VOTE, the Democracy Demon's Devilishly Devious and Decidedly Diabolical Desultory Derision (Random Banter) #100

[Player_Zero]

Hey, it's better to spend it now than to have your heirs fighting over it after you die. And you could live off the interest alone from 1 million, so you wouldn't actually have to feel guilty about spending any of it.

I'd feel guilty about owning that amount of money. There's people who need that amount of money, not just want it...

In short, I wouldn't want to keep it or spend it.

Because it lost its μ!

This is going back a bit, but how can good movies be discussed without the barest mention of the greatest movie ever? Haven't any of you seen Saved!?

More on-topic: I used to find myself getting really bored during holidays, until I discovered the wonders of (a) long-lasting series (Stargate especially), (b) a slightly obsessive personality (I watched Saved! 10 times in two weeks) and most importantly (c) Supernatural. Awesomest show ever on TV. And as much as I support the writers and their descision to go on strike, couldn't they have waited until they'd written all of season 3?

[SquirrelKing]

Same could be said of badgers. *nods

Oh, and they forgot Dastardly, Derisive, and, 'course, Delicious.

[Thufir]

IIRC, the word after Desultory is Derision. Unfortunately the end of the thread title seems to have disappeared again.

[SquirrelKing]

Ah, well, very good then. Carry on! (Silly title character limits.) And I just realized that a previous RB thread contained Dastardly, though I did not detect Delicious anywhere. However, it's entirely possible that I went selectively blind.

And now, for something completely different:

USOPP...

NOISE!

I need to be a millionaire

Me too.
It's a good thing there's a new/used/discount bookstore in town, or else my booklist would cost even more.

[Player_Zero]

USOPP!! SPELL!!

[Em Blackleaf]

That totally makes more sense.
I've never watched One Piece...

Also, what's your counter counting?

[Player_Zero]

Sore wa... Hi-mi-tsu desu.

Don't ask him. He'll just tease tease tease. He's happy when we're on our knees.

[Semidi]

Yeah... See, I go to the library and get books. I really only buy things I would want to read repeatedly or reference.

But that doesn't mean that the list of books I want isn't really long...

[Em Blackleaf]

Don't ask him. He'll just tease tease tease. He's happy when we're on our knees.

Got it.
So, I'll stop asking questions now. Because I seem to end up more confused than before...

[Player_Zero]

Got it.

It's for the best, the best, the best, the best of you.

P.S. It's good to dare to be stupid.

[llamamushroom]

I think I speak for everybody here when I ask:

What the devil are you on about?

[Player_Zero]

I don't even know anymore...

So... How is everyone?

[Tempest Fennac]

I'm fine thanks. I'm having a few problems with learning how to drive, though (the way my eyes work appears to be having a negative effect on my steering). I just hope that I'm able to pass before I start at university in September. How are you?

[SquirrelKing]

Rather well, thanks! I'll be much better when I go out to play tennis tomorrow morning, however! I didn't get to play today thanks to work. Ratsa fratsa responsibilities!

[Zeb The Troll]

ow.

ow ow ow ow ow.

So today, first full day back home since the loverly nuptials, we went and picked up the dog from my son-in-law's mother's place. She was really excited to see us and it was great. We get her home and she's very excited to check out all the fun new stuff we brought back.

Then my fun begins. I'm taking her dog food bin down the stairs into the basement to put it away when Skylar, the cat, decides he needs to be downstairs with me too. He skitters under my left foot about the time I'm ready to hit the fourth step from the top.

Down I go. All the way to the bottom. Arse over tea kettle the whole way. I finally end up at the bottom of the stairs with my face landing first in the dog food bin, thankfully, else it would have been my noggin versus the concrete floor and that wouldn't have been pretty.

I'm lucky I was carrying the food or I'd have busted my head wide open, I'm sure. But man, my left side is sore right now. And that happened about 12 hours ago. I even had to take Alarra's car to work tonight because I couldn't bend my left leg far enough to ride my bike and I sure as hell wasn't going to be able to drive my car, which would have required much downtown clutching, a sure no-go with a bum left knee.

ow.

[Player_Zero]

I'm okay...

I should start sleeping more regularly though...

Still don't know how I'm gonna' make it to University myself... I don't think I did that well in my exams... Sorta' kinda' did hopelessly...

[SquirrelKing]

ow.

ow ow ow ow ow.

*snip*

ow.

Running through Skylar's mind: "That'll teach 'im for being away so long."

[Tempest Fennac]

That sounds painful, Zeb. Have you had it checked out yet? Knowing what cats are like, that's probably accurate, SquirrelKing. Do you have a back-up plan, Player_Zero?

[Player_Zero]

Well, I could always find a really tall building.

...No. No backup.

[Tempest Fennac]

Drat. If you're not confidant about getting into university, I'd strongly recommend that you start looking at an alternative as soon as possible (could you get in at a university with less strick prequisites through clearing?)

[Player_Zero]

Could do. That doesn't mean I want to... I'd rather go to a better university since I consider myself able in my academic abilities...

...Well, not so much being a good student as being intelligent... And not so much intelligent as being good at maths...

I would believe that it'd turn out alright in the end, but I can never look on the bright side when it comes to things that personally affect me.

...And not that it matters when weighed in against anyone else's problems for that matter.

[Tempest Fennac]

I hope everything turns out well. If your grades aren't good enough, can you retake the A Level which you did poorly on at college again?

[Midnight Son]

ow.

ow ow ow ow ow.

(and so on)

Gives Zeb a Percocet and a full body pillow to cushion his poor bruised body.

I finally found a group to play D&D with here in Utah. Just had our first session of 4E. I'm da rogue.

[Player_Zero]

I still haven't even read the rules on 4th Ed... You use powers or some such... That's about all I know.

I hope everything turns out well. If your grades aren't good enough, can you retake the A Level which you did poorly on at college again?

I wouldn't.

I shall never go back to that thrice-damned place.

It's not as though I'm looking at bad grade per se, it's just that I only applied to the better universities... I need AAB for my second choice university but I'm more likely to get AAC...

Which is pretty useless for me to be quite fair... The 'A's are from maths, see. The one subject at which I like to believe I'm good.

[Tempest Fennac]

AAC should still be able to get you into a descent university if your grades aren't good enough for the ones you applied for (I'm a bit like that with not wanting anything else to do with the schools which I went to).

Speaking of our lovely thieves, where is I'm da Rogue? Am I just out of the loop, or has she gone missing?

And Zeb, you really should be more careful. We wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you causing our lovely Pudding Goddess to turn into a Death Pudding Goddess.

Also, I just woke up my parents by burning a one-eyed-jack. Fortunately I was able to convince them that my only reason for being awake was food.
