Teddy's Twofold Tempestuous and Tranquil Random Banter #202

[Cuthalion]

Cards Against Humanity, eh? Such a horrible game. I'm not nearly horrible enough to play it.
*takes 1d6 unholy damage from exposure*

I thought... you've.... huh? How'd you.... know? You... must have played it.

[CurlyKitGirl]

My Demon Cat has crawled inside a paper bag and is sleeping on top of a pile of leaflets and things. Why she's doing that when she has a settee, two chairs, and a blanket pile in just one room out of the entire house I don't know.
But I have come to accept that Her Ladyship is made of strange whims and her motives will never be known to mere humans.
Also, I found a skinny woolly jumper I can wear!

I always believed it to be a variation on "if I fits, I sits," either extended to all paper products or just anything sufficiently small cave or cranny-like.

What does that mean, exactly?

I don't question anything a cat does, because cats are cats.

It means Curly has evolved material that will protect her from the harsh weather.

[Rain Dragon]

For some reason there is wi-fi in my shop and nobody told me about it. Odd...

Or, if you leave the door open when you're taking a shower, she'll try to get in with you.

My sister's cat apparently does the same thing. He also manages to escape when it rains only to come back saturated and irritated.

I'll try to be more ſane with my letter choices later.

It is difficult to take you seriously when your combination of older and newer fonts causes all of your 's's to look like 'f's.

I personally prefer hardwood floors. They are nicer to walk on and look better in my opinion.

How old is the poor fluff? I feel like this parting of ways may be tragic for him, and that kidnap would be a mercy. For in my captivity, he would be assured of companionship, and that good use would be made of every square inch of that fluff.

Poor? I take good care of the fellow. He is two years old, but by the time I manage to get into uni he should be three or four. I was giving you plenty of time to devise an effective birdnapping strategy. Though looking at all the snow, Storm may find it too cold there.

He seems to be content with flying around my room now, so no more feathery crashes for him thankfully.

I'm doing a transcription of the order of the stick comic. I have about 536 left to do, and am trying to get some helpers, but it's mostly just me.

Wow, good luck.

Punk rock space Buddha ... Which it seems I cannot retrieve at this time.

That sounds amazing!

(pictues)

I like these pictures.

@Curly Most cats I have met are like that. They also seem to like paper and cardboard best when it comes to things upon which to sit.

Ok, guys... I'm going to be pretty much non-existent on the forums until next Monday evening, and I'll probably be here sobbing around on Christmas eve and day, and after that I'll be very much non-existent again. I have assignments, I have a stressful amount of stress that I can't handle right now, at all. My deadline on the 23rd is killing me and I'll be reading and writing my ass off until then, only to begin writing two other assignments due in January plus lesson planning, and after the assignments it's straight to my 6-7 week placement block... I will not have a holiday until Easter...

I am so done with everything right now and would just prefer not to exist for the next few months. So. Yeah. If I pop by it's likely because I'm fried from whatever work I have and need my time of complete ignorance of the real world.

Ah. Good luck enduring the huge piles of work, paper and otherwise.

[Amidus Drexel]

@Finn: Aw... Good luck on your work and your placement... stay sane.

Speaking of arts! I completely forgot to post my fishes that I was painting a while ago! Who was that that wanted to see those??

ION: Paintings for christmas are finally commencing...now if only I could get them done in time...and I need to start working on my character for a certain D & D game. Christmas is coming!

Oooh, me! And probably other people too.

Yessssss..... the game is approaching.

Lie? But we do have good beaches! They're not on the same level as some beautiful beach in the tropics, but the Cape, Martha's Vineyard, and Nantucket are all very fine places to go relax near the water during the summer. Certainly they're nice to a Canadian who lives near the arctic circle.

Hey, my old drummer's family is from Nantucket! I hear it's a wonderful place, and full of horribly dirty limericks.

He left? So you get your shelf back?

Why are you cheering about Finn leaving? She seems depressed! I mean, she totally- What? You weren't talking about the corner? Something in "Ree-uhl... lyphe?" What kind of place is tha- Ooh! Shiny hyphens!

Heheheh, indeed it is.

Hrm... I can help you come up with things, if you like. Shoot me PM or pop into the OOC thread with any and all ideas you have.

Damn, I'm surprised you remember that. Nah, we've since rearranged the room, and he's got stuff on his bed anyway. I have other places to put things now, although I'd certainly still make use of it if I could.

[Elemental]

Well, I know for sure that Halu isn't very fond of needles or drawing blood either, and I'm pretty sure there were two more who found Finns syringe staff a bit uncomfortable, but I don't remember who...

It was inteded to be put in relation to wounds in need of suturing, but I don't think I stressed that very well...

Ahh, by the way you phrased it, I thought you were a ninty-twoer as well. With this sentence in mind, I'm pretty sure you can guess my age relative to yours... ;3

I was thinking about throwing my sewing machine driver's license into the joke, but couldn't come up with any witty way of doing it...

Right... Sorry, I didn't sleep very much last night and mixed the words up in my head. But yes, the etymological equivalent of almanac in Swedish is a calendar in book format with extra lines for filling in appointments and such. Not the same as a calendar, but at least a bit closer to one...

I bet they didn't seal the cracks between the marble tiles very well...?

Meanwhile, to me it sounds like they're all ending early...

Heh, I keep reading your 'ſ's with a lisp. Also, I think switching back may be a good idea, going on for too long may not be entirely compatible with the rules against excessive formatting...

That's right. I can't believe I forgot.

No, it was not particularly clear. But that's alright, communication difficulties are par for the course.

Well, if I was a ninety-twoer, I'd be older than DraPrime by about three weeks. Hence, he's almost a full year older than me, but falls short of the mark by twenty-three days.

Ahh... I had assumed you somehow misinterpreted what I had said.

That makes sense I suppose. Still, it would surprise me if you didn't have your own equivalent of the English definition as they were rather handy before the invention of the Internet.

*Verſailles. Can't believe I missed that one...
I've got no idea. But they were concerned about it enough to change the floors and start a new trend in interior decorating.

On what possible world could ending a semester in January exist? Does Sweden exist on the other side of a dimensional barrier of some sort? Because that is a very unusual occurrence in my mind. I think it best not to have the exams straight after a break for Christmas.

Yeah... I do that too sometimes. They just look so much like f! And yes, I will be switching back, and have already done so. The work required slows down my typing slightly, inconveniencing me mildly.

WHY ELEMENTAL
WHY

There are even more ways you could format your posts like early modern printing. Each one of which more strange and horrible. Look, if I want my eyes to hurt, I have daily access to a rare book room of books like that. It's only fun if psychoactive book molds accompany the experience. If you can find a way to transmit that in your posts, then I shall give you my nod. Otherwise... well let's just say that you'd better close your windows at night if you don't want to wake up covered in nibbles every day.

Because one was up late, tired and sick, and one's mind wanders into strange places. Plus, I found myself unable to avoid explaining the original of the German double s when Cuthalion casually used one. Alſo, I like the long ſ.

Pſychoactive book moulds? Well, they're hard to render in a digital format, but I suppose I can put something together. But in the meantime, I'm reverting to the modern usage, as I had always intended, because to continue on the path of antiquated letter variation will lead only to madneſs. Plus, it's no fun without thorns.
Alſo, I have already cleverly defeated any who would deſire to enter my room through the window and nibble me for I have a fly ſcreen! *evil laughter*
I'll stop now...

That is good science. And they did try. Crumbs in space were dangerous to the rocket controls. And since space science is good for us all we got bread that does not drop too many crumbs. It is called english muffin bread. It is not a true english muffin. It tastes like it after toasting and butter though.

I am happy that you will not take weeks to heal.

The calendar needs a little more to make it special. Buy a ribbon and a good pen and a little bottle of hand sanitizer or a travel box of hand wipes. Tape the ribbon to the calendar and tape the pen and hand cleaner to the calendar. Add a card that says now you do not have to run for the baby book when she does something special. Write baby's first moments in here and write them down in the book later when you and baby are not going to spill anything dirty on the special pages.

How very strange... I just wouldn't have packed the Astronauts sandwiches in their lunches...

As am I. Christmas is coming up, and I don't want to have to miss it.

Ribbon we have, but I doubt I'll be able to get down to the shops to acquire a nice pen. But in any case, I'll suggest that to my sister in law.

Okay, I know a lot of weird facts, but I did not know that one.

Dirty Limericks about well-endowed and perverse men from Nantucket.

Because there's no such thing as clean limericks.

Or, you can go for the original version which can be published here:

There once was a man from Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
But his daughter, named Nan,
Ran away with a man
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.

As for the part about a lack of clean limericks, the point can be summed up in limerick form:

The limerick packs laughs anatomical,
Into space that is quite economical,
But the goods ones we've seen,
So rarely are clean,
And the clean ones so seldom are comical.

Not that there aren't good ones that are clean, they just seem to be less memorable.

Is it because of my West Coast swag?

I don't really know what that is, but I have a vague idea, so I'm going to say yes.

My Demon Cat has crawled inside a paper bag and is sleeping on top of a pile of leaflets and things. Why she's doing that when she has a settee, two chairs, and a blanket pile in just one room out of the entire house I don't know.
But I have come to accept that Her Ladyship is made of strange whims and her motives will never be known to mere humans.

It's quite simple really, none of the other places are inside a paper bag.

It is difficult to take you seriously when your combination of older and newer fonts causes all of your 's's to look like 'f's.

I personally prefer hardwood floors. They are nicer to walk on and look better in my opinion.

Well... Technically I didn't change fonts... I just copy-pasted the same long 's' over and over again. And besides, they don't look like 'f's as they are lacking in the cross bar. Okay... They look like 'f'...

Agreed. They are so much more cosy than tile.

Ok, guys... I'm going to be pretty much non-existent on the forums until next Monday evening, and I'll probably be here sobbing around on Christmas eve and day, and after that I'll be very much non-existent again.

I feel like the children from Mary Poppins when she announces that the tea party on the ceiling is over.
I wish you the best of luck with everything and look forward to your return. In case I don't get an opportunity to say it later:
Merry Christmas Finn. I'll get to work on that sparkling pony you wanted.
It'll just take a while because I have to run across this field for some reason.



@Dimonite: Well, the issue comes down to who he's comparing himself to on the field of drawing well. Compared to Leonardo Da Vinci, he's terrible, compared to a seal on LSD, he's probably pretty good. I say probably because I've never met a seal on LSD before.
As for my personal opinion, I cannot comment on the minotaur as my own ability to draw humanoids is non-existent. However, I will say the anatomy of that unicorn is a bit off. But I can barely draw an animate thing without a reference, so I can hardly be called an expert in the field.

@Wombat, the Apocalypse Marsupial: Those fishes are amazing. Now all you need to do is draw one fish and two fish, and the Universe will be complete.

But the corner is still warm from FinnLassie! Amidus cannot move in yet.

It may be no help to say that fresh hot dogs have also made me feel sick. Boiling or microwaving just does not seem to do enough any more.

At least if you can manage one straight line you can place several together to draw something more.

Sounds like me... Housemate is leaving from I think Christmas Day until New Years Eve (or Day, one of the two). Yay for like a week alone to be mischievous!
