I feel so badass right now, I'm lounging about in a velvet robe drinking coffee with cardamom and eating medjool dates. All I need is a hookah and a harem.

@v

I think a fez would also be pretty nice.

[Nameless]

How can you not? It's so clear!

Logic is futile. o_o

@Knee: Pics or it didn't happen.

In other news, I fell asleep on the train today listening to Saxon. I woke up with the top of my jacket covered in saliver.
It was rather embarrassing.

EDIT:

I think a fez would also be pretty nice.

I haz a fez I bought in Jerusalem.
It's epic.

I don't understand what confuses you. From your pictures, it's simply quite clear that you are a player. How is this illogical?

Ch'yeah, 'cos my clothes are the latest in player fashion.

[DraPrime]

I'm glad that we finally agree.

I'm glad that we finally agree.

I'm not bothered, I'm just happy I got tickets to see this in March.

Cheap amusement: attribute motives both military and non to the AI opponents in Risk.

"Houston's the most well-defended city in North America--"
"Must be where the military contractors have gone."
"--nope, now it's St. Louis."
"Ah! Boeing! They took over McDonnell-Douglas, you know."

Everything is more fun with a narrative!

Quin plays online risk? She should come play with us itp-riskers.
Fight for Candyland! Fight for Hyboria(conan-land)! Fight for the world!

[Quincunx]

Couldn't hurt, a quick game, provided I don't get sunk into this little mental game of a poem not my business in the first place.

*****

the time is now
when the mortal are meant to fall
when, shouting, they engage the Danish banner
when eagles' food is on the shrieking earth

Bleh. For a properly poetic translation, I keep wanting to jam in additional active verbs. Too many passive versions of 'to be' to make a good strong verse IMO.

the time is now
when the mortal are meant to fall
when banners, over shouting, slash the skies
when eagles' food lies on the shrieking earth

Damnit,you just reminded me that the American Megadeth/Slayer tour got postponed.

[Exeson]

You're clothes are awesome ^_^

So is your hair. Talking of which I got my shaved again today.

[Nameless]

Bahaha! I made you remember something bad about something good. And this time, hopefully making Rabbit Jealous too. I'm so evil...

Reminds me of a discussion me and some friends had about Slayer while listening to Alestorm actually. We all came to the conclusion that although they're good, they're one of the most over-rated band in the history of ever. Even my die-hard Slayer fan friend agreed.

D: NUUUUUUUUUUUU! The hair must floooooww.

Also, thanks. :3

[Alteran]

Thank you. Immediately after reading that I imagined your avatar in that exact situation.

Cheered me right up, and then made me laugh a little more on top of that

Thank you, for making me imagine that too.

[Exeson]

D: NUUUUUUUUUUUU! The hair must floooooww.

Also, thanks. :3

I have to gut it for school, so I was like, meh, might as well do it properly. With my Chav beaters and leather trenchcoat I now look like a drug dealer. (again)

Isn't it a wonderful thing to see when little things lead to a whole new career

Rebel. REBBBEEEELLLLLLL!
Nameless is upset now. .-.

Who said anything about new career?

Awwww, *hugandcuddle* Whats wrong lovely?

What follows are ill-informed guesses. I never studied this stuff. I do have a knack for circumlocution around nouns.

. . .

So, hawks are royal, but eagles are wild. Still, "eagle food" wasn't adjacent by accident: eagle food, carrion, corpses, men-fallen-in-battle. "Earth outcry" doesn't ring quite as strongly, because I don't know what personification the earth had here. You do.

Also, the second line is backwards. "Fated to" links with "to fall"; the 'to's overlap. More "they who are fey are doomed to fall" than what you have at the moment. Forgive the word of fantasy used in its dialectical form and the tautology.

Thanks [and to Kneen to for PM assistance], that makes a lot of sense; and you both came up with similar ideas.
As I type this response I see Quin did some reworking of the poetic translation, and it looks really nice. I'll probably mix my working with both of yours.

*praises Kneen and Quin to the highest heavens*

Gah! Didn't I look waiflike in comparison to you enough already?

[Kneenibble]

*praises Kneen and Quin to the highest heavens*

Quite happy to help, Lady. *bows and tips fez*

(Where would a man buy a fez these days? I would totally wear one.)
(Pictures forthcoming. ...maaaybe. It is a lady's housecoat.)

[Dallas-Dakota]

See, I was right in praising Kneen and Quin into the heavens. ^^

[Lyesmith]

Urghh, if only I felt so good. I did a swimarathon today.

I incapacatated a teammate (think I concussed him) on my first lap, and later vomited. And then went back to swimming.

I am badass, but also really friggin' tired!

[Nameless]

Awwww, *hugandcuddle* Whats wrong lovely?

You're hair, that's what. .-.

[Kneenibble]

Sure sure, trundle us both off into a contained space. Apotheosis as incarceration.

Holy smokes, it's the Al-Zeera Fal! And he's all wet! *flings self at in a Hobbes tackle*

[Exeson]

Well I have already had a 'chat' with the head of six form about my attitude etc. so I kinda have to tow the school line.... well, when they are looking.

[KuReshtin]

DragonPrime and Nameless: You're so metal!

Hel-lo

Nice to see you too. Now, what was this about sitting about in a bathrobe? It is rather good fun, i'm lounging with my new lappy and being nice and calm, reciting one of the verses to Invictus to myself, commiting it to memory, like.


I demand pictures, sir! also YESS PORTAL JUST FINISHED DOWNLOADING

ZIRA!
*launches a glomp hug attack*
I haven't seen you in ages.

And yes, doing a swimathon makes you awesome.

I make my victorious return. For full details, i did make an annoyed wee postlet in the depression thread - but I shall try to be back more, and for longer.

ALSO.

Playgrounders. There is an amazing TV show. It is called "Being Human" and it's wonderful.
You know what else is wonderful? Tim Minchin. I'm watching him now.

I know you know that I know it and I know it's wonderful and awesome, but I don't know if the playgrounders know that I also know. It's good. Well. I hope it is! The first season was, and the second arises tomorrow.
