Random Banter #Rawhide knows it's 199

[Rockphed]

No, I do that all the time. My latest idea is chipmunk-bots.

ION: I thought I posted this here last night, but APPARENTLY NOT so:
I believe I've told you all about the time last year a squirrel attacked me. This incident has caused me to be wary of squirrels (and the SQUIRREL MAFIA which is a totally real thing and not all in my head). Anyway, yesterday as I was walking to the bus stop a squirrel made eye contact with me. I held the eye contact, as is my wont, but squirrels are very good at not blinking and eventually I turned away. Then I proceeded to the bus stop, where I was just in time to see the bus pull away. STUPID SQUIRREL MADE ME MISS MY BUS.

The Squirrel Mob would not be pleased with your assertion of their existence, if they existed. They do not. You will take an all expenses paid vacation to lake Lao Gai if your persist in your assertion of existence of the squirrel mafia.

Sorry about that, folks. This plane isn't built like the ones they gave us in the RAF. That sound was the engine misfiring, I'd say... many times. When I tell you to brace, do so.

STOP LYING DOWN ON THE JOB FINN! YOU ARE GOING TO FIRE THAT PLANE BACK UP AND TAKE IT AROUND FOR ANOTHER PASS, or so help me, NEXT FLIGHT'S REFRESHMENT WILL BE YOUR LIVER!

Also, only winners get funerals at camp No-Fun-At-All! Go back and show physics who's boss!

I slightly ruined a song in The Mikado this rehearsal! Apparently I have some sort of issue with Pitti-Sing's shoes.

A DRAGON IS NOT A LIZARD. And full-grown Dragon-dogs are actually very intelligent. It's just that when they're puppies, they don't quite get that other things aren't fireproof.

Wait a minute... how did you know about that plan?

Ok, fine. Birds aren't generally all that smart, though there are exceptions such as crows and/or ravens, the odd parrot. Good thing they're cute or they'd never live to adulthood, aye.

No, I do that all the time. My latest idea is chipmunk-bots.

Yep. They're principally based on college campuses in the Continental United States.

Like does tend to recognize like.

I mean, we've all thought about creating ridiculously cute hybrids and using them to further our plans for world domination at some point, right?

...or is that just me?

Depends on if having a ridiculous amount of tentacles counts as a ridiculously cute hybrid or as hentai bait, really.

FYS stands for First Year Seminar. It's something liberal arts colleges are picking up in the states where you have a really small group of freshmen all in one class learning about very specific, and usually fun, topics.

Mine's about nuclear power and atomic weapons in fiction as opposes to real life. I have Watchmen and Astro Boy as required reading.

I need to get my remote control helicopter out of storage and fly it around a couple times. Maybe put a little dart gun on it, but it only has 20 minutes of battery life as it is, so it might not be able to fly with that much extra weight.

[randman22222]

That's not exactly what I'd call an explanation, but okay.

Try this then. More detail.

I wasn't referring to the concept of "planes going too fast is dangerous" thing, I meant more what game you were playing and what not. But it's okay.

I remember seeing it other places and being all disappoint about it, but meh. Its useful and cool, but cannot match me and Coids Silly Namemckins duels.

Well... Its a basket. And then an ti.

What about a flaming Zodi?

He should do more parkour. Is painful.

That phrase can justify so many things.

I saw it as a pokemon that accidentally learned the wrong TM, therefore combustion happened in its brainface.

[Amidus Drexel]

When in doubt, assume MAD SCIENCE! That's what I imagine whenever Teddy says things that I don't understand, anyway.

Telling someone is sexy is one thing. Telling that someone is exuding raw animal sexuality is a whole other ball game. Or maybe I just have an erroneous connotation of one being affected by said raw animal sexuality that's being exuded if one is picking up on and commenting upon it. *shrug*

Well, it's more like mad enginee- Dammit, Teddy beat me to it.

I mean, I'd like to be able to listen to my music loudly and sans-headphones, even if it's on my crappy computer speakers. Practice bass too, which I'd rather not do unplugged (bad for technique).

Well, Zodi is pretty good-looking. Some people just say that more eloquently.

ION: Japanese quiz tomorrow, followed with a katakana quiz on Monday and and Economics exam.

I'm afraid. I'm very afraid.

Good luck, man, and here's hoping you don't need it.

I can agree with this logic most heartily! Beauty or handsomeness or what have you is a universal concept. I'm pretty sure I'm not bi, doesn't stop me from admiring men from time to time. Though I guess that is usually for different reasons than appearance...whatever it still counts!

Also though it is without the quoting, I do wish to say that Kneemes's and AmiDrex's poetry writing is absolutely baffling me, with you both deserve kudos for.

And so ION: Well not much really. Been inspired to try to make a very out there highly interactive adventure for D&D but at the moment in the story I cannot appropriately add it in, so I will have some weeks to brainstorm and prepare for it.

So how is everyone else?

*nod* Nothing wrong with saying someone of [x] gender is attractive. I can certainly acknowledge a good-looking guy when I see one.
Yeah, like that dude in the mirror.

Bah, Kneenibble's poetic eloquence is far superior to mine. He is an accomplished master of the English language, whereas I am merely a musician with an inclination to respond in meter rather than in prose.

*nod* What does it involve? :smallintruiged:

Much better now than I was say, midday Tuesday, or even yesterday.

I don't actually remember the rate... My school's are pretty low, though. I want to say there's a 96% graduation rate over a 6-year period, although I'm not sure if that's the right statistic I'm thinking of...

Yes, but the middle is what I'm more concerned about. Endings aren't too hard.

Well, I did, anyway, but I'm limited by my (in)ability to actually draw.

This is captain randman speaking, letting the passenger know that that sound was the landing gear, which I forgot to retract. In other news, we are on course to arrive in about 45 minutes.

ION: Today is apparently one of those "Things Amidus is worrying about are resolved (or rendered moot) with no input from him whatsoever". Something I had no idea how to set up for my workshop homework was explained in sufficient detail as an example in my lecture today. That's going to make tomorrow and this weekend much easier.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Reading about FinnLassie/Fionnuala's trip in randman's plane from her perspective makes me think it's a kidnapping/hijacking escapade that has gone horribly wrong.
Stabilisers not retracting, blindfolds, slightly unsure pilots, passenger shrieking in terror/adrenaline, pilot posting online while driving and talking about not technically crashing.

Certainly not endearing me to flight.

ION:
I somehow managed to trap my finger between a door and a drawer; 'twas painful and slightly bruising.

The Playground Airways are a perfectly respectable establishment. Just remember to remind your pilot to keep an eye on their airspeed indicator while making their descent.

Well, Zodi is pretty good-looking. Some people just say that more eloquently.

Hey, guys. I got hit by a car today.

That's a helluvan entrance. You're not too hurt, I hope? How'd it happen?

[Kymme]

That's a helluvan entrance. You're not too hurt, I hope? How'd it happen?

I'm... intact, I suppose. I've got a few scrapes, nothing major. My dear bicycle, however, is in tatters. Half the spokes on the front wheel are bent all out of whack, and the fork that holds it in place is snapped in half.

I was riding down the sidewalk when a car turned off the street and into a driveway in front of me. It's Octoberfest in my hometown and the streets are lined with cars, so neither of us saw each other. I slammed into the side of it and fell down to the pavement. The driver got out, apologized profusely, and and offered me a ride home (which I accepted).

I got another ride to the bike shop and it turns out that my Shylock will be out of commission for a week or so while they order parts. So, I guess I'll be walking to school for a while.

Reminds me of how two days ago I was visiting my sister and when I was helping her get all the groceries out of the car (which took three trips), I walked into her clothes line. Bruise on my forehead hurts. A lot.

I'm not bi-curious, but I still call women sexy if needed. One doesn't need to have any sexual or romantic desires over something to say someone's a hot mamacita.

I never said I didn't have the sexual or romantic desires.

suppose. I must just be misrecollecting some things, ah well. I'll just have to have my entire world view shatter to pieces or something.

Telling someone is sexy is one thing. Telling that someone is exuding raw animal sexuality is a whole other ball game. Or maybe I just have an erroneous connotation of one being affected by said raw animal sexuality that's being exuded if one is picking up on and commenting upon it. *shrug*

Well hey, have you seen a picture of Zodi before? Woof!

He could always be bi-cu...

Dammit, Mynx, I was saying that!

Indeed you are, don't let anyone say otherwise. Not that anybody is saying otherwise, but you get my point.

Heh.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Also a subject that require you to read Astro Boy and Watchmen is amazing. You better read The World's Strongest Robot Arc. And then read Pluto, a redo of that arc from the guy who did 20th Century Boys and Monster (so a bloody genius).

I wish, but there's not time for that. We also have serious reading. I'm currently reading a book of poetry called Plume. It's about Hanford and Richland and I don't like it.

Huh, I have never heard of such a class. Sounds interesting though at least, and gotta love that required reading.

For sure!

So jelly.

College, eh?

Oh geez so much. Just take it a bit at a time, and think "I got this." Because you do.

Good luck, man, and here's hoping you don't need it.

Yes quite so. Gender does not always factor into it. So sure, go ahead and admire yourself if that's what floats your boat. Though truthfully I haven't yet seen a guy I find sexually attractive, I can admire someone who is handsome or really stands out.

But you still do grandly. Like that poem there. Do you spend much time thinking these up? It takes a long time for me to even think of writing a small poem, much less these great works.

What, the interesting adventure? Not sure yet, haven't worked out the full details other than the PC's working in some way to stop the dark cult from acquiring something important, but I know I will make at least one or two interesting engaging challenges, where I hope to make and use fun props and settings.

I am glad you are doing better! Yay for having something of a break!

Heh maybe strictly, but only if I was in either a bad or lazy mood. Otherwise I am just too nice. And thank you for the compliment. I actually do see these as some of my best work. My other stuff doesn't really compare to them, but I am working on improving.

Heh.

I have no clue what she looks like, and I am somewhat curious based on how you describe her. Still, it is not like me to inquire how people online look, and especially not like me to comment on their sex appeal, so I shall take your word for it, and hope very much that Zodi does not find my way of discussing this to be rude, because I am really striving to be polite.

Oh you Mynx, just keep being bold.

Well, I mean, it does in a sense, but not how we mean here, no.

Er... yeah, these have pretty much all been off the top of my head. If I took the time and put a bit more effort into it, I might be somewhat satisfied with my writing, but... eh. I've never really thought of myself as a great writer. I've been complimented on my writing once or twice, but... eh. Chalk it up to me being overly critical and largely unimpressed with my own work, I suppose. /Amidus is bad at accepting compliments
