I'm also all aboard the TeaTrain! Choo-choo~! (And I have no coffee, and I must REJOICE~!) EDIT: To choose a better alias!
WOO~! ... wait, are we discussing the pitcher, or the cup?
Oh, also... Sweet Tea!
Sweet tea.
There is no substitute for caffeine and sugar. Tell me about it!
You should always start with coffee. You're sick, man. *sips sweet tea* Sick. *sips more* You have a problem. *sips even more* Seek professional help. *guzzles some* Stop embarrassing yourself! *just starts plunging head into gallons*
tea wasn't strong enough. You LIE! I am strong enough! I am! I'll show you! I'll show you all! *proceeds to collapse under the weight of a 5 lb. bar*
What is your favorite things about this thread?
Hey: I got to axe you a question: have you ever enjoyed tea while watching Futurama?
But... but... but... then what would be argue about? I don't wanna go back to Paladins and alignment! You can't make me! Nooooo~!
I... I didn't think I was a chaperone with NH...
Have a parish bbq. Don't forget the sweet tea.
*casually ignores "FRIEND COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND" computer, other than to say:* "Lipton, Sweet: make it so." So, who here watches Isaac Arthur? I've never heard of him. What does he do? He creates YouTube content based on futurism and theoretical possible futures for humanity. It's actually really cool - he uses mostly modern/current scientific understanding (so, ignoring most "sci-fi" stuff) and projecting how, exactly, that leads to potential sci-fi-like future. So, for example, he explains the ideas on how to create Dyson Swarms, why you'd want to, and how we can start now-ish without much more than we've currently got (and with things we're pretty sure are possible, but just aren't certain if they're feasible). He is often accused of being overly optimistic, but I find it pretty great and extremely well-thought-out. Although I'd kind of absorbed several things a random "this video/that video" way, I've started over and am going through a seriously "progress by topic" style, by starting with FTL, then Habitable Planet, Mega Structures, Fermi Paradox, and Visions of Earth; I am about to start Dark Matter, Energy, and Flow, soon. I've seen a smattering of the videos throughout, but I find each one worth watching again, later, even if it requires multiple "sit downs" to get through a particular video.
I'm drinking Sweet Tea today! What are you up to?
Man, what a blowhard. Guy totally needs some sweet tea to relax.
Well, unless caffeine and sugar count as drugs, then yes, I enjoy copious amounts of tea, and I'm a notorious sweet tooth. I simply cannot understand that mindset and refuse to do so, quietly being judgmental and thinking less of you, now. >.> <.< *cough*
I haven't yet voted, and I was already sick of it several months ago...
This place can use this link to spice things up! EDIT: DANG IT. Are we under FaWtL rules, or...? (Either way, I'm totally dressed. Dang it.)
Wait... what's going on, here, again?
So... any tea lately? Any good veggie dishes? How're you doing after the storm?
... huh! I... kind of thought this was in FaWtL. That's what I get for posting on my phone! XD
Anyway: Taekwondo has a nes student! Who's an old student! Or at least about to hit middle age! And used to be a green belt years ago, but isn't now! Either way he's fat! He's me! Well that solved that. Somehow. I have no idea how, mind you. A single half cup of sweet tea and my everything is suddenly insta-regulated. I'm no longer dehydrated; I'm not panting/exhausted (and sugar highs are supposedly not a thing?); and I'm actually feeling healthier than I have all day. Did... did a childhood of Lipton somehow Nuka Break me, bro? That would be a weird super power to have. I'm trapped between disappointment, thrills, and mehness matching the mediocrity of it all. EDIT: Worth noting, this isn't even a case of, "No duh, liquid makes you not thirsty." as, you know, my first stop was a water fountain for water. I had as much as I could get. And, though I submit that the water was no longer cold, neither was the tea - I get my tea with no ice, and, given that it's brewed fresh, that makes it pretty warm (though this was slightly warmer than room temperature). So... nope. No clue.
If you could: would you? But also: if you would: could you?
Are you aware of the split timeline of 'Zelda, and its relationship to the concept of the multiple worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics?
So! TGTG! Question time... Which of:
Undead and templates so you can think about all the possible permutations and variants of each kind of each of them before making your final answer. And yes, the questions are that vague. Feel free to interpret what they're actually asking. We shall see how correct you are. Hehehehe... Also, Psychic or Psionic? Why? If the former, Paizo or Green Ronin? If the latter, Dream Scarred or Wizards? Either way: why? (I figure I already know the answer, here, and why, but I'm curious nonetheless how you're going to interpret the questions and why. And different contexts can yield different answers, or not, which, either way, is interesting, too, soooo... firing away!)
STG is an old school thread member, and a good guy, but the answers to every question he is asked are more or less "Sweet tea - more sugar, (*shudders*) Lipton" so you know, that'll be the answer to any questions he gives you ;-) In fairness, I will never, ever suggest Lipton pre-made anything. The stuff they produce for you is somehow inherently terri-bad in my tastes. Further, I don't do their "drop this in ice water and make sweet tea!" stuff - that never works. It's strictly their, "Do the hot water thing, put the tea bags in and let them steep, then stir sugar into the hot solution, then pour over ice." recipe that I use with them. That's it. None of their other stuff has ever been enjoyable. Arizona sweet tea for pre-made sweet tea and, at least locally, Chick-fil-A over Publix for fresh store-bought Sweet Tea (though other places have been different). Also, Olive Garden and Red Lobster have had good sweet tea around here. Used to be Wendy's and a few others, but those have unfortunately changed for the worse.
Green*. Grrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnn. Super-serious series of questions**: *
If you could have different super-powers, what would they be and why?
If, instead, you could be a gestalt of super heroes, who would you gestalt to be yourself? Why? Which comic universe would you run around in? Would you prefer to be in that one, or this one? On the other hand: BAM! You just gained levels in a Pathfinder class (or classes)! Which class(es) do you pick, and why? Incidentally, if you could spontaneously switch races, would you? And if so, to which? Similarly, you won the super-lottery, and gained mythic tiers! of 'em! (And you gain class levels to match; please feel free to change your previous answer if this does so for some reason.) What path do you take? (Alternate option: substitute a single tier for a simple mythic template.) Yet another query: you monster. Specifically, you CR: (or less) monster! Which are you?! ... and would this have been your first choice? If not, which would be? But the wheels of fate-time have spun again, and your everything has been transposed into that of someone else! You've just become a prepublished NPC from an official source! Which prepublished NPC is it? What campaign setting do you run around in? Why? As a final thing: blend any and/or all of the above questions into a single ginormous question: an optional blend of a prepublished NPC, monster, and some superheroes all walk into a bar... and out comes you, as a gestalt of those guys, the race you choose, some extra superpowers, and have extra class levels and mythic tiers on top! What are you?! (Other than "awesome" - naturally.) Equipment is a non-issue (like adjunct super-powers; what you need to do <X> is assumed). Also note that any significant others can be brought with you. "Official" and "Pre-published" are loose terms, but general expect something that has a solid publishing company and identifiable map/world/conceits behind it (like WotC for Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, etc; or Green Ronin for Blue Rose, but not "True20"; or Paizo for Golarion, or the Maelstrom, or the upcoming Starfinder; but not "the Bestiaries" or "the Planes" or things like that - basically things that people can find and nerd out about with you). Similarly, if it has a solid AP out for it, that, too, is acceptable (like Legendary Planet; or any of Paizo's APs). It should probably be a d20 variant, but it can be whatever you like of those many variants (True20, Blue Rose, Paizo, 3.5, 3rd; etc.). That said, if a Homebrew or otherwise "weak" entry just needs to be there due to compelling reasons... okay. Similarly other systems (as I know you're a convert to 5e, so if there's a 5e-explicit setting you prefer, let us know about that, instead). Let us know why! Computer and video game translations of such (Neverwinter Nights and/or expansions/sequels; PFO; etc) are acceptable as interpretations as well. Similarly, for comics, it needs to be superheroes that people can reasonably be expected to come across - "that one I made up with my cousin as a kid" is an awesome answer, and worth noting and why, but prrrrooooobabaly isn't the best choice, unless it's just so powerful that you've GOT to. In which case: sure, but bring us along for the ride! Related, the super need not come from one of the "big two" in comics, so long as the people and world is both recognizes me and accessible - choosing The Incredibles world is valid, as is Spawn (blech); you're not just limited to Marvel or DC. Similarly "standard" powers need not apply - so long as it is clearly communicable, it's fine (even if all the field specifics aren't clear, that's okay - knowing you're powered by our yellow star is fine; you don't need to know this, but it's acceptable if you do). Finally, presume you have the basics necessary for a happy life. Your spouse, best friend, and so on, can all be considered to "come with you" (should they choose to do so) wherever it is that you go. Oh, and one more thing: if you lived through a Legend of Zelda (as one of the Links); which would it be, and why? Thanks! Enjoy!
Oh, than: sweet tea. Like a boss.
Don't get hooked on my stuff. It's awesome, but your "worrisome health issues" is a troubling comment. Here's hoping they get resolved! (I need more time tgtg... mmmmoooooorrrreeeeee time.)
That succubus ain't lion*! *
Wait, no coffee?! Why did it take me this long to sign up!? EDIT: a more appropriate alias.
I'm ready for sweet tea.
I did indeed start it. I even suggested Gambitbear's name, and threw a fit when people didn't follow the pattern (Uppercase plan synonym, lowercase animal name, no spaces). This is assuredly my most anal retentive alias. Indeed, my friend. Indeed. :D
Oh, dear. I do seem to have most vigorously oversweetened my tea. Hurray! (Though if it's really too much, I recommend making more tea and blending the two; the amount of the second tea depends on "how" over-sweetened it is - whether a third to half as much as you've currently made - an oft-decent amount - to as much as you've currently made, if your tea is saturated; in any event, it shouldn't be more than that, because, unless you've sugar-or-other-product crystals literally falling out of your tea, you shouldn't be able to have that much. Hope that helps!)
Heresy! Betrayer!!
Many uses and permutations!
That... that is amazing.
So are currents, but it's still always kind of shocking.
5-out-of-5; would Favorite Again.
So I'm not sure that I've mentioned this before, and since this alias is supposed to be the sum of my rebelliousness and laziness incarnate on the forums (or whatever), I'm not going to go looking to see if I have: Sonny's' sweet tea. Daggum, son. DAG. GUM. It is... excellent. Also needlessly enormous. I love it. Now that I've done that, allow me to segue: Southern Pigs & Cattle Co. is a new restaurant that opened up nearby, and what else can I say, but, "It's kind of like Sonny's." The prices are comparable, the menu is comparable, and the style of food and preparation is comparable. Heck, since our local Sonny's makeover, the interiors are even comparable! That said, SP&CC is not exactly the same - I'd say they're about 10-30 cents more expensive on average*, while their portions are a tad smaller on the sandwich/meat dishes, and a tiny bit larger* on sides. Feels slightly less greasy, but I'm not definitely sure. They have free vanilla ice cream and cones you can have when you're done, or you can order pie (optionally comes with ice cream). One of the more pleasant differences is that SP&CC have is that their corn fritters come with (optionally): powdered sugar and ranch dip or honey - and that latter thing is not normally available at Sonny's, and it is an excellent addition. The flavors are slightly different - if you dislike Sonny's somehow, that doesn't guarantee that you'll dislike SP&CC - but they're similar enough that you can have a decent idea of what you're in for if you go there. Now, that said, the drinks are smaller. (See? Related to the thread. K'CHAOW~!) They are not small, but they are not the size of Sonny's stuff. So it's always a bit of a "huh" walking out of there with a cup that I can actually hold. As you may well be aware, that is both a good thing and a slightly disappointing thing. The sweet tea is exquisitely sweet, but not so much so that it starts to become uncomfortable or blech-y. It comes out warm, unless it's with ice. The water is tasty, and the Coca-Cola, at least, is solid, if you like fountain-sodas (I've not tried the rest of their drinks). But yeah, the sweet tea is great. Though the proportions given are smaller, they're endless refills, so it only makes a difference in the size of the cup you walk out of the store with - and that's probably healthier with the SP&CC sizes. * This is purely a guesstimate based on our time there, instead of a definitive analysis; some things are likely a tad higher or more, and some are likely a tad lower or less, but over-all, I think it's a hair more expensive for a hair less food.
Lipton is part of a group into sustainable practice, if you're into that sort of thing. :D
It's actually Chick-fil-A!
I have sweeeeeeet teeeeaaaaaa~!
I want sweet tea.
... an ancient enormous poem about an adventure?
Get Punped! Even if it sucks you might still have a blast! (That is almost always my advice.)
Just got here. My apologies Gtg, and especially to you, Beernorg. Life kinda crushed my internet time. That said, in my defense, I did say that I wouldn't necessarily be one you could or should count on... >.> sorry |
