Destro Yersul's Dangerously Distracting and Doubtlessly Disturbing Random Banter #103

[Jibar]

Brilliance
Definition: Trying to find this song, and finding the most relevant video is this.

[Lyesmith]

Oh, Gods.
Jibar.
I actually like that song now.
Still, it'll be fun to tease Rhian with. Who didnt realise what it was about. Oh, Rhian.

And yes, it really is a lamentable waste of time. I could be doing stuff that matters, damnit!

[Tempest Fennac]

For some reason, schools have issues with the idea that they exist to teach people, and they seem to think that stuff like that is productive (it's like head teachers rambling on about naff-all at prize-giving ceromonies).

[bosssmiley]

On a semi-related note, does a warforged armed with a component that shoots lightning bolts too powerful? Or does the awesomeness make it alright?

It would probably count as an inbuilt wand whatsit component from the ECS.
Probably not overpowered

• the wand will probably require UMD checks to activate
• it'll run down quickly enough (50 charges or 2/day won't last long if used as a primary weapon)
• a characteristic weapon like that will teach its own counter (energy resistance) quickly enough

Functionally it would be not dissimilar to a breath weapon: intermittent substantial damage

Violence and teaching don't mix.

Who is this oik who knows not our ancient and honourable traditions? Six of the best for the rapscallion!

I thought Curly's response was more funny than mean. But I'm told that I have an odd sense of humor. And we won't go into what went through my head when she said her pants kept falling down.

Anyhoo, *hugs* to Curly. Get some sleep, hun.

[Destro_Yersul]

See? I'm good with titles. Only six pages and we've hit Disturbing already. Distracting was a given.

And yeah, I thought it was kinda funny too. And I too have an odd sense of humour. I believe 'warped' is how it's been referred to most often.

[Dihan]

There's a "Self Help Day" on Wednesday in my school. Basically we're sent 10 KM along the mountains in a circle, raising money for the school, except we're not allowed to get sponsors. It wouldn't be so bad but as I'm in year 13 we're given the job of standing around with friends all day telling people which way to go - I did this last year and it was fun. However this year I have no good friends (I stayed back a year to finish off two AS courses I started last year) so I really don't want to go just to sit around by myself doing nothing.

Besides, I'm not much of a walker. I think I'll just stay at home and do something productive, like, I don't know, homework perhaps? Instead of wasting my time sitting around watching little brats raise a handful of pennies for my stupid school, and developing a cold in the process.

You could get a loudspeaker and play the theme song from M*A*S*H through it at all the walkers.

Show

For those who are too young to remember, the song is titled Suicide is Painless.

[Edge]

Yup, it's wand-powered. The only fight they've had with these guys so far was really short, given the NPCs were on a grab-and-run mission. Now to develop a complication for the Karnnathi dragonshard...

I'm British - all British people are warped.
I'm a teenager - all teenagers are warped, twisted, evil and suffer from hormones.
I have a sarcastic wit and a tongue shaped from purest acid.
I am also sleep deprived. And cranky. And writing in French.

I am therefore, warped and twisted so far past evil that even CE looks like LG.

In other news, I'm finding it so easy to switch from French to ENglish and vice versa that when I talk to myself it's a peculiar mixture of both, with some Japanese and latin mixed in for fun.

[Lyesmith]

*Groans*
Oh gods.
Curlyyyy
That sounds painful to me. I am utterly, utterly monolingual, no matter how hard I try. I put in a ton of effort for French, and got a bloody E!

[Edge]

I pepper my English with the odd French, Italian or Ancient Sumerian word.

What?

[wadledo]

I have failed to learn(in no particular order):
French,
Latin,
Spanish,
American Sign Language,
German,
Japanese,
Chinese,
Italian,
and Cherokee.

My girlfriend has tried to teach me a little Hawaiian, and I have several friends who can speak Korean who also say I'm hopeless.
Don't talk to me about being bad at languages.

[Zeful]

Languages are fun (hard but...) though I only failed spanish class twice.

[Gem Flower]

Ooh! Languages! *excels at languages*

[Dr. Bath]

Noouu! My story about failing at German! All gone. Curse you cuttarl button!

Anyhoo... <3 BBC radio. Yayz! 8 til midnight on bbc radio 1 and 2 makes me happy.

I'm Canadian, which is close enough, and I appreciate British Humour.
I technically still a teenager, though that'll end in a month or so.
I'm sarcastic and generally amusing, even if only I think so.
I'm sleep deprived, which makes everything inexplicably funny, and I hate French.

I end up NG. Study in contradictions, I am.

I want to learn German, because it's so much fun to yell in, but for now I'm sticking with English. Which means I have an excessive vocabulary in that one language, because I can't be arsed to start learning a new one.

I'm Brit and twisted.
Teen and twisted (And hella hormonal)
Sarcasm and wit are one's bread and butter.
But i'm generally just cranky.

And CN. CN is the best alignment, really. You can do Whatever you want. The Fey have it right, ladies and gents.

*Dances the Saftey Dance*

[Oregano]

Can all the British people name things that represent Britishness, it's actually for Film but I already have an idea.

Rain= Represents the Passive Aggressiveness of British people(We'll complain but do nothing about it).

[Lyesmith]

I really wish i could find the Goodness Gracious Me Eurovision entry.
It sums up the british SO WELL.

Edit : Found it.

[Edge]

Britishness is fish'n'chips, umbrellas, the Guardian and a love of dark humour.

c/f Frankie Boyle.

[Lyesmith]

Ah, Frankie Boyle. He's by far one of my favourite comedians.

[CurlyKitGirl]

What's so wierd about monologuing to oneself in many languages? But at least I've done the formal letter now.

And I've just remembered something I completely forgot, and even saved deliberately to tell you guys.
In E Lang we had a practice exam paper to do today (warming up for commentary and January) and one of the articles we had to base our directed writing off of was from WIKIPEDIA!
An article in an exam paper.
From Wikipedia.
I had a geeky moment and referenced xkcd all over the paper. And then some other geeky things.

Jermey Clarkson on The British [from Never Mind the Buzzcocks] (paraphrased): " . . . and we, who were raised on a steady diet of fish fingers and drizzle eventually managed to conquer a third of the known world."

[Destro_Yersul]

Does the fish n' chips have Tartar sauce? Because if it does I totally call it.

Also, and don't take this the wrong way any of you British folks out there: You have pretentious accents.

[Lyesmith]

It's not so much wierd, it just makes me scared of you.
Another guy who's name i've forgotten on the british :
'The average person from britan would rather be right than happy. This tells you all you need to know, really.'

[Oregano]

I personally find British accents to sound normal, even if they're fastly different, it might be because I'm used to them though.

Some American accent's annoy me, I was watchign a clip of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind earlier and Jim Carrey's voice was so annoying, of course Kate Winslet's faux-american voice was worse.

[Groundhog]

I find that when people who don't have an American accent try to put one on, they usually sound like they're imitating someone who has some sort of mental problem. Wonder what that says about most people's opinion of Americans...

Also, why have people switched to Jibar-like muffintars?

[Destro_Yersul]

Jibar's Birthday is coming up. We want to inflate his ego.

[Lyesmith]

Yeah. We figued it's best to make him happy and lure him into a false sense of security before we sacrifice him.

[Groundhog]

Aha. Just how is the sacrificing going to work?
