Deth Muncher's Destructive and Meandering Random Banter #141

[Coidzor]

You see that right there? That's you killing a joke. Killing jokes is a federal crime on these forums. They could put you away for this.

At the very least....

[Cobalt]

No, that was their son. It was Father Sky, I'm certain.

Like I said. Soap Opera.

The other day I misprinted the date on an assignment, I wrote 20010 instead of 2010. And that made me wonder; what will life be like in 18000 years? 180000 years? We will have either mastered spacecraft and spread across the universe like a plague, colonizing planet after planet with our superior technology, or our planet will just be evolving life again after a nuclear-enabled nutjob ignites a nuke-war and humanity destroys itself. Thoughts?

Neither. Humanity will quite clearly be enslaved by alien invaders in the year 20012, when they land in huge empty fields left behind from our rushed deforestation of Earth to use wood as a replacement for fossil fuels, quickly subjugating us in the mayhem during the aftermath of World War twenty-four, which was fought over dwindling forest resources using, ironically, Napalm weapons. It will be the ultimate- and final- lessen in man’s ignorance when it comes to governing his own affairs, which will be told to the slaves constantly each day over the huge speaker system that the invaders will have set up to demoralize man as they mine the planet’s crust for fossil fuels left behind from our dead bodies.

Or not. Hells, I don’t know.

Question: Do I still serve the time if I kill my own joke before the end of my post, or is that like an abortion?

[KataraAltinaII]

Well, it's certainly not madness.

Where'd you head off to?

is it Sparta?

I was in Albuquerque, devoid of access to a computer.

[Thufir]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

For weeks I've been thinking my first exam was on tuesday. Turns out it's actually tomorrow.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

[Dogmantra]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

Now you've got me nervous. Despite the fact that I know you're a lot further through education than GCSEs, I am now wondering if my first exam isn't tomorrow. Thanks.

[Tyrandar]

I keep having dreams where it turns out that I've missed exams (aside from the ones I deliberately skipped due to a lack of knowledge ) Stupid college - get out of my subconscious!

[Thufir]

Bah. GCSEs don't require revision, they're easy.

[Dogmantra]

Bah. GCSEs don't require revision, they're easy.

Yeah, but it'd mean I'd have to go into school for 4 days this week instead of 3.

[Malfunctioned]

Whilst I can't recommend not revising for GCSE's I can honestly say that I didn't at all and I ended up with 8 of them, two A's in that as well.

Nah, the worst you can get with that is a $300 fine and some community service hours.

[CrimsonAngel]

I heard something about Barbarian week, is that true?

[Dogmantra]

It was suggested in the Avatar Theme Week Central Thread. Victorian Week is the next one though.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

[Malfunctioned]

Wooo! Malfunctioned now has new glasses! And he is also talking in the third-person for some reason!

[randman22222]

Ho hum. Not knowing anyone aside from my family here in Deutschland is a little lonesome. Is there anyone here from Darmstadt, I wonder?

[Dogmantra]

So my evening meal tonight consisted of some slightly stale popcorn and a few chocolate raisins. In my next breath I will be complaining about the fact I am too thin.

[Sneak]

This is fantastic.

[Tyrandar]

This is fantastic.

That is far awesomer than I expected.

[Rutskarn]

This is fantastic.

For some reason, the instrumental part of this sounds like it should be playing in the background of an early 90s-era sidescroller.

I find myself enjoying Othello. Far more than most other Shakespeare, at least. Iago should be praised more in modern culture.

I keep meaning to read that. Too bad for him he got shafted by having the most recent homage I can think of to him that one parrot.

Michael Jackson in an early 90s-era sidescroller? Yeah, I can see that.

Speaking of which, I've been trying to remember a particular early 90s-eras sidescroller for forever now. It had samurais in it, and cool samurai music. I'm pretty sure it was on some Sega system. Anyone?

Indeed. I don't understand why the play isn't called Iago, because he's clearly the main character. And the most quotable.

I didn't like it that much, though, to be honest. The three Shakesplays I've been forced to read for school are A Midsummer Night's Dream, Othello, and Julius Caesar. Of those three, Julius Caesar is easily the best, IMO.

Still, I'm just not a Shakes fan. Give me Nabokov or even Melville over the Bard of Avon any day. Or if we're just talking playwrights, Oscar Wilde.

I have, for the Genesis, Shadow Dancer: The Secret of Shinobi, and as part of a 6-pack on 1 cartridge, Revenge of the Shinobi. Are either of these what you're looking for?

(All my video games are in a drawer nearby. It's pretty accessible, so it was quick to check.)

Come to think of it...

You see a good performance, Iago shines as one of Shakespeare's best. I saw a great travelling group do it at my hometown.

Though, personally, a Midsummer's Night Dream receives far more attention than it gets. I loves me some Puck and his mischief.

We got some Zen business up in here.

Also, Iago has a pretty pathetic motive for his cunning, highly involved schemes.

[Amiel]

My fellow Australians, Mr Bean is available to watch on iView

[Thufir]

Also, Iago has a pretty pathetic motive for his cunning, highly involved schemes.

Given how much Iago lies and manipulates, you shouldn't necessarily take his stated motivation at face value.
To be honest, the most convincing reason why he does it may just be 'because he can'.

[Coidzor]

He is pretty much the definition of for the evulz, was how I always had it treated when he's come up.

I'd always just thought of him as the definition of an effective CE type. Though, as I mentioned earlier, I need to actually read and see the play rather than go off of second and third hand info.
