Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206

[Cuthalion]

It sounds transcendent, aside from the mold. You know what I look forward to? A glass of chilled white wine in the garden of a scorching June afternoon. The garden is bristling with adolescent vegetables, and fluffy birds are mucking around on the fence.


At work today a letter came in the mail from Belgium. It is handwritten on very nice paper in charmingly imperfect English. Unfortunately they are looking for information we do not have, but it was such a treat nevertheless. I shall reply in kind.

You shall certainly see images of the fluffs if I overcome my hesitation, Fineapple.

It was very pleasant and that sounds so too.

You shall reply in imperfect English, looking for information they do not have?

BUDGIEEEEEE!!!

ION:Scything is fun but slightly scary. I stood the scythe on the ground and tossed a dandelion stem at it. It was cut in two. Made me quite nervous when I was putting the sheath on. That thing is sharp, man.

I has a new sword!

Well, it is a tiny sword... the blade length is only 27 cm, but that will do for now.

Go home, Zodalicious. You have become drunk.

I don't particularly drink and haven't felt like drinking in months, so no. We did go to a couple of pubs but only to fill ourselves with food. And I prefer whisky to whiskey.

Come on, it's Ireland, you have to drink. Also, damn my spelling errors! May the part of my brain that spelt it "whiskey" be dammed!

Dublin was lovely (although I preferred the countryside my cousins inhabit). I began my day with mass at the local cathedral - amazing, that place is - and continued by getting a tad lost in the lovely city on my way to the art gallery. I got myself a poster! I feel all educated now! Many pieces that I've seen in my school books were there too, and it was a lovely experience. Museum of Archeology was good too, and I wanted to see the book of Kells... But the queue was an hour long. No time for such foolishness! I then went on to read a book under the cherry trees in St Patrick's park (or something like that).

Dublin seems like a magnificent place. What poster did you get?

[FinnLassie]

It sounds lovely indeed. With only a day to spend, I'm not sure I would have bothered with an hour queue for the Book of Kells either, but that is hard to say from over here. I've wanted to see it since I was wee. Is it clean? Is it safe? Is it pretty?

You shall certainly see images of the fluffs if I overcome my hesitation, Fineapple.

Mum told me that on Wednesday they just basically walked in to the thing. WHY DO I HAVE THE POOPAY LUCK ;___;

Myes. I need fluffs. Many fluffs. *points at hair in hope for nesting*

No, I don't. I'm fine with tap water.
The thing is, it's whisky in Scotland, whiskey elsewhere.

The Opening of The Sixth Seal. The painting itself was so immensely powerful as it's massive and just... oozes all these levels of darkness and despair, but the print does it enough justice to slap on my wall.

[Dimonite]

Catch fire? In an oven?
...
Right, gas...

No, it's an electric oven. Part of the towel was dangling down and actually made contact with the heating element, causing it to very nearly catch fire. It was glowing when I pulled it out, but I stomped on it a few times and prevented any actual conflagration.

... Why did you have a towel in the oven....


That said, I actually have managed to get flames in the oven. the paper hit some super hot parts. Oops. Herp derp. Finn Kitchen Time is not always best time.

He was using them as gloves for getting hot things out of the oven.

Because...

Yeah, that.
I don't actually own oven mitts or measuring cups. I've been borrowing measuring cups from the dorm front desk, but what I didn't know was that they also had mitts available. Learn something new every day!

I actually set a steak on fire once. But it was a small fire, quickly extinguished, and I think it actually made the steak taste better.

So, I've said this before, but sometimes I get sleepy, but still able to message friends online. Just had a few quite hilarious ones happen last night, that I'd like to share. First one was direct to one friend, second directed to three friends. Specifically, the people involved

Wow, the first one was hard to decipher. I got "*snuggles and", but the "tqrps" eludes me, mostly because "gafpx" isn't a word...

Teddiferousness! I did see it, much to my enduring delight. I have, in fact, been trying to figure out if there is an efficient way to import quotes from the closed thread to here for replying. So far it looks like it must be done manually, which means I probably won't. -- either way, rest assured that it has been duly saved and filed both for posterity and for its adorability..

Yay!

And as for transfering quotes, yeah, that's an issue I've been thinking about as well. Plain text is pretty easy, but formatting and images are worse...

I am disappointed every day I come home to nobudgie. ;___; But there are a lot of factors at play here, the aforementioned mice being one of them.

Aww. I hope you'll find some remedy to your dearth of featherlings soon...

Sounds like a nice everyday extraordinary moment...

That sounds like the best scythe ever! I'd love to swing such a thing over the fields of our summer farm...

Ahh, I see.
...
Why does your oven have exposed heating elements at the bottom? I mean, things may drip down on them to a completely different extent than those at the top...

Well, it definitely made it more carcinogenous, at least...

[HalfTangible]

What are you reading?

A review of Red Hood and the Outlaws #1, with some full on pages attached. (specifically the comment referred to how Starfire's character was being portrayed)

Sure, it's probably good form to read something all the way through to determine if it's garbage...
... but frankly I think I saw enough.

Also: Is there a REASON Apple now makes everything a single clean, bright color? MAYBE 2 bright colors? It's ugly as hell and gives me a headache...

[Solse]

Why would one country resist using a superior spelling adapted by the rest of the world?
*insert statement here about U.S. being only country that resists using a superior system of measurement used by the rest of the world*

A quick Google Image search let me see that the painting that you are referring to really is magnificent. It must be cool to have in poster format.

[Razanir]

I has a new sword!

Right. Thanks for reminding me. I need to forge an Elvish blade of finest newspaper before dorm government on Wednesday. (It makes sense in context. Just like a month ago when I wore a skirt)

This time around the doctor said she's pregnant. She's now been instructed to take the test, home version, three more times. Once now (which came back negative) and two tomorrow. We'll find out when we find out.

On the plus side, we do know what we're doing if the answer is yes. Can't talk about that for reasons so lets just focus on the good things! Like Steins;Gate and how amazing it is. EL PSY CONGROO.

Since I didn't want to start a separate thread about it, there is currently a full lunar eclipse happening right now. Can be seen by the western hemisphere, but they have the live stream going for everyone else.

Hey, so, a realization. Our dog has miss matched coloured claws. Some are black, some are white with a pink tinge. Why is this?

It's obvious, really:
