Teddy's Turbulent and Topicless Random Banter #150

[Teddy]

Ladies and gentlemen, we're approaching area of heavy turbulence. I would reccomend you to stay in your seats and hold each other tightly. If anyone's scared, our stewards will soon bring you free hugs.

The Rules To prevent this thread from going down in a tailspin, you'd better obey these.

1. Spam. For the purposes of RB, one word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their own thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something that is off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and brow beat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

5. Please don't post single line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait 50 threads before making another one.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, be topicless, be turbulent and give us banter at your 150%.

Also, I think I need to hire a steward of some sort... :smallwink:

[Thufir]

If anyone's scared, our stewards will soon bring you free hugs.

*Massive snip*

Also, I think I need to hire a steward of some sort... :smallwink:

If those are the only duties, I imagine Cobra will be happy to oblige. You won't even have to pay him! Or, like, do anything. Iust let him loose, and the hugging will happen.

[smellie_hippie]

Wanders into new RB thread... which is a first time for being a first.

*Boogies*

*wanders back out*

edit: comes back in and scolds Thufir... :smallannoyed:

If those are the only duties, I imagine Cobra will be happy to oblige. You won't even have to pay him! Or, like, do anything. Iust let him loose, and the hugging will happen.

Hehehe. I actually thought about him when writing that sentence. Quite an obvious choice, really. :smallbiggrin:

[Trobby]

O.O Be right back. Gotta get the Boogie Kuppies.

*Poof*

Got 'em. :smallcool:

Ooh yay, new thread.

And from the last thread;


You know, I'm not that sure that people are especially prepared over here either. I was actually quite surprised when I found my street plowed this morning. Usually, we have to wait at least half a week before anything but the main roads get plowed. I actually contemplated skiing to school today if they didn't manage to plow the roads.

My city is always prepared. Doesn't really help on the first snow storm though. It's best to stay home that day. I didn't and now my hood is bent:smallfrown:

The city salts the road like crazy. Very hard on vehicles, but at least you won't die driving.

As much as the city is prepared, the people living here aren't. On the first snow storm there were accidents everywhere. I'm sure at least half the city was in an accident. Today we had another bout of snow and I came across a minor accident. The roads aren't even that bad, get snow tires already.

[Cobra_Ikari]

*snuggles*

We don't get snow here. =P

[Recaiden]

I know we'll get snow eventually, but not yet. :smallfrown: I wish it would hurry up.

[Gullara]

*snuggles*

We don't get snow here. =P

Thanks:smallsmile: You're lucky.


I know we'll get snow eventually, but not yet. :smallfrown: I wish it would hurry up.

Snow? That thing that we always have in the Winter? ;p Yeah. We had some two days ago, in fact.

Damn you, New York Weather. @_@; (But at least it's not constant snow. <.<; )

*BOOGIE!*
This thread has been Koorly-blessed.

From the last thread:


The only reasons I've ever really accepted for wearing contacts were performance-related. There's a bit during the Act 1 finale of Patience when the female chorus all blindfold themselves, which obviously is easier with contacts than with glasses.
Also, apparently glasses can be an issue with the lights reflecting off them and potentially obscuring facial expressions to some extent, from the audience's point of view. They asked me if I could possibly manage without mine for Ruddigore. But since they only asked at the dress rehearsal, I ignored it completely.

Honestly? Given the choice between contacts and no glasses at all, I'd go no glasses. My eyesight's not so bad that I'm virtually blind without them; granted I'd have trouble with reading . . .
*takes off glasses*
*squints*
Oh my goodness.
I now have trouble reading the words on my computer screen, they're rather blurry and a lighter black than they should be. That's . . . a lot worse than I remember.
*re-glasses*
So yeah. I'd have trouble reading anything on a bright screen or something far away. Or seeing anything far away with any reliability.
But as far as a play goes. Easy. A stage is only so big after all.

And they were rather foolish asking you at the dress rehearsal about de-glassing. Especially as, if I'm right, your eyesight is rather poorer than mine, so you;d need to be able to adiust to being glassesless.
Myself, I rather like the scary shiny blank glasses myself. Adds a touch of fear to your appearance.


Oh ye gods yes. I have such a phobia of going blind, and anything being near my eyes. This is probably due to having hypersensitive eyes. The first and only time I had a contact in my eye, I fainted from the pain. :smalleek:

Eeep. :smalleek:
I don't think I can actually wear contacts with my prescription; but the thought of anything near my eyes makes me flinch too.
Eyeliner, mascara, fingers, frecking needles being poked into my pupil when I'm fully conscious and only nine years old (or was it eight?), and the aftermath of having to use an eyedropper for about three weeks after that was bad.
Didn't want anyone else to do it for obvious reasons, so I got to almost poke myself in the eye with a pointy plastic cone. Whee.


On weather, it's been hovering just around freezing and raining for the past week. :smallsigh:

'Scuse me while I go hibernate.

Not freezing here, well not truly; but lots of rain and coldness here.
And to think in iust over two weeks I'll be spending an evening in a flimsy ballgown.
*mope*

ION:
Whoop!
Two essays down, the translation (as due in next Thursday) is half done (but I'm going to do the whole piece), so I've only got two essays to do.
I can do this.
Finish off the other fifty odd lines I have to do tonight. Tomorrow write up that essay. The weekend for the other essay.

Oh.
But I'm going over to Lawyer Friend's next weekend. So between next Monday and Friday I got to write up that essay too. And knowing my fits of procrastination I won't have done the Next Thursday essay until Tuesday/Wednesday.
So Thursday/Friday for the Monday essay.

Argh. And the weekend after that is the Ball, so I got to get that Monday essay done by Friday. Urgh. And I think that's 8th week too, so I have another essay due in on Thursday.

Excuse me while I go cower in a corner for a few minutes and whimper.

Koorly: Do you need me to slaughter a lamb in sacrifice to give you strength?

Or would you prefer a different contribution? Maybe a story about said event rather than actually doing it, and how the Goddess would be utterly grossed out by the whole lamb slaughtering thing?

Or maybe you don't like mutton? Maybe a side of beef would be better? :smallconfused:

Aaaaawwwww, that's so sweet. A story would be best though, not because I get grossed out over animal slaughter (I'm pretty bloodthirsty), but because it's thematically appropriate. :smallsmile:
I'll get over it though.
Hoenstly, if I iust bothered to manage my time better I'd be much better off. Seriously.
I mean, even if I only halved my time here I'd be much better off. Can't imagine what it'd be like if I simply stopped posting. It's a tempting thought isn't it? Don't worry. I'm not going to be doing this any time soon. Or ever.


Or maybe you don't like mutton? Maybe a side of beef would be better? :smallconfused:

Mutton is roasted sheep.
Roast lamb is well, roasted lamb.
I'm not really a fan of either of them, and beef's only slightly better. I will however enioy any roast pork or chicken you have. Or duck. Or venison.

Meh. Last year in Fenham, I never switched the heating on. Stuck clingfilm over my window for extra insulation, wore extra layers, and fingerless gloves to keep my hands warm while typing or writing, and avoided leaving my bedroom, or for that matter my bed, as much as possible. But never switched the heating on.
Well, hardly ever.


How has THE PLAYGROUND BEEN? What has changed?

Changed? Um, some people left? Some people came back? Threads rose and fell as they do. The Playground continues much as it has this past age.

[Teddy]

As much as the city is prepared, the people living here aren't. On the first snow storm there were accidents everywhere. I'm sure at least half the city was in an accident. Today we had another bout of snow and I came across a minor accident. The roads aren't even that bad, get snow tires already.

That's so very true over here too. Every single time we're hit by the first snowfall, everyone gets really surprised and the amount of accidents skyrocket. You'd think that people would learn after i happened a few times, but no, apparently not.

Well, if I'm not allowed white tac or post-it note 'blu tac' I sincerely doubt I'm allowed to cling film my windows. And I forgot my gloves. :smallsigh:
I wish I could have done the 'stay in bed forever' thing though. It's so warm, and it's cold and depressing out (probably didn't help that I stayed up until seven a.m. this morning) and the bed's so inviting.

Does anyone think Lie To Me flags things just a little too much? I don't watch it too much not having a TV and all (oh, iPlayer you are my true love in such matters). I'm not great at Sense Motive really - not many ranks, maybe 15 WIS on a good day - but it really seems way too obvious sometimes.

There's not enough Old English porn. Plenty of old, English porn though I bet. Is Victorian 'what the butler saw' photos old enough? Or perhaps the racy jokes in Shakespeare? ("Ah, here are here Cs, her Us, and her Ts and thus she makes her great Ps.")

Facetious or no? :smalltongue:

I did finish . . . at the expense of pretty much everything else, but so it goes. Now I'm catching up again.


Oh my oh me.
I accidentally logged myself out of the site. So 'course, I logged back in.
First under Koorly, and then Curly. Then I remembered my actual name.
I legitimately forgot my own name.
I have no idea what this says about me.

I don't think I've logged in in . . . three years? I actually have no idea what my password is. Must be written down in my password file . . . I can only hope.


Dragonrider: So how's Movember treating you?

Aha. Ha. Ha. You're funny. :smallbiggrin:

I'm... really not sure what you're suggesting here.

I was suggesting that the ladies of the playground would make themselves scarce in such a case. Though it's possible they might just butcher us.


I need to share this right now.

My girlfriend and I were talking on the phone, and we recited the entirety of the Castlevania: Symphony of the Night "What is a man?" speech.

...with slow, dramatic, sensual overtones.

Rawsome and yet... slightly scary. Which just makes it more awesome. :smalleek:

Is there any problem that can't be solved with Hot Chocolate? :o

If there are, I don't wanna know.

Kuppies get a +2 bonus to dexterity. We make excellent ninjas. <w<

+2 dex, you say? Awesome! *goes to cast some rays*

These quotes combined make me...actually I'm not sure if I should be creeped out or totally approve.

D: NOT SURE IF WANT.

Wow, didn't think I'd manage to provoke that much of a reaction. I'm not exactly sure what reaction this is, actually...

Puns upon puns upon puns... *1d4+3 pun damage* :smalltongue:

[Teddy]

I am disappoint. The title should totally be "Teddy's Turbulent and Tumultuous, Though Topicless, Random Banter #150".

No, I wanted to keep it short and concise. Also, I had a bit of a trouble thinking up good T-words, but I still wanted to keep it short and concise...


As long as it's not a Topless Random Banter.

You know, if I wasn't such a procrastinator, I would have made a picture based on a number of puns derived from the word Topicless. Aside from Topless, Tropicless and (the slightly non-sensical) Top-Iceless (think the tip of an iceberg) would also be featured. :smallamused:


Is there any problem that can't be solved with Hot Chocolate? :o

If those are the only duties, I imagine Cobra will be happy to oblige. You won't even have to pay him! Or, like, do anything. Iust let him loose, and the hugging will happen.

Well I have had an eventful week.

I can't really discuss it here due to board policy but lets just say that an event I was at was on the cover of most British newspapers today.....

[Coidzor]

Well, I hope it was for good reasons rather than bad, nonetheless.

You enjoy yourself?

Introbulus: Eh, the moment's passed... and I still can't find the original. :smallfrown: I'm sure if you looked you'd find an acceptable alternative, for my google-fu is hilariously weak.

Oh it was for a good reason. It's just not everyone there was there for that same reason.


And yes I did, I'm even on Sky News performing the Hokey-Cokey whilst surrounded by riot police.

I don't get Sky (despite the best and most spammy attempts of the property management--their kickback must be based on new accounts not a flat fee) but I did assume that the hokey-cokey was the British version of the hokey-pokey.

We were just messing around doing it, since we had nowhere else to go (see 'riot police') and we needed to pass the time. Why not do the Hoky-Cokey?

The first thing we knew about is was when walking to the train station afterwards one of us got a call saying their family had just seen us dancing on TV.

So now I've been on TV twice in one year.

I didn't read "Topicless" as "Topless" until somebody said it. Now I can't read it as anything else. Thank you so much.

This.

Also, Tiggers are awesome, Octodad kind of reminds me of Lil Cthulhu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOHJUrcVdJk), and the internet has ruined my life. Oh well, I guess it's worth it.

I have a wallpaper with Deadpool saying "I love the smell of 372,844 pancakes in the morning. Smells like victory."
That's the general tone.
And I should mention the white apron and chef's hat. Which are on over his completely unchanged standard outfit.

This is all I need to know. I require a copy of any Deadpool Comic ever.

I was suggesting that the ladies of the playground would make themselves scarce in such a case. Though it's possible they might just butcher us.

Oh.

I don't think I'm that much of a moving force to be honest.
Butchering though, yes, I can see that.

I blame general lewdness in the posting population for the topless conversation. *nodnod*

I've seen that before. I just didn't know if it was the general tone of the comic itself. Marvel, from all that I've read, tends to be very serious, and what I've heard about Deadpool's backstory is...actually kind of depressing. o.o;

[Cleverdan22]

Nah, Deadpool's a wacky guy full of fun and amazing feats of coolness.

Also, Kit, I think Coid was referring to the thread title, which says "Topicless."

[Rae Artemi]

Intro, let's just put it this way, in one of Deadpool's more recent comics, he teamed up with Spiderman to fight a monkey assassin. Just think about that sentence for a minute.

Oh, and he once had an inflatable sheep cannon. That too.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Okay.
I accidentally split my laptop in half. A little.
It's put back together now, but I can still lift up the corner and see the wiry innards of my dying laptop.

Regarding the title, for the record, I'm in the "Didn't read it as topless until people started going on about it" group.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Because your laptop is hungry? :smalltongue:


Because I'm hungry, and it's dinner time?
Also Math Friend had made muffins yesterday, and I was going over to pick up the Rent soundtrack her Dad had burnt off for me.
So muffins.

They were nice muffins. Better than the cereal I'm eating for dessert.

EDIT:
Cookie if you know what I'm listening to as I type this post.

[Thufir]

Because I'm hungry, and it's dinner time?

Wha-no. Dinner time is defined as the time you eat dinner, fair enough. But muffins are not dinner. Muffins are a snack. You are not eating dinner, ergo it is not dinner time.


Cookie if you know what I'm listening to as I type this post.

Well, since you mentioned the Rent soundtrack further up the post I'm guessing that. If you only iust got it... Seasons of Love?

[CurlyKitGirl]

Wha-no. Dinner time is defined as the time you eat dinner, fair enough. But muffins are not dinner. Muffins are a snack. You are not eating dinner, ergo it is not dinner time.

Muffins makes a good dessert, I was merely having dinner in reverse order. See, I've iust finished eating my main: cereal.
This does ring up an interesting quandary, if I say it is dinner time, or that I'm eating dinner, does that then meant that whatever I'm eating at that point in time becomes dinner even if it is typically considered breakfast, lunch or a snack.
I would say so. Dinner is a state of mind.


Well, since you mentioned the Rent soundtrack further up the post I'm guessing that. If you only iust got it... Seasons of Love?

Nope.
Love of My Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QtqADo-D3mQ&feature=related).
I've had that song in my head all day. :smallsmile:
Admittedly Rent stuff is next to play.

Although I have iust noticed that my rather large Queen folder under my favourites is completely lacking the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert amongst other things . . .
This must be rectified!

When I grow older
I will be there
At your side
To remind you
How I still love you
I still love you

Hurry back hurry back
DOn't take it away from me

No! Cereal is not dinner either! Cereal is breakfast or snack. I define meals by their composition.

This is problematic then, because by this definition I have't actually eaten a proper dinner in a couple of weeks. My dinners are normally what I have for lunch.
And I tend to define dinner by times rather than the make up of the meal.

My relationship to RB is a funny one. Pretty often when I check it, I find the current topics not interesting enough to reply to, but that I've missed some other interesting topic two pages ago which was discussed when I was away. Then, when I return half a day later, the thread either hasn't moved at all, and I'm still not interested, or it has moved a few pages forward, and I realize that I actually find the "uninteresting" topic that was discussed earlier interesting now. It is a source of sighs...


@Thread title: When I came up with it, I first thought up 'topicless', and then, pretty instantly, realised that it looked pretty similar to 'topless'. I always read it as 'topicless', though (might be because I wrote it, however :smallwink:).

[Moff Chumley]

Epic multi-library book hunt today. I'm still two books short of everything Charles Stross has written, and my local libraries have a woeful deficiency of Larry Niven, but it should still be an entertaining week... :smallbiggrin:

I once took a test which measured my spatial awareness and my result came back saying I had none. As in, no spatial awareness at all. This is reasonably close to accurate (it's a mystery even to me how I manage to play drums or walk around without smacking into things too often).

Consequently, I am really bad at driving.

I had my test today. ><

I'm just surprised the thing my examiner chose to fail me on was just being in the wrong lane for one small stretch of roundabout. Like, he didn't notice me drift across about three lanes at a different roundabout, nearly scrape a bus, narrowly miss a parked car, and go up the right of some traffic when it was very debatable whether I had the room to? Huh. No mention of it on his reporty thing. I got 6 minors, which is apparently a really rather good drive. I thought I was pretty awful myself. And he randomly told me to pull over and then move off again about six or seven times. :smallconfused: It was odd.

Strangely, I can do the manoeuvres perfectly. I just can't drive very well at all. DX

I would say so. Dinner is a state of mind.


I agree to a certain extent. Then again, what's the difference between tea, dinner and supper, all three which are eaten at about the same time of the evening.

I grew up with the three basic meals. Breakfast in the morning before heading to school, then lunch at about midday, and then a light meal consisting of some sandwiches and tea/hot chocolate/milk chocolate drink.

Only rarely did we have what I'd define as 'dinner' which would be a cooked meal. Mostly only on Friday or Saturday nights.

I get the same feeling every now and then. Sometimes there's just not enough going on that I feel I can contribute to.

Spatial awareness is quite important when driving. Not having good spatial awareness could result in a very high insurance premium.

I backed into a wall on my driving test, and I still got my licence.
Was trying to do a three point turn, and didn't make it round all the way first time, so I decided to make it into a five point turn instead (which is acceptable). When I was about to start forward again, I figured I'd make sure that I had enough space to not have to make it into a seven point turn, so I decided to back up a little bit more, 4-5 inches or so.
Problem was that there was a wall only about 3 inches behind the car. :smallredface:
It was just a very tiny bump at basically no speed at all, though, so I got my licence anyways.

And the fact that this was apparently important enough for me to stop and tell people about it. -_-; I think it says I need to do something more interesting with my life.

Anyhow, playing jazz is good fun. I did this thing with a drummer for a bit, was awesome. He was playing without any cymbals or hi-hats. His drumming was almost melodic, it was quite cool. And I was playing a Rhodes through my guitar pedalboard. For the record, my pedalboard contains two fuzz pedals, one of which produces nothing but noise if you play anything more complicated than a fifth, and the other of which sounds like a dying Atari; a Boss distortion I modded to sound like it has a permanently dying battery; and an analog delay.

That was a lot of fun. :smallcool:

Ah, that's a shame, judging by your little tone cluster thing in your signature you'd get along well with our guitarist as well. :smalltongue: He's a cool guy, loves contemporary classical and makes music that sounds like Richard D. James having a fight with The Residents.

That sounds like an amazing setup! I love really stripped-down kits. Occasionally I play with just a snare, a hi-hat and my bass drum and see what I come out with. It's a lot of fun. The drums can be a surprisingly melodic instrument. Someone (I think it was my dad) once told me that drums weren't very melodic so I just played Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies for him. On the drums. Never managed to do it again quite so well, though, and I did try. :smallfrown: And I'd love to get into the whole ridiculous electronic music-y modification thing, pedals and drum machines and all that, but actual drums take up all my money and I am USELESS with anything electronic. ;_;

[Quincunx]

Battle photographs alone are sobering because they leave the dirt in. My little civilian imagination can't have made that stuff up, and in wondering how all that dirt got there, my mind goes to somber places. As to why slow, somber music is somber, I have less of a clue. Happy music raises or mimics your heartbeat. Improvised music makes your mind strain to make the connections and expands your creativity. Sad music? No idea. . .

[Teddy]

why is the combination of battle scenes and slow sad music so sobering?

Because slow, sad music is sobering in any situation, and battle scenes makes you pay attention to it?

[CoffeeIncluded]

It's because sad music=sobering, and battle scenes=sobering, so sad music+battle scene=2xSobering.

Question: How important are table manners in college, assuming a very casual setting? Because I was just splitting a very delicious raspberry tart with my dad and then my dad told me to please sit properly in my chair instead of perching like a bird (Which I always do) with my toes curled on the edge of the chair for everyone to see (Which only happens at home because I actually wear shoes outside the house) and that it's not really proper to lick the raspberry filling off my fingers.

And I appreciate the advice, but I really just want to sit comfortably (For me, anyway) and enjoy my raspberry tart.

So, in college, will people give me odd looks if I study/eat dinner/eat several pounds of confectioneries, chocolates, candies, and baked goods while sitting oddly/not displaying "proper table manners," assuming I'm in my dorm room or something? :smalltongue:

(This is why I prefer to do my homework while I sit on my bed. More comfortable and a lot more room for me to move around and sit however I like. Hooray for no pins and needles from sitting "awkwardly" in a chair! :smallbiggrin:)

No dressing, obviously. ;p I just like raw vegetables, K? :smalltongue:

[CoffeeIncluded]

Ah, I see. Raw vegetables are good. So are cooked ones, if they're prepared right. Most people are surprised that I actually like vegetables, since I've got a massive sweet tooth.

[Teddy]

Ah, thanks. Don't worry, I use a fork. And it's not like I perch on the table, it's on the seat; I'm sitting scrunched up with my feet on the chair seat instead of the ground. But thanks for the warning; I guess I'll have to condition myself to sit properly immediately instead of after I sit down. :smalltongue:

Perching would be quite visible nevertheless, since your knees will be visible above the table surface. Perching on top of the table would just look riddiculous.

Also, I'll join Trobby as someone who prefere his salad raw. I think it tastes fresher that way. Complicated tastes are for the main course (and even there, I then to eat the different components separately).

EDIT:

So do I, and I'm a huge fan of salad too. It might be because salad usually contains the highest amount of sugar in a meal, I guess. It's mostly fat and amide in the rest of it. I especially like paprika and cocktail tomatoes, which tend to be pretty sweet.

[Recaiden]

So, anyone heard of the game of foursquare? Especially outside the USA?

[Cobra_Ikari]

It's because sad music=sobering, and battle scenes=sobering, so sad music+battle scene=2xSobering.

Question: How important are table manners in college, assuming a very casual setting? Because I was just splitting a very delicious raspberry tart with my dad and then my dad told me to please sit properly in my chair instead of perching like a bird (Which I always do) with my toes curled on the edge of the chair for everyone to see (Which only happens at home because I actually wear shoes outside the house) and that it's not really proper to lick the raspberry filling off my fingers.

And I appreciate the advice, but I really just want to sit comfortably (For me, anyway) and enjoy my raspberry tart.

So, in college, will people give me odd looks if I study/eat dinner/eat several pounds of confectioneries, chocolates, candies, and baked goods while sitting oddly/not displaying "proper table manners," assuming I'm in my dorm room or something? :smalltongue:

(This is why I prefer to do my homework while I sit on my bed. More comfortable and a lot more room for me to move around and sit however I like. Hooray for no pins and needles from sitting "awkwardly" in a chair! :smallbiggrin:)

*shrugs* You perch like a bird, I perch like a gargoyle. Parents are the only people who care. =P

I remember sitting like that... A lot... Then I realized how much work it was :smalltongue:

About the salad, I seriously laughed at the dressing part. I love dressing, otherwise it's not as fun.


In other news...

Haha, I just got a hilarious mental image of myself eating dinner at home while perching barefoot on the table. Thanks! :smallbiggrin:

Although hm...The good thing about sitting the way I do is that it's really easy to prop up a book/binder/my laptop in my lap. Plus my knees act as an extra surface! :smallbiggrin:

Yeah, fresher is best, though I love complicated flavors. I'm a bit of a food addict. :smalltongue:


*shrugs* You perch like a bird, I perch like a gargoyle.

A gargoyle?

[CrimsonAngel]

So, I have an announcement...

I WENT TO DISNEY WORLD AND HUGGED EEYORE AND POOH AND TIGGER AND PIGLET AND BOLT AND CHIP AND DALE AND MICKEY AND STITCH!

And the first four are signifigant because my name is Christopher Robin. Did you know that Disney World has ZERO Christopher Robin merchandise?

[Moff Chumley]

Randall Munroe linked to this game (http://jayisgames.com/games/manufactoria/). It's been 45 minutes and I just now checked a different tab. :smalleek:

Yup. Sitting on the edge, hunched over, toes curled around the leg support bar. =3

Concerning the great salad debate:

I like veggies too. :3

You know, it occurs to me that you are completely right...<.<; But it also occurs to me that Christopher Robin really isn't all that prominent in the movies. Mostly it's the animals they focus on. *shrug*

But hope you enjoyed Disney World. It really is super duper magical.

...But oh god I pity you if you went on It's A Small World. D:

I got to see the Christmas party parade and a princess waved at me. How the hell did they get the fireworks to be in certain shapes? I didn't know fireworks came in cubes and smiley faces.

Yes, I did go on It's A Small World. You can't not ride it when you go for the first time. :smallbiggrin: I RODE TEACUPS! :biggrin:

[CoffeeIncluded]

So how great is Disney World? I've never been there...:smallfrown:

[Blue Ghost]

I used to live super duper close to Disney World and would go there several times every year. Haven't been back there for nine years now. :smallfrown:
But as I recall, it was super amazing. Is it still?

[Trobby]

Pretty great...<.<; If you ever get a chance, go. *hugs Coffee*

The teacups were out of service when I was there. D: Serves me for going there in October.

<.<; The Halloween Free Candy was pretty awesome though...even if half of it was pretty awful. ^^;

I believe we used to play a similar kind of game when I was in middle school (about 25 years ago). Yes, I know I'm old!
We used a tennis ball instead of a big ball, though, and we also had a small centre square where the serve had to be served into to start things off.

I am so jealous of your opportunity to hug Winnie the Pooh characters! Winnie the Pooh is by far my favorite Disney creation. =3

:O :O YOUR NAME IS CHRISTOPHER ROBIN!?? SERIOUSLY!? :smalleek: :smallbiggrin::smallbiggrin: *hug tackles*
That is a very, very awesome name.

And I never noticed that.... poor Christopher Robin, without him there would be no Pooh Bear. Disney World should be ashamed of their lack of appreciation towards Christopher. :smallfrown:

A man-shaped costume would be terrifying, though. They'd need a child actor to play him. =\

very. very amazing

also i think my earlier query pays truth to the addage that music makes the moment, take the battle scene for example...

no music= scary
energetic music= avenging army
slow music= this isn't good, the battle is obviously going badly
happy music= obviously the owner of the pov is going crazy or a sociopath

i love soundtrack dissonance, it makes everything eerie, for example i saw a video on youtube of a firsthand experience of 9/11 and the owner of the camera had "this old man" playing in another room. it was creepy creepy.
another example, "End of Evangelion" Komm, süßer Tod anyone?

[Moff Chumley]

I'm not sure I'd quite agree with that. I prefer fights (most scenes, really) without music. Slow music, yes; energetic music, maybe; but dissonant music could mean all sorts of things depending on the movie. For example, the last scene in Dr. Strangelove... :smallbiggrin:

[Snares]

Idea: two triggers, on kick and snare. Plug 'em into one of these (http://bigcitymusic.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_21&products_id=245) and one of these (http://bigcitymusic.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_21&products_id=246). Or just the MBrane. They sound incredible, and you could use either of them as synths in their own right if you have a MIDI keyboard. :smallamused:

Ooh, they look interesting...

I do have an electric kit already though, which I enjoy greatly. :smallcool: I've just put together a ridiculously fun breakcore-y drum setup on it, two snares, a hi-hat on the middle tom, the floor tom is a ride cymbal, a regularly placed hi-hat and china, and then I just mapped another kick to the ride cymbal. Because I could. Now I can, and do, thunder along to Vsnares and it sounds sexy.

the energetic music would fit best in a fight after the 1st party suffered a horrible loss, then rallied and attacked back(like dolittle's raid after pearl harbor)

the dissonance, yes that's why i love it

[CoffeeIncluded]

Thanks guys. Don't worry, I do plan to go. :smallsmile:
