If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

I randomly had the idea of writing a fake scholary paper using Future Imperfect in which the author of the paper is trying to figure out the philosophy of Eliezer Yudkowski based on a few surviving quotes, as if he were a pre-socratic figure.
Do it.

I'd go out and say it even if it wasn't describing me just to dick over the author for using the small penis rule.

I still regret not seizing the opportunity for a Pretty Cool Guy statement in Imipolex G's "Death" It Just Awes Me thread.

Though I would like to say "I think Death is a pretty cool guy. Eh throws sickles and doesn't afraid of anything." just to see the reactions at a philosophy club.

It's astounding how many wars were turned around by simple Deus Ex Machinae.

For instance, Henry V dying in a siege, or Tsarina Elizabeth's demise...

INT is knowing a tomato is a fruit. WIS is knowing it doesn't belong in a fruit salad. CHA is convincing people that it does.

Except that statement would lose any impact because I already specified which Death I would be talking about.

It amuses me that there's a pirate-themed Power Metal band.

I want to enjoy it, but I CAN'T

@mellon: They should do the Goukaiger theme song. Except they might not be Japanese.

fucking fuck I just can't take pirates seriously. Fantasy is one thing but pirates... Argh I can't get over this. Why do I have a double standard

It is!

Nevermind, I think it's because the lead singer sounds hilarious. It's not just the subject matter, it's the delivery.

Random thought: A mad scientist builds a weather-machine to sinister cackling and grandiose showmanship, with the expected reactions from the surrounding superheroic populace.

As his plans are about to be foiled, the mad scientist quickly finishes the machine and turns it on...only for the only effects to be a light shower, as it turns out that the scientist was building it under contract for an agricultural corporation and he just wanted to fulfill his supervillainistic childhood dreams without actually harming anyone.

The story ends with the scientist in court on order for causing a fake uproar and is made to pay a rather small fine.

So instead of shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater he shouted "Water!" in an open area?

Nah, he's got his machine on a roof-top with electricity arcing and him cackling and milking the giant cow and all that...and when he presses the button it's just a bit of rain and not "THE BLOOD OF GOD TORRENTING UPON ALL YOU LOWLY PEONS!" as promised.
