Perenelle's Pleasantly Playful and Passionately Peculiar Random Banter #133

[Alteran]

Is it that place north of Minnesota?

Well, it's one of the places north of Minnesota.

In Canada, cowboy hats are required westwards of Manitoba. Every American who knows where Manitoba is gets a cookie.

Not quite true. They're optional in BC.

[Hannes]

Cowboy hats are awesome! Especially with a leather coat.

And leather pants.
And cowboy boots.
And a pair of low-slung revolvers at your hips.
And a badass unkempt bristle.
And a cigarette.

Pure. Awesome.

So basically, being a cowboy is awesome?

[Cobra_Ikari]

So basically, being a cowboy is awesome?

Yes. Whereas cowgirls are either somewhat more adorable or somewhat more sexy. *nods srsly*

[EleventhHour]

Yes. Whereas cowgirls are either somewhat more adorable or somewhat more sexy. *nods srsly*

*collapses on sleepily*

Cowgirls? I was a cowgirl... for a bit...

[Cobra_Ikari]

Cowgirls? I was a cowgirl... for a bit...

D'aww. *carries to bed, tucks in*

You can be my cowgirl anyday.


I worked security at a rodeo once. Should've bought myself an awesome hat. Oh, well. =P

[Hannes]

What Cobra said. Also, I should clean my room.

I'll do it tomorrow...

[Jibar]

Wahahaha!
New router!
Internets!
Beautiful working internets!

The taps are dry and the guys with cars are disinclined to go down the hill to the nearer water distribution point. Wherever in the world I am, a cubic centimeter is a gram. . .

[Perenelle]

I have a white fedora. I should wear it more. It is awesome.

Ohmahgod, white fedora! *drool..*

Y'know, if you're trying to get us to play "Where in the World is Carmen San Diego" with you, you *so* need to give us better clues than that. Otherwise, I am deeply saddened that you are out of water, and further saddened that you have to use the metric system.

I'd give you a hug, but with how infrequently I frequent Random Banter, somehow I don't think that'd be kosher. So, just pretend, if you're so inclined.

Unrelated to above: I wish I'd just gone into Computer Science when I first went to college. If there's one sound I really do love, it's the sound of silence broken only by the whirr of multiple computers.

She's somewhere in Ireland. There's some kind of flooding there.

And the men don't want to get clean water from the distribution point and would rather do something-somemthing-something sodomy and the lash than get potable water.

[Jibar]

Quincunx...

Irish...

Does compute in a... round about way.
All I know is now I'll never be able to pull off my accent.

Probably not, as she's married to an Irishman and hears the real shebang all the time.

[CurlyKitGirl]

There is something frightfully British about my day today.

Just came back from my G&S rehearsal ('twas awesome); and I'm now sitting down in an easy chair at a solid wooden desk armed with tea and biscuits. And a jam sandwich.
I'm reading/skimming the following today: Villette (Charlotte Bronte), Wuthering Heights (Emily Bronte); Frankenstein (Mary Shelley) and The Picture of Dorian Gray. WHile listening to Queen.
It's also raining.
All I need is a monocle and top hat.

I need to go shopping too. And phone Best Friend.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Curly, since you probably didn't read back the pages.

Very good! I bought it at a fair for 10 euros at a bookstand....Ok, I'l be honest. It was the Tolkien shop.

But this is (very) different from Tolkiens style.

It's pretty much 730 pages of awesome, there was not one moment where I was bored or were tempted to skip pages or something like that.

The characters are simply marvelous and leave you wanting to read on.
--(there was quote here)--
Yes. Don't know how much you normally read, but it might be a bit long for ''normal'' people at around 730 pages.

Also, I'm so wanting to buy a hat. And friends also think fedora would look good on me.

Damn being poor!

Is there a double-decker bus passing you by at the moment? Are you wearing a shawl? Did I mention that Frankenstein is my absolute favorite classical monster book? Seriously, it's a genuinely compelling and intricate plot, with a monster that you can actually feel sorry for at certain points, while still being able to disdain him for his actions, and at the same time a protagonist who is entirely amoral but still protagonist by right of being a man who sacrifices his life to ensure the safety of others, yet still entirely loathable, maybe even moreso than his monster.

Er...British, right? Pip pip, cheerio and all that. *Folds a copy of "The Guardian" in half.*

[CurlyKitGirl]

I saw a double decker eariler; my shawl is at home; no you didn't, but I do enjoy Frankenstein too even if the narrative does get sidetracked by the ROmantic lanscape descriptions. It's also only about two hundred and twenty pages long, I thought it was longer.

I have eight books to read by tomorrow. Four of which are essays and things/ And I can't find an available Dracula.
Still, at least I've read four (technically five including Dracula) of them in the past year.

[Trobby]

How does Dracula stack up to Frankenstein? o.o I've never read it, but I know where I could get a copy if I were persuaded to start.

[SMEE]

I have been hunting Carmen Sandiego all day! Where is she?

[littlequietguy]

How does Dracula stack up to Frankenstein?

Dracula has dark powers whereas Frankenstein is just a mad scientist. If he had sufficient prep then I think he could build some sort of monster to fight for him.

Sorry, my mistake. How does the book Dracula stack up to the book Frankenstein?

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

I just made a map of Europe c. 1130! Wheee!

[Dallas-Dakota]

Pics or it didn't happen!

Though seriously, I would be very interested to see it!

[Quincunx]

No nonono, there are no native Irish living in this house; it's all immigrants of first world countries not renowned for mass emigration. I will not speak against any of them since they have realized all the implications of having no water in the house and fetched nearly 50 L of the stuff. I do love cars.

Also, I'm so wanting to buy a hat. And friends also think fedora would look good on me.

Damn being poor!

Hats are very cheap if your country has succumbed to the Walmart-like rot of Primark--I didn't yet find a model over 10 euro. Hats are. . .I shudder to say it. . .mainstream this winter.

What does it say about the state of my wardrobe that looking in Primark, clearinghouse of sweatshop-cheap clothing, solved a wardrobe detailing issue I've been wrestling with for a month?

[Dallas-Dakota]

I said you lived in Ireland, mainly because of timezones, which he wanted to know, me thinks. Now I should really stop overusing commas, shouldn't I?

Our supermarkets aren't really that big. And they don't sell hats.
And most hats on sale are fancy brightly-coloured lady hats.

Hats aren't mainstream here, atleast the kind like fedoras and tophats.
Other hats not that much either.

Waaant fedora.

Hmm, there is a very cool fedora on Markplaats(kinda like dutch version of e-bay) for 10 bucks. I could ship it for 6 bucks, but that'd mean I'd have to get pay-pall, etc. And considering I'm a minor...Blargh.
Train would cost 8 bucks.
18 bucks(the dude said in the sale profile that'd it'd be OK if the customer were to pick it up)

It looks good in the picture.

I should measure my head first though...

And then think about if I really can spent 18 bucks on it.
