In a good way! Not the jump-from-trains-while-wondering-if-you-should-have-been-a-farmer-instead way. Though if you are inclined to jump from trains while wondering if you should've been a farmer, that's perfectly fine, and….

 

I think I need to start over.

 

 

Instructions unclear. Farming on a high-speed train chase now.

 

This is actually pretty cool, though the chickens keep flying out the open window.

Think about it like this: Jumping from trains not save, wanting to be a farmer save... unless you build your farm on the rail tracks.

 

Also, I just found out there's a trailer for the Diamond is Unbreakable adaptation. The effects on Crazy D are awesome.

Looking at the top reps, there's a person called Swimmingly near the top. The only place I've ever seen him is in some older threads. Anyone know what happened to him? He must have been pretty active at some point to have gotten so high up. . . .

He simply started posting less and less until he was gone altogether. Which is a shame, since he was hilarious. Way funnier than me--I'd never have reached the top if he'd stayed active.

 

Seriously. The dude was Charlie Chaplin and I'm a birthday party clown.

Kaymyth, remember when you posted about the joys of brussels sprouts pizza? 

 

Well, today I tried a pizza with cream sauce, brussels sprouts, pine nuts, red pepper flakes, and some sort of tangy-sweet vinaigrette. 

 

And it was amazing.  

[Delightful]

Can confirm: swimmingly is hilarious. Probably one of the highest rep people when I got here, I remember looking at him and thinking "wow he's such a strong member of the community."

And then one day I passed him in rep. . Still not sure I've quite gotten over that.

I had the most awful dream last night. I dreamed that, after a long wait, I finally got my hands on the next book in the Stormlight Archive. What could possibly be awful about that, you may ask? Well, in the first chapter, we discover that Sadeas somehow survived Adolin's attack, and not only that, Sadeas publicly executed him for it! I woke up in a cold sweat, relieved to discover it was only a dream. Hopefully it stays as a dream.

I think we've had more than enough characters come back to life recently for that to be an issue.

The past, the present, and the future walked into a bar. It was tense.

If you took a whales heart and weighed it, the whale would probably die.

I'm inclined to disagree. I've looked through his reputation (I'm 122 pages away from finishing yours, by the way ), and while he is quite funny, I'd put you both in the same place on the sliding scale of hilarity.

Actually, I think your tendency to elocute more clearly and with more elaboration places you a tier above him. Calling yourself a birthday party clown isn't really a great comparison : your sense of humor is far more advanced than the cheap laughs of squeaky shoes and a red nose.

I see you as more than worthy of Swimmingly's mantle. You match a paragraph on Tipsiness (the Shard of alcohol, for those of you who haven't seen that hilarious post) with a short story about Quiver becoming an eldritch abomination who destroys the world with the MLP theme song. As far as humor goes, Kobold King =\> Swimmingly with every quip, parody, elaborate joke, or captioned image.

You have a tendency to underestimate yourself. I mean, just look at the unnecessary nervousness you hoist on yourself with your high-caliber Oregon RP posts. Consciousness of one's own skills and abilities doesn't equate to arrogance, if that's your dilemma.

You've already both filled and surpassed Swimmingly's role on the great forum stage. Now, accept yourself for it.

I'm sorry if that came off as pushy. It just hurts me, a little bit, when I see the many instances of you putting yourself down. I hope that wasn't upsetting, to you. I mean the best.

So, that's my two cents.

Fwiw, that sounded encouraging, not pushy, to me.

I don't know which you took, but I took an online one, and got 38. Given my quality of life, it's probably Aspergers. And it does help explain my weirdness. And if anyone tries to tell me I'm not weird, I will storm them to Braize. I see weirdness as a badge of honor.

 

Hoo-rah, weirdos unite! We should make t-shirts. And badges or something.

I just did the same.   It feels wrong, somehow.

That wasn't pushy at all. That was awesome. Thanks.

Lark! Happy birthday!

[Kobold King he/him]

Happy birthday Lark! You'll be happy to know that I show off that piece of icon art you did for my alien species request all the time. Most people think your art is cooler than what I've come up with for the species, but that's to be expected.

[TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her]

Happy birthday, Lark! When I get back to my computer, I shall celebrate the occasion with the finest of pug pictures.

I guess it's a "bad things happen but God's still there" kinda thing? I'm not sure. I'm bad at explaining emotion. But all I know is my love for it tripled after I found that out.

 

The preceding track is actually the President's speech about it. It feeds perfectly into the next song, so listen to them both in one go.
