Cristo's Consistently Confusing and Constantly Casual Random Banter #105

[Flickerdart]

And rain made of water. It can be quite terrifying.

Certainly better than rain made of fire. Or earth. In fact, only rain made of air is better. If we include Eastern elements, however...rain of Wood, Metal and Lightning are not going to be very pleasant either. So enjoy your water rain.

[Dr. Bath]

You wouldn't say that if you were here, Flickerdart!

I'd have fire rain anyday. It has dragons.

Damn that was a terrible film...

[Player_Zero]

Ahhh... Retreating from reality for the win... Reckon if I keep going this way then one of these days I'm gonna' get commited. Should be fun.

[UncleWolf]

We've got better weather than that in the UK. We can have fog that will last for hours. And we can have whole inches of snow that will put us at a stand-still.

Inches? Try having to go to school in a foot of snow. And snow is nothing, just wait until you are in your first Ice storm. An inch of solid ice covering everything while trees literally explode because the sap in them has frozen solid.
"Hmmm, I wonder how the storm is going?"
*steps outside*
KRACKBOOM!!!
"Ooooo...."

[blackfox]

Snow? Snow? Did someone say snow?

Whenever my school lets out early for snow, we have a gigantic 3-neighborhood snowball fight, Woodbrook vs. Carrsbroook vs. Still Meadow.

...vs. ALLEN. (...Who is no longer a freshman... who will we gang up on this year?)

Whenever my school lets out for snow, it's 73 degrees out...that or there's half an inch, and it's gone within an hour anyways.

[blackfox]

My school has let out for a 50% chance of snow before. And... there was nothing.

(...I think that was the day I went and got my driver's permit... Because normal people still had to be at work and they weren't making massive lines at the DMV. I got through in an hour. :D)

[Phase]

My school let out one day becuse there was a high chance of a major blizzard. There was none. The next day we had to come to school. Guess what? 12+ inches.

[UncleWolf]

I had to write a response essay for my criminal justice class on a career day.
My question is this. Is this too sarcastic? It is my response though.

Criminal Justice Career Day
In my personal opinion, the career day held for the Criminal Justice program, was actually pretty decent. The main thing that really sticks in my mind was the police segway that was there. Besides, being really cool, I had one question that popped into my mind after seeing it. Why would anyone take me seriously if I had to go around town driving that thing? I’m pretty sure that segways can move at a decent speed, but I think the criminal would just end up stopping because he would be laughing too hard. This is just my personal opinion though. For all I really know, felons could take segways really seriously*.









* Officer: “Sir! Put your arms on your head and lay face down on the ground!”
Criminal: “Yes sir. Please don’t run me over.”

Psh, I got through in about an hour on a normal day. And by 'normal day', I actually mean "A saturday morning."

It isn't all that bad. I remember that day, the weather was -awesome-. It was like... 60-70 for most of the day, iirc.

That's not bad. Toronto schools wouldn't close on less than double that.

[Dumbledore lives]

Jeez I wish we had snow here, the only place to get it is up in the mountains, and that's quite a few hours drive. Course where we used to live we got out of school for about 4 inches or so, because snow was so uncommon that it was a really nice treat. It was pretty fun to be at school though with snowball fights an option during break.

[Jibar]

*Cue Jaws Theme*

And after that weekend, I henceforth refuse to do any homework today.
Instead, I shall spend it perfecting Skullcrusher Mountain on Rock Band and dealing with the soon to be a nervous breakdown that is Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise.
Seriously. The game is ridiculously complicated, and yet makes me love all my pinatas so much that I could never think of stopping now I've started.
Oh, and they're all named Dave, or a variation of Dave.
Replacement Dave the Pretztail keeps falling asleep on the train tracks. Maybe Dave the Geckie is always ridiculously happy, though he seems to be on a bit of a downer lately. Dave As Well the Mousemallow is having his life threatened by at least three or four things, as is Green Dave the Whirlm. No Longer Evil Dave the Shellybean regrets ever joining, while Victory Dave the Sherbat wonders when he'll ever get out on the racetrack again. Then there's Fancy Dave the Pengum who is incredibly demanding and complicated and I need to get him a mate. And framing all of this is me the gardener wishing there was some option to woo Petula.

And if you understood all that, congratulations, you're just as crazy as me.

[Tempest Fennac]

That sounds even more convoluted that the one occasion when I attempted to run a plot in HALO. Can you pick other names for them?

Bah on rain. Try tornadoes, then we'll talk.

"Top Gear" last night rocked. Woe unto those who did not have the good fortune to see Jezza's latest Porsche review (transcript follows: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! AGH! AAAAAAAAAGH!!!"), multiple choice commentary on the Grand Prix Championship, Michael Parkinson on the couch, the lads' various preciouses (drum kit, grand piano, Oliver) get squished by flaming lorries, and Clarkson drive through a brick wall.

"Some say...he had sex with Russell Brand's answerphone. All we know..."


Jezza = General Zod, and all should kneel before him.

I suspect Phase succumbed to the viagra-bot virus two sentences from the end of his 'meteorological woes' post.

ION: Dennis Rodman in Pro-Am celebrity wrestling? Brace for epic fail/comedy gold! {delete as appropriate}

Also, Shakespeare + steampunk = ???

What about rainin' men?

And Eggy seems to have a dirty mind. Very dirty, indeed.

Sorry mate, was clearing my email inbox right before I tabbed over to RB. Seeing innuendoes everywhere for a minute.

*eyescrub*

[Charity]

That wont work eggy, the filth goes all the way to the back.

And yes Topgear rocked lat night.

and why arn't you using you prodigious brain juice to help me out with my background npcs over in gaming? huh...

damnit he's gone offline.

[InaVegt]

I've only been free for snow once, and that was when we had so much snow that the traffic stood still in the entire southern half of country, the railways were massively disrupted, and more such fun.

It was glorious. I also only found out about it at six o'clock. *cues excited squeal* I was laughing so hard during the lorry chalenges because my dad drives one and I knew a fair bit about how they were screwing up - beyond the nearly destroying their preciouses, setting fire to their trailers and losing/destroying their cargo. And the driving through brick walls. And the power sliding.
"It's Rig Stig."
Gonna love this series. Wonder if they'll do a segment on the new Aston Martin?

[TwoBitWriter]

Hello, fellow Playgrounders. You can all relax now, I'm back on for another eight hours

In other news, Sting is incredible.

What a cool dad... I feel inadequete all of a sudden.

I feel so inadequate now; I've only left one message for the next family to live here and it's so easy to find.
I want a house like that.
*covets*

I've just listened to Love of My Life for the fifteenth time in a row and I'm not quite sure why. I also know that I immediately forget I listened to Don't Stop Me Now within seconds of it finishing. It took me fimes and me actually writing in a Word doc that I'd listened to it to convince me I had.
I have also realised that I like guys with long hair, providing long hair suits them.

Great part of having your own place, you can take steps to make it look like anything you want.

I can't wait to piss off my neighborhood association

Edit: I just realized that the phrase "Piss off my neighborhood association" might be a much stronger phrase in Europe than America. I'm not stepping on any toes am I? Just for future reference...

[InaVegt]

Piss of is generally seen as pretty offensive round my place, but the offensiveness of loans from English differs hugely between cities. And I wouldn't even know what it's like in Colony Stealin' Land.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Eeeehhhh, what's a neighbourhood association when it's at home?
Me, I don't see anything offensive or strong about that statement; and I think most Britishers wouldn't care either. Then again, we're all cynical people who freely use words (outside out parental/child hearing) that are seen as offensive to Americans and possibly Canadians.
Our slang term for cigarette, bar 'ciggie' over your side of the ocean is an offensive term for a homosexual, but most Britishers who smoke use it rather than any other word.

So, nothing strong in that phrase for us anyway. Might be different for others though.
