SMEE's Random Banter #97 of gender bending and closet bursting

[DraPrime]

How in slightly badger infested heaven are you younger than me?

I was talking to dallas dakota.

[Cobra_Ikari]

'89 as well. Hmm.

As for parents...my mom is awful, but my dad's pretty good at the arcade games that were around when he was a kid. He's far better than I am at Galaga, for example.

[Ceska]

´91 here.
*thinks he´s so young*

I honestly thought you were younger. <.<

'89. Not good at games. My father plays more than me most of the time. And he's very busy, which means he plays about two hours per week.

[Haruki-kun]

Whoa.... you're the same age as me, CSK? I honestly thought you were older....

My parents don't play videogames at all. When I was younger my dad played Super Mario World with me, but that was it.

[InaVegt]

I'm from the grandest of all years, the magnificent nineteen ninety.

Also, there just was a wasp queen in my room, now it's dead.

[Dragonrider]

I am a ninety-one.....

what an odd year to be born...

[Ceska]

Whoa.... you're the same age as me, CSK? I honestly thought you were older....

Why?
Is nobody reading profiles any more?

Also, there just was a wasp queen in my room, now it's dead.

Poor wasp.

*sings quietly to self* "It was in 1991, an era of darkness started to come" I wish I knew more lyrics of the song still, or would find the CD. Bah.

[Dihan]

I'm from '90, my mum can't play games at all and my dad is useless at anything that require good reactions. Though he is quite good at Wii Sports.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I've never played a computer or console game. Except AoE II; I've played about a couple hundred hours on it since I was first introduced to it when I was nine/ten.

Yesterday at college I saw a real-life catgirl.
It was . . . rather intimidating. She had a black ribbon tail and black fluffy ears. And was in a red dress with cat-giirl typical tutu skirt dress thing. It was all red. As was her hair. Oh, but black tights.
An analogy: once I saw an advert or picture for this show called Tokyo Mew Mew.
It was like that. But less magic fighty whatever powers.

[dish]

I'm much older than all of you (except for Midnight Son) - but a lady should never tell anyone her age anyway. (Or something like that...)

Why is it that just walking to the metro station and back again this morning in a new pair of shoes has managed to give me massive throbbing blisters that'll last for weeks?

[InaVegt]

I'm much older than all of you (except for Midnight Son) - but a lady should never tell anyone her age anyway. (Or something like that...)

I've only ever heard that you shouldn't ASK a lady her age.

[dish]

Well, it's something like that, isn't it?

You probably also shouldn't believe a lady when she tells you her age. (You should, of course, act shocked and declare that she looks a minimum of ten years younger.)

[Mordokai]

The big bump on my forehead agrees with you

I've seen a few 'catgirls' here and there, can't say I was ever intimidated by them though. :P Now Vampire LARPers I can see being intimidating. I've known a few and they were all completely crazy.

[CurlyKitGirl]

It was unexpected.
College. On Friday. In a place where anime is not exactly favoured.

Sure it's a queen? It could have just been one of the large varieties of wasp or wasp-like insect. However, it'd make sense, since no other type of wasp should be alive yet, in my latitudes anyways. In the great land of 'Somewhere" from whence you hail it could be prime wasp season.

Ina is from the Netherlands. Despite a bit colder than Austria, it's a rather good time for wasps already.

I've only ever heard that you shouldn't ASK a lady her age.

I never really got that. Why shouldn't women be able to talk about their age more freely? Is being older that bad for people? I really don't get the fuss about wrinkles etc anyway. I like how they look, especially those coming from laughing.

You probably also shouldn't believe a lady when she tells you her age. (You should, of course, act shocked and declare that she looks a minimum of ten years younger.)

"Gosh, I can't believe you're that old, you look like a twelve year old!"

[Lord Blace]

She'll be here in less than 15 minutes. I am very NERVOUS right now!!!
Is there anything else i need to do before she arrives? THINK! No, don't get jumbled up, brain, please!? Ahhhhhh!

Um....who she?

(Have I missed something here, or have you just not given us any context?)

We don't get non-queen wasps of that size, she was one and a half inch long, at the least. An inch long wasp is large by our standards.

@CSK: It isn't wasp season here yet, will most likely come soon though.

[Cobra_Ikari]

Thallis left for his pseudo-date with his cutie-crush-girl. *nods*

...I think it'll go well.

I got better!

You may have a point about those who LARP exclusively Vampire. Vampire/tabletop players? Maladjusted in the usual nerdy ways.
Vampire/boffers? Could be trusted with (padded) weaponry.
Vampire/TrekBB? The most normal of the lot. . .*whimper*
Vampire/-- +? Had a conspiracy theorist's ability to collect evidence and ignore conclusions.

+Board rules have persuaded me to merge two categories here.

[EDIT: I'm now twice the age I was when I chose an appointment at Glamour Shots for my birthday present. For those unfamiliar with the idea, it was a chain of mall-based shops where makeup artists would tart you up, tease your hair, wrap you in sequined scraps, and then sell you sets of photographs of yourself looking glamorous.

EDIT AGAIN: In the spring a young maid's fancy turns to thoughts of exhibitionism--and I do have a spring birthday. Needles me still to think I would have been less of a fool that year, born in a different season.]

Bah, just an inch? That's, like, a stunted wasp for Russia. We get them there easily 3 inches at times, but those ones aren't wasps per se.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Wasps are evil, vile and scary.
Plus Mum may be allergic to them so she gets all panicky at the sight of one and rarely goes outside during summer because they stalk her.

Bah. You Russians don't have killer bees.

I'm allergic (mildly) to wasps, but as the sting gets worse every time, I'm not too keen on getting near the things. That said, I'm waaaay less skittish of them than most of the girls I know, even though none of THEM are allergic. They're all, "AAAA! A BEE! RUN AWAY!" and I'm like "uhh...it's just a bee. It's not gonna hurt you unless you scare it."

I'm not using "wasp" and "bee" interchangably. I was just recalling a specific incident where it was a bee.

[Thufir]

You probably also shouldn't believe a lady when she tells you her age. (You should, of course, act shocked and declare that she looks a minimum of ten years younger.)

That's not a hard and fast rule. Though actually she might be amused if I told her she looked 9 years old. Particularly if she was tipsy at the time.

I just discovered that I remain logical and analytic when slightly inebriated. I was all carefully figuring out what effect the alcohol was having on me ("OK, so actually it feels like my head is dizzy but the rest of my body's fine, that's weird." *Swigs from bottle* "Woah... no there's nothing actually wrong with my vision, I just feel like there is. Highly confusing.")

[Zakama]

For a long time, I had never been stung. Then, I was stung two days in a row. What are the chances I wonder...

[Recaiden]

Poor wasp.

Exactly. I was born in '92 and consider myself to be pretty good at games.

[Flickerdart]

Bah. You Russians don't have killer bees.

And you don't have killer bears and killer corrupt government officials and police force to deal with. Me, I'd rather have the bees.
