Deth Muncher's Destructive and Meandering Random Banter #141

[Dogmantra]

In addition, how does one go about becoming fictional? Fictional characters seem to have a much better time.

Have you tried wishing really hard?

[Player_Zero]

Have you tried wishing really hard?

More than you could possibly know.

[Fifty-Eyed Fred]

More than you could possibly know.

Wish harder.

[druid91]

Well you could implant your soul into a story book. Or you could click your heels three times and say "there's no place like fictionland," three times?

[Player_Zero]

Wish harder.

I have wished the maximum amount of wishing.

This reality sucks. I want a new one.

[Pyrian]

because cleaning spoons is HARD?

Very. I've eaten applesauce with a fork just to avoid washing a spoon.

[druid91]

Very. I've eaten applesauce with a fork just to avoid washing a spoon.

Well, I have eaten steak with a spoon to avoid washing a fork.

[Pyrian]

Was a knife involved?

[Lyesmith]

Do what Shelley Winters did. Wish so hard it ruptures space time.

[druid91]

Was a knife involved?

The second time when I wised up.

[Dr. Bath]

Hot damn Prodigy are good. Totally looking forward to going to Bestival even more now.

Also Zira: Didja see Shelley's latest adventure? In which she visits queen Beaton and 'Our' Stevens?

[Bothi]

Thank all u random people who posted on this, ranking me up to halfling from pixies

[Phase]

You'd better hand over that conk shell.

[Trog]

*A troglodyte walks into the thread sporting a chef's hat and a "Shag the Cook" apron. He places Bothi in a hot pan and, over medium high heat, browns him quickly on all sides.*

There. Hop in the oven anytime you're ready. Trog predicts you will be a bit gristly.

*wanders off*

Warranty expired a couple billion years ago.

In entirely related news, I've plugged Sarah Brightman into Pandora. The results are almost embarrassingly funky.

I have the nagging feeling that I'm supposed to be liking this music ironically. And except for that last part, this does seem to be the case.

Ok, question:

'Why don't you ever see the head line: Clairvoyant wins lottery?'

Sorry, its a quote from some where and I had been looking for an opportunity to use it!

[Temotei]

Ok, question:

'Why don't you ever see the head line: Clairvoyant wins lottery?'

Sorry, its a quote from some where and I had been looking for an opportunity to use it!

I swear I've heard that quote.

Anyway, they don't win because I'm always winning, regardless of my underage status and the fact that I've never played the lottery. I never plan on playing either. I still win, though!

[Fawkes]

Sherlock Holmes used it. House uses it.

You forgot Monk.

And Psych.

And the Mentalist.

And Lie to Me, maybe, I haven't seen it.

I'd expect a Psychic to know the answer to that question.

AW SNAP

[_Zoot_]

I swear I've heard that quote.

You most likely have, I didn't make it up, I just heard it somewhere and really liked it!

[Fawkes]

So, I've been reading those ban-bait topics, waiting for the hammer to fall.

I feel like I've set up a folding chair and a cooler of beer and sat down next to a car accident. Also, the driver is drunk, drove into a pole, and is now trying to take a swing at a police officer, and I just know the guys gonna get tased and it's gonna be hilarious.

[Quincunx]

Huh. You're right--it IS just like "Cops"! Needs more gunslinger-y theme music, though.

Also just spent time watching other people do work. . .well, not people, but a tiny, curly-legged spider which moved in along with the pots of chives. It is far from being the only critter to catch a lift, which is why I was so pleased to see it capture one of the carrot flies and package it up in silk. The spider itself is about as large as a carrot fly in the body, and these miniatures were backlit by a sun so strong they seemed translucent. I do love watching predation in action. There's a sense of communal action, like singers performing the same music, which the solitary munching of a herbivore misses. Now if I can just add another melody and capture a wild ladybug to feast on the aphids, which are on their second indoor generation. . .

[Dogmantra]

Haha, screw you system!
I just finished your term long project in three days.
HA!

Our house is almost literary flooded with silverfish, which is kind of gross, but we do have some allies living together with us too: wolf spiders. They are really cool, but I haven't seen anyone catch a silverfish yet (they remain hidden during daytime, so I won't see them especially often). My dad even has a workmate who supplies him with new spiders whenever he finds one in his own house.

[Anuan]

I just found out what I look like with my goatee twisted into two little bits, a la Marco from Nightwish. Not bad, is the verdict. Which is good, because generally it looks too...whispy. Because it naturally parts and doesn't grow as long in the middle (slight chin-dimple. Thumbrint style, not pin-hole style.) so it doesn't look as thick as it is. May buy some wax or something and do this permanently...

[Trobby]

I'm considering an attempt at the goatee-sideburns-mustache look myself. I think I could pull it off if I learn proper grooming techniques.

Also, every time I see that avatar, I go "Daaaaww!" But not just because it's adorable.

[Mauve Shirt]

Got my wisdom teeth out today. Can't feel my bottom lip. The back right side of my mouth is in ridiculous pain. Painkillers aren't working too well, I think I can take more vicodin in a few hours.
Just came in to complain. I'll leave now.

*hugs* Wisdom teeth was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. (I hope I never feel that sick ever again.) I hope you feel better soon.

[druid91]

I hated the pain meds they gave me when I got mine removed, I could barely move around and actually went temporarily blind the one time I got out of bed while on them. But I hope you feel better.

[Kneenibble]

Dear Banterants,
If you're anything like me, you live like a harem woman and wake up just in time for lunch. And when you do, the best possible meal is Lego.

Quincunx: Watching a spider feed is music. This is not to be doubted. If you have success against your aphids, do you suppose you could extrapolate a remedy for the mealybugs that are sucking the life juice out of one of my grapefruit trees?

Teddy: Even catching silverfish and tossing them in a large spider's web, the spider won't eat them. I don't think they're tasty. Centipedes, however, are their natural predator, did you know? - and both are otherwise harmless in the house ecosystem.

[Cleverdan22]

Hooray! I just got my web page design project switched from the watercar to webcomics! Time to do work by reading OotS, Dr. McNinja, and Girl Genius in class for "research."
