Amidus Drexel's Alliterative and Awe-Accentuating Anvil of Random Banter CLXXXVI

[Mercenary Pen]

On the subject of the future of Platypi, adding a fez is too boring... and doesn't fit with the stereotype of Australia being horrifyingly fatal to everything- I suggest Platypyromaniacs.

[DraPrime]

Everything is improved once it wears a fez. However, it would be even better to get the platypus an ushanka, preferably one with a red star on it. The only way to make Australian wildlife more dangerous is to make them Soviet.

edit: In other news, it is now finals week. The time to write ten pages of take home exams is at hand. I must brace myself for the battle.

[MoonCat]

Heyy guys. Massive reasearch paper due tomrrow, haven't started it yet. When I'm done, I will do that talking.

I'm starting to get shipped in real life. I hope you eartheorms are hapy.

Also, I'm not entirely cohernet.

Oh, and I pissed off my mother explanations will be forthwith,..

Meaning alter. possibler a very long forthwith. It's a painful research pape.

Byee!

Try not to over work yourself Moony! And I really hope things start shorting themselves out. Every week it seems like another batch of stuff happens.

[Mynxae]

Lala, did you give me your sickness? I've been sick for the past nearly two days and it keeps getting worse. Boyfie also has it. It really sucks.

[Dimonite]

The science could be adapted for other lifeforms, however we would need to find a way to render the platypussies unvenemous. At scale they would pose a serious risk otherwise.

Also, I have issued a general anathema upon the mousish race, and forbid its use upon them.

Shall my people contact your people about sharing my research?

Ah yes, I had forgotten your bitter war with rodentkind. Perhaps, rather than a size increase, your genetic manipulators could realize my dream of dragon-dogs?

ION: just had a two-hour long debate with a girl about how many goats she was worth. I may be in love.

[Kneenibble]

*wants a hug...*

THATS what they look like. I was trying to place the gait of the first green one, and its very Jurrasic Park velociraptor. Which, come to think of it, had fabulous feathers...

I should be able to, I hope. School work is still enjoying giving me pains. Is Myxies available, or is he busy... *giggle immaturely*

Yes that's what I thought too. I remember my dad, when my childhood budgie would run across a flat surface with his little legs flinging out to the sides, would always muse on his dinosaur-like gait.

Mink's-eye is, as you see below, engaged. The slapper. However I am ready for a couple of games right now. Are you?

Poor Sheep, poor poor Sheep... *hugs*

Busy shopping with Ele and his Mum actually. But tonight I will be 'busy' with the boyfie.

They're terrifying. If they actually get to be large, I'll need to make something to counter them with. Like a flamethrower.

Flamethrower? ;____; Why you have to say dat? You shall be the first foe that I conquer with my mighty steed.

And yet, dragons have magical chromosomes that allow them to hybridize with basically any species. You do not need my science, you only need to get a dragon and your favourite kind of dog stinko enough together to make a mess.

WIFE HER, I WILL HELP YOU WITH THE CAPRICIOUS DOWRY

[HalfTangible]

Lala, did you give me your sickness? I've been sick for the past nearly two days and it keeps getting worse. Boyfie also has it. It really sucks.

Didn't you break up with him and throw a party when he went to jail?

[Mynxae]

How else would I kill such a horrendous beast of destruction? Maybe an ICBM?

You really need to read RB more HT. This is James, new boyfie. That other one was Blake, evil **** that he is. Party was fun though.

Sorry, I don't have long range sickness teleportation powers, so I couldn't have.

[DraPrime]

Do it in the manliest way possible, with a sword! Leap onto the beast and do battle with it in the air while holding on for your life!

Wait, there WAS a party?! I was kidding!!

...

Yeah, I don't read RB as often as my posting would suggest - in fact I generally miss like the first 10-15 pages of a new thread because I forget to subscribe to the new one when it's linked.

[Qwertystop]

And on that note comes a vaguely-relevant request for help.
EDIT: Relevant to the post before the one before mine. Ninjas.
I managed to get my dad to give one of the Zelda games a good try. I'd narrowed it down to the 3D ones, and not SS because it just doesn't feel like an entry point to the franchise.

He said "the newest" as a tiebreaker because "newer is usually better", which would mean TP. On the other hand, OoT was an entry point for so many people it just feels right.

Help?

[Heliomance]

Is that what they're calling it these days?

I haven't played Zelda apart from the original, when Nintendo re-released a bunch on SNES games for GBA. If I was going to start (as I plan to one day) I would start with Ocarina of Time.

.... But a T Rex sized Budgie would be awesome. And able to defeat Cthulhu, probably.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I try to not follow relationships. ai sound silliful, but I find the stress of school more than enough, and since my life has more than 99 problems WITHOUT dating, it seems redundant.

(Oh, and I can SC2 NOW Knee. Hour after you replied to me, and all. Cuz dinners and food were had. )

Is that what they're calling it these days?

Hur hur hur.

[Kneenibble]

Not only that, but its feathers would be so soft to snuggle.

I am online, full of dal, and ready to go. I have time for a game or two.

I'll be working on a trebuchet sometime in the next few months...

Ocarina of Time is awesome, and I've heard things about Twilight Princess being confusing (I doubt these stories, but I present them to you anyway).

So that you don't do what I did and get stuck on the first dungeon: When you get stuck, and the answer is fire.

ION: I feel as if I am becoming more irritable. Hopefully, after I finish all the things I've been procrastinating, that will go away.

[Coidzor]

On the subject of Star Trek, well, I'll just leave this here.

Good luck Moonikins. Hope you don't have to deal with too many more down-to-the-wire research papers. Those are the absolute pits.

Dragonprime: Thank you for reminding me, I need to get more pictures of myself in my Ushanka. Now if only I were about 3 inches taller and 80 pounds heavier. ...and not so attached to my luscious locks....

Ocarina of Time, definitely. Twilight Princess is more of a sequelly sort of game to me.

Twelve Gods I feel like such a hipster whenever I realize that I'm a generation ahead of all of my peers when it comes to video game exposure. x,x My first final fantasy was on the Super Nintendo, whereas even the older women I've dated it was always 7. Actually, I have to admit, I've played all of them but 7 and the MMORPGER mostly because all of the women I've had to deal with in my personal life and the sheer amount of yaoi TMI I had to deal with from them about FF7.

Oh my.

I wish I could get online with you guys but my laptop at Ele's place is... Well, yeah.

I'll be working on a trebuchet sometime in the next few months...

Excellent. Shall I prepare the flaming doo-doo?

Wait, there WAS a party?! I was kidding!!

Party wasn't my idea. I blame my roommate and his fond love of alcohol.

[Coidzor]

Bad! Bad Mynxae! No pie for you! No matter how nice they are, you don't leave the hardware!

Dodo, I should think.

That reminds me. It's Bourbon Season. Protip: It's always Bourbon Season.

You'll get my trebuchet dirty. Also, I need a material that can reliably hold 1,000lbs of weight. Wood didn't work too well last time.

[DraPrime]

Ushankas are great, are they not? I have one made of sheepskin that is so warm that I can usually wear it along with a t shirt outside during the winter. It's like a big Russian bear is hugging my head, only it's made out of sheep.

[Mynxae]

Bad! Bad Mynxae! No pie for you! No matter how nice they are, you don't leave the hardware!

I don't know what you're talking about.

Dodo, I should think.

Possibly...

Pffft. It's always Whiskey Season. Get with the program!

Perhaps we should get 1,000lbs of flaming budgies instead? But like, the little ones? So then they shall fear our great power. (note to mods - not meaning to break animal cruelty rule. Just having some fun <3)

I don't think budgies (even ones that were on fire) would make a very good counterweight. Hrm... titanium's a bit expensive... I might just go with steel.

Why not carbon nanotubes? Double the strength of titanium but twice as cheap.

You feel free to ship them here. I also doubt their cheapness.

Plus, the throwing arm needs to have some weight on it, and carbon nanotubes are pretty light.

Lead or concrete would be good. Both are fairly cheap, and quite heavy. Alternatively, hire a bunch of sumo wrestlers to act as a counterweight.

We actually have the counterweights (two 500lb metal... weights), it's the throwing arm that we need to get. The last trebuchet had a wooden throwing arm, and it was structurally pretty weak, so we need to make it out of something stronger.

I don't know if lead would work well for the throwing arm or not... lead's kind of soft.

Wouldn't steel work fine? Or is that not enough?
