade faster when exposed to sunlight.


Aaaaand, finally...

I have been feeling like genuine ****. I just came from the worst breakup of my life. It's been three weeks and in that time period I've had a friend almost commit suicide, a friend I though I had stab me in the back, and the woman I truly love leave me for another man. Ooooh. Ow. That hurts to write out... May I talk to someone? I really need a friend... :smallfrown:

Wow, tough break. Really tough break. I can't say I have any experience in anything of which you talk about, and I'm not a very good consoler, but at least I think I know how to listen, and can at least analyse and consider a situation rather well...

What I guess it all boils down to is: What do you need of your friend? I mean, apart from existing?


Alcohol is the devil's juice, children. Remember this.

Nah, it's fine, but you need to excert enough self control to no overdo it. A general guideline I've yet to test on myself is that if you're having fun, you probably don't need another glass. Now I just need a party to try it out on...


Edit: Cough. Napoleon was 5'6", which was perfectly average for his time. And I say this as someone who is also 5'6". (And generally the shortest guy in the room, around here.) People were shorter back in the day? I dunno.

5'7" according to Wikipedia...

And yes, people were somewhat shorter back in the day, mostly due to malnutrition, if I remember correctly...


Gut nacht! *waves* :smalltongue:

It's "Guten Nacht!", actually. Germany is obnoxious and has no less than three grammatical genders. Also, nouns are always written with a captial first letter, which honestly isn't especially confusing at all as soon as you've learned it yourself...
Why do I even care about educating people in the German language? I mean, I can barely speak it myself...

[LaZodiac]

Why do I even care about educating people in the German language? I mean, I can barely speak it myself...

Because learning is fun, no matter the insignifigence! (sic)

[Feytalist]

5'7" according to Wikipedia...

Eh, rounding difference. Point is, the popular image of him as a shortarse is completely spurious. Fun fact: the reason for that is because France's unit of measurement differed ever so slightly than that of Britain. In France, he was measured to be 5'2" or something, which was roughly the same length as Britain's 5'7" I was taught 5'6" in History class dammit.

And of course, when the British press got a hold of this fact, they ran wild. And somehow that caricature stuck. Just shows you what an important role the correct management of information can have, I guess.


Thank you, completely awesome History teacher who told us that instead of doing real, boring work. Like 90% of his class was just him leaning against a desk and telling us interesting stories about whatever we were supposed to be studying. And so we were taught without memorizing facts. Were that all education could happen that way.

[Teddy]

The cherries are starting to ripen all over the town. The first ones on my favourite tree are not yet quite perfect, but I ate them anyway because it's my favourite tree. And I found another two trees of slightly lower quality but who both are completely ripe. The only problem is that to reach the trunk for climbing, you'll have to make your way through a few thick shrubberies, and the amount of low-hanging branches isn't very great.

Still, I'm now a very happy bear. :3

[Coidzor]

There is no such thing. :smalltongue:

That looks more like Welsh. :smallamused: Ennyways, eht's Verrjihnyen teh you, sehr.

Sadly I think there is. You're just too Amidus now. There's no going back.

Well, you know, I've probably got more Welsh than Verjihnyen in meh.


*nods* FB friends that don't understand they they're the only ones that care about subject X are pretty annoying.

Well, extremists always did have the best facial hair...

You could always try being an Amidus, although I can't guarantee how well it'll work for you. Also, there's no warranty on your sanity.

More like I don't really like watching people fangirl once it starts getting weird and pseudo-sexual, especially if the guy's dead. I like Tesla as much as the next guy, but... there's lines, y'know?

Sad, but true.

I don't think I meet the prereqs. :/


There is no try, only do.
Does trying not to be Amidus count?
I've been looking for that warranty paper for years. There was a warranty!
We voided that a long time ago, I think. If not on purpose, then by accident, for sure.

You came with a warranty? I never even got one of them... /jelly


I'd be perfectly fine showing off scars, but I think it's been proven that I have a bit of a skewed perspective on that sort of thing.

Well, that sucks. :\

.....Feel better, man. :smallfrown:

I'd show off scars if I had any that were interesting, all I've got is scars on my tongue which make me self-conscious about whether it makes my tongue feel less than good when kissing and a scar on my foot in the shape of a staple or square/box missing one side.

Indeed. :smallfrown:


You're just going to make me explode again... I don't think you want any guts around your room.

You will be sitting here all day, young laddie. Don't you dare to run away from me. :smallmad:

I think we'd all prefer keeping your innards in your inners.

Finally, the kind of punishment Amidus has been cruising for all along. Forced to finally sit still.


What makes you think this, daftball? :smallyuk:

Oh, Coidz won't be getting pancakes made by me for the rest of his life.

Because hope springs eternal and he's confident in his ability to schmooze or sneak them away from you.

... T_T Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! *sniff* why not? :smallfrown:


... Hrm. That word.

Indubitably. :smallamused:

I've never had berries before! Are they good?

[Teddy]

I've never had berries before! Are they good?

Otherwise I wouldn't be happy, would I? :smallwink:

That said, not necessarily. There is a cherry tree in the local park whose berries are utterly inedible. Every year, I think to myself "Are they actually as bad as I remember them, or have I just been exaggerating to myself?", and every year I try them once more and conclude that yes, they were actually just as horrible as I remember them.

They haven't quite ripened yet, so I can't repeat my annual tradition for yet a week or so...

[Dimonite]

Mmh, I've been dreaming of a golden retriever mixed with something. In the end I just want a dog that's excited to go out hiking for days and such.



I've always wanted a big, fluffy dog - like a Newfoundland, or a Samoyed.



Give me an example, or I won't believe you. :smallamused:


Well, I don't want to go into detail, but let's just say I'm not very nice to my friends IRL. Seriously, you can ask Gnomes2169 (the only forumite I know IRL) and he'll tell you I'm a terrible person.



Yeah, see, this is a difference in outlooks. Plus, you know, you haven't been a horrible person while on here, but rather friendly and with a good taste in cute avatars, so I fail to see why you shouldn't be on my positive side of zero.


Yeah, it's easier to be nice to people in such a nice environment. I mean, people are more likely to think through what they type than what they say out loud, so in a forum people in general are less stupid, which makes me nicer to them.

[LaZodiac]

Otherwise I wouldn't be happy, would I? :smallwink:

Also, correction. I've had strawberries once. I haaaated them X_X

[Coidzor]

Elle:
Six foot you say? That makes you taller than me depending on how slumped my back is at any given moment.

Hmm... As the only person here who I know for certain who also has a beard, I'm going to suggest you do what you feel comfortable with while I continue my amazing quest of getting around to shaving.

Actually, in Australia the average height for a man is 5'10", whereas the average for a woman is 5'5", making the average for the entire population, as we have practically equivalent quantities of either gender, at 5'7 and a half".
So, 5'8" is average, but one would feel short among young men.

You need posture! Stat! :smalleek: Don't want to get bent over until you're Old Manandorf, and even then not if you can avoid it.

Well, I'm comfortable either way. Mostly just a thought that crossed my mind since I was going to be seeing an old friend again that I haven't seen in ages and I kinda dig her but she's bringing along her sister and it's not like anything could happen anyway because we're going to be around a group of friends all evening anyway.

Hmm, yeah, that makes a bit of sense, actually, though I've never actually heard of anyone combining the sexes for determining average height before. :smallconfused:


Not really, see above. Europeans are on average taller than people of asiatic descent, particularly in the north of Europe. Britain has a higher concentration of Scandinavian height genes than other places in Europe that aren't Scandinavian, so British people tend to be taller than French people, but shorter than Scandinavians, and for some reason Dutch people, and thus so are Australians and New Zealanders.
That was not particularly coherent, but it's all down to a combination of genetics and diet.

Dem Scandinavian longshanks. :smallamused:


We are saved from such an unfortunate fate due to the sheer fact that gravity doesn't work that way.

According to two seconds of research on Wikipedia, you should try either the Dinaric Alps or the Netherlands.

Quite. Lucky stroke, that.

Hmm. Now if only I wasn't both scared and fascinated by the Netherlands. I suppose that I am a smidgen Dutch, though I can't remember if we even remember what subtype of lowlander or area we hailed from.


Sparkles and rainbow unicorns? Really Rawhide? In this economy?

We could just build a new corner. Then we won't have the need to throw around emoticons and debate geometry!

Really the worse the economy gets, the more one has to set one's self aside from the masses in order to be fancy properly and rub in one's opulence.

Backbreaking labor and battling creatures from the dungeon dimensions? Sounds like fun.


Because people who are terrible at art often lack confidence in their art and don't exhibit it as a result. Sure, there are plenty of terrible artists out there who do show off their work, but that's a small percentage of the greater whole who are more concerned with how people perceive them and don't want to be perceived as a terrible artist. Hence why most people don't sing in public unless they're either inebriated or singing with in a group. Goes the same with dancing.

I need to take up dancing again. Also actually start working on that drawing crap. Oh, so many things to do and so much to procrastinate with.


Hmm... I haven't worn a flannel shirt in years. Where does the time go these days?

Why not?

Elepapa has sweet beard? Sweet. The Cookzor what spawned me, has a demi-Santa Claus himself. I need a better nickname for him...

Why do people keep saying that?It's almost like there's some kind of conspiracy to keep me scared of ever looking at what's under my beard. Next thing you know, they'll be telling me that there's no chin underneath my beard, only more beard or something... :smallconfused: I honestly don't think my beard would properly mountain-man out anyway, since it goes curly the more there is of it.

Neatness of my beard? :smallconfused: What pictures have you been looking at? It's a scruffdom in thar. :smalltongue:


You know what's most depressing about one of your friend's relatives going broke looking for uranium? The fact that I don't think a single relative of mine has ever had enough money to noticeably go broke until recent times.

Apparently, all the money that my mother's relatives must have had in the past was not inherited by her branch of the family.

Well, he's descended from the guy who lost New Amsterdam because he was so unlikeable no one would fight the British with him. Or descended from someone immediately related to him anyway, so there's apparently a long line of people making and losing fortunes in that family, since on the other side he's actually traceable to William the Conqueror's inner circle of Bros.

I just found out yesterday actually that one of my great-great grandparents was a bastard who became a self-made man and one of the wealthier people in the state he was living in. I'm from the American South though, so it's about 50-50 whether any person around here who has roots that go far back enough in the country has connections to some relation who lost everything as a result of the Civil War or its after-math.

Ouch. That's never fun. :smallfrown:


Yeah, that's a problem with the purebreds. We had a couple of Alsatians back in the day (about 13 in all? I forget. My mum sort-of bred them) and they pretty much all had hip problems.

I think you'll have to go mix-breed in that case. We had a bull terrier/rottweiler mix. Sounds scary, right? Friendliest dog in the world.

Although... she got attacked by a bulldog once. Ripped out his throat. And then trotted back to me for belly rubs. Heh.

I prefer mix-breed or straight-up mutt myself. But, then again, only one of my dogs was pure-bred and she was a gift from family friends who were breeders. Good dog, aside from thinking she was a person and not liking other dogs to get within 100 feet of us. Was one of those ones that tried to imitate human speech from time to time too, especially if she knew you were teasing her.

That... was not a fun mess to clean up, I imagine. :smalleek:


Personally I used to hate that breed for a long while but now that I'm older I realise it wasn't the dogs' fault they were horrible, but my neighbour's... They kept their gate open all the time and if you went near the dogs would literally come and bite your rear. And they were breeders too, euch.

Heh, my grandparents used to have a rottweiler. She was the kindest little thing ever, apparently. Just wanted more scratches and wasn't bothered by anyone. My grandpa really spoiled all of his dogs... :smalltongue:

Yikes! That's horrible :smalleek: And bizarre that they'd risk dogs like that as breeders. :smallconfused:

My grandma had a spoiled rotten rottweiler when I was growing up. She didn't realize that she weighed almost 100 pounds and thought she was just a lap dog and was the sweetest thing. I don't think I ever managed to make her upset even when I was little and would hug on her and play with her ears. Probably the sweetest dog I've know, really.

Also, correction. I've had strawberries once. I haaaated them X_X

What? How is that possible?
...
Right, I suppose there's a very low chance that those strawberries were locally grown, and far-travelled strawberries never taste as good...

Also, when you first said "berries", I thought you just meant "cherries" and not "any types of berries whatsoever", to which my only possible response is "Wow...". I mean, don't you have anything growing around where you live?


Quite. I'm jealous of people with train systems that have actually been kept up to date and properly organized.

Well, "up to date" is a stretch (neglected maintenance, and since we were some of the first to electrify our national railways, the very underlying architecture is a bit dated, to say the least), but yeah, it works and it usually works quite well, and it's getting better. I actually find it hard to envision a country without some form of national rail communications for passengers...


Why not do better? :smallconfused:

Because I'm a perfectionist. By forcing myself to do a hasty job, I can ensure that I actually get done before the topic has long gone dead (or at all, really). Plus, the sketchiness itself add a certain layer of homeliness which probably will go away if I start to mess around with it too much...


Almost. :smallwink:

Hmm, I wonder what the limit of f(n) = almost f(n-1) is when n approaches infinity and f(0) = 1...


Nice. Happy bear is best bear. :smallbiggrin:

No! She's actually Icelandical! SHE LIED, AND THEREFORE YOU ARE WRONG.:smalltongue::smallamused:

Haha, you guys need planes to move around/through oceans! :smalltongue: So silly.

... Then why don't you do it. :small pout: *obnoxious cockney accent all the French children have*

Bra' Amidus, or whu'd Amidus?:smallbiggrin:



Well, you don't have to like everything just because it holds a high quality...

Almost almost? So, like halfway and a little more, but not three quarter-ways?

Yeah, but I've always found those scenes a bit too silly and unrealistic to take seriously, so no, I still can't think of it as kissing.

Oh, no, I didn't mean it in a sexual sense. I'm just trying to categorise dog lickings as kissing, but my head just won't let me, a twists and warps my mental images as a result.High art is the epitome of sucky thought. 20 minutes of silence is not music.... And Bart Simpson could compose something better.:smalltongue:

Purty much, yeah. Closer to 3/4 than 1/2, but si.

Very dumb scenes, those. Stupid, too.:smalltongue: If Tom Hanks thinks its dumb, it's really up there.

STATIC. (Super hero Static Shock?:smalltongue:)


Give me an example, or I won't believe you. :smallamused:

Yeah, see, this is a difference in outlooks. Plus, you know, you haven't been a horrible person while on here, but rather friendly and with a good taste in cute avatars, so I fail to see why you shouldn't be on my positive side of zero.

Why? Wear you scar with pride, don't hide it. I mean, they're a record of your life, they tell stories of where you've been and what happened to you. Plus, IIRC, scars fade faster when exposed to sunlight.

Wow, tough break. Really tough break. I can't say I have any experience in anything of which you talk about, and I'm not a very good consoler, but at least I think I know how to listen, and can at least analyse and consider a situation rather well...

What I guess it all boils down to is: What do you need of your friend? I mean, apart from existing?Hmn... Well, he gets bitten by friends. Only a true fiend would inspire such a reaction.:smallamused:

I agree with Dimo. But then, I tend to interpret everyone as making a good first impression, so in application I lean to Teddy-itis.

Yeaaah, look it mah giant scar on my face that's shaped like a golf club and is ugleee! :smallbiggrin:

Sadness.:smallfrown: I would go "vent to me /Bale voice", but iPad sucks at that. That is a load of lame, though.

Them to feed me. Duh.:smallamused::smallbiggrin:



Nah, it's fine, but you need to excert enough self control to no overdo it. A general guideline I've yet to test on myself is that if you're having fun, you probably don't need another glass. Now I just need a party to try it out on...

5'7" according to Wikipedia...

And yes, people were somewhat shorter back in the day, mostly due to malnutrition, if I remember correctly...

It's "Guten Nacht!", actually. Germany is obnoxious and has no less than three grammatical genders. Also, nouns are always written with a captial first letter, which honestly isn't especially confusing at all as soon as you've learned it yourself...
Why do I even care about educating people in the German language? I mean, I can barely speak it myself...But the booze could be tricking you! IT LIIIEES. DRINK CIDERRRRR. BETTER.

Around there, yeah. Point it out in three history classes whose books say he was short, suffer for Et!:smalltongue:

Yes. Also also, working in coal mines sucks.:smalltongue:

I already responded to you! Shoo!:smallmad:

[LaZodiac]

No, I mean, in the forests, or the marshes, or whatever type of landscape you have around your town. I mean, our forests have tons of berries in them. Literally.

Ahhh. Well, I don't know myself, but I wouldn't want to risk eating berries I couldn't identify. Also that'd require leaving the city.

[Coidzor]

Yha, we don't...actually have much of anything home grown up here! Like, at all. Mom's partner has tomatoes and potatoes in his garden I guess but they're just for him to eat. So like...we don't have anything home grown up here :smalltongue:

You should look into some gardening of your own then. Be good for you and good stuff to learn. :smallwink: Plus it segues nicely with cooking for yourself.


Ahhh. Well, I don't know myself, but I wouldn't want to risk eating berries I couldn't identify. Also that'd require leaving the city.

What's wrong with hiking? :smalltongue: I think it'd do you some good. Fresh air. Clean living. Good for the constitution.


Well, "up to date" is a stretch (neglected maintenance, and since we were some of the first to electrify our national railways, the very underlying architecture is a bit dated, to say the least), but yeah, it works and it usually works quite well, and it's getting better. I actually find it hard to envision a country without some form of national rail communications for passengers...

Because I'm a perfectionist. By forcing myself to do a hasty job, I can ensure that I actually get done before the topic has long gone dead (or at all, really). Plus, the sketchiness itself add a certain layer of homeliness which probably will go away if I start to mess around with it too much...

Ah. Unfortunate, but still better than what we have to deal with where we... don't really have that, with at best some regional access and an only theoretical ability to get from coast to coast.

That makes sense, yeah. Important thing is to be having fun and being true to yerself, I suppose.


Hmm, I wonder what the limit of f(n) = almost f(n-1) is when n approaches infinity and f(0) = 1...

[Teddy]

Whoops, I think I may've forgotten you, Dimo...

Well, I don't want to go into detail, but let's just say I'm not very nice to my friends IRL. Seriously, you can ask Gnomes2169 (the only forumite I know IRL) and he'll tell you I'm a terrible person.

Then isn't it wonderful how the Internet lets you become someone else than who you are in the physical reality? Or at least another you? :smallsmile:


Yeah, it's easier to be nice to people in such a nice environment. I mean, people are more likely to think through what they type than what they say out loud, so in a forum people in general are less stupid, which makes me nicer to them.

Well, I've never had to come into contact with your physical self, so for me, all I've seen of you is just a nice person. Hence, I see no reason not to esteem you.

I mean, if you're crass, you could claim that whoever you are offline isn't "Dimonite", but I'll leave that up to you to decide.


Actually, it'd be
...
that.:smallfrown: Durn A-wake at time-late foreigners of foreignlandia.

Now you feel my pain.


Haha, you guys need planes to move around/through oceans! :smalltongue: So silly.

Not really, we only use planes because they're fast and, strangely enough, relatively cheap. There's more or less no journey across Europe you couldn't do solely by train, and there are plenty of ferries across any of the significant waters. Plus bridges. And tunnels.


... Then why don't you do it. :small pout: *obnoxious cockney accent all the French children have*

See my response to Coidz.

High art is the epitome of sucky thought. 20 minutes of silence is not music.... And Bart Simpson could compose something better.:smalltongue:

Now, don't confuse quality with experimental arts. There's plenty of the first which isn't the second, and there's plenty of the second which most definitely doesn't have the first. And Downton Abbey most definitely isn't the second. :smallwink:


Purty much, yeah. Closer to 3/4 than 1/2, but si.

Oh, you think so? :smallamused:

:smallredface:


STATIC. (Super hero Static Shock?:smalltongue:)

Yes, static. My brain is silly like that. If I'm a superhero, it most definitely isn't for my ability to produce static noise, however. :smallwink:


Yeaaah, look it mah giant scar on my face that's shaped like a golf club and is ugleee! :smallbiggrin:

You have a golf club shaped scar? Tell me more! :smallinterested:


Sadness.:smallfrown: I would go "vent to me /Bale voice", but iPad sucks at that. That is a load of lame, though.

I totally would to, but, well, I don't want to intrude and create expectations I can't live up to, so I must ask first.


Them to feed me. Duh.:smallamused::smallbiggrin:

Oh, Sheep, you're so delightfully silly. :smallbiggrin:


But the booze could be tricking you! IT LIIIEES. DRINK CIDERRRRR. BETTER.

Yes it lies, but so does the cider (if you go by the European definition). Only by holding fast of the truth can you prevail. Otherwise, you should stick to the soft drinks.


Around there, yeah. Point it out in three history classes whose books say he was short, suffer for Et!:smalltongue:

The truth comes at a high price. *nods*


I already responded to you! Shoo!:smallmad:

*shuffles out of Sheepy conversation*


Ahhh. Well, I don't know myself, but I wouldn't want to risk eating berries I couldn't identify. Also that'd require leaving the city.

Sadly, I don't know enough of your Canadian flora to help, so that's a shame. The second argument isn't even an argument. If anything, it should be an argument for going out and picking berries. :smallwink:


Ah. Unfortunate, but still better than what we have to deal with where we... don't really have that, with at best some regional access and an only theoretical ability to get from coast to coast.

Yeah, I still can't wrap my head around how passenger trains isn't a thing in Amerika. But then again, it's the blessed country of automotion, I suppose it has its explanations...


:smallamused:

So, the answer is :smallamused:?
...
You know, that actually makes sense. Almost. :smallwink:


I have flat feet there are too many bugs I'm lazy outdoors is scary and gross and I might get sick from stuff. Also my constitution is like a natural 8, I don't think I can do it any good :smalltongue:

So does dad, you just need proper arch support. Most bugs who don't have it in their best interest to stay away from you anyway can be repelled with the proper repellants, which generally are easy to buy in mosquito-rich areas. Laziness isn't an argument to not try. The outdoors isn't scary at all, you should just avoid going anywhere where you aren't absolutely sure you'll find your way back from, and the only thing which qualifies as gross is walking down into a marsh, and that's very easily avoided, especially when it hasn't rained for a little while. And sicknesses is causes by viruses and bacteria, and unless you cut a deep wound into yourself and rub it with dirt, you'll be very unlikely to find any of it out there. Also, how do you ever think you're going to get a better constitution by sitting inside? :smallwink:


If it suits thy fancy I may perhaps provide a boat of not modest proportions for such an endeavourous day, if the wonders of the lake itself are in the expanse of thy planning.

Bug repellent has never worked for me, I'm far too succulent.

As a clumsy person who lives in a place where nature is "rocks and tree's growing out of rocks and high drops onto rocks and tree's growing out of rocks", it is scary. And I can barely navigate the streets, let alone a forest, so I wouldn't be able to get home at all XP

That last point and the other points I didn't mention are valid though.

Look: we shall become drunk enough before the expedition that you not be afraid, but not quite enough that you become clumsy. I know this terrain you describe: it is most enjoyable for a sort of wilderness parkour!

[TaiLiu]

So after Saturday evening, this was my Sunday:

1) Woke up
2) Wished I was dead
3) Called my mother and told her I loved her
4) Went to sleep again

Alcohol is the devil's juice, children. Remember this.
That's... That's less than ideal.

Not really, see above. Europeans are on average taller than people of Asiatic descent, particularly in the north of Europe. Britain has a higher concentration of Scandinavian height genes than other places in Europe that aren't Scandinavian, so British people tend to be taller than French people, but shorter than Scandinavians, and for some reason Dutch people, and thus so are Australians and New Zealanders.
That was not particularly coherent, but it's all down to a combination of genetics and diet.
Oo, that reminds me of the time a bunch of fire fighters ran into my house. They had to bend down at the doorway!

Nah. The height averages are the same as the USA. There's just more regional variance over there. Plus a larger population always results in the statistically less likely to become more noticeable.
Hm. I suppose my environment does influence my perception of height as well.

[Teddy]

Bug repellent has never worked for me, I'm far too succulent.

I want to see your nature now, because this just sounds as cool as possibly conceivable. And the wonderful part about the forest is that you don't actually have to stray far from the path to experience it to start with. And since there often is just one obvious way home with few to no alternatives, I consider it way easier to get lost in a city than to get lost in the outskirts of a forest.

[Amidus Drexel]

Whaddya expect, being all cranky and not respecting the new inhabitant in the corner? Naughty boys never get their pancakes!

You will be sitting here all day, young laddie. Don't you dare to run away from me. :smallmad:

Well sorry my glorious excellency, Mr. BlueJeans Drexel. :smalltongue: Didn't exactly have a jean colour at handy.


YOU BROUGHT PLANTS INTO MY CORNER AND THREATENED TO PAINT IT.

Standing, madam.

No blue? I mean, it's a hideous colour, yes, but I would have thought you'd have it.



You're a good artist from another point of view, you know.

You better stop trying, because it's reality now. :smallamused:

WELL, SORREEH. I was supposed to use olive green but accidentally picked up the wrong one and when I started colouring the mistake had already happened. Sheesh, ya idiot, nothing will make you satisfied... And you dared to think you had a chance with the pancakes!

I don't think anyone here has ever heard me play... you'd have no way of knowing. I could be horrible, you never know. :smalltongue:

I wasn't complaining... just pointing out inaccuracies. :smalltongue:



You know... Ever since you mentioned this 'burg of yours, I've been trying to determine which city you meant. At first I thought: Fredericksburg, easy geography for anyone who knows Virginia exists. And then I checked my atlas, and found a whole bunch of others, and now I'm not certain...
Yes, there's Fredericksburg, but there's also Lynchburg, Harrisonburg, Petersburg, Williamsburg, Leesburg, Blacksburg, Christiansburg and Strasburg.
And that's not even counting all the ones that are smaller in population. Now I know even less about the Commonwealth of Virginia than I did when I started!

It depends on the scar. Some end up being cool, whereas others are more disfiguring. I'm missing part of two of my fingerprints because of fire, whereas the scar on my hand has turned out nicely.


The one I'm normally referring to is on that list. (as for which one, you'll have to guess or try to work out). Au contrare; you know more, but realize that even your greater knowledge is proportionately less than you thought it was.

Even disfiguring scars wouldn't bother me. It could be an ugly gash down the side of my face and I wouldn't care.



Sadly I think there is. You're just too Amidus now. There's no going back.

More like I don't really like watching people fangirl once it starts getting weird and pseudo-sexual, especially if the guy's dead. I like Tesla as much as the next guy, but... there's lines, y'know?

Sad, but true.

I don't think I meet the prereqs. :/


I'm about as Amidus as it gets. :smallcool:

Indeed. *shudder* :smalleek:

Who cares about their opinions? I like 'em for the 'staches. :smallcool: Karl Marx, man. That is a beard.

It's pretty easy, you've just got to put a few ranks into Perform (string instruments). You can probably skip putting anything into Perform (singing/acting). :smallamused:



You came with a warranty? I never even got one of them... /jelly

I'd show off scars if I had any that were interesting, all I've got is scars on my tongue which make me self-conscious about whether it makes my tongue feel less than good when kissing and a scar on my foot in the shape of a staple or square/box missing one side.

Finally, the kind of punishment Amidus has been cruising for all along. Forced to finally sit still.


It was a 30 day thing. They wouldn't take me back afterwards.

I've got scars on my hands. There's a cut that I'm not sure how I got it (although I do remember where and when), and a few on my knuckles from my sandpapery punching bag. (seriously, that's the roughest cloth I've ever seen. It's like punching the rough side of a sponge).

ION: I'll be going to WVA tomorrow, and staying for a few days.

Notice how that doesn't have any exclamation marks. That's because WVA is boring as hell. There's no plan, and I'm going to probably try to pass the time with music and GBA games. No internet or cell service in much of the state either.

Ahhhh, Zodalicious, your photograph gives me happy thoughts. Your stone's colour is less pink and more blue, but it's just like the landscape in eastern Manitoba and western Ontario. It's the biome where my heart feels most at home and content.

Teddy should you tour Canada, you must seek this biome: for leaping and frolicking and juniper-sniffing and blueberry-eating.

Excellent! I assume this boat is used to the sea, and the salt sprays stirred up thence: but no less pleasure shall greet us in such an expanse of crisp fresh granite-basined lake water, deep and cold and dark and delicious.

Duty is heavier than a mountain.

Teddy should you tour Canada, you must seek this biome: for leaping and frolicking and juniper-sniffing and blueberry-eating.

There are some really good places behind MHS, near "the park that was formaly Pettato Park but got renamed because Captain Pettato was apparently a really bad person and I forget the native name they changed it to" area. Since I'm the only Knifer in this forum I am the only one who knows what I'm talking about. Maybe once I get a camera I'll go out to atleast take pictures of it for you guys.

Make sure it's summer otherwise you'll be neck deep in snow and rocks and dead tree's.

[Coidzor]

Oh, you think so? :smallamused:
...
:smallredface:

:smallwink: Everyone loves Teddy. He just doesn't realize it yet. :smallamused:


Oh, Sheep, you're so delightfully silly. :smallbiggrin:

Yes it lies, but so does the cider (if you go by the European definition). Only by holding fast of the truth can you prevail. Otherwise, you should stick to the soft drinks.

The truth comes at a high price. *nods*

Isn't he just? :smallbiggrin:

I like cider. I often wonder if mulled cider is even a thing in Europe anymore or if it's completely apocryphal that our recipes are descended from ones brought over by immigrants.

Mulled cider is good.

Too high a price, sadly, sometimes. Or at least lies manage to make themselves look cheaper with advertising.


Yeah, I still can't wrap my head around how passenger trains isn't a thing in Amerika. But then again, it's the blessed country of automotion, I suppose it has its explanations...

So, the answer is :smallamused:?
...
You know, that actually makes sense. Almost. :smallwink:

It's quite sad, really.

Now you've got it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvD9TawMqCY)

Excellent! I assume this boat is used to the sea, and the salt sprays stirred up thence: but no less pleasure shall greet us in such an expanse of crisp fresh granite-basined lake water, deep and cold and dark and delicious.Used to salt? This very yacht was BORN into salt, and it has lived for its 30 more years in it. Braving three earthquake tides and survived a ramming by a speedboat into it. I think it should be able to tolerate my kidnapping of it into soft Canadian waters by comparison with quite a delight.

Duty is heavier than a mountain.A lot less climbable and ignorable as well I must say.

I'm afraid I have fallen into a rather engrossing love affair with Dwarf Fortress these past few weeks.Afraid? No, that's not quite enough... Panic should be nearest to it.

Once you go dwarf you don't go back....

Make sure it's summer otherwise you'll be neck deep in snow and rocks and dead tree's.Is the fact that those three things sound absolutely wonderful weird?

[LaZodiac]

Is the fact that those three things sound absolutely wonderful weird?

Not particularly no, I think I'm the weird one in all this truth be told!

[Coidzor]

No blue? I mean, it's a hideous colour, yes, but I would have thought you'd have it.

I don't think anyone here has ever heard me play... you'd have no way of knowing. I could be horrible, you never know. :smalltongue:

T_T What's wrong with blue?

I'd have sworn you linked us to a demo of yours a while back. Hm. Why not? :smallconfused:


Even disfiguring scars wouldn't bother me. It could be an ugly gash down the side of my face and I wouldn't care.

What if it was one where food fell out? :smallamused:


I'm about as Amidus as it gets. :smallcool:

Indeed. *shudder* :smalleek:

Who cares about their opinions? I like 'em for the 'staches. :smallcool: Karl Marx, man. That is a beard.

It's pretty easy, you've just got to put a few ranks into Perform (string instruments). You can probably skip putting anything into Perform (singing/acting). :smallamused:

That you are. That you are. *pat pat* Which one is this again, guys? I haven't seen magenta in a while...

Quite.

You sure like mustaches. (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/songs/Moustaches/) :smalltongue:

Oh, yeah, see, none of my perform ranks went into strings.


It was a 30 day thing. They wouldn't take me back afterwards.

I've got scars on my hands. There's a cut that I'm not sure how I got it (although I do remember where and when), and a few on my knuckles from my sandpapery punching bag. (seriously, that's the roughest cloth I've ever seen. It's like punching the rough side of a sponge).

ION: I'll be going to WVA tomorrow, and staying for a few days.

Notice how that doesn't have any exclamation marks. That's because WVA is boring as hell. There's no plan, and I'm going to probably try to pass the time with music and GBA games. No internet or cell service in much of the state either.

My pa always makes fun of me about that too, yeah.

I think you're supposed to wrap your hands at least with punching bags if not wearing gloves. :smalltongue:

Oh my. Any particular region? I always find it amusing that there's actually a state park/tourist trap called Bear City.

Good hiking if you can manage it, but unless you are there during hunting season and like it, fishing season and like it, or like hiking... Not much there, no. Visiting relatives? :smalltongue:

[enderlord99]

Is the fact that those three things sound absolutely wonderful weird?

That depends on whether you are literally mostly buried in rocks and dead trees or the "neck deep" thing was a metaphor.

I'm going to guess the second, which means, no, it's not weird.

[Amidus Drexel]

This exchange is very amusing, because dear Finnapple is taking rather egregious liberties with your personal space and then taking rather egregious offense at your indignities. :smallbiggrin:

Indeed. :smallbiggrin:

Of course, I don't think I can do much about it now. :smallamused:



T_T What's wrong with blue?

I'd have sworn you linked us to a demo of yours a while back. Hm. Why not? :smallconfused:

Blue is a hideous colour. It's unnatural and gaudy. I don't like it.

I made mention of it, but I've not put up any links that I'm aware of. Once it's finished being mixed I'll put it up.

That's an entirely different thing. That's no longer just a scar; that's an impairing deformity. :smalltongue:

The southern part, I think.

Nope. Here, I'll give you our plan:

[Teddy]

Don't ever ever ever do it. Never. Ever. Nope. Don't do it.

This. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're addictive. Something about students abusing them or something...


Post redaction time is exponential, the more time it takes you to post the more posts happen and force you to redact more... and so on... I think it could be modelled after the compound interest formula...

Well, I don't actually redact any posts, I just don't like having any posts I've yet to quote before a post I'm making. So it's more the buffer problem, it solves itself as soon as the pressure decreases, but for as long as it doesn't, it just keeps growing.


Teddy should you tour Canada, you must seek this biome: for leaping and frolicking and juniper-sniffing and blueberry-eating.

Oh yes, I will. But I fear your oversea blueberries may disappoint me. Wikipedia tell me they're both less juicy and rich in flavour than our European kind...


I'm afraid I have fallen into a rather engrossing love affair with Dwarf Fortress these past few weeks.

Oh, how delightful! Say, how many microline artifacts have your peasants blessed you with yet? Or are you more of a yak bone kind? :smallwink:

Mulled cider is good.

Yes, that's the must I was talking about a few days ago. Certainly a thing over here, but mostly passed on to history except in the few cases when someone mantles the burden of carrying on the tradition. Like a friend of our family, for example. Mmm, must...

EDIT:
Derp, forgot to edit out this one. I'll explain in my next post.


Too high a price, sadly, sometimes. Or at least lies manage to make themselves look cheaper with advertising.

Cheap, mass-produced lies. *mutters*


It's quite sad, really.

Yeah, and especially hard for an old Railroad Tycoon veteran like me to grasp. I mean, you have the 4-4-0 American, the 2-8-0 Consolidation, the... You built your country on the railroad! It was the arteries and veins that kept your life blood flowing! How can you not go by train!? :smalldramaticallyconfused:


Now you've got it. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvD9TawMqCY)

Heh. :smallamused:


Not particularly no, I think I'm the weird one in all this truth be told!

Actually, judging from my peers, I'd say you're the normal one, only surrounded by oddies and misfits.

[AsteriskAmp]

This. Plus, I'm pretty sure they're addictive. Something about students abusing them or something...Yes, United States students mostly from my knowledge.

In here caffeine abuse is the normal method. Though weird procedures like Ice-to-Eyes and electroshock are not exactly unheard of.

Well, I don't actually redact any posts, I just don't like having any posts I've yet to quote before a post I'm making. So it's more the buffer problem, it solves itself as soon as the pressure decreases, but for as long as it doesn't, it just keeps growing.I meant redaction as in writing it up.

[Teddy]

Blue is a hideous colour. It's unnatural and gaudy. I don't like it.

I suppose you spend every morning raging at the sky, then? :smallwink:

Unless you live in one of those eternally clouded over parts, but even with my scant knowledge of American geography, I don't think that's the case for you, right?


Yes, United States students mostly from my knowledge.

Yeah, although it's spreading. There's been some talk about measures over here in local media, so at least they consider it a threat enough already..


In here caffeine abuse is the normal method. Though weird procedures like Ice-to-Eyes and electroshock are not exactly unheard of.
I meant redaction as in writing it up.

I'm not sure caffeine even is considered an abusable substance...

And the ice-to-eyes I can get behind. I do the same, except with my watch when waking up (it has just enough cold stored in it to get me out of bed), and then cold water when I get to the bedroom, both as a part of my regular morning routine (the third, optional part is to stare at bright light (but not directly into the sun) until I sneeze. Removes any residual sleepiness from my eyes).

The electroshocks seem a bit too drastic and generally overcomplicated for me to understand why you'd want to do it in the first case. I mean, when there is caffeine...


It's true, you know. :smallamused:

Yeah, one day I'll finally get used to this. One day...


Yeah, and the railroads here are still used for freight (almost entirely, really). Passenger rail is notoriously unreliable, and fairly expensive.

And even then, your freight engines are run down and can't brake properly in five cases out of six (I probably should stop making broad generalisations based on highly limited data sets taken from documentaries on massive disasters). :smallwink:


Everyone is odd. :smallcool:

And that's just how I love it! :smallbiggrin:

@mulled cider (because I missed that Wikipedia redirected me to "Apple cider"):
No, mulled cider isn't much of a thing over here, probably because Europe is flowing with wine, and mulled wine in all its forms is already deeply ingrained in our culture, so there's no need for an alternative. That said, I have this memory of a taste looming around at the back of my head, which could come from what you call mulled cider, but I can't place it, and it's too unclear for me to verify that it actually regards heated, spiced apple juice, and not mixed memories or just something entirely different...

[AsteriskAmp]

Yeah, although it's spreading. There's been some talk about measures over here in local media, so at least they consider it a threat enough already..Interesting.

I'm not sure caffeine even is considered an abusable substance...Coke-Cola, on red bull with added coffee mix is one of the oddest formulas I've heard but apparently everyone has one of their own.

I myself have grown accustomed to it because of tea to the point it has no effect on me. That or my metabolism was just ridiculous from the start.

But I DO believe there is such a thing as caffeine addiction.

And the ice-to-eyes I can get behind. I do the same, except with my watch when waking up (it has just enough cold stored in it to get me out of bed), and then cold water when I get to the bedroom, both as a part of my regular morning routine (the third, optional part is to stare at bright light (but not directly into the sun) until I sneeze. Removes any residual sleepiness from my eyes).Your method of waking up sounds almost absolutely Spartan.

I prefer warm tea with milk and the slow opening of the curtains by the maids while Barbieri plays on the background.

The electroshocks seem a bit too drastic and generally overcomplicated for me to understand why you'd want to do it in the first case. I mean, when there is caffeine...Because some people like the feeling of electrical shock?

I much prefer an alternate method, high volume energized J-Pop (during night headphones are required).

[Amidus Drexel]

And yet you wear it regularly. Truly you are a strange lemur, Simon.

Aww. What's taking that mix anyway? :smallconfused: It seems like you guys recorded 3 months ago now.


Only for jeans. I have exactly one blue shirt, and it's more of a slate colour. Blue jeans are acceptable; most of mine are so worn they're barely blue anymore or dark enough that I don't really notice anyways.

We started three months ago. We finished at the end of may/beginning of june, and Robin's been busy with moving, recording and practicing with one of his bands (which I have put a link up for), and vacationing in AZ. It really won't take too long once he's got the time to do it, but he's been largely indisposed this month.

Belly dancing and underwater basket-weaving, I bet. :smallwink:

I try not to look at it very much, honestly. Also, there's another reason I like winter; the sky is frequently solid white, instead of this annoying blue colour.

:smalltongue:

They work fine. I haven't heard of any train wrecks in a looong time. There haven't been any around here that I remember.

[Rawhide]

Oh, no, I didn't mean it in a sexual sense. I'm just trying to categorise dog lickings as kissing, but my head just won't let me, a twists and warps my mental images as a result.

Odd. I've grown up with this. Everyone I know (who has had reason to mention it) has categorised a dog lick as the equivalent of a kiss.

[enderlord99]

Odd. I've grown up with this. Everyone I know (who has had reason to mention it) has categorised a dog lick as the equivalent of a kiss.

Same here. Of course, I've also heard that they just do that because of the sodium in your skin. It's probably both, really.

[Teddy]

Coke-Cola, on red bull with added coffee mix is one of the oddest formulas I've heard but apparently everyone has one of their own.

Sounds like the "Three Day SomethingSomething" I heard about from a friend once, although I'm not sure Red Bull was a part of it, as it may've been some other ingredient. Coffee and Coka-Cola definitely was, however.


I myself have grown accustomed to it because of tea to the point it has no effect on me. That or my metabolism was just ridiculous from the start.

Probably the first, acclimatisation is a thing, after all. Not that I would rule out the second.

Meanwhile, I managed to caffeine poison myself for the first time about a month and a half ago. That was an interesting experience...


But I DO believe there is such a thing as caffeine addiction.

Oh, definitely. I mean, I could ask any Swede and probably have a greater than 50% likelyhood of getting a yes to if they are. I just don't consider addiction the same as abuse.


Your method of waking up sounds almost absolutely Spartan.

Not really. All of these steps are actually rather liberating.


I prefer warm tea with milk and the slow opening of the curtains by the maids while Barbieri plays on the background.

See, at least some of these would probably be more likely to make me fall back into sleep again. Plus, I'm pretty sure it'd cut even further into my morning schedule.


Because some people like the feeling of electrical shock?

Perchance, but by what simple way to you aquire one?


I much prefer an alternate method, high volume energized J-Pop (during night headphones are required).

Well, I'm not much for trying to study under too intensive music, so I just stick to my favourite music put on at lowest volume in my headphones. In the middle of the night, it still feels like it's blasted at my eardrums anyway.


They work fine. I haven't heard of any train wrecks in a looong time. There haven't been any around here that I remember.

There was a rather major one two days ago, but that was in Canada...


Odd. I've grown up with this. Everyone I know (who has had reason to mention it) has categorised a dog lick as the equivalent of a kiss.

A sign of affection? Sure (even though I think of it more on the level of hugging). Making out? No way.

[Mutant Sheep]

Odd. I've grown up with this. Everyone I know (who has had reason to mention it) has categorised a dog lick as the equivalent of a kiss.They are oft referred to as such by my aunts, but I always have a wide berth between "sexual kiss", as what was being mentioned, and "adorable doggy slobber lick". One is a lick, You see.:smalltongue:


I suppose you spend every morning raging at the sky, then? :smallwink:

Nowhere is like that. Not even poorly researched vampire/werewolf towns are like that. (Also, 'Murica is the land of sunshine and rainbows.)

Not Teddy's nerdtopia, filled with attractive people!:smalleek:
Note:The attractive people part is entirely extrapolated from Teddy, and assuming he is only slightly above average in his Swedish genetics experiment town.


I'm not sure caffeine even is considered an abusable substance...

The electroshocks seem a bit too drastic and generally overcomplicated for me to understand why you'd want to do it in the first case. I mean, when is caffeine...

If you'd still like everyone to make make-out propositions, just ask.:smalltongue::smallamused: /shall never make one for fear of being rejected by the most noble and stunningly handsome Teddy:smallbiggrin:

When the hell did I start doing this sort of thing?:smallconfused: I blame Knee.:smallmad::smallbiggrin:

Oh, freight trains and inadequateness, how I know thee. Just this weekend, and by that, I mean the 5th, my family was trapped by two different freights. Me after the other. Both stopped completely at a major crossing of the tracks because some **** about the yard. Took an hour. Blocked traffic for ages. Screwed Harlem, and by extension, Odgen. Let alone the rest.:smallsigh: (Yay, I got to squeeze in a mention of my 4th! Yaaaay!)

Booze. All I may dissertate on the subject.:smallamused:

[Rawhide]

Think metaphorically. A doggy makeout is to a doggy kiss as a makeout is to a kiss. Long, involved, over-eager (or passionate for regular makeouts), and often very wet.

P.S. Unrelated, but how would you categorise these?

Meanwhile, I managed to caffeine poison myself for the first time about a month and a half ago. That was an interesting experience...You had a caffeine overdose and refuse to consider it an abusable substance?


Oh, definitely. I mean, I could ask any Swede and probably have a greater than 50% likelyhood of getting a yes to if they are. I just don't consider addiction the same as abuse.If you can overdose on it I'm pretty sure constant habit based compulsory consumption qualifies for abuse.

Not really. All of these steps are actually rather liberating.

See, at least some of these would probably be more likely to make me fall back into sleep again. Plus, I'm pretty sure it'd cut even further into my morning schedule.I on the other hand find soft mornings more liberating and able to appreciate that indeed I didn't die horribly in my sleep.

As for chance of me falling back asleep, that's what my cane is for, the maid prods me with it until I finally can stand on my own if I happen to fall asleep after tea.

Perchance, but by what simple way to you aquire one?Making yourself one is rather simple it seems, you just need a way to control the amperage and some disregard for safety, alternately, knocking in the electrical engineering faculty with cash on hand.

Well, I'm not much for trying to study under too intensive music, so I just stick to my favourite music put on at lowest volume in my headphones. In the middle of the night, it still feels like it's blasted at my eardrums anyway.I listen to exactly one song while studying and stock up on mints. The song and mint flavour vary depending on subject. It produces association between event and subject, so merely putting the same song back and eating a flavoured mint helps in terms of recalling; that and loci method for anything memory based.

High volume rapid alternation is for projects where I need to stay awake throughout it all. I never study past 12, heck, in all uni I've yet to pull an all nighter; proper planning seems to have taken care of that not happening nicely.

Strange bird that you are. :smallconfused:

Sounds like some of y'all need a nice visit from the motivation fairy/rubber hose. Taking months just to finish recording... Yikes! :smalleek: Might be a good idea to have more than one person who knows how to mix then, so you avoid having that kind of lynchpin dependency. I mean, what if Arizona eats him. A very real and horrifying possibility, that.

Hey, you're the guy whose sig said it. OK, so you said "comment titles" big difference. :smalltongue:

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe~ But underwater basket-weaving is more of a craft. :smalltongue:

Nuuuuu! Cutting yourself isn't the answer to life's pain, Amidus! :smallfrown:

Nothing good has ever come from fathers taking their children into the wilderness without explanation. Just... Just throwing that out there.

Women being gross. :smalltongue: Sure you can let them occasionally lick your face, but the lips? That's crossing the line.

There are pictures of men doing it too, as well as celebrities with their tongues out "kissing" little dogs.

But, at the same time as searching for that, I also read that it's not unsafe, from a germ standpoint. While it is definitely possible to contaminate yourself by kissing your dogs like that, it is apparently less likely than just touching a dog (skin to fur) or kissing another human. In fact, if you provide your dogs with good oral hygiene, they are apparently cleaner than most humans.

But, at the same time as searching for that, I also read that it's not unsafe, from a germ standpoint. While it is definitely possible to contaminate yourself by kissing your dogs like that, it is apparently less likely than just touching a dog (skin to fur) or kissing another human. In fact, if you provide your dogs with good oral hygiene, they are apparently cleaner than most humans.

Well, of course, but those were all pictures of women as near as I could tell.

They do have antiseptic saliva from eating carrion and the like for about as long as there have been furry dog-analogs, yes. It's still disgusting.

It's still disgusting.

No argument there.

Strange bird that you are. :smallconfused:

Sounds like some of y'all need a nice visit from the motivation fairy/rubber hose. Taking months just to finish recording... Yikes! :smalleek: Might be a good idea to have more than one person who knows how to mix then, so you avoid having that kind of lynchpin dependency. I mean, what if Arizona eats him. A very real and horrifying possibility, that.

Hey, you're the guy whose sig said it. OK, so you said "comment titles" big difference. :smalltongue:

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe~ But underwater basket-weaving is more of a craft. :smalltongue:

Nuuuuu! Cutting yourself isn't the answer to life's pain, Amidus! :smallfrown:

Nothing good has ever come from fathers taking their children into the wilderness without explanation. Just... Just throwing that out there.

I'm not Bird. That is one of my guitarists. :smalltongue:

It only took us 6 weeks to record, and it wasn't a matter of motivation so much as it was a matter of conflicting schedules. Robin had picked up a (rather nice) job during that time period, so we had to work around his erratic schedule, along with our own schedules. Honestly, I don't mind waiting a little longer for him to make them all sound nice; we got the opportunity to get some decent-quality recordings for dirt cheap, and the guy's on his summer vacation. *shrug* I mean, it's not like we're going to be millionaires off of a handful of songs - it's just nice to have something to show for it at all.

That wasn't a part of this colour, though, was my point. :smalltongue:

That's still a skill, as far as 3.5 is concerned. :smallwink:

Hrm? It's not so much cutting myself as it is not taking precautions against punching a rough surface. I've only walked away from the punching bag with bleeding knuckles once. :smalltongue:

The explanation is more like: "Let's go on a VACATION!" :smallamused:

To be fair, he really doesn't have a whole lot of time to plan stuff, and he's perfectly fine with not having a plan.

Kneenibble goes to your church? And your religion is called Guitarism?!:smalleek::small tongue:

[TaiLiu]

Kneenibble goes to your church? And your religion is called Guitarism?!:smalleek::small tongue:
The priests are called musicians, and the church is a bar. It is unique, indeed.

Now, I had a response to what you said pre-edit. :smalltongue:

If he does, I've never seen him. :smallamused:

:smalltongue: You'll always be a stork to me.

Ahh. Well, I hope he makes it back safely. Especially because I am curious as to your sound. :smalltongue:

You get some Vader (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsW9MlYu31g), just for that (http://video.adultswim.com/robot-chicken/this-deals-getting-worse-all-the-time.html).

It is, as far as Pun-Pun is concerned. :smallamused:

Once is one time too many. :smallfrown:

Oh dear. Hopefully it's not going to be like the Griswolds' vacations... :smalleek:

Ouch. I'm sorry to hear that. :smallfrown::smalleek::smallfrown:

Huh. One actually exists.

[enderlord99]

Huh. One actually exists.

Probably (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster). As far as I can tell, though, that's just the title of a song/album/whatever.

What a... stork contrast to reality. :smallamused:

I'm sure he'll be fine. He's got internet; how bad can it be? :smalltongue:

Heh :smallamused:

Meh. Pun-pun is a bit silly, if you ask me.

There's no need to dwell on one of many times I got pissed off at something. I calm myself down by becoming as fatigued as possible as quickly as possible; the steps in between there are just me making sure I don't break anything. I'm perfectly capable of dealing with raw knuckles - it's far from the most painful thing that's happened to me.

Don't worry about it. :smallwink:

Heh, no. I doubt we'll be doing anything nearly that exciting. :smallamused:

Nah. He's got a good job that he likes, and he's good at what he does. That's several steps up from most of the people I know. It doesn't really bother me.


Huh. One actually exists.

It's not even the first. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98I85ceICRM)

Also, the fact that my mind has been redirected to Bon Scott twice tonight is probably a sign of some sort, so I'm going to go listen to lots more AC/DC. :smallcool:

[Taet]

There are stranger churches. One has taken back the black velvet and satin and New Age symbols for decoration just because the people like the look of it. I wish I kept the picture. It looked like flavor text from Castle Ravenloft.

I will nod along with Amidus and the vacation that is taken without a plan. Did you know we are only two wrong turns away from Lake Berryessa? And that the road has very few places wide enough to turn around because it does not have other roads connecting to it? And that there are :smallsmile:s painted on the rocks whenever there is a road sign for a rock slide warning?

[TaiLiu]

It's not even the first.
Oh, my.

Black humour, I would imagine.

[Amidus Drexel]

Yeah, that was my cruise experience. :smalltongue:

Try to have fun, though!
I somehow missed this earlier... sorry 'bout that.
Heh :smallamused:

That's what I intend to do.

At the very least, no plans means more time to relax. :smallcool:


Oh, my.

Fun fact! Bon Scott's jump near the end of the video broke his foot.

[TaiLiu]

That's what I intend to do.
Excellent! Take photos for us!

...Oh. Is he okay now? :smallfrown:

[Amidus Drexel]

Excellent! Take photos for us!

...Oh. Is he okay now? :smallfrown:

Perhaps. I'll try to remember to.

Well, he was okay afterwards (enough to tour with AC/DC fairly shortly after), if that's what you mean. He died in 1980, though. :smallwink:

I guess that's alright, depending on how you interpret it. :smallamused:

[TaiLiu]

Perhaps. I'll try to remember to.
If it helps, try to imagine me screaming in your ear the following: "Photos!"

I guess that's alright, depending on how you interpret it. :smallamused:
I suppose he is both alright and not alright at the same time, then.
