Serpentine's Secretly Sapphic Salacious Sacrarium of Random Banter #180

[Cobra_Ikari]

I keep checking it and no one's ever there.

Same here. =P

And when there ARE people there, they always greet me by yelling my name. And then won't tell me who they are. >.>

[AtlanteanTroll]

It's a running gag. I find it amusing.

It's a running nuisance.

[MoonCat]

Sort of, the time goddess thing got confusing and old a while ago. It's fine to not want people to know something about you, but constantly flaunting it is annoying.

I'm not really flaunting it. I just mentioned it again once because it was a joke I thought would fit in well. I only ever even say Time Goddess when I need it to explain why I'm saying the things, because I don't want it to be taken seriously.

Mhmm. Sure you didn't mean it. Clearly, your subconscious is trying to tell you things. =P

It's completely understandable, though, Zodi's very swoonworthy. =3

I dunno, I think it's kind of fun trying to puzzle out the things people hint at but refuse to explicitly say. I tease people by doing that to them all the time.

Although I suppose if Moonie's really uncomfortable with anyone knowing the truth, it might be a bad choice on her part.

And now I'm reminded of that first episode of The Guild. LaLa, you are forbidden from moving into my house because of what I have said on RB. Is that clear?

Not that I would know.

I just started doing it because everyone seems to make assumptions based on age, and people had started asking, so I decided to make it a joke. I'm not uncomfortable either, I just don't say it unless I can trust folks not to go around assuming that I will act as is stereotypical for my age.

It's not when you purposefully post contradictory things that are entirely plausible.

Why do you care so much? It's just my age, if you dislike the joke, you can ignore it. I hate the pun sessions we have (had? It's been a while), so then I just skip over those posts. If you genuinely dislike it becuase you want to find out my age THAT much, then... oookay, slightly creeped out.

My money's on 15, FWIW. Maybe 16 by now, but I don't think so.

Interesting.

BWHAHAHAHA. /cackles at knowing the Lunar Feline's true age.

IRN:I guess we gave up on chat after using it for one day?

If only you avoid irritating people who want to find out, becuase then they might get mad at me for starting it, and god knows, I can't handle any more reasons to be an outcast on the forum.

I keep checking, no one is ever there!

Same here. =P

Hmm. WE MUST ALL BE INVISIBLE!

COBBBRAAA

It's a running nuisance.

You don't know my actual age, big deal. The only thing I can think of being a problem is seeing the post referencing it, but sometimes there are jokes on the internet you wont find funny. Happens all the time. Apologies if I started one of them.

[inky13112]

Not in depth enough. Urban did a much better job of explaining, actually.


If this means "shake down" that's actually a pretty good way to end up in the morgue.

There was a vending machine at my university in which the dispenser would sometimes get stuck. With a few minutes of work by reaching up through the dispenser, you could unstuck it and retrieve the paid for candy.

Obviously you want to avoid killing yourself for a candy bar.

Hahahahahhahaha. That's funny. Real funny. I don't give two craps about your age. I find the fact that the so called "gag" hasn't worn out it's welcome annoying.

And if I could ignore things, my life would be much, much easier.

Obviously you want to avoid killing yourself for a candy bar.

It's not too obvious to about 2 people per year since 1978.

[Kneenibble]

I have finally commissioned the velvet blazer haunting my dreams for several years now. It will be ready the end of September. It giddies me like a can of peaches.

[LaZodiac]

How the Hell is it you're over 19? Staying up past 11 was a special event for you last year.

EDIT: And as far as I can gather you aren't ready to go to College yet and still live at home.

What.

Playing devil's advocate here and saying she COULD be implying a lolicon.

And now I'm reminded of that first episode of The Guild. LaLa, you are forbidden from moving into my house because of what I have said on RB. Is that clear?

If I had ever seen The Guild I'm sure I'd fine this reference funnier then I do. Ah well, I still DO find it funny XP

As an aside, since it's been mentioned, a Church of Transformation would worship a trinity of Primus, Optimus, and The Matrix. The way it works is that Primus is the God analog, Optimus is the son analog, and The Matrix is the spirit analog. It's actually all worked out quite well, to a startling degree. We even had a Judas, but our Judas is a gignatic flaming death tank.

[MoonCat]

You commission clothes? Wow. But that sounds really awesome. And hat analogy should be put in a museum.

Also, I just noticed your sig has one of my favorite poems quoted in it. You rock.

Aaand this. This is why I love you.

Ew. Also, on a unrelated note, why do I never see you in the One Piece thread?

[Dimonite]

So an interesting thing is happening to me here at college, somewhat similar to Tragic Comedian's earlier complaint. I came back to my dorm room to find a phone number written on my whiteboard. When I texted the number to see who wrote it, the person on the other end (who we'll call Jane Doe) said that she hadn't written her number on any whiteboards. So I deleted the number from my phone and thought that was the end of it. Today, however, one of her "friends" called me and told me that "Jane" was interested in meeting me. However, as soon as I told this "friend" that I doubted the veracity of her statements, seeing as the number had been written without Jane's knowledge, the "friend" hung up on me. How do I proceed from here? Also, Tragic Comedian, how did your similar situation pan out?

[Teddy]

Also, forgot to hit quote on it, but thanks Teddy. But don't go to such troubles just for me

Troubles? Nah, I assume that the morning after I take my flight certificate (which is a thing that's going to happen, I can't let it be any other way), I'll wake up hanging upside down in a random conifer tree with no recollection of how I got there. That, or as a fine red spatter on Kebnekaise's mountain side...

Yea, I was going to say.
I know that some companies purposefully set up parts of their 'shop' in countries where copyright is either much longer than the US or it never goes out of copyright, so that they can always argue that someone is infringing on their copyright.

There are countries with even longer copyrights than the US? I mean, Disney...

But why ruin perfectly good books by using them in school? Surely the best books should be saved for those who actually want to read them...

Yeah, this is mostly true, although I liked Animal Farm when we read it in English class...

[LaZodiac]

I don't do threads, more often then not.

I would rather you NOT do that, please and thank you. You're my friend, and if you die because of me I'll find and kill you!

I texted her and she never replied.

The 'friend' was doing the college equivalent of writing someones phone number on a bar bathroom wall with the words "for a good time call...."
Don't take it personally and let it drop, is my suggestion.
Or if you think you can wing it, call the number and suggest that their friends are words I can't use on this forum, and that they should hang out with you instead.

[KuReshtin]

MoonCat is obviously 31 years old. Or will be at some point in the future, at least.

I find it amusing that Atlantean still don't know my age, though.

You fool! It's the perfect opportunity to go "haha, what a crazy situation, let's grab a drink together and laugh about it!" :P

[Dimonite]

Yeah, I'm NOT of drinking age. Nor am I inclined to do illegal things. But other than the alcohol, that seems like it could be good advice.

Coffee is a drink.

Yeah, it all depends on how I feel in the cockpit. If it's more like when I'm driving a car, then you won't have to worry, but if it's more like when I'm on a bicycle, then I can't guarantee anything.

That said, when I get myself a flight certificate, I would probably like to spend a summer just flying around the Earth and spend more time in the air than on the ground. Even the most monotone taiga is more interesting to study from the air than most of the regular tourist-y things you can do here on the ground.

Given, I'd need quite a large plane if I wish to do it intercontinental, and I don't dare thinking about the fuel costs. Or the amount of paperwork involved in doing a thing like that, for that matter.

Yha, completely understandable. Best way to do it I think is to find some excentric billionare and ask him to create a "around the world in 80 days" esque documentry.

Also from what I've heard it's more like driving a car. As long as you're safe though, I care about you man.

[Maxios]

So, I'm writing out dialogue trees for a game. Any advice?

[AtlanteanTroll]

I find it amusing that Atlantean still don't know my age, though.

40 something. I don't really care. I know the age of Sheep and Tragic, and seeing as those are the people who I actually talk to on here, I'm all good.

[wadledo]

I feel wounded AT.
I feel very wounded.

Go down the route that Pokemon did (hah) and only allow yes and no answers.

Do I know you?

[wadledo]

Do I know you?

No, but can any man truly know another?

[Maxios]

Yeah, I don't think that would work in an RPG where the player's actions change the course of the plot, a la Alpha Protocol

[AtlanteanTroll]

No, but can any man truly know another?

Yes?

Yeah, I don't think that would work in an RPG where the player's actions change the course of the plot, a la Alpha Protocol

Hey, hey. You never said anything about an in-depth RPG.

[wadledo]

Yes?

Really?
Huh, who knew.

[Tragic_Comedian]

I just played the guitar and sang Wagon Wheel for a bunch of my floormates. They like me now.
