Pago Pago, American Samoa Superthread

[Axver]

AND
I just caught up on the last thread and saw Alison's post about THEREMIN CIRCULATION.

This needs to be drawn. Later, when I'm actually meant to be doing the essay.

You should in fact hand in something about Theremin Circulation as your assignment.

 

[Slopsy]

I swear, if I just slipped "theremin circulation" in there once, they wouldn't even notice.

 

[Axver]

They may just assume you've discovered some new technical term. Too few people are educated about the existence of theremins.

 

[Slopsy]

...I need to get into oceanography and coin this term somehow.

But no, wait, that would mean getting into oceanography. Ew.

 

[Axver]

You don't want to study deep sea floor sediment and how theremins got to be down there?

 

[Slopsy]

Goddamn I have so much MS Paint inspiration right now but there are *lowtone* people around who might see. I hate not getting the computer where I can sit with my back to the wall!

 

[Axver]

No, no, I think all these people need to see theremin-related MS Paint artistry.

 

[Slopsy]

All these people wandering around trying to find a computer, glaring at me because I'm not doing work (hey, I have my essay OPEN) ... I'm pretty sure theremin art is the best way to mystify them/piss them off.

I'm doin this thang.

 

[Axver]

We all know that they aren't going to be doing anything half as awesome, and that whatever they do will likely contain apostrophe abuse. You are doing the right thing for grammar by keeping these people off computers.

 

[Slopsy]

What?! You don't want them to write more essays about how "Steven's (1989) claims that land is of utmost importance to New Zealander's"?!

(That hurt to write that. )

 

[Axver]

I can still top that. The guy who wrote the town of Oaklands as "Oakland's". Every time. Not one of them was even a possessive. "Today I was in Oakland's."

 

[Slopsy]

FFFFFF-

 

[Slopsy]

...

I'm not as talented as I think I am, am I.

 

[Axver]

Cool, dense theremin!

Oh my god.

 

[Slopsy]

I will never look at a thermohaline diagram in the same way ever again!

 

[Axver]

I am disappointed by the lack of theremins on the standard thermohaline diagram.

 

[Slopsy]

If my parents ever do a textbook on Oceanography, I'll be sure to sneakily switch the diagrams!

 

[Axver]

And work in as many blobfish as possible.

 

[Slopsy]

On that note, I'm off to oceanography for a session with Excitable Sediment Woman.

 

[Axver]

That sounds like a condition she needs to get treated. Meanwhile, I'm off to discuss History with my supervisor.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

A few postings today it seems.

AND IT'S THE WEEKEND.

 

[Axver]

And I just got offered a new place to rent!

It's nicer, has so much more room, and the location is truly excellent. I may turn into a dugong though, as it's literally a minute's walk from my favourite pizza place.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Grab it by the throat, Ax!

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Doves.

 

[Axver]

Pigeons- wait.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

 

[Axver]

I hope there is a tribute band for Doves called Pigeons, though. I'd respect that so much.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

But do you respect the Doves? I take it so.

 

[Axver]

Eh, wasn't much taken by Kingdom Of Rust. It wasn't bad, I think I ranked it in "decent listenings", but I haven't played it again.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Well I thought it was a bargain with $2.47 for the remainder of the album (10 songs).

Son I am not disappoint.
