Not-So-Mith'd Opportunity: Random Banter # 222

[Qwertystop]

I've been working on learning Common Lisp lately but I can't quite work out how to make that into a pun.

Do you play guitar? You could always try learning Mithirlou.

[Dimonite]

Merci! I came up with "Mith'd opportunity" as I assumed the thread was already built. When saw that it wasn't, I threw it together, figuring that if threads merged, it would at least inspire a "Definitely Mith'd Opportunity"

As it is, that'd be a Mithnomer.

There seems to be something aMith with the humour in this chat all of a sudden.

I can't quite put my finger on what it could be, though...

It's certainly a Mithtery.

Sorry, I woke up late, did I mith anything important?

Oh will, I'll catch up suet lynch I'm famithed.

[Fyraltari]

Also, I hate sports...

Aaaah, the legendary "Also I hate sports" post*, time to see what all the fuss is about... Wait, what do you mean, 2017-07-27? I missed that by a matter of days!? Are you kidding me?



Try saying "sports post" twenty times very fast, I dare you, I double-dare you!

Only in the state of Mithithippi.

I work in a law office and can concur. Would you like a consultation with regards to this?

I most definitely let out a desperate shout of "I'm drowniii-iiii-iiing" while getting out of the water, reaching me to my waist, ickly tickled by sticks fallen from the birch trees hanging over the pond.

Hehehe, sounds like silly fun!

Yeah, I have two swimming spots about 300m and 600m bird's distance, but walking takes about 10-15 minutes because you have to wiggle around the steep hill to get down. I'd die if my closest shore was 5km away. Though, well, up until I was 10 our closest lake was 10ish km away (but we still went there at least weekly) and from 10 to 14 5km away, but I spent most of my summers at my grandparents or at my godparents' summer cottage where water was right next to us. From 14 til 20, my closest beach was 500m away and the other about 1,5km... they were ok, but, well. They were city lakes. So they were somewhat dirty. So, sometimes me and my friends just biked 10km to the national park to enjoy clean water.

Yeah, I wish I did live closer to swimmable water...

In the past 7 days I got to enjoy two nights of thunder joy! The first one the lightning hit somewhat close, I'd say between 2-6km. The flashes sure were bright, and kind of made it hard to fall asleep when suddenly your eyes open to the bright light. The second time was last night or the one before - it was this lovely mellow rumble in the distance, clouds fluffy and grey, air heavy added with some amazing summer rain. The air smelt so nice afterwards, with all the lush scents from the plants around me.

Ooo, that all sounds very nice! We aren't suffering the same miserable drought as we did last summer, but I could still use some more rain just for the sheer cosiness of it.

ION: Me and my boyfriend went exploring, and realised that from the back of my apartment starts a small but extremely lush bit of forest. It has an amazing amount of paths going all around, and we definitely didn't have time to go through it all since the rain started. Had to run home!

Mmm, lush vegetation! Another of those things I miss living right in the centre of the city. Heh, I'm not really made for the city life...

I think on Sunday night, or perhaps Monday, we went to a closed mining site near where I lived. I had heard about it, locals saying it has a really nice view. Well, it being very close to the lake, I thought that you could see water from there, right? Oh, NOPE! A huge fenced area, barbed wire a the top of some parts... looking down at least 40 metres. Plus the really creepy hole that definitely went down way deeper. It was astonishing, me and boyfriend were in awe. Tried to take some pics, but they really don't give credit to how deep and... just, deep and vast it was. Definitely gotta go there again. I'll try to get yous all some pics to see!

Old mine shafts and pit mines can be pretty awe inspiring. We visited an abandoned pit mine near Ancestral Farm last summer, with a lake formed at the bottom of it. It was heavily contaminated, so there was no life whatsoever in it, and the water was incredibly clear (if somewhat turquoise) as a consequence. No swimming though, for very obvious reasons.

I assume that the 1st post will soon become cluttered with in jokes and hyperlinks to be a nice maze.

Nah, people clear out the old in-joke when they add their own. You didn't think in-jokes in the OP was a new thing, did you?

These jokes are punishable by law.

I like puns when they're spontaneous or otherwise unexpected. Or just right on the spot. When people start saying random nonsense just in order to make a pun, I lose interest. But making "punish" puns? That should be criminal!

[Peelee]

It's the punultimate sin?

I think we're all just Mithunderstood.

[Caerulea]

Y'all are Mithpronouncing all these words. Was there not a rule about proper English, or have I Mithunderstood?

Swing and a mith on that one Caerulea, you got ninja'd.

[SZbNAhL]

Right, that's it, no more Mithter Nice SZbNAhL. If we allow the Mithellaneous Banter thread to be overrrun with wordplay, I'll be incredibly Mithed. Surely those were the last three permutations?

Not to make you mitherable, but I think you missed a few.

This reminds me of a time we had like, three or four pages worth of stuff like this in every comment. It's so long ago no it feels like it's descended into mith and legend.

Ah, that explains how they went so much faster back then. Because since the time I got here, there's been... a dozen threads. (2014? Huh, coulda sworn it was more recent than that when I joined. Time flies.)

Very impressive that you can fit multiple pages into a comment, though.

[Peelee]

2014? Huh, coulda sworn it was more recent than that when I joined. Time flies.

Jeez, tell me about it.

[Mystic Muse]

You whippersnappers and talking about how time flies. Ten years I been here!

[LaZodiac]

... eight years.

what the **** it really doesn't feel that long.

Dammit, that's the sort of pun I was trying to get in the first place!

As for accruing in-jokes, I'm aware that they get cleared out over time. I just like the idea of the entire rules list becoming hyperlinked.

ION, going out for midnight food really screws up the schedule for the next day.

[FinnLassie]

It honestly feels like yesterday when randman22222 told me about Order of the Stick and the forums. It was wild. I remember him just telling me to go to the Random Banter thread and start talking. And talking about OLD in-jokes - randman made the good old Banana manifesto post way before I joined (iirc it was in RB). But I love it. So much. I love his humour and divine hatred of bananas. He's one of my best friends IRL anyways. Another friend of mine from the uni RPG society's here as well, both of these dudes inactive as of now, though.

Me slowly taking Amidus' corner, though... ah, how time flies. And the good ol' drawings. I sometimes just go and look at them. Teddy's jam jar throne, Kneebs preening my hair, shoving my middle finger at Amidus' face... ah, classics.


IONYSRN: I sometimes make me and Zooz in the Sims and have each other as roommates. Because she's an awesome friend and love her a lot.

D'aw, I'm dying that's so nice. You're a powerfully good friend who I love too!

[DataNinja]

All this stuff is the bright side of the internet. Gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside.

And also some jealousy, because dang it I want friendships like that.

[Bartmanhomer]

Oh cool a new friendly banter. Yesterday I went to my job annual picnic at Randall Island and I have a great time. It took me a long time to get there because I took the train and walk there. So anyway I eat a lot of food and we play game to get to know the staff members and play the raffle. I random shuffle and choose one card to give one of the staff to announce the winner and there was prizes such as gift cards, Yankees baseball tickets and an Ipad. Of course I didn't want because I really want those Yankees tickets but I have fun.

That sounds awesome! Pretty cool work place that they have an annual picnic.

[Bartmanhomer]

I'm just a little worried that we'll get buried under puns like a Mithraeum.

I actually found out the day before the picnic when someone was having a conversation about the picnic. I overheard their conversation apparently.

so, what? send us to the punatentery? try to cure us with punacillin??
