Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170

Welcome, forum-traveller, to this glorious haven of unconfined, unrestrained weirdness and conversation which fits in no other thread in all of the Playground!
Well, I say unrestrained. In fact there are a few rules. Just to make sure the thread doesn't move obnoxiously fast. Just a nice regular ridiculously fast will do.

These be the Rules:

Spoiler

Show

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.

15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

Listening to dance-punk has me writing epicness again.

This "Flame" song is gonna end up being, like 15 minutes long or something... but it needs to be long, there's a whole lot of tension being unravelled, and it's at an important spot in the album in my head!

Also, *NEW THREAD*
*BOOGIES*

Yay! New thread boogies! Start the pot discussion!:smalltongue: My school is like, less than 40% and 5%, at worst. My OLD school had like, one guy who smoked pot. He was awesome though.:smallcool:

I must admit that I gave a little laugh when I spotted the title.

Hey, Thufir, how many people have had more than 1 Random Banters? I'm too lazy to check...

Those new braces really suck, huh Thufir?

I propothe all poth in thith thread be typed with a lithp. No, not really, that'd get irritating quick.

Does this mean your name is actually Sufir? If so, that's kinda funny since it sounds like suffer :smallamused:

If you really want to ensure top marks, may I recommend pasting additional contributions like recent journalistic articles about a theme related to something done in class, or additional research (AKA Wikipedia Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V and format change) related to a topic dealt on in class. It ensures the teacher knows you are interested in their assignment and are willing to go the extra mile. I found it useful for a number of subjects were due to a number of factors I either lacked class notes or homework.

How accurate's that?

Pretty good actually.

Not budgie, but parakeet (couldn't find the word for budgie, and my French dictionary's at home (which is stupid seeing as I have many French books/essays to read this term)); yes; and yes.
Really though I should have written "Je ferrai des course" (I will go shopping), but at the moment it's a conditional presupposing both my girl and I are free for the whole day, and I couldn't be bothered looking up the future conditional in my grammar book because I haven't finished updating the contents page and thus couldn't be bothered to read through and look for it.
I have fifty hand-written pages of grammar! And loose sheets!

And the current thread:

Hey!
I'll have you know that as one of the Old Guard (but not the Old Old Guard) I spent an obscene amount of effort to not make an RB for years.
And seeing as Jibbers is basically Moses or Methuselah I think we can allow him a fair few threads to stop him from going barmy.
Poor old people. Always needing help with everything. :smallsmile:

ION:
Guess what! I found out why my living room was so drafty yesterday. Seriously, you won't believe it.
So backstory first to explain why you won't believe it:
Okay, I have three windows - big, old fashioned, lead-paned windows that need a second inner window, so it's basically double glazing, but keeps the original windows and allows for them to be opened thanks to a sliding second window.
And I'd been in my rooms about a week when I noticed that they never seemed to get warm, and there was a permanent draft even though I'd closed the windows I'd opened early on in October because it suddenly decided to be winter in like two days.
So I came down with a(nother) cold, which I am currently dosing with endless packs of Soothers and Beecham's cold and flu sachets.
And no matter what I did the room never heated up, but I figure it being in a building that's partially fifteenth-century drafts are just a thing.
Then yesterday I noticed the curtains in front of my desk, the ones which I never open because I don't like light on my laptop, were moving in a non-existent breeze. 'Oh great, one of the slidy windows must have worked itself open', so I pull back the curtain and find . . .
a broken window
No. Seriously.
A broken window.
No idea how it happened, all I know is that it's the reason for the terribly annoying cold I have, what with me sitting in front of a cold draft for at least a week and not noticing it as anything fixable. Fortunately, it being a probably medieval window (or at least Victorian and aping medieval windows) it's all made up of little panes of glass, and only the one pane was broken. So I pop along to the lodge, fill in the Job Book conveniently just as some of the groundskeepers were doing the daily Job Circuit and, this being a pretty urgent job, came back and fixed it within about half an hour.
I say fixed, but only temporarily.
See, college being old and rich and having a reputation they have a (get this) long-standing (I mean decades) contract with some lead-pane window fixers-and-restorers who come out to the college and fix/check up all the old windows when a certain quota's been reached.
And seeing as I have two broken windows in one room now, I'm fairly sure they'll be coming out before the end of term.
Lawd. When I tell a story I tell a saga don't I?
Look at the size of the text wall for the silliness inherent in my anecdote. I talk too much.

*BOOGIE!*

Awethome thread title, Sufir. :smalltongue:

Oh hey, it's weekend.

I totally just noticed that.

Particularly when she is as ignorant as she is. Doubtless she would also mention her rather unremarkable, even ugly, features save for the fact that she would be assured quite strongly that she is pretty etc. etc.
But, whatever she may or may not be, she is glad to always be a friend.

(I think that may have gotten away from me at the end)

The way the light hits those multi-paned lead glass windows gives a quality to a building, from the outside at least, unable to be duplicated by your high R value modern PVC windows. I think it's fantastic that they will be restored and not replaced with something efficiently dull. The multiple panes flash like facets as you move, and break up the light into something beautiful. A large flat window is not ugly, exactly, merely insipid by comparison.

My own home, with original 100+ year old windows on the porch, recently suffered a hole in a pane. I have no idea if it's replaceable, because the frame insets are bits of wood, not lead.

I'm about two floors above ground level, the panes are fairly small (about 7"x4"), and as I said: I keep that pair of curtains closed twenty-four/seven.

I suppose . . . However, those charms are largely personality based. Which is a plus considering that beauty fades etc. etc.

*Is that the correct pronoun to use there?

---

Yep, I'm pretty sure it is. The meaning you want to get across is 'to muddy [the dress] with blood' yes? In which case feminine pronoun with the feminine object and the vous is the addressee, being me.

Les idiomes anglaises souvent n'ont pas une idiome complimentaire en francais. :smallfrown:
Ce l'est triste. D'autre part: tomber dans les pommes :biggrin:! Fantastique!
Ne vous inquiétez pas j'essayerai d'obtenir des photos. Je pense que mes ongles même compliment de la robe.

Ah, :smallfrown:. Mon amie qui etude la francais habiterait a Rouens pour un an maintenant. Elle me manque beaucoup, mais c'est bien de parle en francais avec vous Kneen.

Which reminds me, got to get the French keyboard on my laptop again.

Got to keep up appearances and you can't suddenly have a medieval looking facade with medieval looking (or actual medieval) windows suddenly contrasted by one thick sheet of modern glass windows.

And speaking from experience, I think you can get your window replaced. Our home had original Victorian sash windows and when we had a broken window there was the option to get it replaced; we ended up going double glazed though because the outer casement itself was rotting and would have cost more to repair over the years than just getting a full new set of double glazed windows for the whole house.
The repair could cost you a pretty penny though, so ask around okay?

Just got back from my Shakespeare class. Within the first ten minutes we were talking about Blackadder and Fawlty Towers as classic comedy that appeals just as much now as it did then. And later on our professor then compared Jeeves (yes, that Jeeves) to Mephistopheles.
Good times.
And our professor also sounds really plummy, but also like the man who used to host Through the Keyhole which is rather disconcerting.
