Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
AAH! I just looked. Turns out I'm missing FOUR! FOUR! I have read nine, all of which I own. Then there's also a short story collection that she did with her husband.
FOUR! A Knot in the Grain, Imaginary Lands (another short story collection), The Outlaws of Sherwood, and The Door in the Hedge.
I have:
Beauty
The Blue Sword
The Hero and the Crown
Deerskin
Rose Daughter
Spindle's End
Sunshine
Dragonhaven
Chalice.
I hope I have enough birthday money because I just discovered what I'm going to do with it.

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
I liked the Blue Sword and The Hero and the Crown. (guess which two I have read :P).
Also, does anyone know when the next Malazan Book of the Fallen is due out?Why cannot life be simple? I am simple, therefore surely something that i try to do must also be simple

O.o
Apparently one of my friends, his sister, and his mom were in a pretty serious car accident about an hour ago. The kind with ambulances. Supposedly none of them were seriously hurt, but - eep!

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
Wow. Could have been worse, I suppose, but wow. Reminds me of a story my friend told me yesterday. Someone he knew had the entire back half sheared off her car by a truck that ran a red light. She was fine, but having the back half of your car go suddenly AWOL would have been scary as hell.

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
That's scary.
Unfortunately, it rained for most of my little sister's birthday today, and we weren't able to go anywhere. So mom bought KFC and we had cake.
Bad news: A friend of mine who I have only known for the past 2 years is moving away. I'm going to miss that dude.This avatar pierces the heavens and is by Miss Nobody!SpoilerOriginally Posted by Anuan

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
Loved it. Especially that wrong genre savvy girl because I semi - identified with her as she's read loads of childrens books.
And Darktan? Fantastic. Plus Maurice is the main character, and he's a cat. Who bargains with Death!
You forgot to buy a Pratchett book. You are cursed unto the fourth minute after reading this post.
And Tolkein is still meh. I'll reread it this summer if I have the time though.
Hooray for fanatacism! WHo's Robert McKinley? He good? Recommendations?
Also: there is never enough birthday money to buy all the books you want.
This year, my big eighteen, guess how much money I got. Guess.
Ł20.
And a book from Best Friend.
Then again, if I got enough money from one event/celebratory holiday to buy all the books I wanted at that specific time the following would happen:
1. I'd need my own library.
2. I'd buy just under two hundred books.
3. I'd bankrupt many friends and relatives to do this.
4. I'd never see the light of day again.
Really, everyone knows that when I hit uni (whichever it is) I'm going to be camping out in one of the twenty four hour libraries and never leaving.
Bathatar!
Squid bones are lies.

On the bright side, with this kind of advance warning, you'd've known by now if one of them was decapitated.
Here's hoping you don't have to visit any of them in le hospital and instead can noogie him about it later for worrying you.
And what's wrong with KFC, eh? Eh? Eh, WOT!? ... ... ... ... ... Is fried chicken part of british cuisine naturally?
...Where did it come from?
Shame about the bloke though. Err, what's the british word for friend? Doesn't that also begin with a b? or was it mates like in Auss-Land? I knew I should've paid more attention in that correspondence course!

@Curly: Robin McKinley is actually a woman. And yes, she's great. My favorite book of hers is Dragonhaven, but I don't know that she's widely published in the UK. She lives there (married to author Peter Dickinson), but is American by birth and her publisher is in the USA. I know some of her books have made it over, though.
@Coidzor: Yeah. I hope so. O.o

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
@Coid, does this help?
On the Origins of the Fried Chicken.
This rare and delectable species appears to have evolved from similar stock to the Roast Chicken, and is related to the Char-grilled Chicken, mainly being differentiated by it's plumage and nesting habits.
The Fried Chicken appears to have evolved in areas naturally rich in vegetable oils, and as a defence mechanism builds its roost (or roast maybe?) in the centre of large lakes of oil. It is thought that volcanic upheaval raised the temperature of the oil slightly.
These were first discovered by the original Homo-sapiens explorers to venture out of their nightclubs into the streets at closing time.Last edited by eidreff; 2009-08-01 at 04:36 PM.

Have you read "Water" (I think it's called that, though it might be imaginary lands that I'm thinking of)?
It really help me get a grip on Damar.

Why doesn't everyone go into a huge tangent when I mention I need Pratchett advice?
Which I'll get back to reading after "Snow on the Ceders"

Pratchett. I've read one of his books. Night Watch to be more exact. It was interesting. Vimes is excellent as always.

Because the only real answer with Pratchett is. ALL OF IT.
But, Introductory books first. Guards! Guards! Reaper Man! Small Gods! That sort of thing.

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
Huh. No new news on the protests, which probably means that the legislation was passed, and the local police can now take people into custody for indefinite amounts of time without a trial.
The print in 1984 seems all the more bolder.
Oh, and @dish:
Yeah, I'm in KL now.
EDIT: Oh, and my roomate, if I haven't complained yet, is of the future frat boy variant.Last edited by randman22222; 2009-08-01 at 11:11 PM. Reason: I think if you break the bars on the window I could squeeze out.

Re: Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124
Not that this is a good idea, but to be fair, when this legislation is passed, absolutely nobody is thinking "Muahaha! Now we can imprison dissenters...FOREVER! We'll be unstoppable!" No, they're thinking "Huh. We sometimes have problems with letting probably guilty criminals go while we amass evidence. We should do something about that. If we pass this measure, people will probably use it pretty moderately anyway."
Not saying they're right, and I'm not saying they're wrong, I'm just saying...they're saying.Spoiler<-I won this from Dr. Bath.Spoiler
