A Thread in Which Banter Most Random is Expulsed Into Existence, By Ravens_cry #142

Oh, I thought he misspelled grape.
I am the only one that can see through the veil...

Seriously, using water to get rid of fire just leaves all that fuel and oxygen behind, which has already been established as a fire hazard. Best thing to do is use up all the fuel and oxygen.

What? No, you just light the fire on fire.

[Executor]

Someone's been reading too much Schlock Mercenary...

What's Schlock Mercenary?

[KilltheToy]

What's Schlock Mercenary?

Another webcomic. I'll let people that actually read it explain it.

[Pheehelm]

What? No, you just light the fire on fire.

That's true; I forgot you need to burn up the heat as well.

[Deth Muncher]

Random note: I've been watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. It's finally separated itself from the original anime and gotten into what I presume is the manga's true plotline and...holy balls. Every episode now, something happens and I'm like "lolwut the eff."

[Kobold-Bard]

Eminem and Alicia Keys should fight crime.

[Teddy]

It's called "raps" in Swedish, and it doesn't come close to the other translation of "rape". The only reason that I included "-seed" was because of the stupid name, so that it would be a bit more obvious that I didn't misspell it.

ION: I took a shower for the first time after my accident this morning (if you don't count the hair-cleaning earlier this week). I feel so refreshed, but apparently, clotted pus isn't as water-resistant as clotted blood, so I had to walk around half the morning with my elbow clear of everything before it finally dried up and clotted again.

[SMEE]

Suddenly, a random image!

[SpiderMew]

Suddenly, a random image!

Waldo and Carmen Sandiego!?!?!

I cant tell you how long ive been looking for both of them!

[Scorpina]

Heh, I've seen that before, but its still awesome.

[Dragonrider]

Random images? WHERE IS RAWHIDE WHEN WE NEED HIM?

It is, however, probably one of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen.

[SpiderMew]

Well if were going for more random pics

Spoiler

[Scorpina]

That reminds me of this:

[CurlyKitGirl]

ANd now for something completely different:
A post without pictures or links. Just words, hopefully strung together into a semi-coherent sentence or phrase.

Weather's been crazily gorgeous since lunchtime, makes me crave an ice lolly.

And since when did Cameron go blonde? Eh. Watching stuff that I don't get to see much, or hardly ever, is okay.

Insanely blue sky, makes me think that summer's going to be super-awesome, that is, if I can even find a job.
So blue, so delicious, it's actually cyan, I mean so blue that it's almmost white around the edges, purely cloudless and, welp, heavenly.
I hope the summer lasts more than a few days this time.

[SpiderMew]

Ice lolly? Is that a forzen preteen girl in a skimpy outfit?

[Sneak]

That would be an ice loli. Ice lolly's just a popsicle.

Anyway, I'm deciding whether or not to splurge and buy several albums that I want (Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites and Modern Gameplay by Sprites, The Lonesome Death of Buck McCoy by The Minus Five, The Beta Band's three EPs, ABC Music by Stereolab, Can Cladders by The High Llamas).

OK, so yeah, it's mostly because I couldn't find them online anywhere. I'll keep looking, but it I can't find them, I might have to choose some and let go of the others.

[Pheehelm]

Waldo and Carmen Sandiego!?!?!

I cant tell you how long ive been looking for both of them!

"This troper once saw a Carmen Sandiego/Waldo fic once. Unfortunately, in a case of perfect irony, he can't find it anymore."

[Ravens_cry]

What's Schlock Mercenary?

It's a far harder then most science fiction webcomic about a team of mercenaries who do their best to get paid twice, thrice and generally as much money as they can from their clients. The art starts out crummy, but improves, and the story really carries it even with bad art.
It updates daily and has for its entire run that recently topped a decade.
Archive Binging at its *urp* finest.

[Dragonrider]

@Koorli: Curses, a thousand curses! Here in the land of 300 days of sunshine (or whatever they claim to be) it's cloudy, windy, and dreary. Have Inglaterra and my banana belt hometown mysteriously swapped?

This weather seriously screws with my brain. We had a balmy January, windy February, and rainy rainy rainy March, April, May, and June. The river is higher than I've ever seen it this time of year, but I WANT MY YEARLY FOUR MONTHS OF DROUGHT.

OK, so yeah, it's mostly because I couldn't find them online anywhere. I'll keep looking, but it I can't find them, I might have to choose some and let go of the others.

I believe hard copies to be vastly superior anyway.

[Coidzor]

^: Welcome to Oregon, my dear, the weather's been ****ed since I got here.

"This troper once saw a Carmen Sandiego/Waldo fic once. Unfortunately, in a case of perfect irony, he can't find it anymore."

I got you one better. A comic exploring the pairing. Actually rather well done.

Still can't find the damn thing anymore or remember who did it.

Had to do with the hypothetical offspring of such a union.

[Quincunx]

And since when did Cameron go blonde?

You see, there also used to be an actual Boris Johnson, a boy slightly sillier than most, but with coherence. Unfortunately, during his time in the boarding halls of future power, some foolish lad picked up a suspiciously blonde-hued rock which had fallen from the stars, and carried it inside. . .now there is only the shell of a man, and the being from the stars seeks a new host and, this time, rather more brains to devour. . .

If you don't mind hard copies (which you can rip to your computer anyway) and if you haven't already checked, Barnes & Noble has a pretty good music section. If I want an album and I can't find it anywhere else, I generally go there and find it pretty well (but that's after sifting through a lot of junk). I dunno how obscure the music I buy is compared to what you're looking for, though.

But you might as well give it a shot, if you haven't already checked. *shrug*

I've been meaning to start reading Schlock for forever now, but I'm so intimidated by the massive archives that I can't bring myself to start (and starting at any point other than the beginning would be cheating).

Of course, waiting longer and longer probably isn't a good idea if the size of the archives are what's scaring me.

But both my brother and my friend have been bugging me for a while, so I might get around to it in the vast quantities I free time I have to myself this summer, perfect for archive binging.

Ooh! That's actually a good idea!

I kind of doubt they carry the stuff, because I am a pretentious indie hipster douche and listen to pretentious indie hipster douche music, but it'll give me something to do anyway. Most of my friends are on vacation in exotic places, so I've been cooped up in the house for around a week. I need things to do.

Oh, but you're the coolest one. When the time comes to kill all the hipsters, I may spare you.

Anyway, good luck with finding that pretentious indie hipster douche music.

[Sneak]

Well goshdarnit if that doesn't just warm my douchey old heart.

I like that name . . . I shall steal it and use it equally alongside Britland. It makes me happy.

From the sounds of it though, it does seem like your home's swapped with mine though. We've had the CrAzYnEsS in the weather that seems like our normal weathers have done a freaky Friday on us.

ION:
I have a bed now. Seriously. A bed. Not a settee, not a floor, but an actual bed. Granted, it's a fold-away bed, but it's a bed.
I am pleased.

[Coidzor]

Koorli, where are you living now that it's summer that you just got a bed?

And also, my condolences for you having to sleep on a settee. It's like a chaise-lounge and a formal sitting room's couch combined for the ultimate in horrible uncomfortable furniture, especially to sleep on.

[Ravens_cry]

I have been meaning to ask this, but your avatar Sneak strongly resembles one Wally B. Feed.
Coincidence or intentionality?

[Thufir]

We have had rather summery weather of late. To the point that my American friend hasn't been complaining that it's too cold.
