Curly's Rambunctious and Erudite Random Banter #140

[Lyesmith]

Wow, join-date huh? I feel Old.

[Kobold-Bard]

That's because you are

[Lyesmith]

In truth I had an account long, long before this. Lost the email and the password, barely remember the name. Mostly just lurked, though.

[Nameless]

Yes, the Mental Age comment was related to myself.

By the way Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire thank you for the incredibly uncomfortable scene of Moaning Myrtle hitting on Harry. And the incredibly unnecessary minute long shot of her leaning on his shoulder to ramp up the creepiness.

Yes, it was awkward. Why am I watching this? I have it on DVD.

[Quincunx]

There's no help for it, Coidzor. We live in purer and less hopeful times, where our young ones cherish linear thinking, and do not flit through the woods on hot nights on mushroom hunts. No one is as beautiful in the glow from a full-sized monitor as they are under moonlight.

And CurlyKitGirl is to be licked because the choice lies between us, and her thoughts were bumbling low like sunken waterlogged wood on the stream, weighted down with erudition, where I was drifting, dragging, bumping against the ceiling on music overlaid over the spoken word, difficult to reach. I am a post-Jonestown child and cannot believe in Sun Ra, but I have learned how to rise without belief.

I feel so ashamed of myself. V.V

How about flitting off to the woods on hot nights with a couple crates of alcohol to go star gazing under clear skies while camping illegally?
All the cosmos stretched above you...
S'good to be home.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

Ah, erudite random banter, is it? This is just the thread for me! I shall proceed to banter randomly, to improve the status of mankind! Or at least, to improve the forum through my contributions.

[Quincunx]

(WHOMP!) Ah. Hello, floor. This means I have to use my legs for locomotion again, doesn't it.
Someday I will learn how to descend slowly and gracefully from these flights of fancy. (Hey, when it's a self-generated psychedelic train of thought--unhook the conversational controls and let the brain proceed untrammeled, as though dreaming--is that not a definition of fantasy?)

Strange to say, star-gazing wasn't something I ever loved. Yes, they're pretty and sparkly and all, but more useful as metaphors than as something to look at and admire, and not just because I can maybe find Orion on a clear night if I'm lucky. Better to lose myself in the depths of blue in a cloudless daytime sky. . .and that in lower latitudes than here, the colors aren't as rich here.

[Pyrian]

You're in Ireland. You're supposed to lose yourself in the greens and the Guinness.

[Coidzor]

^: And by that they mean get stuck in the bushes with your SO and make babies.

How they propose one to get out again, I dinnae ken. Perhaps sobering up is all that's needed.

other than the old wives tales that are about licking toads to cure disease, no.

hey, I cant help it.

A reference to drug culture of some period or another. Let's assume the 1970s. For more information about the idea, consult your friendly, internet Wiki.

I have. I'm just curious as to why you want to lick Curly?

<_< What Quincunx said, plus I was a tad peckish at the time. That, and it seemed like something no one had ever really pondered before.

Now that I've had a ham sandvich, I'm reconsidering the act and find it more amusing than nourishing.

[Recaiden]

Apart from Terry Pratchett.

No. Everything. Even Sir Terry Pratchett.

Other than the strangest urge to lick Curly like she was a toad.

You mean everyone doesn't get that?


But moonlight is so impractical. There's a time for the both.

Nonsense. LED light can be haunting, in the right circumstances, and questing for knowledge can be as enriching as scrabbling about for fungus.

Last time I tried that, I was a third of the way to Blarney before realizing I'd missed my turn. It was a long walk home.

[Player_Zero]

Stargazing is totally better than looking at the sky. Not just for the novelty but for the thought provocation inherit from considering astrological distances and times.

....that is the weirdest thing i've learned today. Thanks. O.O

[Pyrian]

EDIT: ^ Playground FTW!

Hmm. I guess there are distinct advantages to getting lost without actually moving. That way, you're neither lost nor far away when you come to.

I've spent time in your home, now you should spend time at mine.
On a clear night, you can see everything at Swanton Morley Falls, provided the land owner doesn't catch you.

[Rutskarn]

Can I come in your house? You've been in my house.

I don't stargaze much. Again, call me unromantic, but they're kind of just white dots. The moon's nice, though--all the fine details on it, plus all the astronomical significance of the other celestial bodies. I don't mind just sort of taking a gander at that one.

[KnightDisciple]

I'm not a big "stargazer" per se. I do like clear nights, because I like looking at the whole picture. The overall beauty of a clear night sky.

The moon looks really cool when it's only halfway up the horizon, looks huge, and has that nifty golden tint to it.

[Player_Zero]

I don't like the moon so much. It judges me so.

[Jibar]

Can I come in your house? You've been in my house.

Yes you may. My mother makes the most wonderful cookies, we can share some while we discuss literature and I make you play console games.
I must acquire that cookie recipe from her at some point actually. I must bake more when I move into my new house.

[Rutskarn]

I don't like the moon so much. It judges me so.

It should. You are wanting in the moon's eyes.

Can I come to your house? I promise I won't knock on the door and punch you in the face when you answer.

Mother-cookies are always delicious.

What an odd thing to promise. I generally consider that to be implied when I ask to go to someone's house. Maybe I'm just too trusting...

-----------
Comparing different filmed takes on the Nazis, critical review of Cathy Comes Home and memorising the fall of Soviet Communism. Fun weekend ahead

[Coidzor]

Sounds busy.

What's that one about the Cathy thing though? Seems like one of those things is not like the others...

Need to review one of the films we wached during the module. Cathy Come Home is the easy option because it's so easy to write about.

Depends how much Mother they've got in them.

Well thank you kindly. Likewise to the rest.

Well huh, it seems my food really is problematic...
