Cuthalion's Creatively Created Cranny for Random Banter #192

[Coidzor]

Sleep? Teacher? Npfffff!

That was probably the biggest downside to my short-lived liaison with a teacher. The falling asleep on me bit...

Falling asleep on you... or on you?

[Cuthalion]

We should compromise: "Hey, Comrade!"

Somehow, that seems like something they used to make people say, maybe? Or the accepted form in Russia? Anyway, I would check myself before doing anything.

[Deathkeeper]

Good news: My book and model kit came in from Amazon!
Bad news: Without cutters or a decent knife I can't build the latter. Plus two of the pieces have some sort of stain on them, although that might come off with some scrubbing.

Commie-ism was two decades ago. The closest most of us have had of them is old Bond movies and the bad Indiana Jones. Why let them steal the word?

@v "Comrade" is a word with connotations. Those connotations are Soviet Red Communist 'Murica Hater.

What are you trying to say, Comrade?

Oh, no! What kind of stain?

[Deathkeeper]

Oh, no! What kind of stain?

A small (less than a centimeter long) gray-white mark on a pair of black pieces. Luckily, in most of the positions I plan on displaying it these pieces will be in the back, but it's still annoying.

Vexing, indeed! Did you ask your seller about the mark?

Thankfully it'll keep till you acquire these things. Hopefully.

Also, hopefully you can get that taken care of.

Falling asleep on you... or on you?

Yes...

[TaiLiu]

Yes...

Ah. How was the experience?

[Mutant Sheep]

.../

Yes...

You commie. (Augh coidzor speech is hard and difficult and scarwee.)

(Edit)@V. I have speech class, and writing speeches hard. Hardest part is me giving them though, cuz I SUCK AT THE SPEAKING.

[TaiLiu]

(Augh coidzor speech is hard and difficult and scarwee.)

Whatever do you mean by that, Dudebro Ship?

[Coidzor]

Not sure what you're missing here. Not sure if want to know....

Scary? You should see me on the dance floor. That's scary. Scary Delicious!

Ah. How was the experience?

Well it involved me getting sleep-kicked.

I'm spending two thirds of my bran flakes trying to forget this, the other third trying to figure out, with Coidzage being coidzage, chances of when this happened in relation to Coidzeducation.

*eats the boogie ing of the Coidzackson*

.... BHURGH.

This was this past summer to past winter. There are newly minted teachers who are younger than Coidzors. :/

Been forever since I've had bran flakes. I should have some again sometime... Much better than bran muffins.

*eats the boogie ing of the Coidzackson*

.... BHURGH.

Yeah, you're not supposed to eat that. Causes indigestion*.

Scary Indigestion. It's like the opposite of fondant except not really in that it's delicious but not supposed to be eaten as opposed to tasting bad and not supposed to be eaten, which is fondant in case that wasn't clear.

*Metaphors often do.

[TaiLiu]

Well it involved me getting sleep-kicked.

Ah. Is there a sizable tale to go along with such a sentence?

[Deathkeeper]

Vexing, indeed! Did you ask your seller about the mark?

Eh, it's through Amazon and I don't know if I can directly contact the seller, and I don't know how good Bandai is about stuff like that. I tried scrubbing; they're definitely scuffs in the paint. Some swirls is inevitable, but these are pretty noticeable discolorations. I might look into this. I mean, what's the point of having giant awesome wings if I have to paint them just to cover scuff marks?

There was no e-mail listed? Odd.

Ah. This is why having only 1/3 of your daily recommended value of cereal is bad. Also, YOUNG TEACHERS R WEIRD.

Heh. Cereal. /Honeycombs 24/7. Or well, .12/2

Nom nom nom.

BHUGHL.

I loves meta-whores!

[TaiLiu]

YOUNG TEACHERS R WEIRD

How so?

I loves meta-whores!

How... How would that work?

[Coidzor]

Ah. Is there a sizable tale to go along with such a sentence?

Maybe back in the RWA thread, but at this point I honestly can't really remember that much that's interesting details to make it into an interesting story. It was like sleep walking except kicking, mostly.

Ship, you need to eat a proper and balanced breakfast, just like Tony the Tiger says. So go and eviscerate a small goat and finish your cereal.

I felt the same way between the ages of 13 and 18. Before then I was a little kid and can only dimly recollect having silly crushes on a couple of teachers and student-teachers. After that I was confused by the number of attractive coeds majoring in Education more than anything.

0.12/2? Funny you should mention honeycrisp though. I'm totally eating some chicken and waffles right now. Man this stuff is good.

*zombie noises*

So Meta.

[TaiLiu]

I'm totally eating some chicken and waffles right now. Man this stuff is good.

You're mixing chicken and waffles?!

[Coidzor]

You're mixing chicken and waffles?!

Yes. I dare because of the might of HISTORICAL PRECEDENT!

Also, it's delicious. Seriously. A bit of chives or green onions, the right mix between fluffiness and crisp for the waffles... Fried chicken that's actually fried properly....

*kisses fingers* muah!

That... That sounds less than appealing. How does it taste?

[Coidzor]

That... That sounds less than appealing. How does it taste?

Delicious, as said! I seamlessly blends breakfast and dinner into one happy whole. It's fried chicken and waffles. If you don't know what waffles taste like I'm not sure if I'd be able to explain in a satisfying way, I'd recommend watching a youtube video of someone making waffles or something along those lines instead as that might give more of the je ne sais quoi of waffledom. Fried chicken is just breaded, crispy chicken, so basically chicken with an exterior crunch that is a good crunch.

[Elemental]

Good luck and good health, Brother of Elemental!

I'm sure my brother won't mind me thanking you for him.

Well, be warned: IV is... different. A lot of people don't like it. I am not one of the people who didn't like it, but a lot of people didn't like it. There were some mechanics changes that I thought could/should have persisted, but apparently people didn't like adapting to new things, so they were removed in V (which you already know is basically III with better graphics).

Commonly uttered phrase at my house: "Don't you bring your LOGIC into this!"

I might end up liking it, so I'll have to give it a go now.
And a different world and story and other things...

Yes. Logic is the worst thing to rely upon in an argument. Unless you're right, and then you can do whatever you want.

Drat!

I'm sorry to hear that. Dancing is sexy. Also, awesome. And, unfortunately, we can no longer be friends.(Say, does anyone get reminded of pre-haircut Teddy by this?)

Hope you have fun anyway and that the wedding goes well without tragic or dramatic incident. Maybe some comedic incidents as long as they behave.

I know!

Oh well... It was good while it lasted... Actually, no one danced... The Reception was at a rather small venue. Good food, but no dance floor.

Shockingly enough, there were no incidents. Except... My Sister-in-Law didn't know the way to the Registry Office in town, so we had to guide them in. And the chefs at the hotel where we had the reception accidentally smashed the cake topper which was a gift... But that was solved really quickly because the hotel was really good and ordered one off the Internet that night to replace it.

Congrats to your brother (who will probably be married by the time I actually post this), and sorry about your cat - I hope he lived a long and pleasant life.

Actually, he wasn't married when you posted that. A win for you good sir?

She did indeed.

I should note I actually don't care about gender quality when it comes to words, cause I think words only really have power if you let them, and I'm not one of them crazies who things it should be "personhole cover" instead of "manhole cover"

You are truly the wisest among us.

Furthermore, to stop the argument about it, gal is not the feminine of guy. It's an accent-based variation on girl.

... Am I a bad person?

Yes. But not in a bad way.

We should compromise: "Hey, Comrade!"

Unfortunate historical implications would confuse everyone and they would assume I was making a political statement.


Anyway... News from me, Elemental.
My brother's wedding was wonderful. It was only a small ceremony and it wasn't very fancy or anything, but it was nice. I admit that I almost cried.
Then we walked down from the Registrar's office to the Botanical Gardens and had a few photos taken.
Then we had the Reception, and there was food, and cake, and if traditional wedding activities are to be believed, the next wedding will either be my remaining unmarried brother or my sister-in-law's sister. (I was smart and stood at the back.)
Funny story; My new sister-in-law just so happened to not know the way. To her own wedding ceremony. We had to give her directions.
And of course, most important of all, I look very nice in my suit. It's a shame that my good pants aren't black so I had to wear my next best pants...

[Cuthalion]

You're mixing chicken and waffles?!

Apparently it's popular. Don't ask me why.

[Coidzor]

Apparently it's popular. Don't ask me why.

My understanding is that originally it was because of people with late shifts eating their last meal before hitting the hay during the day. Because it was their last meal of their day they wanted something dinner-like but because it was also close to breakfast, they also were reminded of that so they wanted something breakfast-like too or it was just more easily available or something along those lines.

Mostly though it's good. At least, as long as the components are good. But that's kind of a given for food.

[FinnLassie]

Ah. So, it is not the children that are driving you mad, but children combined with other things.

Good luck!

Yeah. I really don't know if I want to do teaching anymore, but it just might be because depression's been kicking in right before placement and with all this other stress I simply feel like quitting.

Or even when they don't have special needs and they're just hellions. Hellians? Hell Lions.



Well, I need a cold shower now.

Good Night and Good luck getting a good rest.

Children are simply just pain.

I love reading those wee stories. Made me wonder if I was ever so creepy as a kid.

Teaching is like doctor. But worse.

Exactly. And the worse part is the pay. Teachers, especially the good ones who at least try to love their jobs simply aren't paid enough for what they do. The work they need to do after school hours is not considered in the pay nearly anywhere. Ridiculous.


ION: Today's lesson was a pain in the butt, but at least some of the children seemed to enjoy. *dies out of stress*

[AtlanteanTroll]

Chicken and waffles is great. A surprising combination, perhaps, but a delicious one. Dang, now I want IHOP.
