Coid's Crowing Conundrum of a Canticle of Crookedly Random Banter #185

[MoonCat]

That's largely irrelevant, because "Cat" is not the same as "-"

Wait... What?

What?

So you're SHORTER than Lala's waist?

Huh wha? Who sayed cat wha I CONFUSED AGAN SOMEONE WITH A GRASP OF INGLIS COME SAVE ME.

<grumbles>I knew that would happen, but I couldn't figure how to word it right.

Yeah.

You forgot Wilfred Mott! How could you forget Wilfred Mott?!

WILF! ^.^

[enderlord99]

What?

Mutant said something about "Moon-" being shorter than LaLa.

[HalfTangible]

Mutant said something about "Moon-" being shorter than LaLa.

... They're both four letters. Did you mean the full names?

MoonCat
LaZodiac

... Short by one letter. Just barely >.>

...

Stop looking at me like that!

[Coidzor]

You forgot Wilfred Mott! How could you forget Wilfred Mott?!

...Who?

...I want apple sauce now.

Oi! I don't come up to LaLa's waist!

How the heck tall is Lala's waist?

WILF! ^.^

That's cute and all, but, TMI, love, TMI.

[Rawhide]

I disagree, but I doubt we're going to get any further than this. In the future, could you please just refrain from telling me to start doing things you know I already do, because I don't want any more confusion than I've already had...

I have absolutely no idea whatsoever what you have or haven't started doing, and you gave no indication either way. Plus, it is a very common expression and means no offence. The correct response when someone says that and you have is a simple "yeah, I already have".

Even when it's metaphorical, at least make it clear that it is your perception, and not everyone's. I don't like having subjective ideas being delivered as if they were objective, and especially not when they concern me directly. I can deal with the former, but the latter hurt me personally.

For that sentence, it does not matter in the slightest what was intended. I was mentioning what did happen. That sentence was not discussing anything subjective. I would suggest you read the sentence again, but this time replace "tone implying" with " the implication", though that changes the meaning of the sentence, as it no longer shows that it carries on and "tainted" the message and future meanings. As an example, if you walk into a room and insult someone loudly, even without intent to do so, you set the tone of the room. You set how the interactions everyone in the room will have with you will go from then on. The point is that the meaning you attached there carried to everything you said after it, as you continued to argue and defend that point, even if you didn't mean to.

Donna's grandpa.

No, I'm taller than her waist I just... nevermind.

What?

[LaZodiac]

*lots of stuff*

GDgragragra so much snow.

...
*wishes he had snow*
*wishes he had an airplane with snow landing equipment*

You're satan why would you want this I spent four hours shoveling today four hours four hours four hours four hours.

[MoonCat]

Why don't you just let it stay on the ground?

[Qwertystop]

Why don't you just let it stay on the ground?

You've never had snow, have you...

[MoonCat]

You've never had snow, have you...

One year, we had about a foot and a third of snow, which lasted for over a week. People round here still refer to it as a blizzard winter.

I'm not kidding.

And you don't get why snow needs to be shoveled?

[MoonCat]

And you don't get why snow needs to be shoveled?

Nope. Can't you, like, walk through it? Or over it? I've heard that sometimes it gets compact enough...

[Mutant Sheep]

A foot and a third? WEAK. Chicago is hardly the Arctic, and we still get plenty more than that.

Snow is shoveled for reasons not dissimilar to leaves being raked. It gets in the way and is fun to play with when in large enough quantities. But shovelign can ruin the texture and you lose alot of snow that way, so you only shvoel.. the palces you need to, like THE DOORWAY.

[Qwertystop]

Driveways. Walking paths.

If it gets compact enough that it isn't awkward to wade through, then when it starts melting, it'll turn to ice.

Rainshadow, dummy. The mountains really get in the way of us getting proper weather apparently, as that was the most snow I'd ever seen in my town at once. MAny years we don't get any.

Uh... No one in my town rakes leaves. I don't think I've ever actually seen a large number of dead leaves together in my life. Evergreen State, y'see. Do those get in the way a lot?

[Coidzor]

^: Yes. Having a pile of dead leaves that's as big as a grizzly bear can become an issue.

And Ice? Ice kills.

Especially black ice.

[MoonCat]

Ooh, what's that?

[LaZodiac]

I kind of want you to come online so I can tell you, but I don't she why I can't tell you here, just to elaborate for those who also don't know.

It is required by law to keep our sidewalk clear of snow, because if someone slips on ice or something and gets hurt, that's our buisness.

Secondly, that "foot and a third" of snow you got. We could literally get that much snow IN LESS THEN AN HOUR. It tends to snow for hours at a time. The bit of snow we had today was nearly up to my knees, in the places where I HAD to shovel. We can totally walk through this, totally. We'll get cold though. And if we get MORE snow fall like this, eventually we literally cannot leave the house because the door is blocked in by snow.

So that's why we can't leave the snow on the ground.

Blackice is hardened ice on the road and, if you're unlucky, on the sidewalk. Blackice is basically extra slippery ice that hates you.

What is with you and your obsession with me being online?

How often do you have to do that?

Doesn't the snow collapse if it gets that high?

Oh. OKay.

[LaZodiac]

I like talking to my friends, is all

Anywhere from once a week, to once every day for the rest of winter because mother nature hates me.

No. Snow is VERY good at compressing and compacting. It does not collapse, it simply becomes more solid. Maybe it's becuase you've literally never seen this much snow before, but trust me, it happens. You get these honestly kinda cool layering effect, where sometimes the snow comes apart in large chunks that you can pick up. It's how Igloo's work, after all. They're made out of snow, compressed into bricks. This is just nature's way of making blocks.

[MoonCat]

This sounds awesome! I'm moving to Canada!

[LaZodiac]

If you do, bring lots of warm blankets. Then we can snuggle together once you realize that all this snow means that it will be unfathomably cold for you.

Like, I'm not kidding, comfortale weather for me is a little below freezing. That's COMFORTABLE. I could relax INSIDE YOUR FREEZER. This is normal to me.

No you couldn't. Even I'm a bit cramped in it, you'd never be able to get in comfortably, if at all. Anyway, you'd likely be unable to relax due to a lack of air eventually becoming a problem.

Well yes I mean if it was open. And you don't have to relax in the freezer with me, I meant in a nice warm bed full of pillows and plushies and blankets and stuff.

Also, by freezer, I mean deep freeze, not fridge freezer.

What's that, then?

[LaZodiac]

What's that, then?

A deep freeze is basically a big box that acts like the freezer of a fridge, but it's usually bigger then a fridge. Theoretically it's big enough for someone of my height to sit in comfortable, assuming no food products are inside.

An idea I had for visiting places down south was to make a drivable deep freeze, and just drive around in a bikini while inside said deep freeze mobile. My mind goes strange places sometimes.

It's also invisible, which is what makes it so dangerous. You're driving along, start to turn a corner, then suddenly have no traction.

I'll leave it to you work out the exact coefficient of friction.

What do you know of black ice, sweet Hide, smuggling budgies on the beach and barbe-a-queueing in July?

When you have flung my feet over my head and bruised my tailbone, you may speak to me of black ice.YES THAT WAS AN INNUENDO

I believe it is "0=F+U"

Because seriously, screw winter and everything it brings but the death of insects.

[Amidus Drexel]

Holy crap, you people posted a whole bunch.
This, however, is truly disturbing.

Ok, so, Hostes, the company, creators of Twinkies and other such products, has decided to shut down.

This is why we can't have nice things, people.

That's... terrible. I am shocked. This is the first thing that's surprised me in months. Not kidding.

Heh, black ice is fun, on a sidewalk. You can sit on a bench and watch people slip on it. (and, if you're like me, forget about it and slip on it yourself on the way home). On a road? No.

ION: I finally have cold weather! YEAH!

And, of course, the first thing I do when it gets below freezing is to have a camping trip. I have had the whole weekend to relax, and it has been wonderful.

IOON: No classes for me Wed-Fri! This is starting to look like a very good week.

Edit:

I'll trade ya. You come live in Virginia, I'll move to Canada.
