Slayer's Seemingly Sweet and Socially Silly Random Banter # 107

...Wait, Gibbons?
I think he did a talk at the Psych lecture last week, though i might be misremembering.
I'll confess i think the Id/Ego/Super-ego has some plausibility, with some people having some bits stronger than others (I know two people who are hugely Id and Super-ego, it's quite funny. They're one Ego off a power trio)

If you start a happy birthday thread for me, Aziraphoneme, you can get me drunk and do whatever as long as there's no marks left in the morning.

...*Waits until the 3rd*
*Plots*

[Kneenibble]

(I know this is in absolutely bad taste, but) But it's todaaay!

Actually I lied. You could get me drunk anyways.

[Player_Zero]

That actually disappointed me PZ, I was expecting something less cliche. Seen a dozen variations.

I ain't here to amuse you. I'm here to amuse me. And it does.

Comments-wise I was looking for something a little less cliche. You disappoint me. I've seen over nine thousand variations.

On another note, I can't stop trying to eat this spoon. It is not eat-able. It is a spoon. A stainless steel spoon.

[Lyesmith]

Oh, I know.
I was bluffing.
But happy birthday anyway!
Get anything nice? A new parasol?

I doubt that m'boy.
For starters, she's a she. Stella Gibbons. And she's dead. And she was an author/journalist. And she's dead.
And she wrote Cold Comfort Farm which parodies the ramantic novels like Tess of the d'Urbervilles, Sons and Lovers (Lawrence); anything by Austen and book of that type.

EDIT:
@PZ: I've done the same. Spent four days on and off nibbling a spoon because it was there; the taste was quite nice too.

I thought I was imagining it.
Nibbling things is a terrible habit, i'll nibble more or less anything if it gets too close.
I was even chewing on my own flesh! (Didnt really taste of anything)

[Kaelaroth]

I loved Cold Comfort Farm. Just sayin'

Same. Hair, flesh, paper. Broke the habit mostly. But yes, spoons taste quite nice; knives, not so much

I loved Cold Comfort Farm. Just sayin'

Adam and his liddle mop! Elfine 'my cowdling' and Aimless, Graceless, Feckless and Pointless (one of whome had a leg fall off 'cause of gangrene and mildew) and Big Business the bull whom Seth loves to lounge off unbuttoning his many many buttoned shirts to visit.
Note: this will only make sense if you've read the book.

[Lyesmith]

...You just gave me a terrible flashback to The Archers.
Which is so, so dull at the moment! They're saving all the drama for Christmas, I'll bet. *Continues to rant to himself*

[SMEE]

Bow before your new god.

[Player_Zero]

I searched for 'scary youtube video' and came up with this: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=bBRkep8hVzc

You awful person. I was expecting something like that, so turned the volume to 5%. I wasn't scared, but you made my dog run away tail between his legs.

But doesn't it taste good?

[Kneenibble]

Mr. 0, you crack me up.

[Player_Zero]

I'm a cat person anyhow. 'Sides, I already knew I'm horrible.

But doesn't it taste good?

It had the taste of gods.

Mr. 0, you crack me up.

D'aww. I wub you too.

[SoD]

That's right, so you are. That's why you canceled our wedding, is it not?

[Player_Zero]

Hmmm...

Hmmmm....

HMM...
HMM... MAH BOI...

No... I think that was because we come from separate worlds. I'm a common blacksmith's apprentice, whereas you're a high-born son of a duke.

Edit: ...No... Wait... I think that was a movie I saw that one time.

Player Zero makes me confident that helping the crocodiles gain sentience would have been the poorer choice.

For most other choices, it would be. Wait, have you alreasy created sentient crocodiles? Run for your lives!

[Cristo Meyers]

No worries, we've already created sentient alligators to deal with the rogue sentient crocs...

[Skippy]

My fingers are hurting badly and I can hardly type. I've been playing the bass for the last two hours, for the first time in my life. It's so damn awesome...

Please. Everyone knows Crocodiles beat alligators! It's nature.

Morals.

Such a ridiculous thing, particularly when someone else asks you to . What you do is up to you to decide. If it is right or wrong is up to you to decide. Others might disagree, but simple morals, though consistent through most of the society, are, in my opinion, personal. If you think something is right or wrong, that doesn't mean I'll agree with you. And that third person over there might have a third idea of it. Gray areas abound, and morally, it is not feasible to say that something is 'right' or 'wrong', except in your own context. So keep your moralizations of right and wrong to yourself.

[someonenonotyou]

No Alligators beat Crocodiles

Yay! another place to rant about right and wrong! Anway, I would agree with the Gray Jester is some of the above(specificly about the gray area) Morals are specificly a point of view. I personaly support good(or what I consider to be good) but morals and right and wrong are just SO easy to twist around to fit anything. My basic way to define good from evil is to think. Does this do more harm than it does good and vise versa.

[Coidzor]

The best part about morals is when people start expecting you to make judgments when it's not even one's place to decide.

Though sometimes it does help to get an outside perspective on things if one is at a place where a decision is difficult.

See, crocodiles only win in naval engagements and amphibious assaults so long as the hippos don't get involved. And lordy, lordy, we do not want the hibbos to get involved. They're more aggressive than we are and they're herbivores to boot.

Mini-rantamagiger:

Morals.

The thing is, most people assume that some things are morally right or wrong. Helping a friend get back on his feet after they have a major change in lifestyle is generally seen as good, whereas killing, eating, and torturing children is seen as bad.

Assumptions can be made. "Don't kick that old guy" "Give that guy some cash" "Stop licking my soup!" "Oh God, you've killed him without him being an imminent threat or in a notion where capitol punishment is in effect!"
