I need to find my copy of the movie again.
As for my theme song, Winter's Wolves- The Sword.
@xNadia: Congrats for having your own Random Banter thread!

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
I'm going to preface this by saying that's probably good advice, but that almost kind of sounds like something from a movie where a character is impersonating an expert.
"Uh, sir, I was wondering if you had any advice. I've got a nasty anti-aliasing problem, and I'm having trouble defining the edges in this part of the image. Any advice?"
"Hm. Well, of course, there's always altering the Alpha layers."
"...what?"
"The Alpha layers, man! Alter them."
"...oh...kay."Spoiler<-I won this from Dr. Bath.Spoiler

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
That's kinda' what I was aiming for, but while still trying to keep helpful advice in there somewhere.
Also, the vocabulary quiz tomorrow has the stupidest words. Really, Oxford? You think that we all don't all know the word procrastinate? I'm supposed to think you're a high-end name.

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
I've never really understood the purpose of that word. Why can't you just say "Yeah, I'm against the disestablishment of the Anglican Church?"
Of course, then the world would be down one awesome word.
I remember that I tried to spell that word in first grade without ever having seen it before. I almost got it right, too—I think I spelled it with an I instead of an E in the "establish" part accidentally. Which is understandable, given that many people pronounce it that way.
I used to be so proud of my spelling. I would have won that class spelling bee on my field trip to a revolutionary war era schoolhouse in whateverth grade, too, if only I had known how to spell the word "Jesuit." I spelled it with a Z instead of an S.
I blame my Jewish upbringing, as I had absolutely no clue what a Jesuit was.

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
I always thought the point of the word "antidisestablishmentariansim" was to create the most awesome superhero name ever.
Sadly, nobody seems to have taken that one yet.

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
I've been up for twenty minutes. This day is going to SUCK, I can tell. First, my horrible headache is back as soon as I open my eyes, not helped by me whacking my head on my beadpost, and I have the sinking suspicion that I'm going to vomit as soon as I eat something. All while attempting to do homework. Ugh

did you know that piranhas only eat meat when it's the dry season and they can't reach the nuts that they normally eat?

Due to real life issues, I have been gon without warning for a while. I seem to be back now until further notice.
Thanks to Szilard for the Avatar!
If I am ever wrong, feel free to correct me. Learning is awesomesauce.
I like to edit my posts. A lot. As you may see, most of my posts will be edited, so if one is not, and you care about what I said, you may want to check it again a minute later.
Yes.

Do you have any idea how many times I've been threatened with that? I've paid over five million dollars in reconstructive surgery getting "CHA" taken off my face three times so far.
@Kopaka: Yes, of course I knew, this is the internet. We know everything here on the internet.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis: A factitious word alleged to mean "a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust, causing inflammation in the lungs." A condition meeting the word's definition is normally called silicosis.

Threats against my being are insubstantial. The worst lasting damage you people have managed to do is stick that flag in me. It itches like hell.

Re: The Kiwi's Kinkily Knotted and Kookily Kickass Random Banter #114
Aw, come ON. Where did my megapost go?
Hold on, let me fish it back up.
Over the years, my friend and I have come up with a LOT of jokey superheroes.
These (and more) will get a writeup in a future Chocolate Hammer post, so spoiler warning, I guess.
Spoiler
Steel Man: An ordinary steel mill worker was making the rounds when suddenly, a mysterious shipment of radiation was conducted through the workplace. Abruptly, the shipment swung out of control, knocking the mill worker into one of the steel vats along with the radioactive isotope.
When his friends fished him out of the vat, he was a humble steel mill worker no longer. He was, in fact, a mildly radioactive block of solid steel.
His friends, however, decided that he was a superhero, and that being a vaguely humanoid blob of steel was his superpower. They used him to fight crime, mostly by dropping him off things onto criminals. He was then recruited for the rock group of Baron Mondo, a figure who will require his own writeup.
Treant: Johnny Ironiclastname, an odd-job worker, was chainsawing down a tree in a client's yard when the chainsaw slipped, severing his right arm. He raced into the house, spraying blood, there was shouting, he was screaming, there was a bit of confusion ("THE TREE! THE TREE! I NEED A SURGEON! CALL A DAMN SURGEON! THAT DAMN TREE!") and the homeowner ended up accidentally calling a tree surgeon. The tree surgeon walked in, and, in the chaos, the confusion, the blood and the shouts of "REATTACH THE LIMB! THE LIMB!" he did the best he could under the circumstances and attached the severed tree to the man's stump.
The man, blinded by pain and confusion, basically went insane. He sought out a voodoo practitioner and paid her 150$ to animate the tree into a living, sentient limb under his control. He then launched into a wave of crime, because, well, it seemed like the thing to do.
Cannoneer: Cannoneer's name is a bit misleading. His real powers have little to do with his signature cannon. Cannoneer is the son of a dryad, an earth spirit who's essence is bound to a tree and who lives in a sort of symbiotic relationship with it. His father, however, was a Miami travel agent. The child was born in Florida. When he was 6 years old, he started noticing that whenever he turned around, there was this palm tree, standing nearby. This freaked him out, and when he pointed it out to his father, his father explained the child's...unusual...circumstances. Essentially, the tree was bound to the child, and would follow him around whenever nobody was looking. It was not sapient, or magic, or anything--it only had two powers. Firstly, it would always try to follow him around, even when not on soil. Secondly, it would always, always, always save his life. This latter power was tested when at the age of 16, the tree caught a bullet for him in an incidental gang shooting. Cannoneer decided that his gift, dubious as it was, was to be shared with mankind. His schtick involves launching himself out of a cannon towards his enemies. His palm tree will always break his fall, and will prevent projectiles from hitting him. As you might imagine, it looks a little beat-up at this point, but thankfully nobody has thought to use fire yet.Last edited by Rutskarn; 2009-02-01 at 12:43 PM.
