Random Rants LIV: I Took An Arrow In The Knee

[Arakhor]

I believe that's why in original renditions of the story of Persephone, Demeter's abandonment of her duties to search for her daughter didn't cause winter: rather the pitiless, baking summer never ended.

where my mom works.

Oh dear. Could be worse, though.

Kids, dont go for a run after any combo of wine, cheese, cake, and cheese cake

Bread, egs, breaded eggs.

Oh dear. Could be worse, though.

The other alternative was a store, but they didn't allow me to raid the alcohol cabinet.

Random thought: I always found the Persephone/Hades/Demeter/whatever myth interesting. Maybe because Hades was, relatively speaking, the most boring and nicest (I say that relatively speaking) god compared to the other ones.

Also, another random thing I learned the other day, in one myth, Zeus disguises himself as Hades to boink Persephone.

There must have been a point in antiquity when there was no woman that Zeus hadn't boinked, either dead or alive.

 

[choxorn]

That's still true. Zeus is everywhere, boinking everyone, all the time. Including you, right now.

 

[gay_Aleks]

So wait, did Zeus cause the giant population boom? Man, what an .

Oh, man, I want that to happen. He's gotta be crazy good at it by now.

It's seagull nesting season again so they are getting aggressive.

OK I annoyed a seagull that was minding its own business on Tuesday evening by cawing back at it - took off from the roof and took a couple of swoops at me.
On Wednesday evening I was walking the same way and it didn't even squawk at me - it took off in a straight line towards me.

My wife was waiting in the car and saw the whole thing - I didn't get much sympathy.

I'm going to need plenty of money to get a place of residence by myself when I eventually move out of home, because being around people for too long is too draining.

Shout out to the ATM from 2 days ago for making me buy my own money.

Any plans as yet?

If Zeus could disguise himself as an ant, swan, or shower of gold (no, not that kind of golden shower, you pervert), and use his awesome shapeshifting powers to boink chicks and dudes and anything with a hole really, I suppose that is true.


Also, I forgot to add, he boinked Persephone several times too, not just once (according to one myth that's where Dionysus came from). Guess he was kind of into daddy-daughter incest. Well, he's into anything and everything, then again.

 

[Takhisis]

No football today? I'll need a pint of Shoggoth's Old Peculiar or two to see me through the afternoon then.

The other alternative was a store, but they didn't allow me to raid the alcohol cabinet.

Well, you can always pay for stuff.

 

[azzaman333]

Any plans as yet?

Nah, not enough money. Need a car first anyway.

 

[gay_Aleks]

Well, you can always pay for stuff.

Sadly, just as I spent my money, and the rain in intensified to the point it'd be stupid to walk outside. What a sad story, huh?

 

[Takhisis]

The moral of the story is that you should stay at home playing video games whenever possible.

No Internet in the new place yet. Have to go to my computer at the lab.
