How to Random Banter:
Rules of the Random Banter Thread

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Okay everyone have at it! :smallbiggrin:

[FinnLassie]

-snip-

Woohoo! The new thread has begun! :biggrin:

Edit: Previous thread shenanigans...



Awe! :smalltongue: Such wonderful silliness.
Also please ignore my 2nd edit to my above post. I forgot when reading through to catch up that you mentioned him more. Still sorta waking up.


Yes, he is one wonderful thing. Impossible at times, but when something like this comes up you just have to forget his cranky bits of the day. :smalltongue:

'Sokay. Now we have cookies in the thread, all is fine!


*asplodes*

Nay, this I will not allow! *stands up* No braiding.

Mayhaps I'm just using the wrong name... :smalltongue: Also: thank goodness.

Heheheheheh :smallbiggrin:

Yay, now we can make some Amistew to go with the Amicake!

Hey! Hey! I'm in the midway of doing it. You totally ruined it. Hmph. And it'll be hard to open from there as your hair is so tangled up. You know, you might want me to brush it or something. :smalltongue:

Well, you may as well be aware of one's true name, but you do not know the nickname that is used in the family. So, sorry, still not good enough. A good attempt, though. :smallwink: not cute enough YET. Heh.

Indeed. My jaws are hurting from laughing. His face, priceless.

[Cuthalion]

Oh Cuthalion, I just love your avatar.
So, do I, so do I. I wish budgies were larger, though. I would have changed it by now were it not for the count to 50 thread, which needs me.

I know I've cooked for myself and the rest of my family. I've heated up Clam Chowder, cooked Kraft Mac and Cheese (it took a few times to get it right. At one point I accidentally made Mush and Cheese :smallsigh:). And I actually heated up some Calzones with the oven. It was my first time working with the oven, and yet the Calzones came out perfectly. So I know how to use the stove, oven, and the microwave (but then again just about anybody can operate a microwave :smalltongue:)
You know, making calzones isn't all that hard. You make a small pizza and fold it in half.

When people say "Kraft dinner," they mean "prepackaged macaroni and cheese." There are very simple instructions on the box.
The one time I tried to make prepackaged mac'n'cheese (primitive for your family) I added the cheese at the wrong time, I think? It ended up really weird. :smalltongue:

[Haluesen]

Woohoo! The new thread has begun! :biggrin:

Yes indeed! Let there be much fun and joy and talkativeness!
Also though I said it earlier I want to mention again, happy birthday! :smallbiggrin:

Mmm now I want pizza. Probably will for lunch. :smallsmile: Also I am sorry for your cheese mishap. I guess these things happen. My sister and I once blew up a casserole dish trying to make brownies. :smallbiggrin: That was the only real food mishap I can think of here.

*Gavottes, Boogies, etc.*



Crotchety Old Man never mixes well with discussions of the baser elements of humanity, I find. The closest you can really get is a Sam Vimes, and, well, that's Sam Vimes.


It's simple, really - just say "kids today" instead of "people" and you somehow gain both crotchetiness and credibility.



I am indeed aware that the dark side of human nature applies to more than just sexism. Sexism, however, has tendrils in many aspects of our darker nature.

I am disinclined to argue this point, mainly because I realize that my own views are heavily influenced by regional norms and personal experiences that may not apply to you - or anyone else on the forums, for that matter.

[Amidus Drexel]

Gotta love that new thread smell. :smallcool:

Naaaaaay, do not do that....

I hope you know that IRL I would've gotten up long before you were halfway through. No one has successfully stealth-braided my hair yet, and I intend to keep it so. :smalltongue:

I could always guess. :smalltongue: Nooooo! I thought I was safe!

You ought to have something better than just stuff. :smallwink:

[LaZodiac]

Happy birthday new thread!

Also, regarding Les Mis.

Javert's death is tragic, and I don't think it was the only way out for him, but it is so appropriate with his characterization that I love it. Unless I understood it wrong, he just walked out into the ocean and never came back once he came under. A man weighted down by his guilt so much that not even the sea will spit him back up.

[Haluesen]

Yes Amidus you must eat. :smalltongue: It's good for you. Before Finn ends up making cake out of you.

And I did promise 75% more cookies, so here everyone! (I still need to make more types.)

http://i43.tinypic.com/2j1sldl.jpg

[LaZodiac]

Gaaaaaah!

Our movie theatre is getting the new Wolverine movie, Elysium (which at least promises to be good) and PLANES.

But we aren't getting Pacific Rim. HATE.

[Taet]

How can you turn on the oven in this heat? Are you making solar oven cookies? I would like to try that again once I figure out the wasp problem. For now anything set up outside which is wet attracts wasps. Watering the zinnias is frightening. They try to land on the stream of water as it is poured.

My lunch was bread and citrus peel. I think I must go grocery shopping.

[Drakeburn]

Hooray for the new thread!

No! My sandwich! Don't kick it.

I don't care. It tasted terrible. :smallyuk:

[Haluesen]

For cookies, even the terrible heat is worth it. :smallcool:

Ooh a sandwich? :smallbiggrin: I'm getting hungry already, maybe I will make something small for lunch.

[Amidus Drexel]

Twas a tasty sandwich, too. Aye, indeed. I'd rather eat the food than be made into it.

Mmm... cookies..

Hey, stuff is very good! :smalltongue:

Indeed. Expected, too, considering the frequenters and the thread usage.

Yet another anomaly in the thread title.

[LaZodiac]

Yet another anomaly in the thread title.

Oh you guys. As long as it's clearly the random banter thread, it's alright with me!

Anywho, I beat SMT4. I won't post spoilers, but let it be known there are four endings!

[Haluesen]

There are anomalies in the title? :smallbiggrin: Whatever could you possibly mean? :smalltongue:

Hmm, I can't think of it right now, so what is SMT?

[Coidzor]

I have a strange craving for meatloaf (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GNhdQRbXhc). :smallconfused:

Last Thread Malarkey.
They were high and stupid, and also one of them was my sister, you shouldn't be surprised by this.

I guess it's a good thing I don't have a sister, really. It seems like just about every time people mention them, I wonder why they haven't headbutted them yet. :smallconfused:


My sister has infact cooked this stuff before. She knew better and was specifically asked to not bother me for food, and she did this even after I gave her, from MY OWN STORE OF FOOD, out of the goodness of my heart, some pepperoni sticks.

That was your first mistake. If you give a mouse a cookie or give a sister a stick of hot, spicy meat; it matters not. It all ends in tragedy and crying and screaming.


No! Bad Coidz! BAD! :smallmad: *slap*

Myeah... I'm feeling really crap about it. It's my last few days here. :smallfrown:

Owww.... Always with the face...:smallsigh:

:smallfrown:


My nephew likes to repeat my name a lot. :smallredface: :redface:
*is a proud auntie*

Nice! :smallbiggrin:


*braids your hair*

ION: My nephew has learned that letting out gas in the water makes bubbles. The joys of a nearly-two-year-old.

I should figure out if my hair can be braided yet...

Heh. Eating beans before a bath does not make a bubble bath. /Jeff Foxworthy.


They're either really lazy teens, or they have never cooked for themselves before.

I know I've cooked for myself and the rest of my family. I've heated up Clam Chowder, cooked Kraft Mac and Cheese (it took a few times to get it right. At one point I accidentally made Mush and Cheese :smallsigh:). And I actually heated up some Calzones with the oven. It was my first time working with the oven, and yet the Calzones came out perfectly. So I know how to use the stove, oven, and the microwave (but then again just about anybody can operate a microwave :smalltongue:)

Exactly. Now to learn how to use a microwave and a stove to boil water safely and properly. :smallamused: Maybe make some cake in a mug (http://www.rd.com/slideshows/cake-in-a-mug-and-more-mug-recipes/).


I have never once made myself a Kraft dinner, but that is because I have never heard of them before. I'd probably need someone to do it for me.

Hmm?

Can you boil water, use a colander, measure liquids and butter, and set a timer?

Sam Vimes is not crotchety, he is a massive cynic.

Heheheh, perhaps. I'll make mention of what popped into my head, although I'm sure that it's wrong.

I'm an excellent chef! (If you want something grilled, or pan-fried. Baking's a bit iffy). I just don't really like to cook.

Noooooooo

... See, I always make this mistake. :smalltongue: Yes. Beat you. Although, I have to say, Amiplushie would be quite adorable. It'd have different coloured buttons in the back, and they'd speak according to the personality that corresponds with the colour. Ahh, an excellent product idea!

I am rather certain it's wrong. :smallcool:

Pfft. Spend more time on your cooking! And stop eating those carrots that have gone bad. And crisps. :smalltongue:

Well, wouldn't say minced, but I've made this corner here rather lovely. If he doesn't behave or eats all of my chillies, he's done. Usually it's just simple angry scribbling all over him. :smallamused:

I'm nearly completely sure of it; if it requires knowledge of Finnish to understand. Gives me something else to annoy you with, if nothing else. :smalltongue:

Hrm? They hadn't gone bad, they just tasted bad by themselves. On account of being, well, store-cut carrots. And no, I'd rather not. Unless I'm being given steak... then I might go out to the grill. :smallcool:

Nooooooooooo *is minced*

This is the first time I will admit that this is a grave I've been digging for myself. :smallannoyed: *pokes with shovel* Well, the corner will be a nice graveyard too, I suppose... Confusion will be my epitaph.

Ah, right. Well, ready cut anything are usually... Well, wouldn't say rancid, but close. :smalltongue:

I'll make a good chili meal out of you. What do you think, should we put some habanero in this sauce? *gazes at the shelves*

Basically, hang out with people long enough, and they'll start trying to make you be a couple with other people you hang out with. It's bloody annoying.

I've only heard rumours of this time. I'd rather not know more of that time. *narrows eyes*

It wasn't half bad, really. The fanfiction was what did it, as I recall.


Of course, I would win you IRL anyways. :smallcool: :smallamused:

We can make Amiloaf! *collects his asploded bits and starts mincing*

Fhiiiiiine. :smallmad: *scrib... scribll... SCRIBBLES A SAD SUN ON YOUR CHEEK* :smallfurious:

Have someone else praided it for you? How would a French braid look on a man... :smallconfused:

I have to say, that wee boy loves beans... Damn it. :smalltongue:

W...Win Amidus? :smalleek:

Sounds tasty. Going to use a binder or is this all Amidus?

yay! (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLTZctTG6cE)

Not as far as I am aware or can recall. I've had some elf locks, but I think those were just tangles. I don't know how French braids look on mensch. Should I find out? :smallamused:

XD Quite the opposite of my two year old self. I'd start to get sick just from being in the house while they were cooked.


Forum shipping? Or should I not ask?

Like when people think that Mooncat has a thing for Blueghost and/or Teddy, LaZodiac has a thing for FinnLassie/Teddy/Mooncat, Finn has a tsundere for Amidus, Thufir has a thing for Curly, Kneenibble has a thing for budgies and bling, etc. etc. based upon their antics.

[Cuthalion]

Hm. I've never experienced that.

Never experienced it either, I've seen it happen quite a bit.

[RCgothic]

Basically, hang out with people long enough, and they'll start trying to make you be a couple with other people you hang out with. It's bloody annoying.

I was thinking about using bear meat, but then I'd feel bad because I'd feel like I was eating Teddy, so I'll probably put a bit of moose in there.

Gahahah, go ahead. Your hair might be a bit too short though, it's possible it'll look ridiculous... I mean, even on women short French braids look silly, IMHO. Well, I suppose it depends on the thickness of the hair as well!

Well, it's not like he has a choice of food or anything, he eats what's given to him. His favourites are broccoli, egg and spaghetti though. :smallcool: And yoghurt!

Yeah, and when this sort of stuff is said, I personally find it offensive towards me when I'm included in those discussions. I don't find it playful jester at all, "shipping".

[Haluesen]

Ah, forum shipping. Still unofficially practiced, just minus the fanfic.



Basically, hang out with people long enough, and they'll start trying to make you be a couple with other people you hang out with. It's bloody annoying.

Ah I see. :smalleek: That is an odd scenario. (Though when I was referring to the mincing, I meant how often was Amidus messed with here. :smalltongue: )


If you want to entertain yourself with some pre-context, I think the last two threads are an exceptional example of how joyfully me and Amidus interact with each other. :smallcool:

Friends being friends is a good thing, and to be encouraged. :smallsmile: I might go looking through the past, at that.

[QUOTE=Cuthalion;15685670]I have been noticing that. On another note, what do youguys think about the Atlantic Ocean? :smallamused:

Oh so that kind of shipping. Yeah I could imagine that would be odd to be subject to. Okay if someone agreed to allow that kind of speculation in the name of fun, but otherwise it sounds like it would be awkward or off-putting. If I were ever subjected to such a thing at best I would be blushing brightly in embarrassment, and at worse I would feel horribly offended. But that's just me. Only slightly more confident online than offline. :smallcool:

Indeed. I suspect that it is because a relationship with a nine-tailed canine that bestows curses on people that merely touch it's tail would be highly unstable. :smalltongue:

This reminds me: long ago, before I knew what matchmaking was, I assumed "shipping" was an action in which someone ships or mails something to someone else. I was very confused!

Hmm, I don't think I'd mind, but good bear meat is probably too sweet for Amidus by my recollection.

Well, you'd have a better idea about that than I. :smalltongue:

I'm sure if he had similar feelings as myself you'd know from the consistent retching.:smallwink: Yog hurts are always good, though.

<_< >_>

[Teddy]

Whaaaaat? But the mods banned it aaages ago, when some shippers went too far onto the adult side...

As Coid said, that was actually the Crack Pairing thread over at the OotS discussion, which tipped the scale with something rather incestuous I read half of but got fed up with (I'm not sure why I read it to start with, I only know that I read the last crack pairing ever posted on these boards...), but what made the mods wary to start with were when the image threads for fine renditions of males and females in a classical roleplaying setting devolved into pure pornography threads.

Also, shipping nowaday mostly consists of saying "shipshipship", not actual descriptive shipping like in the old days, although there was a semi-recent (halfway between the ban and now) event when RB strayed too far into the descriptive end and was locked for quite some time while the mods looked it through (they provided a backup thread, though)...


*Amipie? Yes, yes you are*

:smallbiggrin:

Whee, more silly images! It's so fun to see other's mental pictures, not just hear of them.

Also, Hugcake totally wants to become friends with Amipie, and will be so sad to see Amipie become the main course...

[Taet]

So. It was not enough to talk about Sweeney Todd for pages. Now we have gone and made poor Amidus into a pie. And maybe some horse meat in there too. Windstriker? :belkar:

Thank you for asking, Haluesen, and thank you for the simple answer, Coidzor. From the way it was used I thought ship was short for "put two people in a ship and shipwreck them on a desert island and see what happens". That still works doesn't it?

A Drexel cookbook would be full of Philadelphia recipes. :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

Oh so that kind of shipping. Yeah I could imagine that would be odd to be subject to. Okay if someone agreed to allow that kind of speculation in the name of fun, but otherwise it sounds like it would be awkward or off-putting. If I were ever subjected to such a thing at best I would be blushing brightly in embarrassment, and at worse I would feel horribly offended. But that's just me. Only slightly more confident online than offline. :smallcool:

Usually it's fairly organic or in response to baiting or actions that are so close to baiting that everyone is made uncomfortable by the fact that they're unintentionally ship-baiting and so inform them of how things look.

Usually.


Indeed. I suspect that it is because a relationship with a nine-tailed canine that bestows curses on people that merely touch it's tail would be highly unstable. :smalltongue:

Oh my gosh, you have officially made me laugh myself into a coughing fit! :smallbiggrin:

Damnit people, I go to sleep and there's a new thread with 3 pages already! :smalltongue:

From last thread:


From an environmental and large-scale societal perspective: Don't. Never take antibiotics unless prescribed such, and if you ever start an antibiotics treatment, you must fulfill it. Multidrug-resistant bacteria is a large enough problem as it is, and the main cause is by far the rampant overuse of antibiotics.

Well, my family is pretty much finished with dinner. Pot-stickers, wonton soup, and some rice. The shrimp wonton soup was okay, but the funny thing was after I was done with my soup, everybody else gave their bowls of soup to me. And of course, I ate them all as well.

Reminds me of the time when someone in my High School Spanish class passed out fried bananas to everyone. Even though everyone didn't like them because of how they smelled, I gobbled up mine since I'm no stranger to fried bananas, and everybody ended up giving me THEIR fried bananas.

The bandages are kept in the kitchen for good reasons. The knife is soaking in bleach.

I can make the sauces but I cannot fry anything well. There is also that special flavor of fry oil that has been heated many times. Even if I could fry food well the oil would be fresh and miss something.

I can make my own pizza though so that is a good enough trade. Maybe I will try a calzone soon. No mushrooms in the filling though. Their water all comes out and makes a wet calzone.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Dear Doctor Edward Feser,
I understand that you are significantly more versed in Philosophy and Theology than I, being both several decades older and possessing higher degrees than I; however I wish to criticise your writing style.
Your Aquinas: Beginner's Guide is an entry in a Beginner's Guide series; this means it is intended to slowly introduced key concepts of a topic to people who know little to nothing about the topic in question.
This means you don't write lengthy paragraphs where half the paragraph or more consists of fairly lengthy quotes from Aquinas' work, especially on such an obtuse and difficult concept as medieval metaphysics (which is even tricky for those who have studied it at length), without explaining it in better terms than an analogy restating and rephrasing the quotation, with little to no actual explanation.
Yes, I see you compare medieval metaphysical beliefs with later interpretations of the same concepts. Concepts you admit to being difficult for the uninformed to understand without sizeable help. What a lay person would like, when trying to get a better understanding of a topic they have developed an interest in, is a clear, concise (or at least a concise as possible) overview of things designed to encourage that interest without being condescending to a new student.
To conclude Dr. Feser, what I don't want in a book designed to introduce me to a new subject is convoluted, circular, imprecise explanations on a sub-section of that subject that is actually a key component to understanding a major part of that subject.
In this case: when trying to learn more about Aquinas, I would like a better explanation for such a confusing subject as metaphysics, because his stance on various aspects of that subject is one of the key aids to understanding his thoughts on theology. Y'know, that thing he's most well-known for: the Summa Theologica? One of the most famous, and most influential, books in Christianity.
You've almost entirely succeeded in putting me off the Angelic Doctor entirely. And people who've witnessed by enormous wall-o'-text quotestorms with Dragonprime about Aquinas, history, theology, the medieval period, Scholasticism and the impact of all those things on literature know that this is a truly outstanding achievement.
Please rethink your writing style, because I believe it discourages more potential new students/readers than it actually encourages.
Thank you for reading this letter.

Yours aggravatedly,
Miss Koorly KitGirl.

CAT O' NINETALES.
:cool::cool::cool:

I have never felt this awesome in my entire life.

:cool:

[Taet]

Man, I saw a production of the Scottish Play where that was CLEARLY a dirk and not a dagger. When he said that line, I just wanted to shout out "NO, IT ISN'T," but I'm not quite that much of a jerk.

I thought all fire was friendly. It's friendly to me, at least. It keeps me warm, gives me light, and looks AWESOME.

You shipping TaiLiu gave me the absolute best name for a ship ever:

CAT O' NINETALES.
:cool::cool::cool:

I have never felt this awesome in my entire life.

A Rocky Horror Picture Show at Macbeth? You would have to shout that. And shout whenever someone said Macbeth. And probably throw something red in the air whenever someone talked about blood. And the scene with the porter would be audience participation.

Someone in the last thread talked about not liking fire. I thought that was not normal. This is normal.

Yes. You should feel awesome.


Oh. That's... That's a rather deep cut.

Qwertystop, did that finger tip come back all the way? :smalleek:

:smallconfused: What do dirks have to do with Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Seriously, what?



Someone in the last thread talked about not liking fire. I thought that was not normal. This is normal.


I could just watch a fire burn all day. The subtle changes in color, the blue-white hot center, the sound of popping wood, the sparks that fly up like miniature fireworks when you toss a new log on - fire is GORGEOUS.



Yes. You should feel awesome.


Thank you. I sort of freaked out when it hit me. My dad (who is playing Minecraft five feet away from me) had to ask what was wrong, and since he's not a big fan of shipping I had to tell him that it was something to do with Pentatonix.

[Taet]

:smallconfused: What do dirks have to do with Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Seriously, what?

You wanted to shout back at the play and you needed an excuse. RHPS is an excuse to shout back at the screen.

I think that many Shakespeare plays could be better that way. Imagine all the audience yelling DON'T DO IT, BENEDICK, YOU FOOL! at Much Ado About Nothing.

[MoonCat]

TaiLiu, whose avvie is based on the pokemon Ninetales.

Nooooooooooooo.


Hm. What would thinking backwards entail, anyway?

SHARK-EATING SHARKS

Ah. What does it mean?

:smalltongue:

I dunno.

Nope. No. Uh-uh. Nope.

What was Benedick not supposed to do? Claudio was the one being a dip****.

[Haluesen]

So much excitement today, I feel like I could just nap in my shipping crate. :smalltongue:

But yeah, what does Rocky Horror have to do with a dirk? Or knives? I'm curious.

[TaiLiu]

Nooooooooooooo.
I'm already "shipped," though. Can one be shipped with multiple people?

Nope. No. Uh-uh. Nope.
Does it mean "no?"

[HalfTangible]

[MoonCat]

It has been mentioned repeatedly today that one can, and you're already shipped with two people.

YES. I'd go insane in two seconds. And I think you might end up dead, which would suck.

I saw Rocky Horror once. I don't plan to again. As far as shouting at the Shakespeare Plays, I do that already. Just with the Kenneth Branagh film versions, rather than live shows - I find the performers prefer it that way.


Nooooooooooooo.


I feel about my creation the same way I do about the Tony Stark/Bruce Banner/Steve Rogers ship known as "Stark-Spangled Banner." Which is to say that I don't subscribe to the ship, but I do REALLY love the name.



But imagine doing that at a showing of Hamlet. HAMLET, YOUR PLAY IS HORRIBLY UNREALISTIC, EAR POISON IS STUPID. WHICH ONE IS GUILDENSTERN?

EAR POISON IS BRILLIANT BECAUSE IT'S SO STUPID NO ONE WOULD EVER SEE IT COMING. Also, it's all symbolic and stuff.

Hamlet maaaaaaaaaay be my favorite Shakespeare play. Either that or King Lear.

My English teacher tried to have a class of sophomores watch the Branagh versions of Much Ado and Othello. Even for the advanced class, we were rifftraxing it terribly.

That is pretty good. And solves the conundrum I have over Cap and Banner both being so, so shippable with him. Even if a threesome would be totally OOC for two of them.

Noted.

Feel better, man. :\

ION: I believe it's time for me to go get slaughtered again... TO ROGUE!

And don't you forget it. It would be terrible if you went to New Zealand and died due to a volcanic eruption.

Thanks. It is my new main project. At least until DYF starts up.

No! Don't do that! Pegasuses have almost no meat on their bones! Though they are more nutritious than Unicorns...



If I had to choose, I'd go to NZ. :smalltongue:

Thank you!

Ah, once again, a dilemma! To end up blushing due to this lovely gesture, or shiver as I dislike fireworks! Well, I guess I'll like the gesture as it's just a photo. :smallbiggrin:

Oh, he has his sweet side too! :smallbiggrin: *ruffles Amipoodle's hair*

I'm feeling much better already, sort of. :smallsmile: But, wah! You should get better! I had horrible tonsillitis last year, well, didn't have to go to hospital due to that but nearly had to because they gave me penicillin... Guess how we found out I'm allergic to penicillin... :smallyuk:


ISORN: I don't seem to have any contagious, so my wee nephew came over anyway! I won't be the one sleeping in the same room with him though, just to be cautious... So my mum will have to enjoy the night if he decides to rebel. :smallamused:

My nephew likes to repeat my name a lot. :smallredface: :redface:
*is a proud auntie*

But... New Zealand is less awesome!

Well, I can't really afford actual fireworks, so you can enjoy all the blinding lights and colours without the noise. If that's the part that annoys you. I do find it odd that you don't like them, but oh well.

I'm sure he does, but orchids mean refinement, luxury and feminine beauty, at least to my understanding, and that's not really Amidus, is it?
Though I could be wrong. I need to find a good book on the topic.

That would perhaps be the worst method of discovering one's allergies. Though it is good to hear that you're getting better.
I'm not particularly afraid I'll end up in hospital. We've caught this comparatively early and I've had it a couple of times before without serious issue. Though the sore throat really bugs me.

Finn is an auntie? That changes my entire perspective of you. For better or worse? No. And it's not really my entire perspective either, but I do like a little melodramatic exaggeration.
The important thing is though, you are not contagious, which is always a good thing.



I think those only happen near the areas with mines. I did not see any markets like that before I came to California. Here there are gem markets. I do not count the jewelry district in LA since that is a big enough market that it brings in gems from everywhere.

Bad news about the sickness. It is his turn for us to tell him to take care of you because we are too far away to do it ourselves.

Hmm... That is indeed odd. After all, there are no mines around here that I'm aware of.

I shall have to guilt him into doing things for me. But there are no guarantees of success in that endeavour.



Local gemstone markets? Pffft, where do you live to believe this to be a common occurrence? :smallwink:

And no, no travelling gemstone shows either...

You misunderstand... In this case, the markets are generic. And the shows are agricultural/industrial shows put on by various towns and shires annually. You would probably call them fairs or something.



Yeah. It should probably be a small gem, but a rough gemstone in the right setting would probably be quite admirable indeed.

My citrine would probably be better for being set while rough as the crystals are substantially smaller. But I do much prefer purple to orange.



From an environmental and large-scale societal perspective: Don't. Never take antibiotics unless prescribed such, and if you ever start an antibiotics treatment, you must fulfill it. Multidrug-resistant bacteria is a large enough problem as it is, and the main cause is by far the rampant overuse of antibiotics.

Trust me, these are prescribed. One can't get antibiotics without a prescription after all.



"Good Day Citizen, remember, The Coidzor is Your Friend."

That is indeed good to hear.

Why am I awake.

The siren call of the Random Banter? :smalltongue: But seriously, sorry you have to be up at this time. :smallfrown: That just sucks, I hate when I get woken up that early too.

[Dimonite]

My English teacher tried to have a class of sophomores watch the Branagh versions of Much Ado and Othello. Even for the advanced class, we were rifftraxing it terribly.


This is why I wouldn't show Othello to sophomores. Much Ado I probably would, because it's a comedy and you aren't supposed to take it seriously, but I wouldn't expect a sophomore to take anything seriously, given that I've seen sophomores laugh at both a video of a puppy being thrown off a cliff (a shocking opening to a presentation on animal cruelty) and the ending of Of Mice and Men.



That is pretty good. And solves the conundrum I have over Cap and Banner both being so, so shippable with him. Even if a threesome would be totally OOC for two of them.


I usually solve that problem by shipping Cap with Black Widow, but to each his (or her) own.

Well, you'd have a better idea about that than I. :smalltongue:

I'm sure if he had similar feelings as myself you'd know from the consistent retching.:smallwink: Yog hurts are always good, though.

<_< >_>

You can always try though. Now I'm imagining you with pigtails too... Brain, stop! Stop thinking about Coidzie with cute little girl hairdos!

He loves everything. Unfortunately this summer he has been introduced to ice cream, so whenever someone mentions it... He goes "Nom nom nom nom" in a very happy and cheerful tone, and then gets upset when ice cream is not being brought in front of him. And I mean, he hasn't even gotten a lot, but once he had it... He just wants it... :smalltongue:

What? Not all find it funny.


But... New Zealand is less awesome!

No! Flight of the Conchords came from there! More awesome. :smallyuk:

Try being nearly killed/hit in the face with/blinded/<insert bad stuff here> with fireworks, then you'll understand me.

*shrug* I just get pretty flowers, I don't care what they mean. Besides, their meaning is strongly knit with culture, so. Different places might mean different meanings.

Myeah. It was rather interesting. Together with my rather bad swelling of the neck, I couldn't breathe and the skin on my face just sort of dried completely. After that all of my allergic reactions have become worse, don't know why.

Well, it's not like me being an auntie has been a secret or anything. :smalltongue: You're saying it as if I were a mother... :smallamused:

Ah, where was I...

Yeah. And I'm hungry. But I don't want to get out of the room because after that he won't leave me alone.


That's two hours before I even think of getting up. Silly toddlers.


Well, I don't think you were a considerate being when you were the same age as him either. :smalltongue:

Silly. Indeed.

[Amidus Drexel]

*wipes dust off shelves and Amidus*

Sorry, it's a bit messy here...

Well, I don't think you were a considerate being when you were the same age as him either. :smalltongue:

HEY! I was using that dust! Well, not the stuff on the shelves. Go ahead and wipe those off.

:smallbiggrin:

Maybe. I can't remember anything from the first six years of my life. (and the rest is a bit spotty). There is a reason I don't like little kids, you know. (several, actually) :smalltongue:

[Coidzor]

Pfft. I've had mothers say that I'm never allowed near their children again. Just because I said I found it funny when children injure themselves. Which was totally out of context.

I got called lady repeatedly in the two weeks my dad was out of town for some reason. It was sort of surprising.

GLARGLE

And then mutate into a female and attempt to continue the species.

I've just had mothers clutch their small children in terror in my wake, really. It's much more surreal to play nanny to Coidzpapa and Coalzor at the same time though.

Oh? Surprising? Because usually it's "Stop that young hellion!" instead? :smallamused: Or because people called you a lady once you were no longer escorted by your pater familias?

Things that you really shouldn't be old enough for, but sadly are. Or not so sadly, I suppose, considering that I was your age when I first started doing them, so I could hardly fault you for it, as long as you went about it properly. Properly usually precludes children though, moony. XD

Quite. (http://youtu.be/UvLJL-i6aBk?t=20s)


Dear Doctor Edward Feser,
I understand that you are significantly more versed in Philosophy and Theology than I, being both several decades older and possessing higher degrees than I; however I wish to criticise your writing style.
Your Aquinas: Beginner's Guide is an entry in a Beginner's Guide series; this means it is intended to slowly introduced key concepts of a topic to people who know little to nothing about the topic in question.
This means you don't write lengthy paragraphs where half the paragraph or more consists of fairly lengthy quotes from Aquinas' work, especially on such an obtuse and difficult concept as medieval metaphysics (which is even tricky for those who have studied it at length), without explaining it in better terms than an analogy restating and rephrasing the quotation, with little to no actual explanation.
Yes, I see you compare medieval metaphysical beliefs with later interpretations of the same concepts. Concepts you admit to being difficult for the uninformed to understand without sizeable help. What a lay person would like, when trying to get a better understanding of a topic they have developed an interest in, is a clear, concise (or at least a concise as possible) overview of things designed to encourage that interest without being condescending to a new student.
To conclude Dr. Feser, what I don't want in a book designed to introduce me to a new subject is convoluted, circular, imprecise explanations on a sub-section of that subject that is actually a key component to understanding a major part of that subject.
In this case: when trying to learn more about Aquinas, I would like a better explanation for such a confusing subject as metaphysics, because his stance on various aspects of that subject is one of the key aids to understanding his thoughts on theology. Y'know, that thing he's most well-known for: the Summa Theologica? One of the most famous, and most influential, books in Christianity.
You've almost entirely succeeded in putting me off the Angelic Doctor entirely. And people who've witnessed by enormous wall-o'-text quotestorms with Dragonprime about Aquinas, history, theology, the medieval period, Scholasticism and the impact of all those things on literature know that this is a truly outstanding achievement.
Please rethink your writing style, because I believe it discourages more potential new students/readers than it actually encourages.
Thank you for reading this letter.

Yours aggravatedly,
Miss Koorly KitGirl.

Never fear; the pegasus is not in danger. The only thing getting slaughtered is the alphabet, and (when I inevitably die) the @ symbol. :smallcool:

But the food is much more interesting without it, don't you think? :smallamused:

If you go around eating random things, then dying is your own fault. However, as you are no doubt getting poisonous confused with venomous, I suggest using common sense. It's kept us Australians alive for as long as we've been here.

Hmm... Are you sure it's wise to slaughter the alphabet? A pictographic system can be annoying to use from time to time.

It all depends on the dish in question. Some of them I wouldn't even dream of adding sanity to, whereas others simply must have it to give it that little bit of extra... Hmm... It's not easy to describe...



That's when I get up :smallbiggrin:

I really wish I could get up at that time. It would be very convenient.



No! Flight of the Conchords came from there! More awesome. :smallyuk:

Bah! So many more awesome things owe their origins to Australia. Like... Um... The Bee Gees! And ACDC! And... I can't remember anything else music related. Mynxae knows more.

Ahh... That's indeed unfortunate.

But I like flower language... It makes planning wreaths and floral borders so much easier!



Myeah. It was rather interesting. Together with my rather bad swelling of the neck, I couldn't breathe and the skin on my face just sort of dried completely. After that all of my allergic reactions have become worse, don't know why.

Well, it's not like me being an auntie has been a secret or anything. :smalltongue: You're saying it as if I were a mother... :smallamused:

That would be due to your immune system overreacting on future occasions because it's very zealous.

But I have the greatest respect for aunts! I mean, if I were a woman, I'd be someone's spinster aunt! However, I may simply be lucky with my aunts as they are all awesome.



I believe poppies would be more appropriate... :smallamused:

What? Consolation, fantastic extravagance or sleep depending on colour?
Well, the last one might fit, I'm not really sure.

Though there is the other connotation of poppies, but my sources are limited and I don't know if it counts.

Hmm, so would your opinion of me have changed if I had become an aunty instead of an unca?

Indeed, it's a terrible thing to be contagious. And an even more terrible thing to want to link most Sexual Lobster flashes... XD

HAMLET WAS NEVER TRYING TO BE A GOOD WRITER, HE WAS TRYING TO GET TWO SPECIFIC PEOPLE TO SQUIRM.

And he mostly failed, unless I fell asleep out of boredom and dreamed that part. :smallconfused:


That's when I get up :smallbiggrin:

I often wonder how you function as well as you seem to, aye.


It's not your corner! It's just a corner! *cry*

Well, more like *THE* Corner. :smallamused:


You can always try though. Now I'm imagining you with pigtails too... Brain, stop! Stop thinking about Coidzie with cute little girl hairdos!

He loves everything. Unfortunately this summer he has been introduced to ice cream, so whenever someone mentions it... He goes "Nom nom nom nom" in a very happy and cheerful tone, and then gets upset when ice cream is not being brought in front of him. And I mean, he hasn't even gotten a lot, but once he had it... He just wants it... :smalltongue:

You're... very lucky, really. Normally when peopple suggest the thought of me in pig tails I have a much harder time controlling my tongue and saying something they might not want to hear. :smallamused:

He is touched by the ice cream munchies, aye. Either it will pass or he will reveal himself as the chosen one. Of Ice Cream.


What? Not all find it funny.

And that is partially tied to why I find you to be like a puzzling enigma that niggles at me to solve it even while actually reaching out to attempt to solve it would merely cause the shadows to lengthen and deepen.


Try being nearly killed/hit in the face with/blinded/<insert bad stuff here> with fireworks, then you'll understand me.

*shrug* I just get pretty flowers, I don't care what they mean. Besides, their meaning is strongly knit with culture, so. Different places might mean different meanings.

Myeah. It was rather interesting. Together with my rather bad swelling of the neck, I couldn't breathe and the skin on my face just sort of dried completely. After that all of my allergic reactions have become worse, don't know why.

Well, it's not like me being an auntie has been a secret or anything. :smalltongue: You're saying it as if I were a mother... :smallamused:

I'll stick with just nearly having caused a grassfire that would probably have caused some serious problems if I hadn't smothered it with my 7 year old body as soon as I saw what had happened. Wuff.

Pretty flowers are good, yes. :smallbiggrin:

That is just nasty. :smallfrown: I hope you can clear those allergies out and get back to a cleaner slate with them soon.

Well, you'll always be Mammy to me. :smallamused:


The mongoose flies (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3bdZWrIMdM). :smallcool:

Love is not the word I would use... Maybe "admire". As in, I admire its effectiveness as a target. :smallamused:

What I want to know is where he got the money for that milkshake. :smallconfused:

Colourful, even. :smallamused:

Hmm. I like it so far.

Hey now, I need its suffering for my debauched rituals of darkness. Go for the kneecaps, not the head.

I figured he just pilfered the ingredients from the cupboard and the neighbours.

There's the fun in that! :smallbiggrin:


Not sleep, but relaxation is close enough.

You wanna talk relaxation with someone, Zodi's the sage.

[LaZodiac]

You take that back. Food doesn't love you like Food loves me! :smalltongue:

Re: SMT4: Kinky. I didn't think they'd go in that direction with any of them, but I kinda hoped they might eventually. Always a bold move. At least if I'm understanding option 4 correctly.

Okay, okay :smalltongue:

Come online and I'll tell you!

True, true. I'm always relaxing. Partly due to having nothing to do, but still :smallamused:

Okay, okay :smalltongue:

Darn Tootin'. :smalltongue: I mean, you're still svelte, even. Wait till the food just can't let you go. XD

Tricky. Been fighting with this computer to do just that for the past couple
days, sorry.

Something like that, yeah.

Yha, but I'm pretty sure I'll be fine :smalltongue:

Aah, okay.

[FinnLassie]

Yes, there's a reason for that... Mmm... cake...

HEY! I was using that dust! Well, not the stuff on the shelves. Go ahead and wipe those off.

:smallbiggrin:

Maybe. I can't remember anything from the first six years of my life. (and the rest is a bit spotty). There is a reason I don't like little kids, you know. (several, actually) :smalltongue:

Ah, sorry btw, you have to wait for the other cake until next week. Didn't have the time to sort one out for yesterday as I had to spend most of my time on a horizontal position. You can go back to the last week's cake and drool over that for the time being. :smalltongue:

What the heck are you using that dust for?! *furious wiping* :smallfurious: We need to be presentable, young lad!

Oh, just shut it.

Bah, you'd love my nephew. Although, you wouldn't love him with his early mornings. Nope. Nope. Nope. *tries to sleep but fails*


So it is a corner that belongs to no one? Also you answered for yourself why you aren't kicked out. :smalltongue:

Messes are okay. :smallsmile: I think at least.

X.X *dies*

Oh, his delusion of ruling this corner will end soon.

No! No dust! :smallmad:

Well, the grave I've been digging comes handy now, doesn't it?


And ACDC!

But I like flower language... It makes planning wreaths and floral borders so much easier!

That would be due to your immune system overreacting on future occasions because it's very zealous.

But I have the greatest respect for aunts! I mean, if I were a woman, I'd be someone's spinster aunt! However, I may simply be lucky with my aunts as they are all awesome.


The one band that both Scots and Aussies claim to be theirs. :smalltongue:

*shrug* I just consider the aesthetics.

Yeah, kinda figured it'd be like that.

I don't really know, I've never had an aunt, just great aunties that seem to be dropping dead as of late... Only have two uncles too, so. Hrm.

You put that thought in my head, Coidbear!

*snicker* Ice cream munchies... :smalltongue: Heh. I personally am quite glad I don't really care for ice cream anymore. Not even bitter about the whole deal... damn it dairy allergy!

What the heck? Just because I'm friendly to others doesn't give anyone the right to "ship" me with them. It's rude and unnecessary to the conversation.

Mammy's feeling a bit unimpressed right now, though... Time out! *puts Coidz on the top shelf*

[Coidzor]

Indeed. Been getting up around 7-9 due to such goings on myself. Not fun, since I'm still having trouble getting to sleep before 2 AM.

That's always rough. :/

Oh, did I now? :smallamused: And here I thought you were resistant to my powers of putting things into people's heads.

Delicious, delicious ice cream. That reminds me. Someone mentioned combining ice cream and hot chocolate the other day. I should experiment with this. :smallbiggrin: *hug* If only it weren't an allergy but basically anything else.

Well, you know, it's complicated, like all human interaction.

How many layers of shelves are you putting up on this thing? Oy Gevalt. *shrug* Ah well, time to hunker down and sleep in the soil of a nice chili, I guess. Goodnight everybody.

[Haluesen]

I am coming to life for just a moment to say nighty night Coidzor! :smallsmile:

Hehe Mammy.. *snickers* :smallamused: That's probably gonna get me rekilled but I don't mind.

[MoonCat]

This is why I wouldn't show Othello to sophomores. Much Ado I probably would, because it's a comedy and you aren't supposed to take it seriously, but I wouldn't expect a sophomore to take anything seriously, given that I've seen sophomores laugh at both a video of a puppy being thrown off a cliff (a shocking opening to a presentation on animal cruelty) and the ending of Of Mice and Men.

I usually solve that problem by shipping Cap with Black Widow, but to each his (or her) own.

HAMLET WAS NEVER TRYING TO BE A GOOD WRITER, HE WAS TRYING TO GET TWO SPECIFIC PEOPLE TO SQUIRM.

I despise people like that. Not the laughing at the end of Mice and Men, but the people who think they have to act as if they aren't emotionally affected by things that are real, or think it's cool to be without empathy or ethics. But Branagh's Othello totally had a hilarious scene. It was when Iago was trying to get the handkerchief from Emilia and he is just making out with her on the bed. Suddenly he sits up totally straight, shouts "TRIFLES", and basically just walks off screen. Everyone was ****ing hysterical over that, jsut from the mood switch.

But... they have nothing that would make them work well together. They didn't even have chemistry in the film.

THEN HE SHOULD HAVE HIRED A SQUIRMOLOGIST. I THINK THEY HAVE THOSE IN DENMARK.


I've just had mothers clutch their small children in terror in my wake, really. It's much more surreal to play nanny to Coidzpapa and Coalzor at the same time though.

Oh? Surprising? Because usually it's "Stop that young hellion!" instead? :smallamused: Or because people called you a lady once you were no longer escorted by your pater familias?

ARGHFLARGHLE.EXE "Buggrit, buggrit."

Things that you really shouldn't be old enough for, but sadly are. Or not so sadly, I suppose, considering that I was your age when I first started doing them, so I could hardly fault you for it, as long as you went about it properly. Properly usually precludes children though, moony. XD

Too late, already stabbed! :smallcool:

Fu Manchu.

Quite. (http://youtu.be/UvLJL-i6aBk?t=20s)[/COLOR]

Aww, does Coidzpapa need nannying at the moment too?

Less hellion, and more "Wow, you're really- HOLY **** WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

Millennium hand and shrimp.

Your persistent failure to talk straight on some subjects amuses me. Tell me, I'm still not sure, are you referring to dating?

Oh hey, new thread. Not wasting any time, are we.

Ooooh, and new comic. Kbye brb

...

Right. What were we talking about?

On the automatic doors thing, I don't trust 'em. Never have. I always sort of wave my hands in front of me when walking through them to make sure they 1) pick me up and 2) are actually open. I'm sure it looks pretty odd.

I don't find there to be anything complicated with me not wanting others to ship me with someone.

There's a few, and the top shelf is just a shelf with nothing extra! Besides, your time out has been a bit too long. It's one minute per year, and you poor wee thing have been there for hours! Mam's very sorry! :smallfrown: *takes Coidz out and gives him a lollie*


Hehe Mammy.. *snickers* :smallamused: That's probably gonna get me rekilled but I don't mind.

Oh! Nothing negative there! Mammy Finn loves her weans, she really does. :smallsmile: But if you're misbehaving it's either a spanking, time out or no tea tonight. Mam can also be very worried about you, that's what mammies do all around the world. :smallfrown:

Aw... Oh well. We have some cake here, so I'll just eat that instead.

It had my tally marks... Now I've got no idea where I was...

:smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

Heh. I love the ending to that! Hilarious! :smallbiggrin:

Well, now that there's no marks we can get you a new spot! I was thinking about moving things around anyways. I think you'd fit nicely under the taller chilli shelves, so when you get up you won't hit your head.

:smallmad:

As expected. :smalltongue:

[Dimonite]

And he mostly failed, unless I fell asleep out of boredom and dreamed that part. :smallconfused:


Actually, he totally got them to squirm. It was mission accomplished for him. He just then proceeded to take FOREVER to go about actually getting revenge.


I despise people like that. Not the laughing at the end of Mice and Men, but the people who think they have to act as if they aren't emotionally affected by things that are real, or think it's cool to be without empathy or ethics.

See, I often actually do act as if I'm not emotionally affected by things, because when I see them I don't trust the people around me with my emotions. Then I call my sister and we yell about the feels.



But Branagh's Othello totally had a hilarious scene. It was when Iago was trying to get the handkerchief from Emilia and he is just making out with her on the bed. Suddenly he sits up totally straight, shouts "TRIFLES", and basically just walks off screen. Everyone was ****ing hysterical over that, jsut from the mood switch.


I'm not saying that there aren't comic scenes, I'm just saying that certain immature people would be likely to make fun of the dramatic scenes as well,



But... they have nothing that would make them work well together. They didn't even have chemistry in the film.


Perhaps, although their one-on-one interaction in the film was rather limited, so I feel something could happen there. It's mostly just that Cold War is the most aesthetically appealing ship.



THEN HE SHOULD HAVE HIRED A SQUIRMOLOGIST. I THINK THEY HAVE THOSE IN DENMARK.

*GLOWER*

Don't you glower at me, that was damn funny. I can't decide if I the book's ending or the movie's ending was funnier, though. The book has the hilarious part where Lennie is hallucinating, but the movie is just hilariously abrupt. :smallbiggrin:

[Teddy]

He went to the doctors yesterday afternoon to get them. I find it funny that he's complaining more even though he can still eat and drink, which I couldn't for the day of and day before going into hospital. :smallsigh::smallamused::smalltongue:

Perhaps that's the explanation, if it hurt so much to you that even complaining wasn't worth it. :smallwink:


Do not stab me, MoonCat. I can stab myself well enough. I was cutting vegetables for dinner and cut my finger with the smooth knife. I thought that it was supposed to be the wavy knife for meat and skin. :smallfrown: It's hard not to bleed on the food.

No, the wavy knife is for bread and other foodstuff with a hard crust, and has a tendency to curve toward one side or another (which is annoying when you try to make straight slices). Meat should be cut with a straight, sharp edge.

Also, ow! I hope it isn't too deep...


The bandages are kept in the kitchen for good reasons. The knife is soaking in bleach.

Why bleach? Cold water and some detergent should take it all away.


.................. Odd. Seems like my stomach is trying to decide to either be hungry or full. :smallconfused:

Welcome to my life. I blame this for one of the reasons to why I can't gain weight...


You misunderstand... In this case, the markets are generic. And the shows are agricultural/industrial shows put on by various towns and shires annually. You would probably call them fairs or something.

Well, there is one weekly market, but they mostly deal in fresh greens and clothes and accessories, and no, no fairs selling gemstones, at least not in my town (and I think we'd actually call them something Swedish :smallwink:)...


My citrine would probably be better for being set while rough as the crystals are substantially smaller. But I do much prefer purple to orange.

Hmm, perhaps you could try to go for something slightly larger than a ring, like a buckle or a necklace... A cape buckle would be quite awesome, if requiring a cape to show off...


Trust me, these are prescribed. One can't get antibiotics without a prescription after all.

Ahh, good, I got the idea that you had yet to visit a doctor when you wrote all that.

And while that's true over here as well, it isn't everywhere...

Wow, so much physical work. We've gotten a new lawnmower which turns 2 dm tall grass into golf greens with little to no effort, and I've been running around with it until the sweat pours down my face. Good thing we have a lake to dive straight into...

[CurlyKitGirl]

And here I was thinking that my brains had just become complete pudding when it came to academics. I suppose I'll just have to see if I still have it in me with some other scholars then.

So many academics, while amazing lecturers and teachers, should not be allowed to write an introductory book on a subject, or sometimes even one that finds its way onto an undergraduate's reading list.
Although for that one I should partially blame on the people who set the list; however, I do concede that sometimes the material in the books are just so useful, or so pivotal to a certain essay they have to be there, and conscientious tutors/lecturers/blah do (and should) make a note that the material is difficult/dry/[problem] and the pertinent information is found in ch. [x], or just make themselves available to explain it.

I really like the [Subject]: A Very Short Introduction (http://global.oup.com/academic/content/series/v/very-short-introductions-vsi/;jsessionid=0A5A80B4879A3AB75339EF5A396F2D2E?cc=gb&lang=en&) series, though given each one is written by an expert in [topic], so you can still run into obstruse writing styles. But the plus side is that they're typically one hundred pages give or take, The size of the pages is less than an A5 piece and paper, and they always include a sizeable Further Reading section broken down by chapter so you can direction your own interest more easily.

All the Cambridge Companion (http://universitypublishingonline.org/cambridge/companions/) are usually of very high quality. These are a collection of essays on [topic], but since they are essays the writing is often clearer because there's a rough page limit to it. Depending on the subject they might sort it by chronology, theme or style or something else entirely. Not all these chapters are aimed at beginners, instead it's just as if they wrote essays aimed at undergraduates, but in such a way that a novice would mostly understand as well.
Personally, I've never had a problem reading a Cambridge Companion or reading the bits I wanted or needed to, but that's still not to say that some of the material isn't challenging at times.

The other good point with both of these series, as opposed to many of the 'popular' history/science/etc. books aimed at the beginner/lay person is that these are all academically rigorous books with (hopefully) few to no misconceptions.
That is, all the information is accurate, as much as it is given to you, but it won't be entirely accurate because parts of it have been glossed over for length (VSI) or because the Companion, I think, pretty much allows its essayists relatively free reign to write what they want within a broad topic, so with the Companion they'll write how they interpret a thing, and that gives you a starting point on whether you agree with the reading or not, and then off you go.

It was the opposite of sad! The only thing even remotely sad about it was the fact that someone died, which is overshadowed by how hilarious the events immediately prior to that are.

I can sort of understand why you might find it sad (Lennie does die), but I assure you, it was funny as hell. I'm not entirely sure how you missed that bit. :smallconfused:

I don't find there to be anything complicated with me not wanting others to ship me with someone.

There's a few, and the top shelf is just a shelf with nothing extra! Besides, your time out has been a bit too long. It's one minute per year, and you poor wee thing have been there for hours! Mam's very sorry! :smallfrown: *takes Coidz out and gives him a lollie*

*pats* I'm sorry.

Oh, it's more complicated than just that which makes you complicated like a puzzlebox with no seams.

*eats lollie, stick and all* g'narf. g'narf. g'narf. Good nap at least.


You'd better. :smalltongue:

*reloads* I was just sort of aiming for the body in general, but okay.

I am the sage of relaxation, when I'm not busy with things.

Maybe. I prefer my toddlers in a subdued or sleeping state, though.

Or what?~ :smallamused: No worries, Nom Ami. :smallcool:

It's sort of the opposite of shoot from the hip and aim for the head.

And that is where you first falter.

Doesn't everyone?


So many academics, while amazing lecturers and teachers, should not be allowed to write an introductory book on a subject, or sometimes even one that finds its way onto an undergraduate's reading list.
Although for that one I should partially blame on the people who set the list; however, I do concede that sometimes the material in the books are just so useful, or so pivotal to a certain essay they have to be there, and conscientious tutors/lecturers/blah do (and should) make a note that the material is difficult/dry/[problem] and the pertinent information is found in ch. [x], or just make themselves available to explain it.

I really like the [Subject]: A Very Short Introduction (http://global.oup.com/academic/content/series/v/very-short-introductions-vsi/;jsessionid=0A5A80B4879A3AB75339EF5A396F2D2E?cc=gb&lang=en&) series, though given each one is written by an expert in [topic], so you can still run into obstruse writing styles. But the plus side is that they're typically one hundred pages give or take, The size of the pages is less than an A5 piece and paper, and they always include a sizeable Further Reading section broken down by chapter so you can direction your own interest more easily.

All the Cambridge Companion (http://universitypublishingonline.org/cambridge/companions/) are usually of very high quality. These are a collection of essays on [topic], but since they are essays the writing is often clearer because there's a rough page limit to it. Depending on the subject they might sort it by chronology, theme or style or something else entirely. Not all these chapters are aimed at beginners, instead it's just as if they wrote essays aimed at undergraduates, but in such a way that a novice would mostly understand as well.
Personally, I've never had a problem reading a Cambridge Companion or reading the bits I wanted or needed to, but that's still not to say that some of the material isn't challenging at times.

The other good point with both of these series, as opposed to many of the 'popular' history/science/etc. books aimed at the beginner/lay person is that these are all academically rigorous books with (hopefully) few to no misconceptions.
That is, all the information is accurate, as much as it is given to you, but it won't be entirely accurate because parts of it have been glossed over for length (VSI) or because the Companion, I think, pretty much allows its essayists relatively free reign to write what they want within a broad topic, so with the Companion they'll write how they interpret a thing, and that gives you a starting point on whether you agree with the reading or not, and then off you go.

[/yet more book recommendations]

Hmm. Intriguing. I shall have to keep this in mind then.

[Haluesen]

I don't find there to be anything complicated with me not wanting others to ship me with someone.

Oh! Nothing negative there! Mammy Finn loves her weans, she really does. :smallsmile: But if you're misbehaving it's either a spanking, time out or no tea tonight. Mam can also be very worried about you, that's what mammies do all around the world. :smallfrown:

I can understand that. :smallfrown: The thought of me being shipped makes me feel like laughing a bit but also makes me very nervous. Even if the shipping does not involve curses.

Hehe awe. :smallsmile: There's a lot of sweetness here it seems.

I was laughing because of not having heard of people referred to that way at all ever, but I guess now I see what you mean, and it seems nice. :smallsmile: So you just keep on being all mammy-like, it's a good thing.


Yeah, I keep slamming into them facefirst and bumping my nose on the door.

I have been informed it is very cute.

Hmm and who exactly says that this is cute? :smalltongue: Also is your nose okay?


My choices:
1) Cake
2) Maybe cake later
3) Cake + maybe cake later

Anyone that chooses something besides option three should give me the one they passed up. :smalltongue:

Bah.

:smalltongue:

Don't you glower at me, that was damn funny. I can't decide if I the book's ending or the movie's ending was funnier, though. The book has the hilarious part where Lennie is hallucinating, but the movie is just hilariously abrupt. :smallbiggrin:

I would pick 4, all of the above. :smallbiggrin: I have a crazy sweet tooth, and I need to emulate Honey-sempai more anyway.

But it wasn't funny! :smallconfused: I mean yeah, the abruptness was kinda. But still...so sad. :smallfrown:


No, the wavy knife is for bread and other foodstuff with a hard crust, and has a tendency to curve toward one side or another (which is annoying when you try to make straight slices). Meat should be cut with a straight, sharp edge.

Also, ow! I hope it isn't too deep...

Welcome to my life. I blame this for one of the reasons to why I can't gain weight...

ION:
Wow, so much physical work. We've gotten a new lawnmower which turns 2 dm tall grass into golf greens with little to no effort, and I've been running around with it until the sweat pours down my face. Good thing we have a lake to dive straight into...

Oh is this so? I am personally terrible with knowing which tool to use for what. And I'd prefer not to follow in the example of others and cut myself deep using the wrong knife. :smalleek: Injuries bother me.

Here! Take some of my weight away! Take a bunch! :smallfrown:

Hehe nice, teaching that grass a lesson. :smalltongue: Got a lake over here too but no one to go with, and I don't want to go down there alone and without snacks. :smallsigh:


No it wasn't, it was sad! Like Old Yeller, but with a human instead of a dog.

Seriously, I cannot even comprehend how anyone could possibly find that funny.

I definitely agree. :smallfrown: I never saw Old Yeller but I heard it all, how it went. Though I can compare it in sadness to Where the Red Fern Grows. So much sad. W must dispel the sad.


Also to everyone again good morning/afternoon/evening! :smallbiggrin: Gotta love waking up by a leg cramp.

[Dimonite]

It was the opposite of sad! The only thing even remotely sad about it was the fact that someone died, which is overshadowed by how hilarious the events immediately prior to that are.

I can sort of understand why you might find it sad (Lennie does die), but I assure you, it was funny as hell. I'm not entirely sure how you missed that bit. :smallconfused:

And what, exactly, was hilarious about the series of events wherein Lennie accidentally kills someone and he and George have to run for their lives?

Being a wean is not a matter of physical size. It's a state of mind, just like Finland. :smallcool:

Stupid Ninja Amidus... Ruining my day and everything...

Everyone who's willing to eat sweet things more than a regular human being does (aka me of course :smallcool:) is sweet toothed. Not sure about you eating a good variety of things, though, Mr. Crisps.

AMIDUS! STOP POKING ME! *throws soil on you*

"Hrm... I feel Finnish today, don't know why."
"Nah, man; it's just a state of mind."
:smallbiggrin:

Bah, it's only lunchtime! I've hardly had time to ruin your day. :smalltongue:

Hey, I've eaten a slice of cold pizza, I'm set for the day, right? :smallamused:

:smallbiggrin:


I'm...REALLY not seeing it. Two people died, one accidently, one "executed in a humane way to avoid torture to death via lynching", and many lives are ruined.


But it wasn't funny! :smallconfused: I mean yeah, the abruptness was kinda. But still...so sad. :smallfrown:


I believe this (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Narm) accurately describes the phenomenon. Also, this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schadenfreude) is relevant.


Oh, it's more complicated than just that which makes you complicated like a puzzlebox with no seams.

Or what?~ :smallamused: No worries, Nom Ami. :smallcool:

Just would like to point out that this sentence makes very little sense. :smallwink:

OR I WILL BREAK YOU

"Falter" :smalltongue:

Anyone who has anything resembling common sense, anyway.


And what, exactly, was hilarious about the series of events wherein Lennie accidentally kills someone and he and George have to run for their lives?

Do you mean the beginning? That wasn't really funny, no. Neither was the part where Curly's wife died, for that matter. Those aren't what I'm talking about.

[Feytalist]

Kids are pretty cool.

That's... sort of the opposite of my views on the subject.


To paraphrase that one comedian, once they're old enough to be in my phone book, I'll start paying attention to them.

Hmm I kinda see why you say it is funny. I hope I'm not being pushy or offensive at all in saying that I still feel it is sad, mainly because I really liked Lenny and having him die was terrible. :smallfrown: It was to save him from a terrible fate but still...at least it was quick and over with.

[FinnLassie]

*pats* I'm sorry.

*eats lollie, stick and all* g'narf. g'narf. g'narf. Good nap at least.

You better be. I... I didn't even get to have any cheese! :smallfrown:

Bwahah. Well, good you had the stick too since I don't have any rubbish bins around here.


I can understand that. :smallfrown: The thought of me being shipped makes me feel like laughing a bit but also makes me very nervous. Even if the shipping does not involve curses.

Well I think it is good. So long as I am not getting (frequently) stabbed. As if I can really stop it anyway , but I should at least ask...

Aww but he is good! I wish I could smile as much as he does and he kicks so much butt! :smallbiggrin: And I am kinda a cake fan, so there is that too.

So you had fun with your nephew then? Got no nieces or nephews of my own yet, but I know someday.. :smallsigh:

Hehe that little song. :smallamused:

Really?? It is almost 10 am here. :smalleek: And I even slept a bit more than usual....until I got woken up. :smallmad:

Seconding what LaZodiac said! Pizza is delicious with veggies!


Now to make myself breakfast, trying to get actual breakfasty stuff and not just make ramen noodles, though I may be losing that fight in the end.

The past is a wonderful place. It's much more comforting than the future. Also, I'd protest that I live in the present. :smalltongue:

There are green peppers and onions on this pizza (among various meats), so I think I'm doing just fine, thank you. :smalltongue:

*narrows eyes* This means war. :smallcool:

[Taet]

I don't mind that people play like a family. I just have no idea how to play like a family. I didn't when I was a kid and I don't now. Did I miss something?


Now to make myself breakfast, trying to get actual breakfasty stuff and not just make ramen noodles, though I may be losing that fight in the end.

There is enough boiling water in a kettle to make one cup of tea plus one bowl of ramen noodles. That is a sign. Ramen for breakfast. Mine was shrimp.

I enjoy it when I can but my family set ups are just so odd. Like how I am a minion to one of my best friends and yet a henchman to another, which are both somehow different, and sometimes counted as an uncle to a friend that I treat as a sister...all kinds of loops and ties. It isn't really about knowing how. It's just doing whatever comes naturally, at least to me that is how it seems. I don't actively try to be the way that I am.

Yes, a sign! It must be true! :smalltongue: I got myself pork ramen with garlic and onions. Mmmm...

[enderlord99]

[REDACTED#1] once shipped me with [REDACTED#2] without even meaning to. I got angry, partly because he used the wrong name, but it turned out he wasn't even trying to talk about me; he was listing [REDACTED#2, AGAIN]'s nicknames. It was kind of funny, after it got explained.

(Names have been redacted because I try to be polite (even if I rarely manage). You know who you are, presumably.)

[FinnLassie]

That's a cute song, though a bit clunky on the tune.

Pizza can have vegetables!

I know, I know. That's just part of the Finnish state of mind, though. We're not tactful at all. :smallbiggrin:

Silly thing! What I stated here was "pizza is not a vegetable", which refers to a certain derp conducted in the US of A. Pizza with vegetables, lots of them, is amazing though. :smallbiggrin:

If you behave nicely, you might get a slice of my belated birthday cake next week. :smalltongue:

Yep, had lots of fun with him, although I was feeling a bit ill. He slept through the night with no interruptions too which is amazing. :smallbiggrin:

Yay cake! *sits and acts good*

Well that's nice. Glad you were able to get at least some rest. I am hoping you feel well soon, if you aren't already.

I think I got that. :smallbiggrin: I know a couple people from other countries but I'm pretty sure you're the only one I know from Finland. Got a couple friends in England, there was a guy I spoke to alot in Germany though we don't really talk anymore. That's about it actually. :smallredface:

Agreed on this! And I know that feeling, I'm always worrying when I shouldn't. :smallsmile: It's just a state of being really.

Well, you're half right. Australians definitely live in the future. :smallcool:

Nay, Lassie, I'll do none of that. :smalltongue:

I'm afraid you've brought a spork to a tree fight. *unsheaths oak*

Ah, you're not as high maintenance as Amidus is! :smallbiggrin:

I can be good and calm and polite when there is something I like or need at stake. :smallbiggrin: Otherwise I'm a little ball of energy that acts way younger than I actually am. I think.

Ah pretty cool. I guess that means I get to use you as my views on all Finns then. :smallwink:

I've got a major respect for knives, and really don't like when people point them in my direction, even if I'm a meter away. I can handle a knife pretty well myself, though, so I seldom cut myself, thankfully. Last time it was but a small cut, but the injury throbbed for days...


Here! Take some of my weight away! Take a bunch! :smallfrown:

I'd love to, but I just fear it'll have the wrong texture. "Matter", I call it, not having enough taste to justify eating, so I always cut it away...


Hehe nice, teaching that grass a lesson. :smalltongue: Got a lake over here too but no one to go with, and I don't want to go down there alone and without snacks. :smallsigh:

Bring a lawn mover with you and get medieval on some grass. Afterwards, you'll long for the cooling company of the lake... :smallwink:

[Deathkeeper]

Ah. Well, on the bright side, at least you get to work and make money.

Fair enough. I still have the decent pizza, at least.
Otherwise, decent day. Had some stuff to do, had crumb cake, and since Balldanor posted in that campaign of ours it's been a while three rounds without a player dropping out!

[FinnLassie]

Heh yeah I get what you mean, I can't explain America at all. Probably because I try not to get involved in general things around here. That's an interesting image you conjure up though. :smalltongue: Mmm vodka...link to puukko?

I can be good and calm and polite when there is something I like or need at stake. :smallbiggrin: Otherwise I'm a little ball of energy that acts way younger than I actually am. I think.

Elk meat? Wow that sounds pretty interesting. Could be quite tasty.

Heh this battle shall be fun to watch. :smallamused: "Ah! You have a whip! Why do you have a whip?" "For whipping."

This (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puukko) here is a puukko. Ignore the mora knife though, they're blasphemy.

*checks profile* 21? Ah, Haluesen, that's still relatively young! Just depends how ya take it. :smallbiggrin:

It is rather tasty, especially as a steak.

Oh! Hm. I... I actually have a reason I have these whips! *presents her collection* these two were for riding horses, and these we made with our friends, this, I don't know where it came from...


Heheheh, this mental image is hilarious. :smallamused:

That's saying quite a lot, because I'm about as low-maintenance as it gets. :smalltongue: Provide me with electricity, internet, and a little bit of food, and I'm set for weeks. :smalltongue:

All pizzas should contain meat. Mmm... elk-pizza...

>.>
<.<
*runs away*

Your nickname, Finn. :smallwink: (not that I really called attention to it... you not noticing it would be my fault.)

:smallamused:

You're high maintenance in the sense that you require much of my nerves, lad... :smalltongue:

It was epic, let me tell you. :smallcool:

Ahhhh. Solitude in the corner, finally.

Ah, right, sorry. I'll get to you with that in the next couple of hours...



And yes. Elk-pizza. :smalltongue:

:cool:

[TaiLiu]

Fair enough. I still have the decent pizza, at least.
Otherwise, decent day. Had some stuff to do, had crumb cake, and since Balldanor posted in that campaign of ours it's been a while three rounds without a player dropping out!
Hooray. :vaarsuvius:

[Deathkeeper]

Oh, cheer up, you. You're doing fine, given the circumstances. And you don't have to if you don't want to.

[TaiLiu]

Oh, cheer up, you. You're doing fine, given the circumstances. And you don't have to if you don't want to.
Oh, don't worry; I'm not unhappy, just tired.

In Other News: Our rusty old mousetrap had captured a mouse. It keeps trying to chew through the metal, and I'm afraid it might succeed.

[Coidzor]

Just would like to point out that this sentence makes very little sense. :smallwink:

OR I WILL BREAK YOU

"Falter" :smalltongue:

Anyone who has anything resembling common sense, anyway.

Of course not. And lose the source of my powers? poppycock.

What sick man sends babies to fight me?

Walter. :smallwink:

So I guess in the end, no one.


You better be. I... I didn't even get to have any cheese! :smallfrown:

Bwahah. Well, good you had the stick too since I don't have any rubbish bins around here.

Hmm. I think I will have a little cheesey tortilla for a snack, maybe with some leftover sloppy joe and hot sauce for a quick and dirty and completely inauthentic pseudorrito.

Bad habit from my youth. I'd completely unravel and chew up the paper that made up the sticks of lollypops like dum-dums until they disintegrated or I had a missile weapon to use against birds/lizards/toads.


Oh, don't worry; I'm not unhappy, just tired.

In Other News: Our rusty old mousetrap had captured a mouse. It keeps trying to chew through the metal, and I'm afraid it might succeed.

Um. You need to either mercykill it or otherwise dispose of it at this point. :smallconfused:

[Haluesen]

I can sympathize there. :smallsmile: I know they aren't toys, but I have a small collection that I want to build up. My mom inspired me to.

That's understandable. :smallfrown: *sigh* I want to lose weight...worse, it is nearly lunch time.

Heh, there is basically no grass near the lake here, and where there is there are more rocks then grass. Not worth it. :smalltongue: If I could find some friends who wanted to swim then I absolutely (okay maybe) would.

Oh! Hm. I... I actually have a reason I have these whips! *presents her collection* these two were for riding horses, and these we made with our friends, this, I don't know where it came from...

Ah I like it! I shall find some way to add one to my collection. :smallbiggrin:

Yeah I as still quite young. :smallredface: I just tend to act more childish around some people. Sometimes it is just to be at ease and kind, other times it is to get people to lower their guard and be unsuspecting. :smallwink:

I know I have had venison once or twice but I am not sure if that is the same thing, and that is the only exotic meat I have eaten, unless you count squid jerky.

Hehe well whatever works for you. :smalltongue: I have my collection of knives, think I have like 10 now? I also used to have a double-sided battle axe, but that is gone. :smallfrown:

[Dimonite]

Good, eat the rest of them too, I don't particularly like them. *shoves down throat*


OM NOM NOM!



One day you will learn, young padawan.


And when I have, then can I get a bismark? I like bismarks...



If you want to stab someone and you know it clap your hands!
If you want to stab someone and you know it clap your hands!
If you want to stab someone, well, then you really must be Finnish,
If you want to stab someone and you know it clap your hands!


Wait... so I'm Finnish all of a sudden? :smallconfused:
I want to stab so many people...


[REDACTED#1] once shipped me with [REDACTED#2] without even meaning to. I got angry, partly because he used the wrong name, but it turned out he wasn't even trying to talk about me; he was listing [REDACTED#2, AGAIN]'s nicknames. It was kind of funny, after it got explained.


Well, I don't mind saying that I'm Redacted #1. And boy was I ever confused that day. :smalltongue:



Silly thing! What I stated here was "pizza is not a vegetable", which refers to a certain derp conducted in the US of A. Pizza with vegetables, lots of them, is amazing though. :smallbiggrin:


The only veggies I want on my pizza are onions.



One is never too old to play! Nah, to me it's just a natural role, I suppose. Taking care about things, worrying about things I shouldn't worry about. It's ok, wean. *pats on head*

Agreed. I still play Euchre with my grandfather (and father, and uncles) at every opportunity. He wins every time though, being the sly old fellow that he is.

[Amidus Drexel]

Yeahhh, I know that feel. I need food, basic housing, running water, electricity, communication, and music. That's all I need. Oh and access to medical stuff if needbe.

And yes. Elk-pizza. :smalltongue:

Indeed. (although I'm far too stubborn/prideful to see a doctor).

:smallcool:



You're high maintenance in the sense that you require much of my nerves, lad... :smalltongue:

It was epic, let me tell you. :smallcool:

Ahhhh. Solitude in the corner, finally.

Ah, right, sorry. I'll get to you with that in the next couple of hours...

:smalltongue: yourself.

I bet. :smallcool:

The corner comes with me. :smalltongue:

http://cdn.iwastesomuchtime.com/9152012004322nXqEh.jpeg


Of course not. And lose the source of my powers? poppycock.

What sick man sends babies to fight me?

So I guess in the end, no one.

Sure, sure. :smalltongue:

Hrm... couldn't be me, I'm not ill... Mr. Curie, perhaps?

Speak for yourself. I've got enough common sense to go about things in such a way. :smalltongue:

[TaiLiu]

Um. You need to either mercykill it or otherwise dispose of it at this point. :smallconfused:
Oh, I know. I'm still deciding.

[randman22222]

Indeed. (although I'm far too stubborn/prideful to see a doctor).

:smallcool:
Then you would have died two years ago if you were me. :smallsmile:

[Teddy]

I can sympathize there. :smallsmile: I know they aren't toys, but I have a small collection that I want to build up. My mom inspired me to.

Yeah, I honestly find a good knife quite cool as well and was quite proud the day I got my first knife, but ever since I had a biking accident a little more than three years ago (nothing serious, but I had to have my arm wrapped in bandages for two weeks), I've been highly wary of anything which can cause injuries to me, and especially knives for some reason...


That's understandable. :smallfrown: *sigh* I want to lose weight...worse, it is nearly lunch time.

And I want to stop doing the same... :smallfrown:


Heh, there is basically no grass near the lake here, and where there is there are more rocks then grass. Not worth it. :smalltongue: If I could find some friends who wanted to swim then I absolutely (okay maybe) would.

Well, good luck with that! :smallsmile:

[Haluesen]

And I want to stop doing the same... :smallfrown:



Well, good luck with that! :smallsmile:

I guess that could make someone nervous about them. Never had a serious injury but worried enough about it that I just generally be careful. I like the knives I have, just wish I had a better way to display them.

I'm sure we'll both work it out. :smallsmile: Cheers and well wishes!

It shouldn't be too hard, I have enough friends I acn get ahold of. Maybe talk some family into coming up to visit and swim and have sandwiches. :smallbiggrin:

[FinnLassie]

Hmm. I think I will have a little cheesey tortilla for a snack, maybe with some leftover sloppy joe and hot sauce for a quick and dirty and completely inauthentic pseudorrito.

Pseudorrito... I just... You 'Murricans come up with the weirdest things let me tell you. :smalltongue: What's a sloppy joe?


Ah I like it! I shall find some way to add one to my collection. :smallbiggrin:

I know I have had venison once or twice but I am not sure if that is the same thing, and that is the only exotic meat I have eaten, unless you count squid jerky.

Hehe well whatever works for you. :smalltongue: I have my collection of knives, think I have like 10 now? I also used to have a double-sided battle axe, but that is gone. :smallfrown:

:smallredface: it is always a jolly feeling when someone compliments your nation's knife... :smallredface:

It's been a very long time since I had venison, I think... Although now I'm not sure if I've had it at all. :smallconfused: Or then I've just been eating elk and bear...

Oh! Oh! Knives and axes! One of my favourite things to talk about! :smallbiggrin: *shakes hand*


OM NOM NOM!

And when I have, then can I get a bismark? I like bismarks...

Wait... so I'm Finnish all of a sudden? :smallconfused:
I want to stab so many people...

Please, consume all of it.

What are those?

It's a state of mind... A state of mind, my lad. :smallamused:


The corner comes with me. :smalltongue:

http://cdn.iwastesomuchtime.com/9152012004322nXqEh.jpeg

*clutches onto you* WHEREVER THE CORNER GOES, THERE I GO. :smallmad:

Hey! I'm not Canadian! Don't you compare me to those polite people! :smallyuk: *kicks*

[Dimonite]

Please, consume all of it.


I will consume pretty much anything you throw my way, as long as it doesn't involve beans of any kind. I'm not allergic or anything, I just hate beans.



What are those?


A bismark is like a chocolate-frosted doughnut, except it doesn't have a hole in the middle and is filled with custard. Or fruit jelly, I suppose, but the custard-filled ones are far superior to their fruit brethren.



It's a state of mind... A state of mind, my lad. :smallamused:


Well, if it's a stabbity state of mind then it's a state of mind I enjoy. :smalltongue:

[Teddy]

I guess that could make someone nervous about them. Never had a serious injury but worried enough about it that I just generally be careful. I like the knives I have, just wish I had a better way to display them.

Hmm, do you keep them in drawers right now, or how do you it? Do you have any ideas of what you want to be visible and where to keep them. Because I think I could come up with something cost-efficient if you're willing to sink a little time and handiwork into it...


I'm sure we'll both work it out. :smallsmile: Cheers and well wishes!

Yeah, it isn't going well, but at least I'm conscious about it and try to eat a little more when I get the chance. And cheers and luck to you too! :smallsmile:


It shouldn't be too hard, I have enough friends I acn get ahold of. Maybe talk some family into coming up to visit and swim and have sandwiches. :smallbiggrin:

[Coidzor]

Hrm... couldn't be me, I'm not ill... Mr. Curie, perhaps?

Speak for yourself. I've got enough common sense to go about things in such a way. :smalltongue:

Hmm, time-traveling retro-steam-zombies, you say? Sounds like something Teddy and Moony would be behind. Or in front of. Running away from them very, very quickly.

I dunno, you seem more like you've got uncommon sense and occasionally second thoughts.

[Amidus Drexel]

Then you would have died two years ago if you were me. :smallsmile:

Further reasons to be glad I am myself. :smallamused:

Plus, I'll never die. Thanks to denial, I'll live forever! :smallcool:


What's a sloppy joe?

*clutches onto you* WHEREVER THE CORNER GOES, THERE I GO. :smallmad:

Hey! I'm not Canadian! Don't you compare me to those polite people! :smallyuk: *kicks*

Delicious. Some are better than others. (never settle for less than Manwich)

Heheheh :smallamused:

Sorry, Finn. I promise won't ever insinuate complimenting you again. :smalltongue: :smallwink:



A bismark is like a chocolate-frosted doughnut, except it doesn't have a hole in the middle and is filled with custard. Or fruit jelly, I suppose, but the custard-filled ones are far superior to their fruit brethren.

Never heard them called Bismarks before... but agreed. Creme beats jelly hands down.

Knowing the two, I'm inclined to say both. Also, this seems like the sort of thing August would be in on. :smallamused:

Well, that would fall in line with me being a witch, I suppose. :smallamused:

[Coidzor]

Oh, I know. I'm still deciding.

How cruel, while it flails there with its back improperly broken. :smallconfused: Almost seems out of character for you.

Or is it one of those traps you use to catch live prey for your cat to practice on/to feed to snakes?


Pseudorrito... I just... You 'Murricans come up with the weirdest things let me tell you. :smalltongue: What's a sloppy joe?

Pseudo-burrito, pseudito? *shrug* A sloppy joe is basically the bastard lovechild of spaghetti sauce, chili, and hamburger. Essentially you take a tomato-based sauce with pureed/finely chopped vegetables and seasonings and spices, mix it with browned, crumbed ground/minced beef(or, I suppose, a mixture of beef & pork or beef and/or pork/chicken/both), mildly reduce it at a simmer long enough for it to soak into the meat, though it usually comes thick enough to eat anyway, and then spread it on the inside of a bun and eat as a sandwich.

Good way to disguise that you're giving a child vegetables by making him think you're just feeding him fatty, unhealthy meat and grease.


:smallredface: it is always a jolly feeling when someone compliments your nation's knife... :smallredface:

They're pretty nifty, even as kitchen knives.


It's been a very long time since I had venison, I think... Although now I'm not sure if I've had it at all. :smallconfused: Or then I've just been eating elk and bear...

I've never noticed a huge difference between elk and venison when I've had them, I must admit. And totally jelly about your level of bear consumption.


Knowing the two, I'm inclined to say both. Also, this seems like the sort of thing August would be in on. :smallamused:

It ground beef mixed with this sauce/mix that I can't fully describe on hamburger buns. It is messy, sloppy as the name says, and utterly delicious. :smallsmile:

You're welcome. :smallbiggrin: I do have a not-low level of admiration for unique blades.

You've had bear. :smalleek: My life is now invalid. I want bear!

Hehe mine too! *shakes back* I got an awesome axe for a gift once that had a cool looking skull in a circle between the two blades of the axe, I loved it and miss it dearly.

Hehe so you have a claimed corner too? I tried to get one but one of my best friends forced me to take a closet instead. :smalltongue:

Ha! So don't call you polite, I understand. :smallamused:


Hmm, do you keep them in drawers right now, or how do you it? Do you have any ideas of what you want to be visible and where to keep them. Because I think I could come up with something cost-efficient if you're willing to sink a little time and handiwork into it...



Yeah, it isn't going well, but at least I'm conscious about it and try to eat a little more when I get the chance. And cheers and luck to you too! :smallsmile:



Well, good luck and have fun! :smallsmile:

Well the smaller knives I keep in a drawer by my best, but the larger and more ornate ones I have lined up on shelves to one side of my room. Which reminds me they are due for a cleaning. I have 3 there, as well as a metal sai that typically goes with them. I don't have any real ideas, so I am up for suggestions. :smallsmile: I just think they deserve better that to be just stowed on some upper shelf were they can barely be seen. :smallfrown:

[Deathkeeper]

Oh, don't worry; I'm not unhappy, just tired.

In Other News: Our rusty old mousetrap had captured a mouse. It keeps trying to chew through the metal, and I'm afraid it might succeed.

Rest well, then, and feel better (and post when you do :smallwink:) !
No really, feel better.

The necessity of mouse traps always saddens me.

[Qwertystop]

A bismark is like a chocolate-frosted doughnut, except it doesn't have a hole in the middle and is filled with custard. Or fruit jelly, I suppose, but the custard-filled ones are far superior to their fruit brethren.

In Trogland (that's what we call the US here, right?), those are Boston creme donuts and jelly donuts, respectively.

[Sabeki]

Darn it, now I want donuts.:smallmad:

[Teddy]

Hmm, time-traveling retro-steam-zombies, you say? Sounds like something Teddy and Moony would be behind. Or in front of. Running away from them very, very quickly.

Hmm, steam-powered zombies, you say? Hmm, I do indeed like steam, but I'm not all too fond of zombies. I mean, sparesly used in a fantasy setting, they're okay, and I think steam plus necromancy would work quite well, but the zombie apocalypse zombies have never been of much interest to me...


You've had bear. :smalleek: My life is now invalid. I want bear!

Meanwhile, I just wants to stay alive. :smalleek:
*hides behind Finns*
You said you wouldn't eat me, right?

Hmm, if you have a relatively large wall space and permission to nail stuff to it, you could try and get your hands on some oversized staples (I've forgotten the Swedish name, so I can't give you an actual name), or just buy a solid steel wire and bend some yourself (and perhaps sharpen the ends with a file) and nail them into the wall to create holders for your knives. They should be wide enough for the knife to slide all the way down to the guard without touching the sides, so that the edge won't get damaged.

If you don't want to do this sort of damage to your wall, or if some of your knives have rather large hilts, you can get a nice-looking plank to nail the holder-thingys into instead, and just nail the plank to the wall instead. The downside to it is that all knives will have to be lined up on perfect rows, which may look good if they're all of similar length, but not necessarily if they're all different...

If you want, you can add another one further down (and nailed deeper into the wall) to force the blade closer to the wall and prevent it from dangling...

It's a bit too late to draw a picture, but if you want some clarification, I can do a quick one tomorrow...

[Amidus Drexel]

Hmm, I suppose you're right, though I wouldn't know if it were the time travel or the zombies that more scream Mr. Pink...

I always knew you were special. So ****ing special. :smalltongue:

The zombies. Definitely. I mean, sure, he lives in the 18th century and has a time-travelling friend that reads his mail and posts it to the internet, but the zombies are something he'd do himself. :smallamused:

I take pride in my specialness. :smalltongue:


In Trogland (that's what we call the US here, right?), those are Boston creme donuts and jelly donuts, respectively.

It may just be a Minnesotan thing. *shrug*

Oh yeah I have tons of wall space. And I am relatively sure it should be alright for me to set things up there. Unfortunately I am terrible at mentally picturing most things, so I only barely get what you mean. Tomorrow, a picture would be grand. :smallbiggrin: But already I am liking the ideas. I'll probably post some pictures of them later, if that is allowed.

[TaiLiu]

No really, feel better.
I will. Thank you!

The necessity of mouse traps always saddens me.
Yes, I find it easier to empathise with mammals than insects.

[Qwertystop]

It may just be a Minnesotan thing. *shrug*

Wow - I spaced and thought it was Finn saying that about the donuts for some reason

[FinnLassie]

A bismark is like a chocolate-frosted doughnut, except it doesn't have a hole in the middle and is filled with custard. Or fruit jelly, I suppose, but the custard-filled ones are far superior to their fruit brethren.

I have to say that this sounds like the most unappealing food after rotten shark heads. :smalleek:



Delicious. Some are better than others. (never settle for less than Manwich)

Heheheh :smallamused:

Sorry, Finn. I promise won't ever insinuate complimenting you again. :smalltongue: :smallwink:


I like how all you guys explain sloppy joe in a different way... Tells about all of you wee people's characters. :smalltongue:

:smallmad:

Ooooh, why hello there, colourful! *cuddles*

... Eww. That just sounds wrong. You... You don't do that to food! Stop that! *taunts with a spoon*

:smallconfused:

*shrug* Only had it twice.


It ground beef mixed with this sauce/mix that I can't fully describe on hamburger buns. It is messy, sloppy as the name says, and utterly delicious. :smallsmile:

You've had bear. :smalleek: My life is now invalid. I want bear!

Hehe mine too! *shakes back* I got an awesome axe for a gift once that had a cool looking skull in a circle between the two blades of the axe, I loved it and miss it dearly.

Hehe so you have a claimed corner too? I tried to get one but one of my best friends forced me to take a closet instead. :smalltongue:

Ha! So don't call you polite, I understand. :smallamused:

... Yeah, not gonna try that one out if I visit the States again. *narrows eyes*

California has no bears?

For me axes are a matter of utility. I like Fiskars' axes the best, although sometimes when we go around and about in the national park, the wood points have their own strange axes... Sometimes extremely good (like, honestly, they feel like that if you were to chop an elephant, it'd feel like going through butter), sometimes horribly bad. It's always best to have your axe with you, in the end, hmmrm... It's also handy to use them as hammers if you forgot one home. Or are too lazy to buy one.

No, no. There's just one corner, and although Amigiggles tried to kick me out, I'm there to stay. *waters her chillies and admires the thisltes*

Wh... What! I am polite! But I'm no Canadian polite! :smallmad: *stomps foot on ground* No cake for you!


Also, Nalle, I would never consume you! You're not a bear that roams the forests, you're Nalle, the one who peacefully lies amongst the blueberries (whilst consuming them)!

I like how all you guys explain sloppy joe in a different way... Tells about all of you wee people's characters. :smalltongue:

... Eww. That just sounds wrong. You... You don't do that to food! Stop that! *taunts with a spoon*


California has no bears?

Americans put men on the moon and put their food in a foil bag. Americans put cheese in cans. With a short spout thing. Shake the can and touch the spout and cheese comes out in a line or a spot or a mess all over the sandwich. Americans put a hot dog on a stick and then in batter and then in frying oil. Doing things to food that no one should do and calling it local cooking is what we do.

California has lots of bears. There is even a bear on the flag. But we think that bears are not wild things to be shot and made into food. Just shot.

[Haluesen]

I have to say that this sounds like the most unappealing food after rotten shark heads. :smalleek:

For me axes are a matter of utility. I like Fiskars' axes the best, although sometimes when we go around and about in the national park, the wood points have their own strange axes... Sometimes extremely good (like, honestly, they feel like that if you were to chop an elephant, it'd feel like going through butter), sometimes horribly bad.

Aww but it is very good! Probably extremely unhealthy, but good! :smalltongue: But okies then Finn we won't force feed it to you. Well I won't, I can't speak for them.

Well there are bears out here, but I don't know any place where you can go get it to eat, and I don't know anyone who hunts, so it is unavailable to me. Even if I could hunt I would be way too terrified to go after one for food unless desperate. As far as animals go my fears are bears, then above that sharks, then just above that bearsharks. Tigers and lions are close to bear. Also stinging or biting insects, those don't count as animals to me though.

Oh I typically see axes as a tool rather than a weapon too, but this was modeled after old medieval battleaxes. This was not something you used casually. Hehe elephant butter!

There is but one corner here, but out in the world there are more corners. Do you hope to conquer them all and grow many thistles? If so I would gladly help. :smallamused:

Aww no. :smallfrown: That's what I get for sarcasm. *goes into closet to cry*

[Drakeburn]

Well, today I fed a cricket to one of the chickens, quit a game, and I for some reason I'm now secretly eating the peanuts that are reserved for the same bird that tried to murder me. :smallamused:

Besides that, I'm trying to come up with a good surname for a pen name.

Any suggestions?

[Dimonite]

It may just be a Minnesotan thing. *shrug*

According to Wikipedia, it's properly called a berliner, but is often referred to as a bismark by Midwesterners and Canadians. It also lists such variations as the aforementioned "Boston cream doughnut."

Were you here when I was talking about putting Jell-o in hamburgers? :smalltongue:

But hey, if you don't like sweets that's fine - more for me!

We don't put cheese in cans! We put cheese product in cans. Dairy was not involved at any point in the creation of cheez-whiz. We do, however, bread and subsequently deep-fry cheese. And as a midwesterner, I've eaten macaroni and lime jell-o. So yes, we do things with food that simply should not be done. :smalltongue:

Like deep-fried Twinkies, or peanut butter funnel cake, or pretty much any food you can buy at a carnival.

Don't forget flavored, breaded, and deep-fried butter. Also, I think the stuff that comes in cans is just cheez or "cheese" rather than cheese.

Indeed, you have to get up to Alaska or Appalachia before you find people who'll eat barr for some strange reason. Maybe the Californian barr are protected so it's OK to kill them but not to eat them, or maybe they're too fishy.

Perhaps. What information each of us considers important to tell you about it. :smallamused:

:smalltongue:

In all honesty, it really does taste good. You'd be missing out if you turned it down.

I don't remember trying to kick you out... I remember wanting to kick you out, but then you informed me that the plants were chilies, and you gave me cake. :smallbiggrin:

That's mostly just you midwesterners. :smallwink:

Mmm... funnel cake... never had it with peanut butter, though I bet that's delicious.

Dimmsdale? Tillsdale? Marshall? Mayor? Livingstone? Finkelstein? Morkowitz? Butcher? Baker? Cook? King? von Bismarck? Stoker? Sheffield? Dea (http://www.houseofnames.com/Death-history?A=54323-292)th?

Would you have the world be any other way? You can always tell a lot about a person based upon how they approach and think about food. You can tell that I'm a culturally imperialist swine based upon how I really like pork and whenever I encounter foreign cuisine and begin to understand it I want to apply and mix it with my knowledge of my own ethnic cuisine. :smallamused: Amidus is quite correct about Manwich (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCuuGNc96lw)being the superior brand though. There is, however, something to be said for making it yourself.
(http://youtu.be/H7wYECUvLE0?t=1m59s)
What in particular don't you do? Crumble up cooked ground beef rather than forming it into patties prior to cooking? Incorporate vegetables into a sauce? Eat a thick sauce as part of a sandwich? :smallconfused:

Never heard of children not wanting to eat vegetables or otherwise being difficult about it? A common technique for dealing with it is to puree the vegetables and incorporate them into a sauce or stew or other food where the child won't notice their presence. Sort of like weaning your pet turtle to eat carrots by feeding it a mixture of carrots and ground beef and slowly changing the ratio of carrot to beef until there's no more beef.

That's more than I've gotten to have it at least. Still jelly, but less so. ...I want both a pet bear and to eat a bear at the same time right now. :smallconfused:

Arguably that should make his flesh more succulent and sweet, even as his cruelty knows no bounds.

Um....... I don't know.........

At second thought, I think I'll go with "Hills"

Hills and not Hill, eh? Never heard of that one before.

What first name are you pairing with it? December Hills? :smallconfused: hmmmm

I think it tastes pretty bad. Then again, my experiences are limited.

[LaZodiac]

Hello everyone. I am now back from the work. Yaaay.

How's everyone doing tonight?

[MoonCat]

Cake baking makes MoonCat sleepy. At least I appear to be improving in the craft.

[Amidus Drexel]

You've probably just had it made poorly. To each their own, though; more for me. :smallcool:


How's everyone doing tonight?

Awake, slightly hungry, and boredish. (I may attend to one of those momentarily). My fast PbP is moving very slowly today, and while the slow one has picked up a bit, it's still pretty slow.

[LaZodiac]

Cake baking makes MoonCat sleepy. At least I appear to be improving in the craft.

Awesome! Can you bake me a cake, perhaps?

@Amidus: Aaah, that's a shame.

Well, I've baked two today, but they're both for my dad's birthday.m:smalltongue:

Yes, probably. I don't know where to get quality American food, unfortunately.

Well, I've baked two today, but they're both for my dad's birthday.m:smalltongue:
Hooray! Tell your father the Random Banter thread said 'Happy Birthday!'

Excellent! Send my greetings to your boss!

Woot improvement! This is very good. :smallsmile: I need to follow suit and learn to bake great cookies.
