Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Yes, the books are all very much about exploration and adapting to a new and unknown situation, all while preserving your own identity. You can still hone your principles, even when your whole world has gone missing.
And, apparently, loganberry is a raspberry-blackberry hybrid, and a breeding component for boysenberry. In this case, however, it's a liberal translation of "lingonsaft", or lingonberry cordial.
The former, although the need rises when I spend long days in school (which in turn causes me to go to bed unreasonably late on those days). Hanging here on the forums is my usual down-time activity, and playing games work as well most of the time, as would reading, but the likelyhood of me being able to engage in any given activity drops drastically by each meter (or abstract equivalent thereof) I have to take to reach it, since my initiative abilities become nigh zero in the meantime, and getting myself a good book usually lies somewhat outside of the scope, which is too bad...
And I would come, because I love to do silly stuff, and I it's not like I'm able to say no either way.
It's cool. Gives you a sense of how the systems work and how there's another world outside your bubble. Given, my mind is all about encapsulation and declosure, so I like it when I can see through one to the other (or do the reverse, obscure the one through the other, but that's not the case here), but the sensation of walking on thin air is great as well.Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was black as soot.
And everywhere that Mary went
Its sooty foot it put.
Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon.
Ten thousand volts shot through its fleece
And turned its wool to nylon.
May had a little lamb
Her father killed it dead.
And everywhere that Mary went
She took her lamb, in bread.Quotebox

She'd shoot him in the face.Avatar by FinnLassie

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
You people are all crazy. And your rhythms are sometimes off.
You were born on a hospital? That's rather unusual...
Oh well then... In that case, I suppose I will have to prepare for random budgie friendship attacks.
I too recommend working in a library to myself. I submitted a volunteer form down at the local library, but I have not yet heard back from them and suspect I never will. I must go and get another form and submit it.
Hopefully, my recent job application to work as a bank teller will be successful. It may not be glamorous or aesthetically pleasing, but who am I to complain?
Indeed it is. Ours has a dark polish to it that makes the lighter wood stand out rather nicely. The difficulty of having to do it would be the time requirement, the cost and the fact that we would have to remove all the furniture from every room. Fortunately, my Dad is a floorsander and polisher by trade, as well as being a plumber by trade, and could do the work himself.
And no, it's not particularly aesthetically pleasing. The polish has dulled in many places and their are large scratches in some areas, mainly the living room.
The floor in my room is perhaps the best, but that is probably because I never spend any time there.
Hmm... As far as I am aware houses here are usually constructed of a timber frame with the interior walls covered in plasterboard and the exterior walls covered with whatever exterior facing was chosen to build it, often weather boards. Our building codes are rather stringent at times.
I think ours is pine mostly... And the main structural beams are rather solid. All in all, houses are usually built solidly here. At least, they were in my immediate local area... I'm not completely certain, but I am confident in the building codes.

I have a theory that, on the internet, Doctor Who is discussed more than every other live action TV show combined. Maybe it's just the sites I visit.

That's because Star Trek is kinda quiet for the moment. And Firefly is fading out of the public consciousness.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
English pronouns are dreadful. If there is one mistake I know I do regularly, then it's using the wrong pronoun in the wrong situation. Given, I suppose haphazard pronoun rules are ubiquitous irregardles of language, and whatever you find logical is actually what you grew up with, but I can't shake the feeling that the English pronouns are even less consistent than the average. Either way, they're wildly different from Swedish, so literal translations are off the table (for example: we Swedes actually do say "on the Hospital" (or rather, the literal translation thereof) in the context of where you were born).

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
I'm more of a "character based drama" kinda guy. I kinda wish people would stop talking about Doctor Who and Firefly partly because I'm not much of a fan of either and partly because talking too much about anything (except music, of course) tends to grate. But hey, that's just me.
But seriously, guys. A little Six Feet Under goes a long way.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
@Teddy: On isn't a pronoun... Pronouns are words that substitute for nouns or noun phrases...
Examples of pronouns include: They, them, I, you, him, her, she, he, his, etcetera.
On is a completely different kind of word. It's a preposition.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Speaking of pronouns; my dad comes from a part of the country with a very odd colloquialism: the tendency to use "he" for just about every object and subject you can think of. My uncle, when speaking of his wife, will say something like "He is not in such a good mood today" or something. I always found it very amusing, till I caught myself doing the same thing.
That's actually just the tip of the iceberg; you can write a thesis on my dad's use of language. Colloquialisms are fun.
I never really liked Six Feet Under, but I wouldn't really be able to give you a reason why. Also I've never actually even seen an episode of Doctor Who, and I should probably hand in my geek membership badge after admitting that.Last edited by Feytalist; 2012-11-16 at 04:28 AM.

You keep it. The inevitable nerd backlash is coming and you're going to need that. When the exasperated contrarians arrive on horseback, cleansing the land from the taint of the Whovians, the only thing that will stay their wrath will be your geek card and the statement you've just made.
They might even make a golden statue of you and worship you.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
Thank you. Apart from that, I have no idea what to say in response to this.
That's right, blame translation errors.
And there's nothing wrong with our prepositions! In means in something, on means on something. Apart from that, I really can't explain it any further because it's such a basic part of language it can't be explained... I shall try though.
We say in the hospital in reference to where one was born because it is kind of inside the hospital. To be on it would require being on the outside, either on the walls or on top of it.
It makes perfect sense, it just can't be adequately explained.Last edited by Elemental; 2012-11-16 at 06:07 AM.

Re: Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185
It's also fairly consistent--when talking about an object capable of containing things (hospitals, cups, cities) we always talk about things being IN them; when talking about objects that don't contain things (trays, tables, counters) then we talk about things being ON them.
I'm sure someone will come along with exceptions to this rule, but I can't think of any off the top of my head!

Don't you just hate it when you have indigestion? From fricken' sausages? Every single time I have them, I get it afterwards. Sometimes barely any pain, other times.. yeah.
