Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
You don't see me much, do you? (Its too ANNOYING AND CATCHY. And the silly paradies/Oregon duck... so silllyyyyy )
Its just the meme-machine working out its Friday-muscles anyway. That is MY excuse, at least. And my excuses are often poor.

You can't parody a parody, which is what Gangnam Style is, so I haven't even bothered watching "parodies" of it.
The meme machine is a harsh mistress. You excuses aren't that poor though, I can understand not liking something because it's popular. I think that's fundamentally stupid, but I don't have any right to say your point is invalid (except in jest).
But hey, sulking's fun right

Hmm, I disagree. It is possible for things to become a bit overly cannibalistic, but parodying parody is certainly possible.
The meme machine is a harsh mistress. You excuses aren't that poor though, I can understand not liking something because it's popular. I think that's fundamentally stupid, but I don't have any right to say your point is invalid (except in jest).
There's the similar "exclusivity effect", too. Take classical music, for instance. Pretty much everyone is in agreement that Mozart and Beethoven are awesome. However, they're so awesome that their names have transcended their genre and are known universally. So if you ask someone who really knows what they're talking about who their favourite composer is, they'll almost never name either of those two, because there'd be nothing in that answer to give you an insight into their expertise.
At least M&B, though, are dead, so their material can't change. Those things which are still in production can, and unless they're particularly stubborn it's difficult to resist the call of many fans. So things which become popular tend to move towards the middle ground and lose a lot of what made them good in the first place. That's in addition to any quality the thing loses in having been around for a long time in the first place. Quite often a thing needs to have been around for some time and is already at its peak of quality when it becomes popular. Then the popular drive towards mediocrity becomes confused with an inevitable decline in quality anyway.
So, I think there is valid reason for disliking something "because it's popular", even if it's slightly more complex than it first appears.GITP Blood Bowl Manager Cup

Exactly, which is why I say I can't just dismiss his reasoning. Not only is everyone entitled to their own opinion, they may have a really good reason for their opinion.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
No, you can parody a parody, but if you try to parody a parody of a parody, then you start to get a bit niche. Eventually you wind up playing it completely and utterly straight though, IIRC.
That or you divide by zero.
You underestimate me, sir. Also I apparently hit send on that last night, passed out, went to work, and then it ended up getting sent while I was unfreezing my computer when I logged back in.
Well, it's cute when someone who is cute is doing it... for about maybe 12 seconds. Then it gets tedious again. And it's less cute than other cute things that a cute person could do. Like moonsneezes, I imagine, are cuter than moonsulks, just going by the laws of moonnature.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Phew, I'm back home again. I must say that my involuntary absence from here was starting to get a bit on my nerves. I don't like leaving loose threads behind me. And I haven't slept good either, despite the fact that I fixed both the brightness and the temperature problem, and I'm probably catching a cold. Way to wind down after a stressfull week...
Oh well, at least I'm back to my own bed and all my plushies again. That should hopefully alleviate the worst of the insomnia. :smallfeeblesmile:
These last two days were pretty eventless. We burned down a huge pile of branches and I admired some clouds. There probably happened some other stuff as well, but I'm a bit too tired to remember right now. I would've slept in the car hadn't I been physically incapable of doing such a thing. There just has to be some drawback to my love of eventless car rides, doesn't there...?Clouddreamer Teddy by me, high above the world, far beyond its matters...

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
Try installing flux on your computer. It dims the light and changes the color temperature when night falls. It makes the computer much more conducive to sleeping instead of staying up on the computer all night. There's a lot of good research behind it supposedly but I haven't read it so all I can tell you is that I really like it.
Many thanks to Ceika for my Avatar

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I mostly focus on the parts that don't fly past that fast, but yeah. The constantly changing landscape combined with the small sphere of reference (especially at night) is probably what makes it for me.
Also, I remembered some more. We dug up a few potatoes mum had planted in the garden, and two were red as rubies. Very pretty and very tasty. Then mum picked blackcurrant and cooked cordial (or whatever I should call a drink that's basically cooked fruit/berry juice and sugar. We call it "saft" in Swedish) from it. Deepest red and very very tasty!
EDIT:
Trust me, computers were the slightest of my problems up there. The room lacked enough curtains to keep out the morning light, which in turn woke me up all to early and prevented me from going back to sleep, so I had to craft makeshift cardboard curtains to block the windows with. And the whole house is quite old and poorly insulated, and the blanket was too thin, so I had to get myself a second blanket to keep myself warm. What still messed up my sleep, however, was the distinct lack of a certain pink toy hippo going by the (quite unimaginative) name Flodhäst.
Entirely coincidential, actually (I should have said "loose ends", but I confused it with the Swedish expression). I can't even bother myself with reading the last few pages of the last thread. Actually, I should probably wrap this up as soon as possible, get myself a warm shower and go to bed. I've got school tomorrow...Last edited by Teddy; 2012-09-30 at 04:49 PM.

You can parody a parody, and you can do it really well.

I must be tired. I didn't see this before. Deadpool is also a parody. They are using a parody to parody a parody.

Re: Mynxae's Maliciously Magnificent Random Banter #183
I'm not saying it makes it unawesome, I'm actually saying what you're saying, just more confusingly.
This little picture is why I, personaly, love Deadpool.
