Sounds more like some sort of sect recruiter or other kind of quack.Well, today, I utterly dumbfounded a psychology major who wouldn't leave me alone while I was shopping.
He kept going on and on about identity and things like that. I sparked his interest because I was looking at a magazine of celeb scandals (and succeeding at not laughing at how ridiculous it is) and the kid apparently had nothing better to do. Looked to be about 19.
He kept going on for a bit about finding a unique identity vs. trying to mold to an identity and how he could give proper advice on finding one's own identity. Kept mentioning a few psychological theories. Finally, I got fed up.
This is what I said that dumbfounded him:
"What am I? Who am I now? Am I even still human? If you can answer those questions, right now, I'll listen to your ceaseless, senseless blathering for as long as you wish to speak. You have ten seconds to start answering."
Unsurprisingly, he had no answers. I got a discount for finally getting him to shut up.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo nekkid snow pettiness!!
Also it is snowing here four go eight inches. More snow tomorrow overnight.

Wait a minute - what about after the bomb or tmnt and other strangeness?

To be honest, the salsa had achieved sentience and was asking us to pay up on our Super Bowl bet, so I threw it away.

*ahem* I believe I can scare up closer to the latter if I'm nekkid. Moreso, in some cases.
Even in the snow?

I knew someone once who thought a snow bank the sublime location for carnal activities. Were she to beckon to me from a snowdrift I think I would be suitably excited to exceed expectations.

The real question is: Can Germans say "squirrel".There's only one way to test that.
Can you flutterwacken?
why, yes. of course we can, there is no th in squirrel,
no th no problems :-)

Morning all. Hope you all have a good day on this ... *looks outside* ... wet auld day. Currently coasting at a comfortable 5 degrees, and a blissfully slow day at work to catch up with all the postings.
Don't know anything about this Peyton Manning fellow, or why being a Chief would be a bad thing. Gonna guess it's all about that big game ye had there over the weekend?
hmmmmm, question sounds like you are non-american as well (German here)
could you be another Euro-FawtL ? South of the Alps and west of the Rhine is still unrepresented in FaWtL-Land
I believe he's from Ireland, which is further west of my England.

Indeed I am, the windy west of the Emerald Isles, reporting in, and a fair auld day to you, my Euro-brethren.
A fair day to everyone, at that. Mine own ain't going too darn bad atm, work is progressing smoothly, though I am still envious of all this snow you Americans are going on about. Probably wouldn't be if I had as much as ye do, but I don't, so I am. :P

Craigslist says there are some reasonably-priced apartments and/or rental homes in the surrounding area, especially if I'm willing to up my morning commute to ~20-30 minutes longer than normal. It might be time to make strides toward moving out.

The trick is finding out if the places are okay with pets. One of the first things I'll want to do when I'm on my own is get a dog.
Huzzah!

Well so long as they don't think you are crazy :PNo, they don't think I have an invisible family. But all that's not my doing. Wife has been pretty much playing hermit since we moved here.And, the neighbors, Ronnie and Melissa, finally got to meet my wife and kids. Only took about 6 months.So they don't think you are a crazy person with invisible wife and kids anymore?
I think you mean, that is is well as long as they don't know AZ is crazy :P

I am more and more tempted to write a setting where powerful uplifting magics were unleashed in the past creating dozens of animalistic humanoid races beyond the regular races. Say "enough" to overly-humanocentric settings!
I wrote a short story based on a similar premise, but it was set in the "near future" (next Sunday, AD) and resulted from an experiment with animal communication that went awry.

Snows coming down so hard I'm watching the battle of hoth on my lunch break.
How could you watch the battle and not be in it? Are you hiding in a tauntaun husk peeking from the sidelines?
Hope you have a mount to sleep inside.

Go raibh míle maith agat. :) Never been to Clare, but I got friends down in Cark. A lovely part of the country, if memory serves. Though prone to flooding. In the current weather though, where isn't?
West of Sweden here. (I promise not to come raiding anytime soon.)
Ah, we'll have the whole of Europe represented before too long at this rate. :D Hello to you. :) Rest assured, some politicians were here just before you arrived, and there's certainly nothing left to raid. :P
Just got an email confirming I didn't get the job I applied for. Ah. Next time.
Sorry to hear that, better luck with the next one. *fingers crossed*
Sorry to hear you didn't get the job, Freehold.

It's just Icelandic that still uses it - the sound has disappeared from Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and (probably) Älvdalsmål.
So if there's some minor difference, I'm not entirely sure.
Bugger. Turns out that Älvdalish does in fact still use the 'ð' sound and letter.
Good luck with the job hunt Freehold.
*grumble-grumble* How can one sensibly write anything if opening Google Drive, two files on Google Drive, Blogger, a post on blogger, three pages of PRD and two or three pages of Paizo forum freezes the computer?!

Thanks guys. It's a bit of a disappointment, as I would have been akin to a school counselor, which would have been cool. Still, there are other jobs. My destiny lies elsewhere.
