Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87

[Lilly]

The Rules. You! Read these!

In order to try and keep these threads from becoming unmanageable, some rules have been created, and they accent the forum rules. Please read those first.

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB one word posts should be spam everywhere. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* should also be considered spam. Quality of content trumps speed of response.
2. Ditch the "competition for control of the universe". It has ceased to be funny, and often branches out into little mock battles that fall into the spam definition laid out above. We've got a PbP section for fights, and even the Town has an arena, I believe.
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.
4. Stop advertising 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 stop with 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. Do not 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. No asking "What's the topic" or the ilk. This is *not* a conversation where you could've missed the begining, it's a forum where the current topic is nicely recorded for you. So 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


:miko:Anyone found breaking the rules will be sent to stand in the corner and receive a very stern talking to! :miko:

This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. There is an IRC chat thingy (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12321) set up for that sort of thing. Not only will you not annoy the people here, you will also help increase the popularity of the IRC chat. It's win/win/win!

And now for something completely different, A NEW THREAD!!!

[Ego Slayer]

Yay, Lilly get's a thread boogie!:smallbiggrin:

*BOOGIE!*
http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5950/boogie8yq.gif

[Cyrano]

Aaaah, alliteration. So sublime, so....special, in it's irritating way, wot wot.

Also, boogie, blah. We need more tapdancing.

[Rex Idiotarum]

* Pogos in to techno music * Bounce, Pogo Bounce, Jump, Up and down.
Jump down and up, up and down,
Bounce bounce bounce bounce
Jump Pogo bounce,

* Pogos out as music fades. *

[MandibleBones]

Though I am not normally a Banterite, the following thought entered my head - and this seemed the place to say it:

Ego, that's the coolest gender ever. I wish my gender was a Chord.

[ZombieRockStar]

No...tap-dancing has the opposite effect of the Boogie. While the Boogie blesses the thread and assures its prosperity, the tap-dance curses it and condemns it to rot at the bottom of Friendly Banter.

Tap dance enough, and you could bring the accursed bug back down on us, after it being absent for nearly 8 months! Do you want that? Do you?

@^: Not just any chord, but a minor 7th. Such a smooth, jazzy gender.

[Skippy]

Woohoo!! New thread!!! Now let's start bombing this place

*Takes out a brand new box filled with C4*

[Rawhide]

*tries to discourage people from filling the first page with posts celebrating the new thread*

You know, technically, we have forbidden posts that do nothing more than say something like "First Page!"

[Roland St. Jude]

C4? Aww, you sunk my battle ship! (Big meanie.)

Ah, a shiny new RB thread. (Yes, I said that just to tweak @^'s chain a bit.)

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Ego, that's the coolest gender ever. I wish my gender was a Chord.

Well, there are only a few like that, well *checks book* achording to this text anyway, but they may be singing a different tune tomorrow.

[ZombieRockStar]

C4? Aww, you sunk my battle ship! (Big meanie.)

C4? Bingo! Do I win a prize? Possibly a battleship? I could do with one of those.

(I'm aware there is no C4 in Bingo...)

[Ego Slayer]

Fine, I'll wait until page 2 next time.:smallamused:
C'mon, we've always done it! >.>

Mandible, thanks. =P I <3 that chord. 7ths are nice.

[Skippy]

C4? Aww, you sunk my battle ship! (Big meanie.)
(Yes, I said that just to tweak @^'s chain a bit.)

Hehehe... And I didn't even have to detonate it...

[Cyrano]

No...tap-dancing has the opposite effect of the Boogie. While the Boogie blesses the thread and assures its prosperity, the tap-dance curses it and condemns it to rot at the bottom of Friendly Banter.

Tap dance enough, and you could bring the accursed bug back down on us, after it being absent for nearly 8 months! Do you want that? Do you?

@^: Not just any chord, but a minor 7th. Such a smooth, jazzy gender.

Uh, hello, left AMEN because they weren't evil enough? Of COURSE I want that.
Also, tapdancing gives me an excuse to wear a top hat and pinstripes. Now an excuse for monocles and pocketwatches...
and swordcanes...

[Roland St. Jude]

Yes, you can have my battleship. It's sunk. You'll have to retreive it from the deep. PM me for coordinates. Please enclose $3.99 for shipping and handling.

Also, speaking of chords, is anyone here familiar with the Flight of the Conchords? They are amazingly funny.

[Lilly]

Hehehe... And I didn't even have to detonate it...

:smalleek: That's a lot of C4 then... poor whales don't want to end up in chunks just yet.

[Ego Slayer]

FotC are awesome! *runs off to teh youtubz*

I love this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGoi1MSGu64)

[Cyrano]

They are comedy, New Zealand, and a duo. Three out of five of my main weaknesses. Never. Never, ever, ever. Blast you, Ego!

[ZombieRockStar]

Yes, you can have my battleship. It's sunk. You'll have to retreive it from the deep. PM me for coordinates. Please enclose $3.99 for shipping and handling.

Coordinates? Duh, it's at C4, obviously. I'll keep my $3.99 (~$4.20 CAN), thank you.

[Cyrano]

Why are we buying the broken husks of destroyed battleships? And can I have one?

[Roland St. Jude]

I only had the one battleship, but I have a half-destroyed aircraft carrier you can get for a song (Lilac Wine, specifically).

FotC has a show on HBO that's quite good. It's a like a quirky musical sitcom made out of videos of their songs. It's all on YouTube. I'm too lazy to link them. There's about 7 eps worth so far.

[Skippy]

Why are we buying the broken husks of destroyed battleships? And can I have one?

If you can dive and get your pieces (at the right coordinates, of course), I guess you can have them...

Live Action Simpsons Intro (http://www.bestofgooglevideo.com/video.php?video=95)

[ZombieRockStar]

Heh. That's been around for a while, hasn't it?

Question: has anyone else noticed on the actual Simpson's intro that there's no blue on the school flag (as you zoom in, when Bart comes out there is) to the point that I think it's a Canadian flag and not American, and it's only American coming out?

Here. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cZY7mSoZbCw) Pause it at 10s in.

[Vonriel]

Rawhide, in response to your last post in the last thread, my mind wiped all my memory of the events of April 1st, so as to keep myself from having to picture you as Kaylee. :smallwink:

ZRS, isn't this going a bit far with your love of Canada? I mean, I can understand national pride and all, but, sheesh. :smalltongue:

[Dispozition]

FotC are awesome! *runs off to teh youtubz*

That is epic...Truly epic...

[ZombieRockStar]

ZRS, isn't this going a bit far with your love of Canada? I mean, I can understand national pride and all, but, sheesh. :smalltongue:

Heh. But consider that this comes after 17 years of watching that intro again and again and again and I've only noticed it recently. So I think I'm excused in this. :smallamused:

[Rawhide]

Rawhide, in response to your last post in the last thread, my mind wiped all my memory of the events of April 1st, so as to keep myself from having to picture you as Kaylee. :smallwink:

Me as Kaylee? I was a Purple Monkey Dishwasher!

[Vonriel]

17 years? So, you've been watching The Simpsons since you were.. what, 4? :smallamused: I'm surprised.

Edit: Hmm, I could've sworn you stole Lilly's avatar at first, then switched. Bah. I told you my mind wiped my memory of April 1.

[ZombieRockStar]

Possibly an exaggeration, but I think I've been watching since the 2nd or 3rd season, so more like 15 or 16 years. Whatever.

[Lilly]

Me as Kaylee? I was a Purple Monkey Dishwasher!

But you would be terribly cute in a floofy pink dress. :smallwink:

@Von: I stole Rawhide's avatar for the day and was "Mighty Pirate in the playground" (or something similar), and Roland borrowed Kaylee.

[Rawhide]

I just stumbled on this video. I posted it a long time ago in my blog (not really a blog, just a collection of links on a blog site) but the link died.

And...just to mess with Rawhide....


YAY!!! Second PAGE!!!!


On another note...just back from my third university graduation. Second one I went to, first one I got to walk across the stage at :smallbiggrin:

[Vonriel]

Hahaha.. that's awesome, Rawhide.

Sweet! Second page of new RB! Don't mind me, just helping ER mess with Rawhide.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Then let this be a decree, just to piss off Rawhide, with every post, we will give a celebration dedicated to the page it's on.

Woot! Second Page! Yeah! * Hammerslides out of Thread *

If it's a hammerslide for the second page, and a boogie for the first, do we do a moonwalk for the third, tango for the fourth, waltz for the fifth, etc.?

*busts out the leisure suit*

OOO...what page is the Time Warp? Are we doing a dance a page now? That could be fun!

*goes to find a costume*

You know, I don't think I've ever seen anything with David Attenborough in Australia... anyway, yet more proof that Australia roxors the world's soxors :smallbiggrin:

[Rawhide]

So, Emerald, what graduations are you talking about? I take it the latest one was your own?

[EmeraldRose]

Yep. Third one, one more and I think I'll be done for awhile, but I'm just going to work for awhile...no school. It's just easier that way! :smallwink:

[Rawhide]

Congratulations. So, what is your long list of degrees?

[EmeraldRose]

BS Psychology
MT Special Education
BS Social Work

:smallbiggrin:

I've been busy! I plan to actually use the last one though. I start my new job in social work on Monday. I can't wait really!! *grins*

[Rawhide]

What does the MT stand for? And you did finally get a job? Yay! Congrats!


Serp: I'm sure I've seen a few with David Attenborough in Australia. Documentaries about Australia don't do as well in Australia as the rest of the world.

[Rex Idiotarum]

* Hammerslides in *
Woot! College life! Going in the fall.
*Puts on Pageboy hat, backwards of course, and sips Starbuck's Coffee*

[EmeraldRose]

*dodges Rex*

Masters in Teaching.

I did get a job finally!! I can't wait to start!!! :smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

[Amotis]

Congrats ER. Is this gonna be a career or perhaps you're gonna try out all your majors with a job that matches? :smallbiggrin:

Also, yay mods! Stick around! Plz. Liek, srsrly.

This is how I look like when I bowl:

[Extra_Crispy]

Congrats EmeraldRose. Nice having 3 degrees to choose a carreer from or combining them to work your perfact job. After all that school though I would have taken a vacation. Actually that is exactly what I did. I just graduated with a BSN, and took a week off. And though I know where I am working (have to work for a hospital as they payed me back to go to school). I dont know in which department yet. Wanted the burn unit (go figure) but they dont have any openings. Probably work ICU.

I thought it was pretty funny at my graduation also. Here I am 1 of 2 guys in a class of 47 graduating nurses. I am 6'4" and 250+lbs, the other guy was short/average height and skinny. I am also shaved bald with a large goatee, look more like a hells angle biker then a nurse. The look of the 5'4" dean as she shook my hand and looked up at me was priceless. My father was laughing so hard after the graduation, he said that the photographer was even having trouble. He was turning his camera all different ways trying to fit the dean and I in the same picture.

The last time I was on the first page was when I started the dern thing.

And Bowling is awsome! Especially when you have no time limit, and are really horrible, and so you end up just dancing before every bowl.

*Starts grooving to the inevitable music.*

[Penguinizer]

I like bowling aswell. My personal record is 120. That is pretty good since sometimes I just can't get any strikes.

[Archonic Energy]

ooooo. Lilly gets a thread. yay.

on a completely unrelated note stripping wallpaper is SO boring...
i wish i had a flamethrower.

[Saithis Bladewing]

I like bowling, pretty good at it when I'm in practice. My highest score was around 150 or so, if memory serves. That was when I was on top of my game though, doubt I could even get close to 100 right now. Been a long time since I bowled.

[Archonic Energy]

does WiiSports bowling count? 170 ish

otherwise i'm lucky to break single figures.

[Saithis Bladewing]

If Wii Sports counts, I'm the champion. Almost never score below 200 on that. Of course, I do cheat the system, but eh, I can get almost as high without it. ;D

I juzt realized, there'z only two weekz left of zummer break.

[Nomrom]

There's only three weeks before I leave for the Dominican Republic for two years.

[Castaras]

4 weeks summer holiday for us, I think...*cheers*

Oh wait...I've spent two weeks in front of the computer, moving only to do essential things, like eating and sleeping.

Oh well.

Edit: Oh, and because I didn't get to the first two pages - Third page! Wootzors! :smallwink:

[InaVegt]

The total zummer break iz, like, zeven weekz, Caztaraz.

[Penguinizer]

Meh, 10 or so days left for me...

I still got so much stuff I need to do T.T

[Castaras]

For us it's 6 and a half, I think...

Which means technically, we have 4 and a half weeks left, but meh.

And why are you all zedish/zeeish, Gez?

I'm talking like thiz becauze the you know which key broke, thiz letter iz the clozezt if you talk about how it iz pronounced.

We got longer breaks because us American kids are just naturally smarter, and thus require less schooling.

Thank you very much, it's nice to have people who are more tech savvy than I am.

Ignore away, it wasn't a serious comment. I know too many people for that to be a serious comment. I don't really like the onscreen keyboard, it takes me too long to type with it.

@^: How could you possibly believe something like that?

[InaVegt]

Because according to a test I read sometime ago, the quality of European schools was a lot better than that of American, and the Dutch schools were among the better European schools.

[Nomrom]

I honestly don't know how well the American schools do. But my schooling got me into a good university where I'll be able to get a good degree and hopefully a good job with that degree, so who really cares?

[Nomrom]

First off, in the National Geographic list, except for the one about speaking a foreign language fluently, I can do all of those things. And actually, I'm about to go live in the Dominican Republic for two years, during which time I will hopefully become fluent in Spanish. Next, I would say most of if not all of my friends are the same as me. So yes, while a large majority of American youth might be stupid, those who will be leaders in business and politics are better informed about such matters. And honestly, does it really matter if a janitor knows whether or not Sudan is in Africa or Asia? The true failing in the system isn't in the teaching, but in the fact that most students don't car and don't try. Last, you can now imagine me typing the same America is better things I usually would, since I'm going to spare you guys and leave them out.

[ZombieRockStar]

Yeah, but the goal of education is hardly just to teach you what's applicable to your job, so yeah, it does matter if a Janitor knows where Sudan is.

The question is, where does this apathy come from that seems to be unique among Americans? And you can't just heap all of the blame on just one factor.

I'm curious, though. Why do these tests that focus on world understanding always use geography as their standard? Wouldn't knowledge of world history be a better indication of how well you understand the world outside your own country?

[InaVegt]

I can do all of the things on that list, and I'm not even American and haven't finished the dutch equivalent of high school yet.

Now, I am considered a genius by plenty of people, (including people who decide whether you're a genius or not) and as such am not the standard Dutch person.

[Castaras]

I'm curious, though. Why do these tests that focus on world understanding always use geography as their standard? Wouldn't knowledge of world history be a better indication of how well you understand the world outside your own country?

Geography is a good all round subject. If you're doing well in Geography, most probably you're doing well in other subjects as well.

I think that's what it is anyway...

Hmm...good point, but I don't think that's the whole of it. You can know where a country is without knowing anything about it.

Well, my spoken French is very shaky, but I can read and write it well enough that I think I count, so I can easily do everything on that list (despite the fact that French isn't a foreign language).

Also, if you're focusing on world understanding, how does finding NY on a map count if you're American?

[InaVegt]

Geography is a good all round subject. If you're doing well in Geography, most probably you're doing well in other subjects as well.

I think that's what it is anyway...

Well, my mother was getting great grades all around, except for geography. She had no grade beneath a 7 (1-10 scale, higher is better) on her Gymnasium (the most difficult secondary education you can get here) certificate, and that's only because she had dropped geography as soon as she could (It almost caused her to fail all of the years in which she had it)

Geography was one of my worst subjects as well (just after French), and I dropped it as soon as I could as well.

[Castaras]

Was just a suggestion. What I'd heard, at least.

And with all the geography I've done, it isn't just the finding of places on a map.
Actually, most of the geography we do is so boring. Tourism, and its effects. Population and stuff. Boring stuff.

It's when you get to Geology that it gets good...

And with languages, I can speak pretty good french, find it harder to write(Hate. Accents. So. Much), but can read it easily. I can pick up some languages reasonably easily, and can say random sentences in many languages...

:smalltongue: My dad used to be a cartographer (well, GIS, so computer cartography) and so I was basically raised on maps. Probably what attracted me to fantasy.....

I have to start some school stuff TOMORROW. :smallmad: Sometimes being homeschooled ain't so hot, at least not when your mother says you have to start studying for the SATs now. I'm sure I'll be grateful for the extra preparation, but it still sucks.

[Vonriel]

Hmm, summer break? What is this.. summer break.. you speak of? I had two weeks where I didn't go to school on monday/tuesday, which, incidentally, are the only two days of school I've had for the past six months. :smallamused:

[Penguinizer]

I got like a week of vacation left T.T

Anyways. I aced Geography...

I nearly failed Swedish...

Curse you Sweden! (not that I have anything against you guys.)

[SDF]

Ah summer break, it's that thing that lasts for two weeks after my classes end next week.

I can't claim to be fluent in any foreign language (computer languages don't count :smalltongue: ) But I hope to have Arabic completely down by the time I'm done with my undergrad, and to have at least started French, which I want done by the time I finish gradschool. I remember my 7th grade geography book. Now, I was in the 7th grade in '98 but our geography book was written in '89. I will never forget the way they talked about the Berlin wall and how it may not come down in our lifetime. An Ironic statement making the book dated months after it was written. I often wondered why we had new math, science, and English textbooks, but not geography, the one subject that changes the most. Numbers are never going to change, I could use a math text written in the 60s, and unless it was some new zany theoretical stuff it wouldn't matter. I always went to private schools so I'm not sure how well I relate to the US public school system.

[Nomrom]

Yeah, but the goal of education is hardly just to teach you what's applicable to your job, so yeah, it does matter if a Janitor knows where Sudan is.

Well, I agree with you that in high school, your education should cover information from every subject. However, in college I am opposed to the idea of having a curriculum composed of classes from all disciplines. I am studying as a chemical engineer. American history is not very important in my chosen work force. If it interests me, I'll study it on my own. If it doesn't, why should I be forced to take that and spend time studying it, when that time could be better utilized on subjects I will need to no to succeed in engineering. And while it may be true that a janitor should be able to find Sudan on a map, it won't affect his work at all. Also, the article is saying that we are unprepared for a global economy. What I was saying is that the people who need to worry about this, will probably be able to. A janitor doesn't need to worry about our global economy. A company head does, and is probably in the percentage of people who can.


The question is, where does this apathy come from that seems to be unique among Americans? And you can't just heap all of the blame on just one factor.

I have no idea where this apathy comes from. I find it kind of annoying and pathetic though. What annoys me the most about it, is that the most apathetic people tend to be the ones who complain the most. I know the whole problem isn't the laziness of students, but it is a major contributor. I probably know people from high school who couldn't answer these questions. However, we were at a good high school in one of the best school districts in the country. They most likely had teachers who taught them this stuff, but they either didn;t learn it or have forgotten it. Apathy is definitely a factor.


I'm curious, though. Why do these tests that focus on world understanding always use geography as their standard? Wouldn't knowledge of world history be a better indication of how well you understand the world outside your own country?

I have no idea about this one. I do have another question about the survey though. Where did they get the students from? Is it completely random from the whole country, or from certain areas. Because the country can't take the blame for the school system. Individual states do much better than other states do. As I said, I am in a very good school district. The one next to us, is the Houston school district. They are constantly in the news for messing something up or failing evaluations. Where you go makes a big difference.

[Cyrano]

Bah! The workforce. We shoudl just be paid by government subsidies to sit around and eat. After all, without us, the economy would collapse! They need us, they need to bribe us.

[Khaldan]

If only we were that lucky... *sigh*

Oh, from way back when when ZRS said that the simpsons flag is canadian, try pausing at 20 seconds. there is blue. :smallsmile:

[Siwenna]

I really don't understand how you can fail to find NY on a map. Most of my "social studies" in 2nd and 3rd grade was memorizing the location, capital, etc. of the states. I can see mixing up the location of New Hampshire and Vermont, but New York is pretty recognizable.

[Dr. Bath]

Interesting (or not so interesting) fact: Last time I was in America and told someone I was from London their reply was "London? That's on the east coast, right?" sadly, this was after I had already told them I was from the UK.

[Nomrom]

You know, I'm fairly certain that you can find the same thing in every other country in the world. It's not just America.

[Penguinizer]

Meh, In Finland, we study, lets see, Africa, America, South America, Asia, and other various geographical locations in geography. Although I do forget it pretty soon after the test. Anyways. I need to get some more studying done on Swedish. Might be some Apathy going on though, since I get depressed quite easily about failing.

[Dragonrider]

You know, my brother and I used to memorize the state capitals and then quiz each other on them FOR FUN. It was always the same with history. For his 4th birthday, what he wanted more than anything was to go to the Gettysburg battlesite...and we were fortunate enough to live in PA at the time so we got to go.

That's history for me. Being there and seeing the place it happened. I couldn't tell you what day the battle was fought, but I know any number of facts, obscure and otherwise, about what happened....

So I love history. And geography. The two combined are part of why I like traveling so much - I've been to 36 states and 12 countries, driven from coast to coast twice. There's just something about that kind of experience that makes these places stick in your head.

But a lot of people here where I live have never left the state. It's really hard to connect with them sometimes....

[Penguinizer]

History is nice. I always prefferred math, mainly since I don't meed to pay too much attention :P

But that is just becoming boring since it feels like I know most things already, outside of some formulas. Chemistry is always fun. I got a Chemistry work course along with Chemistry next year :D

I also took Digital Picture management or something like that since we had to pick 2 long and 2 short subjects...

I just want to show off my 1337 avy skills :P

The ironic thing is, I hope my school gets optical mice. The mouse balls always get stolen XD

And D'anna: I've had to say this for so long. Your avatar is weird on so many levels...

[Cyrano]

Geography...meh. I've always been interested when I'm on site, but in a classroom, getting what amounts to rote memorization about other places I don't know anything about (Barring GNP and various statistics), I really find I couldn't care less. Math is fine, but I get bad marks because I'm good enough in it that I don't listen, don't study, but do manage to screw up and make stupid mistakes because it's too easy. Probably the most interesting course would be Science, because I'm bad enough it's a challenge but good enough that I don't succumb to numbing despair. Unfortunately, this year's science teacher sat us down, gave us busy work and did his email every single frickin' day out of the 180-odd we had. As far as I know, he doesn't have any actual friends, so I don't know who he's emailing...
Penguin: Good. Gooooooooooooooood. *Evil tenting of fingers*.

[Nomrom]

My favorite subjects have always been math, chemistry, and physics. Hence my decision to pursue chemical engineering. I'm actually a pretty good writer, but writing is one of my least favorite things to do. The fact I tested out of English and don't have to write papers in college fills me with intense joy. History and geography bore me. I don't enjoy other sciences as much, but they can be interesting.

[Dr. Bath]

You know, I'm fairly certain that you can find the same thing in every other country in the world. It's not just America.

Sorry I didn't clarify, the person thought it was on the east coast of America, after I had I just said I was from England. I found it strange though as I had never come across such geographical inaccuracy in America before that.

Enjoy Antarctica. See penguins and go for a swim in the Antactic Ocean. Then take a soak in hot water; on account of how there's a volcano somewhere nearby. Well, you can do it on a cruise. Plus you get a spiffy certifaicate saying; "I swam in the Antarctic Ocean".

I've always loved History and Geography and English. I also enjoy French.

And on the subject of American geograhy:
My Geo teacher went to a Texan High School. Before she gave a talk on the UK and Geo in general she said, "What do you know about the UK?" meaning anything at all.
Ten minutes later all she had was "The Beatles were like English weren't they?" and "You, like have a Queen don't you?"

And he may have, in fact, been thinking of New London (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_London%2C_Connecticut) or maybe London, Ontario (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London%2C_Ontario), which is not near any coast, though near enough to a few shores.

Beh. I have a theory that all major stereotypical cities in the world (being New York, Paris, London and Tokyo...with perhaps the Sydney Opera House thrown in for good measure) are all the same city. Viewing certain movies (i.e. those with made-up cities or just "The Big City") has confirmed this. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get plane tickets to "The Big City." Despite having all those skyscrapers and tourist attractions, it must not have an international airport. :smallconfused:

Penguiniser, that link was just amazing. A drunk Jackie Chan; those really weird faces he pulls and martial arts! I'm happy. Ver happy.

And ZRS, I'm pretty sure there's a mickey take like that somewhere. *asks Penguiniser to look for it* and Tokyo Tower shows up in nearly all anime too.
Weird, stupid archetypical cities of the world. And you forgot LA, San Francisco and Rome. Maybe not so much Rome.

[ZombieRockStar]

Oh, forgot Venice too. Though that may just come from Babe: Pig in the City. LA only shows up because there's always a sign on a hill reminding the people of the city what city they live in...just in case they forgot.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Yeah! There's a 'city' on the back of Babe:Pig In The City that has a landmark from virtually any city you'd care to name. It looks very strange. Canals; Big Ben's Tower; Empire State Building and some others.

You know, when you said "England", the person to whom you were speaking might have thought "New England"...or something. Or maybe there's no excuse and it was just plain dumb. :smalltongue:

So you can mistake the LA or NYC or Rome or London or Paris skylines one for another? Naaaaaah! Not on your nelly mate, the local architecture's always distinct and different. Ditto the taste in skyscrapers. Ditto the road layout and the interaction built environment with parklands, planted trees, gardens, etc.

You could mistake Paris and Vienna maybe. Budapest, Cracow and Prague maybe. Ditto Luebeck, Bruges and Copenhagen. Ditto most cities in Germany. Most of the interchangeable skyscraper burgs in the Americas and Asia you can definitely chop and change at will. Eastern Bloc architecture has the same universally meretricious taint wherever it's thrown up.

Yep. Don't you know that you can draw an almost direct historical correlation between amount of laudanum, opiates and such consumed in the UK and the size of the British Empire? We set our greatest poets and thinkers to imagine an empire of the senses wherein the British could explore aspects of themselves they could not in the real world (ie: Britain). The result: the formless fog of protomatter that surrounds our isles was temporarily coalesced into the world beyond our borders.

He must be our new and improved twitchy Renfield thread mascot.I dont think that will be best :smallwink: The little voice that tells me to kill is getting louder, not kidding

[Cyrano]

I dont think that will be best :smallwink: The little voice that tells me to kill is getting louder, not kidding

Yours is little?
Wimp.

Also, I had a peek at my own profile. I disgust me. 13.55 posts a day? What the hell do I DO for a living? That's with, like, a month of collected weeklong absences. I sicken me.

[Mr. Moon]

I have no idea. I've tried to eat you, but my zombie friend refuse to bite me and I don't know where you live! Chock full of iron and sexy, though.

... Sure, Dee. I beleive you.

Well, I beleive that you tried to have zombie freind bite you, but hey. Zombies are cute.


I dont think that will be best The little voice that tells me to kill is getting louder, not kidding

Yours tells you to kill? Lucky. Mine tells me to do stupid things, like break an airplane window to see if it's double paned - while in flight. Or jump in front of a car to gauge how fast it's going.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

So...that big empire you were so proud of was just a delusion of your own minds? And nobody bothered to put your whole country in one of those inside-out insane asylums?

...Haven't you watched Johny English?

And by the by, us Aussies like to humour those old Brits, they still send us lovely Christmas hampers.

[Cyrano]

... Sure, Dee. I beleive you.

Well, I beleive that you tried to have zombie freind bite you, but hey. Zombies are cute.

Not as cute as me!
Or at least, certainly not as cute as I WILL be, once I force Tim to bite me. That jerk won't even do it for money!

Death: Not bad cafeteria lunches? Or, yaknow, barbed wire?

[Sean92k]

Yours is little?
Wimp.
Not funny:smallannoyed:

But surely the UK is just a fairy tale to convince young Americans that things could be worse. After all, I have never been there, thus it must not exist.:smallbiggrin:

[Vonriel]

No, no, you're thinking of Wyoming. The UK is the other place.

[bosssmiley]

But surely the UK is just a fairy tale to convince young Americans that things could be worse. After all, I have never been there, thus it must not exist.:smallbiggrin:

Whereas I *have* been to the nebulous ghost realm of bloodhungry shadow demon that is America. It was a scorching, humid wasteland of swamps, alligators, excessive hairspray and giant anthropomorphic farm animals. The garbled honking noises the poor shadowy inhabitants made in pathetic imitation of real human speech would be risible were they not so pitiful. :smalltongue:

(Florida: obviously the result of a very bad trip by some poor opium fiend shivering and moaning in the lowest Limehouse dive)

Well, winters to bloody cold you know? We can't get to the post office in 15 degree Celsius heat, we need to wait until it's at least 30.
Also, it takes you all winter to send it anyway...

Death is Australian?... In someways I always knew

It may have been my accent. That or how I keep reminding anyone who will listen of the Ashes scores. (5 games to Australia, Nill to England!)

[Cyrano]

Bah. Australia, England, America, who cares? This is the INTERNET. We're all solipsists here.

[Dragonrider]

Yeah, everyone's probably lying about their location anyway. :smalltongue:

[Sean92k]

We're all solipsists here.They have a cream for that:smallwink:

[North]

Hey I put my actual location :smalltongue:

[Cyrano]

They have a cream for that:smallwink:

I don't know whether that statement was a sneaky little masterpiece or the literary equivalent of rotten meat. I'm going to assume masterpiece, so, bravo, man. That is a good catch-all cure for any kind of philosophy. Cream.

[Dragonrider]

Hey I put my actual location :smalltongue:

Ah, but do we know that? How will you prove it? :smallbiggrin:

On another note...I was playing D&D with my brother the other night and rolled three natural 20s in a row. It was pretty sweet.

[Rawhide]

On another note...I was playing D&D with my brother the other night and rolled three natural 20s in a row. It was pretty sweet.

We had a houserule, if you got a natural 20 on an attack roll and confirmed the critical threat with another natural 20, you got to roll again, if that was a natural 20, well... :smallwink:

[Dragonrider]

:smallbiggrin: Yep, that's how it works with us as well. On the 3rd it's an instant kill.

Would have been MUCH more satisfying if it had been on a main villain and not some lousy low-level minion I was going to kill anyway. But it got our morale pretty high.

[SDF]

I tripple critted a PC while DMing once. They were fighting some cannon fodder and he annihilated a Succubus character. I had to run a mini session in hell before we could continue. Yay Blood War! ^_^

[North]

Ummm GPS? You buy me a gps device and mail it here then I can prove it :smallbiggrin:

*Heh* Ain't it great when a gamer and their dice see eye-to-eye and synergize one another's inherent cool? I presume these good and loyal servants of yours are resting on silk or velvet cushions right now?


Hey I put my actual location :smalltongue:

As did Eggy. I have no reason to lie about my location. My existence however, that's another matter. :smallwink:

[Dragonrider]

The sad thing is, I was borrowing my brother's dice. Because he LOST my personal favorite set.... :smallannoyed:

:smallbiggrin: It's the same set that kept rolling threes for him. I am avenged.

[EmeraldRose]

Sounds like those dice have chosen new owners...:smallwink: Of course, this will be proven if they continue to no longer work for your brother!

[Logic]

Seriously mate, unless you're drilling the ice cores (for whatever weird and fetishistic reason people do such things), why are you going to Antarctica? Haven't you read what happened to people like Scott and the Pabodie Expedition? :smalleek:

I'll be going as part of my work. Someone has to deliver supplies to those crazy fools that want to live/research there, and someone needs to make sure the plane can leave in top shape, so they take a few mechanics.


On current topic...

I have dice that are oversized, to be about 300% normal size. I originally bought them so I wouldn't have to worry about my neice choking on them, then she proved she could get the little guys in her mouth anyway, so I keep them now because I can readily identify MY dice after a game.

Our group tends to toss dice at each other, becasue we can't find that D20 we were using, or a D4, or any number of others.

[Dragonrider]

Yeah, we have some of those as well. They bug me, I just can't get them to roll right....

[Logic]

Yeah, we have some of those as well. They bug me, I just can't get them to roll right....

When trying to roll large numbers of them, I agree. I only have 4 of each kind, so that is never a problem for me.

[Sean92k]

roll large numbersPun much ?

[Nomrom]

I have the worst luck with dice. No matter what dice we use, I will never roll high. In the last campaign we played, I rolled a natural twenty on an attack once. That was against a golem, so I never got to critical with that character. I once went a session where the highest I rolled was an eleven, and the average was around a six.

[Logic]

Pun much ?

Unintentional, I assure you. I tend to type as I try to speak. Though I sometimes will start a sentence, decide halfway through it does not convey what I actually mean, pause, say a few more sylables of the first sentence, then begin speaking in a new sentence, which has all the same information the first one did, just to me, better organized.

I also speak in run on sentences more often than I would like.

[Rockphed]

The worst is in Risk when everybody is either rolling super high or super low. I once had a game where 3 6's was thrown three time in a row. It was countered by 2 6's, 1 6 and a five, and 2 more 6's.

[Siwenna]

I have thoroughly mediocre luck with dice. We played for months and I never rolled a twenty. Then, during the last session, when I wanted to roll low, I got two twenties. In the first case it meant that the insane cleric got lost in cave. The second caused him to fall off a cliff.

[Nomrom]

The worst is in Risk when everybody is either rolling super high or super low. I once had a game where 3 6's was thrown three time in a row. It was countered by 2 6's, 1 6 and a five, and 2 more 6's.

My luck with dice continues into risk too. I rarely play because it got so aggravating. I would often fight and lose three or four troops for every one I killed. It is really annoying playing people who obviously don't know what they're doing and losing anyways because you can't beat them in a fight, even with superior numbers.

[Alarra]

I rolled abysmally today. We were playing the oots game, and I would generally work it so that I had to roll, say...a 2 or 3 or better (on a d12) in order to beat the monster. The number of 1 and 2s I rolled was just....uncanny. Like seriously 8 of them.

At one point, I knew I was rolling like this, so used a thing to let me roll twice, take the highest....I needed a 3. I rolled 2 2s.

I haven't seen any evidence of these supposed free smoothies, so I wouldn't quit my day job yet.

Wait? So unlucky people get free smoothies?

I need to seriously consider a career change.

Sure they do! However, by definition, you're unlucky, so chances are they are either given to an imposter or have a light flavour of almonds, if ya get mah drift, wink wink.

And besides, have you EVER gone to the heavenly busoms of the Dice Gods? No? How do you know there AREN'T free smoothies then? Gotcha there, Mr. Skepticpants!

[Skippy]

So quote it. I don't even care if you change the name to satisfy your need for having a quote that involves you in it.

As for the gaming, that's honestly a shame. I'd advise you to get a fix here, but, well, I applied 4 times and none of them have started.

Well then, who needs smoothies? :smallcool:

[Saithis Bladewing]

Me. You betrayed me, bastard, hoarding all the luck to yourself.

[Vonriel]

Whew, good. For a moment, I thought Saithis had gone soft, and all touchy-feely and stuff.

[Alarra]

Well, I'm a huge fan of smoothies.

*scolds self* You do not need a slurpee. You do not need a slurpee. It is raining outside. You do not want to walk to 7-11. k....*feels a bit better* *goes off to look for cookies instead, knowing she has none*

[Lucky]

Whew, good. For a moment, I thought Saithis had gone soft, and all touchy-feely and stuff.
The goods news is she didn't blow up the world this time. I got so tired of rebuilding just so I can take it over.

I'm still working on the "take it over" part.

One day...

[Nomrom]

Cookies are better than smoothies anyways. Why eat fruit when you can have the chocolaty goodness of a cookie?

[Saithis Bladewing]

Aww, poor little leprechaun. *Hugs to make it all better.* :smallsmile:

But Alarra, 7-11's slurpees are the epitome of delicious cold drink! I am left adrift in a 7-11-less world down here in Georgia, and feel cheated.. :smallfrown:

I don't think Saithis will be happy you exploded the planet for him. He might take it out again as soon as you finish rebuilding.

EDIT: Or he might run away crying. Who know anymore?

[Saithis Bladewing]

I don't think Saithis will be happy you exploded the planet for him. He might take it out again as soon as you finish rebuilding.

Oh, why I ought to slap you for the use of gender pronouns like that. I mean, for Odin's sake, I even have my gender icon up and running today, it's not like it's hard to read or anything.

[Lucky]

I don't think Saithis will be happy you exploded the planet for him. He might take it out again as soon as you finish rebuilding.

EDIT: Or he might run away crying. Who know anymore?Guy... Her gender icon is quite clearly on display. Talk about failing a spot check.

[Nomrom]

Oh crap. When I started writing, I even thought to myself. Saithis is a girl, use she/her. And I used masculine pronouns anyways. Sorry Saithis.

[Alarra]

But Alarra, 7-11's slurpees are the epitome of delicious cold drink! I am left adrift in a 7-11-less world down here in Georgia, and feel cheated.. :smallfrown:

Look, I'm trying to keep the explosions on the backburner, but you're not making it any easier. You're just tempting me to send the whole damn planet up in flames.

Something like that.

Hmm, you know, it just struck me..

Where you been, Lucky?You know how hard it is to write up plans for world domination AND defend a pot of a gold? I just took a couple weeks off the forums so I could get everything under control.

[Saithis Bladewing]

... Yes ma'am...

You know how hard it is to write up plans for world domination AND defend a pot of a gold? I just took a couple weeks off the forums so I could get everything under control.

The better question, Lucky, is why haven't you been on AIM? Hmm? HMM? I haven't seen you in ages!

[Lucky]

Uh... I don't know...

[Saithis Bladewing]

Uh... I don't know...

Well, that's hardly an answer! I thought we were friends! *Sniffs.*

Clearly I must commit seppuku for this action of yours.

[Lucky]

Well, that's hardly an answer! I thought we were friends! *Sniffs.*

Clearly I must commit seppuku for this action of yours.Well... I... I...

I got nothing.

But couldn't you just, like, blow up the world in rage instead? Seppuku's so messy.

[Nomrom]

If my friends committed seppuku because I wasn't on AIM, I would no longer have any living friends. Haven't been in in ages, and when I do get on I'm not on very long at all.

[Vonriel]

Ahh, well, good to see you back all the same. Dunno why, maybe it's because I missed your peculiar brand of humor. Or maybe it's for the punting. Hmm, oh, right.. Hockey sucks. :smallamused:

[Lucky]

Ahh, well, good to see you back all the same. Dunno why, maybe it's because I missed your peculiar brand of humor. Or maybe it's for the punting. Hmm, oh, right.. Hockey sucks. :smallamused:Humour? But everything I say is completely serious!

Oh, and when I'm in control of the world, first I'll force to play hockey 24/7 for 3 years straight.

Then I'm going to kill you.

[Alarra]

I missed you too Lucky. *cuddles, offers a slurpee*

[Lucky]

Whoa, this is so much better than last time, when no one even noticed.

[Vonriel]

And yet, you threatened to kill me this time when I did notice. I think I should just not notice so I can keep my life.

[Lucky]

I'm pretty sure I threatened you last time too, it's kind of one of my things.

[Vonriel]

No, no, I think you just started ranting about how nobody loves you or something. I'm pretty sure I didn't receive any death threats.

[Lucky]

Really? I must have been in a really good mood then. Wait, no, I think it's bad moods when I don't give out death threats. Death threats are like my tears of joy.

[Ego Slayer]

Well, I see you haven't changed since you were away. Glad to know this. :smallamused:
*throws a helpless Pixie at*

[Lucky]

Well, I see you haven't changed since you were away. Glad to know this. :smallamused:

I dont know anything and I know Ego rocks http://www.takeforum.com/artline/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[CurlyKitGirl]

I agree Ego rocks in so many ways.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

So many people boosting their Ego. Awfully vain ain't we all? And I never knew she did geology though...

[Saithis Bladewing]

Well I think Ego sucks! So there! HAHAHAHAH! Take that, Ego's ego.

[Rawhide]

Ego is not a dirty word.

[Saithis Bladewing]

Ego became a dirty word the moment I dragged her reputation through the mud.

[Sean92k]

Saithis finally got a real av, instead of cloud with plane, good for you :smallwink: Lets stop ego slaying... dont we have a member that does that:smallconfused:

[Saithis Bladewing]

Ego forgets to slay her own ego, it only bloats out of control until I step in to handle the situation.

My avatar was real before, you're just half blind and deaf. :P

[Rawhide]

That's not Saithis Bladewing, that's Nethelyrie Ebonheart.

[Sean92k]

My avatar was real before, you're just half blind and deaf. :PWhat?

Your av may have been real but how real can a cloud plane be

[Saithis Bladewing]

It was not a cloud plane for Odin's sake, it was just a shadowy flame which hid the creature known as Saithis.

@^^ The two are both the same and different. It is a long story.

[Sean92k]

It was not a cloud plane for Odin's sake, it was just a shadowy flame which hid the creature known as Saithis.was she flying the plane?

[Saithis Bladewing]

was she flying the plane?

There was no plane involved, squiddy, and you know it. There was only a damn shadowy flame, a pair of eyes and a tiara. That's. It.

[Rawhide]

Death: This one's for you.

Such carefully orchestrated puns, it must have taken a great deal of effort to compose oneself in order to tell them.

[Sean92k]

There was no plane involved, squiddy, and you know it. There was only a damn shadowy flame, a pair of eyes and a tiara. That's. It.Why did it need clearence for take off then?

[CurlyKitGirl]

True. But I bet that if you nipped around the Bach of his house, found the cellar door, turned the Handel and looked inside you would find monkeys and Death-clones typing out the puns as fast as the original Death could produce them.

[Saithis Bladewing]

Why did it need clearence for take off then?

Nothing needed 'clearance' as you put it, there was no plane, no cloud, no storm. You're completely wrong, squiddy deaerest. I'm sorry. :smallsmile:

[Sean92k]

If there was no plane why did you have one in your av?

Plus im Gaara, not zoidberg. You must be the half blind one

[The Great Skenardo]

Although with a name like "Bladewing," the mistake is perhaps understandable.

Also: It turns out being entombed in caramel gives one Katamari-like powers.

[phoenixineohp]

Just after all that trivia stuff. (http://bunny.frozenreality.co.uk/index.php?id=950)

[Saithis Bladewing]

Plus im Gaara, not zoidberg. You must be the half blind one

I'm sorry squiddy dearest, there was no plane, nor any plane-shaped objects, in my previous avatar. You're quite mistaken. Perhaps you would like me to take you to the opticians? :smallsmile:

Nah, nah. I meant with the previous "shrouded in darkness" avatar.

You mean it wasn't a piñata? (What avatar was this again?)

[The Great Skenardo]

You mean it wasn't a piñata?

No, but the point is certainly up to interpretation. Within the clouds of credulity, I would have had you believe that it was a brief glimpse into a strange otherworld dimension. A small rift in space out of which was looking a purple eye.

An interesting bit of geometrical art would also have been an acceptable answer.

So would "Side-scroller enemy"

[Azrael]

It's a Beholder wearing party hats.

(Which is, incidentally, nothing more than a pinata)

[CurlyKitGirl]

I always thought it was a sentien explosion.
Either that or an increbily fat mutated spider thing.
Never a pinata.

[banjo1985]

Or a Darkmantle with excess body hair...

[Saithis Bladewing]

Funny, it always reminded me of the insignia of the Black Legion.

[Rawhide]

Oh, so that's the avatar we are talking about. I remember that, no, never thought it was a piñata.
