Just so long as your books aren't full of vashta nerada, they can't be that evil.

Has it turned purple yet? When I broke toes, they turned the most fascinating shades of purple.

Can't stop now. Too invested in the characters.

Try this instead: "Don't call yourself an idiot, you fabulous human being!"

But...if I did that, then how would I serve as a cautionary tale to our newbies? I SUFFER SO THEY WILL NOT!

Done with work for the week! Tomorrow brings Naka-Kon!

Not hugely. It's those small ones with just barely a corner of a blade to them, and they tend to get gummed up on tape. It just annoys me because I'm exactly the sort of clumsy idiot who would accidentally grab the thing from the wrong end without looking closely.

Because he sliced himself on his own fancy one and not the one in the widget room? Maybe he's just not connecting the "I used the blade improperly" with "leaving the blade exposed is a recipe for disaster"

People who don't slide the box-cutter blade back into its casing. It's called safety! The worst perpetrator of this at work is the guy who had to get stitches last year for slicing his finger open on a box-cutter. He still hasn't learned.

Excellent use of the Oxford comma! I approve.

Well, in the end, whoever gets to start the thread will choose the name. Just remember - NO starting the new thread until the old one has been locked!

I think we should just start making things up. Random Stuff VIII - X-wings Go Pew-Pew-Pew! You will be fine! You will rock this! You are good enough, you are smart enough, and gosh darn it, people like you!

You no can has my flutes!

For SCIENCE! I <3 science

It's just a recipe for a real-life drink, I promise. The only spikes would be the ones you put in yourself.

I fix!

It's all right. We all have our off-nights. Pop on over to the Church of Wayne and grab the recipe for making a Bunny Foo Foo. It's the perfect time of year for putting alcohol into hollow chocolate forest animals!

No worries. I got spiked when I was a noob, so now I'm wandering the Shard with the Feruchemical power to store and tap maturity. It's handy, but that dang chunk of metal lodged between my ribs itches something fierce. Wayne would do glorious things. Terrible, wonderful, amazingly drunken things. And in that moment, you pulled me completely onto the Wayne Needs To Become A Worldhopper bandwagon.

MY metal spikes? I protest! I am no Dark Alley denizen, good sir!

Hooray! And don't forget to spring forward while you're in Louisiana! You're going to have the fun of a one-hour timeswitch going out and then having to dial up two hours coming back.

Welcome! There is definitely a ton of discussion to be had around here; you won't be disappointed. Beware of the cookies. They're...pointy.

Does that mean it only has half a Hemalurgical charge?

From what I've seen, the actual Native American reaction to this has been rather upset. There are a lot of liberties made with actual cultures here, cultures that a few people are desperately trying to keep alive, and they're not all that thrilled with how Rowling has appropriated things. NO! Geese are evil. They are horrible, vicious monsters that will try to murder the poor, helpless pug! Dinosaurs didn't die out - velociraptors evolved into geese. Keep Mollie away from them!

If he dies in The Lost Metal, I think we'll all already be miserable enough. No point in compounding the pain by eating socks.
