August's Pink Plushy and Phantasmagorically Random Banter Thread #166

[Teddy]

They do on Killing Floor (Steam/PC) . Some may never actually return and be possible again, but the development staff won't comment on it.

Well, I was talking specifically about the Xbox achievements, but yeah, I suspected someone would pull that one somewhere.

Oh yes

Oh no...

ION:
I've finally come around to start watching MLP FiM. I've only gone through the first three episodes yet (because I spent half the morning playing World of Tanks. The contrast is delicious), but I must say I like it so far (and add to that my tendency to understate my opinions).

[Castaras]

Got my results. And I got into the Uni I wanted to get to, with 1 grade over what I needed (A*ABB, needed AAB ).

My face has been all for the past 2 and a half hours.


Oh, did I mention?

[Heliomance]

Woo! Go Cassie!

[Mutant Sheep]

Got my results. And I got into the Uni I wanted to get to, with 1 grade over what I needed (A*ABB, needed AAB ).

Oh, did I mention?

Yay! *happy*
ION: I don't wanna go to school mommy!

[Feytalist]

Heh. Much congratzness. I always hate waiting for exam results, but when they come I never want to know the result. Speaking of which, my actuarial exam results have been out for a week. I still haven't checked. And the next exam is in almost a month's time

As to avatars; mine's a fremen. I like Dune. Also, blue eyes. I have some. they are blue.

On a completely unrelated note, people with blue eyes have always kind of intimidated me.

[Heliomance]

My sister just got straight As on her A/S levels, and best in year.

[factotum]

Got my results. And I got into the Uni I wanted to get to, with 1 grade over what I needed (A*ABB, needed AAB ).

Congratulations! Now, who's going to sound the alert to the poor populace of Leicester?

Congrajubilations!

ION: I don't wanna go to school mommy!

Why? Does your school start already?

[smuchmuch]

congratulation Casastras.
(doesn't the constant grinning hurt the cheeks ?)

I hope university work for you.
(Just out of curiosity, if it isn't too bold of me to ask, what studies are you taking ?)

ION: I don't wanna go to school mommy!

Eh, who want ever wanted it anyway ?

[Tragic_Comedian]

I like Dune.

I thought about reading Dune.

But it looked too dry.

[Feytalist]

But it looked too dry.

Heh. Congratulations, you have earned a throat punch from every Dune fan on the server.

Although, I'm with you on Dune Messiah and Children of Dune. It gets much better again after those two, though.

[Kneenibble]

My take on Marty and Daniel was that they were faces of God, tied to the theme of Bene Gesserit as gardeners that Chapterhouse expounds and the strange new Atreides powers that Duncan and Teg were developing. But then I read the Dune wiki, and apparently that's not it at all. - at least according to the direction that his son took in his own sequels. How I hate what that guy did to the series.

[Eon]

Congrats!

Yay! *happy*
ION: I don't wanna go to school mommy!

Don't remind me...

[Rawhide]

Nice pun.

Seriously though, I do suggest that everyone at least read the first book. It is an awesome mind twister. Every single person has their own political motivations and they are all working against each other in some of the most subtly manipulative ways. To steal a quote from the book itself, "a feint, withing a feint, within a feint".

[LaZodiac]

Yay, a new thread!
...and I missed creating it yet again :(
I'll never get my own thread!

Don't worry, you will someday Heliomance!

*snip*

Oh man, that's pretty awesome. Good thing you picked the one you did, because that one looks a tiny bit less awesome. Also, the prime rib thing..I never thought of it untill I SAW the avatar of it.

As to avatars; mine's a fremen. I like Dune. Also, blue eyes. I have some. they are blue.

I wanna reference the walking thing, but I can't remember how to spell that last word. So I'll just go with this.

The Spice Must Flow.

[DraPrime]

Oh man, that's pretty awesome. Good thing you picked the one you did, because that one looks a tiny bit less awesome. Also, the prime rib thing..I never thought of it until I SAW the avatar of it.

I'll admit that every once in a while I look at that other angel and have a bit of regret that I didn't pick it. But then I see how the armor was done on mine and feel totally satisfied.

In other news, blogging is most certainly enjoyable. It's always nice to have a day where I can sit down, write a few posts, and polish up the blog.

[MoonCat]

Woo, goin' on a stakeout! Yay!

...

I should probably explain shouldn't I?

[Rawhide]

Woo, goin' on a stakeout! Yay!

...

You're going out to dinner to have some nice steak?

[Blue Ghost]

Woo, goin' on a stakeout! Yay!

...

Does that even need saying? Of course you need to explain.

[DraPrime]

Woo, goin' on a stakeout! Yay!

A stakeout? Like a police stakeout? I had no idea that you were a cop MoonCat. I think I'd better hide now...

*begins burning all the evidence*

[Rawhide]

You'd better hide your prime dragon steak.

Make sure it's well done!


ion: Watching a pot until it boils.

[DraPrime]

You'd better hide your prime dragon steak.

She'll never get it!

*OM NOM NOM*

There! As long as no surgery is involved, it's impossible to get it from me now!

[Lyesmith]

Make sure it's well done!


ion: Watching a pot until it boils.

Well done!? HERESY.

Steak should be rare! Nice and red and fresh and juicy and dripping. Mmmm...

[MoonCat]

Typing it up now, it's a bit long.

[Tragic_Comedian]

Make sure it's well done!


ion: Watching a pot until it boils.

A watched pot never boils.

Well done!? HERESY.

Steak should be rare! Nice and red and fresh and juicy and dripping. Mmmm...

Disgusting. You should never eat anything that isn't cooked all the way through.

[Eon]

Well done!? HERESY.

Nah....

A watched pot never boils.


Disgusting. You should never eat anything that isn't cooked all the way through.

I'm seeing if I was lied to-- Gah! I looked away to type this and it boiled!

[Rawhide]

Disgusting. You should never eat anything that isn't cooked all the way through.

For sanitary reasons, you only need to cook the surface areas.

[Lyesmith]

"Well-done" is synonymous with "Ruined", when it comes to steak imo.

It goes all chewy and blegh! You get none of the tenderness, the taste, the texture!

[MoonCat]

You're going out to dinner to have some nice steak?

Unfortunately, no. But what I'm doing is much more awesome!

Does that even need saying? Of course you need to explain.

Okay!

For the last two days I've been spending two hours each day with three other people in an evening group called Guerrilla Theater. We plan to do some sort of public performance at the end of it. Here is the schedule, which we worked out yesterday for the rest of the week, plus what we already did:

Tuesday: Meet for the first time, sit in a field and talk about three different types of guerrilla theater, surreal (most of my life already, but when you're not sure if it's a ploy or not (think people walking into a bookstore, looking at one book, leaving, then doing the same thing again five minutes later for an hour), certain (public musical), and oblivious (randomly holding a concert out on a roof for instance). Then we go around listing all the ideas we have come to mind for what we should do at the end, and I prove that I'm a cloud cuckoolander. I hit upon the idea of using theater make-up to give ourselves convincing terrible wounds, then go downtown and act normally when by all expectation we should be unconscious in a hospital. The idea gains some popularity.

Wednesday: I enter bringing a scrapbook from a play I did, which I am showing to the teacher (he's really more of a voice of adult concern when we come up with ideas that might get 911 called on us, when he isn't doing magic tricks and letting us bury him under pillows) when the power goes out in the whole building. We have no idea why. As there is still plenty of light outside we go to the front room, which had one wall that pretty much consists of a large window and a glass door. The last person gets there (one was already there) and we start planning again, although not before on of us cuts her tow, and I twist my ankle (Mini Script! MoonCat twists ankle. MoonCat: Ow! F**K! OW! Realizes she's in a school-like environment MoonCat: Um... Ignore that. I didn't say anything! MoonCat leaves the line of vision of the teacher and hears hysterical laughter from where she was earlier.). We go inside, and since my idea was popular yesterday, we start talking about what problems there would be, and what we would need to pull it off. Purely theoretically of course, and only using it as an example for what we would need to do with what we did decide on, but after a while we just stopped adding 'if we do this' to each enthusiastic problem solving exclamation. We work out all the kinks (he has police friends who he'll tell about the thing in case we don't manage to get someone to shut up and stop dialing 911 in time) and plan what we're to doing in the following days.

Thursday: Stake-out, we go down town and plan exactly where we'll be and where we'll go, and where we'll meet after one hour.

Friday: Practice, we use that make-up kit to practice making wounds, and work on getting used to moving around normally with it on.

Saturday: Showtime!
