  1. I just rickrolled my entire class for educational reasons.

    That is all.

      Hm.

      Well we were talking about linguism, and our teacher wanted us to go onto youtube to find examples of various speech types. I decided to find as many as possible in "Never Gonna Give You Up" (spoiler alert: there were a lot), and put them into my google doc for the next day.

      We were discussing these the following day, and when he asked for an example of a Commissive Phrase (a form of committment) I offered mine. He was like "Ah, yes. Well, I'm not sure if anyone's heard this song before, so let's play it just in case ;)"

      So he played it in the background while we discussed it ("Never gonna give you up" is a commissive phrase because it concerns more than just the present and, of course, forms a committment). By the end he was like "for review" and it went into the chorus.

      It was awesome.

  2. I guess I'll explain it: When you sign up for Secret Santa, you're assigned to someone else who also did randomly. Everyone has their own assignment; and everyone has someone assigned to them. Everyone's expected to give/make their assignment a small gift (here on the Shard that's usually a piece of art or something; not something that'd require a mailing address). In the end it's just fun to wonder who's your Secret Santa and what they're getting you; and, of course, it's fun to make someone something too
  3. "You're all the light I'll ever need." He winked. "But also yes."
  4. The engine was quiet. All the thrusters and main generators were in the cold vacuum of space: all they could hear in here were the faint tremors from what little friction made its way through from the heat. The DM/Fusion engines--as well as all the hardware--were surrounded with joint-alloy glass, so they couldn't hear any of that either. "So..." Schevin looked around. "If I were a vanished robot... where would I be?"
  5. Schevin and Azgard were offline from all lightspeed communication: the engine, of course, was no place to have such signals bouncing about.
  6. Let's kick this off with something basic. Today's Prompt: Season's Greetings!
  7. "Hold up!" Fadran ran up and kissed her. "Okay. Continue."
  8. Y'know--and apologies for double-posting--I'm gonna host this one, just because a number of people didn't get presents last year and I want to make sure that doesn't happen again. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd2jVoxDOGMHtyQEydsTBATp8qlBGdAZ6P9xU7UDYWACpdnmA/viewform?usp=sf_link Here's the signup, everybody!
  9. Anyone wanna be in charge? I can if no one does.
  10. I have posted links to all of last years' activities in the OP of the 17th Shard Christmas - General thread! Tomorrow is December 1, so I'm going to need some people to sign up for running things.

  11. "I do, and I don't; there ain't ever no try. Me over here with Luke walkin' the sky. Always two there are; always two they say. Ain't no sith lords gettin' past me today!"
  12. To all the people who didn't give their person a gift last year:
