Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
Silly, light reading. Very well-developed world/universe. Constant comment on the world, different nations, human foibles, etc., and also sideways looks at fairytales, superstition, theatre, beauracracy, leadership, law, time, etc. I know a lot of people don't actually like it - I think one guy said it's "not clever" or something. There's lots of different lines that focus on different things. If you give us an idea of what you're into, we can point you in the right direction. I strongly suggest that if you find you don't like one, you try another in a different set - there's so many there's bound to be some weaker ones, and finding one on something you're interested in can really make it click for you.
So yes, but I'm not gonna talk it up at you kinda

I don't think anybody famous would scare me in that way, but I'd've liked to have met Aldous Huxley or George Orwell.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
I've gone snowboarding with Tom Hanks before. Well, not with him, but we were going down the same overpriced mountain at the same time. He's one of my favorite actors. I'm more interested in meeting musicians though... I've met a lot. I've met Sigur Ros, Built to Spill(they live here though), the Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba (cool dude).
I want to meet Robert Smith from the Cure and ask him how he ends up writing such depressing music when he's been with the same girl since he was 14. Also, I'm listening to Burn by The Cure, which might be the best Cure song.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
Phase, read some Pratchett. There are weaker books, but overall it's one of the best, well-developed universes with some of the best crafted characters I've read.
Plus it has Death in it.

To anyone suffering depression: Listen to songs off Everybody Loves a Happy Ending.
I am right now. The songs are sad... But they make you happy. They're strange, but beautiful.
Here's one of the songs.This avatar by Phase.

In that case, you are perfectly fine and could actually do with a few more tabs.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
darn you, i could have been there if i had not been totally exhausted from work.
Also, I prefer ‘queen of argyll’ better song overall.
Also pratchett rules. No other way to state it. You know I was in an English second hand bookstore a few months ago, big one two, and was shocked I could not find anything by him there. Guy behind the counter commented that people don’t get rid of their pratchett books, ever.Last edited by YPU; 2008-06-27 at 10:17 AM.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
I just noticed that Dragonprime is from Assachusetts, which is just a hop/skip/jump away from me, geographically speaking? Any other playgrounders, besides Jannex, close by?
Beguiler, you just got served.

To be specific, I'm in Lexington, Assachusetts. Those of you who know your American history should know the importance of this town.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
About Pratchett:
Never read him. I also didn't know about George Carlin before he died, I am yet to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail and I'm still not finished with H2G2.
So, to hell with all you mainstream people, I'll read some Battle Royale instead.I use black for sarcasm.

CurlyKitGirl: Try to talk your classics class into watching Up Pompeii as an example of Roman low comedy. You can even claim it with a straight face--Roman comedy was farce. (We came sooooo close to having it accepted. Would've been a pain to try to get it off of the TiVo and into a class-friendly format though.)

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
Months... and months... and months of waiting and... oh...
This past months and a bit has been, in a nutshell, the worst time in my life, but this...
Oh... Brawl... this is the perfect way to make things better.
To be honest, I think there's only two people in the world I'd be like that with.
This little lady for one, since I would just not know what to do with myself.
And...

It appears to be Avril Lavigne, for those interested.
Accursed stinging nettles! Why must you sting me so! *Rubs more miscellaneous poultice on skin*
We didn't even find any newts, instead we painted woodlice for some strange reason. Confound the biology course and it's forbidden logic.
I met... the illustrator of Paddington bear once, when I was small. He did a sketch of me eating a sandwich with Paddington watching enviously. It hangs down stairs. There goes my claim to fame.
Stephen Fry came to our school to give a talk, but I was ill. Damn you tonsillitis!

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
Firstly, I laugh at your nettle stings. Then tell you to use dock leaves and/or aloe vera.
Then I ask how difficult was it to paint a woodlouse.
Then I suffer an anuerysm for my sake and yours. STEPHEN FRY! No wai! And you had tonsilitis. Which may be a good thing otherwise you'd have suffered tens of hundreds of cyber deaths by now. Well, more cyber deaths.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
What of the cyber undeaths? And also, I think I'm immune to nettle stings...
I walked through a smallish patch of them knee-deep, and it barely made my skin slightly pink. And didn't feel like anything...
EDIT:@V I have yet to walk through poison ivy... I've stepped through poison oak, and like the nettles, barely noticed.Last edited by randman22222; 2008-06-27 at 02:46 PM.

Nettles? While those hurt, they're nothing compared to poison ivy. If the devil was a plant, he'd be poison ivy.

Re: Dr. Bath's Random Banter, dripping with daring deeds of dastardly deipnosophists
Hah, I scoff at whatever plants you may have problems with. I've walked through fields of 3 meter-tall nettle until my sneakers were wetter than the swamp I was in. But it paid off in the end, we made it out of the forest with an undetonated mortar shell from WWII days. The explosive was still in it, but no detonator...it burned pretty. We also found some bullets, but the shell was the best prize.
