AA < 77, then 22 < Kx and Ky when the board misses them COMPLETELY but double-pairs. thank god for the Ky.

Cappy37 · April 21, 2008

Sorry Q, forgot about this place. On those razz hands, you just need to run better. You got action from Q49 and a 'made' Jack-Ten low. You did your part, Lee didn't do his. The only other option is to go hyper-agressive, but your stack size pretty much negates any chance of that being successful.I haven't played as much razz recently. I kinda figured out that it was an upside down version of the game I loathe (stud hi), and have been focusing more on 1/2 and 2/4 LO8b cash games. I do play some horse at those limits, too, but sporadically. Anyone I exploit in the split games usually gets most of it back in Stud Hi and LHE. lol.I miss the $1-$3 donkaments greatly, but my schedule doesn't have 4-hour stretches to play anymore, so I make do with jumping in and out of cash games to get my fix. I miss tracking progress through OPR, too. Helped to keep me motivated.

i think i have cashed in 5 of my last 6, but a curious phenomenon continues. i generally do well chipping up with 15-10 left, then work the final tables when down to 6 and fewer. however, EVERY raise/shove lately is running into a big pair or a strong ace & they obviously call. i play crazy tight to start each sng & generally get respect mid/late.i am hoping this trend stops soon. it... disturbs me.(in a 4th, i twice pushed Ax & the guy behind me had a baby pair AND flopped trips both times to take me out. 4 handed. pocket pair every time.)

Well, it's not rocket science. Skill gets you deep enough for you to get lucky. You always have to have some things go right, no one plays "perfect poker" and even if they did, they would still need a run of cards. Don't look at it like "EVERY raise/shove", because you won't remember all the little things that got you where you were. Those times you bluffed with the best hand, those times you bluffed with the worst hand, those times someone actually tossed A5 in the big blind when they could have hurt you. You only remember what you see, not all the unseen things that work in your favor. For every time 44 would have flopped trips, you would half lost more than 10% of your stack without position/betting lead/showdown value 7 of the other 8 times.And it really made me chuckle to relive those hand history from that epic $3 turbo. I've never laughed so hard in my life. You were running like a Kenyan Tomato that night. :club:

qyayqi · May 4, 2008

yeah, i try to step back after i vent. there have been a few places along the way where i sort of fatalistically got the chips in when i could have folded, telling myself, "if this is a cooler, SCREW POKERSTARS!!" i think i learnt this during a previous downswing, but it has been said that man is destined to repeat himself. beware the cooler, take time to think through the action.and you are correct, i just re-read the hands up there and it brightened my morning!

hmm, why do we not raise that turn?and i won't be posting that bustout hand. i hate his limp from UTG, but once he did it the rest of it was standard. i was more surprised that the BB folded, i should have been lined up to attempt a triple there.in place of that hand, i present THIS hand. i figured if i shoved, his calling range is wide. going for cheap flop & minraise HAS to make him think i'm milking his manboobs, plus it is harder for him to put more money in post-flop if he whiffed it all.Converted by NautilusPoker.org - [view this hand on the web]PokerStars Tournament #87812529, $2.00+$0.20 Hold'em No Limit - Level XIBlinds 400/800, ante 75 - starting pot 1725 CO B Gill T 5745 (3.3 M) button kimini37 4455 (2.6 M) SB qyayqi 3045 (1.8 M) BB Hunus44 15165 (8.8 M) UTG mrm0jojojo 5355 (3.1 M) UTG+1 bowerranger 8650 (5.0 M) HJ luckyshane 23720 (13.8 M)Dealt to qyayqi: PREFLOP: 5 folds; hero calls 400; BB checks; FLOP:hero bets 800; 1 fold; hero wins 2125

i did not know there was an originator bike in the army thread. it is interesting to see the difference in reactions to it when it was originally posted versus when it hit the cat thread.

i liked the episode of pimp my post.

i did not like the exerpt of the joey post on no-pounds' blog. it just didn't do it for me. please try harder.

the apologies button was terrif; ouch's point about the sickie button was spot on-- black text over a yellow smilie button after the other 5 white on black would have been the twist ending to send the audience home happy.

i fear we will soon cannibalize each other for thin humour until we are nothing but bones. what happens when this falls to page 2? page 3? ouch's bump was good stuff, but still the thread plummets.

speaking of alternate spellings....

[Q]From Steve Gearhart: "Where does the term baited breath come from, as in: 'I am waiting with baited breath for your answer'?"

[A] The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it's so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there's every chance that it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: "She hasn't responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath".

It's easy to mock, but there's a real problem here. Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the unstressed first vowel (a process called aphesis); it means "reduced, lessened, lowered in force". So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing as a result of some strong emotion, such as terror or awe.

someone (accidentally or intentionally) says something that is very funny. people see it and laugh. they use it, and get a couple more laugh. those people who found the re-telling funny also re-use it. people see it and laugh, more at the memory of the original wittiness than at the now thrice-recycled version. they now repeat it in the wrong way to generate a twist on the original without having to be very clever themselves.

now the original has achieved 'classic' status. people will refer back to it, and without doing anything witty at all they are able to get most of the herd to either laugh along or at least clap to acknowledge that the teller has enough brain cells to remember something from days/weeks/months ago. eventually there is no humour, but the clapping serves to encourage people to still re-use the joke.

a poker story, so skip if you aren't into poker stories:

after switching from the 3.25/45 turbos the 6.50 version, i went 1st and 3rd in the first three, then proceeded to lose every game thereafter to give it all back and return to the 3.25's. in a flash of brilliance, i hung a horseshoe over the bedroom door to 'catch luck'. i used finishing nails. horseshoes are heavy. when teal returned to the bedroom one morning after showering, the horseshoe fell, striking her atop the head. i heard the thwump and investigated. yup, unconscious. i had my way with her, then revived her with some cool water. so now we know: they work! none of this story is true. other than the massive sharkscope downswing.

another story, and a cautionary tale of how interweb humour may not translate to real life. this is me talking to a co-worker about an absent 3rd person, we'll call her A.

cw: A is pretty good looking.

q: well, she's getting a little old.

cw: huh? she's 22, man.

q: exactly. almost time to trade her in for two 11 year olds.

i'm liking the magazine, and look forward to the other 28 pages of glee. the shun cleaver seems like a sign of the times. a knife used to be enough, but after weeks of shun minimalism a cleaver will give a more visceral satisfaction when someone gets trapped.

when i'm too lazy to find the link to picture-shun outside this thread, i use this:

SANTOKU

the tomato 'joke' (loose use of the term) stemmed (zing) from a crew/team thread of some sort. i chimed in with Team ATo and the obvious avatar to poke fun at the glut of teams/crews that were afoot. during this time, i posted some advice for wang in the sick thread & renae said tomatoman was right. it was amusing to me, and that's all that really mattered.

so... i kept the tomato theme. i have found tens of tomato pics for various situations. the whole quail man thingie was a joke on me, as i did not know that is who this particular tomato was supposed to be. i was looking for silly tomato pics & found it. when someone mentioned it, i googled it up. i did not confess to my ignorance at the time. consider this post my confession. i have now confessed.

whoah. that magazine is from exactly 1000 years ago. 1000 years ago there was a group of those who shun with the exact same names as those who have gathered here, 1000 years later, to celebrate the euphoria of shun. does this occur EVERY millenium? for millenia without count? well, if it does... it sucks. qyayqi was supposed to be unique among names. now i am just another q. thank god i am (in all likelihood) the most handsome qyayqi.

you are correct, nav. it seems the thread is nearing the end of its life span. i don't know if giving in to no-pound's request to let sa21 have his shining moment in the s(h)un will breathe life anew in to it.

if the interview does not make the pages of the magazine, i think the morally correct thing to do would be to paste the interview somewhere for the rest of us to read. we deserve it. i'm also interested in seeing how nav writes up the qyayqi article in my style. Just Do It.

at one time i thought about writing a parody of the novel stars in my pocket like grains of sand. it was tentatively titled potatoes in my pocket like lumps of coal. the original novel did not sell well. the author, samuel r. delany, never did write the planned sequel (he had intended it to be a science fiction diptych). a parody of a book that sold to a very limited audience would have had an even smaller audience. so i gave up on it.

samuel r. delany wrote mostly sf, but he also wrote several 'pornographic' novels. for completeness i bought those. i have most of his novels. somewhere buried in the hideout is an exerpt from one of these, wherein a character pierces the head of his penis with a nail. it was pretty goddamn unpornographic. thus i have chosen to put pornographic in quotes up there to indicate that application of the term to these novels is dubious at best.

The Bad Beet

{voiceover} i'm lieutenant ted needleman. call me needles. this is my story, the story i always tell when i get this tired. and this drunk.

it was a tuesday. i was walking the beet in central park. it was a bad beet, but better than those rotten carrots back in lockup.

i said to the beet, i said, "walk is almost over, we turn up here and head back to the precinct."

he replied, "i'm a beet, man. a beet. not a turnip. when you prick me, i bleed red."

"then don't be a prick, son."

he stopped, and stared hard at me. "i'll be whatever i want, the long arm of the law will never keep me down. a leopard doesn't change it's spots, and this vegetable ain't changing colours for noone. it's the nature of the beet."

i was certain there was a space in that word. 'no one'. i didn't press my case. we soon got back and i locked him back up.

he called out, "hey! copper!"

"copper needles bend too easily, try steel."

"stealing got me in here, man. you trying to entrap me? i just want to know: am i getting out of this cell any time soon??"

"amoeba you will, amoeba you won't. that's up to the judge."

i left him there to stew, surrounded by the voices of the ukrainians locked up next to him who were hungry for borscht.

thought for the day: sony needs to make a case for the psp. that case should have a glass inset, making the screen visible. then, they should build some bluetooth stuff into the case with a detachable headset, thereby transforming the psp into a mobile phone. huh? huh?? brilliance!

fictional "conversation":

man: did you go out last night?

woman: yeah, i had a date. it went really well.

man: go on....

woman: he took me out for an amazing dinner at that new restaurant, orchids&die. the chef is a god amongst mortals.

man: go on....

woman: yes, yes, i'll just get tothe part you want to hear. i let him put his "penis" in my "vagina".

man: ooo... wait. what? did you air quote penis and vagina?

woman: well, yes.

man: what does-- what the HELL does that even mean?? you can't air quote there.

woman: what do you mean, can't? i did. so there.

man: but what does it mean? you can't put the actual terms in bloody air quotes. you could maybe say he put his "sword" in your "scabbard". or his "hoohah" in your "hubbahubba".

woman: <laughing> those last two aren't even words. i'd never quote gibberish.

man: BUT THE AIR QUOTES TELL YOU THEY ARE EUPHEMISMS FOR PENIS AND VAGINA!!

woman: don't be like this. look. he put his tongue in my ear. i was just trying to make it seem more... naughty. are you happy now? god, you're such a "prick".

man: YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN!!

the avatars were chosen in the 11th hour. the original plan was to re-render it with av's specific to someone that final tabled a WSOP event. i later decided that i was an e-val whore and three weeks of effort deserved its own goddamn thread.

probably less than an hour after i posted it, i realized that the specific nature of the intellipoker avatar would have been best served with 22 as his hand.

hopefully the next one will be inspired by something with a little more substance & the whole cast will show up. though the ouch8 character has lost something with a certain avatar change on the forums.

i probably won't join in the voice chat thingie. i also disagree about making the animation worse instead of better than the previous effort. unless someone else is doing it, in which case go hard. i'm hoping each project i attempt is a step up from the previous one, incorporating new and novel features of the software. i have an idea for the lip-synching, it won't be perfect but it'll be better just an open mouth.

if we went with a written script, everyone could record their portions separately & i could mix it down to a single track. but whatever floats your boat. (separate tracks can also be placed with an illusion of stereo sound.)

... hi, suited. with joey down for the count & rod missing in action, you better be goddamn funny. that's all i got. i feel formlessly depressed, but it usually passes in a few days OR when i win a sng.

no idea how long it'd take to animate 15 minutes. there is no deadline on funny. it will depend on how much/little i think needs to be animated in each scene. whatever the content, try to make it funny to an audience larger than 7 6 5 4 5, please. it'd drive me crazy to animate 15 minutes of dialogue that no one wants to see (outside this thread).

>>>---<3--->

12:09

i'm sure you are correct, navyb. not about the hugeness of the audience, obviously, but there are definite elements of correctitude in your assertions. i'm staking out a more populist position early in the magnum opus in hopes that our final results are not wholly esoteric.

yeah, i'm not so sure i really had a point, other than being annoyed at bumped threads. maybe i was thinking it takes much less to keep genpo amused than i have put into the anim & the cats. but doing another summary would just be wrong. i wasn't even sure that a 4th was a good idea. i don't want to go to the same well too often.

that said, i think this last one turned out about the best in the set, mostly because i took the time to plan it all out (though i screwed up on the et tu brute one, used 'confused' to describe hubdub rather than 'hurt'). i looked back at the first one & remembered how disgruntled i was with the result even as people were saying it was good.

i may be more pleased with some of the story stuff i tried that kind of slipped under the radar. meh. i guess i'm still flummoxed.

07:50

if ouch8 retires completely & posts using jubi, it'll accidentally top the thread and perhaps introduce some serious shun opportunities. <sharpening blades> if we previously went from the shun kitchen knife to the shun cleaver, i reckon we're getting close to needing a shun battleaxe or guillotine to satisfy the hunger.

>>>---<3--->

13:20

i was drawing conclusions based on current trends, not suggesting we fake a bump. you really are retiring the nick, you really are one of the select few posting here. to continue posting with the new nick is an obvious conclusion. if i wanted it to be a conspiracy to top the thread i would have said "accidentally" and smiled wryly, perhaps with a wink. much power there is in air quotes when used correctly. incorrectly used, they are a menace.

possible animation if i can get it together & done in two weeks:

set aboard the space station, we see two astronauts staring out a large window at the earth. it is above europe.

ass1: is the earth really that big?

ass2: indeed. it is real, and it is spectacular.

ass1: you're right. and we're masters of it.

ass2: of the entire universe.

ass1: what do you think they'll find at cern today?

ass2: god. or a lot of navy buttons. i can hardly wait.

ass1: don't you know what time it is? wait no more! they're firing it up in 10 seconds.

[10 seconds of 2001 buildup music]

[europe disappears. parts of earth black out until it looks like skeletor's head, then it too vanishes]

[pop sound from song 'pop goes the world', then the music from it under the rest of the scene]

[stars start going out. eventually the window is completely black and lifeless]

ass1: goddamnit.

ass2: don't whine. i win! ship the meerkat!

ass1: well, at least we ordered our hoodeez. made with 100% cotton, available at--

ass2: just give me my 20 bucks, man.

ass1: double or nothing on it reappearing in the next 3 months?

ass2: done!!

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

06:31

thanks, runt & o8.

the next one will be done at leisure, and SHOULD include appearances by more of the cast.

a brief synopsis of a possible animation that might maybe possibly be next:

1. on the set of a talkshow, "artsyfarts with navybuttons". he introduces his next guest, Q. q comes out. they talk a bit about current projects. q insists he is giving up comedy for more serious rolls. navyb questions the ability of a man with a tomato for a head to make people weep. q says something like, "that's why we hired THIS guy! roll the clip!"

2. very roughly, 3 people are chased by a pack of angry shunners. one of the three has an onion for a head. only it is obviously an onion mask, and it is in fact q. he sends the others on, and stops to confront the mob, buying escape time. the pack surrounds him. he challenges the one with the biggest penis to battle. they all look at el guapo, who steps up to accept the challenge.

EDIT: tempting to put in a moment where someone pulls out a gun. "back off, man. i have a gat!" "a... a what?" "a gat." "i think you mean a gun." "nah, we messed up, but got the new word added to the dictionary." "great. like gun was so hard to say. thanks a lot, bigd, you and your damn non-proscriptive english." then someone kicks away the ~~gun~~ gat, and...

3. wire-fu moment, with painfully obvious wires that get tangled. one of the two combatants wets himself (not sure which yet), urine splatters on the ground. q wins, but one of the pack promptly whacks him in the head with a calculator. flurry of activity, then cut to onionhead (obvious stunt dummy) laying on ground in puddle of red. jjj is seen in the background carrying away the bottle of ketchup.

4. pull back. the pack is standing around weeping over the death. o8 rolls up and asks, "who was this great man, that his death should affect everyone so deeply?" "it... it's the onion... can't stop crying...."

5. back to the studio. navyb is underwhelmed. still have to work out the ending.

EDIT: possible line in item 5, "are you sitting HERE trying to tell the MAN IN THE PEA COAT what's serious art?? I DON'T THINK SO, SIR!! I DO NOT THINK SO!!"

onionhead

10:04

i read the comments, JiLL. it is of some concern that i see shunning out in the world. first the unepxected giraffe, now this. are we so powerful that there are others seeking to emulate us? are we a pale reflection of some previously unknown shun masterpiece?? inquiring minds need to know.

>>>---<3--->

Monday, AUgust 11th, 2008

04:34

thanks for posting that, navyb. yup, pretty much exactly right. i like the idea of his head floating necklessly above his body.

i think one of the 2 people that q saves will be female. with big bazoombas. when he sends them off to safety, he'll say, "you two get to safety, i'll buy you time!" he'll be pointing at her bazoombas. after an awkward silence, he'll move his hand up to point at the two people.

runt, i haven't really come up with a quirk to make the runt character come to life in my imagination. ouch8 gets all the action because the whole rock idea is amusing to me. i'll consider the pic you posted, but i reserve the right to draw the character however i think best. which so far has been to steal navyb's ideas, first the tomato for a head and now the stylized no-pounds. you may want to get him to draw you.

>>>---<3--->

09:33

after the bazomba moment, may have:

woman: come back safe, i'll be waiting with "open legs".

q: whoah, awesome! wait. did you use air quotes?

w: yeah, i guess i did.

q: they don't work like that. you don't air quote what you're really going to do.

w: so they worked exactly right.

q: i-- uh... goddamnit.

w: look, i was just giving you something to look forward to. i'll still give you a hug.

q: just get me a donut, at least i can eat my way to the hole.

man: oooo!

w: shut up, jerk. let's go.

at this point i'm logging ideas as they hit so i don't forget. i would definitely like to work the air quote bit in somewhere.

05:28

"Ha ha, very nice sir. You are the man. I will get back to you in the next few days."

this was rdog's response. it leaves me thinking that the humour was quite probably too esoteric <pointed glance at navyb> for the hoodie wearers amongst us. a "hahaha" or a "lol" would ba a more sincere laugh. that space makes me think he stared at the animation rather blankly, asking himself, "cern? what the hell is a cern?"

in fact, that is pretty consistently the response i have gotten outside of here & the LLY thread. i'm okay with this, makes me feel superior, and by extension everyone here should feel the same.

navybuttons: welcome back to artsyfarts. i'm your host, navybuttons. today's special guest... missed his flight and is unable to make it. in his place we have kwee... kwahhh... kwickee? in his place we present Q, who appears to be milking 10 seconds of youtube fame for all it is worth. in fact, i think we can all agree that if we could have gotten a cow in here instead, watching it get milked would have proven more interesting. ANYWHO, here he or she is. Q.

nb: good evening--

q: ahem. kee-AY-kee. qyayqi. he or she? if you check in my pants, you'll see i have an outie.

nb: ... yes. well. i'm sure we can check that later.

q: I'M sure we'll just take my word for it.

nb: ANYWHO... we're told you are a bit of a youtube comedy sensation. how is that working out for you?

q: i'm glad you asked. my legions of fans have been tickled pink by my cutting edge humour.

nb: have they put up videos of said tickling and turning pink? i'm sure we'd love to see the pink get tickled.

q: well, no. wait. what?

nb: onward! do we get to experience your 'comedic genius' today?

q: no. definitely not. i have put comedy behind me and am focusing on more serious projects. something that'll make audiences weep.

nb: i'm sure that'll work out great, woody.

q: what?

nb: onward! tally ho!!

q: am i missing something?

nb: serious business is serious. are you really sure that a man with a tomato for a head can ever make people cry? (although talking to you is almost bringing me to tears....)

q: a-HA!! this is why i am directing my next masterpiece.

nb: oh, really?

q: yeah, really! we scoured the country and found an amazing new actor. roll the clip!!

we have over-domesticated our dogs. this means they would have no survival skills if they were released back in to the wild. this puts the onus on us to protect our dogs.

the same is true of cows. well, growing up on the farm i came in to contact with a group who were in to cow fighting. they'd raise these cows to fight. give them a taste of blood. 'blooded' was the term. once a cow has a taste for violence, it reverts. becomes feral. many a feral cow escaped these trainers and formed packs that would rove through the forests and terrorize the townsfolk at night.

the actual cow fighting was... time consuming. it could take days for one to take down the other in the four-sided ring. well, the square. they called it the ring. (i once went ring-shopping and asked the clerk for a square. that ended badly.) eventually, a rule was added whereby once a cow fell asleep the owners of the other cow could knock it over, 'killing' it. (note the correct use of air quotes-- the cow was not in fact dead, merely stunned.) this brilliant rule changed the fight from days to at most 18 hours. cows need their sleep, my friend, cows need their sleep.

if ever you are travelling in the country and hear the clunky clang of a cowbell, run. run, and don't look back. alternatively, you could also drive if you have a vehicle. set a rule for yourself where you will run only if you have no other conveyance faster than running. beware the feral cow packs. they hunger.

navyb, i understand being satisfied at the end of the day if all your decisions have been good ones-- the rest will take care of itself. playing turbos, i expect a higher number of swings-- in the last swong i mostly laughed it off as silly hands would go down. the thing the last 3 weeks that has blistered my buttocks is the number of hand where i shove late & the guy behind me has a monster. i'll have to work on my emotional response to it, as it has affected other parts of my game the last week.

s. subtitles. southpark.

perhaps southpark is not ideal, and another s show/movie clip would be more appropriate. s is far enough away that a search for a semblance of significance should be suitably slow and steady so serious stuff synergizes.

>>>---<3--->

12:10

yessir, strip the original soundtrack & have subtitles. put some sort of semi-applicable music over top. assign different characters in the clip to different fcpersonas. the choice of southpark was to have the clip recognizable to enough people. it could really be any s movie. serendipity. seven samurai! santa claus: the movie. saving private ryan. saw. you'd have to be on the lookout for a clip in an s show/movie that has enough at work for the subtitles to play against. the hitler poker one was pretty well done. there has to be something out there that can be spun up with some fcp flavouring.

i believe it is pretty easy to generate the subtitles.

ai robots equipped with lasers would be a Bad Thing. even if the 3 Laws of Robotics (or similar) were programmed in, they could just as easily be programmed out. switch a chip, rewrite some code, and you have a precision killing machine.

the robots in movies miss too many shots to be believable. if a robot can move at the speed of, say, a terminator, it sure as hell won't be missing with 9 out of 10 bullets. the speed of the robot would dictate how well the targeting system functioned. most movie robots move faster than humans, so our pitiful attempts to dodge down the street would be hopeless.

religion starts with an idea, and insists that the universe conform to it. science starts with the universe, and tries to figure out hypotheses/rules that conform to it. religion will ignore new information or force it to fit with their idea. science is constantly revising their list of rules as some break or new information is gathered. religion refuses to accept that they can be wrong. science often accepts it was wrong.

most things can be looked at from either of our PoV's. we can either construct a set of similarities or a set of differences. we need the other DA folk to determine which set is more or less valid. to me, your arguments are more amusing mental gymnastics than anything.

explain to me how "science is nearly always wrong." it certainly hits dead ends & has to backtrack or try new directions of research, but it tests & retests itself to form building blocks of knowledge from which to explore further.

was there not a recent poll where a significant portion of religious americans still believe the earth is flat? if all priests believe that the earth is round and not the centre of the universe, they are withholding that information from their congregations. then again, religion works best by embracing ignorance, whereas science tries to overcome it.

once we no longer fear death, religion will lose it's hold. HOWEVER, i am not against religion. it can be quite valuable when it gives humans a moral compass. humans tend to devolve toward the low road when there is a choice without consequences. not all, just the majority. if it takes a higher power to encourage brotherly love, then i am all for it. religious leaders too often mistake any higher power as being their own power, and act as the "Voice of God" for selfish reasons.

i may try the aoli without the spice (page 2) rather than with the spice (page 7). i'm flipping through many recipes on recipe sites (rather than recipes on murderdeathkill sites, i suppose) to get a general idea of what i think i want. i could still go with the basic sal recipe for stinky disaster. we do not have fishmongers here in the middle of the prairies, so it'll be from the fish section of the local supermarket.

someone should run a d&d campaign in a thread, and have it go in some completely zany direction. interactive fiction with an OT twist of lime.

>>>---<3--->

11:58

a dungeons & dragons campaign can be run via a forum. it means significantly more work for the dungeon master who would take care of die rolls & such, but it allows players to have minimal or no d&d experience-- as long as they have a good imagination.

posts are done either IC (in character, actions to be taken or dialogue to be spoken) or OOC (out of character, if there are technical things they want to ask the dm (dungeon master) directly). on here it could be as simple as having IC stuff all bolded so it can be skipped to easily by the other players.

it doesn't have to be a fantasy setting, which would free it up for the whole OT twist. set it in the present, or one of nabu's many futures. make it sword & sorcery set on the GTA4 map.

it can be almost anything. the dm gives seting & backstory to the adventure, populates the world with some NPC's (non-player characters), then the players all have a certain amount of time to outline their actions to drive the story forward. the dm incorporates all player actions into the main campaign.

back on the old bbs's i was involved in a couple campaigns & wrote software for one bbs system to make the dm job much simpler. i also played in a live campaign for several months & ran a couple live campaigns that (sadly) only lasted a month or two each.

HOWEVER. the idea here wouldn't be to run a by-the-book dice-determine-all type of campaign. it would be to have fun with a multi-author story that is loosely controlled by the dm but allows things to go wherever the players want to go providing it is amusing, and stays in 'character'.

i only suggest it because i saw you mention d&d somewhere. i expect this will go to the dogs much like our magnum opie.

as a co-worker was getting ready to leave work the other day, she was telling me about her plans for the evening. she started unbuttoning her shirt, and until it was unbuttoned far enough to conclusively see that she in fact had a second shirt on under it to wear out to the bar i lost track of what she was saying. when i asked her to repeat it & got the "were you even listening" look, i had to explain that she couldn't reasonably expect a guy to concentrate on two things at once when one of them is, "she's taking off her shirt".

i enjoyed parts of the plays, nabu, but i openly admit i wasn't in the right mindset for the style. made me think of 'waiting for godot' until i remembered that i've never read that whole play from start to finish. i then decided that a better comparison might be some of the works of donald barthelme. (better in the sense that i've actually read his stories and can make the comparison, versus comparing the plays to my imagined version of the above play.)

i googled up ole db to remind myself of some of his works, and came across his wiki entry:

In the December 2001 issue of Harper's Magazine, writer Paul Limbert Allman accused Prof. Donald Barthelme of orchestrating the 1986 attack on Dan Rather, citing unusual passages in Barthelme's writing, including the phrase "What is the frequency?", a recurring character named Kenneth, and a short story about a pompous editor named Lather. Allman admits that he finds his own theory "difficult to accept," and that the assailants could also have been "loose cannons armed with quotes." [1]

i found this rather amusing. if i am reading it correctly, it was an attack of the literary quotes upon dan rather, with fisticuffs. if even one of my writings here achieves anywhere close to the status of j3's sperminator story, i will have to arrange something similar where fcp'rs descend upon an unwitting suspect and pummel him or her with nerf bats while singing out quotes from my epic story.

i don't understand what you don't understand about the d&d stuff, j3. luckily, i am already losing interest in the volume of prep i would need to make it work.

vb will be his name from this point both onward and offward. vb. definitely vb. catchy 2-letter name.

i was running/playing badly this evening, then someone suggested some play money to vent. i loaded 40k a couple times, then ran it up over 1 million. run like god in play money. i hate poker.

blew out of a live tourney w/ a bonehead call, then A5 < Q3 when the guy shorter than me decided it was time to go and shoved behind me, then something random w/ 500 chips at 200/400. AND i left the interior light on in the car overnight, thus draining the battery. lovely. absolutely freakin' lovely.

when i called for a boost, i told them i'd need them to break in to my car, then boost it. because the remote door opener wouldn't open it w/ a dead battery. after hanging up, i looked at the remote door opener built into the key and thought, "q, you haven't thought this through. there is a VERY good chance that this key will open the door & give you access to the hood release." i told the guy when he arrived that i found my other key.

the car isn't old, the car isn't new, the car is borrowed, the car is blue. it has a club for the steering wheel to prevent theft. when teal was explaining it to me she said, "it works the opposite of the one you're used to." i looked at her and asked, "you mean it makes it easier to steal? that's not very good." i got hit.

nabu, if your thread is a pre-emptive d&d one with dice rolls, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG!!

if a mod edits your post i'll be FURIOUS. i messaged two of them months ago about editing no-pounds' post in here & they said it was absolutely 100% against forum guidelines for them to edit a user's post. if they ruined something spectacular on a whim & are now editing you post... heads will roll.

i'm liking the story, no-pounds... but i'm not sure if your target is audience is us or your woman. if she enjoys nascavampirotica, i'm thinking you're shooting wide of the mark by poking fun at it. however, makes for a good read here!

it was somewhat weird to see parts of what i wrote appear in another place. it jolted me out of the story.

EDIT: the early bit about him putting his hands on her waste was a little icky. she pooped in the gym? bleah, not where i hoped the story would go.

my computer has been spontaneously rebooting for a couple days. i have now replaced the installed 250w power supply with a spare 520w one i had in a different computer. PLEASE let this be the goddamn fix. my next guess is something wonky with the RAM, luckily i also have spare of that kicking around.

runt, i like the concept & execution... except the hammer to the head at the end where you explain the joke. i think it is better served w/o that bit. let people suss it out for 24 hours, and if nobody gets it someone from here can chime in with a "lol stuntposterament" or something.

runt, have the dog get run over by something after the stunt, thereby ruining your chances. or you save the dog, but it urinates on you & you drop it at her feet. as long as the story is fake, you can play out the end without spelling out the gag.

thought: build a compartment into the underside of rear spoilers (on cars), have it unlock when the car (with this rear spoiler) starts. have a window scaper in it (the compartment in the rear spoiler attached to the car). thus, you can command start your vehicle (with the rear spoiler containing the scraper), then grab that (scraper in the rear spoiler attached to the car) to do the windows before ever getting in (the car, not the compartment under the rear spoiler).

in the above (above the above thought), i just mean in general. like my brain isn't fully processing stuff, not bringing the funny-- or much of anything-- lately. not sure why i'm even posting. a couple REALLY good sleeps will perk me back up, i'm sure.

i thought to myself that godomy would be a good word. someone beat me to it:

1. Godomy 24 up, 3 down love ithate it

The sin of the Godomite.

Someone who's become so deliriously happy with having god up their own ass that they try to forcibly shove god up your ass as well.

Godomy is not religion-specific... It refers to ass-rape performed using any dietic being as an insturment of displeasure.

Jim: Why, you're walking a little funny today, Bob.

Bob: *whimpers* Godomy. Ow.

Jim: Wow... Did you hear what Pat Robertson and President Bush said today?

Bob: I did. That was some serious godomy.

j[super]3[/super] - i think the nod from runt was for setting up his 'done' joke for him to knock down in OT, and nabu's was a more tongue-in-cheek agreement, numbered to mimic my numbered response in his genpo thread. i did very little to be the best ever, but i'm okay with that.

thanks, vb. i was pretty pleased with that part, too.

teal is in the hospital. she has been having hella pain for a couple days. her doctor thought it might be her appendix & got her into the hospital. turns out it could be an ovarian cyst. they'll be doing more tests tonight/saturday. she wants to go home; i said f that, let them do their jobs.

tealsea is her initials. the cyst was large/embedded enough that they had to take the whole ovary. she is home. weak and sore, but home.

her baby factory still functions. we have no plans to make babies. the backup ovary is important for a variety of hormonal balances; if it goes down, she'd be on a variety of pills for many years. so... no more blasting of the ovaries.

i feel a surge of creativity on the horizon. if i don't divert it all to mirc scripting & navel gazing, it could mean a resurgence in my animation for fcp nation. or a variety of one-liners that vanish into the fcp maw.
