Pyrian's Pyrotechnic Pyre of Pyrrhic Pyros with Pyrotic Pythics Random Banter #132!

[Destro_Yersul]

Don't worry Dessy, I'm not really going to be married. 'Tis just pretend, but I feel the same way when I hear my old schoolfriends are pregnant/fathers. Freaky stuff.

I blame it on the time here. It's 10AM, and I haven't slept since... 2PM yesterday. Had me worried for a second there.

and oh man, pregnant... There was one girl I knew from high school. Spoke to her recently, she's a mother now. I'm certainly not ready to be a parent. Heck, I've only just become ready for an actual relationship. I kinda skipped dating all through high school.

Tower of London's pretty much a given, but I, or probably a lot of native Londoners, could give the same tour for free.

I watched a special on the tower once. Lot of history there. Very interesting place. If that be an offer, I may have to take ye up on it someday.

[Thufir]

Ah, you collegiate universities and your strange customs...

Also, by what Curly says, it seems I have never had a proper pasty. I feel my food knowledge is lacking.

Eh, 'twas planned to be surprising, I'm working on giving the parental units a heart attack.

Ditto. Sadly, no less than six girls from my year in secondary now have at least one child. No way I'd be ready for it, never even dated. Never even been asked out for that matter.

'Tis an offer indeed.
One day I plan to go on a haunted tour of Britland just visiting haunted places and things. 'Twill be good fun.

[Icewalker]

Yep, I can relate to that. I know someone who got pregnant mid-high school...I, also, am quite far off such things as with most others here. No real relationships.

To be fair, we are frequenting a tabletop roleplaying forum, so perhaps it's to be expected.

[Thufir]

I know of one girl who was in my school year and one girl a year or two younger than me who now have baby daughters. It's a bit weird.
I think there may well be more, but they're primarily drawn from the people who I wanted nothing to do with, so I remain unaware...

ION: My culinary adventures continue to work. I keep coming up with these weird ideas, I'm sure soon I'll make something that tastes terrible, but it hasn't happened yet.

If your parental units are anything like mine, this'll probably do the trick

Oh my. I only know the one that I can think of, though a number of others have been married. I've technically dated, but it was an online thing. Alas, distance, the bane of my existence. And while I've never been asked out, I think that might be because I'm a guy. Society puts it on me to ask first.

'Tis an offer indeed.

Most excellent. Should I ever be up around your neck of the woods, I'll call this one in. I love reading about and visiting haunted places. It fascinates me. Apparently we have a number here in Canada, though nowhere near the mass of them you've got over there.

[Thufir]

This thing I have created. It is delicious, but I cannot eat it quickly or in large amounts => it will last me quite a while, thus saving my precious limited student monies. I am clearly some sort of latent instinctive culinary genius.

And now I must go to a G&S rehearsal. We're doing A British Tar today! Squeeeeee...

Mattel is releasing a Sugar Daddy Ken doll. Too random to post this anywhere else but here. Linky.

Heh, I like how Palm Beach's biggest complaint is he's portrayed as too young to be a real sugar daddy.

I'm not a collector, but if I ran across one at a decent price (say, maybe $30 instead of $80), I'd pick one up for a conversation piece.

That is... hillarious.

The dog's name is "sugar" and he's it's "daddy"

[CrimsonAngel]

Awww man, I signed up for an avatar the last airbender roleplaying sight and noones posted in over a year.

[DraPrime]

Hmmm, only a few more minutes until I leave to go to a concert. I feel so...impatient. Why can't time pass more quickly?

[Trobby]

Quick topic change!

I'm engaged!

::Reactionimage.jpg:: You are? :O Congratulations! ^w^ ((Yes I know it's a page late, I felt like replying anyway.))

In other news, even though I'll be able to post more once I'm gone, I'm really, really sad to leave...;-; It'll be another 1-3 months at least before I can see the love of my life again.

[Nameless]

Curly is wut now? OMGNOWAI!? :D

[Phase]

Relationships blah. I have no need for human interaction beyond those of my supplicating minions.

[Trobby]

;____;

*hugs* It's alright, mison. I will be strong, for the both of us.

Also Curly, DO TELL MORE. :3 Was it a romaaaaantic proposal? Did he do something silly and zany and stuff? :O Or maybe he hid it in some kind of food! Like a Creme Brulee! Is that it, Curly? Did he hide the engagement ring inside of a perfectly-formed Creme Brulee? ::heart:: How romantic~!

[Thufir]

Ah. I was hoping for your sakes that you were joking, but no, clearly you just didn't read the follow up:

Yep. College parenting system.

And Rutskarn.
I only write Godzilla shipping by the way.
*nurses his ship fics*

[Phase]

And Rutskarn.

*nurses his ship fics*

Well obviously Rutskarn, what with my totally manly, Y-chromosome, heterosexual bro-crush on him.

Oh, and Godzilla too, he's a stud-muffin.

When I ask my dad something like 'What is that?' or 'Who just called.', I don't wanna hear 'small' or 'someone'!!!

I feel for you.

[Anuan]

I'm reminded of asking my father what was for dinner as a child and getting "Poop on toast" as an answer. Yum yum, dad, my favorite.

Had we served up a Halloween feast, I had every intention of cutting the tops off of okra and serving it up as Giant Green Spider Abdomen with Eggs (although every care has been taken to remove legs and heads, some may remain), along with a webbed topping of the scum left over from cooking cheap pasta and perhaps the joints of an edible vine or two. The short hairs on the casing would have given the perfect little chill as one wondered what sort of spider comes with a hairy exoskeleton.

I bow to you, madame.

I'm left wondering why must I chase the cat....

Yesterday, I got my swine flu vaccine, and ironically, I've been sick ever since. I was in bed at 8:00 last night, and I didn't get out until 5:00 today. It's looking like tomorrow will probably be the same. Also, I have this weird thing where I am coughing whenever I stand up, but not when I sit down.

[Alteran]

That's not too surprising, it may be a direct result of the vaccine. We talked about this a little while ago, didn't we? I'll try to find that.

Here it is! We were talking about vaccines.

I don't believe that's quite it. It's not a weaker version of the disease, but a dead version. Your body recognizes the dead bacteria or viruses, so that when you're exposed again it'll be immediately prepared to fight off the infection. However, many symptoms of sickness are actually induced by your body to help fight off infection, or byproducts of that fight. The body may have a similar immune reaction to the vaccine, although if it does occur it shouldn't be as bad as it would be for a real infection. For some diseases, that would defeat the purpose of the vaccine.
Alteran is also not a medical doctor, and did not find references for this. It would be nice if somebody who is actually qualified can tell us what's exactly right, but I'm not sure if we have any people like that in RB. I seem to remember that somebody here has an advanced education in Biology? Is it Thes Hunter?

I find it surprising that your reaction to the vaccine would be so severe, but it's certainly possible. It could also be a coincidence, of course.

[Phase]

Ah, vaccines. Gorramn Plasmodium doesn't have the decency to stop reproducing long enough for vaccines to be effective, the stupid worm.

Ish about to head off to an epic 7 hour marathon laser tag session with 30~ friends. I would like to exclaim holy freaking awesome! On the flip side, not being able to literally feel my legs may be a downer...oh well, you gotta take the good with the bad. Holy freaking 7 hour laser tag!
