The PPC Posting Board - Latest posts

I spent twelve hours yesterday looking at couches so I could write a story. Does that make me weird, or normal, or what?
Anyways, onto something funnier than my (lack of) social life-- a fic! http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4826152 trust me. It's random enough for this--I think everyone will like chapter five's section "Who's that girl?" Its lolz worthy.
And just to add my two cents--
ALL HAIL THE GOD-KING BABY! (Sluggy Freelance)

Anyway, my Bene Gesserit have infiltrated your Cult and they're making a new warp god! One that will serve me and me alone! Hahahaha!

My Agents are coming to rock the place.

Perfectly G-rated, kinda angsty-in-a-good-way. Laburnum finally has something go right.

HAIL IT all the same! Up the Evil Penguins!

THE SPICE MUST FLOW! All hail the Sandworms!

*poke* Welcome to the PPC!
A Sherlock Holmes fan? *can't believe it* GREAT!
Have a hug! *hugs*
And again, welcome. Here's your first ration of Bleeprin, and may the Sues tremble when you come to defend Canon.

I have seen the complete series a few times, and I wonder how the movies will be. The series is one of the best I have seen and the best American animated TV series I know, in my eyes.
So, yes, I will watch it! ^^

And may the agents that deal with this give the Sue a most painful death.

... What's a nurgle? Sounds like something I might find in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...
But wait, that was a gurgle blaster.
Anyway...
ALL HAIL NURGLE!

And I can feel my insanity level rising again... Wheee~.

It is completely impossible to tell what comes from where, because all the cocoa is mixed together by the time it reaches the consumer. Unless it says something like 100% Fair-Trade certified, or... I think Rainforest Trade is another one that's both ethical and environmentally friendly, you honestly can't tell.

The thing that I don't get is why it's such a problem to buy fair-trade chocolate and coffee. If it was, I don't know, life-blood or something, yeah, but this stuff is a luxury. It's not like we literally can't do without it.

I plug it sporadically throughout the internet.

Actually, the only thing I've noticed is that we've been a bit slow lately; not that many new posts, and not that many replies to them. It's like everyone's on holiday.

But by all means, throw a silly party if you feel like it :)

Please, PLEASE forgive me if I'm ruffling any feathers, but... am I the only one who's noticed that this Board seems to have gotten noticeably more serious recently? The overall tone of the posts, I mean. It started, I think, back in what I've taken to calling the "Bloody June Days" last year. You know what I'm referring to, right?

Anyway, most of it was concentrated there, but since then, I've noticed less mission plugs overall, more off-topic threads, several threads about political activism (which, while I applaud, has its time and place, and to me that doesn't seem to be here), and even a couple accusations of Suethor-dom.

So, at least to my perspective, there's been an observable drop in the crack? What's going on? I want my crack back...

For instance:

HAIL NURGLE!

I did an extensive Social Studies project on Cote d'Ivoire a few months ago. So yes.

I'm a bit miffed at the costume department for not keeping the color coding, and Katara in the trailer sounds a bit too much like Sandra Bullock in Prince of Egypt for my tastes, but I'm definitely seeing this, almost certainly in theaters.

I fully expect to be disappointed about the casting of Toph for the next one, but I've been wrong about that sort of thing before; see: Evanna Lynch.

...it does look like it's got the potential to be excellent.
That new trailer is excellent, and thank you for pointing it out -- I've been stalking the movie site for a while now, but not within the last month, so I would have completely missed it.
I do think they did some odd things in casting, but I'm not going to get up in arms about it, like so many people have been doing.

I will, however, lay in for a siege. : P Can you imagine how many more 'Sues the fandom's going to get over this?

*hands over a bottle of bleepka* Here you go. Gosh, that's horrible.

With fire, preferably. With *lots* of fire. Take a look at this--http://www.fanfiction.net/s/1159192/1/NewWorld In the first chapter, in her disclaimer section, she insults her readers by calling them stupid. Then she introduces a Warrior!Brat!Bitch!sue. Legolas sounds like a idiotic teenager from earth(on that note, so is the author). At least Thranduil isn't an evil!manipulative!bastard of a dad in this fic--thank Hades for small favors.
I'm just wondering-- how long will it take for some random elf to accidentally-on-purpose shoot the 'Sue and her men. I'm personally rooting for the latter, rather than a horrendous fangirl Legomance. Also in the first chapter, she threatens the warriors of Mirkwood, and the king, and the prince. I have to wonder why she isn't dead yet? Maybe Sauron's protecting her...
In the second chapter... well, lets just say that I wished the orcs had gotten her first. And that Kevin hadn't run out of ammo and shot his commander, also knowns as General Faith(a.k.a the 'Sue). I'm also waiting for Thranduil to throw her off a cliff, or for Legolas to beat him to the punch.
And that was when I stopped reading, because I was crying from the horror of the story.
Could someone drown me in the Fountain of Bleeprin now?

...cocoa beans are bought in bulk, mixed in from all over. Unless you buy exclusively Fair Trade, it's nigh impossible, really, for anyone - chocolate-makers and -eaters - to tell where each individual bean comes from. Chocolate isn't the only thing that has this problem; it's also a big issue with palm oil and other things, and for this reason I've developed a fear of having eaten something illegal...

...because you never can be too sure...

It would be called For SCIENCE!

I remember a thread here about chocolate and slavery.

I actually really, really love that show, and have for a very long time-- since the first season, actually. (Or 'book,' I guess.) And honestly, I think Shyamalan might be the perfect director for the job. He's made some bad films in the past, but he was good before them-- and this movie is kind of his style, I think?

Anyway, I think Sokka looks exactly as he should, and Katara sounds exactly as she should, and I absolutely love what they did with Aang's tattoos.

So yeah. Definitely looking forward to the release.

*glomp*

Congratulations on a fixed computer!
