KuReshtin's Kallously Konfusing Konsternations - Random Banter #208

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

@^ Hi! *Bats with cricket bat*

You can keep hitting me but like a phoenix I'll always rise from the ashes! (Just had to double check we did win the last one)

@Chaotic
Hello! As my name suggests just a friendly Reaper!

@KuReshtin, I recall playing some inter school sports where the "B" grade team in the lower leagues always were much happier since they never got so soundly thrashed unlike those in the "A" grade team. Pity that the forfeiting team is being so absent.

Hey Emerald! Been hiding in work, but catching up on a lot of the OOTS comic, thought I'd drop by say hello! Also been looking at travelling and the forum has a lot of people that know the good places to go. Even met the Serps in travel (but I think now everyone has) How have you been? Having a blooming good time I hope & that AE hasn't been too much a thorn in your side?

okay, hello i'm guessing i started posting in the random banters after you disappeared, hence why i don't know you. nice to meet you

[Kneenibble]

This I ask. Since Dalladium Da-côte-de is graduated with presumably free time, and Our Friend has returned, how awesome shall blossom their bromance once again?

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

okay, hello

I did go to lurker mode! Great to meet yo

Heya Kneenibble! I'll have to make sure to bring a plate of cookeis for ol' D square, bit crummy of me to not drop in now and then

Traveling is good! Andre and I haven't been able to do much, what with all the kids and no money, but that's just how it is. Someday I too shall meet the lovely Serpentine. Been ok, back in school again (yeah, I don't know why, seemed like a good idea at the time), working, and the usual. AE mostly just takes all his aggression out on Hippie, but that's ok...Hippie responds in kind.

It's a rite of passage I reckon meeting Serp! Kids and money do tend to not play to nice. Only recently did I realize that all my parents stories of travelling was before the siblings and myself arrived
And schools always good, although being able to balance with work is the hard bit!

Yeah, she's like the forum landmark. Everyone has had their photo taken with her.

When are you next heading to Queensland?

[Kneenibble]

Heya Kneenibble! I'll have to make sure to bring a plate of cookeis for ol' D square, bit crummy of me to not drop in now and then

Mmm... crumms. I should like a crumbly slice of D square with a cup of coffee beneath a parasol of a hot afternoon.

A Great Old One of the Forum popping into banter always draws other Great Old Ones to visit also. How do they know?! And more importantly, what powers may I derive by channeling this advent?

[Somensjev]

Yeah, she's like the forum landmark. Everyone has had their photo taken with her.

i feel like i'm missing out on something?

[TheWombatOfDoom]

Now I feel left out...

ION: I think I'm out of my funk. 78 days until the wedding...this is really amaza-scary-awesom-strange. October still seems so far away, but 78 days seems like REALLY close. I hope everything is ready by then. Because we totally aren't at the moment.

Biggest thing we need? Karaoke machiene. And a sound system at the park would be nice.

[Cuthalion]

I spent a lot of time reading the 419 Eater, my favourite was Busted (not just for the word play). However the site does come with the warning that they are not people you particularly wish to mess with.

Deathy?!

I never actually met you.

But I recognize you.

Nice to meet you.

@^ hi! who are you two

Ancient Playgrounders from before the dawn of time.

okay, hello i'm guessing i started posting in the random banters after you disappeared, hence why i don't know you. nice to meet you

Waaaay after he disappeared.

i feel like i'm missing out on something?

Not particularly. Yes, people visit Serps a lot, but they will almost think you are a human being if you don't. Almost.

[EmeraldRose]

Yeah, she's like the forum landmark. Everyone has had their photo taken with her.

I feel as though I have failed. Someday I will have to have a Serpy photo...

Now I feel left out...

Maybe you need Serp at the wedding? It'd solve a couple problems then...

[Dallas-Dakota]

This I ask. Since Dalladium Da-côte-de is graduated with presumably free time, and Our Friend has returned, how awesome shall blossom their bromance once again?

I don't know about bromancing...It was mainly me admiring from afar, occasionally daring to devilishly dabble in his deathly domain of punnery.

Heya Kneenibble! I'll have to make sure to bring a plate of cookeis for ol' D square, bit crummy of me to not drop in now and then

COOKIES?!?!? ME WANT COOKIES!!!

Mmm... crumms. I should like a crumbly slice of D square with a cup of coffee beneath a parasol of a hot afternoon.

I'm better off not sliced, but consumed whole. Though while rebuilding the backyard terrace I did think of bottling my sweat and possibly selling it, for it drippped so much it formed small puddles.

Now I feel left out...

Don't worry, I haven't met Serps...yet...either. And some consider me a old one. I don't feel like one compared to Rawhide, Death and other venerable characters.....but I have been on these boards for a good 8 years now...(starting out as a lurker, ofcourse.)

Either way, I just got a box of wine delivered, containing six bottles of fine white. I've still got a jerrycan of old berry mead containing a lusty nine litres.... I think I am ready for the weekend which I so readily deserve.(Perrywinkles, my dear old chap, I do not have that much free time as I am working a decent amount so I can afford to keep on feasting.)

and here i am, first finding these forums 2 years or so ago it always feels weird when i think of it that way

Basically, a pair of years ago, Serps did just what I'm doing now: a trip around the world to meet up with playgrounders, and that produced a lot of pictures with those playgrounders standing next to Serps as she was some sort of famous landmark.

Sadly, I haven't been very good at requesting group photos myself, and especially not including myself, so I guess I'll be a bit more elusive in that regard...

ION:
I had a pretty interesting dream last night. I dreamed me and a few friends were going with a space shuttle, which was really cool. For some reason, though, the shuttle wouldn't deliver enough thrust at lift-off, so we were left just skimming the ground, with quite graphical scenes of our pilot just narrowly dodging the pines littering the landscape. I was dead sure we were going to crash, but she made it.

Naturally, we had to abort, so I went back to playing Civ IV at the base. Then the shuttle seemed ready again, and my friends popped in to ask me "Are you coming with us?". Assuming there'd be some official announcement through the speakers calling all astronauts, I just responded "Hang on a second..." and kept playing Civ.

But no announcement came, and I started to worry about the shuttle already having left. I started looking for my friends, and found them nowhere, and even though I never saw any launch nor the debris of any such, the fireworks which suddenly appeared didn't really appease my mind. And then my dream ended.

It's a shame, really. It would've been fun to go on the shuttle once more and actually blast into space this time. I was actually fairly miffed about it even for a while after waking up...

[Serpentine]

TIL popping one's Serp-cherry is a thing?
Maybe I should start a collection, though... Of photos of me with all the Playgrounders.

It'd be another trophy collection for you

i'm gonna request a picture with you

i should meet you sometime to get a picture, after all, you are a famous landmark

[EmeraldRose]

Awesome. Come up here, you could add me, Andre, Goof, Trog, Tink, Zergling (if he's still around), and at least 4 or 5 others off the top of my head...though I can't recall the Playground names of them all.

Unless of course, you've already gotten some of those, and then you can at least just add me and Andre.

[DraPrime]

Today I bought some everclear at what I can only describe as one of the sketchier liquor stores that I've seen in New England. Now I am making absinthe with this stuff. Fun times await me.

[Asta Kask]

This is amazing. You know what the difference between this and all the world's psychics is? Her stuff works.

that is beyond amazing

[Haluesen]

Is there an "extra slutty" olive oil?

Potentially, I wouldn't be surprised. You can never fully vouch on the virgin status of those oils.

Learning to drive is fun. My driving instructor has only had to grab the wheel once!

Ah well I wish you quite well with your learning! Sounds like things are going fairly well.

So, I watched the Animated Atrocity episode for One Coarse Meal earlier.

Next thing I know I'm staring at a synopsis for an episode in a superhero cartoon in one of my word documents. The main character can turn into a raccoon, and the episode in particular has themes and a storyline dark enough that I'm genuinely unsure I should bring up here.

It's amazing what you write when you have an idea and just run with it. I just made myself cry over an outline with only one named character.

Hmm I have no clue how this can just happen HT, but it sounds like just running with an idea works well. Was this a good cry or a bad cry?

My computer screen is about to give up the ghost. I may be absent for a while.

Oh no an Asta may disappear...crossing fingers with hope for your monitor issues.

That's something else there Teddy. Ah those dreams, hard to imagine them stranger. Sorry you could not ride the shuttle again Teddibur. But Civ sounds enjoyable too.

Today I bought some everclear at what I can only describe as one of the sketchier liquor stores that I've seen in New England. Now I am making absinthe with this stuff. Fun times await me.

Hmm I've heard absinthe is...strange. Care to tell me more of this elixir?



Also hello there Friendly Reaper that I have not met! Welcome back to the banter, for however much time you choose to spend here.

[Asta Kask]

Maybe we should name the Death your Friend the Reaper a Lazarus poster.

Glad we corraled you over for some pictures, then!

(and you know, playing Civ on your computer in a dream is likely a sign that you've been playing too much Civ on your computer. It's the reasons I play so much Zelda and Batman games! )

[Somensjev]

Is there an "extra slutty" olive oil?

i don't believe so, however once i was watching a cooking show, and they were making something (i think it was Italian) that translated to something like 'prostitute sauce' and all i heard was "and the first ingredient for 'prostitute ((whatever))' is extra virgin olive oil"

for some reason i couldn't stop laughing at that

[enderlord99]

I haven't seen very many puns recently.

[Asta Kask]

It's the new peace-loving forum. We're no longer so punnacious.
