Soap wrote:I keep my porn and my conlanging notes together. You see, I like to draw porn in my free time, and Ive gotten quite a stash of notebooks filled with it, but sometimes I get bored and fill the page with inflection tables or sound changes. Sometimes my parents see the notebooks and they assume I'm having fun with porn, which is OK with me because I would be really embarrassed if I had to tell them all about conlanging.

Too bad they didn't take the alternative, and just let themselves be ruled by whores.
It makes you wonder what scepters are for...

You whined when people didn't quote you enough.

LinguistCat · Post by **LinguistCat** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 8:18 pm

It isn't a matter of not being quoted enough. I wasn't quoted on this thread at all until I quoted myself. Which was really just incidental to something amusing Turtlehead wrote.

Unless you count where people quoted comments I made to this thread as being quoted in this thread. I don't.

What's he saying? Is he saying that he's an elf and that the answer is evident to all elves but not him, except he's an elf too?

Nuntar is correct. However, it's actually very funny if you know where my avatar comes from.

Risla · Post by **Risla** » Fri Jun 29, 2007 8:38 am

Yeah, I know. Is making fun of typos (especially when the typoer's avatar is so delightfully relevant) bad?

Turtlehead wrote:I always have Sushimi before my exams. I think all the omegas in the fish will make me smart, also apparently the salmon ate the nine hazelnuts of knowledge, so I guess eating salmon should make me smart. Other supporting evidence, Japanese people eat raw fish and Japanese people are smart, so hopefully I will be smart like an asian if I eat asian food.

Considering it's Turtlehead, I just can't tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or not.

My new sigquote:

Space Dracula said not wrote:They're not perfectionists, they're just aliens.

From post-LCC2 dinner today, during a discussion of how the English Channel was scooped out by inattentive aliens using a giant unobtainium shovel-shaped thing attached to the front of their saucer.
