  1. Pugnacious Stanley?
  2. I'm pondering it. Of course, we could just be really random and start a Random Stuff VI thread!
  3. The Random Stuff thread is dead! Long live the Random Stuff thread!
  4. East of Eden was fantastic. I read that, The Moon is Down, Canary Row, and His Dark Materials over Winter Break my Freshman year of college. It was cold, my car was broken, everyone else had left me behind, and all I had were my books and a couple Moody Blues album. Best Winter Break ever
  5. I find the show to be hilarious, and you might enjoy it as well. Everyone else here, I don't know.
  6. They're Mr. Meseeks, look at them!
  7. So... Nighthound is Jabba the Hutt?
  8. Orlion arrived, wearing a trench coat. "Psst! Hey, kid! Want something...dark?" He reached into his coat and brought out The Darkness That Comes Before The first book in R Scott Bakker's Prince of Nothing trilogy.
  9. *Sniff* I'll always remember you, Random Stuff II! What cruel, soulless mod could strike you down just as you reached your Golden years! Perhaps, it is just the Human thing to destroy beautiful things... A Divine Image BY WILLIAM BLAKE Cruelty has a Human Heart And Jealousy a Human Face Terror the Human Form Divine And Secrecy, the Human Dress The Human Dress, is forged Iron The Human Form, a fiery Forge. The Human Face, a Furnace seal'd The Human Heart, its hungry Gorge.
  10. Not only that, it appears as if they lose their heads!
  11. One hundred more pages!
  12. Ah, braces, welcome to hell! Funny story: I had braces for several years when during a checkup, the orthodontist told me things were shaping up nicely and I could quit wearing rubber bands. "But I never wore rubber bands"I informed him. "..." he replied. Then there was the time my tongue got stuck in my braces and my friends laughed at my suffering...
  13. It's interesting that, as a Beowulf scholar, some of Tolkien's poetry bares quite a bit of resemblance to that saga. It's almost like it might have been intentional
  14. The Conqueror Worm BY EDGAR ALLAN POE Lo! ’t is a gala night Within the lonesome latter years! An angel throng, bewinged, bedight In veils, and drowned in tears, Sit in a theatre, to see A play of hopes and fears, While the orchestra breathes fitfully The music of the spheres. Mimes, in the form of God on high, Mutter and mumble low, And hither and thither fly— Mere puppets they, who come and go At bidding of vast formless things That shift the scenery to and fro, Flapping from out their Condor wings Invisible Wo! That motley drama—oh, be sure It shall not be forgot! With its Phantom chased for evermore By a crowd that seize it not, Through a circle that ever returneth in To the self-same spot, And much of Madness, and more of Sin, And Horror the soul of the plot. But see, amid the mimic rout, A crawling shape intrude! A blood-red thing that writhes from out The scenic solitude! It writhes!—it writhes!—with mortal pangs The mimes become its food, And seraphs sob at vermin fangs In human gore imbued. Out—out are the lights—out all! And, over each quivering form, The curtain, a funeral pall, Comes down with the rush of a storm, While the angels, all pallid and wan, Uprising, unveiling, affirm That the play is the tragedy, “Man,” And its hero, the Conqueror Worm.
  15. Sounds about right, just need to add that your best friend and you do not really care about the acquaintance because they drink all your beer and eat all your snacks. That's why they deserve to be framed for murder.
  16. First post in November about music listening! Better make it count! D'oh!
  17. Homemade, it has a rugged charm to it.
  18. An acquaintance is someone who says they'd help you hide a corpse and then call the cops.
  19. A friend is an enemy who has not yet sworn eternal vengeance against you and your kin.
  20. Pfft, that's only if someone is trying to poison the king... If the king is beloved, you have nothing to fear. If the king's name is Joffery, then I hope your affairs are in order.
  21. The next question: how many times was it checked out? Does it still have one of those cards that you stamp the due date on?
  22. What I hate most about sports is its compulsory nature.Kaymyth's co-workers are being compelled to celebrate the World Series victory, despite whither they actually care or not. Your interests don't matter, the quality of education, the safety of players, all of that needs to be sacrificed for spectator sport.
  23. Behold, the scourge of civilized society known as "sports".
  24. Well, according to a tweet, Brandon has returned to writing Stormlight 3! Think on that and despair!
  25. It does if Kipper eats too many kippers I think they're a type of fish?
