Amidus Drexel's Alliterative and Awe-Accentuating Anvil of Random Banter CLXXXVI

[Mutant Sheep]

If you like, or have heard of WoodenToaster's music on Youtube (brony music artist, very good), then you should listen to this piano cover of Rainbow Factory. It's very well done. *pokes Ele to listen to it*

I've always gotten the impression that you Troglanders celebrate Christmas Day. Of course, I suppose that depends on where in Amerikat you live. In fact, I hypotesise that the further north you live, the greater the likelyhood that you celebrate Eve rather than Day, as Christmas happens just a few days after the Winter solstice, and here up north, that means the day is short, dim and most likely grey, whereas the eve is long, dark and glorious, especially when you brighten it up with lots of candles and Christmas lights.

Well, as already has been pointed out, getting a grade above 100% sounds stupid (unless you had bonus points and thus broke the maximum), if that's not 100% of passing limit, but that doesn't really sound like such an achievement unless it was a really hard test...
...
Right, yeah, since I'm pretty sure that you didn't mean the second, well, that's quite well done, and certainly not something I'd managed to do that well, which means that a few great things can be said about your ability to learn.

And I'm not really a pious person, so you won't get much worship from me, but you can have a thumbs up and an acknowledging nod for work well done:
*thumbs up*
*acknowledging nod*


Also, I'd have something interesting to write to the rest of your post, but my mind says nope, so I guess I'll just have to settle for returning your hugs with a hug:
*bearhugs*

Trogland is such a melting pot, it's mainly based on the tradition of the country that had the most immigrants in one location back in the old days. So it varies, and then we forget why it was different in the first place.

Anyway, my family does it Christmas Eve, except for on the years we just do everything December 5th because my Dad's Dutch and no one was going to be in the same two countries on the actual day. (There was also the year my parents got a huge work project, and took six hours off for Christmas before returning to work...)

I'm not sure I follow you there. Also, the 'over a 100%' didn't apply just for the test, for the entire project. On the test I just scored full points.Anyway, I did a longer project subject than necessary, so my entire grade was multiplied by a thing, and that's why.

NOO! I want WORSHIPPERS!

Aww, can you tell me over IM? I like hearing your thinky things, specially if they're interesting, why 'nope?'

Oh, I forgot to say it yesterday, but I'm feeling much better now, soooo....


BOOOOOOGIES!

...and then I got cripplingly sick again

YOU WERE SICK?!?!

A fan one, Circular Gallifreyan.

I can try Gimme a while...

BOOYAH! THat's awesome, thanks! I look like a diseased Pacman/fish!

[LaZodiac]

Yes! And I am sick, currently.

[MoonCat]

Thanks Moony

Aside from being sick I'm doing great, so don't worry!

You know how it takes a lot of financial planning to set up a company?

I'm going to try and pull a all-nighter and do it in one night. Because my deadline is tomorrow.

Wish me luck, I will keep you updated. Which defintely is a good spendage of time.

There's a story behind this, I presume?

Luck!

Tell us how it goes when you aren't busy!

[Qwertystop]

Deadline for setting up a company? What?

Generally deadlines are when you're actually working for a company. Or it's homework.

Your imagetag is broken somehow. Not sure how.

Also, assuming that the spelling in the link is how you wrote it in? The letters U, X, and Y are in the alphabet. They're centered-vowel-circle-with-line-pointing-out, bisected-consonant-circle-with-two-dots, and bisected-consonant-circle-with-two-lines, respectively.

Good luck! What exactly is this company that you're setting up? I recall that when we met you said that you do some sort of work with cameras. Is it involving that?

Well, it IS a Java program.

Hey, my Java programs are tremendously more stable than my C programs, and those weren't really bad either.

I'm not sure I follow you there. Also, the 'over a 100%' didn't apply just for the test, for the entire project. On the test I just scored full points.Anyway, I did a longer project subject than necessary, so my entire grade was multiplied by a thing, and that's why.

Well, I kind of got a grasp on how your percent grades work, but I went off on a tangent and contemplated a hypothetical scenario where a >100% grade wouldn't be stupid, and it included the hypothetical idea that 100% would be 100% of a pass.

Also, that sort of makes sense.

NOO! I want WORSHIPPERS!

Well, I suppose an atheist/computationist isn't really the one you should turn to in that case. Unless you actually are a computer, which changes the situation somewhat. And opens up an opportunity for utter inability to avoid some really groan-worthy innuendo.

Aww, can you tell me over IM? I like hearing your thinky things, specially if they're interesting, why 'nope?'

Well, I thought I'd have something interesting to say, but I couldn't think of anything, hence nope. Also, I suppose I might've taken up on that offer and thought up something good, hadn't I've been eating dinner back at the time of your post, and then gone straight to playing Civ for 3 hours or so.

Now it's bedtime for me, so I suppose it'll have to be another time. After all, I lead a busy life, and I've got errands I need to run if I'm going to finish all my projects until Christmas. I almost feel like Pettson, building my own Mechanical Santa... Best. Children's. Book. Ever.

Generally deadlines are when you're actually working for a company. Or it's homework.

I'm setting up a mini-venture for my business class in college.
My two teammates had three weeks to do it but didn't understand it so didn't do it. In the first week our group leader said she'd go ask another group leader, ut apparently that didn't work out. After that I was sick for two weeks, so uh yeah.

I've found all the required files, caught back up with missing a couple of weeks worth of SMBC comics, I've started on a market trajectory and have compiled basic costs. And I have done a part of updating my portfolio.

Dragonprime: Actually, yes, it is. We're setting up a fotostudio with the purpose of giving beginning/starting professional models a good portfolio. This includes one or two fotoshoots, a making of video and putting that on a dvd(with dvd menu, ofcourse) with a focus being put towards guiding the models and letting them show who they are/what they can as a model for future employers. We also supply the visuals(clothing, make-up).

If that makes any sense.

I wouldn't mind being innuendo'd about if it involved Teddy-boy.

Think something now! I like hearing what other people have to say about things if I deem them to be capable thinky-talkers!

My complete and utter jerkwad of a roommate left me a nasty letter basically telling me to move out. I'm wondering if I can use the letter to have him charged with harassment. Would that get me moved out faster? I really don't want to spend another two weeks sleeping in the same room as this guy.

That sounds like material I would use to make the roommate move out instead of moving myself, but maybe that's just my vindictive streak talking.

Well, I would say that sucks, but you seem to be quite happy with the idea of being rid of this guy. I hope you can get another place easily. Do you know why he wants you gone?

Sounds like something I'd do.

If I could do that, that would be ideal. But I don't know if it would be worth the trouble.

Not sure. I try not to antagonize him, just avoid him as much possible. He knows I don't like him, so I imagine he's annoyed by my presence as well.

Well, it can be hard to like a guy who doesn't like you. And then they dislike you because you dislike them. AND THEN ENDLESS CYCLE OF ANGER.

Hey, anger is a good thing.

A little spite does go a long way, though.

[Blue Ghost]

I've always had a problem with anger and vindictiveness. Not easy for me to forgive. Maybe this is a chance for me to improve on that... But I need to get out of here first.

Damn that looks complicated. I won't be setting up a rival company to undercut your business then.

I've already listened to it. It wasn't that great.

How best to respond to this...
You know... I really can't be bothered to search through fifty-one pages of pictures to find the most adorable and/or awesome and/or creepy.

[DraPrime]

You also know a guy who knows how to effectively blow up things or apply electrical currents to living beings for fun and profit who could teach another guy how to use this tools to make a Rude Goldberg contraption which catapults and electrifies a person simultaneously.

Yes. Yes I do.
