Well someone had to make it up, last I knew words didn't just float out of space like Flumphs, or did they? Perhaps we're all just cogs in a grand alien propaganda campaign...

That's the great thing about made up words, everyone is right:-D

Technically Qlippoth isn't a made up word...

Unfortunately it doesn't provide English phonetics and the different transliterated spellings could indicate different acceptable non-Hebrew pronunciations.

Did it for you =)

The word's literal translation is 'Husk' or 'Peel' or 'Shed Skin', so it was probably at least in some part a normal part of language that was co-opted for use in this metaphorical/religious context. In that sense, it's as "made up" as any word in any language - by which I mean since we still only have immensely fragmentary knowledge of how languages originally developed (barring religious or mythological sources such as the Tower of Babel story, etc.), it doesn't tend to fall under the umbrella of what we usually mean by "made up words". =)

Working 8 hours today, at least I get off at 6, had to be the muscle for the free Lego building event, which means I stand there looking like a bad ass with my arms folded as all the kids heckle me, but at least I don't have to wear the giraffe get up.

It really is boring walking a Beagle, you walk 10 feet, brain sniff spot for 5 minutes, walk 10 feet, brain sniff another spot, and so on, if I'm lucky we'll sniff a raccoon (because it's night) that has already doubled back and is following and laughing at us.

But I doubt it.

I should warn you though, it won't get better, after it gets worse.

But I doubt it.

You know you can train that out of him. Whether he poops or not, always make the walk the same amount of time. Always give him like one minute to sniff a given spot. He does it because he can. It isn't easy, and it takes a while, but after a year or so my dog learned the drill...if that door is open you have t-minus two minutes to mark a tree or two and drop a deuce, and if you don't, you aren't getting another chance for several hours.

Eventually it got to where I could open the door, he'd run out, do his thing, and run back in full speed on his own in under two minutes. (Because I also used to race him home after he squatted, because he loved to run, so it encourages him to do so faster.)

*sigh* I miss that dog. He died a few years ago. Lived like 16 years.

Good job on the Archer alias, i'd actually been stuck on what his title should be for quite some time:-)

Beagles are actually master manipulators that rival any Cat.

WWZ isn't the book by far, but it's legitimately the scariest thing I saw in theaters in at least a decade.

Never saw Blair Witch.

I don't actually like scary movies, by the way, but I still enjoyed WWZ despite that. I actually liked it better than the book. The scene in Jerusalem with the wall about had me drop a deuce in my seat. You'll see...

I for one am absolutely peeved that you, Captain Yesderday, have robbed me of my rightful credit.

Way back on August 11, I suggested a thread called " >>Ask *Captain Yesterday* to make aliases based on ALL your questions here!<<"
You said you didn't like the idea, since you only make aliases spontaneously, so I didn't make the thread.

Then, a whole four days later, thegreenteagamer made just the thread I had previously suggested, in spite of your rejection of my idea.

In the OP of THIS thread, though, you say

Moreover, I had the courtesy not to make the thread you said you didn't want, while TGTG had no such courtesy. Therefore, I deserve way, way more credit than TGTG!

I went with World War Z, a really good movie, thanks!

I don't really get scared by movies, except one.

I used to be a big fan of horror movies (and books and t.v. but my interest waned as the gore multiplied), i like the older stuff, which is hilarious because otherwise i do not care as much for older movies.

Nowadays i'm definitely a comedy aficionado, but i still have a weakness for gritty drama (i watched the entire run of Sons of Anarchy this summer, it loses steam after the third or forth season and just kind of goes around until the last episode, which i liked) or a mystery (FARGO! everyone must watch Fargo!!!) but mostly i like to laugh and that's my main stress reliever when i have a not as good day.

A wise old hippy i used to work with told me once "Every day is a good day, it's just some are better then others" he once had an I-Beam hit him in the head and spent three years relearning everything and you wouldn't be able to tell, so he knew what he was saying:-D a great man he is, i learned a lot from him.

Very true! so sorry, i remembered that after it was too late, i mostly called out an apology to Thegreenjacketgamer because i was kind of a jerk when he did do his.

But yes i should've included you as well, my apologies, i'm no James Jacobs at this:-)

I like our dog just the way he is.

He's cartoonishly inept at chasing animals

He's been trained since we got him to track either of our kids, and has done so successfully up to 1.5 miles (walk Pea Bear to school in the morning, have him track her scent later, not always the same route)

And he's recklessly loyal, he once chased an intruder 3 blocks and up a tree, it was a drunk chick who had the wrong house (one of the perks of living on the edges of a large University:-D), still a good job.

He's the most disciplined beggar you'll ever find, just sits there and expands his eyes and sucks in his gut, never pushy, doesn't grab your food if you turn your head or leave the room for a few seconds, he'll put a paw on the table sadly or stand on his back legs or other similar tricks, a real pro's pro. :-D

When is Tammy going to kill all of the other aliases and raise them as undead? (Notice I didn't ask if it was going to happen, simply when. You don't question if sunrise is going to happen, you simply ask when. Such is the way with an inevitable force of nature.)

I see Redbulljackandcokegamer as a ghost, attached to sheet cake, and only able to go to rooms where it is taken. The Clumsy Paladin, naturally, will end up a graveknight.

Holy crap, you have six aliases just for mocking me. That's dedication!

Anyway, noticing that causing a massive distraction aside, who will end up her inevitable vampire consort?
