Specially for Mr N.

Spoiler to save innocent souls who wander upon this bleak video :

I actually used to like this. Very briefly.

It's got all the passion of a Swiss music box.

(I can imagine the leader singer thinking to himself "F*** this. I just wanna die."

I'm scarred for life.

Dude. The 90s doesn't have anything on the terrible world that was 50s pop dance crazes and novelty songs. That was like, the whole second half of the decade in a nutshell. You aren't in a position to talk. At all.

I'm a honky tonk man, so indeed I do.

Now. Mr R. You must tell.

Google. Elvis.

Actually, it's all been a nightmare since the 16th of august '77

Now. Mr R. You must tell.

It's obviously the time when the fire nation attacked.

It's obviously the time when the fire nation attacked.

Only the avatar, master of all 4 elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.

(Sorry, reflex; couldn't leave that hanging.)

 

[Takhisis]

Only an arrow to the knee could have stopped you from saying that. I baited a trap with the sweetest of honeys…

 

[Borachio]

Talk in code. Go on. I don't mind. (A simple enough reference to the film Avatar, would be my best guess. Who knows? I haven't seen it.)

 

[JohannaK]

The film, you say. Oh my God, no.

 

[Borachio]

OK. Not the film then. And I should care, why? (I mean I don't say I don't care. But why should I? If I don't know what to care about.)

 

[JohannaK]

Methinks it is collaterally a reference to the film, but I don't think he was thinking of the film when he did it. You just have to look at Owen's avatar.

 

[Borachio]

Paint me an ignoramus. That looks to me like some generic far east reference type thingy.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

My mother is having a tantrum again

 

[Borachio]

What about this time?

 

[Phrossack]

Paint me an ignoramus. That looks to me like some generic far east reference type thingy.

The quotes are references to the intro to the show Avatar: TLA. Owen's ava-- no, that'd be a pun-- picture is a character from said show.

Rant: The word "tribe" needs to be forever erased from the English vocabulary.

 

[Borachio]

Oh right. Interesting. Out of my demographic apparently.

Well, because of the tantrum, our internet is being turned off tonight. My mother forgot to pay the bill and tried to blame them. I hate her.

A lot of extrasolar plants don't have accurately measured masses and radii. And of course I have an assignment asking for calculations of the densities of a sample of them.

Oh no! Disaster.

I'm sure you don't really hate her, though. She did only forget something, didn't she?
