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

Nothing a perfectly oversized deep penetration shell won't take care of. Me and little brother tend to joke about him being quite similar to Hitler in that he's almost magnetically attracted to anything oversized (and especially in regards to weaponry). And not only does he build his own cannons, he's even heading into the field of rocketry now. If we would combine our forces, we could build the best rocket with the best targeting software, and the electronics would be so riddiculously unstable that you'd tape a gremlin to it to add reliability.

Nothing a sufficiently big laser won't be able to handle.

That doesn't include humans, does it?

It does, not in the traditional cannibalistic sense but at least taste a healthy human brain nicely grilled or something.

They eat paper (for some reason, they prefer post-its. We've considered spreading those around as sacrifical anodes just to keep the silverfish off our books), and flood your house, and trust me, that last line is as wrong as wrong gets even when your house spouts spiders the size of your average wristwatch.

Never had an infestation, last time there were hints of them I simply had a entomology bent friend release his little ones on it and watched the wonderful ballet of nature.

That would be... most insects, but not all. You still like some insects.

I meant in terms of species. In terms of species I DO like, it's mainly some reptiles, arthropods and crustaceans, three or four birds, one or two fishes. Mammals I mainly see as food, or eventual oil sources.

Chickens are both delicious, and if you get the right breed, incredibly fuzzy and adorable.

Chickens are delicious, they are amusing to see running headless and have interesting reactions to being galvanized.

(That really depends on what you mean by "traditional cannibalistic". There were groups of people that ate their defeated enemies, and groups of people that ate their own dead, and quite possibly groups that did both.)

I imagine that would taste fairly good. As for the rest of the human muscle tissue, I would imagine it as a rather tough pork or ham. Granted, it would probably taste like chicken, because everything tastes like chicken.

Not in either sense, just clean bodiless organs grilled or something if for identifying the taste and having the experience.

And not everything tastes like chicken, most mammals don't actually. Just try either the most infamous Korean or the most infamous Chinese delicatessen to see that.

Gah, I meant that line as a joke; I ought to have been more clear.

ION: Listening to my friends complain about physics is funny.

Penguins however DO taste like chicken... by virtue of also being avian.

Are they complaining about the subject, the topic or the actual laws?

I was actually under the impression that penguins taste like very tough seal, because of the particularly oily nature of their anatomy.

The subject. Some of them are having a rather hard time with what I find a ridiculously easy class. A handful of people agree with me, but a solid half of the class finds calculating friction to be a fairly difficult challenge.

Odd, others have claimed it to be akin to duck or cod fish or muttonfish, but never seal. Which leads me to wonder what seal taste like and where one could legally acquire an edible amount of it...

Whilst it IS easy, ridiculously bad teachers and idiotic teaching methods lead it to be one of the most hated subjects, crammed with formulas for memorization and "tricky" theory problems.

I hated physics in High School due to bad teachers and idiotic teaching procedures. University physics was much better and got me to like Classical Mechanics again.

[LaZodiac]

Nah, you'd have to squish them to do that. With most bugs, you'd just hit their chitin (for the ones that have it) or their exoskeleton. Or I've gotten my terms mixed up here (as the last time I took any sort of bio class was sophomore year in high school), and both of those mean the same thing (or something completely different entirely).

I personally believe that natural armor is still flesh, and thus counts as bug flesh.

Either way, I get the jibblies just thinking about touching a bug.

Seals are legal in Canada, just rare when you're not ooop north. I've been told they're delicious. Never had it myself.

You could probably get it in Russia, or barring that, China.

Also, I wonder what cuttlefish tastes like. Those are some visually stunning creatures (if not particularly attractive), although they probably just taste like squid or octopus.

[Mutant Sheep]

Eat? Animal? DUDE! Cows and pigsand chickens and such were invented for a reason!

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Nononono, China and Russia are the places you go to buy things that you can't get in any respectable Western country...

Something harmless like seal (despite the controversy in Europe) is much safer here, closer to the source, and probably more environmentally and ethically friendly than anything you can get in the Black-Market-Countries.

Oh, I missed your earlier post there. I just assumed you couldn't get seal legally on this continent (which may have been a little silly to do), although that may be an American thing (heck, it probably isn't illegal here).

You can get anything in any respectable Western country if you look hard enough.

Hmmm, Moscow...

There is a need for a television show about eating exotic animals.

That's for normal people.

Hey, Russia a respectable western country, they spent the last 200 years getting their aristocrats to look the part.

To Winterfell it is then.

Peter the Great forcing the Boyars didn't make them look respectable, it made them look like sissies! (OK, yeah, not 200 years ago. Whatever. )

Oh woops. You're right, I did. Good job inventing the internet BTW.

I send letters to a man in a summer retreat who lives three centuries in the future who in turn posts them.

MoonCat feels sick and blergh.

MoonCat locks self in darkened room with Requiem and fantasizes about getting her fingers chopped off.


I'm not sure why, but it appears to be helping the general effort.

Jeez, it's been a rough week for you, hasn't it? *hugs*

What's Requiem? I..presume it's a song from Black Butler?

Sympathies though the second line is something I'd do out of happiness.

May I recommend Nutella?

Most likely Mozart's

It'd be less likely if it was Ligeti's, which reminds me of what I wanted to listen to next.

Nah, it actually got a lot better, I was just so busy I didn't tell y'all. I just woke up with a really bad sore throat and OD'd on candy today.

PHILISTINE!

Yeah, I'm doing it to cheer me up. For some reason, I really enjoy thinking about terrible permanent injures happening to me. And the music is just gorgeous.

Oh, gods, no, so much candy. Also, swallowing makes me want to die right now.
Yes.

[AsteriskAmp]

The unlabelled one is usually Mozart's though, much like the Adagio is always Barbieri's.

Fingers are to some degree re-attachable though...

Nutella is also a paste more than a solid (or really a colloid) and I'd recommend liquified nutella then, nothing like microwaving a dose of it for easy ingestion.

Yeah, I considered that.
Completely missing the point. I think I'd go insane or more likely vomit if I forced any more sugar on myself.
