Radikalskippy's Random Banter #85 of lost ideas and where to find them...

For that matter, I'm surprised Rawhides post wasn't, yaknow, not there. What interest is the mad ramblings of the weak in the view of such godly creatures? I don't think he knows either. He's a flowerpot. Which makes typing DIFFICULT. Hence the surprise.

[FdL]

Aww...Object avatars are so cool. And I was going to draw a new one, it could never be as cool as his.

[Cyrano]

I have a trump.
Rawhide likes his flowerpot?
Well, I would like some soup.

BEAT.

Oh, you're pwobabwy wight.

The cat just looked at the camera....then back at the TV....*laughs*

heh...

So...anymore funny links or stories to tell? I need some cheering.

Why do you need cheering up, may I ask?

And here's some dude on a banjo to cheer you up.

[Hoggy]

I made you a funny story but I eated it.

And here's some dude on a banjo to cheer you up.

Thing's've been kinda rough lately trying to find a job, and money's getting a little tight. Then last night, I was in a car accident on the way home from work. I'm ok, just a nasty bruise from the seat belt, and the tops of my legs from the steering wheel, but we don't know about the truck yet.

It was the other driver's fault, however, MN is a no-fault state. We're not sure yet if this means we will be able to get their insurance to pay the cost of fixing our truck.

Then we found out that our insurance coverage on our truck did not include collision coverage. And it won't cover a rental car. We have these for our car, but not the truck...

So...things do not seem to be going very well right now. I had to miss 8 hours of my internship today that I have to find time somewhere to make up now...

*sigh*

To help cheer up EmeraldRose

When a clock is hungry, it goes back four seconds.

booooooooo

[Hoggy]

I don't get it.

[Cyrano]

Emerald, there is only one thing I can imagine can cheer yourself.

It's, so beautiful...

[SMEE]

*winks at HER Khan general direction.

So, it seems I really do have a boyfriend right now.
And I must say I'm a lucky gal. Where else I'd find such awesome person.

* steps close to her Khan dangerously and steals a kiss.



Thank you, GITP, for bringing love back into my life.

[Khantalas]

And I must say I'm a lucky gal. Where else I'd find such awesome person.

Well, you know what I think about that one, but, well, who am I to complain? I am just grateful you think I'm awesome.

OK, anyone who didn't already know about this, raise your hands.

[Cyrano]

*Tentatively raises hand*

I remember you had A girlfriend....
after you rejected my heartfelt love and left me weeping in the gutter.
Not that I begrudge her or...anything....

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[EmeraldRose]

Hehheh.....Rawhide...you appear to be a little excited about this. Have you already purchased your tickets?

*giggles*

[Cyrano]

They had the book.
They had the movie.
They had the musical-on-a-soundtrack.
Now, experience the sounds...
the sights....
the being-dissolved-by-a-heat-ray's....
Of a live action, real time War of the Worlds Play.

(PS, to anyone who doesn't already have the Musical cd, I do. It's SO FRAKKING AWESOME ON A TOASTY BUN THAT IS ITSELF, MADE OF AWESOME (but toasted.))

Rawhide, for the first (no, second...wait, third...fourth...goddamnit, I wish I didn't agree with that, but I do...and then there was that thing...and that time...Goddamnit.) time I find myself agreeing with you.

Specifically, *squeals like a tiny schoolgirl*

OK, anyone who didn't already know about this, raise your hands.

*raises hand, face looking like Osaka's*

I still have the original vinyl album ! An excellent musical that was far ahead of its time and has not dated one bit.


*must calm down long enough to buy tickets....*

[Madmal]

well, i'm not gonna be able to see it, anyways...

You are forgetting the extremely infamous Orson Welles radio broadcast. How do you beat a radio broadcast that had people thinking that Martians had actually invaded?

[Rawhide]

Also, to anyone who has watched the movie: You must immediately forget everything that Hollywood has spewed over you. The musical version is completely different and much closer to the original.


P.S. If you want to listen to my favourite song of all time, go here and select "Forever Autumn" from the drop down box in the music player at the top, its second in the list.

Yeah! Sorry people but this wins. In a scientific way. It's even in history books*.

*maybe

[Rawhide]

*pauses long enough to breathe*

So... uhm, who am I going to take?

[Cyrano]

*pauses long enough to breathe*

*whimper*

....Me?

(PS, we HAD the vinyl copy. But all our Vinyl was destroyed in The Great Spontaneous Vinyl Breakage Week of our ENTIRE LIVES, whereupon vinyl broke pretty much as soon as it was impossible to get any more.
And, oh god, SUCH a good musical. Beautiful, amazingly stylish, unpretentious, british! Not dated, not bad, not overdone. Just perfect.)

You don't. I highly doubt anything will ever top that moment in fictional media.

I've just discovered the best and simplest recipe for rum balls.

WARNING: As the balls are not baked after adding the rum, they are alcoholic and eating enough could get you drunk...


Rum Balls

Ingredients:
1x Dark fruit cake
White chocolate designed for melting/cooking
Snakes
Rum

Method:
Break and crumble the dark fruit cake up into a bowl
Mix in 1/3 of a cup of rum and stir
Roll the mixture into balls and place in small paper patty cake plates if you have them or on greaseproof/baking paper
Chop a few snakes up into tiny pieces, for Christmas or Christmas in July use green and red
Melt the white chocolate
Pour the white chocolate over the balls
Stick the snake pieces to the chocolate while it is still runny
Place in fridge until it is set


I have a plate in the fridge right now, would anyone like to sample one?

[Midnight Son]

Just one question there Rawhide. What kind of snakes are the best? I imagine rattlers would be too stringy. Maybe something like a gopher snake?

[Rawhide]

Go figure. Wikipedia tells me that snakes are native to Australia.

Here is a picture:
