The Throne of Thufir's Thoroughly Theoretical and Therapeutic Random Banter #116

[Kaelaroth]

Ya' know, I think we'd make a pretty cool crime-fighting/supervillaining duo.

Or an adorable Canadian gay couple.

[Rutskarn]

Ya' know, I think we'd make a pretty cool crime-fighting/supervillaining duo.

Hell, I can see that.

We'd definitely have to be detectives, though.

He's a rogue agent with a smart mouth and a highly-honed criminal mind.

He's pretty much exactly the same.

Together, they fight crime.

[Player_Zero]

He's pretty much exactly the same.

...If we have the same sense of humour then I must really love myself. I roffled exactly one copter on that.

[Fredthefighter]

Hell, I can see that.

That sounds really really cool.
Maybe I should become Popeye.
"Now ya get's a taste of me hurricane hook!"
THWACK!

[Lyesmith]

Ya' know, I think we'd make a pretty cool crime-fighting/supervillaining duo.

Either way is fine with me. Could alternate each maybe... Of course eventually we'd have to foil our own plans in order to save the world but then imprison ourselves in an easily escapeable situation with inept guards, etc. Could get confusing.

I would so watch that show.
Religiously.

[Rutskarn]

So. What kind of crimes do we investigate?

I'm thinking Call of Cthulhu.

[Player_Zero]

I was thinking Dangermouse...

"Arr, you be in the potty part, the potty part of the universe."

Pure class.

[Fredthefighter]

"Arr, you be in the potty part, the potty part of the universe."

Pure class.

How about a combination of Dangermouse and Hong Kong Fooey? That would be perfect in my book. Hong Kong Fooey may have been a bit of a clumsy oaf, but he's still cool.

Gotta go now people, seeya tomorrow/wednesday because I might not be here tomorrow.

[CurlyKitGirl]

My coursework doesn't involve the Euthyphro, just the Apology. Problem is, my head's kinda dead at the moment, resulting in lots of ARRRRRGHBLARGLE moments. Also, a building rage just doesn't help!



At least we may have a Pathfinder Eberron game starting up soon. Nothing quite as awesome as that.

. . .

YOU LUCKY GIT!!
We have to use the Euthyphro, the Apology and the Crito, we're highly advised to read the Phaedo and a lot of people have used other sources, mainly Clouds and that Xenophon source . . . Memorabilia or something.
I handed that CLassics coursework a few weeks ago (first draft) and I still haven't read the Crito.
What's your question?
We ha a choice of four and most people went with the easy: To what extent was Socrates guilty of the charges laid before him? one.
Though others did go for How far was Socrates a teacher? or To what extent is it possible to say Socrates was a Sophist? one. Noone went for the one involving how good a form of teaching the dialogues were.

Stupid pushy college making us read three when other do one.

[Alleine]

This is my prediction:
You will return to class at a later date. Your teacher will ominously say, "You have failed me for the last time." He will then proceed to strangle you. With his mind.

I think I can live with that.
Or die, rather. Since y'know, strangling and all.

[unstattedCommoner]

Hell, I can see that.

Bad cop and bad (in a different sense) cop?

Is Zero a gun-toting version of Charlie Epps?

[Player_Zero]

Bad cop and bad (in a different sense) cop?

Is Zero a gun-toting version of Charlie Epps?

I wish. Also, which one's the bad cop?

I would so watch that show.
Religiously.

For the ruggedly handsome main character, right?

[Quincunx]

Odd, that last question remaining untouched. What's to stop a prospective teacher hauling out far less impenetrable Socrates study guides to point out that, as a method of conveying information, the question-and-answer format was dreck! Ah well, pride is pride. Remind me of the ages of the class again? My college (sorry, university to you) restricted the course to third-year and up usually--that's twenty and up. I had to get special permission for taking it at eighteen, and if hadn't been only a month's course in between sessions, I would have not been able to tread water for the whole of it.

[Rutskarn]

I wish. Also, which one's the bad cop?

I'm guessing that would be you.

[Player_Zero]

I'm guessing that would be you.

But what about my boyish innocence?

Heh... I amuse me so.

[unstattedCommoner]

I'm guessing that would be you.

One is well-meaning but incompetent, and the other cuts corners and has no respect for suspect's rights, but gets the job done. The former's previous partner was paralysed from the waist down in a friendly-fire incident and now pushes paper at the precinct, and the latter's successfully stood for election as District Attorney.

[Phaedra]

I'd watch that show. I find PZ and Rutskarn's married-couple-esque bickering to be strangely relaxing.

[Rutskarn]

But what about my boyish innocence?

Heh... I amuse me so.

Yes, we are amusing.

I. I mean.

You.

You are. But you're not. Because...

Goddamn it!

[Coidzor]

I'd say you flipped the coin for it and P_Z would always complain when he had to be the good cop. Or maybe the loser of the coin toss would always grumble about having to be the good cop today. Possibly some sort of running gag ala Rosencrantz and Guildenstern with either a fair or trick coin always landing the same way and amazing the duo.

.
...

...Kaelaroth? Sex? On my internets? Not on my watch!

[Assassin89]

I'd watch that show. I find PZ and Rutskarn's married-couple-esque bickering to be strangely relaxing.

Strange, I though they were nemeses, not resembling a married couple.

[Player_Zero]

I'd watch that show. I find PZ and Rutskarn's married-couple-esque bickering to be strangely relaxing.

Just because we're married doesn't mean we're a couple.

[Rutskarn]

Nah, Zero's definitely the bad cop, but not necessarily an effective one. Reason being, he's not actively aggressive so much as passively, broodingly sinister.

"If you don't answer in the next 13.54 seconds, I might not be able to restrain my partner."

"Oh yeah? What's he gonna do?"

"...what are you going to do, Zero?"

"..."

"Zero, are you HOLYSONOFADOGBITTENFLEAMAGNATE, what the HELL did you just do to his kidneys! You have to threaten him first!"

"Sorry, hard for me to count and talk at the same time."

[Phaedra]

Strange, I though they were nemeses, not resembling a married couple.

The two categories aren't mutually exclusive, in my experience.

@Coidzor: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern! I knew PZ and Rutsy reminded me of something. That's been bugging me.

[Rutskarn]

Rutskarncrantz and Zerostern are (Un)Dead.

[Player_Zero]

I admit, accurately measuring time while talking would be hard, but I'm not sinister; I'm your good friend Zero, the loveable rascal. He makes jokes, he does tricks and you all have a good laugh.

I wouldn't worry too much about him smiling like that, that's just his way. Definitely more of a 'having a good time' kind of smile than a 'waitying for you to turn around' kind of smile. Definitely.

Anyhow, this loveable, and thoroughly charming, rascal needs sleep. So you'll all have to bate your breath until I return.

[Rutskarn]

I have the utmost faith that that statement is true, Zero.

Oh, hey, look! A quarter! How not suspicious. Allow me to bend over very slowly and pick it up. With my eyes closed.

[Lyesmith]

That reminds me of a joke I know.

[Phaedra]

That reminds me of a joke I know.

While I dread to think where any joke involving someone bending over and closing their eyes will go, do tell.

@PZ: Sleep well. My breath is well and truled bated.

[Calamity]

While I dread to think where any joke involving someone bending over and closing their eyes will go, do tell.

Are you honestly telling us you believe it's forum-friendly?

[Collin152]

Are you honestly telling us you believe it's forum-friendly?

I figured this was a calling of bluffs.
But I rolled a natural 20 on my Sense Motive check anyways.
