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

[Elemental]

guys. Finished the second season of Doctor Who. I already watched the first episode of the third season a little bit ago, and then I watched the end of the final episode and it all connected perfectly and I just fell out of my chair.

Help me. I've been given the role of a slightly mad (nervous revenge-driven breakdown) doctor (of linguistics) and I immediately incorporated a bow tie into his suit.

I'm turning into a Whovian, I really really think so.

Oh, and I just found out one of the Intellectual *******s watches Doctor Who when he mumbled a reference to it during lunch, then proceeded to blush and mumble "allons-y" under his breath when I caught what he said.

Antidisestablishmentarianism?

There's nothing wrong with bow ties. Though I personally prefer the more standard variety.
Note to self: Watch more Doctor Who.

Nah, floccinaucinihilipilification,

Yes, do.

Turning into? Think so?

If we were talking vampirism, you'd be 20 years past the point where dusting the head vampire would have done you any good if your... emotional content is any indication.

How odd. Does the rest of the antisocial brigade hate Dr. Who or something?

I'm a sailor, knowing how to use ropes* is one of the most important skills.

*There are no ropes on a boat.

I'm a Sailor. Knowing how to use ropes lines is pretty important when you wind up on marlinspike duty, which so I'm told happens to everyone except corpsmen.

Fun fact: nylon line is several times stronger than natural fiber lines, but if it's stretched too far (about 40 to 65 percent of its natural length), the snapback when it breaks is powerful enough to cut a man in half!

Accursed wisdom tooth...

[Mutant Sheep]

Moonie, ALL people like a tv show. Even the Intellectuals. Yes, it was hard for me to grasp that they were people too.

I personally don't mind the Doctor. But I just don't really feel like watching more episodes. (I watched a really funy one once though. Was him and the other eviiiil bearded Time Lord doing time travel hijinxs in a castle. Then at the end there's Daleks because evil, and said evil gets Dalek breasts, and the Dr. changes into a woman with, actually, worse breasts.
If all Dr. Who is like that, I might actually watch more.

ION: Yay. Guess what day it is??? NOT MARCH 11th!

That wasn't an episode, that was a PARODY, you silly ship!

[Mutant Sheep]

Well I was channel surfing one day and saw a Dr. Who thing and went "I hears this be gooods". How am I supposed to now it was a parodoxical!

Wow, I'm glad you're having fun though. Looks like this is another series you'll probably force me to watch

I've noticed a LOT of my friends have tons of shows that they really like to throw at me. Black Butler, Dr Who, Dr Horrible's Sing Along Blog, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls.

[AtlanteanTroll]

So, in addition to not being fond of DiskWorld and MLP, I hate Adventure Time and Homestuck. I also find no real appeal in the Doctor. *runs like Hell for having unpopular opinions*

I.. I AGREE WITH YOU ON MUCH! When did this happen?

Discworld, I never understood. MLP, its too creepy a fanbase. Adventure Time is... yeah... I dont see how that is a thing. And Homestuck, I just don't give a chance. Meh. *shruggey smiley cuz no smiley and bored and woke up and daylights yay but still sleeep*

You agree with me a lot of the times and on a lot of things ... You fool.

[Tragic_Comedian]

I like Discworld and Adventure Time. I don't like My Little Pony.

Meh, there's no point in lynching people for their opinions. For as long as you won't try to convert me to your ideas, I promise I won't try to cause you any harm, be it through words, underhanded code or just a concentration of negative energy.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!

Heh, the longest word in Swedish is probably best described through pseudocode:

Spoiler

Show

  s = ""
loop:
  append "hjul" to s
  goto loop

(I chose "hjul" (Swedish for "wheel") because a "hjulhjul" isn't an all too foreign concept (I imagine it as a wheel mounted on a wheel). If you run this simple piece of code for all eternity, you'll get one of the longest words in the Swedish alphabet, which basically means "wheel on a wheel on a wheel..." repeating ad nauseum.

They're not that type of nerd.

HOW IS BLACK BUTLER COMING ALONG, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT??

...

You misspelled it. IT'S DISCWORLD YOU ROTTEN NO GOOD SLIMY LITTLE-



Just kidding. Although I am curious why you don't like it. Which books did you read?

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis!

Nice. I actually pronounce that one better than I do floccinaucinihilipilification.

I like Discworld and Adventure Time. I don't like My Little Pony.

NO! NO! NO! NO! I will NOT share fandoms with you! NononononononoNO!

[AtlanteanTroll]

The one I remember reading is Monstrous Regiment, which I read when I was in Japan because my friend had been badgering me to read it and I needed something American (besides my mother's company) to keep me ... grounded if you will. I know I tried a few others, but I can't remember for the life of me which ones they were. Some of the more popular ones I believe. They weren't bad I guess, just ... Eh.

[LaZodiac]

HOW IS BLACK BUTLER COMING ALONG, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT??

I haven't yet started watching the anime, but now that my internet usage has reset due to it being a new month, I probably shall! Now if only you could come online so I could talk about it with you~

[Coidzor]

What? <I'm turning into Mutant as well it seems. I have no idea what you mean. >

You need to bone up on your vampire mythoseseseseses then if you've never heard of the ones where newly turned but not yet consummated vampires can revert if you kill the headpire.

They're not that type of nerd.

And here I had been left with the impression that there wasn't a specific type of nerddom or geekdom required to like Dr. Who, or even to not automatically regard it with bitter loathing.

So that leaves... what, are they the kind that doesn't like anything, then? Oh to be so jaded and not even out of puberty's grip.

Well there's your problem. Terry Pratchett is British!

"That one" being the disease, or the chemical formula?

I always thought an interesting linguistics project would be to discover what language Ozzy Osbourne speaks.

Antidisestablishmentarianism?

They found a cure for that, you know - you can stop wearing that puce ribbon.

[Teddy]

I've spent the last 2-3 hours looking through all of Hans Rosling's TED Talks, because I'm going to see him live this upcoming Wednesday. ♫

They said he's the World's most highly sought discourser, and I'm not going to lift a finger to challenge that. I'm just so excited. :3

[AtlanteanTroll]

I knew that, I swear. Ah well.

Meh, there's no point in lynching people for their opinions. For as long as you won't try to convert me to your ideas, I promise I won't try to cause you any harm, be it through words, underhanded code or just a concentration of negative energy.

That's pretty much why I hate ponies. I used to be neutral towards it with no real interest in it, but the fan base is so passive aggressive.

Passive aggressive? We actively converted everyone in the house by forcing them to sit through a couple of episodes until they were brainwashed, errr, I mean, hooked.

Granted, I'm rather dispassionate and generally lack fire even for things I like, so I'll forget to keep up with my shows if I don't make a point of it, so I'm having to play catch up again. Kind of funny, really, so little fire left in me for what I love, ah, but what I despise with every fiber of my being...

I definitely knew that myth...

Weeel, they're more... know stuff and be more intelligent than the rest of the school nerds. The kind who do Mock Trial and School Trivia.

I mean, I do those too, but I do other nerdy things that make me into a different type of nerd-type.

"That one" being the disease, or the chemical formula?

The word.

Huh?

This is why I've still only seen a few episodes of Adventure Time...

I haven't ever seen MLP, bit I imagine that will only last until my gf obtains a copy she can make me watch

I have read every Discworld book though (unless there's been one since Snuff). That is something I am a fan of.

[enderlord99]

I know of a few songs that are almost, but not quite, as annoying as the ones Pinkie Pie sings:

• Never gonna give you up
• It's a small world after all
• Ken Lee
• This

[LaZodiac]

I thought you'd already watched part of it...?

Right, I forgot that because It's been so long. I'm a doofish
