..... the master?

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:10 pm

I highly doubt he is the master of anything.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:11 pm

Well ain't that a shame

For once I could find the Far Side I was looking for

There was always something about that boy...

No, of course not. It was Discord that stole the Elements of Harmony.

THE ANSWER WAS SO OBVIOUS BLARGH.

ManaWolf · Post by **ManaWolf** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:42 pm

I'm just as confused as you are Keven!

Post by **Sleet** » Mon Sep 12, 2011 9:46 pm

Back when Dissension and I were possibly dating, Psykeout did a Punnet square thing for if I were a girl and we married and had kits. Radu and Discord were two of the squyfox kits we made. Myrrh and Alyssa were the other two.

This is a land of confusion!
Anyways, I have reached a decision with a friend named Jawymz, in metal fab we will attempt to make a guitar out of aluminium cans welded together. Yah, its a great way to recycle.

Oh boy chat threads. These either work out horribly or wonderfully for me with people

So what are you all up doing?

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:11 am

Working on homework, talking to people, drinking delicious cream soda.

Thirdkoopa · Post by **Thirdkoopa** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:37 am

Lol'd at the avatar. What homework? And on what systems?

If I had soda I'd stay up all night so yeah... not doing that.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:40 am

Homework for my engineering design class. And what do you mean what systems?

This is caffeine-free so it's all good here!

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:40 am

Um... what do you mean, 'which systems'?

Also, Sleet uses a rotating avatar; every time the page refreshes, it updates. It may be helpful to point out which one you're talking about. *giggles*

I'm browsing Wikipedia

Thirdkoopa · Post by **Thirdkoopa** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:14 am

...oh god you know you're tired when you replace 'How are you chatting with your friends?" (i.e. Facebook, Phone, etc) with a simple "what systems"

I think that clarifies things.

Post by **Dissension** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:15 am

I assumed that's what you meant, but wanted to make sure I wasn't going to sound like an idiot. I'm using AIM.

Thirdkoopa · Post by **Thirdkoopa** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 3:43 am

Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who hasn't grasped AIM as much as others. Never enjoyed it as much as other clients

Then again, I did get use to Skype, so you never know. And I'm hitting the sack at this point.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:42 am

I just use AIM 'cause that's what most of my friends here use.

Thirdkoopa · Post by **Thirdkoopa** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 10:58 am

MSN user but I use multiple and if a certain forum uses ___ client enough I'm able to use it as well.

...well and Skype/Steam. AIM's the one I use the least.

I just use IMO so I can have Skype, MSN, YIM, and AIM all in one thing and not kill people for not having my chat client. I ended up having to get them all. So many buttons bellow my posts! wooo.

I just found out a group of ferrets is called a Business.

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 4:59 pm

Oh man, I need to keep that in mind. There's potential for animal puns there.

Psykeout · Post by **Psykeout** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:11 pm

Oh those ferrets. You really shouldn't poke your nose in their business.

other ones i'm sure you're dying to hear
Parliament of owls
Murder of crows
Company of badgers
Glare of cats
Fensying of ferrets (I just think that's a fun word)
Smack of jellyfish
Marmalade of ponies
Wisdom of wombats
Sneak of weasels

I'm personally of the opinion that the words for groups of animals were specifically chosen for no other reason than to sound silly. It's not like you'd use them in everyday conversation, it would just be needlessly confusing, so you only use them in the context of their existence as words rather than using their actual meanings.

I agree. I doubt even most gozzards refer to their flock as a gaggle, and most scientists I'm sure will be very content with referring to their animal of study as a herd, flock, swarm, clan, school, or what have you. Especially when you have this nonsense when there's more than one acceptable word, when none of them are more convenient or more correct than any of the others. But it's fun to walk into a pet shop and say "Look mom! A saladbowl of hamsters!"

Post by **Sleet** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:53 pm

"Sleet, where are you going?"
"To hang out with my friends, mom!"
"Oh no you don't! Quit skulking and come in here and do your chores!"
"Mooooooooom!"

They should make the word for a group of friends "incredibly important business meeting".

A skulk is a group of foxes.

Bah.

Skulking is not sulking. READ IT WRONG MY BAD GUYS.

CaptainPea · Post by **CaptainPea** » Tue Sep 13, 2011 8:14 pm

See? We were talking exactly about the names of groups of animals and still didn't catch a reference to the name of a group of animals. PROVES MY POINT I think
