I just found out that the lead singer for a Metal band I liked just died a few days ago. I'm really bummed out.

I'm still a Rocky Horror "virgin" (that is, I have never attended a traditional screening) at 22. This greatly disturbs me, not least because of my prodigious, er, solitary habit (that is, I have the DVD and watch it like I would any other film (plus practice callbacks...please ignore the end image of that idea within the singular slang structure of Rocky denizens.) [lol]

I lied my first time and said I'd seen it before.

The theater experience is not a great way to see it for the first time, what with all the talking over the movie.

The new Bejeweled game "Ice Storm" has Accidental Nightmare Fuel. The only sounds it makes are the sounds of a strong blizzard when you get a "game over." surprised

I like to keep my audience riveted.

Alright, I'm fishing around for ideas for what to review because, yes, I'm doing reviews of stuff on TV Tropes. Anybody on this thread willing to give me a hand?

Trans rights are human rights. TV Tropes is not a place for bigotry, cruelty, or dickishness, no matter who or their position.

Why is the dollar sign represented by an S with a line bisecting it? At least cents makes sense with the c.

I guess you could ask the same thing about why the pound is represented by some weird E and F hybrid.

or why Americans call the number sign the pound sign for some bloody reason

Warning! Major Writer's Block TNT Shockwave Recovery Imminent!

That is, a would be wall of text I can barely split into chunks here (7 solid years'll do that...literally. Fellow writers, hold the gasps please.) NB: Potholes and such gingerbread require more thought than I really want to give right now...a flood like this laughs at markup. Later, though. (That and less than 10 min left on the timer...damn public library sad. K, here goes... *deep breath*

Is it bad that I enjoy watching the Edit Banned thread every now and then (to the point of Archive Binge once...yep)? Not only that, but it's one of many historical tangents I went on. I've only been here since 2014 (little background because why the hell not? I recently had seven years (literally) of writers' block :I'm 22, and literally read the dictionary for fun as a kid. Never actually entered a spelling bee despite the cliche being floated more than once (Akeelah And The Bee didn't quite exist yet (because at my sharpest, even back then, it would be rather unsporting, to say the least). Basically, I'm that kid who would have been the Jerkass "smart kid" cliche...

Aaand there goes the timer...nearly but same thing lol. Will return to this soon (and try to edit a bit in the process...chunks or no...amirite, Hamiltonian writer/tropers?

Later...OK I lied a [lol]bit

I guess you could ask the same thing about why the pound is represented by some weird E and F hybrid.
It's an Ł, ya bampot. A longhand capital L with a dash, from the Latin "libra" (pound). Also explains how the crazy Ł./s./d. division came to be - someone must have been on LSD!

Also, I posted a truly magical photo in the Photos thread and nobody cares. :(
