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

[MoonCat]

I have so many things I want to respond to. And part of me is urging myself to switch to my one and only pony avvie just to freak LaLa.

But arghlblarghl cream puffs are good and the Egyptians had 3-valve speculas and male catheters and I see all the little bone fragments wandering around on my brain having a party and they it's like a black holes into the detists chair sucks them away.

...

Not sure where I was going with that. Woohoo, medical history of Ancient Egypt!

Have any of y'all read the Hippopotamus Marsh?

[AsteriskAmp]

Join us!

The corruption of this trend is widespread, I must start writing 95 reasons against!

I don't have a pony avatar though!

RESIST! Humanity (or youkai-ity) is perfectly acceptable; join Die Resistenz and lack one voluntarily!

[Mynxae]

That won't happen. The people there specifically look for requests to make avatars. Just post what you want, and see if anyone would like to do it. You're not bothering them, you're giving them a chance to do something that they enjoy.

In other news, it seems that I have gotten quite soft. While working out in the seminary's weight room, I found that my arms started aching from overhead pressing a mere 45 lb. I gotta get down there to exercise more.

Do you even lift bro?

[LaZodiac]

That can change. But not today as I'm busy. Bother me about it tomorrow.

I'll think about it. I may not use it, but it'd be interesting to have around.

Cream puffs ARE good! I could eat a whole box of 20 without evne thinking about it.

One of these days you're gonna have to tell me all you know about Egypt and stuff. Might be cool to get the DND campaign in a pyramid some day~

Never heard of it.

[DraPrime]

Do you even lift bro?

Not for a looooooooooooong time. Two and a half years of seminary made that hard to do consistently. Besides the occasional burpees my exercise has unfortunately been limited. Ah well, with any luck I'll be able to keep up the habit through Christmas break and into the next semester.

And this is why your wizards in DND have 8 strength. Too busy not working out. Life imitates art! Or art imitates life, either or.

Couldn't they just imbue some robes with strength or something?

Yha, for the most part they could.

[AsteriskAmp]

Clerics however don't, they get enough BAB (and don't even need it thanks to Divine Might) and with the war domain they can and frequently are even better than martial classes at melee.

Heck; a cleric of Mystra, the goddess of magic, can trash most martial classes with a lance and buffing himself up and no martial proficiency whatsoever.

Does this mean that I am a wizard? Cool.

Aren't steroids illegal?

seminary's weight room

I have no investment in the topic, but I have to say that that phrase gave me more amusement than it rightly should have.

[DraPrime]

Surprisingly enough, a lot of seminaries have them. I suppose it's not an unusual thing in a consistently all male environment, and it saves us the trouble of having to go somewhere else to work out.

[Blue Ghost]

Yup, I'm too busy studying for finals to work out.

Speaking of which, I have my math and physics finals tomorrow! Wish me luck!

If waves are involved:

May the be with you.

Good luck! I'm fortunate enough to have a reading day tomorrow, but it will be spent writing an eight page take home essay exam.

I... hope there won't be too much on waves.

I'll take qvB, thank you very much.

Makes sense. It's mostly like a male university residence after all, isn't it? We certainly had a gym in ours.

Am I the only one who failed the easiest Maths in High School and is afraid of stuff like that? (It's force though, right? )

[MoonCat]

I swear to gods, I will answer every single thing that has been said that interested me once I'm done with Thursday. After that, I have essentially nothing big until the trip. And Christmas shopping. Oh god.

Also, my subconcious clearly hates me. I just spent fifteen valuable minutes staring engrossed at an old Where's Waldo book of mine I still have. I never even looked at it for years, and just now, it becomes the most fascinating thing on earth??

WHY

[AsteriskAmp]

I'll take qvB, thank you very much.

I find myself oddly attracted to this equation.

Yes, the first is the Wave Drift Force, the second one is the good old Net Force on an object in vacuum all physics students know and love.

Clearly you really wanted to find Waldo.

[Elemental]

The corruption of this trend is widespread, I must start writing 95 reasons against!

If they are humorous reasons, then I see that being a fun thing to read.
Go forth and put words on paper such that we may be amused by your intellect!

Hopefully, I won't be crazy enough to write up a list of reasons for because that won't turn out anywhere near as good.

I'll think about it. I may not use it, but it'd be interesting to have around.

Indeed. After all, it could be useful at some point in the future.
Anyway... Let me know how your thinking goes and I'll think about things in response.

Does this mean that I am a wizard? Cool.

No... I'd say you'd be some intelligence based cleric variant with less of a focus on martial ability and more on being all smart and knowledgeable.
I'm sure such a class exists, but my brain can't think of it...

Surprisingly enough, a lot of seminaries have them. I suppose it's not an unusual thing in a consistently all male environment, and it saves us the trouble of having to go somewhere else to work out.

Hmm... Could be because one has to do something in one's spare time. And if one has no hobby or interesting books to read, then staying fit is a reasonable method of staving off insanity.
Alternatively, take up embroidery or some other craft. (I suggest metalworking of some form or another. Why, I have no idea.)

I'd congratulate you on knowing that small piece of knowledge, except that it was obvious from the quotation used.

WHY

Well, he is rather tricky to find from time to time. And when one's brain has been taxed by other tasks, those that require almost no thought are a perfect way for it to recuperate.
After all, it doesn't actually take a huge amount of brainpower to find him, merely concentration and a keen eye. The rest of the brain can turn off.


In other news: I have just finished installing Starcraft II and updating it. A long period which I spent reading the new Lemony Snicket that Mynxae gave me today. I finished reading it halfway through and demand more.
Lemony Snicket writes books that are so interesting yet so short. It is clearly a scheme by him to make more money.

[MoonCat]

I find him in like five seconds every time. I was jsut... staring.

[Heliomance]

Ah, Conan. What is better than crushing your enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of their women? [/SIZE])

'ot water, good dentishtry, and shoft lavatory paper.

[Teddy]

So many of my friends do mysterious things.

:smallmysterious:

I forgot to take pictures, however, as I think some of you might enjoy them. Oh well, there are always other ways...

*waves at Teddy gaily and runs away giggling*

*waves and winks back*

That's a good idea. It'll be easier (or at least cheaper) to get a piece of wood the right length, but I don't know if it'll be strong enough. I may have to look for oak boards. I think our problem last time was that the wood we used (I don't remember what was, but it wasn't oak) was weak, even when we reinforced it. Then again, we didn't reinforce it all that much either, so that could have been the issue.

Hrm... I may need to go look at the blueprints.

May I suggest thinner planks and heafty amounts of glue? Laminated wood can, if done right, reach the strenghts of steel, all while being lighter. Given, students armed with rollers won't make industrial quality, but still.

Tough decision. Be accurate in description of Egyptian medical procedure,s sparing no details, and squick out the teacher who I'm terrified of, or gloss over it slightly becuase I know she'll prefer it that way?

Be acurate, but warn the teacher of the squicky details on beforehand. Make it her decision, not yours.

RESIST! Humanity (or youkai-ity) is perfectly acceptable; join Die Resistenz and lack one voluntarily!

Protip, when translating to another language, make sure that the word is a noun before using it as such. Right now, you've said "the resistance-" (and the following word has to be feminine).

May I suggest faux German? Less glaring to those who know it, and it's possible to make it look better in English instead. How about "Der Resistanz"? Not that I'll ever join your cause...

[DraPrime]

No... I'd say you'd be some intelligence based cleric variant with less of a focus on martial ability and more on being all smart and knowledgeable.
I'm sure such a class exists, but my brain can't think of it...

Intriguing. No doubt there will be a nice prestige class to go along with that.

Hmm... Could be because one has to do something in one's spare time. And if one has no hobby or interesting books to read, then staying fit is a reasonable method of staving off insanity.
Alternatively, take up embroidery or some other craft. (I suggest metalworking of some form or another. Why, I have no idea.)

Metalworking, eh? I like the sound of that. My room would be vastly improved by putting an anvil in it.

[Socratov]

'ot water, good dentishtry, and shoft lavatory paper.

I see what you did there

anyway, I picked up where I left with Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (you know, the one that's basically part 2 but a tiny bit different), and I must say it's a great game. It handles reasonably well (at least the parkour part, fighting sucks with deadlocks). and it's one of those very few games I really want to go for the completion... (never have that, most of the time I jsut rush through to the end of the story)...

[MoonCat]

Terry PRatchett quotes and people I wanna talk to and 1:33 in the morning and I'm still 400 words short. And I'm worried I wont be albe to wake up in the moring, it's not that I care about keeping working o nthis.

Dammit, I wish I could work well without being under pressure. Every damn time! I can't even function until the last minute! And then I get an excellent score, which really kills me, because it makes me think how awesome I'd be if I were actually able to devote a whole month to a project instead of 6 and a half hours.

<slap on head>

[Teddy]

Alternatively, take up embroidery or some other craft. (I suggest metalworking of some form or another. Why, I have no idea.)

Metalworking is awesome if you can make it work. I wholeheartedly support this suggestion, and if I actually can make things work myself, I think I may post a tutorial for how to do fine casting (whitecasting, to invent a new term). It's pretty fun, if a bit fruitless at the moment...

[Dimonite]

I already told you, that kind of chimerisation wouldn't end up working out. It's hard enough to combine a dog with a pony, let alone add a dragon on top.

Nooooooooooo.... Not the cute dragonpuppy...

...This is why I said "almost" twice. Because as interesting as the result would be to see, it would likely end up a horrible aberration. And I don't really
want a pony in the first place.

Am I the only one who failed the easiest Maths in High School and is afraid of stuff like that? (It's force though, right? )

I took AP Calc my junior year of high school and got a 5 on the AP test and I'm scared of that equation.
