Mistrunner Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Heeey, it Nerdy Joke Time? I've got plenty! What did one chromosome say to the other? "Do these genes make me look fat?" Did you hear about the mathematician who's afraid of negative numbers? He'll stop at nothing to avoid them. What's Beethoven's favorite fruit? BA-NA-NA-NAAAAAAA! Why did Beethoven get rid of his chickens? All they could say was "Bach, back, bach." A C, an E flat and a G walk into a bar. The bartender says "Sorry, we don't serve minors." What do you get if you drop a piano down a mine shaft? A flat miner. Those turned into music jokes at the end, but I like music jokes. So sue me. 6
Kobold King he/him Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 "I've lost one of my electrons," an atom wails, voice wracked with sorrow. "Oh no," another atom sympathizes. "Are you sure?" "Yes," the first atom sniffs, "I'm positive." 2
Kestrel she/her Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 Where do you see yourself in five years? I dunno... I don't have 2020 vision. I hope you enjoyed this joke, because under our current calendar this is the only year it will ever make sense. You can always replace the number of years thoSo if it was 2016- 4 years 2017- 3 2019- 1 It still makes sense that way.
Kestrel she/her Posted August 5, 2015 Posted August 5, 2015 So every year for band each section makes a poster to hang in the band hall. It represents the section, has the section leaders' names, a picture of instrument, etc. In all honesty, I think the baritones won. It was glorious. Such artistry, unparalleled by any artist I've ever seen. It was so pure, so fantastic, it moved me to tears. I cannot describe it, so here is a photo 3
Left he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Off to youth conference in the morning( LDS summer campy thing kinda) Sometying like 10 hours of driving total, which hopefully won't be too bad. I'm used to long drives, but Im not sure exactly who I'll be driving with so hopefully they're cool. Long trips are much better with good company. 2

And yes, good company is essential.
Mistrunner Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Found this. It's beautiful. Spoiler tags because large image. 5
Guest Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Found this. It's beautiful. Spoiler tags because large image. YES. SO TRUE. Non-pianists will never understand how true this is.Liszt is the awesomest. And Chopin.
Guest Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Kobold, the last time I expected a relevant image from you was back when you were a puny whippersn--y'know, I don't think I ever expected a relevant image. Don't patronize me. Love you anyway. In a strictly platonic manner, of course.
Delightful Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) I just watched Lord of the Rings all the way through for the first time. (I've read half the hobbit and the first two books but I found the prose style hard to get through). And it's AMAZING! !!!!!! "Yes Delightful", I hear you say, "we all know that, Tolkein basically invented modern fantasy. " I KNOW. And now I see why. And it's just fantastic and beautiful and perfect and oh my goodness this is why I love epic fantasy. Rant over, I think. I did wonder why a prerequisite for being evil was really bad teeth, however. Oh and.....is the Lord Sauron for creating the master ring? Or Frodo for destroying it? Edited August 6, 2015 by Delightful 2
Mestiv he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Did you watch the extended versions? They are like 1 hour longer EACH Return of the King is 4 hours long by itself.
SmurfAquamarineBodies he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 I have. I watched it with a guy from Sweden who hadn't seen them. I could only do it because, as new zealanders do, we made it into a drinking game. We were very intoxicated by the end.
Delightful Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 It was the 3 hour each version. How do you make it a drinking game?
Mestiv he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 It was the 3 hour each version. How do you make it a drinking game? My suggestion would be "drink every time Gollum says 'precious'" or "drink every time a sword is drawn"

Delightful Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) LOL. So. Many. Hand close-ups in the first movie! Also when the elephants turn up in Return of the King I was like "take it down like a chasmfiend!".......... Edited August 6, 2015 by Delightful
Kobold King he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 LOL. So. Many. Hand close-ups in the first movie! This is clearly not a movie for Alethi children! I'm not sure how it got away with a PG-13 rating.
Delightful Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 This is clearly not a movie for Alethi children! I'm not sure how it got away with a PG-13 rating. Well the hobbitses and Gandalf are all men so........sexism wins and the movie remains clean.
Blaze1616 he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Well the hobbitses and Gandalf are all men so........sexism wins and the movie remains clean. In fact, are Arwen's hands ever not covered? Doesn't she wear gloves most of the time, and her elvish dresses cover a fair portion of her hands, if I recall. It would be more like a girl running around on screen with a very low cut shirt. Eowyn, on the other hand, I don't remember her hands that well. I'm pretty sure her dresses leave her hands uncovered.

Mestiv he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Arwen - the black haired elf Eowyn - the blond horse girl
Delightful Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Ok then. Arwen I'm pretty sure her hands are visible. Eowyn has some awesome long sleeves that leave her hands visible, but also I think wears gloves sometimes. .....you know you're a Sanderfan when... 1
Blaze1616 he/him Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 (edited) Arwen - the black haired elf Eowyn - the blond horse girl To offer a little more context Movie Spoilers Arwen: Black haired elf, daughter of Elrond of Rivendell, lover of Aragorn. Eowyn: Blond "horse girl", niece of Theodyn of Rohan, sister of Eomer Third Marshall of the Riddermark, slayer of the Witch King. Edit: and I was wrong, both ladies show their hands. A lot. Scandalous. Edited August 6, 2015 by Blaze1616
