Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Well, to start with, one shouldn't compare a scythe and a lawnmower. A scythe is for cutting hay, lawnmowers are for trimming lawns. You can do neither with the other. For a modern equivalent to a scythe, you'll want other types of mowers, such as a sickle mower.
Hehehe...
Well, I'm here (there) right now, and I can say this: There's still snow on the fields, and the lake is frozen over. I won't know if the white strawberries made it or not for yet quite a while...
That said, machine tools are still more efficient, especially since caring for a scythe to properly keep the edge takes some skill...
ION:
So, I'm hear. We had no less than two water leaks this winter, plus a breakdown on the hot water system, and even though (or perhaps thanks to) we've had craftsmen over to fix them, the house was quite a mess when we arrived. A dedicated cleaning effort got rid of all the dust and debris, so now we've only got the more deep-rooted damage to fix. Still, the house is at least inhabitable now...
The pump to the hot water system has become damaged from running without water, though, so it makes a quite annoying, knocking sound. We'll have to get it replaced, eventually. Somuch in need of fixing...Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
I am not at all sure I got all the quotes I needed to get.
Customs are for after the wine gets there. I am worried about getting it on the plane at the start of the flight.
I have read this post many times. The last line is confusing. But it is good for giving us the feel of having to sit there and listen to that teacher I guess?
I looked for a picture of a monkey with a teacup or a mug for my monkey suit.
Do not look for pictures of monkeys with cups or mugs.
My hand mower does more of a scissors snip. The sharp curved edge pushes the grass against the flat edge. A regular power mover is kind of like a scythe blade though. All one swinging blade and nothing to cut against.I have found a RL gaming group but I'm willing to meet other GitP people nearby.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Hmm, that's a point. Would it help to not have it in your hand baggage, you think?
ION:
During the various breakdowns this winter, it did at some point drop below freezing i nthis house, and the few live plants we keep here died. This was sad, because one of them, a cactus, was over 100 years old...
Oh well, I think the cactus we've got at home is a cutting of that old one, so it should live on through it...
EDIT:
No, the cutting we had died long ago. It's death of an epoch, in other words...Last edited by Teddy; 2014-04-18 at 06:40 AM.

So, apparently a suburb of Phoenix was "overrun" by several packs of up to fifteen chihuahuas in February.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
It's a quiet night. The moon is out, so bright you can see but still too dark to make anything out that is not directly infront of you. You hear scrabbling, and turn. You see nothing. Tension lights the air a blaze, and as you turn around, you see it. Standing ontop of a nearby car, it's eyes glinting. "Yo quiero taco bell."
And the rest is silence.Last edited by LaZodiac; 2014-04-18 at 02:26 PM.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Ah, well still you know what's going on, what a professional would have to do. When doing work in the house here, I tend to just follow whatever grandma says needs to be done. That is my way of learning.
Yeah mostly. I have some cousins I admit to preferring not to deal with...but such is as it is.
D'awww duckies! So much adorableness.
Oh no! Poor Finny. I hope things work out, I'd hate for you to not be able to live where you want to. Would be rather bad. Considering I know so little of other places, what is scary about finding a flatmate in Glasgow?
I have not a clue what is meant by postcolonial studies. ^_^; But I take your word for it that joining the Swedish is a good idea. Especially if usage of scythes is involved!
Oh no! Do not run and hide or be sad please. I did ask but I had forgotten to mention. Well we have 3 rose bushes, in pink purple and yellow which I have utterly forgotten the names of the particular types, but we have had those for a few years now. In the front and side of the house my grandma planted purple irises and some perennial bulbs (that's all she said about them). Oh, and a small oak tree that will hopefully shade a certain part of the house. She has a few areas where she wants to do more planting but hasn't decided on what she wants yet, other than cactus close to the driveway.
I hope that your time with your gentleman friend was more than pleasant, and the rum enjoyable, dear Knightly Kneeble.
Awww oh no...I am sorry for your wizened cactus my good friend. Let there be a time of silence for your loss.
Well, this is definitely the funniest thing I have encountered all week. Go Zodi go.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
I rode my bike twenty-five miles today. Not all at the same time. I stopped. And I had one flat tire to fix. But I brought just enough water to have drinks all the way. And it was a very good ride with the Japanese bakery at one end of it.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
You know how sometimes human children pretend to have various diseases?
Well, there are insects (known as "treehoppers") that, even as adults, pretend to have cordyceps. Weird, right?

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
The other end was my house yes. None of the shopping roads were new to me but it was the first time I went on them with a bike. It is so much easier to see what each little business in an old strip is when you are going at bike speed. And I found a pretty neighborhood with a lot of Japanese influence in the yards. There were symbols with circles on the front gates and red doors and koi ponds and twisted trees.
That is very weird. They annoy the trees enough on their own.

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
Nope. I sought out her nest and devoured her defenseless chicks.
(Actually, I did neither. I don't want to upset Kneenibble by intimating I did that. That would be cruel.)
Example in a Killdeer mother. I don't know that I'd give it an Oscar, but as an amateur performance it's pretty good. I'd recommend going method and break a wing.Avatar by CoffeeIncluded

Re: Mr.Silver has brought your fix: Random Banter #206
The fungus spreads through the actions of the infected insects. If the insect, with it's groggy, zombie senses sees another zombie, it'll go "ooooooh, alriiiight, you're oooone of uuuuuus."
It's like the zombie movie trope of people covering themselves up in blood and shambling to resemble zombies to avoid getting swarmed
