The Not Happy Thread

Drugs are bad, Pacman.

 

Cocaine's a hell of a drug.

 

*Cue that generic dramatic opening music* In a world...where even the bombs are raci- I'd better go before I derail this thread to a point of no return.

 

Well, it's OK, because I have all the information I need to deal with a fallout!

 

My fantasy is driving me nuts, as now it wants me to write solely from Mishu's perspective when before each chapter was from the pov of another character. Gah!!

 

I know everyone else has had some serious shit going on in their lives, but what's really annoying me right now is that one of my characters just won't shut up! I know I made her that way, but it's supposed to be annoying for the other characters, not for me! Please shut up, Jasmine, I'm trying to get somewhere near the halfway point of this chapter before I turn sixty-four!

 

Just an idea.

 

She's thirteen!

 

I strongly suggest this, then.

 

Not your usual breath-play hood, but hey I like breathing so no thanks.

 

@Sclavus I guess that's one way to remove your eyelashes and eyebrows (owowowowouch!)

 

It's actually from an article about "casting" your own head for plaster to create a mask. Apparently you're supposed to cover everything but your mouth and nose with plastic, then duct tape over that. The plastic will supposedly make it easier to remove the duct tape as a whole and preserve the shape.

I still wouldn't do that kind of thing alone. But for a character who won't shut up, taping their head would be the least of my sins. Normally I just shoot them.

 

My neighbor's stereo is 'bout to have a tragic accident.

 

@Sclavus I have never seen them use duct tape and a bag in the casting process
of a persons head. Must be using the wrong kind of casting material or something.
As for characters that won't shut up, I think they are already dead or at the same
nasty gulag Marckus is at. The kinda place where they are not so nice as to just
put a bullet in your head.

Sounds like you are about to have a new stereo too.

 

I haven't, but I really should. Saw Oldboy which is kinda based on it,

 

@Cave Troll I don't know if the stereo is going to survive the totally accidental seventy foot drop.

 

@Jipset thats cool. Still haven't seen that movie though.

@Sclavus No, not much survives 70feet aided by gravity.

 

Seventy feet opposed by gravity, however....

 

Either way, I don't think it's gonna be playing obnoxiously loud redneck music after the Shriner's Convention parade, a PRIDE festival, two political rallies, a biker's convention, a Miley Cyrus concert line conga line, and an ice cream truck somehow--by total coincidence through no influence on my part--get detoured through the parking lot over said stereo.

 

These are different things where you live?

Huh....

 

Only just.

 

On my way to work, just before midnight, on the busy Interstate 10 highway, my tire decided to blow out. So in the middle of the night on the way to my graveyard shift, my car stuck on the gore while cars, trucks, semis and everything in-between rushed by me, I was forced to change my spare, in my work clothes, which are now torn up and unusable (oh yet I still have to use them tonight since I have no other clothes on me). On top of that, I'll have to go to Walmart tomorrow to dish out for a new tire, and I won't be able to visit my dying father until that's done. To whatever higher power there may or not be looking over me right now "F**K YOU!"

I'm so tired of this BS...

 

Actually, I don't think it's as dumb as it sounds. First off, there's arguably no such thing as a dumb question. This is assuming they weren't joking.

More importantly, the logic of the question is in the right place. Our military is supposed to defend us. This is where a large bulk of our tax dollars are going and it is something many voters think is important. Therefore, it's not insane to want the military to defend us from something that can hurt us, even if it's a hurricane. The idea of using a nuke, if dangerous and supposedly ineffectual, is just one example of an attempt at geoengineering*, something we may find ourselves needing to do in the future.

*"the deliberate large-scale manipulation of an environmental process that affects the earth's climate, in an attempt to counteract the effects of global warming."

 

When it rains it pours man. When it rains it fucking pours.

Keep your head up though, m8.
