Curly's Rambunctious and Erudite Random Banter #140

[Rutskarn]

This morning, at 6:34 AM, I came full awake and said--and this is a direct quote--"But plastic is a very poor conductor of electricity."

Which wakes my roommate up, of course. That was fun to explain.

This morning, at 6:34 AM, I came full awake and said--and this is a direct quote--"But plastic is a very poor conductor of electricity."

Would you believe I once thought it would be interesting to see into your head for a few hours?
Kwwp saying things like that, and I might yet believe so again. Stop that.

In Other News:
Something quite interesting occurred yesterday. I went do to buy a video game. Not so interesting in and of itself, it was a 20 dollar game that just happened to be rated "M". Not that I had checked. I was, to my surprise, ID-checked. With an apologetic murmur, I produced the "Soft coy" of my Washington State ID, my Military ID having been confiscated at the time of my discharge from military service.
And this ID, which was sufficent enough to get me on a cross-country airplane flight AND let me sit at a bar in the airport as I waited, gets handed to the cashier.
"Do you have anything else?" She asks
"Still waiting for the MA one to arrive in the mail," I say.
"We can't take this, so you can't buy this," she says, chucking the game in a small hand-basket at her feet.
I shrug and move on with the other items I had purchased from said store.

It only struck me later what had just happened.
I got in a plane and could have gotten absolutely, smashingly drunk with it (I don't drink alcohol, though, so it's a moot point), but the stupid ID gets rejected when I try to purchase a video game.
The whole thing is delightfully, deliciously backwards.

Yeah, you don't want to be going there. Quincux and Rutskarn would be fascinating, but Zero and I would be a... nightmare.

ITV: "We bought these films rights so we are damn well going to use them!"
Not that that's a complaint or anything, because it means my night has now become delightfully Irish girl filled.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Yeah, you don't want to be going there. Quincux and Rutskarn would be fascinating, but Zero and I would be a... nightmare.

I'll bring a flashlight and an assault rifle. Everything would be fine.
Also: Irish chicks?
I'm a sucker for redheads.

[Kobold-Bard]

Irish girls in Harry Potter? I haven't seen them in ages, who is this?

[Coidzor]

Actually, that's the reason Quincunx moved to Ireland, funnily enough.

Me, I think I'd have some sort of trivia game for them with the addition of Koorli and someone else whose name escapes me right now. Ahh, Kneenibble.

And with a video camera rolling for the entire evening, I might have enough material to make a pilot...

I'm not sure I want to know what kind of films you're talking about.

Also, I don't appear on film. There's just a gray smear where I should be, and the audio track is replaced with the sound of hissing cats. I've had to use stunt doubles in my Cheese Wrap videos.

[Dogmantra]

Don't be silly. I'm the only vampire in the world.

Speaking of cats and Cheese Wraps, I accidentally deleted my video of the screaming cat while I was at the zoo. And I had to delete the video I did there, because it took up almost all my SD card. Turns out that recording all our lunch was a bad idea.

In my dream Playgrounder scenario, I've just got all this whipped cream and bubbles and antlers and...

Yeah...

Oh, but there is another scenario where it's every Playgrounder in the London Marathon, but instead of the London Marathon it's one D&D Game and instead of a D&D Game it's Chess.

And instead of every Playgrounder it's Sigmund Freud and he keeps winking at me.

You may as well wonder what the inside of Fort Knox looks like.

Also, I can tell you what goes on in either Rutskarn or Jibar's minds. They have been weighed and they have been judged.

Yeah, you don't want to be going there. Quincux and Rutskarn would be fascinating, but Zero and I would be a... nightmare.

Would you believe, I'm just a poor boy who's a victim of circumstance?

[Rutskarn]

You may as well wonder what the inside of Fort Knox looks like.

Looks like this.



Bolstered by my success, I then did an image search for Player Zero's brain. This is the first thing that came up:



That sorts that out, then.

[Coidzor]

The Irish girls?

Or possibly boys.. I forget which, exactly. Just that Quinx isn't Hirish herself. Nor does she have a little Hirish in her.

That sounds hot. Especially the London marathon being played as a DnD game

Not so much the Sigmund Freud covered in antlers and whipped cream though.

I'm more of a Carl Jung fan.

[Rutskarn]

Stupid Telltale Games, making me pre-order your crap. On the plus side, I have now gotten 6 free games from them at various points in time.

[Player_Zero]

Looks like this.

No it doesn't.

The horror... THE HORROR...

This morning, at 6:34 AM, I came full awake and said--and this is a direct quote--"But plastic is a very poor conductor of electricity."

One morning shortly after waking up, I believed my alarm clocks were plotting an insurrection against me.

I think I thwarted them.

[Thufir]

I proclaim this thread to be a sacred place to the followers of the Written Word. *Sets up altar/shrine/bookshelf, bows down to.*

Doesn't anyone in here have anything better to do on a Friday night than create new Random Banter threads and and posting up to the third page?

Well, I was at a party. Fun times were had.
Then today I spent a great many hours playing the Order of the Stick Adventure Game. Unfortunately I missed Doctor Who as a result. Fortunately the internet has me covered in this regard.

[Rutskarn]

One morning shortly after waking up, I believed my alarm clocks were plotting an insurrection against me.

I think I thwarted them.

You can never be sure, can you. It's the curse of the tyrant; you will never be secure, you will never be safe. All you can do is execute dissenters, surround yourself with decoys, and pray your power holds.

Wait, alarm clocks? That doesn't make sense. They're appliances, they're incapable of abstract thought. No, seriously, you're fine.

[Pheehelm]

They kept making these noises, though.

[Rutskarn]

That doesn't mean they're insurgents, though. Don't be absurd.

It's brownies. Leave an offering of warm milk in a saucer. If the milk is accepted, you will find a small gift under your pillow. If the milk is rejected, move away.

I can guarantee that within half an hour it would tangent off into a discussion of something probably Latin or Other Dead Language related before getting into obscure or bizarre literary discussions.
Then coming back around to the crazy.
Or possibly just utter bemusement over something topical.

ION:
My mum got out her vinyl singles yesterday. They are awesome and craz. She has the single The Smurfs released. And dad has the one by John Lennon and the singing frogs.

Then I had a dream where I was looking through a vinyl shop and found The Ultimate in Geekery which was hundreds of vinyls long and involved everything from the entire (original) Thunderbirds soundtrack, including the inconic theme song, dozens of cartoon themesongs, likewise for video games, to the entire G&S catalogue to new things such as anime songs, iconic cinematic soundtracks and anything even vaguely definable as geeky and has music attached to it.
I woke up wishing such a thing really existed.

[Jibar]

Wait, alarm clocks? That doesn't make sense. They're appliances, they're incapable of abstract thought. No, seriously, you're fine.

The number of clocks in my room is approaching a singularity.
And yet I feel the need for more...
And to replace all the batteries my mother removed when I left for Uni.

[Player_Zero]

The number of clocks in my room is approaching a singularity.

You mean, almost one?

[Rutskarn]

You mean, almost one?

Yes. He's assembling it piece by piece, using only parts he finds in water closets.

[Skippy]

Hey people. Last night I got to a decision. As a few of you know (or I'd hope so, but I won't hold it against you if you don't), next Friday is my AFONAL. I'll be 24 and I made a decision. I'll be rejected by 100 women before I'm 25.

I'm an adventurer, in my own way.

Smell them.
Loudly and without shame.
How I got where I am today.

Errrr....yay?

[Skippy]

Errrr....yay?

Think about it. Statistically speaking, it's easier for me to find someone who will NOT reject me, by being rejected.

[Kobold-Bard]

What happens if they don't reject you?

What happens if you have more sex in a year than many people will have in a lifetime. Combined?

What then huh??

Seriously though good luck, I'm rooting for you...sort of, feels mean hoping someone will get rejected.
