some kind of druid dudes lifting the veil

Dear wikipedia,

I could have spent the last hour writing my swashbucklathon fic instead of reading through your list of nautical terms. In fact, I daresay that would have been more profitable, considering that I gleaned very very little from that list. I just wanted the name of a random line that could potentially snap without causing anything major to fail. Where ( Read more... )

fic, life, donkey

You're missing the major point there: apparently, civilisation starts with dinosaurs.

Allow me to repeat: dinosaurs.

Take that, traditional anthropology! Do your theories begin with dinosaurs? No? You lose! Civilisation starts with dinosaurs, n00bs.

(Except, of course, it doesn't. Everyone knows that civilization properly starts with one unit of settlers.)

Well, it does make it easier for my sister to decide between anthropology and paleontology as a career, because apparently they're the same!

Maybe she just meant very polite dinosaurs. But I think a T-Rex would have a hard time holding a teacup with his pinky out, since he only has two fingers in the first place. Also, I'm not entirely certain that his arms would reach his mouth.

Possibly, but I think that "Curse you and your sudden but inevitable high tea faux pas!" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Yay, swashbucklathon! :D

tears_of_nienna November 20 2006, 05:58:57 UTC

Yay, indeed! You have shamed me into action with your massive success. :D Although I highly doubt my fic is going to hit 14,000 words, or even a third of that.

I haven't even looked to see if the fic for me has been posted yet. It's my incentive--when I post mine, I'll read the one that was written for me. Otherwise I won't have any sort of motivation at all.

...Can you tell this is my first ficathon? XD

vulgarweed November 20 2006, 06:06:21 UTC

Heh, I didn't mean to go that long! I just got saddled with a very convoluted, plotty bunny. I had to write an outline and everything!

Not much has been posted yet, really. I think there's going to be a flood in the last few days.

You know what'd be awesome is a fic with pirates and dinosaurs in it!

tears_of_nienna November 20 2006, 06:39:38 UTC

Pirates fighting dinosaurs! Pterodactyls as aerial reinforcements! Plesiosuars versus the Kraken sea monsters!

...Yeah, shouldn't have had that last Coke. *spazz*

PS: Have I ever mentioned how much I love the mauling plotbunny in that icon? Because I do.

I reeeeally hope that that girl isn't a geology or even a science related major. Because that just sounded a whole lot of stupid on her part.

tears_of_nienna November 20 2006, 06:35:38 UTC

Nah, with that much stupidity in her she's probably Integrated Language Arts. *facepalm*

...Also? Sorry I haven't been online much lately. Last night turned into drinks night, and I'm staying at the Donkey tonight until it starts snowing outside. XD

jeditrilobite November 20 2006, 06:53:12 UTC

Intigrated Language Arts? Sounds like UVM's EnviroSci major or Norwich's Criminal Justice programs. I guess that would explain the lack of scientific knowledge.

And eh, no worries, I'll be up late ostensibly reading, (currently watching Veronica Mars) and staying up late because, I have no class nor work to attend. w00t!
