AmadanNaBriona Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Saturday Night at Tulare County Ren Faire... While my lass went for a wander, I went a bit crazy with the whole "hospitality of my camp" thing and wound up somewhat dead drunk. "You alive?" "unngh?" "Well, it's a good thing I didn't bring a girl back with me. What do you think you could do?" "Be totally useless?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted April 29, 2010 Report Share Posted April 29, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Half-past midnight - me, getting up, staggering through the house, muttering to Purrdence Me : Nightmares again. Time travel nightmares. Multiversal time travel nightmares, and getting lost. Not to mention the Soviet-era brainwashing scenes, and at least three alternate General Wellingtons. Seven hours of this. I'd wake up, gibber, and go back to sleep for more of the same. I do not need this on top of two weeks of badly disrupted sleep patterns. *gibbers some more* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drhoz Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. A few quotes from Swancon. At the Masquerade, where they're hanging small vials of luminous stuff from the fixtures. I check the label on the box. Me : Herpes simplex virus 1 IgA... Delicious_Irony : Oh, shut up. Just because I borrow office supplies.... CheshireNoir : *pointing to wi-fi antenna on his laptop* Greatest invention of the century - the internet-onna-stick! Paul Kidd's magnificent Flower Mantis costume had enormous plastic domes for eyes. Over the course of the night they fogged up inside, which didn't mesh well with the disco lighting Paul : It was like being a seventies movies drug sequence Tamara's equally noteworthy costume had a long tongue, with internal articulation. Tamara : Someone tried to lead me away by my tongue. So I curled it around his wrist and they screamed. Summing up the panel on why they are so many alternate WWII stories Panellist : The Second World War was the first really global war. The biggest, most diverse war in history. It had tank battles, ship battles, air battles, land battles, battles in the desert, battles in the snow, urban warfare, jungle warfare, dirty tricks campaign, counterespionage... Audience : Resistance fighters... Panellist : The war with something for everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Fifteen years ago or so ago, on this day ... I was lecturing in a 101-level planetary astronomy course in an enormous lecture hall in a big state university. The topic that day was Venus, for which we had recently had the Magellan radar-mapping mission return its results. One of the less-understood features on Venus are coronae, of which there are several; we have nothing like them on Earth, and the Moon and Mars don't have them either. I had an errant thought, and looked up into the class (about 150 in attendance), and said, "It seems appropriate to be talking about Coronas on Cinco de Mayo." Then went back with the regular lecture. No one said anything. At times I wonder if anyone even understood the comment. Ah well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbywolfe Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. Wasn't there some website that claimed the Jedi Council was actually the Presbyterian Church? Probably. Whether intentional or not it is easy to make religious parallels, especially with the prequels. I mean, you have the immaculately conceived character grow up, rebel against the current religious order, “clear out” the temple, then basically die and get rebuilt… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drhoz Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Re: Quote of the Week From My Life. At Karaoke for Purrdence's birthday. The song in question is Dusty Springfield's 'The Look of Love'. The video is a guy with a sniper rifle scoping out a couple in the building opposite. And ends with a helicopter chain-gunning an office suite. My mind is boggled. Almost as insane - the yakuza version of 'Neverending Story', and the 'ABC' prison scene But none of these top the Que Sera Sera Nuclear Apocalypse Garth come back from the the bar with a bunch of orders, and plonks the drinks down. Garth : There you go - I just gave your wife an Orgasm "That pair that did the Spandau Ballet song..." "They were so drunk." "They were so gay. I can't believe anybody could be that gay without touching each others bottoms." *watching one of those singers in this display of drunk bogan homoeroticism and trying to figure out what's so wrong with his anatomy* Garth : He's got no arse - it's just legs and a back. Me : He dances like a drunk velociraptor with no tail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
