Several Silly Sealions Stuffed Seaweed Southward Swiftly (Or, Random Banter #143)

[Lillith]

The most difficult one I´ve done was a 3000 piece. To be honest I don´t dislike hard puzzles. I have to say that this one has been the biggest challenge I´ve heard for a very long time. The problem was that at the time I started this puzzle, I was looking for something to relax. An easy to do puzzle. Instead I got a real challenge while I have a time limit. ^^" If I had normal time to spend on it, instead of only a small time span, I'd enjoy it a lot more. Now it's just stressing me out.

[PJ the Epic]

My favorite puzzle is either this or this.

I attempted the second one, only to find out they had printed it on white backing. It was...

[Dragonrider]

I need to remember to use multiquote instead of good old C+P. But . . . .

'Course, LoTR has Quenya and that other one. And Nazghul (sp?), so yeah.

Quenya, Sindarin, and the Black Speech. The Nazgûl do speak it but I don't believe that's its proper name. And there were lots more languages, but I don't know how many had developed grammar and lexicon. And by the by, Tolkien was freaking amazing.

Eh, I'm a wee bit of a Trekkie, I like to watch TOS, TNG, and I've seen all the movies.

Yay! I LOVE LOVE LOVE TNG, and am somewhat fond of DS9 but less so. Not a fan of Voyager or Enterprise. There's just something about the crew of TNG that is so endearing . . . which brings me to . . . .

Not even Picard? o.O

I don't know that I find him attractive, but I adore him anyway. And you know, probably the coolest thing is that a lot of the cast are still good friends - LeVar Burton (Geordi) and Brent Spiner (Data) in particular. I think I read somewhere that they and Patrick Stewart were all best men in Jonathan Frakes' (Riker's) wedding.

Also I feel like this is a death knell on whatever small reputation I have, but Wesley doesn't bother me that much. >.> I mean, yeah he's not particularly well written, but I don't see why he inspires such foaming-at-the-mouth RAGE. But maybe my opinion is influenced by the adult Wil Wheaton's awesomeness.

Not sure how well movie actors will transition into TV roles.

Just wanted to point out that Zachary Quinto, at least, is not a movie-only actor.

[Rawhide]

Why, why, WHY OH WHY, did they never release this?

I was so looking forward to it when the trailer was first released.

SHhh! Deary, you're not supposed to let people know you have CP.

Well, Tolkien's dwarves spoke a Semitic language apparently, so, well, Jewish Dwarves are older than Pratchett.

Why, why, WHY OH WHY, did they never release this?

Oof, that does look like it would've been fun for that time period. But, uh... What brings it to mind now?

Saw a poster by the name of Marillion a while back. Took me weeks of it being just out of reach in my mind to work out Marillion => Armarillion (and Armarilion) => Armadillion (failed, backtrack) => Amarillion (and Amarilion, Amarilon) => Amalion => Armalion.

Do you know how hard it is to find a little known (and never released) RPG game when you only know what the name sounds a bit like?

[Dallas-Dakota]

Have I declared my love for you, this month yet, Rawhide?

Great to see you back & posting again.

When it comes to RPGs, skillful 2.5D is far more appealing than straight 3D.

I'm getting really annoyed at one particular thread, and I want to start a new thread screaming about it, but I guess a spoilered post here will have to do.

Warning, me screaming at the top of my lungs.

No, you're not. (Probably). Your avatar, on the other hand...

...is not an axe weilding monstrosity!

[Rawhide]

No, clearly it is wielding a halberd.

[Cealocanth]

...

No. It's an axe.

...

I seriously don't have a response to that. Give me a second to get Sticktheif in the room.

[Starfols]

I thought it was a bardiche.

[Rutskarn]

I thought it was a pair of knitting shears, or perhaps a sporty pool cleaner.

[Phase]

Wait, that isn't a Mongolian Death Worm in your avatar? Huh.

No, clearly it is weilding a halberd.

Grammar police here. Wielding.

I before E except after C.

[Rutskarn]

Or when sounded like a, as in neighbor and weigh, or after a subjunctive clause, or when beetles sing a love song, or when the shores of Aka-Wei are no longer disturbed by the thundering boots of the Garkin.

[Superglucose]

I before E except after C.

I'd like to weigh in on this rule...

[Player_Zero]

Oh get some pragmatism.

[Superglucose]

I thought my answer was at least clever.

And in "weird", because it's weird.

[Phase]

Dear lord, semantics, all of you. Change of subject, quickly.

So I snapped my first mouse neck today... I... did not enjoy it. I'm not looking forward to preforming the next step of the procedure next time.

[Superglucose]

And people think it's absurd I don't like killing spiders or insects...

Damn, son. Science is hardcore

Honestly, I don't think I'd much enjoy snapping mouse-neck either. I mean, it's not even so much the killing a living thing part, it's just...euughh.

It's the super-aids. They're covered in the stuff.

[Xyk]

Killing mammals is so much different from squishing bugs or even killing birds (though I can't do that either). Most of us can relate to mammals because we're pretty much the same thing. It's like murder!

[Player_Zero]

As someone who wouldn't even consider harming a fly I am quite appalled.

[Teddy]

Well, I'm not especially keen on squishing most bugs, mostly because I don't think there's a reason to kill them. I squish silverfish with a piece of paper to not make things too messy, but I'm relentless on mosquitos. I've adopted a quite original way of killing horse-flies. They're far to large to squish, but they're quite resilient to lesser violence. My sollution is to catch them and decapitate them by pulling of their heads. It may sound a bit macabre, but it's swift and clean.
