TRAG KNOWS TRIVIA ABOUT THE ENLIGHTMENTMENT! RUN!

I'm actually quite well-read, you know. I have an interest in philosophy.

Edit: That sounded so stuck up when I read it back. I'm still a fun guy, y'all.

Yes, I know, I was just amused.

Latin phrases are painful in that English lacks the finesse to effectively translate the thought and poetry right. It always comes out... clunky.

And I have trouble talking about clunky translations because I always get the wrong context or interpret it wrong.)

Edit: Yes Moonie, Between Shades is NOT NOT NOT Fifty Shades. Also, you think your dad would suggest THAT to you?

Yeesh. Go slap him with the Similarion.

It was fun! And yeah, Descartes.

I know that dude. Honestly, you think I'm that much of an idiot?

And no, I wouldn't.

I'm not sure that mixing cheese, peanut butter (crunchy) and plain white rice was such a good idea..

**Feytalist** · 2012-09-17, 01:15 AM (ISO 8601)

So my great aunt turned 99 last week.

That's quite something.

And you couldn't work that out in advance?

Anyway... I've got rehearsal tonight, and I really don't want to go...
Oh well... I didn't go last week, so I have to go this week...

I'm curious as to who "that Russian lady" is.

Fun fact - The original phrase was in French, although he put it in Latin in some of his later work. It means basically the same in all three languages, although some understanding of the context helps to avoid misinterpretation. It's about existence of consciousness, not life per se.

That sounds quite tasty actually.

**Mynxae** · 2012-09-17, 04:22 AM (ISO 8601)

I thought it was going to be yum (somehow) but it turned out just plain yuck... Managed to stomach about half of it and then ended throwing the rest of it away.

That might be harder to get than you think, I'm notoriously good at not getting caught on film (and I'm not even camera-shy). I just went through all our pictures from our Danish-German holiday this summer (~450 pictures), and there were 2 pictures where I was close up, turned to the camera and not blurry. One of the pictures included a bit too much of the rest of my family for me to feel comfortable posting here, and I barely recognised myself in the other.

I'll check a few other albums when I get home from school.

Cheese? Rice? PEANUT BUTTER? Good sir, not all mad scientist creations end well...

In the right combination, it has the potential to be something quite good. You do know what satay sauce is made with, right?

But it isn't cheesy.. If I didn't add cheese, it would've been omnomnom. I think I'll just stick to noodles..

Actually, that sounds fine to me. Then again, I've been known to enjoy a peanut butter and pepperoni sandwich, so I may not be the best judge of things involving peanut butter.

Look for the Mighty Maple Sandwich, or the BLT.

All I can say in response to that is that there are the weirdest restaurants out there.
Also, it's nice of them to provide non-peanut options for those of who are conservative in our culinary choices.

Anyway, I'm going to bed.
Goodnight everyone!

**Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll** · 2012-09-17, 11:08 AM (ISO 8601)

I've made a peanut butter and bacon sandwich before.

Basically, I wanted a meat sandwich but couldn't find any meat, so I was like "oh well, let's toast the bread and make a toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich." So I toasted the bread and put the peanut butter on, when I realized that we had some bacon left from the night before. So I had a toasted peanut butter and bacon sandwich. It was AWESOME. I would recommend it.

Edit: actually, the quote in my Sig is in response to the other time I brought up this sandwich on the forum...

That sounds like the best idea ever, though!

**Mercenary Pen** · 2012-09-17, 12:10 PM (ISO 8601)

Well, looks like I've gotten maybe a little too obsessed with Nanowrimo- I've been working on my outline for this year since mid-august, and I wish the month had already started.

**Devmaar** · 2012-09-17, 12:51 PM (ISO 8601)

I found myself re-reading part of Scary Go Round and then this happened...

**Heliomance** · 2012-09-17, 01:03 PM (ISO 8601)

Guys.

I found the cutest thing ever.

**wadledo** · 2012-09-17, 01:25 PM (ISO 8601)

So, did I mention on here that I got Silkies (the breed of chicken)?
Because they are the most adorable things ever.

**Coidzor** · 2012-09-17, 02:01 PM (ISO 8601)

Are Silkies very silky? How temperamental are they?

Welp, I know what I'm doing next time I get bacon.

Cute grizzly cub is cute. Hadn't it been for the fact that it's a terrible idea, I'd have wanted one myself. :3

They have hats and shoes made of feathers, and they are surprisingly friendly. I'm trying to get them not to be people-shy, since they make good show-chickens.

**AtlanteanTroll** · 2012-09-17, 02:36 PM (ISO 8601)

I saw a beautiful chicken when I was in the UK. It was black all over and I think I have a picture somewhere...

You. Post picture. No taunting us with the promise of a chicken. Give us the chicken.

**Tragic_Comedian** · 2012-09-17, 05:24 PM (ISO 8601)

Silkies are the lapdog of the chicken family. My uncle has a bunch of 'em.

Truly, the magnificence of this chicken could not be captured in a single photo. Alas.

ION: Goodbye, Farewell, and Amen is on. Sorry homework, you're not getting done tonight.

**Aedilred** · 2012-09-17, 05:32 PM (ISO 8601)

After last year, I thought that this year would be relatively straightforward. It seems that it is, but it turns out that that doesn't mean it's any less work, just that the work is less challenging. And that we get extra work to make up for the lack of challenge. And that completion of this work counts towards your attendance record (90% minimum requirement to pass).

And the course is nearly twice as expensive *bangs head on desk*
