Dragonrider's Random Banter in Conjunction with the Weighted Cube #92

Is it still Christmas in England? Really? How does that work?

Technically, you put up decorations on Christmas eve, then there's Christmas day and the twelve days of Christmas. And that's Christmas. On the twelfth day you take down the decorations lest you get bad luck 'til next year.

[Ego Slayer]

Here I was thinking it was sweet 666.........Oh wait...... >.>

Now I'm thinking of a song by H.I.M. >_<;
A thwack upside the head to anyone else who knows the song. =P

A try following this tradition here in the states and you get complaints from the neighbors. At least my family did. Valentines decorations are going up now.....twitch....

[YPU]

Hey, good you mention valentines, I might still be in time to find a black rose (or perhaps even make one using ink) that plan didn’t pull trough last year.

[Castaras]

12 days of Christmas. =P

25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 December

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 January.

So technically, it's still Christmas. You're just crazy americans.

Awesome!
In Mexico it ends on January 6.

And I thought FoE was Canadian?

[Trog]

Anyone else's New Year starting out completely crappy?

At least I'm sticking to my resolutions so far (yeah, yeah, I know. It's like day 2. 1 if you don't count yesterday. But I started last week.)

[Scorpina]

Anyone else's New Year starting out completely crappy?

The first thing I remember doing this year is vomiting, and not from alcohol neither.

[FoE]

And I thought FoE was Canadian?

Yes, I live in the most evil country of all — CANADA!

My New Year's Eve was ****, and my New Year isn't going fantastic either. So you have a partner in misery, Trog.

[Castaras]

My new year's been kinda...meh so far. I have this bad feeling that it's going to be worse than than last year...seeing as last year was awesome...

And FoE be Canadian? Cool. Silly Canadians then. =P

Yeah... mine too...
I'll be quitting my job next week and see the company crumble. I can't take it anymore.

[sktarq]

Close-Holding a female friends hair back due to food poisoning (no booze for her as she was already nauseous) Plus massive hangover for all but me and one other. I've spent allot of time taking care of people so far this year.

[Almighty Salmon]

Do dudes celebrate sweet sixteens? I'd always thought it was a girl thing. *shrug*

Actually, I was just kidding. But guys do have Sweet Sixteen partys.

[sktarq]

Actually, I was just kidding. But guys do have Sweet Sixteen partys.

Wait we have parties thrown to celebrate our parents being able to marry us off to total strangers? Where are you again?

[FoE]

Actually, I was just kidding. But guys do have Sweet Sixteen partys.

Yeah, if they want to get the crap kicked out of them the next day at school. Seriously, I was probably the biggest nerd at my school, and even I would have taken a swing at the guy who had a 'Sweet Sixteen' party.

@V: Because it's what all the cool kids are doing.

[Reinboom]

It makes no sense why you would injure someone for having a party.

[wadledo]

It makes no sense why you would injure someone for having a party.

Because we're guys.

Also, my new years been Really good so far.
I got fingerless gloves from a girl I like!
Now what to get her.....

[Reinboom]

Because we're guys.

Not an excuse. Really.

[Jibar]

So, randomness ahoy.
Today I had a friend come round and we finished Kane and Lynch on co-op together. Start to finish. First time I've ever done that with a game.
Then we stole music from each other admist random dialog, including such hits as "Uncanny." "And yet believable *motion like a bird*".
Then my drama teacher called up to tell me I don't have a lesson tomorrow, meaning my first day back to school and I have one lesson. One.
Can the year please continue in much this fashion? Please?

[wadledo]

@Jibar:Why do you live in Dissapointment then?

@SweetRein: For purely humor purposes, I assure you.
It's actually from the affects of society on the male psyche.

@V: It's an epidemic!

[Raiser Blade]

It's official.

I'm sick.

Woke up with a cough and I have been feeling reeeeeeally nauseous.

[Scorpina]

Welcome to the club.

Here's your hat. *offers*

"Violence is one of the most fun things to watch."

Hey, I just made one of the most obscure references ever!

Welcome to the club, Raiser. The plague has hit the Playground.

[Jibar]

@Jibar:Why do you live in Dissapointment then?

The past year has not been good to me.

Also: this is one of the few areas in life where I can brag.
I am never ill.
Ever.
Even when you think I am, I'm not.
The downside is it mean's I have only ever missed one day from school. In year two. One damn day.

[wadledo]

Awwwwwww.
* places catmuffin on head *
* goes to see vaudeville shows *

[Raiser Blade]

Guess who's back?

[Haruki-kun]

Guess who's back?

Yay! Naked Hinjo!

Welcome back, nakedness jokes!

[CurlyKitGirl]

Yay! I start college on the seventh and have the following to do. By the seventh:
E Lang coursework on advertising
A boatload of French I can't be bothered to even look at. and haven't since I printed it off.
Reading The Iliad
Reading The Picture of Dorian Grey
Doing two pages of Iliad work. Based on generalities.

And I can't be bothered to do any of it.

Furthermore: in Eng Lit all we do is perversion. And work based on it. In French I'm apathetic to the enitre thing. And the teacher is a female dog with a terrible disposition.
And I love to learn.

Plus, when I nipped out down Co-op just now as I was leaving the shop I 'click clicked'. The noise I make to summon the dogs and tell them to keep up with me. I have no life.
If all I do when I'm outside is walk the dogs that shows how severely I lack a life.

[Jibar]

Yay! I start college on the seventh

You're doing WHAT!?
The SEVENTH!?
And I have to go back tomorrow!?
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE!
