Who isn't hunting for chocolate? After all, chocolate brings the only real happiness that we ever experience in our insignificant lives. The rest is simply an illusion; an imitation of happiness created by a malevolent demon.

Chocolate is truth. Embrace it.
Oh my.

Don't let Alcar lap you up.

Depends how much you like the smell of stale fag ash and man flesh.

Then maybe I'll skip the initiation ceremony, if you guys don't mind.

Won't happen again, sir :fuzemb:. Unfortunately I'm not exactly brimming with what you may call 'common sense'. Ask me about semantics, and I'll tell you something interesting; ask me about how to arrange an appointment with a dentist and my head spontaneously combusts. Guess that's life.

Jesus. I know.

I recommend the initiation ceremony personally. Of course, I would, wouldn't I?

Perhaps, if you enjoy that sort of thing. I have no experience of being ingested by another human, never mind a homosexual, although I guess you can't say you don't like it if you haven't tried it: maybe I should give it a bash.

So can we swap Odd prodigy for another one of this person?

OANST 12-12-2008 02:29 PM

I have to wonder how much more conversation we can possibly get out of the whole "all mods are gay" discussion. I mean, it was a funny observation the first couple of times (I guess), but you'd have to think that at some point they are just going to be tired of it. "Yeah, I'm gay. Fuck". Something like that.

How do you propose we establish a more semantic web? What insights can you share about a making a markup both semantic and lightweight?

I understand. My own mind has been simplifying itself lately. I never used to be this forgetful, absent minded or ditzy, but I missed a lecture and a lab practical yesterday because I forgot they existed. I missed a second lecture because I haven’t been to it in the last five weeks and didn’t know where it was held. It was a waste of a day.

I’m going to allow this. *admin powers*

Absolutely. It was funny back in 2002, but then things just kept getting gayer and gayer and funnier and funnier. After we near as damnit abandoned tact when swooning over Mitsur’s latest pictures, the last archaic humorous rumblings of it had just about faded when Pilot showed up and douched subtlety in the jugular with his mighty Wang of Wit.

After that, everything just seemed rather predictable.

It’s nothing to do with Pilot himself, I’m sure.

"Raging Homo" never made much sense to me. The picture that my mind's eye conjures is much more frightening than what the phrase supposed to mean. 'Rampant Homosexual' sounds a little more accurate to the definiton.

I do admit, I have been babbling a bit recently. I need to start leaving my house more.

Due to the ever-changing nature of semantics and linguistics, I'm afraid that on the web the grammar and vocabulary is more descriptive than prescriptive, which unfortunately often leads to a change in the norm of grammar and semantics. Internet 'grammar' will eventually seep into the outside world like mud though a sock. Soon, the human race as a whole may say 'roflmao' as a substitute for the usual response for humour, laughter. We are, to use the technical term, 'totally screwed'.

Eventually? That dark day has come, my friend.

After careful consideration, and having just spent a few minutes on IMDB, I have come to the conclusion that you're probably right.

That, and my best friend already says 'lol' instead of laughing.

I have heard tell that there is a variety of our kind that wanders around in the outdoors, seeking to confront one another with their brutal ‘conversation’ and disgusting-sounding ‘interaction’, as they dance in the rain and howl at the sun. Outdoors sounds dangerous. I say stay at home.

Only in his mind. A drunken grope was all it took to disabuse me of that notion.

Oh dear, you groped me? When?

Oh shit, please tell me you're kidding. People don't actually do that, do they? It''d be like living in a world full of robots. No real display of a motion, they just say things to let you know what they're feeling instead of responding properly.

You think I'm kidding? It's even worse than that. If she sees something particularly funny, she upgrades 'lol' to 'lolinator'. And yes, I'm completely serious.

But that's the only thing that she does that annoys me. Apart from that, she's surprisingly funny and intelligent :p.

OddjobAbe 12-13-2008 02:13 AM

Deary me, the world's going down when even intelligent people come out with leet in their talk. And seeing as though most people are brain-dead imagine the kind of stuff that the idiots come out with!

I'm not doubting that your friend is funny and intelligent, I'm sure she is, but not a single person on this earth is as funny and intelligent as David Mitchell.
That's right, I managed to drag a comedian into this somehow. Even I'm having trouble deciding why I did. I think I'll blame it on 'Would I Lie to You?'.

Yeah, I'm not going to disagree with you there.

It is kind of sad that people are now using internet language in everyday life. I've even heard some fourteen-year-old girls in my old school saying 'tbh', and it wasn't even in the right context! They said things like, 'Miss, are we going back to the hotel soon, tbh?'

I mean, come on, people. If you're going to use your internet slang, at least try to use them in a way that makes sense. Otherwise it's just doubly annoying. Ok, rant over.

Killy 12-13-2008 03:48 AM

Just popping in to welcome you, seems like you can write in proper English, so you'll fit in just fine!

I do that -_- it's a kind of sarcasm thing, which is odd as I never ever use lol on the internet.

In my school, kids say "OMG" all the time wich is frigging annoying, but they use it in the right context. Even so, use LOL instead of laughing is a really serious business. :fuzsad:

Wow, you sound like Abe trying to get out of Rupture Farms. :D:D

Wil 12-13-2008 01:26 PM

The spoken use of LOL instead of actually laughing out loud amuses me. It’s a fad. They’ll slip up and laugh some time, and then they’ll wonder why they even bothered resisting doing so. In the meantime, it’s a interesting feedback between written and spoken language. The way you all get your panties in a twist (although hopefully separate twists rather than one combined super-twist) add another layer of interest and humour.

Chocolate Hunter 12-13-2008 03:54 PM

I sometimes fantasise about battering Jade Goody to death with Romantic poetry anthologies. Is there something wrong with me?

My sister has a friend who never laughs. She just says "That's so funny". At first I thought that she was being demeaning but that's just the way she is. Laughing is not her natural reaction.

Nate, your story made me laugh. Put a smile on her face.

I'm always finding chocolate but it's pretty much gone right after I find it, so I'm always forced to keep looking. It's okay if you're annoying - the world would be pretty boring if there wasn't anyone annoying in it. I mean, what would happen to the UK? People in this country live to moan about annoying people. It's all we're good for as a nation!

Christ, you're right, I love a good moan. Hello to you!

Chocolate Hunter! You should blend right in here. I mean the moderator team is hunting for chocolate 90% of the time anyway. Except Havoc. he's hunting for tigers.

If I wasn't enjoying this post so much I'd take offence.

That explains a lot. Now I know why I wake up every morning with blood on my hands. And, now that I've looked in my closet, I also know why Paris Hilton hasn't been seen in the past few weeks. What a mess. It's going to take me hours to scrub all of the bodily fluids off the wood :rolleyes:
