Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I don't normally participate in the dream discussions, but I seem to have started one this time. By accident. :smalltongue: It was because of the crying talk....
DD: You've never died in one of my dreams THAT I CAN REMEMBER, but I have had Playground dreams with a lot of the people round here.

Those are always freakin' weird...

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I talked about one of the playgrounder dreams I had, right Cristo?
The one where I was trying to climb the fire escape in the rain?

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I wouldn't know. My memory of things that happened before lunchtime is kinda fuzzy...

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
My dreams contain either wolves cross-bred with deinonychus attacking me (they can open doors and be hairy monsters) or the all-encompasing abyss staring at me. One or the other.
People saying they don't cry are lying. Lying forever.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
Hmm, the only dream that I can remember that had playgrounders was me setting fire to goverment buildings, schools and all that stuff with FoE and BRC...

Eh, it wasn't anything exciting.
Me and a few playgrounders were having a party, and we were going to hang out at my apartment (and I lived in New York City, for some reason) but I had locked my keys inside my apartment, and it was raining and I tried to climb the fire escape to get into my place.
Meanwhile, the people waiting for me to let them in were yelloing encouragements at me.
Weird.

What about those of us who have had their souls ground down into a fine powder then tossed to the wind due to state schooling followed by day-after-day monotony of mind-numbing lectures and defensive isolation leaving us lifeless and hollow as a circle of bark?
I ask because a friend wants to know.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
I had a dream/alternate version of history that I actually wrote into a history essay. Then I realised what had happened and had to rewrite four A4 pages worth of essay.
Shippers'll know about the IStLY series, for those who don't know; it's set in and around the tenth century AD on the borders of Byzantium and another empire. There's wars and magic and epic romance and creepy stuff.
So I pretty much fabricated the entire history of Europe up to the Second Crusade based upon the outcome of the wars going on in that series.
Mmmm; three hundred odd years of history.
When I woke up it was the day before it was due in, so Sunday, and I just wrote what I'd created. It was not at all similar in most ways to real history.
I was most miffed.
Especially when I ended up talking of Alarra of Puddings instead of Eleanor of Aquitaine and it hit me, then and there what I'd done.
By the by, if the first crusade really happened in that world the crusaders really wouldn't have made it that far. They kind of got stuck just outside Constantinople and . . . bad things happened.
Then they sailed around.
But the bad things.
Such a vivid dream. And I even had history books on the history that I was referencing when I was writing my essay.
Ficitious history books.

No, they're lying about crying too. Unless they've lost their eyes due to having them ground down into a fine powder then tossed to the wind due to state schooling followed by day-after-day monotony of mind-numbing lectures and defensive isolation leaving the eye-sockets lifeless and hollow as a circle of bark.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
HELLO PLAYGROUND!
I just got back from London and I must say, London (Or at least the West End) is amazing, so much culture in one place, it's astounding.
I saw Joseph and his amazing coloured dreamcoat, it was excellent, especially the jamaican guy who sang "Not him, not he, how you can accuse him is a mystery. Save him, take me, Benjamin is greater than the top of tree".
Then I saw Wicked (Wizard of Oz prequel) and it was even better, simply wonderful, Bock turning into The Tin Man, Fierro turning into The Scarecrow, Garlinda (The "ar" is silent) the Good being a moron, all good fun.
So how is everybody?

Well, still no. There are three types of tears: basal, reflex and psychic. Basal are the ones that keeps your eyes moist, reflex are yawning/irritants/etc. and psychic are the emotional ones.
You could argue that only the emotional response is crying, but if there are tears in your eyes, you are crying. So, yeah. Everyone cries, unless they want their eyes to shrivel up and die. You don't have a choice.
@^ You have ruined a play I never wanted to see for me, I am shocked and appalled. Shocked. And appalled.

Re: The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116
So I have a question for you strange internet people. But first the backstory!
So today in math class, I didn't have my homework because I didn't do it. The teacher didn't check to see if anyone had it, except me. She just came up to me and said "Dan, have you got your homework?" So, I do kind of have a history of being inconsistant when it comes to doing my homework. So my question is, am I justified in being mad at her for singling me out, or is it all right because of my record? My ego dictates that I am right, but I don't think my ego has ever not supported me. Not even when I threw a baby into a trash compacted and set it to "extra crushed."

Which play were you referring to? And if you never wanted to see it, how can I have ruined it?
Now I have to find a clever way out of this.
There are two doors and on each door is a puzzle.
The puzzle on the first door is a word puzzle, it says "Ask yourself, what is the opposite of opposite?"
The second puzzle is also a word puzzle, it says "What colour does a Smurf turn when we choke it?"
@^: Your name is Dan?
I would say considering your record and that she is a teacher, she has the right to single you out, but still shouldn't, she should ask to see you after class and then talk to you about it then.

I think it's called Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat? At least, it is in the US. I know this because one of my friends was in it (the best high school production I had ever seen) as Simeon. :smalltongue:

You've ruined the idea of it, Fred. I could've made it all up myself if you hadn't gone and told me elements of the plot. And then I would've gone and seen it in my head. Now what will I do on the tube, Fred? Not make up plays based only on their title? You make me sick, with your beatnik ways.

I believe that's what it's called here too. We even had a televisio competition to decide who the lead role would be.
@ DragonPrime: She probably shouldn't single you out. But I guess the lesson to be learned here is to always do your homework (coming from someone who just spent his evening catching up on homework that should've been done over a week ago)

Yeah, I was in the marching band in high school and one year we did a selection of songs from it as our half-time show. Do you have any idea how weird it is to march in 3/4?

no, I have no idea as I'm not someone who's ever marched before. How weird is it exactly, on a scale of 1 to 10?

I just thought that was what the filmed version was called. Never mind, I was wrong. Life goes on.
I have to go to school in the morning and for the first time in years, I don't want to.

Weird, Daniel is my name too. Although Fred fits just as well, thinking about it, I could've been Danthedruid instead.
Which sounds better, Danthedruid or Fredthefighter?

'Cause I did.

Danthedruid, because Dan is the awesomest male name to ever exist. Except maybe Darth Vader.
@Dallas-Dakota: English is a Germanic language, so I guess all the Germanics fall. Including you, Dutch-man.
Is it unnatural that I immediately imagined a superhero after writing out Dutch-man?

I completely agree there. Darth Vader is surpassed by none, unfortunately, I never thought of Darththedruid. Hmmm, it's a bit late now to change my account name, I'm too ingrained into being Fredthefighter that I don't really want to change unless I have to. I've grown accustomed to the axe. :smallbiggrin:
