The rules of Random Banter
(Please follow these to ensure a safe and pleasant journey)

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.

Now, on with the usual weirdness.

Nope. Yung Lean takes influence from Japanese retrofuturist culture, for sure, but he's very much a product of Sweden.

Here's the video in question. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stgrSjynPKs)

It's pretty freaking stupid. It's clear he wants to emulate other abstract rappers like Viper or Lil B, but he doesn't have the charisma, the work ethic or the imagination to pull it off.

That sounds perfect to me, although I'm not certain about the Dublin part.

I shall myself, like any good Roman, be escaping the enervation of city life next weekend to enjoy the invigorating masculinity of the countryside. There is a rough small-town bar I may visit in the company of some rustic fellows, and I dare not guess into what kind of trouble we might get ourselves.

There is little other news from these Prairies; the temperatures have fallen far below freezing again, but the radiant sun still tickles away the snow cover day by day. And as the weather warms I am driven closer and closer to acquiring two budgies for my home. We shall see. I have this feeling that, should anybody who knows me here visit my home, they would be disappointed if I had no budgies.

Indeed. I only recently figured out that suicide by sticking one's head in the oven was accomplished by inhaling the gas. I used to think it was by slowly burning your head to a crisp, and wondered why somebody wouldn't try something faster.

So, I've said this before, but sometimes I get sleepy, but still able to message friends online. Just had a few quite hilarious ones happen last night, that I'd like to share. First one was direct to one friend, second directed to three friends. Specifically, the people involved are Blue, Blue again, Mystic Muse, and someone named Hawk who may or may not be known as Hawk on the forums

I will
*nuggl4w qne tqrps you

Hello Rencca *hugs*
Sleepwell
You also slee well Gred

and also friednyl friend

Wow, the first one was hard to decipher. I got "*snuggles and", but the "tqrps" eludes me, mostly because "gafpx" isn't a word... http://i.imgur.com/ZRHtTJs.png

Teddiferousness! I did see it, much to my enduring delight. I have, in fact, been trying to figure out if there is an efficient way to import quotes from the closed thread to here for replying. So far it looks like it must be done manually, which means I probably won't. -- either way, rest assured that it has been duly saved and filed both for posterity and for its adorability.. :smallsmile:

Yay! http://i.imgur.com/gh2zaGF.png

And as for transfering quotes, yeah, that's an issue I've been thinking about as well. Plain text is pretty easy, but formatting and images are worse...

I am disappointed every day I come home to nobudgie. ;___; But there are a lot of factors at play here, the aforementioned mice being one of them.

Aww. I hope you'll find some remedy to your dearth of featherlings soon... http://i.imgur.com/jLvmsd9.png

At work today a letter came in the mail from Belgium. It is handwritten on very nice paper in charmingly imperfect English. Unfortunately they are looking for information we do not have, but it was such a treat nevertheless. I shall reply in kind.

Sounds like a nice everyday extraordinary moment... http://i.imgur.com/jLvmsd9.png

ION:Scything is fun but slightly scary. I stood the scythe on the ground and tossed a dandelion stem at it. It was cut in two. Made me quite nervous when I was putting the sheath on. That thing is sharp, man. :smalleek:

That sounds like the best scythe ever! I'd love to swing such a thing over the fields of our summer farm... http://i.imgur.com/jLvmsd9.png

No, it's an electric oven. Part of the towel was dangling down and actually made contact with the heating element, causing it to very nearly catch fire. It was glowing when I pulled it out, but I stomped on it a few times and prevented any actual conflagration.

Ahh, I see.
...
Why does your oven have exposed heating elements at the bottom? I mean, things may drip down on them to a completely different extent than those at the top...

I actually set a steak on fire once. But it was a small fire, quickly extinguished, and I think it actually made the steak taste better.

Well, it definitely made it more carcinogenous, at least... http://i.imgur.com/ZRHtTJs.png

What are you reading?

A review of Red Hood and the Outlaws #1, with some full on pages attached. (specifically the comment referred to how Starfire's character was being portrayed)

Sure, it's probably good form to read something all the way through to determine if it's garbage...
... but frankly I think I saw enough. :smallannoyed:

Also: Is there a REASON Apple now makes everything a single clean, bright color? MAYBE 2 bright colors? It's ugly as hell and gives me a headache...

No, I don't. I'm fine with tap water.
The thing is, it's whisky in Scotland, whiskey elsewhere. :smallwink:

The Opening of The Sixth Seal. The painting itself was so immensely powerful as it's massive and just... oozes all these levels of darkness and despair, but the print does it enough justice to slap on my wall.

Why would one country resist using a superior spelling adapted by the rest of the world?
*insert statement here about U.S. being only country that resists using a superior system of measurement used by the rest of the world*

A quick Google Image search let me see that the painting that you are referring to really is magnificent. It must be cool to have in poster format.

This time around the doctor said she's pregnant. She's now been instructed to take the test, home version, three more times. Once now (which came back negative) and two tomorrow. We'll find out when we find out.

On the plus side, we do know what we're doing if the answer is yes. Can't talk about that for reasons so lets just focus on the good things! Like Steins;Gate and how amazing it is. EL PSY CONGROO.

[new thread intensifies]

Hey guys, I'm back from Ireland. Summary of Ireland: Dublin, field, field, sheep, field, cows, sheep, sheep, field, cows, field, sheep, field, field, cows, sheep. And a bit of trees. Plus some mountains in the distance.

Going back this summer. My cousins are great. :smallbiggrin:

Sounds quite interesting, I think. :smallbiggrin: Glad you had fun Fynni (does trying to spell it that way even work? meh).

*gavottes*
*fast-forwards about 350 years*

How are you folks? I've been absent due to play stuffs. And baking. But hey - I learned that I shouldn't use hand towels as oven mitts because the dangly parts could very nearly catch fire!

Hi there Dimo! :smallsmile: Have you been well? Other than the nearly catching fire...that sounds rather unpleasant. :smalleek: Ooh what kinda baking?

The owls are not what they seem

-_- ...you just had to say that and scare me for the rest of the day. never seen the series but I know exactly what you are referring to...

i had to close my other internet tab, because i had accidentally entered the dark side of youtube :smalleek:

Heh I love this picture. Nice choice. :smallbiggrin: But truly, YouTube can get scary. Or annoying. Either way. :smallannoyed:

Oh, 'tis wonderful sitting in the garden on a sunny morning, watching big chickens and little chickens and sparrows zip around and collect all they can from the ground, while drawing and dozing.

Also, I loathe when one eats all but one of something, and then peers at the last one as one is about to eat it and discovers it has a dot of blue mold. :smalleek:

Ah, hello Cuth! ^_^ You really like watching the birds then? I can imagine it would be nice to see. But...oh dear. :smalleek: I've had that feeling too. It's enough to make me sick on its own. I hope you are okay. You probably got the ones that were still good though, hopefully.

Can you really have a home without there being a pet in it? Budgie, cat, dog, ferret...
It is awful to have to move all the time and not have a pet. That is why I got a betta tank right away when I moved to this house. Even that was more than I had before. He has been on expensive betta food for a few months now and it has made his color stronger. And he will still not eat tiny flies when they fall in the tank. :smalltongue:

Oh, 'tis wonderful sitting in the garden on a sunny morning, watching big chickens and little chickens and sparrows zip around and collect all they can from the ground, while drawing and dozing.

Also, I loathe when one eats all but one of something, and then peers at the last one as one is about to eat it and discovers it has a dot of blue mold. :smalleek:
What a wonderful way to draw! :smallsmile:

But finding the mold is not so good. I hope nothing else you ate tasted moldy. :smallyuk:

Indeed. I only recently figured out that suicide by sticking one's head in the oven was accomplished by inhaling the gas. I used to think it was by slowly burning your head to a crisp, and wondered why somebody wouldn't try something faster.

I am disappointed every day I come home to nobudgie. ;___; But there are a lot of factors at play here, the aforementioned mice being one of them.

It sounds transcendent, aside from the mold. You know what I look forward to? A glass of chilled white wine in the garden of a scorching June afternoon. The garden is bristling with adolescent vegetables, and fluffy birds are mucking around on the fence.

At work today a letter came in the mail from Belgium. It is handwritten on very nice paper in charmingly imperfect English. Unfortunately they are looking for information we do not have, but it was such a treat nevertheless. I shall reply in kind.
That confused me too when I was a kid. It was dangerous but that was because it hurt. And somehow I figured out that people were doing it to not be hurt but could not figure out how a hot oven did not hurt. :smallconfused:

Why are mice a problem for budgies? :smallconfused:

Good. As long as the birds are on the fence and not eating the adolescent vegetables. :smallwink:

Who still hand writes letters? :smallconfused:

hello banterers, i've had an interesting few days, i went to my mate's (Australian (Noun): Friend) 18th birthday, we went to an all you can eat restaurant, and continued our tradition of making the most vile drink possible
yeah, the drink was bad, it was originally about half a cup of red fanta, then the following ingredients, and then some, were added: a whole shrimp, tiramisu, icecream, a spoonful of tart, sticky black rice, etc
it wasn't as bad as i first expected, it was kind of sweet, but then someone drank some, and they spat it into a cup, the contents of that cup were then poured back into the drink, after that we refused to touch it

Dear Taetillator,

The mice will go into their cage at night and eat seeds, waking and terrifying the poor fluffs. It has happened before.

I have learned the hard way that I need to guard my strawberries with mesh: but what about the raspberries? How can you enclose a sprawling giant thorn demon? What about grapes? I fear for my precious fruitables, all of which should produce hugely now that they have had their two summers to establish. ;___; Help me.

Thanks. There is a pair of them who feed in the backyard. Somehow, none of the birds have realized that it is safer and better to go straight to the birdfeeder rather than eating seeds under it.

Well... you swing an extremely sharp blade in a scything method. Waaay funner than a lawnmower. The problem is getting the angle just right so as to cut the maximum of grass. Also edges of things. I want to use one in a big open field sometime. I may have to visit Teddy someday, we'll see.

Yeah, that's what they are. Some company somewhere realized that people like making domino structures and decided to sell domino-sized plastic rectangles in very large quantities for that purpose. Cheaper, and a set of dominoes is too small to build much.

This, mostly. There's actually a lot of technique to it, because not only do you want to maximise the amount of grass cut, you also want to keep an as sharp angle to the grass as possible to cut it properly, especially if your scythe isn't as sharp as Cuth's.

And you'll be very welcome, Cutie-Lion! We can always use another hand to keep those fields properly tended to. The trees kind of want to reclaim them...

No, it's an electric oven. Part of the towel was dangling down and actually made contact with the heating element, causing it to very nearly catch fire. It was glowing when I pulled it out, but I stomped on it a few times and prevented any actual conflagration.
That is scary! How long did it touch the heating wire? How fast was that? :smalleek:

I don't actually own oven mitts or measuring cups. I've been borrowing measuring cups from the dorm front desk, but what I didn't know was that they also had mitts available. Learn something new every day! :smallbiggrin:
But it is a good idea that the front desk keeps the kitchen stuff safe. :smallredface:

Oh how sweet! Those fly through here but they do not stay.

Hey, so, a realization. Our dog has miss matched coloured claws. Some are black, some are white with a pink tinge. Why is this?
What I wonder about are whiskers that start growing out black but then go white. It is like all the color is on the inside. Claws are a little like that too but not as easy to see. :smallredface:

It's obvious, really:

It was constructed out of the parts of many other dogs.

Okay, I've got a question, and I'm hoping you guys can help me. Recently, while playing League of Legends, my internet just up and DIES, for no reason, and it takes like 30 minutes to fix it, and by then the game's over or I've been disconnected so long that the connection between my computer and the server's just broke. Does anyone know what's wrong and how to fix it? Short of just banning everyone from using the internet but me, in the vain hope that that'll work?

Dear Taetillator,

The mice will go into their cage at night and eat seeds, waking and terrifying the poor fluffs. It has happened before.

I have learned the hard way that I need to guard my strawberries with mesh: but what about the raspberries? How can you enclose a sprawling giant thorn demon? What about grapes? I fear for my precious fruitables, all of which should produce hugely now that they have had their two summers to establish. ;___; Help me.
Oh! I never thought that the seed was the problem. :smallfrown: But then I am not sure what I thought. That the budgies would try and attack the mice? That the mice would chew on the tails of the budgies? :smalleek:

I do not know how the grape farms keep the birds off the grapes. I should go down there and ask. And also ask how to get a local wine bottle sealed with duty free tape so it can go on a plane in luggage and not get poured out at the security line. Small local wine growers do not make tiny airplane friendly bottles most of the time and there is a wine drinker on the other end of a flight from here.

Roger is my Mom's partner. He cooks but 95% of the time he only cooks for himself.

*pokes about things I've requested. Sorry to nag!

To prove things a little, here is how many problems I'd have today if my sister at our Dad's instead of here, and her boyfriend was gone.

[blank space]

Nothing. Because they wouldn't have all their **** clogging up the internet, straining our ****ty router/modem, and they wouldn't be bothering me with their occasional fighting and heavy drug use in the house.

Here is what I had to deal with today because they are here.

1: Couldn't cook lunch for myself because it's too stressful to cook in the house with so many people
2: Internet occasionally dies due to them over using it with all their stupid phones. This lead to a bunch of other issues, but in short I wasted 5 hours of my day fixing the internet.
3: Had my personal time interrupted due to them fighting over him getting a hair cut.
4: Had to continue to worry about being told sister might be pregnant.

Hi there Dimo! :smallsmile: Have you been well? Other than the nearly catching fire...that sounds rather unpleasant. :smalleek: Ooh what kinda baking?

Hey, Hal! I've been pretty good. In fact, I'm surprisingly healthy, given the fact that everyone else who was in the play I just did got deathly ill towards the end. As far as what I was baking: It's called clafouti, which is traditionally a sort of cherry flan, but my version is more of an apple custard pie thing.

That is scary! How long did it touch the heating wire? How fast was that? :smalleek:

Well, I'm not sure how long it was, but it couldn't have been more than a few seconds. I smelled it before I saw anything, but I knew that burning smell wasn't coming from what I was baking.

But it is a good idea that the front desk keeps the kitchen stuff safe. :smallredface:

I actually set a steak on fire once. But it was a small fire, quickly extinguished, and I think it actually made the steak taste better.

Yeah. Quickly flaming something seems to be a thing in the culinary world. Often it makes the food all yum yum.

Why would one country resist using a superior spelling adapted by the rest of the world?
*insert statement here about U.S. being only country that resists using a superior system of measurement used by the rest of the world*

I don't think this is the case. Scotch stuff is whisky, Irish stuff is whiskey. It's just how it's always been.

Well, US isn't the only country. I think Burma and some other country too are being stubborn, but it's definitely less than five.

Sounds quite interesting, I think. :smallbiggrin: Glad you had fun Fynni (does trying to spell it that way even work? meh).

The Scots originally came from Ireland and invaded Scotland in the 8th century. Whiskey/whisky originally was uisge beatha, "water of life". The two tribes (Scots and Irish) just transcribed it differently.

I'm glad to hear you did not catch this strange illness, and out of politeness I do hope your theater group is alright. Deathly ill sounds highly unpleasant. Ooh nice! Sounds like quite an interesting bit of delicious work. :smallsmile: Sad to say I am not a huge eater of apple pastries, though I would likely find the cherry idea appealing. I've been trying to do more cooking at home, but I haven't branched out very much. Just a few things like adding vegetables to standard meals like pastas, mostly just Hamburger Helper though. And trying to shake up the recipes displayed on the boxes. But small steps I think. I feel like I am getting more comfortable with what I can make.

Zodalicious the story of your potatoes makes me sad. Garden potatoes should be shared, not wasted in a mouldering hoard. A gardener should know better!

Get some pet rats. They're very friendly and mice won't go where they smell rat. For an explanation, see Rat mouse-killing behavior. (http://www.ratbehavior.org/RatsMice.htm#Muricide)

Muricide. Now that is a word I will keep close to my heart.

Thanks. There is a pair of them who feed in the backyard. Somehow, none of the birds have realized that it is safer and better to go straight to the birdfeeder rather than eating seeds under it.

Well... you swing an extremely sharp blade in a scything method. Waaay funner than a lawnmower. The problem is getting the angle just right so as to cut the maximum of grass. Also edges of things. I want to use one in a big open field sometime. I may have to visit Teddy someday, we'll see.

A lot of these little birds are used to browsing for seeds from the ground, I think. It suits their instincts better. This makes me want to put a bird feeder in my garden, only I know those fat gray squirrels would become even more of a nuisance. RODENTS *skyfist*

It's difficult for me to imagine how this activity looks and feels. I'm sure it works brilliantly and I'll just have to try it. In my mind I picture the blade just pushing the grass over, and then sinking directly into my shin.

This, mostly. There's actually a lot of technique to it, because not only do you want to maximise the amount of grass cut, you also want to keep an as sharp angle to the grass as possible to cut it properly, especially if your scythe isn't as sharp as Cuth's.

And you'll be very welcome, Cutie-Lion! We can always use another hand to keep those fields properly tended to. The trees kind of want to reclaim them...

It is a terrible thing to wake up in the middle of the night hearing your budgie flapping around inside her covered cage in a panic. ;___;

And yet: can the wine not be placed in checked luggage? For a reasonable amount may be transported without penalty, so long as it be labelled. I mean what are we talking about here, a blank demijohn of hooch?

I think this is one of the best things ever. And when you think about it, in English you say spirits to refer to strong alcohol. IT'S IN OUR SOULS. THE ALCOHOL COMES FROM WITHIN.

Well, then you would be doing it wrong. Very wrong, in fact, since you arc the blade in front of you, and the handle makes it practically impossible for it to come any closer. It'd be easier to cut yourself when swinging a sword. http://i.imgur.com/ZRHtTJs.png

As for how it actually looks and feels, well, you neither move your arms nor legs when operating a scythe (not counting the steps you have to take between each swing). Instead, you hold the scythe handle diagonally and swing it by turning your torso. To make sure you cut the grass properly, you'll want the scythe blade to almost point in the same direction as you swing it, only differing enough to cut a decimetre or two forward through the grass. Then you just swing, step forward, swing, step forward, and so on.

By the way, thanks for putting this whole project together! I'm sure that TechnoScrabble very much appreciates it.
Bah - I am but a minor contributor; the project would be nothing without others.

I know I've complained about this class a lot before, but... this is just insane.

1) "Even if you believe in god, you must believe in the book [in heaven]..." If you don't believe in heaven, why would you believe in a book that's supposed to reside there?
2) What on earth does said book in heaven have to do with AI pathing?! I mean I get what the perfect tic-tac-toe game has to do with AI and I get what that has to do with game engines, but a BOOK that you have to believe in even if you don't?!

Please knock me out until my clothes are out of style :smallsigh:
What an odd class.

*kramhugses*

I'm 9 hours ahead of you, so it's pretty much bedtime for me, and my day isn't going as much as it has gone. http://i.imgur.com/ZRHtTJs.png That said, my day has gone well. Nothing exciting on my end, really. I learned from observation that woodpeckers mark their territory not by singing, but by pecking it rapid bursts at dry branches like they were drums when out walking, and met a man who told me that if you beat a stick against a dry branch in a similar fashion, the woodpecker will believe there's another male intruding on his territory and come to you. http://i.imgur.com/haudcUB.png

I also gave dad a little help while he pulled the optic fibre cable we're installing down below the house foundation and down under the house, but that was mainly his effort, and more fun to mention because I like doing work like this... http://i.imgur.com/jLvmsd9.png

Yay! I will have to try scything too, it seems interesting. And I bet I can do it with a slim chance of hurting myself! :smallbiggrin:

Definitely bed time as I am writing this, but ah well. The way time works around the world has always been such a curiosity to me. :smallsmile: Sounds like a fair day though. Learning more of the world around us. I know only that our dogs like to bark at the woodpeckers.

Hmm and what is this cable for dear Teddy? :smallsmile: I should know but somehow I don't. :smalltongue: I've been up to a bit of house and yard work with my grandma. She really has a lot she wants done with this place.

There has been a death in the family. More or less. My shoes, which I've owned for 6 years, have finally given up the ghost. I cannot in good conscious wear them, due to the bottom being torn out in such a way that walking is now a hazard. More then usual.

Incidentally, I hadn't realised quite how much I identified with that handle until I started seeing this thread pop up a lot. It's a bit of an odd feeling seeing it all the time - a bit like your in public and attracting a few stares.

There has been a death in the family. More or less. My shoes, which I've owned for 6 years, have finally given up the ghost.
Having lost a family member a few months back, I was all set to offer condolences. Then I read the rest of the post and felt rather silly.

Not if they were very good shoes, I'd have thought.

I don't mean to make a run on what's just happened, and I'm not going to frame it like some great family loss... but, it seems my scanner has died. Which is really unfortunate. It fell from my desk last week and have been struggling to get it working ever since. It was a great little scanner. Not new by any means, but it was reliable, of decent quality, and portable. I'm going to take it by the tech lab in the library soon and see if it can't be opened up and revived, but I'm not counting on that.

2014-04-17, 02:22 PM

Well, then you would be doing it wrong. Very wrong, in fact, since you arc the blade in front of you, and the handle makes it practically impossible for it to come any closer. It'd be easier to cut yourself when swinging a sword. http://i.imgur.com/ZRHtTJs.png

As for how it actually looks and feels, well, you neither move your arms nor legs when operating a scythe (not counting the steps you have to take between each swing). Instead, you hold the scythe handle diagonally and swing it by turning your torso. To make sure you cut the grass properly, you'll want the scythe blade to almost point in the same direction as you swing it, only differing enough to cut a decimetre or two forward through the grass. Then you just swing, step forward, swing, step forward, and so on.

Very interesting. Thank you. Is it decently efficient, then? I speculate these things: firstly, that there are not many other options when the grass is long; and secondly, that a razor-sharp slice is much healthier for the grass than the dull tearing of a lawnmower's blades.

Ooh invite me too, I want to be non-Swedish/Swedish gardner helper person! :smallbiggrin:

Extremely efficient on flat surfaces with decently tall grass. Quiet, doesn't use gas, not impossible to start up. In my experience, it only cuts easily down to about three inches or so.

Plus... it's a scythe. Even leaving aside the feeling that the grass is souls, it must be fun to wield something so old-fashioned.

Well, to start with, one shouldn't compare a scythe and a lawnmower. A scythe is for cutting hay, lawnmowers are for trimming lawns. You can do neither with the other. For a modern equivalent to a scythe, you'll want other types of mowers, such as a sickle mower.

Well, I'm here (there) right now, and I can say this: There's still snow on the fields, and the lake is frozen over. I won't know if the white strawberries made it or not for yet quite a while...

Extremely efficient on flat surfaces with decently tall grass. Quiet, doesn't use gas, not impossible to start up. In my experience, it only cuts easily down to about three inches or so.

That said, machine tools are still more efficient, especially since caring for a scythe to properly keep the edge takes some skill...

So, I'm hear. We had no less than two water leaks this winter, plus a breakdown on the hot water system, and even though (or perhaps thanks to) we've had craftsmen over to fix them, the house was quite a mess when we arrived. A dedicated cleaning effort got rid of all the dust and debris, so now we've only got the more deep-rooted damage to fix. Still, the house is at least inhabitable now... http://i.imgur.com/jLvmsd9.png

The pump to the hot water system has become damaged from running without water, though, so it makes a quite annoying, knocking sound. We'll have to get it replaced, eventually. Somuch in need of fixing...

Isn't this what the customs are for? I mean, it'll probably cost a bit extra, but it'll definitely be legal...
Customs are for after the wine gets there. I am worried about getting it on the plane at the start of the flight. :smallredface:

I know I've complained about this class a lot before, but... this is just insane.

1) "Even if you believe in god, you must believe in the book [in heaven]..." If you don't believe in heaven, why would you believe in a book that's supposed to reside there?
2) What on earth does said book in heaven have to do with AI pathing?! I mean I get what the perfect tic-tac-toe game has to do with AI and I get what that has to do with game engines, but a BOOK that you have to believe in even if you don't?!

Please knock me out until my clothes are out of style :smallsigh:
I have read this post many times. The last line is confusing. But it is good for giving us the feel of having to sit there and listen to that teacher I guess? :smallconfused:

Oh, it's just a small, casual event with lots of rampant virtual alcoholism and monkey suits.

Hm. Maybe we'll start in a few hours, if that's okay with you?
I looked for a picture of a monkey with a teacup or a mug for my monkey suit.

Very interesting. Thank you. Is it decently efficient, then? I speculate these things: firstly, that there are not many other options when the grass is long; and secondly, that a razor-sharp slice is much healthier for the grass than the dull tearing of a lawnmower's blades.

Since Sweden is colonizing the world surreptitiously via furniture and socks, it is our right to enjoin the centre from our periphery. Postcolonial studies have taught us this. Onwards to the capital, Helium Halloon!

My hand mower does more of a scissors snip. The sharp curved edge pushes the grass against the flat edge. A regular power mover is kind of like a scythe blade though. All one swinging blade and nothing to cut against. :smallcool:

Well, it wasn't a true cactus, but rather a plant which grows thick leaves shaped like reverse arrowheads on top of eachother, eventually thickening further into a true stem. It also has pink flowers. I don't know it's name, though...

Beefsquatch (black and grey chick) and the black duckling feed each other and make out. Clearly they are a couple.

D'awww duckies! :smallbiggrin: So much adorableness.

I'm honestly in full panic mode. I need a flat to live in. :smallfrown:

Oh no! Poor Finny. :smallfrown: I hope things work out, I'd hate for you to not be able to live where you want to. Would be rather bad. Considering I know so little of other places, what is scary about finding a flatmate in Glasgow?

Since Sweden is colonizing the world surreptitiously via furniture and socks, it is our right to enjoin the centre from our periphery. Postcolonial studies have taught us this. Onwards to the capital, Helium Halloon!

I am well this day: for this afternoon I shall take lunch with my gentleman friend, and this evening I shall drink rum and play cards with the blackguards of my family. The recent cold snap is turning back to spring, and I shall soon be out of town taking medicinal quantities of wine. All manner of things are well. I trust, in turn, that your yard work and renovations of late have been satisfying? Let me guess, you didn't ask what was planted in the garden this year. *runs into the bathroom crying and locks the door*

I have not a clue what is meant by postcolonial studies. ^_^; But I take your word for it that joining the Swedish is a good idea. Especially if usage of scythes is involved!

Oh no! Do not run and hide or be sad please. :smallfrown: I did ask but I had forgotten to mention. Well we have 3 rose bushes, in pink purple and yellow which I have utterly forgotten the names of the particular types, but we have had those for a few years now. In the front and side of the house my grandma planted purple irises and some perennial bulbs (that's all she said about them). Oh, and a small oak tree that will hopefully shade a certain part of the house. :smallsmile: She has a few areas where she wants to do more planting but hasn't decided on what she wants yet, other than cactus close to the driveway.

I hope that your time with your gentleman friend was more than pleasant, and the rum enjoyable, dear Knightly Kneeble.

It is so much easier to see what each little business in an old strip is when you are going at bike speed. And I found a pretty neighborhood with a lot of Japanese influence in the yards. There were symbols with circles on the front gates and red doors and koi ponds and twisted trees. :smallsmile:

Ahem. May I have your attention, please? I am pleased to introduce special guest of honour, TechnoScrabble! Now, before we present the card to TechnoScrabble, and begin our virtual party, I have a few words to say.

I met TechnoScrabble about five months ago, in a previous rendering of this very thread. At the time, he had been going through some very rough times - namely, a diagnosis of terminal illness that mushroomed from some very unfortunate prior events. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?320281-Teddy-s-Twofold-Tempestuous-and-Tranquil-Random-Banter-202&p=16675801&viewfull=1#post16675801) This sent down waves of shock down the entire Random Banter thread, and all the while, he was bravely expressing his emotions, which mostly consisted of fright. "I'm scared," he said, "I don't want to go like this." Indeed, who would? We consoled him, in poetic, poignant words. Empathy swelled. And it was just before the thread was smothered in love and sympathy that the Random Banter Card was devised - a card meant to grant a dying military man a final bit of happiness.

Nineteen hours ago, I was told that TechnoScrabble had cancer.

Nineteen hours ago, I was introduced to the Mythomania Controversy.

Nineteen hours ago, I was informed, by several sources, that TechnoScrabble was a liar.

Pure hearsay, of course. They had evidence, but it was apparently behind closed bars. They had, in effect, no proof. And neither, I suppose, did TechnoScrabble.

Just mere moments before I was about to present the card, I was caught in a deadly political web. For liability reasons, I shall grant no opinion.

TechnoScrabble, if you are indeed the most unfortunate person in the world, our hearts go out to you. If everything you said was indeed untrue, we congratulate you for weaving a most excellent story. In either case, we, the Random Banter community, humbly offer you this card (http://www.onetimebox.org/box/5vMqESKtxwZ2goACR#).

Thank you.

TechnoScrabble

2014-04-19, 09:45 PM

Making a quick post before I'm out for the night.

I had to Google mythomania, being as unclever as I am, and as insulting as it is, freaking out accusations is pointless. Though I have posted pictures in the nexus IRC.

The cancer hasn't been too big a deal for awhile now, and I don't remember talking about it too much but yeah receptiveness (or whatever it is called) to cancer is common in my family. It's a thing. Surprised it was brought up.

I want to thank you all for being there for me when I was scared, just like you all were back when I was younger and terrified of people. You are wonderful, cheerful, downright awesomesauce people, and I cannot express my appreciation enough. I will read the card when I get home to my computer tonight.

Oh, nice - adjusters for a perfect-fitting glove! What is it made out of?
Yes, having enough money is indeed excellent.

Cotton and buckles mainly. The straps appear to be made of webbing. They were cheap and I'm relatively confident I could replicate or improve them if I wanted 「though I don't yet」. I'm thinking if I do make a set, I'll use less buckles and add tubing.

Yes! It is! I don't have enough money to pursue one thing, but I do have enough to finally fix some other things though. One thing at a time when one has a low income, you know?

Except for me. Muahaha!

Enjoy your card.

Woo! Okay, the party can begin now!

Well, I've slept through most of it and likely will continue sleeping through the rest of it... :smallfrown:

Nemesis and Fear to Tread, both by James Swallow. Also, I have a bunch of Terry Pratchett novels burning a hole in my bookshelf.
Oh, nice!

Cotton and buckles mainly. The straps appear to be made of webbing. They were cheap and I'm relatively confident I could replicate or improve them if I wanted 「though I don't yet」. I'm thinking if I do, I'll use less buckles and add tubing.
Ah, I see.

Yes! It is! I don't have enough money to pursue one thing, but I do have enough to finally fix some other things though. One thing at a time when one has a low income, you know?
Indeed!

Wow. Well, I wouldn't be wearing one, but I do have a button-up shirt, suspenders and a blue tie. :smalltongue:
Good enough. We'll throw in the monkey part...!

Oh, no! What will become of our Ceremony without the Sacred Drinker of the Royal Blue?

There's significantly less drinking than expected.

Says you.

Back from the club, a bit bourbon-y. Read the card. It's frikkin beautiful. The picture, the words, everything. I'm honestly a bit weirded out knowing how much effort put into it, a thing meant for me, I don't know how to react. But I am supremely greatful, I know that much. It really means a lot to know you all care.

Ahh no, I'll pass on the monkey. Monkeys are jerks.

I'm Sacred now? Strange...

Aww. Well, I was going to handwrite the haiku but discovered my brother had taken my 「admittedly cheap」 calligraphy pen so it would've been in biro which is just a bit tacky.

You're a decent person 「at least, on the internet」 so I hope you don't feel too weirded out by the card. I don't feel that the time I put into my contributions was wasted anyway, so don't worry too much about it.

Mmm, bourbon. I haven't had bourbon in ages.

Good point. Let's replace them with lemurs.

I'm Sacred now? Strange...
You still are, in several parts of the world.

IM ALIVE. STILL.

Hi guys. I haven't been on here in aaages.

Just telling you guys that I'm not dead, or anything.

*Resumes skulking under the floorboards of the thread.*
