You know a forum is getting dull when one of the prime entertainments is in the test forum... :)

So much activity on a thread that seems to be about nothing and everything... It's not as bad as it seems.

And :done:, I have replied to this thread too.

I think this test data is incredibly relevant.

Why, if it weren't for all I'm getting for this test I could never finish the...

...thing...

Yeah.

you are a fount of wisdom that is just bursting with enlightenment for all....what would we do without you....

oh yeah, bake cookies
If you were to juggle a lion, and a house cat, the end result would look something like a tattered chunk of red fabric. The cat would scratch anything within reach, and the lion would just eat you. The lesson to learn? Make sure you eat your spinach.

No, we couldn't bake cookies. Without Silentiea, we wouldn't have any cookie baking knowledge. We wouldn't even know how to be bored!

Falconer, that is perhaps the most true thing anyone has ever said about me.

Well. Sometimes. I can be very on topic at times. When it suits me.

That being said, this is my thread, my test to do with as I please. Every word that comes from the Prophet's mouth in this place is another riddle that will try you to the very bowels of your soul.

Specifically, its colon.

Really? Good to know. Do they call you anything else derogatory?

This is for the records, so please, be sincere.

Nope, a tomboy I may be, but definitely not a guy. I figured my character and screenname, Ersska, would give that away. But, then again, you can't always go by that. . .

But in real life, I do get called 'sir' a lot although I don't exactly have a boyish figure.

Insane, Dragon-Boy, Twig (because I'm to skinny), and Cueball.

Those are only a few of a pretty long list.

Wow, do you live anywhere near me?

...kidding (maybe). I get called:
Gigantor (can I help being 6'3"?)
Sir Clueless (grudgingly conceded)
Late for dinner (kidding, I've never been called that)

Dragon444, the secret to not being called Twig is to just do what I do, always wear at least one sweatshirt and long pants, even in the summer. Obviously, this takes some acclimation, but it's worht it, especially when you're tall and skinny.

The bark on the tree were as soft as the clouds,
The wolf sits below, hungry and lonely,
If only, if only, he cries to the moon...

In other news, I've decided I can tell what flavor blue is now. Not, you know, definitely. If it's cooked badly or if it has too much season I won't know, but other than that, I'll recognize it if I taste it.

Falconer: Ha ha! I'm probably not your type. ;P I reside in Alabama, though. Very pleasant place. 6'3", you say? Wow. . .Don't feel bad. I'm about 5'8" or 5'9". Not as tall as you, but still pretty tall for a girl. A guy I know used to call me "grandaddy long legs" (you know, like the spider) when I was little (you can probably guess why :wink:).

@Ersska: You'd be surprised at what my type is. And I like tall girls, since having to bend down to hug someone is a literal pain in the neck.
Alabama... nope, don't live near there, but I a saw the movie. And, because I'm a nice guy, I won't make you listen to me sing "Sweet Home Alabama", as I'm sure that every Alabamian is getting tired of hearing it.

@Silentiea: How does the rhyme from Holes have anythign to do with the taste of blue? And why am I even trying to rationalize what you said?

I saw Martian Child once. Should remake it under the moniker "Marsian Childe." Things to do.

The rhyme from holes has perhaps nothing to do with the flavour of the colour of blue. Other news of the same sort as 'and now for something completely different'.
You know. Like when they announce the winners of a recent sports match right after they tell you how that building exploded once. Or something.

I'm 5'5" (sorry if that's a little out of order).
I eat about four or five full meals a day and do nothing but write, read, and play video games (and that doesn't count the Wii). Yet I have a six pack, well muscled legs, and a sharp mind.
Now where's the logic in that?
