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

[Player_Zero]

A mixture of bitter anger and wacky insanity.

You should write this book. I demand it.

I'faith, n'uncle. Thou art more full of demands, than a martlebury is of mizzensails!

But since I don't have an idea for a book suitably unique it's moot.

The idea's the thing, wherein to capture the conscience of the... Reader.

[Rutskarn]

What do you think a book written by me would turn out like?

It would be so starched with detached irony that the pages would smell of cigarette smoke and berets.

[Coidzor]

Course materials, you dear, silly, child. The texts of english and history and whatever other courses you've signed up for.

Speaking of which, what courses have you signed up for?

DeeRee: At least you actually, y'know, can write stuff at the moment. I wish I could get 62 pages of any novel written...

Hah. And here I thought she was referencing finding herself slogging through a sextet of previously written books that she was reading.

Well, this changes things.

haha.

Deary: Finish up this one in time for november and then get through the second one in November, for all of us here at the Playground.

[Player_Zero]

It would be so starched with detached irony that the pages would smell of cigarette smoke and berets.

Oh you're just saying that because I starch things with detached irony. You know, bed sheets, clothes, large stretches of linen lying about the place...

I'm sure it'd be a light, heart-warming tale for the family.

[Coidzor]

What British animals are left to write childrens' tales about though?

Seems to be rather tapped out.

Jackanapes.

Wait, there aren't any Wombles around either but they've got books.

[Dragonrider]

Course materials, you dear, silly, child. The texts of english and history and whatever other courses you've signed up for.

Speaking of which, what courses have you signed up for?

Core Freshman seminar (involving much literature and philosophy discussion, I'm told; required for all majors). Intermediate Spanish. Ancient Roman History. Cultures of Premodern Europe.

I can't get my course materials yet, as I don't know what's required. Presumably I will be given a list before school actually starts.

If it were books I could get them done easy in the next week, let alone two and a half. But I shall most certainly do my best to finish it by November...I recall starting one around this time of year in '08 and it was completed a couple weeks before WriMo.

[Quincunx]

They say every woman wants to have two men--one to cook and one to clean. I'm willing to make allowances for a third. Someone's got to tend to the laundry.

(scampers away with the swathes of starched linen)

Player_Zero's book will suffer a kinder fate than rubakhin's, for if when he writes a book, the Finns will use it for rifle practice.

[Player_Zero]

Then war upon Finnland! I will make my book a battle journal of their conquest!

Let's see them ban THAT!

[Dr. Bath]

Wouldn't laundry fall under the purview of the cleaning man? You wouldn't want him at a loose end make a nuisance of himself.

ION: I found my fossils! Woo! Score one hadrosaur bone.

[Phaedra]

Jackanapes.

Wait, there aren't any Wombles around either but they've got books.

I personally think the Wombles books would be vastly improved by the addition of some irony and bitterness. The state of Wimbledon Common must have destroyed all Uncle Bulgaria's hope in the state of mankind by now.

A grimdark Wombles is just what this world needs!

When all the world is in ruins they will pick up the pieces that folks left behind, skulls, bone, ashes and all.

[Phaedra]

Brilliant! A grimdark Wombles is just what this world needs!

When all the world is in ruins they will pick up the pieces that folks left behind, skulls, bone, ashes and all.

I demand half the royalties you make from writing this dystopic vision of the wombles' future

[Player_Zero]

I'm not actually going to write that though. It would make an amusing short story to be published on the internet, but that is no book.

Anything can be a book if you don't have any desire for it to be good. Who'll be laughing when I publish that story myself, hmmm?


Probably still you, 'cause I'll have wasted hours of my life on writing rubbish, but still.

[Dogmantra]

Hmmm... has anyone seen a BLU spy around here recently?

[Coidzor]

Wait a minute... Dogmantra doesn't smoke! He's underaged!

But which one would you humiliate nightly? Or would it alternate?

Do people actually still starch things?

[Rutskarn]

No?





Then we've still got a problem.

[Player_Zero]

BLU Scout.
Opened briefcase.
Found Dracula.

[Rutskarn]

RED Scout.

Lost Dracula.

[Player_Zero]

Lost Dracula.
Opened briefcase.
Hit by train.

[Dogmantra]

Wait a minute... Dogmantra doesn't smoke! He's underaged!

I had a dream where I started smoking once. I justified it in that I only had one. That one cigaratte lasted four hours though, so I don't know what Dream-Me was thinking...

[Coidzor]

Blu scout is a robot. AGAIN!~

hahahahaha. Oh goodness. priceless.

[Player_Zero]

So, anyone have any awesome book ideas?

[Hell Puppi]

Yes, unfortunately, about 50.

They're all competing with one another for time and space

[Phase]

An exploration of a man's twisted psyche, in which the protagonists encounter towns of cannibalistic melons, a freudian chamber, and a locked of door that is repressed memories, among other things.

Call it "Inside Hebert's Head."

[eidreff]

What British animals are left to write childrens' tales about though?

Seems to be rather tapped out.

The death watch beetle, the chaffinch and the weevil appear under-represented to me.

[Coidzor]

^: Death Watch Beetle?

... I'm imagining a scottish beetle wearing a blood-stained Black Watch plaid kilt now.

Yes, unfortunately, about 50.

They're all competing with one another for time and space

Russian Roulette/gladiatoral tournament between the lot of 'em.

Hmm... is 50 possible to be dealt with using a bracket.

First round... 25 bouts hmm... yeah, after that it gets complicated to figure out who has to sit out.

In other news, I've finally requested a custom avatar. Let's see if anyone takes me up on it.

Otherwise, you'll probably have to bear looking at my Tesla-spouting mug for another fair whiles.

[Phase]

Okay, I have a writing assignment I should be doing, but I also want to play Deus Ex. Quite the dilemma...

[Coidzor]

Isn't that game older than you are?

Also. What is thine writing assignment?
