cuuuuuuuuuute

[annasimone]

Noooooooooooooo Pat, come back online! I'm here!

[annasimone]

The weather here is just so crazy and gorgeous these days, Pat you have something to look forward to! So much snow, so much ice, a bit too much wind, but really a phenomenal winter here!

Hows the winter over there in the glove?

[The Sub-Creator]

You all suck . . .

I've been cooped up in this bloody place for seven hours without any indication that there's an outside world, and no one has posted a darned thing this whole day! What's this all about? I've still got five hours to go here, people!

Somebody put something of interest up, please! Do it quickly, before I fade away into nothingness that cannot be retrieved! I don't want to 'cease to be!' I don't want to become just another statistic!

Ugh!

[Penelope]

Were you planning on using some of these in the near future?

[Penelope]

Were you planning on using some of these in the near future?

Well, maybe at some point when Darya is more intimidating. I think I've realized why my characters aren't NEARLY as cool when I'm playing them as they are in my head. It's because I'M PLAYING THEM!

These are a few of my favorite of those pally quotes!

1. Ahhh c'mon guys, its not so bad ... Its just the Abyss
2. Save your diseases for the less righteous."
3. Hey, foul villains! Knock off all that evil!!
4. The first step in making friends is *not to eat people*.
5. Bash this, slice that, castrate whatever. How come I don't get to any of the fun stuff?"
6. (talking to his sword) "Here's the goblin I promised you."
7. After defeating but not dispatching..."Remember, no matter where you go, or how powerful you become, there will always be someone out there mightier than you. And that someone is me."
8. You demons are all alike... blah, blah, blah."
9. Surrender now or face me! ..no, no... Give up now and I mean it! ..no ..You still have a chance to surr (finishes his charge and attacks), oh, never mind.

I think Matt should use this one for his paladin in the next campaign! ^_^

(If fighting some beautiful enemy) Back foul temptress! Even though thine image dost set my loins afire, I shall not be deterred from my task!

I would laugh...

yeah, what she said...

[Colin Marcus]

I thing Matt should use this one for his paladin in the next campaign! ^_^

(If fighting some beautiful enemy) Back foul temptress! Even though thine image dost set my loins afire, I shall not be deterred from my task!

I would laugh...

So would I!

I believe I would be physically incapable of saying that with a straight face

But yeah... That was one of my favorites!!!

Couple other I like

(talking to his sword) "Here's the goblin I promised you."

EVERY day is judgement day!

Let me convince you of the error of your ways.

[TRU]

I am convinced that those quotes are not strictly for the paladin's usage. I happen to know of one very small thief who would use one of those quotes quite often!!

20. (talking to her sword) "Here's the goblin I promised you."

yes, that is most definitely a Gwilly quote!!!

so sorry some of us were sleeping all day because they are SICK again... though I can't blame you this time, Pat.

Here is something of interest! Carrie learned how to wipe her own nose today because she was copying me. LOL! Sickness ftw!

[annasimone]

Oh noes! Pat, why you so couped up? Where you stuck?

Edit: 1.5 day til I get to give you a new hug!

Yeahhhhhh...I think I might be able to pull off that one. Heheh...it's like a reformed and holy roller version of Kayin!

[Wynnsaren]

[TRU]

yes, yes, that is a good one!

[annasimone]

Hahaha that was a GREAT way to start the day! Thanks *EDIT* Darya!

[TRU]

don't thank me, thank Darya! I just quoted it.

[annasimone]

Anyone know if Pat got to the airport? I haven't heard anything today so I'm hoping he remembered lol

[WoTmaster]

Anyone know if Pat got to the airport? I haven't heard anything today so I'm hoping he remembered lol

I don't know and haven't heard... of course I've been at work all day and still am... but I REALLY don't think he'd forget about you!!!

[Penelope]

Anyone know if Pat got to the airport? I haven't heard anything today so I'm hoping he remembered lol

I dropped him off this morning, so I can verify that he AT LEAST got to the airport!

[annasimone]

Aaaah excellent! And thank you Ashara, you're a star!

AND: Bored tonight! Which is great, since that means its 02.43 am and I can sleep in long tomorrow

[annasimone]

Our metric system is fine!

[TRU]

ok, I found this on facebook and thought it to be quite amusing!

English Assignment


Here's a prime example of "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus offered by an English professor from the University of Colorado for an actual class assignment:

The professor told his class one day: "Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right.

As homework tonight, one of you will write the first
paragraph of a short story. You will e-mail your partner
that paragraph and send another copy to me. The partner will
read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to
the story and send it back, also sending another copy to me.
The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on
back-and-forth.

Remember to re-read what has been written
each time in order to keep the story coherent.
There is to be absolutely NO talking outside of the e-mails and
anything you wish to say must be written in the e-mail. The story
is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached."

The following was actually turned in by two of his
English students:

THE STORY:

(first paragraph by Rebecca)

At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted.
The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy
evening at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once
said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt
she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His
possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about
him too much her asthma started acting up again. So
chamomile was out of the question.

(second paragraph by Bill )

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over
Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the
neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with
whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago.
"A..S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator.
" Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off
a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a
hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him
flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

(Rebecca)

He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one
last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had
ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped
its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of
Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing
War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one
morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her.
She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth, when the days
passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspaper to read,
no television to distract her from her sense of innocent
wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why
must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?"
she pondered wistfully.

( Bill )

Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles
above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of
its lithium fusion missiles. The dimwitted wimpy peaceniks
who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace disarmament Treaty
through the congress had left Earth a defenseless target for
the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the
human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty
the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying
enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one
to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan.
The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere
unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine
headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam , felt the
inconceivably massive explosion, which vaporized poor, stupid Laurie.

(Rebecca)

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature.
My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic semi-literate adolescent.

( Bill )

Yeah? Well, my writing partner is a
self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing
are the literary equivalent of Valium. " Oh, shall I have
chamomile tea? Or shall I have some other sort of F--KING TEA???
Oh no, what am I to do? I'm such an air headed F--KING
bimbo who reads too many Danielle Steele novels!"

(Rebecca)

A$$h@le.

( Bill )

B*tch!

(Rebecca)

F*** YOU - YOU
NEANDERTHAL!!

( Bill )

In your dreams, Ho. Go drink some
tea.



(TEACHER)

A+ - I really liked this
one.

[annasimone]

That was a hilarious read. Babysitting, and slightly bored even though I love the little ones!

[Penelope]

*gasp*

She lives!!
