Farmer Felix's Fantastic FRandom FBanter #119 (may contain traces of fnuts)

[Recaiden]

I keep thinking we're talking about War of the Worlds here. I loved that radioplay.

Goooodbye, Thunderchild...

edit: and on that note, I'm off to bed! Good night everybody, live long and prosper!

Goodnight. I prefer the musical though. 'Cause it has songs.

[Groundhog]

What about the TV series? The live-action stage play? The audiobooks*?

*Yes, there are audiobooks as well as the radioplay.

Is there really a live-action stage play? Or is that just a joke? (Because if it's not, then I know what to convince the drama club at my school to perform this season.)

I think so, though I'm not sure where you could find it.

Time to take the thread totally off topic !

Family and I are going tothe Omaha Zoo later today... It's probably amongst the top 5 Zoo's in the world, and they truly have everything there... What should we see first ?

You should see the Gorillas/Apes/Monkeys, the Tigers/Lions/other big cats, the Elephants, the Hippos and the Rhinos. In that order.
Because they are the coolest animals. Unless it has wolves/birds of prey/dinosaurs. Then you should go see those animals as well.

There have been at least three different stage shows.

I don't mean to be offensive, but doesn't it bug you a little? I'm personally the "get up and go" type, and it's never to early to start "acheiveing".

But, hey, however people want to live their lives is fine with me, so long as they don't hurt, physically or emotionally, others in the process. And I know you're not the type to do that

Just wanna throw my hat into the ring as another non-risk-taker. I've never even pumped my own gas (though that probably has more to do with the fact that it's illegal to do so in the state in which I live than with any particular fear of gas pumps).

Just sayin'. I love travel, but I despise planning trips, and if I were left to my own devices, I would probably spend my life at home. Reading.

Go see the animals that don't sleep during the day.

Yes, it bugs me a little sometimes. But I doubt a five minute pep talk would fix me up, and I don't think seeing a shrink would be a good idea. Mainly because there's no way I could do it without my mother knowing, and I really don't want to put her under any kind of stress. I know she would worry a lot.

So the only person who can fix me is me.

We'll see how that goes.

If I can muster up the effort.

I guess I'm still holding on to my passive lifestyle in the rapidly fading hope that time will fix me, or college, but we'll just see how things turn out, I guess.

I think part of my problem is also that I have so many things that I want to do that I end up not knowing where to start.

I do travel a lot, though. I'm going to India and Laos this summer. And I'm going back to Thailand for a week to see some friends of mine there.

Traveling is one of the joys of my life. Perhaps because I can forget my own world and immerse myself completely in another.

And I'm rambling again.

If left to my own devices, I spend quite a bit of my life at home on the internet, and sometimes reading. Lately I try to do other stuff (Unfortunately I seem to have rather bad timing sometimes)

[randman22222]

Risk taking? I walk the middle line. I'll take some risks, avoid others. I tend to be a bit on the cautious side side, though. Not quite middle line. Just off-centre.

...Whut? For some reason, centre looks more correct than center.
What's happening to me?!

[Thufir]

You're learning to spell. Don't worry. It had to happen some time.

Playing Rutskarn in a campaign session today.

The bonus XP points for Artificer item creation are a lot like being given 15 dollars a day meals allowance on a business trip. You're either going to be dipping into your own cash or loading up on junk.

[Jack Squat]

I tend to think grey looks better than gray. dunno why, just less ugly. I also spell liter litre, but that's about as "correct" of spelling I use.

I still dunno why you guys like 'u's so much, does the key stick?

[Rutskarn]

I parse grey as being more bluish, while gray is more yellowish.

From what I can tell, this is a common phenomenon.

For synaesthetics, maybe?
I get no such thing from those words.

Dammit, Sneak! Stop being similar to myself in every aspect imaginable!

You too, Rutskarn. Be like someone else. I was here billions of years before you guys.

...sorry...

IMO, "grey" has a more noble and distinguished feel to it, while "gray" is just somewhat old, worn-down, and ratty.

For example...

Russian Blue: Grey

Eeyore: Gray

EDIT: Also, I just realized that I always think of "grey" as being light, like silver. "Gray" can be light, but while "gray" can also be dark, "grey" cannot.

If that makes sense.

Which it doesn't.

So grey is all noble and everything, while gray is just depressed and wishes to die?
Seriously, Eeyore is not happy, he dreams longingly of his death, he wants to die, it'd be a mercy killing.

That's...

That would be less truly disturbing without the small big grin there. The words "mercy killing" do not denote happiness...

[Recaiden]

I just prefer the word grey. Gray sounds like a last name, while grey sounds like a color. And I just think senter and theater are more correct, because of their phoneticness. Kind of hypocritical, given my name, but that is a name, so it gets a pass.

...I agree.

Also, despite my distinction between "grey" and "gray," I pretty much never use "grey."

I was joking. No one shall ever hurt Winnie the Pooh and his friends.
Except for that time at DisneyLand Paris where Jafar pushed Tigger off of the stage and had a fight with him.
Boxing's what Tiggers do best!
On the subjecy of grey and gray, I commonly use the word grey.

Subtly cool. Exactly what I was going for.

In all seriousness: thanks.

And...just for good measure...

If there is only one Tigger, then how can there be something that more than one Tigger can do best? As for the color gray, the spell checker says that grey is incorrect, but the old English spelling is more difficult to vandalize.

Tigger always believed that there were other Tiggers out there, which would be his family. Unfortunately, he never found them. This was unfortunate for him, yet very fortunate for everyone else. (for various reasons that you should just guess)

Grey just sounds right to me.
