*nods approvingly*Yeesh, over 500 posts? I'm not going back to read that, i pray I am not missing anything of import. Morning, all!Nah, nothing much, mostly 'Puffin and the Gark on a posting blitz. Also, we discussed Whedon's new show about a culinary gastronomist named Alton who fights vampires and demons and bicycles, then searches for encrypted symbology hidden in the code of Facebook.
*shakes head disapprovingly*
Yay, the computer lost my entire profile (including bookmarks). Go windows!
That was about 3 years' worth of random stuff I wrote. Some of it was backed up, but what with not having much memory space on here or the Linux computer (from dad's work), I lost a fair bit of stuff that I actually cared about (better part of a novel, random name generator, almost all of my schoolwork [well, I don't care so much about that], and several part-done adventures). I'm sure I'll think of more stuff that I lost later.
At least it didn't somehow wipe my email. (I don't use Outlook.)
Argh! That is harsh, man. I'm sorry to hear that.
good evening everyone

Another small consolation: Paizo remembered me (because it caches for accounts, not so much using cookies, I think)! It said "2 new" in the Bulmahnauts thread.

Pretty sure I'm still missing stuff, but I think I'm close enough to restored bookmarks for now. (One more thing: I had a s@*!load of videos and games (I couldn't play on this computer) bookmarked, but it was more like a healthy purgation there than the rest of stuff.)
Purgation isn't a word?
purging would be the word you're looking for.

Nope, not the word I'm looking for. Perfectly happy with making my own words here.

You sure it's not definition three?

Healthy bowels, healthy soul.
Shooting the tines is the Cheliaxian way of flipping someone off, which I believe was invented by Dave Gross, and I am desperately seeking info and visuals of the same.
Healthy bowels, healthy soul.
ah... I see. Still, I can't disagree with you.
Is it just me, or has Zombie gotten in a bad habit of talking with his mouth full of brains?
A line I can't hear enough times...
JAKE: That's just a rock. A low-level enemy.

Yeah, they touched on that during the "Future of Paizo Fiction" seminar. Dave Gross said he didn't have a particular favourite of all the interpretations floating around out there. I can't remember it perfectly, but someone said that they liked (one interpretation) because it reminded them of the old "read between the lines."

It's no match for a good blaster.
So, how many did you recognize?
Good ol' Vera.
(I had seen the shows/movies for about four of those. Though I don't know why Hellboy is in there . . .)

The first Google hit for searching the bolded text.
Edit: fixed link.
Today's lunch experiment: toasted Cotswald cheese with onion and chives sandwich.

I guess b/c of the Rock Wraith? Sounds like a kind of dumb monster.

Alright, you guys, get out there and vote. And don't forget A Canticle for Liebowitz like I did. Best SF book ever.
So much cheese.
I declare it a success.

It's on my list, but I've yet to read it.

I thought Taig wrote he beheaded people at PaizoCon. That's pretty close to befriended.
I learned from Barney that beheading is befriending.
It's on my list, but I've yet to read it.
O_o!!!!!!!!!!
What have you been doing while laid up? There is nothing better you can do while prone than reading Canticle. Nothing. At all.
EDIT: Don't read any reviews or Cliff's Notes, either. Just read the book and enjoy. No spoilers. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Never heard of it.
And NPR is taking a while to send me that confirmation email. I remember last time I tried to register to talk ABOUT YOUNG'UNS they told me I was too young (have to be 18) and I sent them a pissed-off email.
It's on my list, but I've yet to read it.O_o!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, I've read a TON. I'll pick up a copy of Canticle when it shows up on the dollar clearance shelf.

*dies*
I'd send you my copy, but it's one of my most precious possessions. You might consider coughing up as much as a buck-fifty for it, you know. :PEDIT: Canticle is right up your alley in so many ways. I'm dying to know your opinion of it.

I find it funny that in the lead-in for the rules they mention Earthsea, which a) I read as a child, b) I thought was YA, and c) LeGuin seems to think was YA. And then one of the rules was "no YA." I suppose Catching Fire wouldn't qualify, by their rules?

This old man, he played nun.
He played shoot nun with your gun,With a knick-knack paddy-wack give a dog her bones,
This old man comes rolling home.
(Barney totally pirated this song. How do I know? Prescience.)

You know what NPR? I DON'T CARE. You fired Emily Harris. She was cool. And you stole Coldplay music for Here and Now. And you got rid of World Have Your Say.
(See what I'm doing here is equating NPR with my local station.)
Maybe they're not letting me register because I gave them my email last time and said I wasn't 18 and they are trying to keep people from telling the truth at first and then lying just to get on. But probably not (it's just for legality).
