Lilly's Lovely Random Banter #87

That can only mean one of two things; either Canadians are a self-loathing people, or... they're all ROBOTS!

You know, I was going to say something amazingly witty and scathing here, but then I realised that it's probably too true to be funny.
*Sniff*
Self loathing robots. Such a sad state of affairs.

EDIT: True, Thes. I had a bus driver yell at me because I didn't speak french well enough and god damnit, I live here!

School Starts on Tuesday T.T

Also, I was in Estonia yesterday and today morning. And, I really mean this, wanted to buy a cheap, world war 2 era rifle scope '-.-

Yes, I found a place that had them. I also found a store selling authentic world war 2 army gear...

They also had musket pistols. And other stuff.

[Cyrano]

Why do all the other countries have cool stuff? We don't even get Yorkies.

[Penguinizer]

Well...

Then again, I would say it probably wasn't authentic though. Since this was in a market...

But still. That one antique store was awesome. Authentic world war 2 gear. Good for any Airsoft player who wants a world war 2 gear set.

[Cyrano]

Hell, I would love even an inauthentic authentic WW2 scope. Or WW2 uniform. Or WW2 rifle. Or WW2 anything.
Then again, WW2 tank tops the list.

Hmmmmmmm..... drinking ships to Estonia.....

*dreams*

I have been promised a tour to estonia (or Stockholm) as soon as we all save up for a trip over there. But since everyone went to Tokyo this year, and another couple hit Poland, it will be next year at the very earlist that we will go. Will have to call my friend and see if she has any plans to go home and wants to organize a trip.

[Penguinizer]

Yeah, a world war 2 style scope would be nice. Although I only had a passing glance at it. Might not have even been world war 2 style. But still awesome.

Anyways. I wonder, do you need a fire arm license to have a musket rifle...

Not that I intend getting one :P

[Cyrano]

Depends. I think that most of 'em can't even shoot, on account of having their chamber blocked off. Otherwise, probably depends on the state.
The only thing I want more than a real life sword is a vintage firearm set, really.

[Penguinizer]

I don't think they had rifles. But they did have some nice swords. And metals.

And miniature cannons >.>

I liked that shop...

On campus we have a cannon that was used in the war of 1812. Some engineering students a long time ago figured out something and fired it. Twice I think. Now it's got concrete filling it up. There have been plenty more pranks though and it gets painted almost every night.

We, being my old Alma Mater, the University of Michigan, have a Rock that is painted almost every night. It is believed the Rock is now more paint than stone.

[phoenixineohp]

I've never heard of it getting totally cleaned off, but they do try every once in a while. Apparently the library archives have paint chips that show hundreds of layers of paint. Personally I have a large chip that shows multitudes of layers. I was surprised to find that some were still wet. It looks so different in original photographs. Heck, it has a shape!

But it's not always covered in paint. I've seen it covered in math notes, sod, peanut butter and bird seed and a mountain of popcorn. The squirrels love the unusual coatings.

[sktarq]

That stone is probably great for helping the geology students and srata lessions.

[Castaras]

Geology's fun....Only reason I'm doing Geography for GCSE this year...

And that painted rock sounds awesome. Would be a fun place to draw an OotS style thing there...

[Penguinizer]

That makes perfect sense. Heh, Someone draw the order of the stick on it. I wonder, how long till theres a fence around it...

[Nomrom]

If it's a college tradition to draw on that rock, then there won't ever be a fence around the rock. And if there is it will be ignored so many time to draw on the rock, that they will realize it was pointless.

YAY! I'm not in school this semester!!!

In other news...we had a heckuva storm last night and there's trees down everywhere. Until the one across our driveway is gone, I'll have lots of extra time to hang out online and check threads! YAY again!

[Serpentine]

The ecology department of my uni has and uses Vietnam vintage nightvision goggles.

Unfortunately, my college's "wine appreciation club" initiation ceremony involved drinking a mouthful of something horrible like varnish and then throwing up on a rock.

For me, it doesn't start for another month. .

[phoenixineohp]

I miss school... yay? Saying that kinda feels like saying you want to be shot and are looking forward to it. Yes it's something like stress induced hell, but it's my stress induced hell.

I finished my boring and pointless summer distance ed course and am now home with my parents for a month. Then back to school, my apartment and a town that I like with people that I like and know.

[Castaras]

Yeah...My school doesn't restart 'til September...Woo!

[Lilly]

I miss school. I really miss school. I wanna go back.

[Nomrom]

I'm not going back to college for the next two tears, and I'm going to miss it. I'll be doing missionary work instead though, and I'm really looking forward to that, so it'll be okay.

[Vonriel]

Considering I'm in school essentially year-round, it's impossible for me to miss it. I do, however, miss my old school, which was in an area with people I knew.

[EmeraldRose]

Now don't get me wrong...I plan to go back to school again. But I am most definitely going to be enjoying just working for the next year!!!!! (Also the paychecks!)

[Charity]

I miss school. I really miss school. I wanna go back.

You can clean the board rubbers if you want.

[Penguinizer]

Hmm...

I must escape into these tubes that are the forums!!

*Crashing sound is heard*
Umm...

*Hides*

[Dragonrider]

I start September 25. Technically. But I'm taking the PSAT in October which means I started studying this week.

[ocato]

I move in next week, which is a lovely surprise as I was worried I wouldn't get to go because I'm a captain insano.

Diplomacy check 4tw?

[Mr. Moon]

I'm re-taking math with my mom's freind's daughter's husband. o.o It's a lot easier the third time through...
