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

[UncleWolf]

Wow new record, 9 people posted after me this time.

[Cristo Meyers]

Well, see, when you go to sleep, we all gather at a pre-chosen place and plot to take over the world in your absence.

Doesn't leave a lot of time for posting.

Meh, I do that in my sleep.
I already have 4 plans that could work. The problem is getting the money.

Counterpoint: Double-decker bus, Mr. Fancypants; little bird says 'tweet, tweet, tweet.' Spaghetti noodle goldfish, in summary.

O great and glorious day! For countless years ago was it written, in a prophecy handed down by word of mouth by the faithful, that in a time of mild inconvenience one would come, and by these very words reveal himself to be the true king!

[TwoBitWriter]

Gafargle blatt? Actoo shbabablab?

...Time Loop that!


It was actually slightly warm this morning (read: actually above freezing)...I'd almost forgotten what it felt like to go outside and not have to scrape frost off of my car...

Telling you, Cristo. You should move to Oklahoma during the Winter. We are topping out in the 40's and 50's this week.

@^: Actually, I think I'd like to move to Texas or Arizona for the climate, but I'm afraid the other people already living there would eventually lynch me.

Well, then, for my first Royal Decree: Grognard in a window bun. Our lampshades little candle referee. Camel eating carp waffles. 'Bork bork bork' says the Sweedish Chef.

Shuddap...

I got a fold-out in the couch, you and your wife are more than welcome to stay. Make sure you pay for your own food though.

[Player_Zero]

It seems unlikely. With me and Zero and Curly and Jibar, etc. here, sooner or later we will return to Shakespeare and/or maths.

Transerse. Limit. Infinity. Decimal. Vector. Matrix. Scalar. Invese. Function. Sine. Discrete. Complete. Induction. Reduced. Reducible. Roots. Factors. Oscillation. Harmonic. Forced. Ordinary. Partial. Linear. Homogeneous. Autonomous. Tangent. Polyhedra. Relative. Convergent. Absolutely convergent. Conditionally convergent. Cauchy. Null. Set. Geometric. Eigenvalues. Scalar triple product. Second order. Equivalence. Nth order. Dependant. Independant. Integral. Series. Sequence. Partial. Polynomial. Identity. Theorem.

Now let's see your limits as I tend to infinity.

Let's see. I know about... half of those terms.

You forgot derivative, though.

[Cristo Meyers]

Yeah...no...I spent most of last summer sleeping on a fold-out...rather not repeat the experience.

I swear if I hear one more person singing Let It Snow I'm going to have to do them damage. Snow is the work of the devil. Only he could've come up with something so innocuous and yet so evil that it turns every road into a skating rink of doom and every driver into a blithering idiot...

[Thufir]

I know all of them.

Also, Zero, you missed the v in transverse, and dependent and independent are spelled like I just spelled them.

Divergence. Curl. Tensor. Group. Lemma. Phase portrait. Congruence. Transform. Series. Fourier. Singularity. Seperable. Initial value. Boundary condition. Streamline. Piece-wise continuous. Contradiction. Analytic. Particle path. Riemann sheet. Complementary function. Cosecant. Hyperbolic. Exponential. Conjugate. Element. Identity. Group theoretical power. Transpose. Corollary. Joukowski. Generalised function. Commutative ring. Velocity field. Disjoint. Composition. Supremum. Norm. Vector space. Hilbert space. Complex. Rational. Continued fraction. Upper Riemann integral. Right coset. Index. Modulus.

[Dragonrider]

It was...like...60 yesterday here

And I'm willing to bet that I'm at least as far north as Chicago. Just livin' in a little banana belt, here.

[Player_Zero]

I know all of them.

Also, Zero, you missed the v in transverse, and dependent and independent are spelled like I just spelled them.

I also missed the 'r' out of inverse, but you didn't goon about that, did you?

And of course you know them. It's not a game of 'do you know them' it's a game of 'these are some maths words' -_-

[Kneenibble]

I dedicate this to the cheering of Player Zero.
*toots flute*

So I went,
And leant,
Where none but the doltish coltish wind
Nuzzled my hand for what it could find.
As it neighed,
I said,
"Don't touch me, sir! don't touch me, I say!
You'll tumble my strawberries into the hay."

So, in fun,
We rolled on the grass and began to run
Chasing that gaudy satyr the Sun;
Over the haycocks, away we ran
Crying, "Here be berries as sunburnt as Pan!"

[Reinholdt]

That's one of my favorite's! I love snow! *starts singing*

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

[UncleWolf]

Anyone else having trouble with the site being slow?

[Neko Toast]

Anyone else having trouble with the site being slow?

Yes. Very much so. I think the forum just pooped on itself.

[Player_Zero]

Anyone else having trouble with the site being slow?

Yes. Very much so.

I get a dedicated poem?

[RabbitHoleLost]

Anyone else having trouble with the site being slow?

I adore you muchly, Wolfy, but...Duh.

[Neko Toast]

*looks at her last post, then at Player_Zero's*

. . . That was odd. We said the same thing.

[Player_Zero]

Yes. Very much so.

Word for word ninja'd!

Conspiracy.

[TwoBitWriter]

*Listens to Reinholdt's song, hands Cristo the Shotgun Shells* Make it quick, bro...

[UncleWolf]

I adore you muchly, Wolfy, but...Duh.

Well, the internet connection where I am is notorious for being F... yeah, that.
Because of this, I always ask just in case it is just mine.

Looks to be back up now.

[CurlyKitGirl]

You know... I'm not sure that I have...

Curly? Have I freed us from the irresistable pull of the Random Banter Time Loop? Or has this sentence been repeated before?

After perusing all RB threads since the Event of the Creation of Jibbers I can say: yes, yes you have.

Announcement:
Dad just came upstairs bearing one blank sheet of A4 paper and a biro. He said, "Fill up this piece of paper with as many books and authors as you want for a Christmas list."
Glee was felt.
I can write perfectly legibly at Words' equivalent of size eight font; am doing double columns and can write on both sides of the paper. I estimate I can get a minimum of £2 000 (retail price) worth of books on this piece of paper.
I have one title down.
One.
One!
One!
How could I have forgotten the title or author of every book I've wanted since forever?!
I think I need help.
HALP!
My library is at stake peoples!

[Mr. Mud]

Okay, need a techie of the playground (or someone better than me with interwebz connects... that's anyone really) to make the "Connecting through WAN Mini port" popup box to go away... I guess the question really is, how do I stop a previously used internet connection? its a Broadband PPPoE connection... help .

(Yes, I've already been through the connection properties a thousand times... still nothing.)

@ CURLY: Or you could paste cut outs of 8pt font on the paper, whatever floats your boat fills your library .

[Cristo Meyers]

*tranqs Reinholdt, hangs him upside-down by the tail*

furball...

The site seems to slow everyday around the same time, sometimes it's bad like it was today, sometimes it isn't.

Curly needs books? Books I shall provide!

Jim Butcher: The Dresden Files - supernatural detective noir, love it, love it, love it

Nick Sagan: Idlewild, Edenborn, and Everfree - hard to describe, post-apocalyptic sci-fi with more emphasis on the "sci", I suppose...

Romance of the Three Kingdoms - but I already suggested that one way back when...

umm...

...crap, now I need books...

[UncleWolf]

...crap, now I need books...

*cracks fingers*
Watership Down -Robert Adams(I think)
The Horus Heresy (hard core sci-fi)
The Mote in God's Eye (The original space opera)-Larry Niven
The TrollSlayer series (fantasy)-William King and Nathan Long
A Princess of Mars-Edgar Rice Burroughs
The Elric Saga-Michael Moorcock

Need more?

Almost forgot Journey to the West (you'll want to google that one, if you do want a copy, I have a digital one)

[Cristo Meyers]

Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein

If you're going for Watership Down, grab a couple of Brian Jacques' Redwall series. The older ones are arguably the better ones.

The Last Herald-Mage Trilogy & The Mage Wars Trilogy - Mercedes Lackey

[Mr. Mud]

Terry Pratchett? Why has no one said Terry Pratchett? or has everyone already read every book to the letter ?

And guys, I need that tech help!
