Dragonprime's Dynamically Dangerous Dextrous and Destructive Random Banter #118

[Recaiden]

Not so much that from me.

It's more a phobia of talking to the people on the other end. What will I say? How to fill the awkward silences that ensue when I can't think of anything to say? At what point will they determine that I'm no longer worth talking to and come up with some flimsy excuse to hang up?

That's what the people on the other end probably feel.

@Crimsy: we're here to banter, not to random!

we're here to banter, not to random!

Aw man! And I wanted to sing the Doom song!

I sing anyways. Doomdoomdooom doom DOOM! DOOM doom doom!

[Pyrian]

It's time for a Green Revolution - or should I say Green Dragon Revolution.

I keep trying to bring them back, but they're so hard to keep properly fed!

[Lord Blace]

Yay! Had today off of work! Have tomorrow off of work!
Need to fill up 120 gig zune.
And play Dead Space.
And get ring tones for my LG Vu...

[DraPrime]

So I started reading The Divine Comedy a few hours ago. I'm still on the Inferno, and it is quite freaky/intersting stuff. Dante certainley had talent for depicting agony, as did the man translating the work. And Virgil is totally awesome for defeating Cerebrus using fistfuls of dirt.

[Phase]

Phase's stress level will soon reach critical...
Things piling, tests forthcoming, graah!

...

Think of the positives, Old Bean! You still have your health!

...

Who am I talking to?

...

OH GODS OH GODS SENTENCE ENDING WITH A PROPOSITION WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!?!

[Dragonrider]

Edit: DeeRee, I don't mind, because all I really want is a rock to wind a piece of string around. I might not be a doctor, but if I were a carpenter, I'd collect the seven dollars and I'd buy a big prosthetic forehead and wear it on my real head.

...Looks real good on you. You know, there's a restaurant we should check out where the other nightmare people like to go - I mean, nice people! Baby, wait! I didn't mean to say nightmare!


Edit: Phase: Has my preposition angst caught on, or were you like that already?

[DraPrime]

Preposition angst? What are you talking about?

[Dragonrider]

Preposition angst? What are you talking about?

*slaps upside the head*

Yeah. You.

[DraPrime]

*slaps upside the head*

Yeah. You.

It's me that you are reffering to?

[Rutskarn]

Well, I got MY slightly off-topic, unfocused personal rant-page out of the way. How are your quotas, people of the forums?

[DraPrime]

I have found that it is quite a nice world that I am living in.

[Rutskarn]

Mumble mumble yeah it's pretty good mumble.

Mumble mumble nobody's telling DRAGONPRIME his mumble mumble self-promoting mumble.

Anyway, today was otherwise fine.

EDIT: Dang, I just realized that dragonprime's post had absolutely nothing to do with sarcastically rejecting mine.

I think I'm still a bit touchy.

So...how about those...Sports Team.

[Dragonrider]

Dragonprime, someday you will die and discover that the special hell also has room for those who misuse their prepositions.

[Rutskarn]

I don't know what kind of Hell that is.

Wait. Is "is" a preposition in that sentence?

Goldram it, I'm not grammatically schooled enough to mock grammaticians.

[DraPrime]

Dragonprime, someday you will die and discover that the special hell also has room for those who misuse their prepositions.

Why has no one told me this before?

Anyways, I gonna go to sleep. Goodnight, and may all your sentences end with prepositions.

[Dragonrider]

I don't know what kind of Hell that is.

Wait. Is "is" a preposition in that sentence?

Goldram it, I'm not grammatically schooled enough to mock grammaticians.

"Is" is not a preposition...unless I'm one of those wannabe-grammar people who doesn't know what she's talking about. But I believe I am right.

...

Have you seen Firefly?

"Our Mrs. Reynolds?"

Jokes aren't funny when they have to be explained.


Edit: Dragonprime: I'm feeling magnanimous, so...fare thee well!

[Rutskarn]

Yes they are.

[Dragonrider]

Yes they are.

The fact that he explained it was the joke.

I just explained that the fact that...so it shouldn't be...oh, never mind. It's still funny.

Its okay DR, I understood the joke. I use it all the time.

[Dragonrider]

Good night, all and sundry. 'tis late, 'tis late, and I...have absolutely nothing to do tomorrow.

[Pyrian]

Dragonprime, someday you will die and discover that the special hell also has room for those who misuse their prepositions.

If I'm going to the special hell, I want it to be by way of Christina Hendricks. Mmmm....

[Coidzor]

You have a point, Recaiden. However, I think you guys underestimate the degree to which I'm an antisocial scaredy-cat.

Need to work on that then. Don't want to become a shut in at University.

Take it from P_Z and myself. No Es Buena.

On a related note... what does one send for a birthday to someone on another continent? hm...

[Quincunx]

Something light which fits in a USPS flat envelope and only incurs the <$4 fee instead of the Global Priority >$10 envelope, if possible. International shipping fees sucketh verily. Or you could accept that you need to label the contents on the stupid Customs sticker anyway, realize that any element of surprise is shot, and just ask the recipient what she'd like to receive, provided she's still on speaking terms with you.

Ashtar: Doesn't that work well if you have the pool of people there to draw upon _before_ needing the favor? As far as I know, the target of Coidzor's affections lives in, so far as his social circle is concerned, the Here There Be Dragons bit of the map; I assumed she was the only one in the area.

[Ashtar]

Coidzor, the best is you find someone close (geographically) to the person and ask them to send something. That avoids all the hassle of international post! Also you get random strangers sending gifts to your friends on your behalf, how cool is that?

[Felixaar]

On a related note... what does one send for a birthday to someone on another continent? hm...

oooh, we'll need to hear more about the person in case for that one. A good idea is to send them things they can't get there - like, I would send people Tim Tams and Vegemite and Live Koalas, you'd probably send some American Candies and what not?

Also, which continent?

Also also, way to go Dragonprime, distract her from my terrible grammar...

Also also also, can anyone tell me what the plural of Felix would be? I was thinking Felixes, just cause it looks cool.

[Cristo Meyers]

Also also also, can anyone tell me what the plural of Felix would be? I was thinking Felixes, just cause it looks cool.

I always figured it'd be Felixi.

[Dallas-Dakota]

If it ended on i, wouldn't it be Felici then?

[Jack Squat]

It'd be Felices (pronounced fell-uh-seez).

Well, that's assuming it follows the conventions of pluralizing "helix"
