Admiral Euphoria's Random Banter Thread of Delusional Grandeur #124

[Rutskarn]

It appears I have 21 webcomics bookmarked. That seems about right.

I don't bookmark most of them, but I'm sure I read at least 30 or 40.

[Coidzor]

Doesn't count. We've got Washington, remember? Six Feet, Twenty, ****ing killing for fun.

Oh yeah. Anyone have any suggestions for what sort of vitamin/mineral deficiencies would be especially appropriate for a creepy guy to taste and comment upon after licking either his blood after someone slashes him or the blood of someone else after he has slashed them?

So far I've been thinking the obvious Vitamin K and Iron bits... But I was wondering what you, the playground would think. Or where the heck to ask such a question better..... or how to phrase it so it not so wonky.

ION: Pettanko is a weird sounding word.

Quickly! Posters of the Playground! I need a third point for my essay! I'm doing it on "Law is different to Justice" and I need a third point on which to write 250 words.

Urm. No idea. How about:
Law is real, Justice doesn't exist in this modern world where everyone is cynical.

Coidzor: You are a very weird person. Thankyou for being you.

[billtodamax]

Well it's a good point and all, but my other points kinda rely on justice existing.

It would help if you told us what you already had. And what level of school the essay is for. Oh well, here's a suggestion from a sleep-deprived high schooler.

I would say that the intention of justice is to give a person the punishment or reward that they deserve for their actions, where as law gives a person the punishment or reward that is given to them by the rules. Law can be written for different purposes. Justice is one, but vengeance or "the greater good" is another. Justice, in my mind, is more about the individual being judged, and less about what the rules say. The rules might be written to favour any person(s), but justice is about the one whose actions are on trial.

I'm...I'm not entirely sure if those last sentences make sense. I think they do.

Edit:

Well, what can actually be tasted? That's what I would consider first. If somebody licked their blood and said "My, that tastes a bit off. There's almost no Vitamin K today.", I wouldn't think "CREEPY." I'd think "Bull****."

Salt can most definitely be tasted, but it's also incredibly obvious. Everybody knows blood is salty. It would be like eating chocolate and saying that it's sweet. Iron, maybe? Does blood taste metallic? I've tasted small bits of blood when I get a cut and don't have a cloth, but I can't remember if I could actually taste iron.

[billtodamax]

Hm... Yeah, I think that'd work if I put it in first and editted my other two paragraphs a little. Thanks Alteran! *Alteran Theme Music Plays*

Hmmmmmmm, well, I'm out of ideas.

Like government is not society from Common Sense?

So I've been reading Thomas Paine. Sue me.

[Recaiden]

The taste of iron is quite evident in blood. It's obvious, yeah, but tasting the degree of iron might be creepy.

[Coidzor]

Well, what can actually be tasted? That's what I would consider first. If somebody licked their blood and said "My, that tastes a bit off. There's almost no Vitamin K today.", I wouldn't think "CREEPY." I'd think "Bull****."

Really, the only reason I even thought of vitamin K would be a throwaway reference to blood clotting speed or the consistency of the blood rather than the taste, really. I'm pretty sure iron at least could be noticed if the usual tang wasn't there.

To me, blood usually tastes a bit like a salty penny, so maybe if there were a shortage of zinc...

Fred: *bows* I do so try my best to please.

I'm trying to think of whether this is a characteristic best given to a loose cannon former physician (in multiple senses) type or a depraved villain (also former physician) type.

As there's a definite reference to him recommending another character to cut back on the sweets and talk to his/her doctor about dietary changes that and any medications to help regulate the onset of diabetes. Due to that old sweet smelling/tasting urine trick.

But I haven't yet decided if he's just pulling that out of his ass to mess with him or if he'll actually have collected a sample.

[Alteran]

Hm... Yeah, I think that'd work if I put it in first and editted my other two paragraphs a little. Thanks Alteran! *Alteran Theme Music Plays*

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help.

Hmmm, what is my theme song? I need to consider this.

[Coidzor]

Currently I'm imagining the

OBJECTION!

theme music from Phoenix Wright playing for you, Alteran...

Ed: Great... Now I can't find the specific one that I'm thinking about...

[Alteran]

Currently I'm imagining the theme music from Phoenix Wright playing for you, Alteran...

Okay, that's pretty cool. If I become a superhero, that will be one theme song I consider.

Wait, what am I saying? I'm already a superhero, of course!


Edit: Rutskarn, time for the beginning of the end?

Edit again:

Ed: Great... Now I can't find the specific one that I'm thinking about...

Not this one, then?

[Phase]

I can't sleep. Someone (other than Coidzor. Remember what happened last time.) give me some advice.

[Alteran]

Alright, I've decided. This is my theme song.


Edit:

I can't sleep. Someone (other than Coidzor. Remember what happened last time.) give me some advice.

Don't sleep. Stay up all night, and then go to bed at a normal/early time tomorrow. Hopefully that will set your sleep schedule right(ish). I've never actually done this (so no guarantees of success), but it's an interesting idea.

[Recaiden]

I can't sleep. Someone (other than Coidzor. Remember what happened last time.) give me some advice.

Sorry. I'm only here because I can't get to sleep. Drain some of your blood to cause unconsciousness? That's actually a terrible idea that you shouldn't try. Eat milk and bread?

EDIT: You're a pokemon? And here'd be what's probably mine.

[Alteran]

Sorry. I'm only here because I can't get to sleep. Drain some of your blood to cause unconsciousness? That's actually a terrible idea that you shouldn't try.

Yeah, especially since you'd have trouble controlling the flow of blood once you've passed out.

[Fredthefighter]

Ram your head off of a wall until you fall unconcious onto your bed? Drink some warm milk?
Please ignore the first suggestion.


Alteran: That is one of most awesome theme songs you could've chosen. This one is mine.

[Coidzor]

Not this one, then?

Nope. I'm-a PM you for the NSFW curse words in the bit I have found. I've heard it in other phoenix wright things but this is the only one I could find this time around where I was seeking it.

Phase: I am wounded. Do antihistamines pep you up instead? or do you just not have any warm water/milk?

ouch... headache time....x.x

Also, I love that pokemon song far more than I should. Both of them.

My theme song.

[billtodamax]

Maybe starve yourself of oxygen somehow... Aren't we just full of great ideas?

[Alteran]

This one is mine.

I almost chose that one.

My theme song.

Okay, that's also awesome.

[Coidzor]

Okay, that's also awesome.

It has its drawbacks though. As about half the time, certain portions of this song by the Divinyls () comes on instead, someone throws something at my head, usually a shoe or a book. But sometimes something more dangerous, such as a TANK! (no, not that kind of Tank, though that would be nice...) ...it was rather embarrassing getting my rabies shots after that...

And then there's a more or less obligatory chase scene unless one wants to end up in the clutches of the dimension of rejected extras from that music video. And in the 80s.

Makes for annoying time travel segues to nab the ones we care about back.

[FoE]

You know, I'm creeped out by those freaky Lazy Town puppets, but GODDAMN IT that Cooking by the Book song is catchy.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Damn, FoE, I know you're evil....but Lazy Town?

I'm disgusted...

[Thanatos 51-50]

Woo! Earthquake! Busy tiem nao!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Woo! Meet-up! Busy tiem nao!

[FoE]

I'm not advocating watching it! But that Stephanie's voice is hypnotic ... Can't stop listening ... Free will slipping away ... Got to ... Got to do the cooking by the book ...

Woo! Earthquake! Busy tiem nao!

Congratulations on your natural disaster!

[Phase]

At least it's a not that pirate song. That thing invades your mind like an infernal parasite, eating away at your cortexes for higher thought and leaving only despair.
