Thufir's Thupremely Thatithfying Thecond Random Banter With a Lithp #170

As opposed to what part of your body that isn't?

I guess if my nose is kinda stuffed up I'm not that scared. It's like, stuff that relates to the primary sense I've grown to use for these 19 years, kinda freaky to me. Do you know how much my life would change if I went blind?

[Cobalt]

If I could no longer smell, I would be sad.

Blind would suck too, probably.

Actually, joking aside, I prefer sight and sound as my favorite senses. Taste/smell/communication with ghosts, etc., are things I could see myself potentially continuing life without, should some catastrophe occur on a down day. But seeing and hearing I don't see leaving without taking most of me with them.

[Tragic_Comedian]

The only thing I'd really mind losing would be my hearing. I could cope with everything else, but my life would be a sad one if I could never hear music again.

Yeah. I'd be sad if I could never smell music again myself.

In all honesty though, blindness would be the worst, and I would gladly lose my power of speech.

"Blindness separates us from things. Deafness separates us from people."

[Ranger Mattos]

Being blind would be the worst for me. Especially because I plan on going into computer science, so it would be helpful to be able to see the computer.

Groans. It did it again, I've missed two pages of RB 'cause of that.

ION: Watching Amadeus. totally wrong historically, but I can't help but watch anyway. Dunno why.

Because it's a good movie. Historical accuracy doesn't matter. They didn't intend it to be historically accurate, but it's one of the best cussed motion pictures I ever seen.

You could listen to music without hearing it, mainly by abusing vibrations, sight on the other hand, prevents you from music sheet reading, and music theory reading, and most of normal activities, while it's possible to learn to read lips, and again, go Beethoven.

It's a longstanding tradition to boogy in celebration every time a new RB thread starts. The mods try and discourage it, but that just gives it underground appeal :P

I missed this when it was first posted.

We have been very understanding of this "tradition" and have not discouraged it per se, but we have warned people about spamming new threads with it. Posts should contain content. Meaningless action posts add nothing and are classified as spam.

It is, quite frankly, little more than the "first page" nonsense which is prohibited under the forum rules. If it gets out of hand, we will include this in the provision.

Thank you for the clarification Rawhide. I was always a little curious.

Also, either you've been drifting for a long time, or you just really like this part of the movie Castaway.

I would assume, based on the available stereotypes, that the water is the safest part of Australia. It is for safety reasons that he created a raft and now he has lost his beloved companion, a common experience in stories.

[Heliomance]

How is the water safe? The water is where the sharks and jellyfish live!

[AtlanteanTroll]

How is the water safe? The water is where the sharks and jellyfish live!

And Cone Shell Snails and Blue Ringed Octopi. Seriously, how did that stereotype come along? Bio 2 has made me more scared of Australian waters then I was of a hypothetical Zombie Apocalypse.

[Nix Nihila]

I have to say I find the squeaky beaches more unnerving than the Octopi or Jellyfish.

The water is 'safer', not 'safe'. Because the land is poison central. Seriously, I'm surprised Australia wasn't the one who invented poison gas

How could they? The air itself out there is toxic. All that dead poisonous creature blood... *dramatic que*

I'm sure it wouldn't be the same. Anyhow, I can't read music (not enough to hurt my playing, anyhow.). I play by letter. I just rear back and let 'er fly.

I am going to stop Headbitch if it is the last thing I do

So, beloved Humanities teacher from FDS? You all know him, he was the one who did the BlueBrowneyes experiment, and the one who I got my picture taken with at that poetry thing I went to. Let us call him Bear from now on. A quick recap, he's the one who wasn't getting his contract made by Headbitch after the whole year of schooling had been planned and books had been ordered. On the first day back, it still wasn't made, so he said he wasn't coming back until he had his contract, and then he'd show up on the same day it was signed and start teaching. That was back at the beginning of the school year for FDS, and Bear says that there have been no Humanities classes all year, according to the few students who talk to him. FDS had been saying that Bear is off down south spending time with his family because his sister is ill (his sister died over the summer irl), something that was disproved every time he went outside. Last I heard of him, he had to move in with his girlfriend, and was applying for unemployment money. Well, my family just got BCCed on an email of his to the board and Headbitch. It seems their lie has changed since last time.

THEY'VE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE THAT HE QUIT SO HE CAN'T GET THE UNEMPLOYMENT MONEY.

I hate Headbitch. She ruined my school, she hurt me, and now she's doing horrible, horrible things to my friend.

[Heliomance]

I swear the Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes experiment was something you held up as an example of how horribad FDS was.

It was. He was the one who conducted it, under the order of Headbitch. And he would have refused to do it if he knew what position the school was in, he said later. But Headbitch did know, and she ordered him to do it. I hate her.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Oh, real friends are great!

Friend: I'll have, like, college girls and such to creep on. I'm not gonna have time to creep on people like you anymore.

Me: Im better then any College Girl. Our bromance is forever. A one night stand is for one night. I'M BETTER!

Friend: Indeed. But you're like the eternally looming background which other things jump out in front of, and temporarily conceal you.

I'm not shocked at the happenings at FDS. I expected this kind of stupid bull from HB. And I'm still sad.

I'm sorry, you don't know my IRL friend, you aren't qualified to be a distraction.

-snippity-

Does it strike you as meab that when I read that, the first thing that I thought of was "I'm glad that I don't go to that school. It sounds horrible", rather than "Poor Luna. Stupid headmistress"?

ION: Doing proofs for derivatives of trig functions. Fun

Why would that be a problem? It comes to the same feeling essentially, not a good school.

[AsteriskAmp]

Why wouldn't it be fun?

[Tragic_Comedian]

Why wouldn't it be fun?

'Cause most people I know don't like math and think it is hard.

[Thufir]

'Cause most people I know don't like math and think it is hard.

Pfft. Pfft I say. Derivatives of trig functions are easy.
