The Gwampy Thread

[Ireond]

So am I in a jam now? 

[reyler]

I figured on either that or a riff on "jarring". You're not putting much effort in.

[Ireond]

I'm not.  My heart's just not in it, I suppose.  I think it got ripped out about thirty pages ago. Possible in another thread.  I've lost my mind around here somewhere too.

[reyler]

That might have been what was stuck in my teeth.

[Ireond]

Gristly and cold?  sounds about right

[reyler]

*nibbles on your integrity*

[Ireond]

There's a first

[reyler]

Well I mean there's just so little of it, hardly enough for a mouse to starve on.

On vacation.

Getting cost/timing for Shedd aquarium in Chicago.

Not free.

Can't afford the gas let alone a motel room, meals, admission, etc.

Might do it anyway.

Don't know yet.

[reyler]

Something about you bleeding to death. Only important part, really.

[Ireond]

(Discarded pun about steps)  Surely the broken bones had to add something to the whole piece?

[reyler]

Actually I'd say the specific math here would be subtraction; organs, bone chips, whatever falls out on the way down.

[Ireond]

It's like a journey of discovery!  What will break next?

 

Stay tuned Kiddies!

[reyler]

Why yes, now that you mention it, they are bringing back The Magic School Bus.

[Ireond]

Any word on how they'll do it?  3-d high res animation, or in the fashion of the books and the old show?

[reyler]

CGI. Suppose I can't blame them, as I believe it's faster than the 10-month turnaround on traditional animation.

[Ireond]

Yeah.  And as long as the shows are just as well done, I think it'll be fine.  Each new medium brings its own strengths and drawbacks, of course.

 

 

Someone was telling me a ivy league school had found out they actually had a book bound in human skin.  That's surely an odd medium to work with. 

[reyler]

Speaking of using the human body for arts and crafts, did you ever check out that church I linked you to?

[Ireond]

Yes.  And I get a Marriott discount as an Employee, so I was also looking at nearby hotels that I can stay at and see it in person

 

It was oddly beautiful.  Macabre, of course

[reyler]

That last bit pretty much sums up a proper goth way of looking at the world.

[Ireond]

It's not an inaccurate way of looking at the world.  

[reyler]

Better that goth than the variant consisting of overprivileged white kids complaining about how terrible their lives are. I think they've moved on to calling that emo now, though. Of course, some people call emo on anything where someone is unhappy, so I guess there's no winning and everyone should be eaten by giant squid.

[Ireond]

Not lantern fish?
