"You people are crazy, especially you."

An embittered backhand remark for Teddy for passing up drugs

"And that's fraud, and forgery."

An accusation upon Dragonprime for plagiarizing Benedictine silence

"How is everything you say so exquisitely eloquent?"

Praise for Ovis, our Mutant Sheep, and the refinement of his prose

"Kneenibble is not old."

Encouragement to AtlanteanTroll to forsake his hangups & leave his wife at last on my behalf

"You live in a city famous for its university, among other things."

Praise for Zodalicious and the academic reputation of her ancient and erudite environs

"Everyone finds his incoherent ramblings hard to read."

An invection upon me and my textual diarrhea

A warning against Dimonite's vengeance upon the whole of Young Theatre People over one's use of improper paint

Was I close?

Yes, finally! It all makes sense now! :smallenlightened:

[Kneenibble]

I READ what was said and I have no idea what that first bit means.

True, but it lacks the thumbs needed to break into my house

Perhaps Ovis will translate for you.

I don't know, Zodalicious... if a velociraptor can learn doorknobs, I think an anteater can.

This made me laugh at my computer. At work.

Here is a quick illustration for you:

I thought it might help.

[Dimonite]

But that's what I mean! If somebody only sees juvenile alcohol abuse, then of course they think drinking is for knobs. But to pass an evening in good company in the chairs beside the hosta garden with bottles of chilled Pinot Grigio, while crickets and mourning doves greet the dusk: that is something of the Good, and would provide a better example of consumption.

So... it's for knobs and for nobs?
I am a terrible person

Aww, she looks like a real sweety. However she seems to have received a tongue transplant from an elephant.

Yeah, Cookie (that's her name) is a total sweetheart. And while her tongue may be large, it is smaller than that of her friend Maya, pictured here:

As a man with training both as a painter and an actor, this infuriates me also. I sentence him to a really sloppy manicure & pedicure with cheap nail polish all over his cuticles.

My friends and I were planning to force him to paint the whole thing over again, with the proper paint, using a brush from a children's watercolor set.

I have a feeling I'll need that. I just wanted to make sure I didn't like, miss any posts, because apparently last night I was loopy as hell.

Clever girl

[FinnLassie]

Just went to see the flat with my friend and it was amazing. View to the park, good flooring... The room sizes were good as well! I mean, the lounge was mahoosive for us two. That means I'll most definitely fit my easel there.

Only thing is, people have started to come and see the flat. Right after us two lassies came in, students from another university... Pfft. I'm phoning the real estate agent first thing tomorrow morning to sort out the next step! Gotta be quick!

Good show, good show.

That's not a tongue! That is a limb!

My friends and I were planning to force him to paint the whole thing over again, with the proper paint, using a brush from a children's watercolor set.

A fittingly egregious punishment. What makes this transgression worse, however, is that unless you do some serious sanding or even stripping first, the scene paint will compromise the adhesion of the proper floor paint overtop.

So make him sand it first with a toothbrush.

[Devmaar]

We must pick our battles in this boiling sea, which flings up fluctuations on all sides and threatens to overwhelm the hardiest bark.

We must tip a glass together, then.

Forthwith
Last I checked, I don't actually like wine though, what are your views on gin?

[Deathkeeper]

If I recall my David Attenborough documentaries correctly, some anteaters can actually be really dangerous! They're big and strong and have huge claws for digging into nests.

Yep, and some of them are little and cute and have armor for evading lions.

Ten pages? I only missed one day!
I give up... I'll just skim quickly.

You people are crazy, especially you.

And that's fraud, and forgery.

See, this is how fast the thread should move.



Not to worry; I've found a legally sound way of getting my freeish pizza that will only cost me slightly more than the previous plan.

;___; yes I just remember going to gay bars when I was 18-19 and having fat dudes as old as my dad come up and ask me point-blank "Hey are you into older guys?" If I ever utter those words in my life somebody activate my explosion implant on the spot.

Ha, like finding a bug in your food. "Waiter there's a budgie in this sandwich!" "Oh I'm terribly sorry sir, you know what it's like this time of year"

If memory serves, Ovis cannot eat gluten. Ergo a menacing budgie leering from within a slice of bread is evil to him.

I shall edify these banterites whither some of your comments were directed:

I shall procure a large red button for the occasion, should it arise.

Hehehe

Ah, yes. Heh, silly Sheep, not being able to eat certain grains.

Those are hilarious.

ION: I suddenly find myself with extra time today, as one of two meetings I needed to attend has been moved much closer to me (and is not today), and I have no idea when Robin gets off work today.

[Coidzor]

She's 20 or 21, I believe.

Hmm. I'm going to have to go doublecheck, as I'd thought that it was I that was referenced. Then again, I'm just so vain.

You have not seen the monster that lies in the corner of this school. Besides, not all of us use photocopiers on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/and so on basis. This was probably my second time, last time being in 2007 with an ancient machine. =P

The ancient ones are hand-eaters, aye. Have to watch out for one's fingers and other extremities.

Good luck with that. Proximity to a good park is always good too.

Didn't Henry VIII have a suit of armor made out of those guys?

Well, those were giant ground pangolin scales, but yes. It makes me sad

[FinnLassie]

What's going on...

The one I'm using now on placement has a touch screen and I'm so utterly confused. What's wrong with the good ole buttons?

Good luck with that. Proximity to a good park is always good too.

Thanks. So nervous about phoning the letting agency tomorrow morning.

[Qwertystop]

Anyone else read Shortpacked? If so, anyone know where that comic is that mentions the thing with the license thing that says taking part of it for use in a work puts that work under the same license? Or something?

[Mynxae]

Ten pages? I only missed one day!
I give up... I'll just skim quickly.

That's how I feel... I went to sleep at about 11:30pm, woke up at about 4am, couldn't get back to sleep, went on my computer and checked RB. Five pages.

[Mutant Sheep]

So... many... posts...
So few I'm actually going to respond to...



I have the drinking habits of a much older man...



Species that eat ants might disagree



I understand you...

I know the feelers.

Them boozies!

That's three Euros, if I remember right. Actually, four, Finn counts. Teddy Finn, you and Curlee.

Yeah, being social can be mighty fun, but I can't do it forever...


See the post directly above yours.


Honestly, I don't think I'd run into any drug rings to start with. A special degree of stupidity (or inebriation) is required to get the idea that offering me drugs is a good idea.


I'm sorry, but Wikipedia beat you to the punch. You might even say you were ninja'd.

The words! They have been taken right from my fingertips!

Burrrr.

... Scrub it! Scrub it! He doesn't take pharmaceuticals!

... NAH GYAH COME ON.

Like... budgie kisses nibble? Or escape while you sleep and chew the eyeballs and lips off your face nibble?

Though I shall not persuade you to put photography of yourself, perhaps you might consider photographying your creatures? Perhaps while nibbling a morsel of cracker or a perfect plump nugget of corn.

But that's what I mean! If somebody only sees juvenile alcohol abuse, then of course they think drinking is for knobs. But to pass an evening in good company in the chairs beside the hosta garden with bottles of chilled Pinot Grigio, while crickets and mourning doves greet the dusk: that is something of the Good, and would provide a better example of consumption.

I would accept this appellation.

... Rattie, would you do that? (More like licks, really. She doesn't bite, thank heavens.)

D'awww. Now I want to!(I really would put pictures up, but I HAVE NO GOOD PICTURES. INCAPABLE OF IT.)

Sounds like a party.

Oldest gentlebudgie?

....Gay bars sounds scary. I shall stick with lemonade. Bars bad way of getting drinks.

Free budgie with every meal!

Knee remembers!

Sounds like every group project in University classes.

Aww, she looks like a real sweety. However she seems to have received a tongue transplant from an elephant.

How do Betamax hold up over time, grandfather? Do they fare any better than their VHS cousins?

Mi Elementalis! The finest gentleman of Queensland. What news of your autumn? What grows amidst the grass?

Dur.

Bwhaha! I thought similarly.

VHS.... I only know it for Davy Crockett and Pokemon.

... Lotr reference, I think?

I've read it in the past, IIRC. Couldn't tell you anything about it though, as it's been too long.

Creative Commons, you mean? I think there might be some other, similar-ish alternatives to the traditional methods.

What's going on...

That's what I'd like to know.

The one I'm using now on placement has a touch screen and I'm so utterly confused. What's wrong with the good ole buttons?

Ah, touch screens. I guess the moving parts of buttons can get stuck(had this happen with my desktop computer's power button, everything worked perfectly except the power button), but touch screens seem like they're still in the "too delicate for a commonly abused piece of office equipment," stage of development from what I've seen of them.

Thanks. So nervous about phoning the letting agency tomorrow morning.

Don't like phones or just scared it's already been snapped up?

Aaaaaand it looks like we are back. Hip-Hip Horay!

This is completely true.

Though in my case I'm not addicted, just literally all my friends are here.

The whole touch screen thing just feels super derpy with a photocopying machine. Sort of, is this really necessary? I guess it makes the whole log-in system easier when it's super digital and stuff, but... Still... *murmur*

Phoning about something big and official is scary! The flat is nearly ours. Just paperwork panic right now.

[Astrella]

My body has the best timing. Woke up, site is up, but forums still down and then they went up just as I finished shaking the sleepy cobwebs out of my head properly.

[mattie_p]

I just randomly checked the links - like I have every couple of hours minutes since it went down.... #dontjudgeme

[MoonCat]

I had no idea how often I checked the forum until I realized that instead of closing tabs I click on the link to the forum in my toolbar instead.

That's about as silly as the time a few years ago when I looked in my most commonly visited links section and found out that in my top ten was the forum's server errors.

At this point I can't properly recollect, but I think it had something to do with you claiming to be older than a Coidzor in the You Thread.

Necessary? Probably not. The Way Of The Future(TM)? Probably.

I suppose so, though I've never really viewed living arrangements that way for whatever reason. Possibly because I've yet to have living arrangements that aren't those of serendipity... or possibly because I reserve most of my phone nervousness for things pertaining to employment.

*hugs the forum* I missed you guys . . . so much.
Yes, you, and you, and you, and, oh, oh you too!
I love you guys, gals, and everyone and everyone in between.

It's good to be home.

[Deathkeeper]

Ah, the forum is finally back! Everyone gets LDK's patented Master-Familiar double-hug!
I will admit, I checked pretty darn often to try to be the first to see when the site came back online. Then today I decided I should go beat Fire Emblem Awakening since I've been sitting at the last chapter for a month and bam, I miss it by an hour. Oh, well.

Welcome back, Playground! I missed you guys.
