I cannot for the  life of me understand why LMNO clarifying to RWHN that his question wasn't intended as a trap is even something anyone else is questioning. WTF.

LMNO's comment implied that other people were trying to "trap" RWHN, which seems like an absurd spin on the way debates occur on the internet and especially this message board.

It's a completely different medium with completely different expectations.

Begs the question, Net.  If you're the only one that felt it implied that, then maybe the error lies in your inference than his implication.

Nope. He came right out and said that, subsequently.

Right here:

If you put yourself in his shoes, that could sound suspiciously like some guy trying to corner him, or someone who was about to use specious arguments and figures that don't apply to the case at hand, trying to prove his ideas invalid; which has happened in this thread a few times.

That's fair.  I'm still incredulous as to how you can claim the tactic LMNO is talking about can't exist on the internet, though.

Begs the question.

OH MY SWEET MERCIFUL ZOMBIE CHRIST FIGURE! D... DID YOU... DID YOU USE THAT TERM CORRECTLY!? YOU ARE A GOD AMONG MEN, EOC! 

^ not sarcastic. possibly hyperbolic.

There's a wrong way to use it?  What the hell does that even look like?  Not disputing the god among men comment, though.

Never mind.

God damn it.



I'm going to bed.

Yeah, not quite getting that either.  His terminology wasn't exactly obscure.   

SPOILERS HO!  Probably not necessary at this point, but nonetheless.

They aren't too afraid of gore.  The shot after Bran's wolf tore out a dude's throat was pretty gruesome.

Showing Gregor killing an infant might be a bit far, though.  My guess is that his complete monster tendencies will be spoken about but not shown.  Speaking of which, is anyone else relieved about his character's current alluded-to state.  I mean, he might be an unstoppable giant Frankenclegane, but him being controlled as such would eliminate his more awful tendencies as being, well, an infant killer and rapist.

I must have missed that.  I recall him being mentioned, but not what was said.  I'm going to likely be re-watching these at least twice this week to catch anything I might have missed, or just forgotten.

He hasn't been mentioned yet in the show.  I was talking about the books past the comment about Bran's wolf.

Assemble you say? Let me see how the week goes. I think I'm available, but I need to check my busy-level and gas money fund after the con. Is the lesson morning or afternoon?

Afternoon.  I assume that's traditional, as the mornings would be to recover from the previous night of heavy drinking to forget that, yes, you spend your time curling.

Curling.

Moving briskly, on ice.

ME?

Who's gonna drive my ass to the hospital?  Seriously, I know for a fact Richter's seen me fall on my ass on ice and slide into oncoming traffic just trying to WALK, and I'd be surprised if Suu hasn't seen me take a fall at least once... and that's just this past winter...

Then you don't do it.

Well the oncoming traffic thing is no big deal.  Indoor rinks are not known for their congestion.

In Bridgewater the closest hospital is a state mental institution.  That's the best I can do.

SECOND SET OF BEADS SNATCHED AWAY FROM ME
BEAD GODS HAET ME

You should probably stop making enemies of gods.  Bead God was like the last one you had in your corner.

Fuck's sake, even Forlorn Jetty God hates you and that guy is happy to see everyone.

Sunday, then?

Richter, is that an affirmative?

Blight, get yourself and Villager there.  Leln, Luna, ASSEMBLE.

IT'S CURLING.

2nd episode - huge improvement in pacing.  Less rushed, more suspenseful.

If anyone thought what happened to Lady was bad they should probably just stop watching the series.  That's about as mild as it gets.

Well, Villager and I were talking about coming down for a day in about two weeks, since I forgot about this and was pretty not well off on Friday. I'll repost this bit in the Providence spags thread if you like.

Screw that.  Come for a curling lesson this weekend in Bridgewater.

...if the first lesson answers the question, "what the fuck is curling" I might take it under consideration.

Short notice!?  Fuck it, it's curling.

3 hour lesson in Bridgewater.  Fucking curling.

April 30th or May 1st from 2pm to 5pm.  CURLING, MOTHERFUCKERS.

$35.  Curling.  Three hours of it in Bridgewater.  CURLING.

Shit. I forgot about the curling lessons and someone let myself get coerced into hitting Boston Comic Con this coming weekend with the 501st. Fuck.

I'm only going for one day, though, because I can't stand that Anime Boston and BCC are always back to back.

The same lesson is on the 30th and the 1st, so if you're still down it doesn't matter much which.
