Nope, for one thing I still have no fucking clue how you got from A to B on this one.

I love that its now advanced to the point that asking for an explanation is useless pedantry though.

The point isn't about being right or wrong here, Requia.  It's that, while Roger's use of attempted murder may not be the legally exact definition that would suit a real life case like this, the term was still sufficient to get his point across in a conversational manner.  Especially given he'd used the correct terminology earlier in the very same topic.

Cinnamon Rolls.  With bacon. 

The bacon crumbled and rolled INTO the cinnamon rolls.

I wonder if candied bacon would be in order here, or if the sweetness of the roll would already do that job.  Either way that sounds phenomenal.

Requia, do you find your pedantry inhibits you from casual conversations?

"Hello, good morning!"

"Good is a subjective term, and experts have found in recent studies that qualifications for something being good differ highly between cultures and socioeconomic statuses!  Oh, and did you ever find it weird that anything before noon is morning, yet anything afternoon could be afternoon, evening, or night, all distinctly separate?"

"Well...uh.  Mighty fine weather we're having!"

"I'm confused about your use of mighty.  This is a clear, sunny day.  There's nothing mighty about a calm sky and seasonal warmth.  What makes it fine, also, I mean, if every day was like this then eventually none would be, as all the plants would lack essential rain water to live!  I'm not sure what you mean by 'we're having' after all, how are we having this day.  The day is just happening and we are living through it, how does that make us having it any more than one has music by giving it a listen?"

"I don't, okay, so how is your family doing?"

"Family is being constantly redefined in modern social sciences to reflect the changing landscape of our daily lives!  Whereas fifty years ago a family was a husband, a wife, and two point five children (a myth that is being debunked through rigorous sociological testing) it currently can include a number of gender identities as well as non traditional members."

[I also forgot to do my wiz.]

Do these rules apply for the decrepit fella's?

I once saw an old dude with...all his trouser layers round by his ankles at a urinal.

I will never forget those wrinkly cheeks.

That's understandable.  It's usually pretty difficult when you're rocking a hard on.

Play a loop of the scooby doo gang running down a recurring background.

For the entire night.

If you're going for bad latin, you need a bunch of people named convincing bad latin, then one guy named Venti Latte.

I volunteer myself.

...Do you want to join us?  

I honestly have no idea what that would entail.  Pretend I've never been to a con, done proper costuming, know what the date today is, and just spent the better part of ten grand on a car.  So...maybe?

ETA:  Is there beer?

...You DO know who you'd be rooming with, right?

Is there beer...Christ. Bukowski is across the street. Not to mention we do a fair share of stocking up as well.


It's an anime con. It's juvenile and easy to troll. We can only drink in our rooms because of this (Got busted last year on the floor with bourbon. ) but flasks happen.

$50 at the door I think for a 3 day pass.
$76 gets you space in our room for 2 nights at the main hotel.

Okay yeah I totally can't swing that right now.  I appreciate the invite though.  Some other time, I'd like to tag along and see what it's all about.  It's something I've never done, and therefore seems like something I should do.

Thanks Suu!

Oh, and you get to witness me being a really real™ industry professional, of course.

Ahaha

That is really lovely.

And it only took . . . what, seven hours?

I bet those chicks were irritated.

We're a state agency.  Frankly, I'm amazed it got done at all.

It was a male chicken.  It was black.  It was actually harassing people outside the women's facility.

I was only actually there for the tail end of it all, but sweet christ that's just too good to pass up.

4/14/11  0846 Captain ***** reports there is a rooster walking around the women's center.  K9 was notified.

4/14/11  1227 K9 Lietenant ****** reports the rooster is back and near the women's center entrance.  Sallyport was notified.  K9 is attempting to contact animal control.

4/14/11  1542 K9 Officer ***** reports animal control is on scene.

4/14/11  1547 K9 Officer ***** reports animal control has the rooster captured.  K9 and animal control are clear of that scene.

I think everyone is a snob when it comes to certain things.  I mean, it's a side effect of having distinct tastes about anything at all.  Snobbery goes in both directions, though, and an avowed Bud drinker that thinks higher brow beers are for pussies is just as much a snob as the high brow beer drinker.  I wrote something about that not long ago, actually.

My friends always tease me about having snobby tastes, but it's very infrequent that anyone is actually offended by it to my knowledge.

I'm sure I could keep going.  I'm not certain what to do with The Hessian, but then I wasn't certain what to do with Hayes and Sams either and those turned out okay.  For some reason in this project, I'm actually way less confident in prose than I am in dialogue.

On a serious note, I've always thought devising some hackneyed rules for manhood qualifies as one of the least manly things it's possible to do.  All they ever say to me are that guys are coming up with excuses as to why they're so manly, when really the manliest thing would be to just say "I'm a man, therefore whatever I do is something that a man does."
