Teddy's Twofold Tempestuous and Tranquil Random Banter #202

[DraPrime]

I have dropped hot greese on my feet.

I just read that as "I dropped hot geese on my feet." I think I like my version better.

The question is, what were you doing with multiple geese in your hands? Perhaps you are from the planet where people juggle geese.

[Cuthalion]

@cuthalion
i have two questons, first, how do i pronounce your name, i assume it'd be cu-thali-on, but cutha-lion might be possible

second, when do people go onto the playground chat? (in your sig)

Coo-thaw-lee-own. More or less.

Generally in the evenings in PST. Mornings in Australia.

I have dropped hot greese on my feet. I don't cook barefoot anymore. Not to mention, the occasion that a knife got knocked off the counter and landed near my foot. Could have been bad. (oh wait, I just mentioned it...

I needed help with coloring my tiger and I asked for Amidus' advice (as well as character advice for RBRPG). I need to gather more art friends to art with on skype. I get much more done. I finally ended up skyping someone a little later and they helped me get the color right, and the tiger came out awesome.

DO EEEET. I'd wear it!

Ouch.

Ah, very well.

I will. What should the lettering be?

I did also. I... cracked up majorly.

[Amidus Drexel]

See, I'm usually just chilling out in my room in boxers. If I hear anyone come in the front that doesn't sound like my housemate, I get dressed but otherwise, meh.

*wishes he could see Ami disrobed and blushes at the thought*

My clothing... depends, really. Normally I'll bother to put on pants, but only after I actually get up... If I don't have to be anywhere, I don't usually get out of bed until I feel like eating something, and that might not be until well into the afternoon; until then, I'm just lying around in my boxers.

*snicker*

I even mess around in my kitchen shirtless. Not the best idea ever if you're frying (or baking, for that matter), but I have no lasting scars

Indeed. I nearly always fry bacon shirtless.

Y
It amuses me that your wording implies you are glad that your accustomed disrobedness will no longer draw odd looks, rather that you can now go about disrobed.

Motorboating, perhaps? Mmm... islandy things. Mangoes and warm sand between the toes and such.

Tidying can be a relaxing pastime, satisfying as both process and result.

Whee! *nests in eye socket, chirping softly*

Verily, the benefits of not having other people in the house is the quiet and the nekkidness (or near-nekkidness, as is more comfortable in the winter).

Pfthahaha
Well, this is in Massachusetts, so I don't think it'll be quite that warm. You're welcome to go for that manner of island anyway, though.

Eh... it's okay. I'm only okay with it if I'm tidying my own things. The second I have to move someone else's ****, then it's immediately stressful and frustrating.

I HUNGER!
Man, I love Sinistar... I need to get an emulator so I can play the game again, or I need to find the old Williams Arcade set on that one computer that had Sinistar, Joust, Defender, and a few other things... That was fun. God, I love Joust.

@Amidus! I managed to finish the tiger despite all the color hang ups! Thanks for your help last night.

No problem - I'm glad I could help. And that you could understand what I was trying to describe...

I needed help with coloring my tiger and I asked for Amidus' advice (as well as character advice for RBRPG). I need to gather more art friends to art with on skype. I get much more done.

Yeessssss..... chaaaaaracteeeeer....

God dammit I'm glad I'm seeing my gentleman friend this evening, because all this talk of guys lying around in their underwear is starting to mist up my temples.

It makes sense to fry bacon shirtless though, because the little splashes of grease won't leave a mark on your skin -- but they might stain a shirt. Skin can heal; cloth can not.

Eh... it's okay. I'm only okay with it if I'm tidying my own things. The second I have to move someone else's ****, then it's immediately stressful and frustrating.

Quite. A third benefit to living alone, I say.

Oh, I didn't even know it was from a game -- I just think it looks cool.

Cooking clothesless?
Well I never wear shoes indoors if I can help it, so I'm eternally besocked or barefoot, and I tend to cook in t-shirts because, as our redoubtable budgie says: 'skin can heal, cloth can not'. And sometimes shorts in the summer.
That's about the limit of my skin baring whilst cooking - or whilst people are up in general - because the kitchens in places I've lived in are very busy indeed. Plus at uni I never locked my room's door meaning my friends could come at visit with only a cursory knock, so being clothed at all times was relatively important.

And I've just noticed that over the past while my posts in RB have been rather sporadic - I pop in, complain and pop out. Even though my Big Complaint kept never getting posted because brain what is brain

My Big Complaint:
End of November: am told by endocrinologist that I can finally have the medication I've been after for about two years, and that he'll write the letter to my doctor giving permission for it to be prescribed, so it should be fine to get by the beginning of next week. Additionally, place an online prescription refill.
The Next Monday: go to doctor for quick check up, to get officially prescribed the medication (it needs face to face discussion because it has some Conditions) only to find out that the letter was never sent. She makes note to have receptionists chase up the specialist to get my letter. Phone up either tomorrow or Monday to see if it's in the system.
On way back home I finally remember to pick up prescription after not picking it up for six days. The prescription was not there. Am told to call up the surgery to make sure it'll be filled out tomorrow so that the pharmacy can rush my prescription.
Tuesday: phone up surgery literally two minutes after it opened, verify that my online request made it through. They promise it will be filled out before the lunch, so any time after that I can pick it up at the pharmacy. Phone up surgery around one(ish) - letter is not in system, have to wait until next Monday.
I arrive at pharmacy at five(ish), having indulged in Pessimism. Prescription was not there, and they'd literally just come back from picking up the latest prescriptions from the surgery. So they call up the surgery and it gets faxed over so I can pick up my regular stuff.
Friday - Sunday: Christmas meetup.
Monday: call up surgery, find out that letter made it into system and am now prescribed the Long Awaited Meds. Prescription is placed and will be pick-upable on Wednesday. Awesome.
Wednesday: Pessism is Very High as I go to pick up the LAM. It's there. And for some reason they also gave me my full usual order too even though I made sure to mention to the receptionist that I needed nothing else.

NHS what are you and why is it always me who suffers from this.

Kneenibble

hello

how are you question mark

[Mutant Sheep]

Fixed it for you. Now they're actual opposites, and historically accurate.

I wouldn't say opposites as much as alternates. We just haven't come up with enough choices to make it seem that way yet.

I'm sure I'd enjoy you walking around in just boxers...

I need to get a new hot housemate who walks around shirtless/in boxers.. Then I'd have two people to ogle all day in Summer.

See, you can cook naked while frying as long as you wear an apron. I've done it before (home alone of course) while frying up some bacon and I was fine.

I don't like just boxers, honestly. I either want a loose button shirt with it, nothing, or a base tshirt/form of real pants combo.

I am an equal opportunity oogler, so I'd appreciate both genders. *gotta make friends feel awkward in their home, or you aren't do it right*

That must have been some tasty bacon. *wants bacon now*

Jesus. You make me feel like I wasted my youth. Ah well, I've been making up for it. I hope you have fun with a capital F.

Heeeeey! We could have split his legs between us! ;___;

Ovis!!! *bothers and hustles, after this fashion:*

Spoiler

Show

Ahh, Starcraft... I have Heart of the Swarm now, and I will work my last day of work until January. Perhaps a game be in our future which you will probably win because I have grown as rusty as an old well pump.

Making up, eh? Growth spurts are fun!

... I am likely just reading this very wrongly, but

That cat is so nice! I would be rolling around from the aggressive birdie, personally, until i tired and just lay on the floor as it claimed me as a nest, but very kind fluffy, pacificisticly passive cat.

*comforts the cooing budgie with promises of playing Terran, also gets on starcraft*

And I love leg of lamb. ;___; Greedy. Now I have to go hungry, and look all puffed-out and mopey and sad.

Aww! Look at the cute gallopy horse starting to take over Europe! Let me brush him and feed him an apple!

I should be more careful, you're right, but when I get drunk and try to summon Ovis there just isn't any hope of that.

Noooo, don't be sad Knee! *gives amateur massage*

*Gives Ele a bunch of apples and rants about Starcraft*

Knee can do whatever Knee wants. Especially drunk Knee. I don't think I can say no to somber Knee, drunk Knee could likely command me with but words.

ION: I HAD THIS POST WRITTEN TWO HOURS AGO. AUGH. I FORGOT TO POOOOST. ;_;

[enderlord99]

My Big Complaint:
-snip-

...How frequently does this happen? In America, something vaguely similar happens every single time you ever need to got to any medical clinic at all for any reason at all.

What happens here is that you will be told to arrive at least an hour early. The receptionist will wait to call you in until at least three hours after the appointed time (usually significantly more) The time spent in the waiting room is small, however, when compared to the time you need to spend at work to pay for it, no matter how well-paying that job is otherwise. Forcing people to sit in a waiting room must be expensive, based on how much they charge you without doing much else.

[Rain Dragon]

I do! Also, coooking barefoot is not a good idea. Just so you folks know.

My house slippers are not much protection either. I usually don't drop things, but there was this one time a pan somehow flipped off of the stove onto my feet.

I blame the cat.

Interesting, I always thought ſ was a phenomenon of trying to save space in early printing. You're right though, it came from handwriting first.

One of my friends tried to tell me this after I mentioned German double 's' once. However, as my handwriting is a rather odd blend of modern cursive and older handwriting my own 's's are written similarly to those.

Like this but a lot messier, the capitals except for capital 'S' and well, generally everything about my handwriting is worse than proper copperplate but that's how I write my 's's.

I should make little banners.

I support this idea.

Cooking clothesless?
Well I never wear shoes indoors if I can help it, so I'm eternally besocked or barefoot.

One of my pet peeves is not so much people wearing shoes indoors but people wearing muddied shoes indoors. It's not very nice to trek dirt all through the house for barefoot people to wander in.

Plus at uni I never locked my room's door meaning my friends could come at visit with only a cursory knock, so being clothed at all times was relatively important.

I do feel I have to at least wear a shirt and jeans. Though I don't button up the shirt nine times of ten at I can answer the door in a timely fashion.

So cooking without clothes is not really something I am experienced with...

*comforts the cooing budgie with promises of playing Terran, also gets on starcraft*

Starcraft II is fun, though I am very bad at it. I play Zerg.

[Coidzor]

I read Tonsloths.

I always cook barefoot....

I should make little banners.

I thought it was like ossoliths or ossiloths. Maybe Osgiliaths.

How do you avoid getting your fuzzy wuzzy toes burnt?

Yes, yes you should.

Wait, what are you picturing with banners?

[enderlord99]

Wait, what are you picturing with banners?

Those moderately-sized, horizontal boxes people put in their signatures. I know what I want on mine, if you're willing to make one for me:

A flag, hung from the top, with Edward Norton's face on it.

You might want to also include the word "banner" in the banner containing the Banner-banner. Or make it textless, either way.

Posting from work from Mom's computer to say.

I hope you have a better day, Finn.

Even as I work, my hugs go out to you, I hope they can help, even a small amount.

[Mynxae]

You better believe I'm a size queen when it comes to tracts of land. If it doesn't make you wonder how it might fit on the map, I'm not interested.

Oh dear... *eyes light up*

Jesus. You make me feel like I wasted my youth. Ah well, I've been making up for it. I hope you have fun with a capital F.

You're still young though Mr Nibbles.

Heeeeey! We could have split his legs between us! ;___;

Oh? We could have split his legs now?

Mmmmm..... I'm there. We're still several weeks from the worst core of winter and already I have that feeling like I can't ever warm completely up. I only feel warm in the shower or right before getting out of bed. Definitely too cold to be lounging around in the undergarments as I would like, because the floors and wall wax coldness no matter how high I crank the furnace.

I'm sure Zodi has been having it worse though. Although, maybe she has a better heater than you do. I still remember that amusing story she told me about a taxi driver that thought it was negative a million degrees or something for how cold it was..

Ahh, Starcraft... I have Heart of the Swarm now, and I will work my last day of work until January. Perhaps a game be in our future which you will probably win because I have grown as rusty as an old well pump.

Perhaps we three should play a game at some point? I barely play any more but I know how to utilise the new units from HotS into existing strategies.

I read Tonsloths.

*is now imagining Ele having little sloths on his Tonsils*

I just read that as "I dropped hot geese on my feet." I think I like my version better.

So did I.

My clothing... depends, really. Normally I'll bother to put on pants, but only after I actually get up... If I don't have to be anywhere, I don't usually get out of bed until I feel like eating something, and that might not be until well into the afternoon; until then, I'm just lying around in my boxers.

*snicker*

*must install secret camera*

Indeed. I nearly always fry bacon shirtless.

Okay, that's it, I'm gonna go win the lottery, get a private jet and live with you.

Verily, the benefits of not having other people in the house is the quiet and the nekkidness (or near-nekkidness, as is more comfortable in the winter).

Even in winter here I can be comfortable around the house naked... Although that's usually 'cause of either good heating or good insulation to keep warmth inside. But then, winters are tame here. It's summer you have to watch out for here.

I don't like just boxers, honestly. I either want a loose button shirt with it, nothing, or a base tshirt/form of real pants combo.

That just makes me imagine you in boxers with like.. A button-up shirt that's open... *tries not to drool*

I am an equal opportunity oogler, so I'd appreciate both genders. *gotta make friends feel awkward in their home, or you aren't do it right*

Sad thing is, housemate wants a girl to replace ex-housemate. Although I can understand reasoning... Girls tend to be more tidy/clean and less likely to be psychopathic, from personal experience.

That must have been some tasty bacon. *wants bacon now*

Tasty tasty bacon. Not as tasty as you though, little Sheepie.

I'm half waiting for a mod to give me a stern talking to about my flirtatious-ness..



ION: I cooked dinner last night. Took like 2 hours. Was so yum. Mince potato bake. Essentially just savoury mince with a bunch of vegetables in it (spring onions, capsicum and carrot) and then put it in a deep-pan oven dish and put a layer of potato slices on top then cover with cheese, shove in oven for like 20-30 minutes. So good.

[Coidzor]

I don't think that they're all that salty, either.

Oil cools off as it goes down and lands.

Wait, what are you picturing with banners?

Probably just hairy and covered in poisonous lichen.

Still unpleasant when it's gotten on my bare waist, so I vote no on anything lower than that.

I dunno, I just thought if you wanted to try your hand at it you should try your hand at it, I didn't have any specific sorts of banners in mind. I suppose you could take a crack at something Random Banter related or something related to your avatar work?

ION: I've written third of my assignment without even really saying anything yet.

*mutters something incoherent of all these guys on RB going half naked* Man, -erased- is surely my favourite.

Don't die, Finniana.

My understanding is that's common in academia, so I wouldn't be too concerned by that, I think.

...All this talk of people walking around half-naked reminds me that I haven't gotten to do that in ages...

Meanwhile, we're currently in the process of redefining the concept of above average. The last time I saw a weather map, the entirety of Sweden was red, with temperatures way above what you'd consider reasonable to expect. Every day, the prognosis is getting a little warmer, our last heap of snow melted away a pair of days ago, and now I fear for the snow up at our family farm as well, with rain and temperatures up around +5°C promised, when the expected would be at least -5°C to -10°C...

What, pennants?

[MoonCat]

Got my PSAT scores back, I got 99th percentile on Reading, 85th on math, and 86th on writing, which really annoys me. Cumulatively, I'm in the 95th percentile of either the state or the country, not sure which.

Remembered to turn in NHS papers in the nick of time, I should find out if I'm accepted by the 28th- except by then I'll be in California.

ION: Went Christmas shopping today! I have walked blisters into my feet. Really.

[enderlord99]

What, pennants?

Now that I'm back home I can say what I would of said if I was here today.

A bit different.

That kind of archaic Banner doesn't really... translate well to digital media though. You're more limited to a form which, at its worst and most recognizable form is represented by banner ads.

The first post he made on the subject had nothing to do with the site, as far as I'm aware. It merely said "I'm going to make banners!"

...something along those lines, at least.

Based on the prior context of "I'll be cheering for you," I would say that:

we should ask Cuth to explain what he meant himself, rather than just guessing.
