Kneenibble's Knack for Knightly Knickers: a Knell for Random Banter #184

what is this warm and fuzzy feeling inside when reading this thread?

Perhaps you ate a cat? Please don't tell me it's Moonie.

Stomach kittens. The most adorable of diseases.

[The Succubus]

I bet MoonCat tastes yummy though. Like moon pie with furballs.

[Dimonite]

Well, I've understood that you Americans mostly think about Norwegians (because they were first), but we Swedes tend to refer to those areas as "Svenskbygderna" ("the Swedish settlements") due to the many Swedes who settled down there during the great migrations in the latter half of the 19th century. Especially Minnesota was a popular choice (I've even got relatives living there), so I'm not finding this the slightest weird. Unusual, perhaps, but that's another thing.

Never heard of someone named Steda, however, and Nels sounds like an Amerification of Nils.

Well, I think of Minnesota as Swedish, but that's mostly because my last name is a randomly chosen Swedish word that one of my ancestors decided on because he was tired of getting mail intended for other people named John Johnson. (I'd tell you what word, but then nefarious forces could do nefarious things with that)

...And his name actually is Nils; I just mistyped it.

[Heliomance]

Oh, my.

[The Succubus]

Not in *that* way, yeesh. I vaguely recall making comments about cannibalising other playgrounders recently, specifically with regards to Sheepie.

I swear, I was threatening to eat other sheep. I'm pretty sure Mutant-mutton would be bad for me.

[The Succubus]

Or....it might just give you SUPERPOWERS.

[Feytalist]

I swear, I was threatening to eat other sheep. I'm pretty sure Mutant-mutton would be bad for me.

Or possibly turn you into Super... erm, Sheep.

Hopefully not the explodey Worms kind.

[Coidzor]

This discussion of Moon & Sheep gives new meaning to the song A Little Priest, in my mind.

That reminds me, I really need to learn how to make meat pies.

Aww, now you got me curious and everything.

[Elemental]

Aww, now you got me curious and everything.

It is indeed unfortunate to have curiosity that remains unsated.
I suggest channelling such feeling into building a giant space telescope to spy on people who are concealing their true identities from you.

[Socratov]

No it's not eating a cat, let alone Moonie. I have a terrible allergy to cats, it was merely a slightly snarky (waay too little to mandate the color blue) way to comment on the absolute cute and fuzzzyness of the 2 posts before mine And now I feel stupid for explaining the joke

Stomach kittens. The most adorable of diseases.

could be, but allergies won't make it pretty, not by far...

(btw, I'm really sad at being allergic to cats since they can indeed be fantastic pets to, well, pet. fortunately anti allergy stuff exists so I can still touch them without choking or anything)

Is that so you can put people in them and have The Succubus as your Mrs Lovett?

[Mutant Sheep]

Aww, now you got me curious and everything.

Also, Minnesota has Vikings? *had to do it, IM SORRY!*

*giggle*

Curiousity killed the cat. Or it might have been cannibalism. We'll get back to you.

[Dimonite]

Of course we do. That's WHY the football team is called the Vikings, you silly ship!

[Mutant Sheep]

YES! THATS WHY I GIGGLED.

*wants to watch Pokemon the First Movie again, but schooooooooool*

I agree with Drex.

Also, DO SOME STUPID ASS FLASH GAMES! THOSE ARE SO FUN!

[Amidus Drexel]

ION.
I have to give a talk in class on Wednesday morning... y'know, Hallowe'en. In my undergrad days, I used to come to school in drag if I had class on Hallowe'en. I'm wondering if I could even pull that off anymore.

Do it; you know you want to, and it will be hilarious.

ION: NO SCHOOL TODAY!!! Woot! Now the problem of "How do I keep myself occupied for the hours I would normally be in class" is presented...

[Coidzor]

Is that so you can put people in them and have The Succubus as your Mrs Lovett?

Honestly I just like pies with lumps of unidentifiable meat and teeny potato chunks....and oniony bits...

Blargh. I feel like an old man every time I get sick like this where I have to run to the bathroom like an incontinent sprinter.

[The Succubus]

I would "Try the Priest" as the song suggests but Dragonprime is away from the boards at the moment. I also don't think he approves of cannibalism either. Silly boy.

[Kneenibble]

I drink quite a lot of soda, but I prefer the traditional Swedish varieties such as Trocadero and Portello (and especially Julmust, but that one's reserved for Christmas (and the following half of the year )) over the mainstream Coca-Cola/Pepsi sortiment.

When I was researching Swedish cuisine [which may or may not have had to do with my failed attempts to seduce H Birchgrove], I came across this thing Julmust. It sounds delicious and I quite wish to drink it.

The chances that I will ever get some, however, are disappointingly measly.

Oh, my.

You have a talent for coming just in time to hear something you shouldn't. I admire that.

I don't think I'm pretty enough anymore. ;___;
I do not have the long golden hair, nor the cream-smooth skin that I used to


It snooowed today! A thin soft fleece lays over the shaded world.
It will not last more than a day or two; this is the way with Winter here. It makes a few first assaults that are wiped away, until at last it in November it gains its foothold and dumps, and dumps, and dumps, thickening its fortifications until the great revolution in April.

Nonsense. Physical appearance is the least important part. You possess a keen mind and a tongue capable of working in tandem to produce words that stand at the very zenith of human speech.

Here is of course, an example of what I meant.

Hey, being pretty has nothing to do with wearing drag.

Nice! I wish it would snow here. As it happens right now, I'm saddled with unusually warm weather for October. The only upside to that is it isn't cold as hell when I'm standing around outside scaring little kids.

IKEA can help! And it's worth a trip to visit sometime when you go to a place that has one.

That's a great talent, I must admit.

What is a stupid ass-flash game?

Probably one with a bad artist, haha.

Pfft, that's what make-up is for. Many women have comfortably remained 35 for years, after all, to paraphrase and butcher an Oscar Wilde Play Quote.

I wonder how much it would cost to send some to you by post... it would have to go by boat, I suppose, or it would explode in a depressurized cabin.

*hugs the Elemental* And yet: if I'm dressed as a goofy-looking old queen, will my words not be altogether tinted with a grotesque comedy? And unable to be taken seriously? Probably no one else will be dressed for Hallowe'en, and I will only shock them.

Are you feeling better today?

Heh heh, by plenty of extant examples, that is true.

I cannot imagine a warm unsnowy Hallowe'en. It wouldn't feel right! How could it be eery if you cannot see your breath?

My city has an IKEA now, too! I'll have to check them for Julmust. It opens in a month. I'm not sure how I feel about it, since my tastes are more for grubby meretricious antiques than the clean simplicity of their wares. Perhaps if nothing else it will be a good place to meet men [except probably only couples will be shopping there for their fancy gay homes, grr].

I lack the subtle touch of those perennial painted ladies, alas, and would probably wind up looking like a grubby and meretricious antique myself.

That would be a very sweet gesture, and I would definitely send something Canadian in return. Hmm, maple syrup would be a bit trite [or would it?]... we don't really have anything culturally seasonal...

The shipping costs would be too much to consider, in all probability

Well, the small-batch, handcrafted *good* stuff is certainly worthy of gift-giving. As is the maple candy, but I don't know if that's actually a Canadian thing or a thing that people decided to market as if it were a Canadian thing when really it's a Vermont thing.

But don't we export the stuff everywhere? Like, would Kaskatoon, as a Swede, find any novelty in the taste -- or would it just sit quotidian in his pantry for thirty years?

I gave some of the *good* stuff to an obscenely wealthy man I met in India, and I always wondered if he appreciated the gift, or if he just thought "I MY SERVANTS CAN BUY THIS IN THE GROCERY STORE YOU CHEAP HOSER"

There is maple candy to be had, yes, of which I am quite fond. Now that you mention it it tends to surface around Christmas. Hmm.
