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

[Mynxae]

New pony avatar, yay! Made it myself partially with a lot of help from Ele in Inkscape.

'Tis my OC Pony, mwahahahaha! Now, to see if I can try and design a Hallowe'en costume for him tomorrow afternoon/night...

Hmm... Now that I see it again... That eye needs work.

I could've left it how it was in the beginning, a blurred weird thing.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Alone in a motel with your young ladyfriend!?

The Scandal of it all!

Hah. Spring Break is probably going to be me and two lady friends (maybe three lady friends and one guy friend) roadtripping out west.

*sheds a single tear* Oh AT, I'm-a so proud-a You!

*MANLY CRUSHING HUG OF BEARD*

I had a strange night on a strange bed due to a strange request with a strange dog.

Can't *gasp* breath *gasp* beard *gasp* crushing *gasp*

Coid, good sir, you can't just say that. You must give us the deets. Inquisitive minds want to know!!

[Mutant Sheep]

Heh, AT roadtripping with bitches women on each arm.

Strange night? With a dog? Nonobo, only way to have a strange nght with a dog is if its a really cute husky and you're watching The Thing.

Maybe after I'm done excursioning with the padre.

Gotta run now, toodles~

[AtlanteanTroll]

Heh, AT roadtripping with bitches women on each arm.

Yeah, well. They're my friends, nothing more. It's not like I have trouble making female friends.

[LaZodiac]

Glad you guys are all having fun.

Meanwhile, shoveling snow erryday *cries*

[Amidus Drexel]

I'd gladly trade you the frigging weather we have here for some snow... (although I hear that I might get some in a week or two, which will be nice, if it happens)

At least it finally stopped being stupidly warm. I should not feel like using the AC in October.

[Devmaar]

Today I went to the shop
I forgot to buy milk
So I went to the other shop
And forgot to buy milk

Being an adult is hard.

Is being an adult an actual change, or do we all just turn into Moonie?

Lists man, lists! They'll help you remember! The act of writing something down can assist in remembering things.

I count it as from the moment you become responsible for buying enough food to survive

[AtlanteanTroll]

That seems like a decent quantifier, but I'm not sure it works all by itself.

[Tragic_Comedian]

You become an adult when all your dreams are dead and buried.

[Asta Kask]

Hmm, I've never been too fond of the Julmust you'd find in a plastic bottle. Then again, I'm accustomed to a stronger variety than most other sorts, so most of the others just taste watered down to me. Also, I'm slightly sceptical toward plastic bottles as containers in general. It's probably just a figment of my imagination, but it feels like quality only comes in a glass bottle...

Sounds like you're the connoisseur. I'm willing to chip in if you decide to ship it.

Hmm... shipping Kneenibble and a bottle of Julmust...

[Dimonite]

You become an adult when all your dreams are dead and buried.

If you start getting issues of Cynics Weekly, those are from me.

[Mutant Sheep]

.... Ok, this isn't funny, guys. Who put me in the adult database? I've been getting Cynics for years.

[AtlanteanTroll]

My parents' personal definition of when you become an adult is "When you turn 40." Although, that doesn't really work either, because a lot people still aren't mature at 40.

[Amidus Drexel]

You become an adult when all your dreams are dead and buried.

Does it count if we don't have any dreams, and just want to graduate?

.... Ok, this isn't funny, guys. Who put me in the adult database? I've been getting Cynics for years.

No, the government puts you in another database when you turn 18. (granted, I'm pretty sure this is US only. But you live in the US, so it still works)

[Mercenary Pen]

.... Ok, this isn't funny, guys. Who put me in the adult database? I've been getting Cynics for years.

Database? What Database? I mean, all we did was stole your remaining childhood and locked it away in a bank vault at the bottom of a hardened bunker... in a foreign country...

Thank God I own a light table.

[Coidzor]

^: I'm sorry, what?



...So I just had some pan-fried rye toast in creole-seasoned suet and lard as a tomato sandwich.

Didn't even need mayonnaise because of the whole being pan-fried in animal fat.

Fur gets thicker & you get fur where there was no fur before

You thought I was a dog, but I'm the THING!~

That I can't link on GITP.

So, maybe I misheard her, but one of my neighbours told me to make myself at home, repeatedly, and when she gave me the brief tour so I didn't freak out about there being skeletons in the attic or lose the dog anywhere or what have you, she made a big point of encouraging me to use either her bed or her daughter's bed to sleep over with the dog to keep it comfortable as well as all but telling me to finish off the beer in her fridge and shower over there.

Yeah, well. They're my friends, nothing more. It's not like I have trouble making female friends.

Aww. Not the cutie that's interested in you?

You can generally get a pretty good grinder to turn beans into turkish coffee for not too much if you are patient or better at looking than I am. Possibly pre-ground normal coffee as well. Bulk cardamom will bring down the price of the cardamom too, especially from more international themed supermarkets from my experience here in the states.

Getting a good hand-grinder that isn't ridiculous and more of a showpiece than a functional part of the kitchen is a bit of a search though, but well worth it. As they're phenomenal for other grinding purposes. There's some other form of grinder that can be used for turkish coffee that isn't a dedicated piece but I forget the term for it.

Good stuff, all around.

[Kneenibble]

I just can't imagine Hallowe'en at all... I've never done anything for it in my life.

The adult version is generally a costume party, usually with alcohol. The whole affair bears echoes of Saturnalia. By Hallowe'en here, usually, there has been a few light snows, and the temperature will be crisply around freezing or lower. It's very pleasant.

*hugs and makes tea for*
Do not worry. We still have the power to turn the computers off if they decide to seek our destruction, whether physically or mentally.

Thank you. *hugs*
The game is so artfully made in its horror, though, that I carried a psychic hangover from the experience each time I played. It got deep inside me.

Heh, suggesting that a gift is ment to be seen as Japanese has become my standard phrase for when someone's package seems too light and unrattly to actually contain something.

Hmm... I wouldn't ask for anything, because gifts should always come without a demand for compensation. And I'm woefully unaware of what I actually want to get to start with...

IRN:
I actually started researching regulations, because why not, and while I suppose the Canadian Border Services Agency may be good on many things, making user-friendly websites is not one of them. I mean, compare it to the website of our customs agency, where I without any hesitation found what I was searching for in 5 clicks. I mean, the only thing that distinguishes the Canadian site from any random web page of dubious quality is the distinct lack of ad banners...

Sending foodstuff by mail doesn't seem all too illegal (unlike sending used airplanes by mail). Still, no reference to what forms you need to fill in...

Hahaha, wow. For shame, Canada! I think what you need is at Canada Post's website rather than Border Services.

All our government websites are pretty shabby, to tell you the truth. They all look like they haven't been redesigned since 2004.

Don't cry, mea Borealis! The snow has begun here as well. Remember to take frolicking breaks while you shovel!

Hmm... shipping Kneenibble and a bottle of Julmust...

That sounds, , , um, like it might be painful.

Turkish Toffee.
That was not a mistype.

[Coidzor]

...My eyes must be playing tricks on me again. I double checked that twice.

Oh, well, I'm sure Turkish Toffee doesn't even require specialized equipment if you set your mind to it.

Also, seriously, if you've never had turkish coffee, give it a whirl.

[Kneenibble]

Yesh, Turkish coffee is a delicious delicious potion! If you make it right, the bubbles on its surface glitter in bright rainbow jewel tones from the coffee oils.
