Larks, this is Starcraft.

You just made my day. I lol'd - literally.

LMGTFY is not quite appropriate here - that's more for when someone is asking a serious question that could easily be answered by googling it. Larks was not asking a serious question.

I imagine the reason I am into hockey is because my city has a good team, not to mention a player who is arguably the best in the game (Larks, I'm speaking of Sidney Crosby) Duke, you pay attention too! But that argument is flawed because I live in Pittsburgh. The Steelers have an incredible history and fan base but I couldn't care less for them. Hockey is just a great sport and is as such in a way that is completely independent from baseball, which is also a great sport.

 

Little known fact, did you know the word "Hockey" translates to Canadian stickball in other languages? Well maybe not but there seems to be like 1 or two Americans who play the sport.

 

 

Larks, this is Starcraft.

 

Not my type of game, judging from the screenshots, it looks like it came out of the 1980s.

 

Speaking of the 1980s, Far Cry 3 blood dragon is a total bust, It just makes no sense, too sci-fi and lines are cheesy as hell.

Strategy games like Civilization and Crusader Kings, otherwise I'm pretty stuck on Skyrim.

You like Crusader Kings as well? I haven't met many people who even know what it is.

Nothing to see here people, I am just making one of my rare appearances in Forum Games.   Move along.

Let's see if we can scrape nine players together for our softball game tonight. It being friday, people tend to bum out because they have other plans...

You should go pro, and when you retire, work for Stats LLC!

I need to find a green vest for a costume, and none of the shops I've checked nearby seem to stock them.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

I am going to request some chicken soup for dinner this week.  Sinuses acting up, unseasonal coolness, yes, chicken soup it will be.

 

EDIT: 'stro': what, kind of costume needs a green vest?  Green Arrow?  An elf?

You can always order something online. To the internetmobile!

Final Fantasy I Thief.

 

I have a couple of friends going as White Mage and Red Mage.

[Duke87 1,070]

I thought Thief had brown clothes... and blue hair.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Well, if he looks anything like his avatar then he'll at least have that down pat.

So earlier today I had a sexist customer... she specifically wanted one of the girls to help her... I was slightly amused and a lot offended.

 

Also, I thought the Let me Google that for you thing was just a funny little joke, and Astro I love Crusader Kings! I'm probably terrible at it, but it's a ton of fun!

[Duke87 1,070]

Some context might be helpful on the "I want one of the girls to help me" story. Help her with what? There are things where there are legitimate reasons for wanting same sex assistance (as an example, if you work in a department store and she wants help in the underwear section...).

[astronelson 339]

Chptrk: I usually start off fine, and then everything sort of collapses after a couple of decades.

It depends on the version. In the more recent ones he has a green outfit with brown hair.

Sorry, probably should have added that I work at a bakery and it was ordering a cake. And it wasn't even a "dirty" cake... Oh well, once I'm really "one of the girls" I'll have to find a way to mess with said customer... if I ever see her again, that is.

[Craig-Abcvs 1,595]

9861

 

OK I have to admit that asking for a particular gender to serve you in a bakery is a little odd.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

Men just can't bake the way broads can.

Do I dare ask why a cake would be dirty?

They dropped it on the floor and quickly (observing the 30 sec rule) picked it up and put it back on the shelf?

Some people are particular about weird things for weird reasons. Maybe this woman is hypersensitive to having men make advances at her and goes to unusual lengths to avoid interacting with men as a result. The fact that Chptrk is transgender adds a wrinkle to the situation and perhaps causes additional offense, although unless you've started making cosmetic changes she couldn't be expected to know that.

[Chptrk 86]

9866.

 

I haven't made any cosmetic changes yet, and I'm still a guy most of the time, especially in public, but with close friends is a different story. Most everyone at work knows that I'm transgender now though. But yea, there's no way the customer could have known that, I kinda laughed a little on the inside thinking "If only she knew..." So I didn't really take offence cuz of that, but my friend who's FtM gave me a hug and said not to worry about it and I just like his hugs. Now I'm rambling...

 

But yes...dirty cakes... I'll leave that to your imagination, larks.

[NMUSpidey 3,956]

9867

 

Yup, that pun leaves me lost as to what to say next.

 

EDIT: not 'pun,' double entendre, perhaps?

Highlight of my day yesterday: bird vs. windshield at 55 mph - windshield 1, bird 0.

I went for a drive around the rural areas around here yesterday. Everything is in bloom, including fruit orchards. Simply gorgeous.

9870: Well frankly she needs to suck it up and deal with it. That is some serious psycholocial problem and if you don't wish to have a man serve you, you are either a. being very rude or b. need to sort something out. Neither is acceptable anyway IMO.

Back on topic. Nothing much round here, but it's getting real cold and the big tree out the front is shedding it's leaves. Beautiful, but I have to pull leaves off my car every day now..
