@Lotherio YAAAAS.

Make this happen, people, and post the wiki site. I won't be playing, but I will nerd out on your journals.

@SinCerely said in RL Anger:

@Ghost The only partners I've had that didn't cry about the heat have been women, so there's my correlation with testicle-temp being key. My rage is mostly facetious.

Also we use all the god damn body wash because it makes us smell like our partners all day and that's nice. Or at least, that's the way it is for me.

Well...since you put it that way, consider my perceptions expanded and I now find myself oddly okay with it. I'm going to do my best not to do the guy thing and ask if she uses all of my body wash to smell like me, because then she'll probably say "when you don't use enough it always runs out before I'm done scrubbing" and the mystique will be ruined.

As for testicle temperature? I dunno about that. Never been an issue with me.

FAKE DOUCHEBAG EDGELORD COMMENT IN 3...2...

My junk runs naturally hot.

@SinCerely said in RL Anger:

What is it with men and cold showers? It's like if it's warmer than testicle temperature it's scalding.

HEAT IS GOOD. MILDLY SCALDING IS BETTER. Stop crying when you climb in next to my wet naked body and your skin burns away, IT'S FINE.

My SO and I are the opposite. I like my showers hot enough that I feel that bite from the heat. She always gets in and turns the heat down to some weird form of lukewarm. I don't mind the hot naked girl as company, but damn...

...oh, and then she uses all of my fucking bodywash.

Journal entries for that game would be amaaaaaazing

June 16 1787 Saturday

But a fornight has passed since I last had tea with Lieutenant James Hargrowe. A tall man of broad shoulder and presence, I miss him dearly. He is off to fight the undead menace, leaving me to the vastly important task of preparing poultices for those unfortunately wounded...

My SO uses a ridiculous amount of body wash per shower.

I use about a dime's worth.

She's like:

She ran out of body wash.

I will now be out of body wash in a week.

Preemptively, before the Hog Pit kills us.

402 represent.

I'm from the era when Ak-Sar-Ben hosted concerts and the Lancers, saw Manson and Gwar at the Ranch Bowl, and am relieved as hell that Sokol is still playing shows.

Good to know there's people from the banks of the muddy river around here.

@Tinuviel Hey. I'm going to show you something.

This is my ten foot pole...

And this is a video depicting how I'm gonna use it to NOPE the fuck outta this one.

@Ghost said in RL Anger:

ETA: I'm not entirely sure that I have the willpower to address that gently. I told her that Irish immigrants were indentured servitude and had rights, unlike chattel slavery, but if it turns into an argument, I dont know if I can keep Jim Halpert WTF from turning into...

I hope you're not unironically defending the practise of indentured servitude.

Hey folks, just checking in at the end of the weekend. In answer to your question, @Groth ?

Absolutely not.

Bad is bad, period, but my sarcastic gifs and whatnot to my original post were due to a bit of incredulity from the white Irish indentured servants were treated worse than any other ethnic group in American history statement this friend of mine on FB posted.

Sure, it's a subjective topic, but it's one I'm sure the Native American and African-imported kidnapped chattel slavery historians would have an opinion or two on. That's all. I don't exactly see where any point in my original statement might have suggested unironically supporting one form of slavery over the other?

@Roz said it well: "If you compare the horrors of two things, and you call thing A more horrific, is that...defending thing B???"

@Too-Old-For-This said in RL things I love:

@Ghost I dunno, I think she picked the deceptive hardcore mode. IIRC, the family wanted a big church wedding and reception, hundreds of guests type wedding. So the guilt-tripping is real.

Well, yeah, but ULTRA MONSTER ENERGY DRINK HARDCORE mode involves Weddin' Guns.

But, yeah, that does seem like hardcore mode.

@Aria Well, sure, if you wanna play on easy mode.

Also: Congrats.

Put a gun in those pockets.

A weddin' gun

"I bet you can run down that aisle fast, but I got six little friends in my pocket and they can all run faster than you."

I bet they make a BBQ gun just for those purposes.

ETA:

It'd even work for your something blue.

"Pre-order the Johnson Brothers Devon Cottage 2-Piece Murder Set! A Pottery Barn EXCLUSIVE."

@Auspice That reminds me of the Starcrash episode of the new MST3K run...

“Release her or I’ll blast your queen.” (Texarcana accented robot)

With authentic hickory-smoked barbecue flavor.

@BobGoblin Might have gotten my hands onto a copy of Tiny Supers. >.>

A friend on Facebook: "White Irish immigrant slaves were treated worse than any other ethnic group in American history, and you don't see them asking for reparations..."

Really?

I mean, really?

@surreality Correct. With my luck in life, I'd be the guy walking in saying "Eyyyy look at all these losers tryna' find E.T." and then walk off to the section of the forest designated the bathroom forest...

...directly into the presence of some six-tentacled alien.

I'd run back going "GUYS GUYS GUYS there's a six tentacled alien in the forest" and some guy would raise his hand and say "Dude that's MY story; get your own."

That would definitely be my luck.

P.S. I aikido deflect your ruse to lure me back to this hobby.

And they've all got a story...

It's never "eh, I think there might be aliens out there and just wanna be on the inside track for when something pretty sweet happens..."

Instead, almost every one of them has this quasi-practiced story: "It was the summer of 1982 and I was in the high desert. It was a normal night such as any other..."

Yeah, c'mon Hemmingway.

@Aria Preeeeeetty much.

It's somewhat fascinating to see the little differences between these people, because they seem to have central themes that are the same, but with little differences so that each are unique, kind of like BSG MU characters.

BSG

• I'm a Raptor pilot, but I'm a chef
• I'm a Raptor pilot, but I'm a painter
• I'm a Raptor pilot, but I'm a pyramid nut

MUFON

• I'm a remote viewer who is also a cop
• I'm a remote viewer who was in the Air Force
• I've seen aliens and they stole my dog
• I've seen aliens and was later asked for a cigarette by a guy in a tie and I just know it was a Man in Black intimidating me
• I've seen aliens and am EMT certified and have insight into their biology.
• I've seen aliens and they stole my dog (GOD DAMN IT STEVE, WE'VE ALREADY GOT ONE OF THOSE) cat.

@Aria Mutual UFO Network. Regular people who X-File and document a worldwide network of UFO/paranormal phenomena (phenomenon? Phenomenae?Mana-Mana).

I should expound. Every one of these guys likes to talk about themselves as unbiased investigators, but each and every one has "first-hand eye witness testimony" details prepared for the day some History Channel show wants to interview them. My SO wants to get involved every now and then.

They wanna do stuff like: Hanging out on a hill in the wilderness and watch the sky with night vision goggles for 6 hours. OMFGBORING and I'd have to bring the Nintendo Switch or weed or something because it would literally be watching stars that take years for their light to get to our planet for signs of alien life.

So...stuff like remote viewer "experts" and psychics doing hard-nosed paranormal investigation.

Like...I'm half considering promoting myself as a psychic remote viewer and claiming I used to be involved in secret underground battle royale psychic cage fighting just so feel awesome when people go "Fascinating, what was that like???" because the plausible deniability is like -14 with these people.

ETA: So help me god, I am not going to some wilderness camping scenario to stare at the sky and wait for some satellite to fly by and everyone gasp because its MechaJesusRudolph unless I'm getting snuck off back to the cars to get laid twice. Then? I'd go, put in my hours, carsex, and then Battle Chasers on Switch.

My friend has gotten into investigating for MUFON and he's trying to tap my SO and I as "ghost hunters" with him.

Fuck. My. Life.
