Bushranger's Bodaciously Buffed Random Banter-y Rooster #93

[Ego Slayer]

Bah... it's been 3-4am for the past couple weeks... which has turned out to be really painful. It's 2am right now, and if I didn't feel like crap right now, I'd go to bed like a good 'lil catgirl...

[Raiser Blade]

Huh.
I just realized how much I love not sleeping.
All nighters ATKA!

Wute!

Insomnia ftw!

[wadledo]

Dude!

Random webcomic rereading and discussing the effects of early English metaphysical poets with random web goerz!

[North]

^: I LIVE here and I have to pack some stuff.


Aaaah... GIMP. Bad. Aaaah... .png (what you exported) supports partial transparency, depending on the program you use to view it (read: it has a black(?) background in Internet Explorer and a transparent in FireFox). The GIMP .gif is terrible... I don't think it manages to support all the colors, so the quality is not what a normal .gif is.

Really? Im pretty newbish at this so far. Yours looks above awesome what do you use/how do you do it? Im just using the tutorial.

On the subject of insomnia. I have days off so Im having a Battlestar Galactica marathon while I mess around.

I do mine in Inkscape, 'cause it's just simpler, but I have Illustrator, so the .svg gets imported and .gif'd there... >.>

I'd link an old GIMP'd avatar of mine, but Photobucket is down at the moment...

Off to bed for me.

[InaVegt]

I can't really get past 2 or 3 without wimping out. I once did stay up 24 hours though, 9pm to 9pm. I'll admit to maybe dozing off once or twice though.

The 9pm to 9pm was on Pascha. If you know what that is, cool.

I can only assume you mean Pesach, which is when the departure from Egypt is remembered by the Jewish people.

[Serpentine]

Oh man, I feel like such a girl. I went shoe shopping today. Shoe shopping. Not for sneakers or boots or beach sandals or anything, either. Pretty shoes. And I bought pink ones. And a handbag. A handbag! Which was also pink!

The reason for this being, of course, that I'm going to my cousin's wedding on Saturday. I'm wearing a new dress of mine, dark cornflower blue with dark blue, purplish pink and golden yellow flowers on it, and the only nice shoes I have are black and horribly uncomfortable and the nicest handbags I have are black and/or just don't go with it. So... shoe shopping. And a bag.
*shudders*
(the bag's too... Barbie pink. If my sister has an appropriate one I'll borrow that and return the one I bought unless I can find someone to give it to)

[North]

That is quite supergirly. Ill have to get a cooties booster shot now.

I hate shopping for shoes.

[wadledo]

I always love weddings.

I'm also at the point in my not-sleep-cycle where I can't spell and use grammar good, so I really shouldn't have left that essay until now.

[Zeb The Troll]

Oddly enough, I tend to like weddings too. Someday I hope to even manage to be in one. Okay, I was in one, but as the father of the bride.

*mutters something about his gamerspawn have a wedding ceremony before he did*

[phoenixineohp]

@Phoenix: You keep geckos? Cool. I've always liked the little guys, never had the time or $ to get around to setting up to keep them, though.

I keep a few things right now, but yes I have two species of geckos. I have a Pictus which was given to me by a friend who didn't want to keep buying crickets just for her. She's just here cause she's sweet. And she is very inexpensive to care for.

Then I have a pair of Gargoyle Geckos. They are adorable in my mind, and were an investment. I am hoping to start breeding them later this year. They are harder to keep, and more expensive. Largely because they like to eat baby food and a special diet from the internet. And crickets. Which they seem to suck at hunting now. But eggs will pay for them several times over. Especially if I can get my friend to let his red male have a conjugal visit with my female. Hehehehe *plots*

My sister attacked me with the coloured hair spray. It's a blue, purple, green, pink, orange and red mess.

I think your sister took the whole rainbow thing a little too literally.

[Rawhide]

Do your gargoyle geckos by any chance do a decent impression of a statue?

[phoenixineohp]

Very decent.

But they got the name because of the bumps on their head. But they do like to just hang out.

[The Bushranger]

.png (what you exported) supports partial transparency, depending on the program you use to view it (read: it has a black(?) background in Internet Explorer

In my IE experience, sometimes black, sometimes pale blue, sometimes white...once in a blue moon, transparent.

Sorry you're feeling bad. Hope you're better now. *hugs*

@Serp: Maybe you can hide the pinkishness and get a picture of the dress, though.

@Phoenix: That's pretty cool. There's actually "wild" (feral) geckos in most of Florida nowadays, maybe I'll head down south a bit and try to catch some...

[Serpentine]

@Serp: Maybe you can hide the pinkishness and get a picture of the dress, though.

Ner My sister thinks she has a good bag to go with it, so I'll probably end up taking that Barbie monstrosity back. I've gotta get my camera back off her, too, to get photos of the wedding (and me, too, if you're lucky )

If you tried that in Australia you'd be going the right way for a hefty fine.

Up here, they'd be happy to have people remove 'em, since they're exotic invaders. Which in general are a major problem for us here in the Sunshine State. Brazilian pepper, purple swamphens, Cuban treefrogs...and the list goes on and on and on.

@v And pythons, too.

[phoenixineohp]

Don't forget boa constrictors. I want to volunteer or get the job to go and help haul those out of the everglades.
And green iguanas, though I am not going near those.
And some.... well pretty much every family of reptile there is, there is an invasive species in Florida. We just need to steal some tuataras and plant them and see how they do. Hehehe. Then you would have a complete set!

[Serpentine]

Interesting. I think exotic reptiles are one of the few groups of living things that haven't invaded Australia...
Also: Tuataras rock

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

Don't forget boa constrictors.

Look out they don't get a crush on you. I hear if you get in a relationship with them they constrict the time you spend with your friends.

Jealous ones they are.

[phoenixineohp]

But nothing cuddles better than a constrictor!

[Almighty Salmon]

I'm sure recieveing a cuddle from a constricor would be rather breathtaking.

[Serpentine]

Haha! Pxp, have you read The Python That Cried, or is that just an innocent coincidence?

[phoenixineohp]

Haven't read or heard of it. Linky?

And oooo, pun damage!

[Gem Flower]

This seems to be some sort of never-ending......word joke! Yay! Humor for lexophiles!

[Ceska]

1. Good thing I am immune to pun damage.

2. It is also illegal to do that here, Serpie. On another note, it just took me fifteen minutes to find out how the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora is called in English, since it's called "Washingtoner Artenschutzabkommen" in German. I even have a German version of that on my PC, but no, finding it isn't that easy.

3. That said, Bushy, you still should talk to local authorities about it first. It's definitely better to be sure about it than to get fined for not knowing any better.

[The Bushranger]

Probably; I seem to recall a list of don't-touch species on the fish-and-game website and may take a gander later.

Generally, over here, introduced/escaped species are fair game. After all, they shoot swamphens, don't they?

At least, they do here...

[InaVegt]

I wants comments.

[bosssmiley]

Not a lot of Europe is right... whole Europe drives right. Only a small island somewhere in the north don't want to change...

There's a likely reason for that, and it's name is Napoleon Bonaparte.
See, back when Napoleon conquered Continental Europe he prescribed that all traffic in domains his forces occupied should pass to the right, thereby saving time and money on travel by avoiding arguments over right of way on narrow roads. Whatever the merits or flaws of Napoleonic rule this particular idea was a very rational measure that the majority of the rest of the world later adopted.

Exception: Britain. Not having bent the knee to this Corsican Johnny Jump-up our Parliament passed a symbolic law that all traffic in British territories should pass on the left. Those areas of the world under British rule (Canada, Oz, NZ), hegemony (the Gulf Emirates) or cultural influence (Japan) drive on the left to this day.

Indonesia and Surinam (former Dutch colonies) also drive on the left, although the reason for that escapes me.

Indonesia does it out of spite, Suriname because it was an English colony before it was a Dutch one.

Remember you guys forcing us to trade it for New-Netherlands? (Nowaday called New-York (Originally called New Amsterdam) and parts of the surrounding states, IIRC)

[Charity]

Yeah that worked out really well Bossman... now that all cars are manufactured in LHD countrys we have to pay well over the odds for our cars.. unless of course we are wealthy enough to afford something British.
