Cynical Avocado's Absolutely Admirable Accumulation of Random Bantering #165

[Jalor]

In the years I've been here, I think I've grown up a lot. Considering how annoying I was back in 2008, anyway. I've gotten used to you guys and your unnecessarily long words. Sometimes I think I got too used to it. I look at some of the people I go to school with and think about how... Gah, I can't really describe it. Like I don't belong with them? They say the stupidest things*, they get into fights that could easily be prevented, pretty much a whole bunch of stuff I can't stand. Anyway, I guess i'm sort of trying to thank you. I know none of you remember my first post here, but it was bad. Almost as bad as some of the people that go to school with me. Seriously, if I met myself from a few years ago i'd probably punch him/me.

I know exactly how you feel. I was a complete idiot myself in 2008, but I think I've come a long way since then. Hell, I think GitP might have had something to do with that. This place has some of the best people I've seen anywhere on the internet, and I've learned a lot in my four years of on-and-off posting here.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Y u do dis.

In all seriousness, I applauded.

All in a day's work.

[MoonCat]

Oh, wow, Blue Moon is a WAY better Portmanteau Couple Name than BlueCat. How have we only just realised this?

*ships*

blarghealargealHmph

Wait, what is this Blue Moon thing? The child of Blue Ghost and MoonCat?

Anyways, it seems that my sleeping outside on the pavement for a few hours at night has given me a cold. *sigh*...

No. No children.

Why were you on the pavement?

Guys. Guys. I'm in Brittany, France. Guys. Guys. Guys. I'm In France. Guys.

I lol'd.

<snip>

I think we all go through it after some time, <hugs> we love you too.

I've realized it. But since I'm supposed to be protesting the shipping on principle, I didn't say anything.

No. I don't mind the shipping, but we do not have children.

Why were you on the pavement?

But you brought it up this time...

I heartily agree.

Did I hear an echo? Which was unintentional?

[DraPrime]

No. I don't mind the shipping, but we do not have children.

Why were you on the pavement?

No. No children.

Why were you on the pavement?

No kids? Shame, I'm sure they'd be adorable.

As for the pavement, I arrived at a Dutch train station around midnight. I wanted to stick around for my train which arrived at 5:05 AM, but the security guard informed me that I had to stay outside until 4:30 when the station would open up again. So, I found myself a spot on the pavement, wrapped myself up in my sleeping bag, used my backpack for a pillow, and took a nap.

So, Dragon Prime has had an enlightening experience. Class, can you tell me what it was?

ION: High school sucks.

My very first post on here was a shameless trolling attempt that fell flat on its backside and made me look rather silly.

I learned a valuable lesson that day and never trolled anyone ever again.

Don't sleep on the pavement!

What's up?

The pavement signifies the cold, hard surface which is the reality of life. The fact that he was napping on it signifies that most people try to dream away the reality. The fact that he caught a cold from doing so signifies that by dreaming away the harsh realities of life, we bring about our own destruction.

Only by awakening ourselves to the realities of life can we truly avoid our own destruction, or in this case, catching a cold.

[DraPrime]

Man, I wish I had as much depth as Tragic_Comedian's analysis. I don't think I could ever make my brief stint of pavement napping that impressive.

Can I sig this?

Can I sig this?

Of course, just cut out the "=" at the end. It was a silly typo.

Also, woooo I got sigged!

I got sigged too. Lets form a club =D

[DraPrime]

No need, I've already got one!



So who do you want to hit with it?

[LaZodiac]

I think, in this situation, the correct answer is you.

*badum bum tish*

[Blue Ghost]

What happened to our proposed philosophy-and-checkers club?

[Mutant Sheep]

What happened to our proposed philosophy-and-checkers club?

Got quoted away because it slept on the pavement. ...

[Tragic_Comedian]

What happened to our proposed philosophy-and-checkers club?

I'm still for it if everyone else is.

Anyone who wants to be in the Over Our Heads Club, dedicated to the pursuits of philosophy, beauty, truth, and checkers, you can be.

[Mutant Sheep]

I'm still for it if everyone else is.

I'm only interested in the "checkers" part. Its the most interesting sport!

Hey! Guys! Guys! Look ehre! Guys! Guys! Look ehre! Guys! Guys! Look ehre! Guys!...

[DraPrime]

Question is, where on the internet can we discuss philosophy while playing checkers?

[Dallas-Dakota]

What band? This is an important question.

A pale Horse named Death
Listened to it, not really my usual kind of music, but it's cool.

[Heliomance]

blarghealargealHmph

It even has its own theme song!

[CurlyKitGirl]

My mother, dear Playgrounders, has just promised to buy me much new clothing if I can get down below a certain weight before I go back uni.
This is cool. There are clothes I actually covet in her catalogue and elsewhere.
More importantly, I also get the wonderful option to Go Through Little Sister's Clothes And Pick Out Whatever You Want. She has some classy clothes.
I also get to do it with mum's proper vintage stuff what she still hung onto for some reason. Hello thirty-five year old low-slung Levi jeans and that cheesecloth newspaper print t-shirt!

As it is I already pinched Older Little Brother's old school blazer and am customising the badge out of it. Say hello burgundy red velvet.

And oh my don't I sound like a girl. I have all these weird girly ideas and whims floating through my head.
It's scary being a girl-type person.
Then again, I did just steal Older Little Brother's 'Beer is for life, not just for Christmas' t-shirt. It's too big for me, and yet somehow, I've been told I rock it, and still look pretty; even as my hair is eighty percent out of its pony tail and fading fast.
Obviously they're all deluded, and most likely biased.
All this misaimed flattery is going to give me a confidence boost. Something I genuinely need as, despite my 'outgoing confidence', it's a façade. I have crippling shyness and have serious issues with meeting new people in person.
This flattery, misaimed or otherwise is going to be useful.
So go me?
I suppose.

Hnnmmm, nice to see that my ability to ramble endlessly on meaningless tangents that no one will ever pick up on is still going as strongly as ever.

ION:
My legs have fallen off because I spent an hour and a bit at a gym, then an hour walking, then two and a half hours playing on this Zumba dancing game.
Legs shouldn't fall off like that.

Also, woooo I got sigged!

Anecdote from yesterday: On Gröna Lund, one of the rollercoasters, named Insane, which also happens to be the largest zac-spin roallercoaster in the world (there are only three of them, so that's not the most impressive of achievements). What's special about them is that they never turn sideways (i.e. they're built on the height rather than on the width) and that the seats sit on an axis on the side of the wagon rather than on top of it, which allows the seats to spin freely.

This type of design literally makes every ride unique, as the weight and position of the individual passengers influence the spinning. This is fun, and you can find yourself suddenly hanging upside down just as the track turns up again after a downward slope, and the momentum presses all your blood down into your head. Or, as in one case I was able to wittness, you can end your whole ride upside down.

Because the whole ride is so unpredictable, photos aren't taken until the very end of the ride. Here, a mechanism stops the swinging seat in an upright position just before it enters the station again. Or, more specifically, it stops the seats in an upright position unless the seats have already stopped upside down, which was exactly what happened for the (un?)fortunate riders two wagons after me and my brother. It even showed on the picture.

They were later turned back again, possibly thanks to the operating crew, but I must say that it's these unpredicted events that provides the gold lining on the real world as I percieve it. That and just when people invite me to stuff. I'm truly starved of invitations...

That sounds awesome. I'm scared. Swinging seats that go really high and spin= puke goes everywhere. Even MORE EVERYWHERE!

Gonna be honest. Although I don't understand what, exactly, those last two parts meant, I am certain that this is awesome.

Again, to bad rides don't sit well with me.

Well, if you're so easily nauseated that you vomit within 75 second of getting on a rollercoaster, you'd probably have common sense enough to stay away from it. It's a lot like free fall, it actually looks worse than it is.

[Mutant Sheep]

Again, to bad rides don't sit well with me.

But...the're FUN! I used to be scared of almost everything, but that was just because I had no experience on roller coasters. Except for a little ride that barely went over 30 miles a hour and about 20 feet up. Amazing that Six Flags moved the whole thing. Old wooden rides from amusement parks are awesome.

[absolmorph]

Gearing up for a trek through a storm drain.
I think I might actually look dangerous with everything on.

You likely missed it, but the last time Teddy mentioned rides, I brought up that simply being on a Merry Go Round makes me so very, very close to spewing, it's not even funny.

EDIT: Good luck Absolmorph!

It's still a mystery.
