Oh and MX died and was reborn miraculously several times over.

I caught that.

Life is the best it's ever been, Happymeal. And I really mean that.

morrissey 10-24-2005 07:59 PM

If your motherboard hadn't been queer you would be admin by now, darling.

Glitterati 10-24-2005 08:00 PM

I think I'm just recovering from a cold. I have a really sore throat right now. My parents tease me by saying I'm doing my Tom Waits impression :upset:

Iai 10-24-2005 08:02 PM

I have a very sore throat, but that's purely from people smoking in my flat. I'm very sensitive to cigarette smoke.

Amanda = I know. :( This is the second time I've been offline during a wave of moddings. Someone hates me.

morrissey 10-24-2005 08:04 PM

Good good. Now that my highly successful campaign for Jason's modding is complete I shall find a new target.

Be warned I have a 100% success rate. B-)

Haha.

Anyone fancy aiding my laziness by telling me how to get that Latin letter that looks like an A leaning on an E?

Scott Herren 10-24-2005 08:31 PM

What do mods do? Are there duties or is it just a prestige thing?

My duty is to read posts that people delete to save themselves from embarassment and I occasionally sticky threads that really should be closed.

Has anyone ever swallowed a booger? It's extremely gross, yet I have a false sense of satisfaction when I feel the gooey lump slide down my throat.

Iai 10-24-2005 08:38 PM

Copy & paste. What a concept.

Lux Æterna was actually intended as a reference to Ligeti's wonderful piece of the same name, but then I found this Buckley picture and hey, a tenuous link.

We get to ban people for resisting our authority or something.

something vague 10-24-2005 08:40 PM

Girls don't poop.

Zappa 10-24-2005 08:40 PM

I never bother banning people. Too much work.

Harry Potter Jelly Bellies?

I'm going to tell a cautionary tale, kids, so listen well.

There was a guy named Dan. He was an affable fellow, killing once in a while, but one day, he noticed a wart on the side of his right index finger, right in the knuckle area. After trying over-the-counter products, he figured that it would be best to have a medical professional tackle the problem.

One fine October 24th, 2005, having an appointment with his doctor of eight years, Dan went to the good family practitioner in between his day and night classes. The doctor said to him that he could either freeze or burn the wart away, saying that freezing would be best at first as it doesn't hurt the way burning does. Dan complied with the cold option, and the doctor readied the pressurized canister of solution and a series of nozzles with which to direct the solution as it rapidly exited the can.

This is where it all went wrong.

You see, the nozzle that the doctor chose to use was a bit too large, likening the situation to Goldilocks and her snafu with the three bears. When the good doctor started applying the pressurized solution to the wart, it became abundantly clear that there was not a sealed relationship between Dan's finger and the nozzle. Subsequently, the solution leaked all over Dan's finger, freezing the skin on impact as the chemicals lingered until evaporating. Clearly distraught and in pain, Dan's grimace and gasps directed the doctor to stop spraying and to find a smaller nozzle; the frost still spangled on his finger.

A second try yielded much better results as there was no space for the solution to escape, though some splashback did splatter onto the previously afflicted hand. The wart remained, but the good doctor said that it would fall off in time, making no mention of the now-pearl-white portion of young Dan's finger and its condition.

The finger remained white for hours, having no feeling save for the ache at the edges of the chemically-frozen areas. Effectively frostbitten, half of Dan's finger from the first knuckle to the fingernail stung if any feeling was at all possible. A medical student and friend of Dan's said that, since it wasn't turning black or grey, the finger should slowly regain feeling, but blisters would probably form.

Oh, how the blisters formed. By that evening, Dan's finger had a string of blisters that reached a peak just before sloping off at the fingernail. These blisters combined with the frostbite rendered the finger almost immobile. A right-handed and only partially and moderately ambidextrous man, Dan's functionality was severely hindered, he babying the finger and hand as not to burst the blisters.

Now, he sits, hoping the blisters will grow no larger and dissipate quickly to welcome the return of normal, non-painful feeling to his finger.

Moral: Make sure your doctor checks for leaks.

morrissey 10-24-2005 09:02 PM

Poor Liberi/Raiven/Rancid Dan. :(

oh and you I guess or whatever

RollerQueen 10-24-2005 09:12 PM
