Most people pronounce Chemistry Kemistry. I prefer not to.

Assassin Man Man Man: That still doesn't explain why you're wearing a haiwaiian shirt for a more or less formal, celebratory but reserved occasion?

Blame my Grandfather. He want all the men to wear these types of shirts.

As for pronouncing Chemistry, it is pronounced Kem'e stre.

[Alteran]

Well right now, I am wearing a Hawaiian shirt. Why am I wearing this you ask? I am to going to a family reunion that celebrates the 50th wedding anniversary of my grandparents soon, and by grandparents, I mean the ones who are not from Taiwan.

Have fun!

Also, I'm a bugbear now. Cool.

Good job. What comes after dwarf? Orc?

This post has all that info, but we're not really allowed to discuss it more than to link you to it.

I pronounce it subtle instead of suttle.
It isn't a mistake it's a statement!

*high five*
Pronouncing things the way they're spelled is my way of rebelling against people spelling things with extra letters.

[Coidzor]

Kemistry would just be an ugly word though, you have to admit that.

And Heckler and Koch just wouldn't have the same ring to it...

Family ruinions are "more or less formal," "reserved" occasions in your family? Chilling!

Both sides of my family are most likely to book a pavilion (or two) at a local park for an afternoon cookout, or set up shop at an all-you-can-eat-buffet type of place. Either way, family reunions are distinctly casual occasions.


... And Heckler & Koch always just bcomes "H&K" anyway.

Well, yeah. Smith and Wesson become S&W, but sometimes it just adds panache to speak their names fully for dramatic effect.

Well, that sounds nice. My family is a weird mix when it comes to the one family reunion we have. Most of the family is pretty relaxed but they're still all fancified in dress.

And there's a combination of a cookout and dinner at mama's house, although, none of my grandmothers' generation really is able to take on that role so they sort of share it between the womenfolk who are doing the cooking and presiding over it together.

I have to admit though, my grandma's kinda badass, actually. She still scares my dad and he's 6'3" and before I was born he was mostly muscle at about 240 lbs.

Actually, it's kinda weird. He wasn't really affected by the childrens being born like dads about half the time are until I was born. And then about 7 years later his thyroid went out of whack.

I am not quite sure whether I should feel guilty about this.

My mom's never been able to shed the weight of having children, even though lord knows she could spent more time investigating weight loss options and dieting than some of the other elective medical procedures she sought out.

Electrolysis still squicks me out as a word to this day.

[Rutskarn]

Not to mention that Smith and Wesson has the same amount of syllables as S&W.

Less, I think.

Smith and Wes son versus ess and dou ble you.

I think you just stumbled upon why Dubya was invented.

Also, H&K eventually becomes HK along the same lines of AK.

[Player_Zero]

I think I must've listened to the Muppet Christmas Carol opening song about Scrooge more than any other... Know all the words and everything...

Scrooge liked the cold; he was hard as sharp as a flint, secret and self-contained, as solitary as an oyster.

...Makes you want to become cruel moneylender and landlord just so you can torment muppets...

The song Jack sings from The Nightmare Before Christmas too.

Maybe I should become a melancholic skeletal Scrooge who steals Christmas...

[Phase]

Aren't you already?

[Player_Zero]

In real life I mean. Though I'm not so sure about the particulars of becoming skeletal or stealing Christmas. I guess the rest will have to surfice.

[Rutskarn]

Christmas has gotten much better security in recent years.

[Coidzor]

Well, after Bun-Bun ate it, it was kinda obligatory to ramp up the defenses..

[Rutskarn]

Still, locking the barn door after the arbitrary pseudo-religious celebration has escaped, don't you know?

[Cristo Meyers]

Remind me to kill the next person that starts talking about a Do It Yourself project...

...just spent the past 6 or 7 hours trying to lay some laminate flooring down. After much cursing, swearing, and a bit of bleeding we appear to have more or less finished.

Too bad we still have the rather large kitchen to also do...

[Coidzor]

Ah, there you are. I was beginning to wonder what had happened to you and Daddy Tooby.

So what kind of flooring was this again?

Also, does anyone have any ideas where to begin in installing a two story ladder from a deck down to ground level as a fire escape?

[Phase]

Fire escape? That's so Pre-Michael Bay. My building has a great big pane of breakaway glass in every apartment. Underneath, on the outside, is a large pool of water.

The panes are hooked up to a gas system. If there's a fire in the house, you jump out the window and a compartment is opened which makes the apartment explode behind you.

It's impractical, but cool.

I tried that once, but the contractors cut corners and installed break-proof plexiglass instead. I knocked myself silly against it and woke up to find out it was just a fire drill.

I think the reason why was because the contractors wanted the walls to last.

[Sneak]

Hey guys, guess what time it is!

Well, it's 12:36 AM.

But more importantly, it's our last time in Clerkenwell!

Why, it's the sequel to Bathtime in Clerkenwell, of course!

[billtodamax]

Both of those videos were awesome. Nice.

[Coidzor]

I am glad I never went to a big city highschool.

Sheesh. Even I knew about condoms before I got into highschool.

Also, I'm glad that idiots who can't speak plainly are relatively rare in my life these days.

[Destro_Yersul]

I've just spent the past two hours reading through roughly a third of the Troper Tales page on Crowning Moment of Heartwarming.

MANLY. TEARS.
