SweetRein's Sugary Restrained Random Banter #89

[Reinboom]

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!

With a short kitty bow, I present to you... a new RB!

[Midnight Son]

Yay! New random banter. Here ya go for a bit of randomness. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0lW_Sxeo_Y)

[Artemician]

*Awaits influx of random "Ohmygodanewthread" posts.*

Honestly, I don't know why a thread remake should be a cause for conversation. To me, it's just as spammy as a one-word post.

[Castaras]

* First page boogie *

And man....I'm tired. I don't normally get up this early on Saturdays. Why did I get up at this ungodly hour? :smallsigh:

[Hannes]

I don't know why you did, but I do know that I woke up because my siblings were at the same computer. Screaming. At each other.

"IT'S MY TURN TO BE ON THE COMPUTER!" "NO IT'S MINE!"

[Saithis Bladewing]

I'm glad I have a computer all to myself.

[Castaras]

@^ Agreed.

Yay for me and my brother having separate computers! No more arguments!

...Except when I'm wanting to listen to my music, and he's wanting to listen to the musak of his game... Silly little brother...

[Rawhide]

Woohoo, another courage gem. That makes 18. Also, the treasure map was to another 1min of sand, now up to 24 mins.

[Hannes]

Actually... We have two more computers. The problem is, we only have one set of speakers and one monitor >_> Not to mention keyboard and mouse.

[Rawhide]

Oops, spoke too soon, another minute, now up to 25 mins.

Not sure why I need all those minutes, completing the last level is so easy to do quickly now.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Belldandy blesses this thread.

You are obsessed with that game.

[Hannes]

Iames. I am afraid. Afraid of gravity-defying hair :smalleek:

[Baerdog7]

Well, that's what lots and lots of mousse will get you. And you wonder why women take so long to get ready?

[Hannes]

Well... They do spend more time on other stuff than hairdos.
Mostly.

[EloquentRune]

I thought women took so long to get ready just so that us guys would agree to whatever they said so that we could just leave already... geez... I've been waiting 20 minutes I thought she said she was just going to change her shirt...

[Castaras]

Now THERE'S an idea....Hadn't thought of that before, thanks ER! :smallamused:

[Hannes]

...Good job, ER. Now there's a rampant female on the loose, who will do anything to make men accept what she said >_>

No offence, Castaras ._.

[Castaras]

...Good job, ER. Now there's a rampant female on the loose, who will do anything to make men accept what she said >_>

Hehe, nah.

I'm not that cruel. :smallwink:

Now to tell some of my friends...who probably would be that cruel...:smallamused:

[Rawhide]

Castaras: has your drow been moused?

[Hannes]

Why are you using invisible mode ._. It makes me all confused ._.

[Castaras]

Castaras: has your drow been moused?

Meeeeeeoooow.


Why are you using invisible mode ._. It makes me all confused ._.

Because it's fun! :smalltongue:

[EloquentRune]

*is whipped by his girlfriend*

It's not like girls can just give a wink at a guy for him to follow directions... is it...?

[FdL]

Congrats to the blue kitty for the shiny new thread.
And again thank you all for letting me have one, it was awesome ^^

[Hannes]

The wondrous beverage that is coffee... *sip*

[Castaras]

Blech. Coffee. :smallyuk:

Hot chocolate over coffee or tea any day.

[EloquentRune]

Blech. Coffee. :smallyuk:

Hot chocolate over coffee or tea any day.

OO... ooo... My vote is for tea but I cant make any because my Student Advisor has all my tea making equipment... i love tea i have 23 kinds of loose leaf in my dorm room people think i deal drugs.... it is really late hehe

[Arameus]

Well, the good news, guys, is that eventually the girls grow up and stop acting like that, making for relationships of mutual trust and respect. Right? Right? ... Oh.

:smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

[Hannes]

Coffee isn't yucky! Coffee... With cream... And whipped cream... And chocolate bits on the whipped cream... And sweet, sweet, Irish whiskey syrup... -drool-

Having said that, I also claim that I eat the instant hot chocolate powder, because it plain rocks, and drink tea excessively. Hot beverages ftw!

[Reinboom]

And sweet, sweet, Irish whiskey syrup... -drool-

I do not like being compared to such things, thank you. :smalltongue:

[Hannes]

When I say sweet, I don't mean you, I mean the adjective. Period. (Is there a synonym for sweet other than sugary? :smallconfused: )

[Rawhide]

http://thesaurus.reference.com/browse/sweet

[Hannes]

None of those are as close as sweet, though >_>

[Hoggy]

I crashed my car last night :smallbiggrin: Tis written off, apparantly. Bent chassis. I'm fine though! Pics of me being silly will be up when I host them.

[Eldpollard]

Why does that warrant a smiley face? I'm confused.

[Midnight Son]

I crashed my car last night :smallbiggrin: Tis written off, apparantly. Bent chassis. I'm fine though! Pics of me being silly will be up when I host them.Glad you're okay Hoggy. Totalling my car was one of the most thrilling and scary moments of my life.

[Ceska]

Why does that warrant a smiley face? I'm confused.
Because it is worthy a smile since he survived. Besides, adrenaline kicks can feel very "enjoyable".

I'm not allowed to drive yet, but one reason for me to learn it is that my father sometimes has had cases of microsleep. One of them was last December with me in the car. It's a thing to smile about and move on, but it sure made me reconsider my past stance of not driving because of environmental reasons.

[EmeraldRose]

...Good job, ER. Now there's a rampant female on the loose, who will do anything to make men accept what she said >_>

No offence, Castaras ._.

Hm....At first, I read this and thought..."What did I do to be called a rampant female?"...then I realized that it was aimed at ER...:smallwink:

[CurlyKitGirl]

Hm....At first, I read this and thought..."What did I do to be called a rampant female?"...then I realized that it was aimed at ER...:smallwink:

Ditto. Then I realised there's another ER about. Clones! Clones are evrywhere!

[EmeraldRose]

I am the original!!! He is the clone! Although, apparently not a very good one, as he looks nothing like me... :smalltongue:

An initial clone!! GAH!! :smalleek:

[Exachix]

Maybe...

You are both clones of someone else!

AHH!

and only just noticed.. new thread..

*breaths in the smell*

*chokes*

[Castaras]

He's got a point there, y'know.

I bet it's all a conspiracy! We're all clones of someone! We're all alts! I bet we're all Vael's alts! AHHH!

*runs around in small circles, waving arms about*

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Hello, folks. Bor stopping in to say, "IT'S ABOUT TIME!" Yeesh! FdL's RB thread lasted FOREVER! In a way, it fits the topic of the moment perfectly, as I thought his thread was being cloned repeatedly.

Maybe NONE of the threads are the real deal. Maybe they're ALL clones! :smalleek:

*joins Castaras in running around in small circles, waving arms about*

[Penguinizer]

Yeah, each RB that closes, brings it closer to 99. Which is what I got dibs on :)

I called dibs on it 6 months ago :P

Also, Bor, have you been fine?

Just curiousity.

[Raiser Blade]

I could have sworn it said SweetRein's Surgery Restrained Random Banter huh.:smallconfused:

[Reinboom]

Surgery Restrained Random Banter? So... I... operate on you all to keep the conspiracy quiet? :smallconfused:

I am not a clone!

Just curiousity.
Had you been following along on the Depression Thread, you'd know that I took an unscheduled trip...over a curb...and scraped my everything...and broke the big toe of my right foot.

They didn't call me "Dunder Klutz" when I was a teen without reason, you know. :smalltongue:

[CurlyKitGirl]

sst. ER, follow me. The Feegles can save you. Quick! Into the sig, into the sig. Now.
At least I'mnot a clone. That makes me practically unique.:smallamused:

[EmeraldRose]

The Feegles...I can trust the Feegles....wait! No! It's a trick!!! :smalleek:

*runs away*

*Follows ER with a straight-jacket*

Don't worry.

Hey. Dat's mah jacket. Why you stealin' mah jacket?

Oh, sounds like fun.

[Castaras]

Hmm...Come to think of it, ER could become a feegle pretty easily...You just need to make her smaller and give her blue skin...Hmmmm...

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Moon Called, my future bride! :smallwink: Come over and take care of me! Bring me soup and sammiches! Pleeeeeeeeease!

As we speak, my right foot is broken. Not too badly though, so I said screw going to the doctor. I'm just dealing with it. But since I'm on my feet all day at work....

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Too late!

Thanks, Em. My list of reasons to fear you has just gotten even longer.

*hides behind bottle of antibiotics*

[CurlyKitGirl]

The Feegles from Curly's and ERs' sigs run into the hospital/thread thing shouting. "Ach! Where've ye hid oour kelda ya scuggin! We want oour Big Hag back!" They begin to rampage looking for ER.

Aside froom that: I'm so happy in a way about injuries. The most severe I've ever had was a sprained riht wrist. I got it the day before I went to Guide Camp. Still went nd put up those really old fashioned canvas tents, made the furniture, the lot really.
I can boast. :)

[Castaras]

Worst injury for me?

By my house is our sloped driveway. I cycled really fast down that driveway, and crashed into the corner of our house.

Ouch. Peeling skin, bleeding, just under my eye. Hurt like hell. Had a plaster on my face for 3 weeks.

Baby. But painful in a way.

One funny injury I had was when I was six. Mum was trimming my fringe before I went to school using one of those BIG old fashioned pairs of scissors. I moved at the wrong moment (just as she sneezed) and she cut a near perfect vertical line right down through my left eyebrow. I still have the scar.

You fear me?
Awww... I'm sowwy. :smallfrown:

Worst injury for me?
I tripped over my own feet (I'm a klutz) and fell.
I scraped my knees really bad.
I've never broken a bone or had any other really serious injury (yet), I consider myself very lucky. :smallbiggrin:

[Penguinizer]

Lessee, For me. Probably falling from the top seat of a sauna (about, say, 1.2-1.3 meters) and hitting my head on the little raise underneath the floor. Still got a the scar on my forehead.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Most of my injuries come from acts of dumb.

For example, when I was working, someone spilled water on the floor and failed to wipe it up. I slipped. I threw my arms out to try and balance myself. Unbeknownst to me, I had a loose tendon under my arm. My arm came briefly unhinged, and the tendon up top raked across a bone, shredding the upper tendon. Yep, tore my rotator cuff by slipping on some water...and I never hit the ground on that one.

When you reach my age, Em, then you may be able to claim my current title of Master Klutz. :smalltongue:

[Raiser Blade]

I am a huge klutz and i always bang [insert some vunerable body part] on some [insert hard surface or object].:smalleek:

I also have a scar on my arm from an ironing accident. :smallfrown:

[Castaras]

I have a scar on my thumb from using a craft knife...was making a plastic kit...

@Curly - Maybe so. I'm just kinda lucky with injuries....Not so lucky otherwise, but meh.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Oh...Em...My fear of you stems from a silly image I have of you, perhaps generated by your avi.

I picture an adorable little girl, hands innocently clasped behind her back...trying desperately trying to conceal the serated sword that is twice her size. :smalltongue:

[Shadow]

You want to talk scars?
Don't get me started....

We'll just leave it at that.

[Dr. Bath]

My worst injury? About 5 years ago, I was with some friends in a park and for some reason we ended up throwing fir cones and sticks at each other. But as we all know, it's all fun and games until someone gets a three centimetre thorn through their lip and starts bleeding. The thorn managed to go all the way through my lip, cut the gum, and then bounce out again. I ended up having it super-glued back together in hospital and I still have a scar, albeit a very small one now.

[Mr. Moon]

Moon Called, my future bride! :smallwink: Come over and take care of me! Bring me soup and sammiches! Pleeeeeeeeease!

...

Back! Back, you dirty old man! (:smallwink:)

My worst injury was back in grade four, I tripped on the play ground and hit my knee on some gravel-covered cement, hard. The gravel was loged deep in my skin.

I even have a scar.

Yes, I can hear you screaming "You kidding? That's the worst injury that's ever happend to you?" But be nice. I also only have one thumb. :smallwink:

[Exachix]

I have 3 Scars =).

One Mini-Scar.
I was holding an air rifle (firing actually) and had the scope to close to the eye. It made a gash just above-and-to-the-right-of my right eye.

One Small Scar.
I was running around, tripped, and headbutted a radiator. This is a scar in the eyebrow.

One Large Scar.
Chest Scar. From top of where the ribcage is meant to join to the bottom. Dead Center.
From a 12-hour long operation (Arterial Switch) To solve TGA (transposition of the great arteries)

I also have a small 'scar' on my 4th finger, right hand. I dropped a glass and shards cut it there. It's a V-shaped one...

I *think* that's it.

[Raistlin1040]

Worst Injury: I was skiing, and went off a jump. I landed, but started swerving and eventually crashed into a rock. I was OK (No broken bones) but got a big scar on my kneecap.

[Orzel]

My retina detached. I have a scar in my left eye form the surgery to fix it. I have 1 brown eye and 1 zebra eye.

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

A scar? After numerous decades of trying to fall up and failing, as well as about a dozen surgeries for various issues, I AM a scar. :smalltongue:


Yes, I can hear you screaming "You kidding? That's the worst injury that's ever happend to you?" But be nice. I also only have one thumb. :smallwink:

Are you serious about the thumb? If so...ummm...how do you count to ten? I mean, how'd that happen? :smalltongue:

[Madmal]

a 2 mt (aprox.) fall into a concrete floor due to a trip around 3rd year of elementary school. my skull got a crack. my friends said i reminded them of Superman.

now add scars for holding down animals while soemoene else treated them, accidents with bikes, slips offs while trying to rollerblade, that time when i charged at a wall, that other time i managed to walk on a wall, all the times i 've been attacked by an opening door, i'll the times i've come bouncing (or rolling) down some random stairs, when i've slipped on a humid day, when i've into small holes, when i trip with my own shoes, when i've slipped near a pool, all the accidents because i couldn't open my eyes on the water (Though some of them had a nice side:smallwink: ), when picture frames were tossed at me, that time i was almost attacked by seagulls....

edit: oh, and all the times i've hammered my finger (oddly, the SAME one...now it can bend on an unusual way...:smallconfused: )

[Mr. Moon]

Are you serious about the thumb? If so...ummm...how do you count to ten? I mean, how'd that happen?

Well, if you're going to be technicle, I have a useless stick where my thumb should be. See, I was born with a muscle missing in my hand, so my thumb is now undevloped and looks a lot like another finger. Only, it won't bend very far, so I can't use it for much.

It does, conveintly, bend enough to let me play video games unhindered. Funny, that. :smallbiggrin:

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Ooooh!

I had a friend way back when that was born with deformed legs. The multiple surgeries to correct the problems supposedly made medical history. The fun part was that when they came to her kneecaps, they said, "Meh...she doesn't need these," and basically tossed them away over their collecive shoulders. Thus, she grew up without kneecaps and was able to bend her legs slightly in the wrong direction. It was always a little strange to see. :smalleek:

Ah, but she can actualy bend them, now can't she? *bends useless stick a little and sighs*

Sorry, Raiser...When I'm looking at a female, I'm not looking at her various physiological aspects and comparing them to bovines. At least, not on a regular basis. :smallwink:

[Raiser Blade]

Well Bor, that was an "udderly" incorrect assumption. I do not compare girls to cows.

[Hoggy]

I ran into my friend when I was 7 and broke my right collar bone. My parents didn't beleive me and I had to sleep on it. They took me to the hospital the next day and that's when everyone else cottoned on to the fact that it really was a funny angle. :smallannoyed:

[Bor the Barbarian Monk]

Death? Is that you in disguise? :smalltongue:

Well, MC...I had a hammertoe. (It's right next to the broken big toe I currently have.) The doc tried to fix it by releasing the tendon under it. While recovering, I reported to some online friends I had three months to live due to a case of "useless toe." (Took a bit to calm them down and realize it was a joke. I've refrained from making similar jokes since then.) Danged thing does nothing anymore. It just wants to lay around in bed, watching TV, tells me to go shopping for it.

But as I've often told my friend Julie, "It could be worse. Could've been a rhino." I mean, picture it. A useless rhino hanging around, taking up space, and...ummm...breaking things when it tries to scratch where it itches. It'd be even worse if your useless finger were a rhino. You'd NEVER get rid of the thing! :smalltongue:

[Mr. Moon]

I dunno. A rhino'd make a kick-ass watch-dog. :smallbiggrin:

I can see it now.

"C'mon, hurry!" Hissed Janson as he rooted through the drawers.

"Look, if we don't find it, the boss is gonna kill us!"

"Yeah, I know. Why do Drow always keep their houses so dark, anyway? I can't see anything."

"Well, that chick does do some crazy stuff. Hang on, I'll turn on the light." Jacoby fumbled through the room, eventualy finding a light switch. With a sigh of releife he flipped it on...

...Only to see an angry rhino staring at him.

[SurlySeraph]

Rhinos, deformed thumbs and legs, blah blah blah I HATE EVERYTHING!

Sorry. Just informing you that I'm in a bad mood. For no reason except to vent. Please ignore me, it'll prevent me from getting angrier. Or possibly make me angry enough to destroy reality itself, which would be even better. /complaining

There are worse things than useless rhinos. Useless lumps of radioactive material, for example.

[EmeraldRose]

Wasn't there a whole thread dedicated to worst injuries suffered? I remember seeing this awhile back...*a blatant attempt to re-rail*

Besides, everyone has had some kind of thing happen at some point or other, I'm sure. It'd be wierder if somebody were to pop in and say "Nope, never had any kind of bruise, break, fall, scar, or accident of any kind" and actually mean it.

Unless it's the whole people reading this as the Surgery Restrained thread....

[A Rainy Knight]

Hmm... Useless rhinos are bad, and useless lumps of radioactive material are bad, so... :smallconfused:

I guess this means that useless lumps of radioactive rhinos are even worse. :smallbiggrin:

[zeratul]

Radioactive Rhinos? Did someone let JJ Abrams into the scotch or something?

My worst injury was a bikefall. I was driving downhill, and I lost control. My front wheel turned 90 degrees and I flew over. I fell on gravel and skid for about 5 meters. My right and left hands were open (Yes, there was no skin on them) and one of my nails was... Turned over.

I also have scars.
From my sister's nails.

[Exachix]

I sometimes get scars from reading this thread.

Do they count?

[Hannes]

I'm sorry, no. But they do get you free cookies!

[Serpentine]

one of my nails was... Turned over.
That made me shudder >.< I don't like nail accidents. It was bad enough getting a huge splinter under my big toenail. I never really have big accidents, though I am often surprised by what leaves scars, eg. one a good 10cm or so long on my leg from scraping a tree branch, and a bunch of little ones on my thighs from swimming over an oyster-covered rock, and one on my fingertip from pushing on the edge of broken glass to make it cut deeper into wood. The only confirmed broken bone I've ever had, though, was a greenstick fracture from catching a ball.

That's.. very amusing. And not bad either_ Long range, no save, cuts move speed.. the listen won't get too much advantage. Mass area of effect.
If its effect lasted another round, it could be worth it - mostly just for the awkward wtf hilarity.

Perhaps you should consider making a full improbability domain set and sending it into homebrew? :smalltongue:

He turned out to be far more depressing than I would have wanted him to be, but it is not my fault, honestly. I just began writing and all that stuff came out of nowhere. I'm curious about his story, though. I want to know who is her, why isn't she with him, is she dead? Was it really his fault if she's not with him anymore?

I guess the story will tell itself as the game goes on...

But I'm a bit freaked out by him, you know? He's really sadder than I intended to create him. I hope he'll quit drinking through the game, or have a stroke. But I'm not sure what will happen to him when he hears about the Falcon. Time will tell two things:

1) What the heck will happen (and has happened) to him, and

How's that for a start :smallwink: It was just a very vague sort of an idea, though. Will involve a lot of abstract, hypothetical, rhetorical and philosophical thought. And/or Dali paintings and acid.

Reina, you can't have blue without these (http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&rlz=1T4ADBS_en___AU217&q=satin+bowerbird)fellows.

Damn, another blue competitor.

Why does everyone have to be blue eh? :smallamused: :smalltongue:

[Reinboom]

I've been in love with the color blue, or more specifically either an electric blue darting through a dark violet background or a country blue through a black or dark violet background, for a very long time. Even as far as writing essays to study the color and find my attraction to it. And quite a numerous folk here should know the effects of making the balls of yarn they put out to me decidedly Blue.

I believe I hold at least some reasons to desire the color nomination. :smalltongue: Mah playing field! :smallamused:

[Exachix]

For anyone who has ever listened to the series (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvHr5Gva4Hk).

*Late*

That is such an awesome song...
My and my mate cheered when we heard it on the film...

I've been liking blue for yonks. I like lots of stuff which are blue as well. Even my personality fits blue sometimes. :smalltongue:

That's a great song, and I hadn't heard it for years...

I'm listening to the soundtrack of the movie "Across the Universe". It's not half bad, you know?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Damn catchy, irritating songs...

[Skippy]

Hey, I like it. I also like the Blue Men Group. And lots of blue things. I even like the song "For you blue" of The Beatles. And this little guy too: ---->:smallconfused:

Blue things are cool.

EDIT: Except blue decks in Magic: The Gathering

[Reinboom]

Blue things are cool.

Why thank you.

And I would think so, blue is a cool color on the hue spectrum.

In other news - I'm going to try to pull two 4 hour classes today with 0 hours of sleep. :smallbiggrin:

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

That Blue song always make me want to play Earthbound for the SNES. Anyone else remember the blue village of cultists??

[Trog]

A coworker -just- won free tickets to see the Blue Man Group. Then I find this discussion. Also, I'm wearing all blue today.

Is there something mysterious going on that I should be aware of? :smallconfused:

[Skippy]

Blue is invading the earth!!! Halp!!!!

[Reinboom]

Perhaps Mama should pay more attention to the abroad - perhaps there's some psychic connection, perhaps Mama should know the reasons.
Right Mama, Trog? Meow.

In other news - I'm going to try to pull two 4 hour classes today with 0 hours of sleep. :smallbiggrin:

Yay! That's quite fun, actually. I did it one time to many during my university days. :smallsmile:

[Hannes]

Well... I didn't pull it at university, but in 9th grade (this year). And not two 4-hour classes, but four two-hour classes. Needless to say, I was confused, laughing and depressed at the same time.

[Castaras]

...I really don't get how you guys can all do that...I find it difficult to survive on 5 hours sleep, let alone 0...:smalleek:

[SMEE]

Caffeinne, my dear Castaras, unhealthy amounts of caffeinne. :smalltongue:

You'll look and feel like a zombie after two or more whole days awake, though... :smallannoyed:

[Amotis]

And after five days of sleep depreivation come the hallucinations. :smallamused:

[Hannes]

Coffee, constant action, stuff...

[Castaras]

Ahhh. So it's all the caffeine, and the hope of seeing the pretty hallucinations that keep you awake. :smalltongue:

And being a real life zombie could be pretty cool as well...

[Skippy]

Caffeine-flavored brains

Also, you can get a strange sort of come-and-go disorientation. Something like someone turning a whisk around in a quick swirl in your brains.

I think I read somewhere that Energy equals the Mass of ingested Caffeine squared (E=mic2). The theory goes that the closer to total blood-caffeine saturation you get, the closer to pure Energy your body becomes. I think this is the point where other, generally more accepted laws of Physics kick in, making the pinpointing of various objects in space nigh-impossible, which accounts for supposed flaws in one's visual acuity. This also explains why time seems to slow down when you've gone 4+ days with no sleep, powered by nothing more than caffeine and willpower, since your blood is at this point traveling at near light speed.

Hm. This made considerably more sense when I started typing. *shrug*

But... if you give them out to anyone, for anything, it doesn't seem as special :smallfrown:

In my first year I pulled an all-nighter (one of several) to get an assignment done. Then I went to a doctor appointment. He kept me waiting in his office, and I fell asleep >.<

[Hannes]

The weirdest dream ever. I asked a friend over to help me with problems (not school problems). Had a row with parents, ended up changing the plan to the city. In the city we find out that a prisonful of people have escaped and are everywhere. We see a car, people come out and start pulling the closest people in. Me and my friend run. After some time we reach a school. We run in, and the doors close. GG, you just ran into the BBEG's lair. There are gazillions of children around, with weapons, apparently brainwashed. We can't do anything. We spend a lot of time there till I get sick and we break a window and make a run for it. We run into the woods but get caught and brought back again.

The dream repeats, but with a different ending.

Finally, after many repetitions, I realize that the things around our neck and wrist are tracking devices. I tell everyone and we ALL run away. Dream end.

(I left out parts of personal drama for my own mental health. It's easier for me that way.)

[Rex Idiotarum]

I had a dream last night about a Helter Skelter. A Slide around a Tower. That's all I remember.

[Skippy]

So the words Helter Skelter actually exist, or are you referencing to the song? I thought it was merely the title of a song...

[Rex Idiotarum]

Helter Skelter, very much like the one in my dream.
http://www.helterskelterhire.com/assets/images/helter_skelter_2.jpg

When I get to the bottom,
I go back to the top of the slide,
Where I stop and turn,
and I go for a ride,
Till I get to the bottom and I see you again,


C'mon, can't you see what the song's about?

[Skippy]

A slide in a tower, I know that. What I don't know is if Helter Skelter are actually real words, or a real place, or if it was just the title of that incredible song.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Yeah, it is, an Helter Skelter is what they call a slide tower.

[Rawhide]

Adjective: helter-skelter
1. Lacking a visible order or organization

Also, I'm rather fond of this pi:

Poe, E.
Near a Raven

Midnights so dreary, tired and weary.
Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!
An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber's antedoor.
"This", I whispered quietly, "I ignore".

Perfectly, the intellect remembers: the ghostly fires, a glittering ember.
Inflamed by lightning's outbursts, windows cast penumbras upon this floor.
Sorrowful, as one mistreated, unhappy thoughts I heeded:
That inimitable lesson in elegance - Lenore -
Is delighting, exciting...nevermore.

Ominously, curtains parted (my serenity outsmarted),
And fear overcame my being - the fear of "forevermore".
Fearful foreboding abided, selfish sentiment confided,
As I said, "Methinks mysterious traveler knocks afore.
A man is visiting, of age threescore."

Taking little time, briskly addressing something: "Sir," (robustly)
"Tell what source originates clamorous noise afore?
Disturbing sleep unkindly, is it you a-tapping, so slyly?
Why, devil incarnate!--" Here completely unveiled I my antedoor--
Just darkness, I ascertained - nothing more.

While surrounded by darkness then, I persevered to clearly comprehend.
I perceived the weirdest dream...of everlasting "nevermores".
Quite, quite, quick nocturnal doubts fled - such relief! - as my intellect said,
(Desiring, imagining still) that perchance the apparition was uttering a whispered "Lenore".
This only, as evermore.

Silently, I reinforced, remaining anxious, quite scared, afraid,
While intrusive tap did then come thrice - O, so stronger than sounded afore.
"Surely" (said silently) "it was the banging, clanging window lattice."
Glancing out, I quaked, upset by horrors hereinbefore,
Perceiving: a "nevermore".

Completely disturbed, I said, "Utter, please, what prevails ahead.
Repose, relief, cessation, or but more dreary 'nevermores'?"
The bird intruded thence - O, irritation ever since! -
Then sat on Pallas' pallid bust, watching me (I sat not, therefore),
And stated "nevermores".

Bemused by raven's dissonance, my soul exclaimed, "I seek intelligence;
Explain thy purpose, or soon cease intoning forlorn 'nevermores'!"
"Nevermores", winged corvus proclaimed - thusly was a raven named?
Actually maintain a surname, upon Pluvious seashore?
I heard an oppressive "nevermore".

My sentiments extremely pained, to perceive an utterance so plain,
Most interested, mystified, a meaning I hoped for.
"Surely," said the raven's watcher, "separate discourse is wiser.
Therefore, liberation I'll obtain, retreating heretofore -
Eliminating all the 'nevermores' ".

Still, the detestable raven just remained, unmoving, on sculptured bust.
Always saying "never" (by a red chamber's door).
A poor, tender heartache maven - a sorrowful bird - a raven!
O, I wished thoroughly, forthwith, that he'd fly heretofore.
Still sitting, he recited "nevermores".

The raven's dirge induced alarm - "nevermore" quite wearisome.
I meditated: "Might its utterances summarize of a calamity before?"
O, a sadness was manifest - a sorrowful cry of unrest;
"O," I thought sincerely, "it's a melancholy great - furthermore,
Removing doubt, this explains 'nevermores' ".

Seizing just that moment to sit - closely, carefully, advancing beside it,
Sinking down, intrigued, where velvet cushion lay afore.
A creature, midnight-black, watched there - it studied my soul, unawares.
Wherefore, explanations my insight entreated for.
Silently, I pondered the "nevermores".

"Disentangle, nefarious bird! Disengage - I am disturbed!"
Intently its eye burned, raising the cry within my core.
"That delectable Lenore - whose velvet pillow this was, heretofore,
Departed thence, unsettling my consciousness therefore.
She's returning - that maiden - aye, nevermore."

Since, to me, that thought was madness, I renounced continuing sadness.
Continuing on, I soundly, adamantly forswore:
"Wretch," (addressing blackbird only) "fly swiftly - emancipate me!"
"Respite, respite, detestable raven - and discharge me, I implore!"
A ghostly answer of: "nevermore".

" 'Tis a prophet? Wraith? Strange devil? Or the ultimate evil?"
"Answer, tempter-sent creature!", I inquired, like before.
"Forlorn, though firmly undaunted, with 'nevermores' quite indoctrinated,
Is everything depressing, generating great sorrow evermore?
I am subdued!", I then swore.

In answer, the raven turned - relentless distress it spurned.
"Comfort, surcease, quiet, silence!" - pleaded I for.
"Will my (abusive raven!) sorrows persist unabated?
Nevermore Lenore respondeth?", adamantly I encored.
The appeal was ignored.

"O, satanic inferno's denizen -- go!", I said boldly, standing then.
"Take henceforth loathsome "nevermores" - O, to an ugly Plutonian shore!
Let nary one expression, O bird, remain still here, replacing mirth.
Promptly leave and retreat!", I resolutely swore.
Blackbird's riposte: "nevermore".

So he sitteth, observing always, perching ominously on these doorways.
Squatting on the stony bust so untroubled, O therefore.
Suffering stark raven's conversings, so I am condemned, subserving,
To a nightmare cursed, containing miseries galore.
Thus henceforth, I'll rise (from a darkness, a grave) -- nevermore!

[Serpentine]

That's kind of annoying. :smalltongue:

And also - as an aside - I have an urge to sing out the equation to pi now...

Being an adult is great. It means I can drive my car to the store anytime I want, and buy candy. :smallbiggrin:

Better yet, a Late teen, I can drive to the store any time I want and have my mom buy candy. Without her knowing at times.

I prefer BBP based formulas specifically for pi:

easier/more fun to calculate. :smalltongue:

Did someone say "pie"?

[Skippy]

No, we said

That's an awesome image.

I love pi, I live e, I love phi and I love Phi, especially the last two.

That has to be the most awesome and most true explanation of why having your license is a wonderful thing. :smallbiggrin:

Hiya Gez!

This thread is making me hungry. Sigh, and I'd just eaten, too.

[Raiser Blade]

This thread makes me want candy. *Tastes thread* :smalleek:

Hex code rocks, too bad it eeeeeeeeeeeevil and makes no sense.
Freshman year, I used hex code so much, I could remember colors. Thankfully I havent had that class in a while and have blissfully forgotten it.

I'm positive that can't be hygienic. Just look at all the people who've used this thread before you. Eggs, cats and plague-carrying rats, for crying out loud!

There's only one plague carrying rat around here, anyone else trying to claim being one gets to be sent to the corner and be called naughty for stealing my niche.

:smallconfused:

Hex code makes sense, it's just a number base system.
Instead of...
0123456789
or
01
you have
0123456789ABCDEF

So, the number right after F is 10, then 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F, 20, etc.

It's used for its convenience with byte length, since two hex digits make up the same length of a byte. Which is also why it's "used for color" - Each color valueis done from 0 to 255, or 0 through FF in hexadecimal - a single byte. There's three (or four bytes depending on the image type in question) per color. So you have a range of 0 through 255 per color. The colors used are additive (light mixed), so, you have red, blue, and green. Three primary colors. Each with a range of 0 through FF (255). So you have 6 characters of space - or between 000000 and FFFFFF in colors.
