TaiLiu's Tea-Filled Tome of Random Banter #193

[Amidus Drexel]

For those of you waiting on me writing a campaign log, the first session is done, and depending on when I finish typing the second, will be posted tonight or tomorrow, or later or whenever or something.

Highly promising, I know.

"Amnesia Dust" sounds like a new nickname for our Drixtinguished Amidral to me.

My poor username... WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!?!?!

I should probably keep a list of the things I've been called, but I feel like it's too late to start... I'll have missed a bunch of good ones.

ION: Our family has increased by one; a small black cat. I have dubbed him Prince Edward (after having several other names rejected for various reasons), but it remains to be seen if that name will actually stick. Pictures will be forthcoming as soon as he is caught in one. He's taken a liking to biting my fingers/toes, but seems to be rather friendly.

Amusingly enough, the resident black and white cat is somewhat resentful of Prince Edward's presence, and has taken opportunities to hiss and growl at him. She's somehow terrified of the small cat, though, and all it took was him hissing back once to send her scurrying off to some corner of the house. She'll calm down eventually.

New avatar is lovely, but I can't quite put my mind behind that shield. To start with, why is only half of it glossy to the point of the image being nigh distinguishable, and how exactly is the shield aligned? I mean, it's obviously reflective, but she isn't reflected in it. There's also something about the outline making it look bent and dented...

I'm sorry, but I just spent some time conducting art criticism in the A&C section, and I seem to be stuck in criticism mode for now...

Because only half of it directly receives light; the shield is curved; with a spiking outward in the centre portion; hence the right portion being shaded. She's also mostly behind the shield.

It IS curved; rather than bent. And the denting is probably just the shape of it and the resolution making it seem odd.

I have no idea what series this is. Therefore I ignore your statement. Mwahahah.

Well... it's my favorite anime and I tell everyone to watch it. It's on Hulu for free (although I don't know if what Hulu has available varies by country).

Nay kitty! No! *hisss*

Yes, because cats NEVER hiss at people, while that's totally a normal thing for one human to do to another.

... I currently have a peanut butter season... Must have peanut butter with jam all day erry day.

You also like peanut butter... JUST LIKE A CAT! there is only one final test:
*holds out catnip*

Still don't know who he is, especially because Robert Downy Jr is my Sherlock

In my opinion, the movies are not NEARLY as good as the BBC series.

N-notice anything d-d-different about me today, p-peeps?

Of course! Your avatar now contains a human! Even though you're a kitty!
Also, shinies!

Sleep is for the weak.

What's that? Sleep for a week? CAN DO. *snore*

Party was small and fun. We spent most of our time talking nonsense and playing Super Smash Bros, then went out and played kubb in the park (I managed to give away a victory by accidently throwing our last stick at the enemy team rather than the king after we'd downed the last enemy kubb), and finally went back inside and baked a mud cake which we consumed with ice-cream. An evening well spent, in my opinion.

Nice! I LOVE kubb! Some of my more Scandinavian cousins always bring it when we go camping, and it is SUPER fun.

ION: abridged-to-less-than-one-day-and-therefore-not-really-camping trip today! I got to eat steak and hang out with puppy dogs and it was AWESOME. Also got to hang out with my soon-to-be-second-cousin-by-marriage, who is a pretty cool young lady. She's got a talent for snark, but she's untrained, raw. I must train her to hone her skills.

Basics of kubb: you set up two sets of five blocks (the kubbs) about thirty feet from each other, with a King block in the middle. Decide who goes first. That team (yes, it's a team sport) throws their six batons (total, divided amongst the team members) and tries to knock over their opponent's kubbs. Any kubbs that are knocked over are then thrown onto your opponent's half of the field, then stood on end wherever they landed. These have to be knocked down before you can aim at their original kubbs. Once all of your opponents' kubbs are knocked over then you can aim at the king in the middle. First team to knock over the king wins.

Got my first taste of crying Coalzor today. That was certainly something. Also my parent's oldcat went crazy frenetic in climbing up the tree in their front yard and then stared intently into the bird's nest there for about 5 minutes like he was willing it to contain some kind of treasure.

Also, there's something weird about shaved newfoundlands. I can't quite place it but it seems... off somehow, and not just because you can't really shave their heads/faces...

Eh... I got it on Xbox. Odd game. Good gameplay, really cool, but the plot is just weird where it isn't cheesy or out-of-nowhere. Fidgit's funny though.

I mean seriously, you're actually a double-reincarnation-thing And you don't remember til you're told and then you get all of the memories back?

And the cutscenes...

And everyone's an anthropomorphic animal for some reason.


On another note, just watched The Man From Earth. Odd movie... glad it didn't have more of a budget or they'd have ruined it with enactments and special effects.

Both of these sound like a story in the works, the first on your end, and the second to be elaborated by a neutral third party with a wild imagination.

Battery. First thing that popped into my head.

Well, the first step to dealing with your problem is admitting that you have a problem. We're on the right track.

[AsteriskAmp]

Approximately three people in the whole Friendly Banter subforum have an avatar made by me; not counting myself. Only one of them in the Random Banter.

Don't fret; I don't have one, either. We can be the Augustless Assembly!

You make it seem as if I was some sort of prolific avatar production factory flooding the board while I have been retired for almost a year and made exactly 5 avatars after un-retiring.

And the cutscenes...

And everyone's an anthropomorphic animal for some reason.

My only issue is about the plot is that a few things are REALLY not explained at all. Within the first level it lets you know who the antagonist, and yet every once and a while it refers to the army as 'the king's men.' Despite the fact that the king is NEVER MENTIONED. Why is the antagonist so sovereign to the royalty if they exist?
The memory thing makes sense though. Rule of anime is that amnesia is only cured when it becomes plot relevant.
and I LIKED the cutscenes...
And the anthropomorphic thing was just an art thing. I admit it was very unnecessary though since the only time it was relevant was the one(!) animal joke.
Altogether, I liked it a lot. Cheesiness and all. Especially considering one guy did a vast majority of everything that wasn't testing and voicing.

[AsteriskAmp]

...I just want my assembly to be big.

It's absolutely massive; holding something like thousands of thousands of people... because the non-members which had the fate of having an avatar by me are close to the half hundred; probably less and many (most - almost all) of them switched them out or went away.

You're not a person?

See, this is where it'd be easier to have a character with a LE alignment. I'd just torture it out of the dragon, sell it into slavery, and be on my way with its money and someone else's. ...That wouldn't jive well with the party, though (or indeed, my NG character, who's been trying to keep the thing alive so we can talk to it), so we'll have to do it another way... Bah. LE is the best alignment.

Well, they don't call me Speedasaurus Drex because I'm slow.

Humans are flimsy, though, so they're easier to kill. Blasphemy, coup de grace. Bam.

I'm more elemental than man, aye.

I can neither confirm, nor deny, the rumors and insinuations that one of my ancestors was fathered by a hurricane. I can however confirm that one of my great-aunts was, in fact, a bear.

Well, you know, there's always breaking it and bending it to your will. Err, I mean, "converting it to the path of righteousness."

Now to recall if we've ever actually called you that.

Well, they are made out of balsa wood.

All the time. It's been a long while since I've worn anything else. (even when the weather probably called for more or less clothing...)

Hey, I would wear a hawaiian shirt in the winter, if I had any.

I don't know about you, but I'd gladly abuse power.

There very well might be, although I don't think it's the same person...

The really smart ones disguise themselves as red dragons and breathe fire.

That's my go-to. Unless I feel like playing dress up. Or need to spend extended time in a freezer. Those knives get cold in there without gloves on, I'll tell you what.

Well then, sounds like you have an adventure in order then.

Abuse ALL The Power!

Ah, well.

Ah, yes, the fire dragon of the ice cave.

What? Nah. Bikes sound awesome. I've never heard one that was ear-damaging at all. (granted... I've got a somewhat dulled auditory sense anyways) All the ones I've ridden on were pleasantly loud.

When my teeth hurt from 20 paces, that's too loud.

You don't want to know what happens after that.

It occurs to me, I wonder what an Everlasting Chalk's chalk dust would do to a person.

They die in 30 years of "Chalk Lung."

Weird and unpleasant? Sounds like the worst way to distinguish healthy activities from unhealthy activities. After all... Sleeping in a coffin filled with scorpions is weird and unpleasant...

Bizarre health practices I don't follow, then. Or doing something unpleasant because it's healthy without knowing truly why and believing that it must be healthy because it's unpleasant. *shrugs aggressively*

We'll just have to make sure we shoot you in the right spot.
Alternatively, we can just not worry about making such plans because I rather doubt your extrauniversal counterpart will come bothering us any time soon.

Well, no, not if everything goes according to plan anyway... And since when has the center ever held?

In other news: As I was moving that palm frond that was mocking me with the futility of existence, I discovered that we have another bunch of bananas that has just started its development. However... One of our other bunches appears to have been consumed in its entirety.
Plus, a couple of my Mum's rose bushes are almost taller than me, and the two really tall ones have a whole lot of buds on them. I shall have to provide photographs.

Please do. It sounds wunderbar.

I had to make sure you recognized him, since you took such a shine to him. Tar, eh? Probably best to avoid thinking about that ever again...

He's, like, 17 or 18 too. Surprised he had it in him.

Spending time around my parents. *shudder* It's like they're an old married couple or something.

Not really. Last night they made me burp him when I had no idea what I was doing. I felt like a golden retriever in a lab coat. Today he just started crying because he was done eating and needed to be changed.

You're a dude with a talking sword and you beat the crap out of things. You have amnesia. That's all I know currently.

CHOP-CHOP. Well, gloves don't really count as clothes, do they?

I hope they don't forget the fries this time.

Here's how I see it: They wouldn't have given me power if they didn't want me to use it to my advantage.

Ah, well.

Ah, yes, the fire dragon of the ice cave.

And all for the low, low price of any reasonably good food at all!

See, I don't really like small children. They don't do things the way they ought to.

This reminds me of something hilarious Bird called me once, that I can't repeat here.

But I'm not Scottish, so it doesn't count. Nyeh nyeh blyeeeeh.

What's horrible? The fact that I burn in an instant or that I am an offspring of a ginger? Although I have to say I sometimes question my parents. There hasn't been a blonde in a couple of generations, dad's brown haired and mum's a ginger... I end up blonde. Ah well, genetics are a silly thing.

Well, you're a ginger-kin, and there is the process of Osmosis of Scottishness. Probably hasn't had an appreciable effect. Yet.

That's like... whiter than milk.

... I currently have a peanut butter season... Must have peanut butter with jam all day erry day.

Huh. The most I ever get is an intense craving which is satisfied after 2-3 sandwiches and then it goes dormant for a month or several months. Maybe you're turning Hyper-American or Were-'Murican. Were you bitten by any strange, hairy creatures in the past few months? Been in proximity to figures cloaked primarily in flags?

The biggest annoyance in all this is that I forgot to mention evidence on why I think my focus child was reading books far below their appropriate level. I mean, Mr. Men books are sorta their level, but she has memorised all of them from front to cover and I forgot to mention it. *can't stop thinking about it*

Oy.

Colours of your family... Mean the clan tartan, eh?
In all fairness (no pun intended), I've considered getting the 100+ sun lotion that's marketed for albinos because I'm hopeless with the 50+. =/

Why try the equivalent when you could try the authentic stuff?

Something like that. I still have a big thick wooly comforter too that's my winter comforter, actually.

That's... impressive and scary.

It's actually annoyingly difficult to find a mars bar in the U.S. I've only seen them once. And from what I recall, I'd probably prefer a snickers instead. I want to try a fried fast break too though. That one reese's candy bar variant.

Why the whistle?

There's some level of synesthesia in my brain. I used to hate maths at some point because I got a headache from seeing all the numbers as apparently I don't see them the same the majority does. Nowadays I've just gotten used to it so it's no bother, I don't really think about it unless someone mentions the term.

To be honest, no. Never had the fishes nibble my toes. And I'd appreciate it if Koi-kun could keep his nibbleriffic mind to himself now.

I really admire people who have the time, skill and can put the effort into making a wonderful cake. My graduation cake was very beautiful, it was made by this young lassie mum found from the internets... Man, now I feel like having some cake again. Hrmh. Sadly/Happily I can't go to the shop and buy just some random cake thanks to my allergy. Sadness, oh sadness!

You should taste my mocha bites. Chocolate, sugar and mocha, topped with some more chocolate, sugar and mocha... *drools herself into a coma*

Because of the amount.

That's pretty interesting. I can't imagine how annoying that must have been though. Synesthesia always fascinates me. Though I normally dread whatever associations would be made or have been made involving myself.

Well, I guess there's no way to explain without any frame of reference.

Just means you've got to plan and make up for the delay with extra awesome. I love listening to the cake decorators at work talk about their private projects.

Mocha bites, you say? Sounds like a lot of fun, aye.

Yes you are <3

What? Mammy's a bit busy now...

Umm... Could you articulate yourself a bit better, young man?

Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, though...

Uh-uh! I'm a galoot! *pouts*

Did you know that it's okay to be Takei?

So it's even further!

Sheeez... Wean means a wee kiddie, you humbug. =P

ION: Listening to the new Daft Punk album. Not sure what to think, on the other hand I enjoy it, on the other hand there's a couple of pieces which don't really tingle my mingles.

So I'm a peppermint candy now?

That's an interesting turn of phrase. I still need to get on that and listen to the lot of it rather than that one single track.

I need an adult

I'm not so sure anymore. You're starting to become a little scary. I might need to call an adult again...

I just can't win.

Culture has nothing to do with this. That's just plain inappropriate.

Well, I'm not taking any drugs, so I suppose it happens. I just think a suppressed appetite is inherent in my genes...

I'm still not sure about how that gives me a built-in wingman, but okay...

The bonfire data structure: put your volatile data on the bonfire and watch it slowly fragment and corrupt until nothing but undistinguishable pieces of charcoal in a heap of ash remains. Non-volatile data remains untarnished in the bonfire (although colour attributes may turn unexplicably black), but removing data from the bonfire will practically always burn your fingers CPU.

Hm. I guess you'll have to use the powers of accountancy on the problem then.

I thought you were getting dragged there by friend or friends in the original construction.

Exactly.

Well, good luck with that, I guess!

Yes.

In the words of our good Amidral: "To each his own, I suppose."

Probably.

Beats me, I'm no connoisseur.

Thannk you.

I'm sorry.

*shrug* Just found it interesting is all. Sorry.

who could say? who can say? who would say? And why?

Probably for the best. I'd be a bit worried at your age.

Mostly nowhere. It's some musings spawned out of the question how we managed to become who we are as a people. In short words, we have a rather extreme relationship to our state, treating it both like family and as our moral compass...

Pretty much, yes. People in some cultures just interact more than others, and in some it's just natural that everyone should be your best friend.

And I was mostly refering to countries where Swedish tourists would go.

That's an interesting conception.

I can't even imagine that kind of setup.

Gambia would fall into that category or did?

So yes, you are talking about willfully freezing to death.

I aim for 7 and a half ordinary days, because past that I tend to get backlashes, but I generally end up with no more than 7 hours in the end...

Only if they don't let you back onto the dock.

Mmm. Lately I've been averaging 5. Stomach is trying to claw its way out of me. Old age blows.

I blame your weak teeth. Too much sleeping, probably.

Funny tricks memory plays.
