Jack Squat's Justlessly Juxtaposed Random Banter #101

[Jack Squat]

The Rules.
Please Read Them!

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 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


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

This thread is for random discussion, not random chit chat. People have set up an unofficial IRC chat thingy (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12321) 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!

Friends! Playgrounders! Forumites! Lend me your banter.


So yeah...I'm in a hurry; I'll get an actual title up sometime tonight.

[zeratul]

Mmmmm, I do love that new thread smell. *Ceremonially breaks a bottle of champaign e over the hull of the thread.....if a thread can have a hull*

[The Bushranger]

Ah now where were we? Ah yes, dreams.

Cristo - Don't want sand in them, eh? *knows why* :smallamused: :smallredface:

*ahem*

Anyway, yes, I've had a GitP themed dream. Fueled also by my having gotten the Stargate season 1 and 2 DVDs and Ark of Truth (by that point - now have Continuum as well). Myself and Mauve Shirt being pursued through the SGC by killer bees - I mean must have been Gou'ald enhanced bees or something, one-sting-and-you're-DEAD critters, not like the "real" "killer" bees - but anyway, rushing through the corridors, blast doors closing, yelling over a comm for Thor to beam us out of there before the bees got us, finally as they closed in he did...

...and then I woke up.

Odd that I remember all that, most of my dreams I don't remember, when I dream at all, which is rare.

[Amiria]

Gitp-inspired dreams ? No, sadly I almost never remember my dreams. My most vivid dreams are fever dreams when I am really ill. But I'm not really looking forward to the next ones ...

I'm a bit ill at the moment, something flu-like apparently, light fever, cough and the sniffles, but not enough for dreams. If anything, it keeps me from falling asleep because I can't really breath through my nose and just roll from one side to the other the whole night. :smallannoyed:

[EmeraldRose]

Illness huh? :smallyuk: Hope you feel better Amiria. I've been home most of the day with a kid with pink eye. Hopefully I can convice him to keep doing the eye drops so I can go back to work by lunchtime tomorrow.

[The Bushranger]

Aw, sorry to hear that you're sick. *makes some chicken noodle soup for the Countess*.

I know exactly how you feel, I hate that, you lay on one side and your nose stuffs up, roll over and the other side stuffs up....ew.

[Haruki-kun]

Hey, Jack? Can you remove the QUOTE tags from the first post? If not, whoever starts the next thread won't be able to quote it...

Also, get well soon, Amiria.

[Phase]

Hey, does anyone here know how to join the Giantitp Steam group?

Also, yay! New thread!

Hmm. No GitP dreams on my behalf though since we've been talking about them I'll probably get one tonight... my sub-conscious is the highly suggestible type.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Did you miss me?

[Cristo Meyers]

Did you miss me?

You were gone? :smallwink::smalltongue:

I kid, I kid. Welcome back!

[Tragic_Comedian]

This is kinda cool... (http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a102/SKAKIXIK/1167101736351.jpg)

[Sneak]

*sneak attack!*

I think I vaguely remember having a GitP inspired dream...as in a dream about the forums/people on the forums, not as in a dream about OOTS (honestly, if everything but the boards got removed from this site, including the comics, I wouldn't really care all that much). But I don't remember the specifics, unfortunately...I do remember being happy about what was going on in the dream, though...

[Dragonrider]

I once had an X-Men dream. Actually, I've had more than one, which is weird, because I don't even remember the movie very well. I could make myself invisible, my brother could turn into a purple wolf, our cousin could turn into a trash monkey (don't ask me...) and the three of us were running through a university building (khaki walls, gray carpet) trying to get to Professor X.

yeah. It was weird.

[Felixaar]

I wish I could turn into a Trash Monkey. Then I could have nice things...

[Cristo Meyers]

My dreams vary wildly. There's the ones that can't really be discussed here, the ones that go completely surreal and strange (think RE 3's Nemesis in a tutu...), and the only one I can really remember...my one and only nightmare.

It wasn't even original, either. Look in the rearview mirror and OHMYGOD THERE SHE IS! Some reason scared the living hell out of me...

[Lupy]

I've had Oots and Town themed dreams, do they count?

[Phase]

I have not dreamt in a long time...

I miss that...

[Felixaar]

Nightmare's, ugh. I had the weirdest dream... or really more of a mid-wake freakout, that my head was crushed under a mack truck.

I mean, ouch.

Shall we move onto something else, then?

[Sneak]

I haven't had a nightmare (that I remember, at least) in years and years. The last one that I remember was when I was fairly little. All I remember of it is a short albino woman standing on a red carpet in a train, cackling. I have no idea what was so terrifying about it.

I don't really remember most of my dreams. But most of the ones I do remember, I remember vividly for a long time.

[Ego Slayer]

The only thing I remember about last night's dream was an xkcd strip that involved cake.

o_O;

[Sneak]

The only thing I remember about last night's dream was an xkcd strip that involved cake.

Let's hope it was prophetic. I love xkcd, and I love cake. :smalltongue:

[Mr. Mud]

I have been trying to have the same dream of her for like 4 nights, and it isn't working!! I need something to help me... Like one of those special pillows, or vikadin. (I fractured my spine) :smallbiggrin::smallannoyed::smallmad:

Take shots of maple syrup and tonic water. That's always worked for me. Oh, and spreading jelly on your face before you go to sleep can't hurt.

Unless you have a hungry dog, then it might hurt...

...or you'll just end up with a really sticky face...either way

[Mr. Mud]

The sad part is I'm now considering that... :smallbiggrin:. Forget the pain. How to I choose what I dream? :smallannoyed:

[Ego Slayer]

Let's hope it was prophetic. I love xkcd, and I love cake. :smalltongue:
What with the dream involving boomerangs the night before that boomerangs xkcd strip (which still seriously creeps me out), I'm totally waiting to see cake in tomorrow's strip. :smallbiggrin:

[Jack Squat]

Hey, Jack? Can you remove the QUOTE tags from the first post? If not, whoever starts the next thread won't be able to quote it...

I'll get around to it when I change the title...just got back from a class I was rushing out the door to get to when I put this up.


...did someone mention cake?

[Haruki-kun]

...did someone mention cake?

I am inclined to believe that the cake has been established as a deceit.

That was not an internet Meme just now.

[nothingclever]

Yeah, it really isn't a meme unless you specifically called the cake a lie.:smallwink:

Anyways cherry cheesecake is my favourite kind.

[Jack Squat]

My favorite cake is Boston Creme Pie, which I just finished off.


Also, (bad) title now in place and quote tags removed.

[Phase]

I wonder why that specific line was what got Memefied? Why not:

"Did you know, you can donate one, or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science Self-Esteem Center For Girls? It's true!" Unlike the cake!

[Jack Squat]

"Did you know, you can donate one, or all of your vital organs to the Aperture Science Self-Esteem Center For Girls? It's true!" Unlike the cake!

I know which vital organ I'd donate :smallamused:

[Haruki-kun]

I know which vital organ I'd donate :smallamused:

I don't think you'd be getting it back, though.....<.<

I'm guessing it was that line because it was easier. Example:

"Blablabla.... random chatting, blablabla, so I had some cake today..."

"THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!" *people stare at him* "Eh.... nothing."

[Sneak]

I'm actually not a huge cake fan. I prefer pie. Mmmm...pumpkin pie...

I love most traditional Thanksgiving food, actually. Turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, applesauce, pumpkin pie, corn, etc.

[EmeraldRose]

Mmm...pie. I had some key lime pie a couple days ago, and it was yummy! Cake would be good too. I've been wanting more sweet stuff than usual...it's kinda wierd. :smalltongue:

[Mr. Mud]

Thanksgiving food good, and Thanks giving food fine, but... you.. don't like creamed corn do you...? :smalleek:

And Pumpkin pie FTW, My grandma made the best I've ever tasted before she passed :smallsmile:.

[Jack Squat]

hmm...I think my favorite pie is either Key Lime or Chocolate Creme.

Although on the whole, I prefer brownies to cake or pie.

[Haruki-kun]

I like Strawberry Pie the most, closely followed by Chocolate Pie. But cake is good, too. And so's Pecan Pie with Ice Cream.....

Mmmm..... Ice cream....

[Cristo Meyers]

I hate you all...

brownies, cake, pie...

...making me hungry...:smalltongue:

[zeratul]

Dude I made this awesome cake recently. I decided I wanted to do something interesting instead of boring old cake, and I'd always been a fan of the combination of chocolate and orange flavors, so I decided to do it with cake. I made chocolate cake then added the juice of a lemon to the batter. Once it was done baking I spread dark chocolate frosting mixed with the zest of about 3 or 4 oranges onto it, then had an orange slice garnish on top of it. Dude, it was awesome.

I haven't had mashed potatoes in a while.
I used to like mixing them together with my stuffing and corn as leftovers. And putting it on bread to make a sammich.

Death by carbs?
I think so.

[nothingclever]

The only form of potatoes I really like are breakfast style home fries.

[Haruki-kun]

I had a potato today for lunch. Baked. With stuff on it.

It was gewd, but I'd better not get used to eating that sort of thing every day....<.<

[nothingclever]

Well if you minus the "stuff" it's pretty healthy. Way better than eating deepfried fries.

[Felixaar]

I haven't had a nightmare (that I remember, at least) in years and years. The last one that I remember was when I was fairly little. All I remember of it is a short albino woman standing on a red carpet in a train, cackling. I have no idea what was so terrifying about it.

Short women can be pretty scary. *gets attacked by his girlfriend*

Meat Pies > Other Pies.

I'm sorry, but it's the truth, ladies and gentlemen.

In my very humble opinion, meat has no place in pies, unless its a pot pie.
Mmm, turkey pot pie.

Meat has a place in EVERYTHING.

No, no, I'm not that stupid. I had one at a restaurant once, and it was mmmmm. *nods*

[Sneak]

I haven't had mashed potatoes in a while.
I used to like mixing them together with my stuffing and corn as leftovers. And putting it on bread to make a sammich.

Death by carbs?
I think so.

That actually sounds really good. I am hungry.


The only form of potatoes I really like are breakfast style home fries.

Mmmm...home fries. Peeled home fries with ketchup and bits of onion...amazing. And really easy to make.

Meat Pies > Other Pies.

I'm sorry, but it's the truth, ladies and gentlemen.

I've never had a meat pie, but I've been a little skeptical of them ever since I saw Sweeny Todd. The musical, not the movie (I haven't seen the latter).

[Phase]

Meat has a place in EVERYTHING.

Hell, most living things are made out of meat!

[Serpentine]

In my very humble opinion, meat has no place in pies, unless its a pot pie.
Mmm, turkey pot pie.You are about to be attacked by the entirety of Australia. Srsly. Meat pies = taysteh, and a staple of my diet, for lunch and dinner.
I think the only sweet pies I've had are apple and berry ones, that sort of thing. And custard tarts, if you include that. And creme brulee tart... Mmmmm. I'd like to try pumpkin pie sometime. I'm surprisingly fussy about my desserts... It annoys me how they keep spoiling perfectly good cakes by slathering them with jam. That said, though, black forest cake is good. I also made a really really tasty (if raw in the middle) orange and poppyseed cake, once, with homegrown poppy seeds and freshly squeezed orange juice. Actually, I think I might have the stuff to do it again, though the seeds aren't home grown... There's also the extra-special mudcake, the recipe of which I've already posted on here somewhere. I can't remember it all, but it's something along the lines of half a kg of chocolate, 6 eggs, 125g (or was it 250g?) of butter, and 1/4 cup flour. It's awesome. Right, this topic has me resolved: This afternoon after work, I'm gonna start this recipe thread I've been meaning to for a while.

[Skippy]

Yay new thread!

Today I met my ex's boyfriend. It was a bit awkward and I would have preferred not to have met him. That's the con part of working at a Blockbuster, I guess. They could have rented anywhere else, though. :smallyuk:

[The Bushranger]

Mmm...pie. I had some key lime pie a couple days ago, and it was yummy!

Please tell me it was yellow.

If it was green, I shall have to swallow my chivalry and harm you.
:smallannoyed::smalltongue::smallwink:

[nothingclever]

Forget meat pies. The greatest form of meat is boneless chicken with some seasoning.

[Zeb The Troll]

Why would key lime pie be yellow? Limes be green. Lime juice be green. Lime pies be green.

:smallconfused:

I don't believe I've ever had a yellow key lime pie.

[dish]

If you're going to make a savoury pie then you might as well go all the way and make filo parcels with cream cheese, petit pois and mint. (That's one of my favourites if I'm cooking a vegetarian dinner party.)

In other news: last night I had a panic attack about a missing cat. Then I had a dream about where she was. Got up this morning and found her.

I love practical prophetic dreams.

[The Bushranger]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

HULK SMASH PUNY TROLL!!


...ahem.

Limes are green. KEY limes are YELLOW.

It's against the law to sell a green key lime pie in Florida. I kid you not.

If you've had a green "Key lime" pie, you've been defrauded, I'm afraid.

Sorry, but I'm passionate when it comes to our Official State Pie. :smallsmile:

[Zeb The Troll]

Heh, I always wondered what the "key" meant in key lime pie*. I didn't know there was such a thing as a key lime. Although, now that it's been cleared up for me, it makes sense.

*While you hear the term and hear key lime pie, I was always hearing key lime pie and wondered if "key" was some sort of reference to the tartness or something. Learn sumpin' every day, eh?

I've still never had one that wasn't green. Some are lighter than others, but they've all been green.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Even when I was in Florida for that month or so, I never saw a green Key Lime Pie.
I think BR is pulling our legs.

[Mr. Mud]

He was. (http://www.melissas.com/images/products/465a.jpg) Atleast I think he is... I could be wrong, but being the Pie person I am, never knew that... He's definitely BSing us... Skillfully done Bush.

*hands half a cookie* :smallbiggrin:

All Hail the might Bushranger!
:smallbiggrin:

[Zeb The Troll]

Just for giggles, I looked up that law about serving green pies. It seems to be a tall tale. The closest I could find was an attempt at legislation to fine people $100 for selling key lime pies not made from key limes. That legislation didn't pass. Even if it had, they still could have added food coloring and not run afoul of pie police.

[RabbitHoleLost]

I don't think he was, really. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_lime)
I was just trying to tease him =P

[Mr. Mud]

Dang it! He made me waste a "smart moment" on that...

Anyways, my OP was changed to reflect the Awesome of a yellow lime :smallbiggrin:.

[The Bushranger]

*snickers*
I pull legs all the time, so your suspicions were understandable. =P
In FL we know how to make them pies right. Out of state, well, remember what ol' P.T. Barnum reputedly said. :smallamused:

Last I'd heard that bill was still going through the state legislature, interesting to get an update. Nope, 'Key lime' - grows in the Florida Keys. :smallwink:

And the Key Lime Pie is the besssssssssssst pie on the face of the planet. :smallbiggrin:
Just don't ever get them from Zaxby's. EVER. :smallyuk:

'Tis fun to cook, and I daresay I do it rather well.

Anyway, I just woke up. Well, an hour ago. And the first dream I had was all GitPy, but I forgot it. The second dream involved me showing an old friend these forums, and the third one involved me being kissed by some dude that was the figment of my imagination. From there the dreams got less GitPy, until at one point I was wandering around my school, which had become ultra-modern, and ultra-invaded by terrorists, with an MP7.

I got back from my Liverpool holiday. The hotel needed enhancing a bit (the staff were incompitant and it was a bit dingy), and we wasted way too much time driving about doing nothing, but the Beatle's museum was good (the Magical Mystery Tour was overpriced, and most of the information was available at the museum). The safari park we went to yesterday was great as well (I'll need to check what it was called).

This is not going to be a fun day. So I mentioned somewhere yesterday my son has pink eye. Which means 24 hours of drops before he can go back to school (and I can go back to work). So yesterday he complained about it, but ultimitely let me put the drops in like four times before he went to bed.

So this morning, I have spent the last hour trying to get the ---- drops in his eye, while he's fought and cried and covered his eyes, and squirmed out of my lap. I finally had to sit on him and hold his arms down with my elbows, and I still only managed to kinda get the drops in his eye while it was squeezed shut! :smallmad:

And I have to do this again in TWO HOURS! :smallfurious:

Otherwise, he can't go to school and I can't go to work.

I was so upset I was crying while I was holding him down. He, of course, was fine immediately after I let him up, and started playing with his stuff.

It's going to be a long morning.

[randman22222]

Back from guitar lessons. Gah! Moving and changing chords around quickly is hard. I need to be able to change chord shape/inversion/whatever within a sixteenth note. At a decent speed, of course.

Anywho, I'm finally almost done with Hamlet. Then it'll be A Doll's House.

I got back from my Liverpool holiday.

Ha ha ha! Good one.

Eggy's guide to Liverpool:


10 Fun Facts About Scousers
Scousers are not related to humans. Taxonomically they are a form of rodent (rattus merseyensis) that has been mutated into a superficially humanoid form by the effects of their environment.
Their rodent ancestry is the reason Scouse voices are so shrill, high-pitched and downright irritating. To human ears the alarm call of a startled Scouser sounds much like the words "Owh no! Rooon! It's tha polis!"
Scousers are omnivorous and can eat almost any type of garbage. They seem capable of surviving on a diet of nothing more than nicotine, cheap lager and deep fried boots.
Scousers fry their hair into perms (pron. "peeeeeeeerm") to make themselves look larger and more threatening to potential predators.
The reason Scousers flop about so much is that – unlike proper humans - they have no bones (see illustration (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/MM35_gallery/MM35_PG35a.jpg)).
Although they fear machinery – it being associated in their primitive minds with the horrors of work – Scousers are fascinated by loud noises and shiny things: hence their love of hubcaps, mobile phone and car stereos. Scousers look up to those of their number who have the largest piles of stolen tat.
Scousers are tribal animals and enjoy fighting among themselves over arbitrary differences in the colouring of crude fabric coverings in which they drape themselves.
For all their faults Scousers are sensitive beings who deeply empathise with the pain of others. They are not at all a fickle bunch of sentimental, grandstanding emotional wallowers in secondhand grief. No, really. Ask them how caring they are. They'll tell you all about their manifest virtues, loudly and at great length.
A Scouser removed from its native habitat pines for it loudly and relentlessly. Curiously, it never seems to move back there when offered the opportunity.
Fact #10 was stolen by thieving Scousers.

10 Facts You Should Know About Liverpool (pron. "Liva-puuuuuwl")

Liverpool was not founded like most cities. It is merely a collection of flotsam which washed ashore in the tidal Mersey estuary. The ancestral Scousers scavenged the flotsam and heaped it up on top of their warrens in crude imitation of human buildings.
Scousers consider their heap of spoil to be the greatest city in the world. It is indeed the greatest city built by non-human hands.
Liverpool has never burned down in a great fire. Shame that.
Liverpool has half the population it did in the 1930s. This decline can be ascribed to rampant cannibalism within the populace, and the fact that not even Scousers want to live there.
Liverpool is one of the great cultural cities of Europe ... PWAH-hah-hah!!! No, sorry. I just can't say that with a straight face.
The Beatles came from Liverpool...and left as soon as possible.
Liverpool has a great comic tradition, including such luminaries as Stan Boardman, Jimmy Tarbuck, Cannon and Ball, and the Chuckle Brothers. :smallconfused:
Many Irish moved to Liverpool in the 19th century, but only because Ireland was a desolate, famine-struck bog at the time. Any Irish with a modicum of taste and good sense stowed away in the festering bilges of rotting émigré ships in preference to staying in Liverpool.
Adolf Hitler's half-brother lived in Liverpool for most of his adult life and sired half-Scouse feral ratchildren on one of their hideous, bony-fingered females.
Nothing else of note or benefit to humanity ever came out of Liverpool.


v-- Nah, not much. I'm not keen on any of the top right of the country, but I feel a particularly profound distaste for....that place. :smallamused:

[Tempest Fennac]

My family wanted to go. I take it you don't like the place, right?

[wadledo]

he worst thing about Liverpool is that you actually have to work to get livers.
You'd expect a place named Liverpool to have more livers without bodies.
It took me 2 hours to get enough and that was from camping.

Also, WoW I been playing to obviously much of.

Okay, I'm really pissed off at my dad. I asked him yesterday night to wake me the same time he did yesterday, eight'o'clock, about the time he left for work, I suppose. This morning he apparently left for work, called the house at ten to wake me up, knowing full well that doesn't work on me, then gave up. I woke up at noon. Now instead of a whole day to do what I have to do, I have two-thirds of a day.

Maths paper 3 (different exam altogether) - U

And I take none of those subjects. And the system only grades A - E, then N for negligible pass and U for total fail. We don't mark on Distinction, Merit, Pass, Fail and I don't even know what the hell T is.
And everyone knew my results!
Then Mum said I must have cheated because I never got results that good ever and that was why they were being remarked.

On the 25th - 26th.
It's only a faint possibility at the moment, but Londonphobia will be beaten.
Why we're going? London MCM Expo.

LONDON!

[dish]

Yay, Curly's going to London!

[Jibar]

I'm quite fond of London.
Most likely because I've thus far only visited the more cultural areas (aka, lots of the theatres and the Tate), but also because, hey, it was once the capital of a world spanning empire and I'm quite the patriot.

Also:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[randman22222]

I wanna go to the UK. :smallfrown:
I think I might be able to hit Scotland this winter. That'll be fun, not having seen winter in around 9 years.

AND GRR! *Nips over to unreasonable ranting.*

[dish]

Also:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Jibar: here's my advice (you can ignore it as you wish). Arrange to meet your friends tomorrow. Plan something really spectacular and fun to do with them after you get the results. Why not give out happiness balloons to all your classmates at college? Or throw custard pies at the teachers? Or go on a trip to the zoo? ...Just something fun.

Then focus on the fun. Focus. On. The. Fun.

[Jibar]

Plans for the following days:
Tomorrow: Success - Go celebrate with friends. Failure - Go to the beach. I like the beach.
Friday: Probably going to be Soul Calibur IV with a friend. Preferably at his.
Saturday: Spend day with friends, movies, whatever. But not at home.
Sunday: Go to the zoo.
Monday: Start doing work for next year. I am optomistic. Oh yes. Yes. No I'm not.

STOP RAINING!
It was bad enough you did this for GCSE results, stop doing it for AS!

I'm actually starting to seriously panic here. Scary.

Gah! You're starting to make me nervous now! I'm just not looking forward to opening my results in front of everyone.

[YPU]

You know, every now and then peeps say they searched for their own name and found this or that.
Now why, why did I choose a username that is to few letters to do a search on? Google-fu could help, but then I would also find all my own posts, and I’m pretty sure they number 100:1 in favour of my own posts. Grrr.

Also, yay, going to London ina few days, I could really use a nice trip right now.

Also, @V curly, I like your blog, cant pin down why but its real nice.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Only possibly. It depends on Best Friends' parents saying yes and one of them chaperoning us up there.

[Dr. Bath]

:cool:

London's where it's at.

Guh. Why does it have to be dark early again! Boo! Why can't the day be long like summer, but a pleasant temperature, like spring (accompanied by pretty flowers)

Curse you nature! Curse you for not being exactly what I want at this precise moment!

[DraPrime]

I've been to London. It didn't really impress me. Possibly because I've already been to the 3 greatest cities on earth.

1. Berlin
2. Warsaw
3. Boston

[Calamity]

My mum's booked the day off work for my GCSE results day. I am not very happy about this at all... :smallfrown:

If I don't do well I'd rather be alone for a while..

[Kneenibble]

I spent a couple of hours in the London airport on my way home from India last summer. I'd heard such bad things about the air - smog and all - but after choking on the haze of downtown Chennai for three months, it was cool, fresh, sweet nectar. It wasn't just indoors, either, 'cause I took a bus ride with open windows. Is the airport near enough to the city to compare?

Of course the prairie air was even better, but never mind.

After seeing a video earlier of two men in a giant squid and a teddy bear costume, respectively, making it on a beach, I have officially seen everything.

@v Ahhh, it was Heathrow.
Shows how much I know.

[Dr. Bath]

London air isn't too bad (and there's hardly any smog). The plane trees and parks in the centre help quite a lot. It's far better than lots of other cities I've been to, like New York, Bombay and Beijing. The air there is pretty nasty.

It depends which airport you were using. Most of them (except City airport) are pretty far out of town anyway. Heathrow is miles away.

[DraPrime]

Heathrow is really well organized for an airport of its size. Other large airports (JFK in New York comes to mind) are always late, and in general a mess.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Isn't Heathrow the busiest (and largest maybe?) airport in the world? Makes good sense for it to be very well organised.

And I'm dreading tomorrow. I'm meeting Best Friend after getting the results and we're going in town for consolation/celebration. But when I get home I'll be pounced on by the family.
Dad's even going to pull into a layby and phone home at eight to find out my results.
Families are by far the worst when it comes to results. And they'll all be phoning up or coming down to visit in the next two days.

[Kaelaroth]

London rocks! 'tis a city of despair, and delight, witchery, and woe, hilarity, and hypocrisy, a city of love, and light, diversity, and equality. We rock!

On a sidenote, my family've stopped usign Heathrow altogether. It may be big, but it's not a good airport for non business folk.

[Dr. Bath]

Eep. Exam results. It's the disappointment I hear in my mum's voice I fear most. I can handle the rest I guess. Unless I get an E in anything. Then I'm out on my arse. Less than fun.

Heathrow is pretty big, but there are loads of bigger ones. I think the new one in Beijing (for the Olympics) is the biggest one though. Busiest? I dunno. Maybe Tokyo or something.

[Dihan]

My dad will be phoning from work that morning to ask how I've done... Granted, he is in Spain for the next six weeks or so.

I think my mum will be treating me to lunch tomorrow for either celebrations or commiserations.

[YPU]

All you guys are rather anxious aren’t you? Go on relax, you guys are the heart of the playground, we cant have you having a nervous breakdown.
But seriously, good luck to all of you. tough I doubt you need it, your all really smart peeps from what I can tell.

[Dihan]

I guess we'll find out tomorrow whether we are or not. I wonder if UCAS will publish the results early online...

[CurlyKitGirl]

No.
I think it depends on the college. Mine won't until about the same time they release the papers.

Now, in response to YPU: all Brits receiving results get to have a nervous breakdown until at least elevn tomorrow morning. And then after that either hysterically happy jubilations or commiserations time.

[Exachix]

Koorly, wow, that's late to be paniking.

We get our results (we think) between 9 and 10!

G'luck to y'all getting them =D.

G'luck to those who need results to get into uni. G'luck to all you AS people.

Me? Not nervous at all. Why get worried about something out of your control?

[DraPrime]

Just wait for when the time to find out SAT scores comes around. That's when us Americans will be freaking out.

[Calamity]

I'm beginning to get to the stage where I'm about to freak out and my results aren't until next week. :smalleek:

Gotta think of something else, gotta think of something else!

@V: Old'ns, eh? Getting a bit ahead of yourself there. :smalltongue:

[Dihan]

It's because of all of us old'ns panicking :smalltongue:

[Hoggy]

Me? Not nervous at all. Why get worried about something out of your control?

Because it was totally under my control and is something that might just make up for 5 odd years worth of crap?

Not meant in an angry way, just in a way that totally empathises with the worriers.

[The Bushranger]

Isn't Heathrow the busiest (and largest maybe?) airport in the world?
Actually, I'm pretty sure Atlanta has the world's busiest airport.

Either that or its third. Although I think it was first...

[dish]

Atlanta has the most airplane traffic, but Heathrow has the largest number of passengers. Thus both are the world's busiest depending on your definition of 'busy'. From wikipedia here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_busiest_airport).

Mah screen, it streaches!

Ne'er mind.

Well, you managed to infect me. I had a dream about going in to collect my results. And my schooling was finished a long time ago.

[Conrad Poohs]

On a sidenote, my family've stopped usign Heathrow altogether. It may be big, but it's not a good airport for non business folk.

I'm So Worried (Monty Python song written by Terry Jones):
I'm so worried about what's hapenin' today, in the middle east, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about the fashions today, I don't think they're good for your feet
And I'm so worried about the shows on TV that sometimes they want to repeat

I'm so worried about what's happenin' today, you know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow
I'm so worried about my hair falling out and the state of the world today
And I'm so worried about bein' so full of doubt about everything, anyway

I'm so worried about modern technology
I'm so worried about all the things that they dump in the sea
I'm so worried about it, worried about it, worried, worried, worried

I'm so worried about everything that can go wrong
I'm so worried about whether people like this song
I'm so worried about this very next verse, it isn't the best that I've got
And I'm so worried about whether I should go on, or whether I should just stop...

I'm worried about whether I ought to have stopped
And I'm worried about, it's the sort of thing I ought to know
And I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow...

I'm so worried about whether I should have stopped then
I'm so worried that I'm driving everyone 'round the bend
I'm worried about the baggage retrieval system they've got at Heathrow.

[Serpentine]

Heh... That's just what I kept thinking of :smallbiggrin:

[Conrad Poohs]

Yes, I find the two are somewhat inseparable, not helped by the fact that I have it on record. Yes, that's right world, tremble in awe at my ownership of not one, but two record players!!! With an auto-retracting Expo and an auto-repeat, multi-speed, stacker HMV, I am unstoppable!! ...I just have to come up with some dastardly plan I can use them in which people might try to stop and in doing so prove the accuracy of my prior utterance. ...damn, foiled again.
It's high time I washed some oak trees...

[randman22222]

Just wait for when the time to find out SAT scores comes around. That's when us Americans will be freaking out.

You kidding me? I couldn't wait for that day, because I knew I'd have an awesome score! :smallbiggrin: Actually, it was only mediocre. 1980 on the 2400 scale... :smallfrown:


*clears throat*

Ahem.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Oh God I did not sleep well last night.

So why do you keep screaming? :smallconfused:



And has anyone else noticed how the smilies at the right are never in the same order? :smallconfused:

EDIT: My brother is watching Star Wars. I watched a couple scenes. I wanna be a jedi again. :smallconfused::smalltongue:
EDIT2: Actually no.

[Quincunx]

On a week when the temperature never got above 20 degrees, and a month where 25 was unseen, I am suffering a three-pronged bug attack. The aphids have returned, undaunted by the soap wash, the chili-and-oil spray, or the manual squishings, to their beloved pair of potted plants. (Sorry, Serpentine, suggestions failed.) The parsley stems are plated with soft blue-gray beetles. A singular but steady trickle of wasps likes to enter this room, yet I can see no wasp nest on that side of the house; I make allowances for being short and unable to see the top side of the jutting bit of this story.

I flaunted my SAT score enough the last time the topic arose.

[randman22222]

Argh! What is this ice cream? It's like razor sharp ice crytals with flavouring! :smallyuk:

Eating ice cream is supposed to be fun...

EDIT: But I'm happy again now. Because I watched a Monty Python skit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODshB09FQ8w). :smallbiggrin:

[DraPrime]

Well ladybugs eat aphids Quincunx. You can just train an army of those and your plants should be fine.

[Destro_Yersul]

You should put pineapple on it. Or cherries. Or caramel sauce. But not all three. That would be weird. :smallwink:

Alternatively, you could just let it sit out for a bit.

[Cristo Meyers]

OK, that's the last time I talk about dreams on this board...

I had one of my more just plain wierd ones, and I think it was Playground related...

I think it was based on Playground Squares over in Structured...except Atreyu the Masked Llama was either a set of Wii-chucks or my passcard for work encased in some kind of Star Trek-esque glass dome and asked questions in the voice of Otto from the Simpsons...

...and these are my pleasant dreams.

Anyway, topics at hand:

aphids-no idea, ladybugs eat 'em, but that's all I know

ice cream-it's been too bloody long since I've had any...I should remedy that.

[randman22222]

Yeah I tried again for GitP-related dreams, and failed. Got some crappy Eve dreams... Not particularly interesting, though the scenery was beautiful.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Last night I dreamed there were a bunch of dishes in the sink and I couldn't wash them...

Anyone up for drawing a rabbid-muffin?

[Calamity]

I wish I had nice dreams, I just don't have any dreams at all really. Or I forget them if I do.

Also, Tragic_Comedian: That avatar is 120x120, sorry but it's bugging me. :smalltongue:

[Jibar]

If you go check the Results thread, you'll see that I can shut up now.
Jibar happy. :smallsmile:

The artist's impression is very much on the ball though. :smallamused:
We just didn't have any plungers.

DAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

[Dihan]

I had a strange dream last night. I can't remember what it was but I remember it being strange.

[Cristo Meyers]

My dreams are usually either exceedingly wierd like last night's, or exceedingly unpleasant (not the nightmare fashion...just, really unpleasant to remember or think about).

[DraPrime]

I get a lot of nightmares. Something like 80% of my dreams are unpleasant. The other 20% of my dreams range from the weird to the x rated.

[randman22222]

I rarely get x-rated dreams. And frankly, I like it that way. My dreams are more interesting this way.

[Tempest Fennac]

I never have x-rated dreams. I don't seem to be having any at all that I can remember lately, though.

[Tragic_Comedian]

I get a lot of nightmares. Something like 80% of my dreams are unpleasant. The other 20% of my dreams range from the weird to the x rated.

Mine are weird AND x rated.

[Calamity]

I never have x-rated dreams. My dreams are about as interesting as blank piece of paper when I have them too.

[Thufir]

I don't remember having any dreams about x-rated subjects. Usually they're just weird and confusing, or realistic (Which is confusing because it takes me a while to remember they didn't actually happen).

[Cristo Meyers]

My x-rated ones are usually the most unpleasant ones.

I've only had one true nightmare (of the wake up and have to convince yourself that it wasn't real variety) that I can remember, and that was only about a year or two ago.

[Tempest Fennac]

If you don't mind me asking, what happened i that dream, Cristo? I haven't had a dream like that for years.

[Cristo Meyers]

The nightmare? Psh, the nightmare wasn't even original, I don't know why it had such an effect.

Driving, alone, nighttime. Have a near-miss with a train. Screech to a stop, look in the rearview mirror and there was something in the back seat looking back at me that wasn't there before. Then I woke up.

No idea why it scared me so much. The best I can tell, what was looking back from the backseat was the Scissorman sprite from the very first Clock Tower game.

[DraPrime]

The scariest nightmares are always the ones that seem real. I had one where I was strapped down to a table in a hospital, and they were going to harvest all my organs, using no anesthetic. I was so convinced that it was real, that when I woke up I just started laughing because I was so happy that it wasn't really happening to me.

[Gem Flower]

Nightmares always seem disturbingly real to me...:smalleek:

I was so convinced that it was real, that when I woke up I just started laughing because I was so happy that it wasn't really happening to me.

I know that feeling... Had that a couple weeks ago. The horrid part is that I fell asleep again... And the nightmare resumed. :smalleek:

[Tragic_Comedian]

My worst nightmares were of this guy:
http://images.wikia.com/muppet/images/3/30/Uncledeadly02.jpg

[bosssmiley]

Dreams? Nightmares? They all feel claustrophobic to me. It's almost like I'm seeing things from underwater, everything's distorted and strangely remote. It's creepy. :smalleek:

[Cristo Meyers]

That's the thing, it didn't seem real at all. It was almost cartoonish. I mean, a sprite from the Super Nintendo era of gaming lurking in the backseat of my car? It's almost laughable. The dream I had last night seemed more real, and it had a talking passcard!

Like I said: either surreal or disturbing. But I'll take surreal any day.

[DraPrime]

I know that feeling... Had that a couple weeks ago. The horrid part is that I fell asleep again... And the nightmare resumed. :smalleek:

I was lucky enough to wake up when the sun was already up, so I didn't feel like going back to sleep.

[TwoBitWriter]

Well, the startle factor is enough to wake you up.

Worse nightmare I ever had was where I accidentally pushed my sister off a cliff to her death. Then my Dad showed up and started yelling at me about it, I was just crying and yelling "it was an accident." I woke up screaming "It was an accident!"

Only time I ever woke up yelling something. I was probably around 13-14 at the time, so it was around 10 years ago. The remembrance of the dream still gives me chills...

Yeah... My brother and I were sharing a hotel room once, and just bolted upright in the middle of the night, and screamed,

"BUT I HAVE THE HAMMER!"

He fell right back asleep. Still don't know what that was about. :smallconfused:

[Tempest Fennac]

Those dreams sound bad. They all seem real to me (especially since they are often painful).

[Cristo Meyers]

See, I never seem to be the one getting hurt, injured, vivisected, whathaveyou. I'm usually the one doing the hurting.

[Ego Slayer]

Last night I dreamt that one of the three puppies I have right now was standing right on the edge of this apparently endless, black pit. And I was acrophobic, or something (which I'm not). Scared as hell of whatever that hole was...

'Course I know why I dreamt that. Last night I watched something on youtube 'bout some insane-high point/cliff in Norway where you're like... miles up. And said puppy walked out to the road and stood right in the middle of it and wasn't coming when we were trying to call her back. :smallsigh:

[Tempest Fennac]

That sounds worrying, ES. I don't usually get hurt in dreams, but it is inevitable when the dreams involve killing zombies or space fighters.

[TwoBitWriter]

That sounds worrying, ES. I don't usually get hurt in dreams, but it is inevitable when the dreams involve killing zombies or space fighters.

See those dreams are my favorite!

Anyone ever achieved a lucid dreaming state? Where you are aware of the dream and can control it?

I saved the world from a Zombie Apocalypse during one such lucid session..

Another non-lucid dream involved me as a World War II special operative, parachuting into a Nuclear-Zombie infested Hiroshima after the bomb... That was a fun one too...

Edit: Sounds like a cool story idea... I'm taking it if it hasn't already been copywritten...

[Cristo Meyers]

I got control of the dream once, by accident...

...started flying and ran right into the side of the library at my old college :smallbiggrin:

[Ego Slayer]

I'd only recently had a couple violent dreams, all in one week. And I hadn't had any that I could remember since I was 11 or so, until then. The only time I've actually been hurt (not hurt being inevitable like when a guy in full plate and an axe breaks into your house and intends to kill you :smallconfused:) was when I was probably 10-11, when I was shot in the head by some guy. In my backyard. Except it didn't hurt, or bleed... or just felt warm. Was weird.

Ooh, I had a dream with zombies once. I was in a library with friends. And there were zombies. And then something about that I rolled a 20 on my attack roll. Heheh...

[Tempest Fennac]

I enjoy those dreams too (one advantage to the Starfox-like ones is that I get to be a humanoid animal during them. I think I was a hyena in one, but I think I was a fennec fox in another one, which makes sense considering how my username makes me sound like a Starfox character). The only time I had a lucid dream ended after a few seconds when the dream sort of disintigrated for some reason when I realised it was a dream.

[DraPrime]

I had control over my dream the one time I realized that I was dreaming during a dream. I was falling, and I just thought "this is a dream so I'm not really falling" and I just halted in midair. I've never been able to do anything like that again. I just seem to be unable to realize that what I'm seeing is in my mind when I'm dreaming.

[Cristo Meyers]

I'm honestly kinda afraid of what might happen if I get control of another dream. There are some scary people wandering around my subconscious.

Although, being able to recreate scenes from my book would be pretty cool...

...well, as long as I'm not one of the characters, that is.

[randman22222]

Sometimes I get dreams where I'm playing my guitar, or some other instrument. The weird thing is, when I wake up, and remember my dream, it'll be that my fingers were playing out a song I know, but in my dream, I heard a different one. :smallconfused:

[nothingclever]

My dreams are really boring yet kind of weird in that they often come true.
Usually I'll dream of someone telling me something with a certain tone and specific words that I eventually hear in real life.
Like I dream about someone complaining about something and that person ends up saying exactly what I dreamt he/she would eventually.

[Destro_Yersul]

My dreams work like that xkcd strip on dreaming. By the time I make it downstairs I've mostly forgotten them. Really annoys me, because I know that they were somehow amazing. Generally the most I can remember after a few minutes is one or two still images.

I do recall this one where I was wearing striped pants in a field and I could fly, but then the stripes fell off and I couldn't fly anymore. Which sucked cause there were a couple big dogs barking at me about something. But that dream was years ago... I guess my memory is just odd.

[Ego Slayer]

Grr. I was trying to buy something off ebay and there was some crap about having paypal and ebay accounts linked before I was allowed to bid and the stupid thing ended before I was able to link the damn things. GRRRRRR. :smallfurious:

[Cristo Meyers]

I can't remember the last time I bought something off of e-bay.

I think it was Starship Troopers minis...

...'course, Mongoose drove that game into the ground like a tent peg.

Great, Ego, now you've got me growling too...

[Midnight Son]

I dreamt about a carnivorous plant last night. It was eating all the mice.

[Groundhog]

Better than it eating you, right?
I once had a very strange dream, in which I was sitting in math class when suddenly a wolf popped up holding a shotgun and shot and killed the whole class, me included.

[Jibar]

I dreamt about a carnivorous plant last night. It was eating all the mice.

Feed me Seymour!

I love that film. :smallbiggrin:
O'course, find me any film with a good sing a long or two and I'll love it.
*huggles Moulin Rouge, Nightmare Before Christmas and Donnie Darko*

[Player_Zero]

I don't often dream because I'm usually rather tired when I go to bed and don't pause to think about it in the morning.

Also, are there any playgrounders in the Warwick area that I should know about? Why? Because I'm going to Warwick! Woo! :smalltongue:

[TwoBitWriter]

Warwick Davis? The dwarf actor from Willow,Star Wars, and the Leprechaun series? :smallamused:

[DraPrime]

Errrr, in which country is this Warwick?

[Castaras]

People don't get hurt in their dreams? :smallconfused: Is that even possible?

Nearly all of my dreams end up with an injury, or death, or some such problem.

I had one a few nights ago, for instance, where I was wandering with some army in an icey place, the army vanished except for a school fiend friend. Walked into a building, got told that this was the resting place of an evil warlock, looked into the well, and got killed by a Might and Magic spell (Toxic Cloud :smalltongue:).

Although it wasn't normal...it was the "Thief" death, where you can still see people walking around you. Hear them also. It was almost like I'd fainted rather than died...:smallconfused:

Eh. I don't look into dreams much for meaning. They're amusing to think about in the morning, but otherwise don't do much for me other than make sleep an interesting experience.

@^ England, I presume.

My sister's boyfriend is up there.
Wait, you got into Warwick?
Just clicked on me how good that place is with maths. Very nice my friend.

[Uncle Festy]

My sister's boyfriend is up there.
Wait, you got into Warwick?
Just clicked on me how good that place is with maths. Very nice my friend.

Ok, now I'm confused. Is Warwick a place, a school, or both? And if it's both, why are you implying that in this case, it's the latter?
Aaaaugh! So confused!

[Player_Zero]

Warwick is a place in the UK and it also refers to the University of Warwick.

I would point you to my location below my avatar, but apparently I'm in "tackleford".

Yes. England. It is a university most known for its mathematics and is one of the foremost in the UK. It is also the only one of two universities which require STEP exams for admissions.

Not only does getting into it save me a whole lot of trouble on account of it being the only university I visited, it is also very neat. :smalltongue:

This calls for a celebratory sentence!

And there we have it! Hurrah!

[Phase]

I havn't had a dream in sooooooo looooong! I really want one, even if it were about headcrabs...

Especially if it were about headcrabs!

[DraPrime]

Ah, I see. I thought that it's possible that Warwick is over here in New England since tons of towns over here have English names (hence the name New England).

[CurlyKitGirl]

America steals place names the way English steal vocabulary. Cornwall is a town somewhere in the Northern States of the US. Even though it's a county here.

And I am very happy today. I even bought (and gave) Best Friend her b-day pressie. And it was part celebratory considering the epic grades she got. Ironically though, the one where she got straight As in her units is the one she's dropping next year.
:smallconfused:

Oh, her b-day pressie was Good Omens. She's been wanting it for months.

[Tempest Fennac]

I've had some dreams where I've been either chatting on IM or posting in HALO recently as well, but I don't think I've ever had any general GitP dreams (it would be neat to see the town which Dallas mentioned a while back, though).

And I am very happy today. I even bought (and gave) Best Friend her b-day pressie. And it was part celebratory considering the epic grades she got. Ironically though, the one where she got straight As in her units is the one she's dropping next year.
:smallconfused:

Oh, her b-day pressie was Good Omens. She's been wanting it for months.

Good Omens is fantastic. I only read it recently (yesterday) I'd never read it before. I don't know why. I may have to read some of Mr. Gaiman's books now.

We don't steal the names Curly. It's the British who came here 300 years ago that gave New England all its town names.

QI told me that the naming conditions for places on Mars are a bit odd. Something like them having to be towns with under 50,000 people in them.

Also, I seem to recall a dream in which I was meeting YPU's friends who apparently like One Piece. :smalltongue:

...Too much AIM chat...

AIM chat would be a much duller place if it wasn't for your zaniness, Zero. :smalltongue:

Also, I'm not surpirsed about the whole Mars thing. Imagine there being a place called London, Manchester or New York on Mars?

[DraPrime]

Wait, a place in Mars could be named after my town? Cool. I demand that the first Mars colony be called Lexington! (no, not Lexington in Kentucky, LEXINGTON (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexington,_Massachusetts))

On the subject of dreams, I remembered mine from last night... Weird how I forgot it up until now! :smalltongue:

Anywho, I think I was crawling through some 8-bit sewer looking for Sweeney Todd, for whatever reason (maybe the You thread and Mister Saturnine :P). I spent the whole time hiding and crawling away from these sprite-like spiders and rats.

I then heard someone walking down (yes, walking... The ceiling was too low for me to even crouch!) the sewer laughing. So naturally, I saved the dream as if it were a video game. Just as a shadow crept around the corner, I woke up.

[Calamity]

Hmm, maybe you'll 'load the game' again when you go to sleep again tonight, Dihan? :smalltongue:

[Dihan]

Noooo!

Must... Not... Sleep!

I don't wanna be a pie! :smalleek:

Wut?

[Dr. Bath]

I had a dream.

It involved a post-disaster London (unspecified) in which gangs roamed the streets and everything had pretty much reverted to steam power, or was running on the scarce remaining oil. Some gangs were trying to control the railways/tube system so had these massive trains with crains on the back to steal other trains and pneumatic legs so they could transfer from one track to the other. And all the major train station (King's Cross, Waterloo, etc.) Had been taken over and turned into bases with anti train cannons and manufacturing lines and stuff. And all sorts of other stuff. And it was a cool setting for something, like a story or comic if I could write at all or get off my lazy arse long enough to find a fitting style to draw it with.

[CurlyKitGirl]

O'course, find me any film with a good sing a long or two and I'll love it.
*huggles . . . Nightmare Before Christmas . . . *

:smallbiggrin:
Love that film so much I have two avvies based on it. And I know all the songs off by heart. And most of the dialogue.
And want some Nightmare Before Christmas goodies for Christmas - perhaps they'll get the hint this time.

Yes, Good Omens is an amazing book.
Er, you have read Mr. Pratchett's books, right?
… right?!?

[Dihan]

:confused:
Wut?

Sweeney Todd. He was a barber who murdered people with cut throat razors, minced them up, made them into meat pies, and had Mrs Lovett sell them.

So it's steampunk meets dystopia? Awesomesauce.

Awesome awesome musical.

Is it weird that I either don't dream or at least never remember my dreams? :smallconfused:I know most people seem to remember them and have them frequently.

Ah, right. I knew about most of that apart from the pie part. :smalltongue:

Heh, now I'm imagining you as a pie. Tasty pie :P
Very strange mind I have. Yeah, I'm rather weird.

Probably not. What I've noticed is that you see when something's there, but not when it's not. In other words, you notice people talking about their dreams, but you don't notice when people aren't talking about their dreams because they don't remember them. So there's probably a lot of people who don't dream a lot and/or don't remember them, but they're just not vocal of the fact – myself being one of them.

[Ego Slayer]

Mm... people pie.
I like people.
I also like pie.
It's fantastic.

I've never actually seen Burton's Sweeney Todd, or Nightmare... hell, the only Burton movies I have seen I didn't know he'd done them. I'm just failtastic like that. I think I need to find and watch the above two... The quirky goth thing is great anyway, so... hrm.

[TwoBitWriter]

When it comes to Tim Burton, I like his films, but I hate that art-school student thing that he attempts to cultivate. Listen, I'm a weird guy, but I don't try to express that by outward appearance and interview mannerisms.

He makes good movies, but he is getting old. The Goth thing tends to die out when you hit your twenties. Its all well and good in high school, I guess, but really, it has to end sometime.

I'm more of a Kevin Smith kinda person, talk about a clash of personality! :smalltongue:

Of course I've read Mr. Pratchett's books. I don't think I'd be allowed on the internet otherwise. Hmm, perhaps I'll pick up Gaiman book at work tomorrow. Damn libraries making me get things out.

[Zeful]

Who's Pratchett?

Who's Pratchett?

*Hears the sound of floodgates opening*

This is going to be bad I think...
