Fine, I'll listen to you, Freeman. You'll have to speak up, though.

[up] You understand the concept well! Clearly, we must find something and do !!SCIENCE!! to it.

Either that or we could talk about ponies. But I can't see why we would do that.

@ATC: I've talked to you for a while, and I never thought you were stupid. You shouldn't think that about yourself.

I don't want to be non-stupid. Non-stupid people have to be descriptivists, and they don't get to say foolish things that come into their heads because they have to check each post to make sure it is well-thought-out and acceptable.
ATC, if you're genuinely that ignorant, do us all a favor and lurk, don't post-a mod

Be understanding for a change-42

  • Shove your hand into the garbage disposal unit of a sink while it's on. It feels awesome.
  • Chlorine gas is good for the lungs.
  • Always walk around in red when visiting the Crips gangs' neighborhoods.
  • Please drink and drive.
  • Drugs are cool. Do them all the time.

[up][up]That's what I do. In fact, I ought to think about the things I say more often. I got quite on mouth on me.

(Also, still reading Dorian? If you wanna talk about it, meet me in the other thread.)

[up] Hmm. I listened, but I didn't hear anything. Do you have a megaphone, by any chance?

Still, AJ couldn't even win a single gold medal the one time it really mattered.

... competeting against the entire country.

  1. Shove your hand into the garbage disposal unit of a sink while it's on. It feels awesome.
    • Already done that. It hurt, quite a lot.
  2. Chlorine gas is good for the lungs.
    • Yes, it does keep the Lungs from overworking. Or working at all.
  3. Always walk around in red when visiting the Crips gangs' neighborhoods.
    • Sure, why should I pander to the violent viewpoints of those punks. Nonviolent resistance is a good way to oppose such debauchery.
  4. Please drink and drive.
    • I don't usually drive or drink, but when I drive, I usually get a drink of water first.
  5. Drugs are cool. Do them all the time.
    • Already doing that. I take daily medications.

[up] I thought she was just competing with some local athletes, not a collection of the very best of Equestria.

[up][up] That discussion's already done, now we're swapping bad ideas and talking about !!SCIENCE!!

Incidentally, chainsaws make great soft toy substitutes, especially while they're running.

I'm starting to wonder if you just don't get the joke.

I can't hear you.

If it was just the locals they wouldn't hold it off in the capital.

The Treachery of Images is a panting by surrealist painter Rene Magritte of a pipe. It says "Ceci n'est pas une pipe, " which means "This is not a pipe" in French.

Because it's not a pipe. It's a painting. So I can listen to you, but I can't hear you, because we're miles and miles apart. It's a clever Literal-Minded Mind Screw.

Now You Know! Don't be afraid to look stupid. You'll never learn anything that way.

You do hear text if you use a text to speech program.

This is what it looks like.

This is hilarious.

There's a great XKCD that for something "everyone knows" there's somebody who is learning something awesome for the first time. This is a moment of discovery! I am so glad I shared knowledge today!

@Dalek: But by that point it's not text, it's just perfectly ordinary speech.

Except I gotta admit, some of the things that I think everybody knows are not known by everyone.

Once mentioned "Crazy Horse" in conversation, girl thought I called her "crazy whore, " cue awkward apologetic history lesson.

Once said something about "feral children, " offended someone whose last name was Ferril, cue awkward apologetic vocabulary lesson.

No, I know, that's my brother, Crazy Talk.

Once had conversation with sister about Nick and Nora. Found out she meant a different Nick and Nora.
