Em's Extremely Extraordinarily Epic Random Banter #91

[Dragonrider]

If I eat too much pineapple, the roof of my mouth and my tongue hurt for a couple days afterwards...the same thing happens with oranges but I think that's the citric acid. If I have a pineapple allergy I think I'll be ready to do murder, being allergic to cheese is bad enough...it's not fair when you like something and can't eat it.

Yay for game glitches. It's like when I fall through the ground while playing Morrowind...

That's not a glitch. There's invisible pits of quicksand all over the place. Didn't you read the manual?

[Raiser Blade]

Does anyone have any relatives in omaha?

I do I hope they are OK.

I can go through the surface of islands while swimming when I play Donkey Kong 64. I get stuck all the time. And one time, when my dad was playing Call of Cthulhu, he fell through the ground and you could see a whole dark map of the area. It was pretty cool, but he couldn't move or get out of that place.

...weirdest thing happened to me.
So I was playing Assassin's Creed, and I killed a guard, and after death, he morphed. Distorted. Deformed.

This is a picture I got of it...

Wiiiiiiieeeeeeerd.

[Raiser Blade]

You guys heard about the Omaha shooting right?

[Serpentine]

Another shooting? Yay.

Pineapple is... okay. I don't like the crunchy bits.

That is singularly awesome! Which version do you have, because if its the 360 one, I need to boot it up and start shanking guards.
Also:
Why the blending? you're only being watched with an open courtyard right in front of you! Thats time to run away from the scene, duck around the corner and climb up a wall before anybody important (I.E. "With swords") shows up.

[Raiser Blade]

As far as I know some guy walked into a mall in Omaha and shot some people and then killed himself.

I have family in Omaha....


I are teh worried.


Edit: I just found out that the shooter was 19 years old. Such a tragic event.

While playing WoW and going through the barrens, the last patch had glitches in some of the seeding's interaction with the ground. So a giant dinosaur is glitch hopping up and down in the middle of a mountain. Very amusing to see.

And right before Christmas and stuff!
That's so sad.

I know how you feel - from what I heard, there were nine dead in total, counting the shooter.

Death is (almost) always tragic.

I'm getting my wisdom teeth out approximately 14 hours from now. I'm kinda worried. I'm doing all four, none of them are "through" yet, and they're putting me under full anesthesia for the process...I had appendicitis when I was 12 so I've been through the anesthetic thing before, but this is quite different. For one thing, I have time beforehand to think about it.

[phoenixineohp]

Everyone says that it's horrible, but I had all 4 done at once, by a great doctor, was put under for it and given enough pain meds after.

And you know what? I really enjoyed the experience.

Honest.

I had little bruising or swelling or pain. Every time I could count to 20,they gave me more meds. I slept like a rock. I had no stress. (I happened during a semester switch in highschool, and no stress is pretty much a new feeling for me.) The physiological experiences were amazing to undergo.

The only downsides were the sutures coming out, (I accidentally swallowed one so I pulled the other out), keeping the gums clean from food, and craving EVERYTHING that was on t.v. I'm a veggie and usually ads don't affect me at all. But at that point if The Simpsons were eating burgers, I wanted a burger. That was weird.

So what I mean to say is... I wouldn't worry to much about it. There is little you can do but sit back and find the silver linings.

360 here.

And I'm blending so that the guards won't come up and attack me while I try and use the digital camera.
Let me tell you, that got annoying until I put the duct tape on the A button.

Congrats to little cute Em for getting her own Random Banter. You are now officially a forum celebrity.

Wooo!! New thread!!!

Hmmm... Once again, I had something to say and I forgot it. Ah well...

I should begin worrying about my short term memory. Is there any way I can improve it?

All four of mine are coming through without any problems at all ^_^
Goff's, on the other hand... Only two of his seem to have existed, and they were growing in sideways, pushing all his teeth to the front. He had to get them torn out, and then they went and got infected, one after the other. He didn't like the Codeine very much...
Urm. Good luck?

[FdL]

I never got any wisdom teeth...It's weird now i think of it. Might be somehow related to my occlusion problem? hmmm
Teeth and stuff are so annoying... 9_9

[Jack Squat]

I'll echo pxp by saying that wisdom teeth removal wasn't too bad for me. It took a little longer than I'd have thought to put me out (laughing glass didn't do anything on it's own, didn't even notice it until they gave me the IV stuff, which took at least 4 shots). I was out for about an hour and a half, procedure took about 50. Slept most of the first day, took plenty of pain meds, did that salt-water thing that they told me to, and was eating solid food 2-3 days later.

Hope yours is as easy as mine is, Dragonrider. Good luck

[jmaccabeus]

I've not had any wisdom tooth trouble, but I kind of cheated: I had four premolars removed. That gave them room to move in, as well as helping my other teeth line up (which was the primary reason for pulling them). Two have come in perfectly, while the other two haven't yet come in but aren't causing any trouble.

Hope your tooth removal goes well. Once the ordeal is over, you'll feel fine, and won't have to worry about it again.


EDIT: For those curious, my premolar pulling was a sort of "wisdom tooth lite": still required anaesthetic, but not as much, nor painkillers afterward. Local anaesthetic didn't work, though. Still don't know why, must just have odd nerves or something.

I can feel it every time with the local. I just tell the dentist to go ahead and ignore me when I make a sound cause he hit a nerve. It's highly uncomfortable, but not really painful(usually).

[MCerberus]

I went with the "night night gas" option (well actually it was an injection with some nitrous oxide to boot). I woke up in a comfy chair some time later and my gums didn't even hurt unless I tried to eat.

A bit of advice though: if they give you Vicadin for a pain killer, drink a glass of milk and/or eat a slice of bread before taking the pill. It's a great way to avoid it making you sick.

[Lemur]

I got really nervous prior to having my wisdom teeth pulled, even though I knew I'd get used to it. It's not terribly comfortable to think about having parts of your body removed. I asked if I could keep them afterwards though, so I still have the teeth in a jar now

The process itself is... I don't even remember. Whatever they put me on completely shorted out my long term memory process. I just sort of came back to reality some time after the operation.

You should feel better once it's over, DR.

[Zeb The Troll]

Dragonrider, aren't you a bit young to be getting your wisdome teeth pulled? I got mine out when I was in my mid 20's. All four at once. No needles that I was aware of. They gave me some gas as a relaxer and I felt fine, then the dentist said "okay, we're going to add a different gas to the mix that will put you under now. By the time you wake up, we'll be done." I saw him reach and twist and then a few seconds later I was out. I woke up some time later in the waiting room and my sister was there to take me home.

I did have a little bout with dry socket a couple days later, but that was easily remedied by the dentist's office by simply packing some anesthetic bandages in the sockets.

My point being that, for me, the experience wasn't bad at all considering I'd just had surgery. I predict a similar experience for you.

[Rockphed]

Getting my wisdom teeth out is one of only 2 time in my life where I have been Unconscious and not asleep. (The other was when I got hit by a car.) But they put me under, I woke up a bit later minus 4 teeth. Spent all day asleep on the couch which I think I wasn't supposed to do. Stopped taking the pain meds the next day, and went back to school on Monday. Then again, I have a high pain tolerance. Don't worry. It will be alright.

Today is the last day of classes for me this semester!

And none too soon!

so... you need a RB thread to be a cleb eh....

[Thanatos 51-50]

Ah, that explains the blending, then.

In REF:
Wisdom teeth.
I only had two come in (my bottom two). They were pulled in bootcamp. Iwas restriceted to my rack (and the head, obviously) for two days thereafter, and put on light limited duty for a third.
Additionally, I was on a "soft food only" diet.
Those were the worst three days of Boot.
Nothing hurt (even when I "forgot" to take the pain pills), but I would have rather been training.
