Wadledo's Weirdly Warbling Watercress Watching Washing Machine Only Random Banter #96

[CurlyKitGirl]

That's good. Vey good.
Stupid haunted place and then getting in trouble for 'viciously murdering two dogs', breaking and entering and 'vandalism'.
Only the second charge was real. The thingy there would have killed us if we'd left before the two guard dogs arrived. (They were King Charles Spaniels by the way) And it was in the bin, but the bin was full.
But we heard everything from there and when we tried to leave the kitchen the bin tipped over and rolled over to us slowly and it was barking and growling so viciously that we had to stare at the bin until they arrrived.
And I wa recording everything and the sound was played at the trial and scared everyone. And the tape was filmed by another person who got in troubl with a security guard and only some of the tape could be shown/.
And the ghost dog demon thingy killed the two spaniels! Badly! We could hear them screaming and yelping and we were running and crying and the dog demon thingy was growling and barking o loudly we thought it was behind us.

Very bad dream. We were only there because some girl said she thought the hedge was haunted and we went there during a trip and we saw this 'nose' in the hedge and she said that it would be around more in the night. So we went there and were in the kitchen when the dog demon thingy showed up and everything was so damn scary.

girls...

i'm trying to do a comb-over with mine!

Oh come on. 1/2 inch long armpit hair is still substantial armpit hair. But just... you know... without it hanging out of your shirt sleeve or anything gross. I mean it's one thing to have manly armpit hair but yet another thing lift up your arm and find Vorpal Tribble there.

[The Great Skenardo]

The actual church there is called St Andrews, so it could just be a coincidence. I don't know much about it, but it's in Herefordshire. I guess it's probably a coincidence, I don't want to worry you unduely!

Also because in the Isles, small towns with old Victorian churches and vicarages are dime a dozen. It's like dreaming about a castle in Austria or Scotland.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

Thanks, Trog!!

I had an odd dream the other night, it was really realistic.

I was driving my car following a friend when I couldn't get over a steep hill and so my car broke down.

Then Noel Edmunds jumps out of nowhere with a microphone saying I was the next guest on his new show, "wish or work".

This show does not exist but I dreamt up all the rules and premise. The contestant needs to be in a damsel in distress scenario to be chosen. Then two words are randomly generated. In the dream these words were "marriage" and "beaches". Then the contestant says whether they'd rather work towards a goal associated with the words or wish that the goal had already been met. I said, in the dream, that "beaches" would be one to wish for as I don't live near a beach and that marriage I'd have to work at as I can't be given a marriage without even having a girlfriend. Then at the end of the show the contestant weighs up being given things vs. working for them.

Then I was whisked off to a hotel swimming pool to impress some ladies, and I was being coached my Noel about the eventual goal of getting married. I did a couple of lengths of the pool wearing a blue dressing gown, then I took that off and I was wearing a white dressing gown. And then I took that off and I was wearing trunks.

Then I went to the hotel room where I was trying to watch Noel Edmunds on telly. But it wouldn't work. Then I got a signal and he said "they'll be here soon". The hot girls show up of course I wake up as is tradtional.

When I woke up I spent ages trying to figure out if that was a real TV programme or not. Very odd.

[Jibar]

My friend almost got run over by Noel Edmunds...

*Bounces into thread delivering warm baked hug goodness*
Also, raaaargh! Jibar is kinda happy!
Despite not sleeping or eating or drinking fior 24 hours, this is because he was busy with party, a party where a group of friends decided to pick on him by telling him how awesome they thought he was!
Then, today, I not only managed to get in watching Rocky Horror Picture Show when everybody was clearing out, but upon a trip to the city I got myselfs a copy of BioShock and Dead Rising, and a Paramore poster aaaand finally, after months of searching, found a copy of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol II!
*You Got The Thiiiiiiiiing*

*Continues bouncing through thread dishing out hugs*

[Archonic Energy]

blah, blah, blah BioShock Blah blah

did someone say Rapture?

[dish]

Umm, I'm slightly confused here.
Is Noel Edmunds still alive? I thought I read something to the contrary.
Of course, if he is dead he could still visit Glug's dreams from beyond the grave.

[Lyesmith]

Congratulations, Jibar!
my birthday present arrived today! I am guessing it is either a sword or Gitaur Hero 3.
And i also have a date in roughly an hour, with a cute guy. we are seeing 10,000 BC because it's crap.

[Zakama]

No, he said Bioshock,

I hope it's a sword. GH gets boring after a while.

And I refused to watch that movie. Ice Age is not the same without Scrat.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Cool.
Birthdays are fun; and it's possible I'll finally get my birthday loot on Saturday. £25!
I can either buy:
The Hogfather on DVD and one other.
Three books.
Many books; but from charity shops. And it'd take time.
Other DVDs.
Save.
Books.
Or maybe I could order many things off Amazon...

So many possibilities.
Besides; 'ziras' birthday is the 6th right? Meaning many things will be cheaper.
Oh, I hope sword as well. GH games are something I've never played, but are apparetly addictive (bad considering your GCSEs are in May/June) and repetitive.

You have to choose the charity shop option. I've had such fun trawling through them trying to find stuff. And when you find discworld books for £1.50 you know it's been a good day.I guess I'm just cheap.

That's a bit expensive. I tend not to buy books over £1 unless they're in extremely good condition or part of a series I've been collecting for mooer than one year. And then it takes two to three weeks to decide whether or not to buy it.
That is frugal.

[Raiser Blade]

The brain scene was funny.

If by funny you mean insanely disturbing then yes it was very funny.

It was like watching someone get hit by a car. You don't really want to see it but you can't look away.



Question for my fellow playgrounders:

Who would you rather have capture you Hannibal or Jigsaw?

Talk about hard decisions.

To make things more interesting in either case they want you to suffer as much as possible.

Jigsaw. Hands down.

[Dr. Bath]

Dreams you say?

There are only two dreams I have ever remembered.

One involved some sort of pack of wolves that stalked the city at night and chose houses to attack. Except these wolves were like the deinonichus in Jurrasic Park. They could open doors. And had criket bats for bludgening people. Don't ask how. They just did.

The other dream was effectively the Hitchcock film 'The birds'. But in garish technicolour and instead of birds there were various vicious brightly coloured polygons trying to kill me.

In my defence, the second dream was whilst I was doped up on morphine in hospital. But still really damn weird.

Jigsaw implies I can still survive.

[Raiser Blade]

Jigsaw implies I can still survive.

Yes but you do stand the chance of dying a much slower painful death if you don't win his game. Of course there is the whole getting eaten part with Hannibal.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Jigsaw gives you everything you need to win his game, and even tells you the rules. All you have to do is think, and care about your life.
Remember, Jigsaw's targets all don't love their life, and the game is simply so they can learn to love living, again.
Of course, I haven't seen beyond SAW II, so my information may be slightly outdated.

[Lyesmith]

Ah, Curly! You remember m birthday, i am flattered!
I reccommend you get the Hogfather DVD. Because it was awesome.

Also, my date was great. We mainly ignored the film and smooched.

[TRM]

That is a good date What's better to do while watching a bad movie than that?

[Dr. Bath]

Aww. I liked 10000 BC. It amused me. What with the mammoths and ...Egyptians.

[Sensate]

Aww. I liked 10000 BC. It amused me. What with the mammoths and ...Egyptians.

I don't know...is it a copy of Apocalypto? Cause it looks like it.

[FireFox]

Well, I hit the Barnes and Nobles todaywith abunch of giftcards I had saved up. I wanted to get some books that I haven't read and would look niceon my bookshelf (I treat mybookshelf like a reading resume). The cashiers' reaction: "wow. Sun Tzu and Lovecraft, what an interesting combination."
Dear adults: Yes, I am a teenager who enjoys reading. Yes I read books that were meant for people three times my age. Can we move on please?

[Inigo Montoya]

Amen Firefox. My favorite book a while back was Sun Tzu's Art of War. People gave me the weirdest looks.

[FireFox]

To be fair, the cashier seemed genuinely pleased at my selections... (Which were a Lovecraft compliation, The Art of War, and a Clancy novel)
But this comes up to often...
"What doyou want to be when you grow up?"
"Oh I don't know, I like strategy, so probably gointo the military, 'officer and a gentleman' and all that."
"You want to be a soldier?"

Sun Tzu and Lovecraft? Hmm...


"Proper Logistics of Great One Unit Deployment"? "Unspeakable Horrors and Interrogation"? "Rl'yegh Defense Strategies"?

It's not your age per se. As someone who works for Beowulf and Grenoble I think the two COMBINED is unusual. Most people three times your age read the biggest crap (The Secret anyone? Or the newest load of hooey from Poprah (Oprah) A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle)

Sometimes I play out various scenarios of what the oddest combos of books are. Such as "Kama Sutra" with a children's book coming out of the box.

Also there's a book called "The Game" (or something similar) It always makes me lose

Someone on the B&N community mentioned they found Marley and Me (a book about a dog basically) with Skinny Bitch. THAT'S funny right there.

I think other combos I could come up with are probably mostly inappropiate considering some books titles.... >.>

[/bookseller geek]

EDIT: NINJAAAAAAAAaaassssssssssssssss! But yes. We're always pleased to see some actual interest in reading and not.....whatever the Poperah has come up with

(btw all spoof on names are from the fault of the B&N livejournal community and blatantly stolen from there)

...And my day is made, thank you.
