Useless Conversation

I hear Divorce is one long, pleasant vacation.

I second this.   

[Signe]

No No No!  No divorce for Yegolev!  I'm convinced that for all his complaining, they are a wonderful couple!

[Yegolev]

I'm chuckling a lot because I did not refer to my wife at all.

[Signe]

Maybe that's why they said it!   

[Yegolev]

Apparently I have a reputation.

By the way, my wife has been pissing me off lately.... ah, nevermind.

I believe the boy is going to be at his grandparents' house tonight so I'm going to see if she wants to see Terminator with me.

[Merusk]

No rep needed. You're married with children and a wife who likes to spend.  I live that life and daydream of 'escape' sometimes.  That or death.. y'know.. either way.

[Ironwood]

Does your wife like almonds ?

[Yegolev]

Usually I don't let on, but this time I have to say that I don't get it.

[Merusk]

I believe Ironwood is hinting at arsenic.

[Yegolev]

Poison is tedious and boring.  Also it might show up in an autopsy.

[Reg]

I believe that it's cyanide that smells like almonds isn't it?

[Draegan]

Bored at work and I was digging around some old threads from 2004 in the MMOG section.  Looked into a few WOW prediction type threads.  I had to laugh, a lot of completely wrong guesses.

[Lantyssa]

I believe that it's cyanide that smells like almonds isn't it?

Yes.

[Merusk]

This is why I'd make a lousy poisoner.

[Oban]

Cheer up, I made you some marzipan filled chocolates.

[Ironwood]

 

[Oban]

Not sure where to put this.

Currently at the Georgia RenFest. Downside: fucking hot. Upside: kunoichi.

You're buying your child ninja daggers?

I'm watching the Jay Leno finale on Hulu, and like

Damn, I could have had you harrass my replacement there! And say hi to a few people to really confuse them!

[Yegolev]

You're buying your child ninja daggers?

Scimitar, shield, bow, two arrows.  Wood.  I don't get a shield because he likes one-sided fights.

Was one of them the kunoichi that wasn't wearing any underwear?  How about the possibly-illegal underwearless one at the petting farm?  Send PM if so.

[FatuousTwat]

I went to Hermiston to go to a graduation party, and it was fucking hot... But drives to eastern-oregon are always pretty.

How old is your kid, anyway?  I'm trying to determine when it is appropriate to graduate my 4 year-old up to ye olde wooden weaponry.  Right now it's all plastic lightsabers...we must have about 15 of them.

Edit:  my 4 year-old.  Not year-old. 

[Yegolev]

He is five and I will point out that the wooden weaponry is a trial.  Especially the bow.  He's a good boy but is, after all, a boy.

Edit to also say that he has a couple of plastic sabers that we play pirate with, and I expect my knuckles are going to be cracked a bit with the scimitar.  He has one lightsaber, a double-bladed one that is taller than him with only one of the ends extended; makes cool noises but not great for playfights.

[Cyrrex]

Maybe not the double-bladed ones, but the lightsabers in general are actually pretty good for play fights.  I've had to get pretty good with them, as I have both my 4 year-old and 6 year-old whacking away at me simultaneously.  It probably helps that I am a giant SW dorkwad.

[lac]

The great thing is, those little fuckers tend to whack you over the head hard while you're enjoying your siesta before asking 'Daddy want to play pirate?' Half your brain is thinking 'wtf, I'm going to gouge your eyeballs out you little prat' while the other half goes 'fuck yea, let's do pirates again!'.

Go for a basket hilt!

Which is one of the major drawbacks of the lightsabers - no real hilts on those fuckers.  I've had to become very adept at parrying their attacks simply to avoid getting my knuckles constantly bashed.

[Sky]

A real jedi makes his own saber!

[Yegolev]

Yea, there weren't any hilt options for the lightsaber.   I'm confiscating his inflatable shield; lousy it may be but it's better than nothing.  The sabers have a guard for my fingers but not a crossguard, and definitely not a basket hilt, but this mostly just makes me realize that I suck at swordfighting when a five-year-old is beating the shit out of my sword arm.

"There are two kinds of people: those who follow the rules and winners." - me, at five years old.

I was referring to making a basket hilt for your lightsaber. Use cardboard and duct tape.

Thick leather gloves.

It's not helping you.  Street cred--.
