So can I call you Dave?

El Rigo: So can I call you Dave?
Nope. I only respond to "Shane" or "Bane" or "S Bane N".

... I guess I'll finish this post in a way that I didn't think I would have to.

Fighting on, fighting on

The bright yellow sun

Shines on in the sky

Fighting endlessly at day

Resting peacefully at night

With a sword by his side

The Warrior knows no fear

And then I'm going a bit overkill, probably, but then again, There Is No Kill Like Overkill tongue Also, this is entirely random. And not a haiku, if I had to guess correctly.

Against Nappa a mysterious person went

Charging her power to 4500.

Transforming into an unknown state,

She literally went over 9000.

Why she went over it literally,

The tower had 10 000 floors.

Her power level skyrocketed

To 12212 without any peace.

Firing a single Fireball destroyed fifty islands

Nappa saw her power and began to cower

A single Dragon Slave overpowering a Saiyan

As Nappa was burnt to a crisp.

This Dragon Slave flew up to the top

Where the mystic Dragon Balls were.

These were not real, however,

But she didn't care - she was there.

(This post will probably reveal the truth.)

@ Shane: Since you don't like hugs, can I give you a silent and dignified party hat instead?

It features a silent and dignified narwhal giving a dolphin the finger. Don't ask me how, it just does.

To the waking world I say,"Aha!"

Hello. I'm new here. I like video games. I'm reading Homestuck (act three :3). I like Eminem, and other stuff.

I have a question. Is there a thing on this site where you can try and look up a trope if you don't know the name of it, but you're not sure if it exists or not? I'm asking because if there is a page for the trope " close encounters." Not the movie, the trope.

So, hi!

I tried to post a link to Wikipedia, but it made my post say "Sorry, new accounts cannot post links."

And I need an avatar...

I tried, but the only results I got were for the movie.

Should I make a YTTKW for it?

I think you should post in lost and found first, just in case.

Yup, Lost And Found is where you go to try and find a trope you don't know the name/existance of. New accounts can't post external links as a spam prevention measure, but you could try surrounding the link with [= =] — the escape sequence that means it won't be parsed as a link. Probably not a good idea to do anything other than That Other Wiki, though!

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Then you'd have killed me. Why would you have killed me? The reason is in bold-italics.

Party? I never had a party. Ever. Not even on my birthday. Thus a party hat would just send me into an Unstoppable Rage.

Hang on.

I'm still new here (because I can't post without having to wait for ten minutes to go by) but I can post external links. Does that mean it's a glitch or something? Random example: External Link

Different measures may or may not take different amounts of time to go away. Someone linkspamming is probably quite easy to catch. The mods won't be specific, though, so just enjoy the ability. :P

[up][up] Not necessarily. I could hug you in such a way that causes a shitting of the pants, which would not necessitate dying.

@Tel(I'll assume that this is an acceptable nickname): Oh, just that long? Yey, I was worried that it would take a month or something.

@Bane(since I already called you Shane): Well, you aren't missing anything. My last birthday party mainly consisted of me crying, being forced to stop, being interrogated, and then being forced to cry. And so on.

I still like party hats though, even though I've never been given one. So if there comes a time when you'll think party hats are alright and won't send you into an unstoppable rage, I've got tons in my cabinet just waiting for someone to wear them.

Well. That came out creepier than expected.

I'll enjoy it so much that even a giant toaster-thing will cower in fear [lol]

Said giant toaster thing is Balrog from Cave Story - some people just like making mods with him being called a toaster.

... Your username actually gave me an idea evil grin (for example, Skymeow, Purrcloud, Catwing)

Pretentious Sky Cat: Well, you aren't missing anything. My last birthday party mainly consisted of me crying, being forced to stop, being interrogated, and then being forced to cry. And so on.
Actually, I am. The only present I really ever get is money. From my grandparents. And then I never get to use said money for myself because it ends up being used by my parents for themselves. I actually never got a present ever, not on my birthdays, and not on Christmas.

Pretentious Sky Cat: I still like party hats though, even though I've never been given one. So if there comes a time when you'll think party hats are alright and won't send you into an unstoppable rage, I've got tons in my cabinet just waiting for someone to wear them.
... Reason two: I had a nightmare when I was four years old where I was killed by a clown. Said clown used a party hat to strangle me. Why I remember said nightmare, I dunno, because I have the memory of a dried trout.

Pretentious Sky Cat: Well. That came out creepier than expected.
It doesn't seem creepy to me.

... Hey, new tropers.

I cannot believe none of you have warned them about the Hopey Tumbleweed/Tree/Kudzu.

[up] does it count as a warning if it's coming from Hopey?

...I'll do it then.

Watch out for Hopey.

@Sky Cat: that sounds an awful lot like my sweet sixteen.

I'll take one of those party hats though.

I've just kinda given up trying to warn them. It's not like they'll listen or anything. Not until it's too late.

I guess we could go... wherever we please.
