Randomosity

First topic message reminder :

I wasn't really sure what to put this sort of thing under... so I figured "Randomosity" would work; a thread for any random, not exceptionally important thing you want to mention to everybody can go. If any of you special peoples can think of anything better to call/do with this thread, go ahead and do it.


Now, on to what I wanted to say. Did any of you celebrate Earth Hour? March 28th, people around the world turn off their lights from 8:30 to 9:30 PM their local time. It's really awesome, because it conserves energy, and also makes for some amazing pictures of whole cities and even sections of the world blacked out. I celebrated it, and my siblings and I had a ton of fun running around and acting crazy in the dark.

Oh, and apparently the idea originated in Australia... so therefore it's inherently cool, right?

This picture. xD

I... *goes into another fit of uncontrollable laughter*

Wow... it took me three tries to fully complehend the awesomeness of that joke. That constitutes an incredible gag!

And that is what makes England so magnificent.

I read it three times but did not get it, and still don't. I don't know, maybe its me.

'Kay Neerav, I'll try to explain it for you. xD

So, the innermost box thing (with the picture) is supposed to be something issued by the "Council of Australians for Uneducated Americans"-- hence their fun little logo in the corner-- just making sure everyone knows that people don't actually ride kangaroos in Australia.

The middle box thing is responding to the inner box; it says "Of course not. Everyone knows that you ride from the pouch." So said by the "American Assembly for Identifying Stereotypes Of Other Stereotypes Through the Use of Sarcasm." So basically they're using sarcasm to say "Yeah, we already know that, Americans aren't that stupid any more than you ride kangaroos."

And then the outermost box (the "Bloody hell, would you both be quiet" one) is from the "Royal Society for the Repression of Idiots in Former Colonies"... which is supposed to be some English organization for combating idiocy in its former colonies, telling America and Australia (ie former colonies) to shut up.



Whoo, explaining jokes is fun.

I'm glad you all found it amusing. 8D

And I had a feeling you'd just love this, Roy.

Eeemeee, I very muchly so needed that explaining, relieves stress, you know? My good golly garsh-ness, it would've taken me forever to understand that without your help!

And this, well, this is pretty intense stuff: Pretty Intense Stuff.

Chatterbox, I played that Wow Wow Wubsy game from beginnning to end. (Curse you for showing it to me-I used to have an free Flash game problem). Pretty intense stuff when made for preschoolers. That robot chicken end boss is hardcore!

Well..I like teapots..and...well...stereotypes are a bit crazy..I dont like crumpets!

Ah, I wish I had time to play Nick Jr Games.

You've done a great job, Roy.

Well, that would go a long way in explaining his glazed eyes and vacant expression...

I was tying to make a joke. The internet is apparently NOT for sarcasm.

But that's what the Look of Online Disapproval is for.

So... anybody watching the Olympics?

I have been... but more excitingly, I was just up in Vancouver and it was incredible!

Didn't actually go watch anything (wouldn't have been able to afford a ticket ), but because I'm just around two hours south of Vancouver, and I have relatives who live there that let us sleep at their house, we just figured-- hey, let's go up and see the city while the Olympics is on!

Twas absurdly crowded (the queue for the zipline thing was over eight hours), but with the awesome skytrain, getting around wasn't hard at all. I saw the flame-- the queue to get a good view of that was crazy too, but luckily my aunt works at a building right next to it (she can see it from her desk) and she let us go up to the balcony of the building and take pictures there.

We also went to the Olympic Store at The Bay... there was a lineup just to get into the store, let alone buy anything. But I got a CANADA shirt and a cool pin, so I'm quite happy.

And the other awesome thing is that it was quite obvious that there were people from all over the world there. I saw lots of flags-- Canadian more than anything, but also American, German, Norwegian, Australian, Russian. And I also heard snippets of a whole bunch of different languages. Twas quite quite awesome.
