OPEN BAR: It's actually about ethics in fictional bars

[Roly Poly Oly-Garch]

They're about to let Kim Davis out. I expect to hear the fireworks and hooting round these parts.

[LMNO]

On procedural grounds?  Really?

[The Wizard Joseph]

Someone managed to crack a barrel of industrial grade oxidizer today. The shit's got a truly terrifying MSDS profile and they're not even wearing respirators and have people still working on sorting in the area. Stupid fuckers.

[Freeky]

Damn.  Londoners went straight into bitching mode when the public transport went on strike for 2 days.

There's like 7 of the 35 lines running, but while I can wait two hours for the bus (as opposed to up to 30 minutes) to go bleed for great justice and profit, I can't get anywhere else I need to.  Tons of people have lost their jobs, I know a guy who works at an alternative high school and says since the strike happened right at the start of the school year (which means it has only been a month or so, actually.  Stupid time.) tons of his students got expelled and have to wait for next year to start, I know for a fact that certain places that offer mental health services do not currently have their bus lines running, so on and so forth.

I want my fucking life back.  And someone will probably now tell me that's a dick thing to say, and I will feel like an asshole, but it's still true.

[Freeky]

People are being dumb about it though.  Some people went around saying they were the bus rider's union, and to protest the strike (I think) they got on the buses and refused to pay.

Way to go, assholes.  Thanks for making things harder to resolve.

[Meunster]

Nihilism is like the terrorist wing of apathy.

[Don Coyote]

One of the many things I am grateful for joining the Army: it got out of California long enough to not want to move back. People in SoCal are fucking nuts. Something about deserts warps whitefolk.

[Doktor Howl]

Found a problem with the LO formatting.  I don't say "THE" problem, because there will be more.

But my frustration levels have decreased.

That's good news! What was the specific problem you found?

[The Wizard Joseph]

I have got the nastyvirus. Fever, cough, swollen lymph, sore throat, chills, muscle pain, faucet nose, all of it.

Getting a bit of writing done.  Was moved by "Not Dead Yet" rants and by that it's the only thing I can really do in my misery. Might be out for a couple days, that's how long it took the friends I believe I contracted it from to recover. Because I'm febrile I am contractually obligated to stay home at least until the fever breaks.

Somehow, two elipses got stuck in a smaller font, and wouldn't respond to control-A/font change.

I deleted them and restructured.

Is an elipse a form of punctuation?

Yeah,  it's this  --->  "..."

Well then! So "quotes" is referred to as an elipse. Never knew, thanks.

Not sure if it's the fever, but that kinda looks like an unimpressed skull face.
Like Death was saying "Meh."



I got some writing done on a distinctly Discordian idea I jotted down months ago.
I just set to writing a story rather than elaborating the idea. I'm almost done with it,  but have to try the sleep thing again. I call it Apocrypha Discordia. I'll open a thread and dump what I have so far. Hope you guys like it.
