Spam Sillyness: Reborn!

[Gaius]

This is indeed an accurate image. There are a number of others, too, such as:

- Sitting in a rocking chair on a front porch near the giant pile, shotgun at the ready.
- Sorting out the good candy from the bad into neat, tidy stacks, aided by an adding machine.
- Diving and swimming around in an enormous room full of candy like Scrooge McDuck in his money vault.

[Lanadyr]

Or you can mix and match and have dragons swimming around enormous front porches filled with adding machines.

[Keltres]

An unwise combination. The combined body heat of so many dragons would melt the candy, which would then ooze into the circuitry of the adding machines, leading to a short circuit and a massive electrical explosion. Worse, with the adding machines out of commission the dragons are now free to steal as much candy as they like safe in the knowledge that you've lost count of how much you're supposed to have.
Far better to send the adding machines for a swim, and have the dragons do the adding up.

[Gaius]

Wait, adding machines are electronic?

*Wikipedias*

Hunh, so some of them are indeed.

But wouldn't this new arrangement just lead to new problems? I mean, asking the dragons to do the accounting is rather like asking the foxes to guard the henhouse. It can work out great, but only if one expects to see a final tally of "zero." Or I guess films it and then goes for reality TV or blackmail.

Really, I'll just be happy if everyone contents themselves with what they've got and doesn't go bashing on any brightly colored paper-mâché repositories. >.>

"Reality" TV show? With dragons? I'd watch that...

[nightwolf714]

Reality TV show with dragons would be awesome. XD

Sorry I've been AKF. Halloween coming up, work, and I just had a convention this past weekend. I'll be alive again soon!

[Gaius]

Yeah, I could actually see myself watching a reality show with dragons. Hell, that might redeem the concept of reality TV. Who cares if it's scripted? Dragons!

I could see it actually working pretty well with lots of supernatural things. Reality TV show with wizards? Vampires? Werewolves? Chupacabra? Fair Folk? Hippogryphs? Eldritch horrors from beyond the stars? Leprechauns? I mean, I guess the market could get saturated after a point, but that point'd have to be pretty far out.

And glad to hear things'll soon lighten up for ya, nightwolf. And also that two-thirds of the mentioned items keeping you busy sound indisputably fun!

[nightwolf714]

Well, I love work, what I'm doing and where I'm at so that's not too bad.

Actually, I can see it as a generic fantasy group. Like one dragon, a unicorn, a fairy, etc. All housing together. Oh gosh, now I really wanna see this happen!

[Gaius]

Ah, great! ^_^ Was hoping you did, but the contrary is a regrettably common sentiment. Also, I seem to have said "two-thirds" instead of "at least two-thirds," as I'd meant. Oh well; all the better!

And just glomming them all together would resolve the saturation issue, alright. I'd go for it.

[Lanadyr]

*comes back from store with a ton of deep-discounted Halloween candy*

[Gaius]

As is right and proper, Lanadyr! Quickly! Seize it all, before the stores replace it with Christmas candy!

I mean, it's already November 4th, so it's probably already too late, but the bounty is worth the effort.

[forgerofsouls]

Here is an anime music video I found and like...do be warned, contains blood. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIFHnn_ ... ZNBGkGcrcQ

[Lanadyr]

I wholeheartedly recommend deep-frying turkeys.

[Gaius]

Amazing as this sounds, it was about all I could do to not, well, glut myself to death the past few days. x_x Thanksgiving is glorious and dangerous both. </firstworldproblems>

In other news, I have found this neat video. It evidently spawned a fandom more-or-less overnight. Enjoy!

EDIT: And oh boy, is it distracting that the URL text color is the same as the standard text color. ^_^o Resorting to underlining for the heck of it.

[nightwolf714]

Oh wow, that video was awesome!

[Lanadyr]

*now rhythmically bobs head during every action, no matter how trivial*

[Gaius]

@nightwolf: I'm pretty fond of it, too. ^_^ I have watched it far too many times since I stumbled on it.

@Lanadyr: That's the way! This is the most valuable life lesson it has had to teach. Spread the good word bob!

[Keltres]

Careful, excessive head-bobbing may lead to identification as a new species of Wagtail, which carries the risk of leg-ringing in the name of science, and being eaten by predators. Pet owners should take particular care.

Someone help me remind me of this, I meant to change that but I keep forgetting about it whenever I have the time to actually do something!

[Gaius]

@Keltres: A first-rate public service announcement. Exceptions can be made in the case of haunted mansions and a final chance to reach out to one's beloved, but there are risks in all things.

@Gaeva: Eh, no biggie. It'll get fixed when it gets fixed. I guess someone could joke about it by filling every word in a sentence with hyperlinks, but, oh... What are the odds?
