The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116

[Neko Toast]

I won't say that iced tea is bad, as it seems to upset people here.

I will say that I don't care for iced tea. What has iced tea ever done for me? Nothing, really.

Ah, but are you from the land of sweetened ice tea that doubles as humming bird feed? Or from the land of... random iced tea with no sweetness at all, if you're lucky enough to find iced tea to begin with?

That would probably be the biggest determinate factor in whether you enjoyed such things.

Iced tea IS bad! It killed my parents and forced me to watch old episodes of crappy situational comedies that should never have been written and which are all clones of the same tired idea used over and over!

[Rutskarn]

The joke's on all of you. I just hate tea in general.

A good hot steaming cup of tea in the morning can be the difference between a good day and a bad day sometimes.
Also, The Beatles are awesome, but you already knew that.
Anyway, how are you all on this wonderful day?

[Lyesmith]

I dont like the beatles much.
In fact, I prefer Katy Perry.

With that incendiary comment, who wants to hear about the needlessly drama-filled day I experienced?

[Rutskarn]

Also, The Beatles are awesome, but you already knew that.

Meh.

(As if the British needed another reason to hate me.)

Katy Perry can sing well, I'll admit that, but she isn't my favourite singer in the world.
Also, why not, do tell about your drama-filled day.
*Sits down and listens intently*

Meh.

(As if the British needed another reason to hate me.)

We don't hate you, at least I don't. *Thumbs up*

My mood is being greatly improved by listening to Jailhouse Rock by the Blues Brothers, I was feeling pretty good to begin with as well.

[Player_Zero]

Meh.

(As if the British needed another reason to hate me.)

Why, what did you do to me? I KNEW I shouldn't've let you pick up my drink from the bar...

[Coidzor]

Spew away, M. Aziraphale, Spew away.

Hmm... the rampant acts of the provocateurs in this area remind me of my friend in Washington who keeps putting up facebook statuses to get people to argue with him. Like saying that brunettes all look the same and redheads can't go to the beach because they burn too easily. Ended up with a 40+ comment maelstrom that he just waded into happily.

Rather interesting that. The fellow was rather interesting to begin with, but.... That just takes it to a whole new level, ya know?

[Haruki-kun]

Meh.

(As if the British needed another reason to hate me.)

*pat pat*

Yeah, I know the feeling of being a musical preference minority.

Now now. You can't discriminate against all iced tea just because that one caused you great pain in the past.

Coidzor - I don't know what the difference is between those two lands, but truly I tell you: I don't care for any iced tea.

Edited

@V: I'm sorry, did you say California? I'm pretty sure you meant California when you said that.

[Coidzor]

Coidzor - I don't know what the difference is between those two lands, but truly I tell you: I don't care for any iced tea.

Sorry, I forgot that you were from Wisconsin. That explains everything. ...I'm sorry.

Terribly silly place, after all. Full of cheese that gets turned into... things which are not cheese in order to be shipped around the country. Wait, I meant Terrifying place, that's the ticket...

I'm gonna... go.... shudder now... as the true horror has yet to hit me.

Edit: oh wait, sorry, that was vomit...

Something funny in the water in this building... I think...

You don't usually get sick from not having eaten anything, do you? Yup... definitely only had that glass of water... hmm...It did taste a bit funny...

I'm-a get sommat to eat just in case that was the problem though.

Umm. I had a point somewhere, but I kinda forgot it.

So, let's just say I was commenting on the Mason-Dixon line and the essential difference in Iced tea outlook between northerners and southerners.

^: Wisconsin, California... Suffice to say they fall outside of the one region.

Also... Owie...

[Quincunx]

Could be the water. Could be norovirus. In any case, if the water tastes off, at least let the tap run for awhile before filling a glass to make sure it's not going to go any more 'off'. How glad I am that they are no longer pouring concrete downhill and that I don't have to taste the water to make sure it's not going to turn brown in the next few gallons.

Also, a belated thank you to the people diagnosing my posts. I dialed back the vocabulary and while I've gotten another misunderstanding (from someone on my wavelength, no less), that was after a few days without any.

Wait. Water, construction, antiquated piping, drains, THE SCREWDRIVER! That's what I needed the screwdriver for, removing the drain covers! . . .Still doesn't tell me where said screwdriver is, but it's a start!

[Coidzor]

stomach virus is going around these parts...

Hmm. Do you have a tool box or tool kit of some sort?

The screwdriver is always in the last place you look. Sod's law dictates that it must be so.
How are you anyway?

[CurlyKitGirl]

You can't die yet because no one has yet made a good Discworld movie.

Two (technically three) books have been made into films. Whether they're good or amazing or bad is up to individual opinion.
I leave it to the public to decide what it is I think about them.

Now!
Who wants to hear about my day?
Noone!
But you're going to anyway.

French (first) was cancelled so it was a swipe and go. Second was a lesson, but Classics lecturer went home ill after five, ten minutes. Third we made comic strips of III, ii of Malfi. Fourth was a video and fifth was writing dirty, dirty limericks in IPA.
Basically, I didn't engage my brain until the bus home when I read iv of Paradise Lost.
Best part though?
When the Cool Classics CLub discovered they were chucking out all the texts from the previous two Classics syllabi. They let us take whatever we wanted home.
So I am now the proud owner of:
Lattimore's poetic translation of Homer's Iliad and
Three Aeschylus playsincluding Prometheus Bound.
I was contemplating getting the poetic Lattimore translation of the Odyssey, but I couldn't remember which one I had at home. So I may be picking up the Odyssey and possibly being let keep the Aeneid after the course is done.
This has been a most excellent day.

Good for you. I'm glad someone else has had a good day today too.
I've also got Blues Brothers in the background, they put a smile on my face.
*Bursts into song*
Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (sugar to kiss)
I'll stop now.
The weird thing is, I don't have a reason for having a good week, I just felt really optimistic and full of energy Tuesday evening and I'm still feeling the same.
*Thumbs up*

[Dragonrider]

current song playing:

I love you
Though the tide may change
and mountains turn into sand
I love you
Till the very same
come back to the land
I love you
And the song that I sing
Is the only way I can explain

Only it's the live version, so the lyrics are completely screwed up and what I just wrote down is from the album version.

Cat Stevens by any chance?
Now I'm thinking whether I should put more Blues Brothers, some Heavy Metal or some Beatles on next. Hmmmmmm, descisions descisions.
Made my descision, First Revolution by The Beatles, then We Will Rock You, then Bohemian Rhapsody, then Blind Man by Black Stone Cherry, then Iron Maiden, then more Blues Brothers, then Steppenwolf, then ACDC.

Hey Kaelaroth, how are you today?

Status: Currently on Bohemian Rhapsody.

[Kaelaroth]

Hey Kaelaroth, how are you today?

I'm fine. Just dandy. Peachy. Rotting fruit. Mellow. A touch wan, perhaps. As cold as the icy skies outside. Like raindrops.

[Fredthefighter]

Why are you speaking in a very small font?
Also, I'm detecting sarcasm for some reason, maybe I'm being paranoid.
Something wrong?

[Kaelaroth]

Tonight, I'm feeling very, very, very small.

[Fredthefighter]

Tonight, I'm feeling very, very, very small.

Ah, any particular reason for that?

[Kaelaroth]

There's a reason for everything. But you're not privy to everything, no matter how many huskies you own or how many dans you achieve. The genitive absolute is easy-squeezy-peasy. Now. To midnight, I shall flee.

Song of the moment: Zero to Hero - Hercules

I didn't mean to seem invasive, I was just worrying is all.

Song of the moment: Zero to Hero - Hercules

Best song of the entire movie by far.
I'm currently on a more heavy metal runway here, Iron Maiden: Two Minutes to Midnight.
Trying to decide between putting Bohemian Rhapsody back on or to put Blues Brothers on after I'm done listening to Iron Maiden.
OOH! I just had an idea, Led Zeppelin, Stairway to Heaven! Yes, I'll put that on after Iron Maiden, then The Rolling Stones!

[Phase]

Status: Happy
Reason: Just got the katana to compliment my Dr. McNinja costume
Holy crap, really?: Shut up, status bar.

Okay, so it's only wood, but my mom wouldn't let me get a sharp metal one. Suffice to say that it will still strike fear into the hearts of infectious diseases everywhere!
