The TSL Asylum suddenly starts to rumble and creak, like an earthquake is happening. However, the Manager knows this area is earthquake-safe, as no fault-lines(?sp) pass here. As he looks through the window, he sees a humongous crane lifting the Asylum-building. The name 'Phoenix Online' is painted on the side of the cabin of the crane with a telephone number. Calling the telephone number painted on the crane with his cell phone (since land lines have been cut due to the lifting) he gets told the whole area (aka Forum) is being (redesigned) but reassures him he will be put down in a special area reserved especially for him. The Asylum Manager leaves the Asylum via parachute and goes on holiday a couple of days.
/Previously
When he returns and looks at all the directions, he has no problems finding his home and he sees a signpost labelled 'Welcome to the Asylum' at the entrance too. "Nice", he thinks, indeed this looks like the area fit for the TSL Asylum, "Thank you very much Phoenix Online". However, when he arrives in this area there is no sign of the TSL Asylum. Luckily, when the 5th floor was built, there also was some kind of 'Beam me up Scotty'-feature installed for Staff which he decides to test just now. When he appears into his office in the TSL Asylum he notices abandoned buildings around. When querying the database as to where he is now located, it says 'The Dark Age'. When he tries to contact the building contractor again he gets an answering machine and no further response.
"This simply won't do", he says to himself, and places a few calls. Suddenly, in the Asylum-area, a new building arises from the ground. Unfortunately, floor 5 has gone missing completely, even though that was supposed to be the 4th floor's designation. So, this is floor 5.5, meaning it's got everything floor 5 had, but with a few new extra tweaks. The patients have also been moved from the old building to the new one, via the 'Beam me up Scotty'-feature, operated by the TSL Manager of course. Every patient's pc now has 'TSL-Episode One' installed on its hard drive, courtesy of the TSL Asylum's ICT-department. When a new Episode is released, it will be installed automatically.
Unfortunately, the Manager has no authority to 'sticky' a thread, which is why he hopes the 'Powers that be' would mind doing such a thing. Upon arriving in the area, he notices he also has a feature called 'Instant Message' he intends on using if he once again notices no response.
Floor 1-4 have been completely rebuilt, and now have the same features as floor 5.0, and the TSL Asylum Manager invites everyone to come visiting. He wishes to express that nobody can be 'drafted' as a patient before extensive evaluation. Actions can only be admitted for evaluation if done in this area called 'PoStudios Forum' and even then, if the TSL Manager is notified of these actions. He is a busy man these days.
I'm pretty sure I was never evaluated. I call shenanigans! How do you know I'm crazy if I was never evaluated? HOW DO YOU KNOW? *breaks down sobbing*
PS I think there's been tweaks in the building layout, I can't find the kitchen anymore. Snacks? SKITTLES! :D
You may not be crazy, but you're certainly crayzy! ::)
Luckily, we all jumped out before we were transported. :D
Weldon walks into the room, glances around, and gets a thoroughly confused look on his face. Perhaps part of his mind has somehow slipped into the hyperspace arsenal? In any event, it's clear he has no idea what's going on, so he takes a bite of his meat lover's pizza and wanders back over to the technical support building to wait for something to happen that he can comprehend. Or until he finds a million dollars in the arsenal, whichever comes first.
Is there like a member list from the old 5th floor? just so we know which patients are at large.

Hi crazies - just thought I'd come visit you all and give you my awesome salutations before casually walking back out the door again since I'm in no way crazy and have in no way been in the Asylum for several years.

Nice to see you, fellow sane person! Keep up the good work!
Tis a grand day to be sane, Mega Grey Ham!
Tis a grand day indeed, Roberta! And I must say, the EGA look is quite dapper on you!
I've never been officially evalutated before either, but I'm somehow here...hey, is that a hula-dancing cactus I see?!
Why thank you very much, Jafar - it's a look I parade proudly!
I was admitted before the times of "evaluations" - in fact, I was one of the people who the Asylum was originally built for... But don't tell CC that I admitted to that!
COPYCAT! MANGO IS SPOUTING NONSENSE!
Ooh, what sort of evaluation would this be? Might it involve those ink blots? Those always looked like a lot of fun.

Another new tweak to this floor is now the patient only needs to
think about the snack he/she wants and it will be provided to him/her by kitchen personnel. Naturally, other rules will still apply. However, due to the grand opening of floor 5.5 I am instituting one week of unlimited snacks, barring any important safety precautions of course. So, order what you want (food-wise) , this week only, but don't bother other patients, visitors or yourself or you'll be sent into isolation.
Quote from: Deloria on July 13, 2010, 04:54:25 PMLuckily, we all jumped out before we were transported. :D
There was nothing to jump out
of. A transport link was set up between my office in the old Asylum and my office in the new Asylum. Every patient was brought into my office blindfolded and accompanied by two guard cats. Transport was activated for all three and then every patient was brought back to his/her room in the new Asylum. So you see, absolutely no jumping possible.

Why do you need the kitchen? Furthermore, how did a live cactus get into this Asylum? That's a dangerous item! Something must have gone wrong during transport.

Upon relocating everything I have made sure past employees can no longer enter the kitchen through the biometric field, which now mimics the colour of the adjacent walls, so unless you know where it is, you can't find it. Kitchen personnel will only enter or exit the kitchen when there's nobody watching. If that tends to be impossible, there's always another plain biometric exit into an area only accessible by personnel anyway. That's actually the emergency exit, but not revealing the location of the chameleon biometric field is also of the paramount importance.
Also, there's no need to be concerned about lack of chocolate and sweets to the patients. Even on the 5th floor kitchen personnel made sure every patient had his/her monthly allowance of sugar. Unless this an attempt to be reinstated as Asylum personnel, but I must stress this is not the proper way.

Not bad, Roberta. What do you think the cactus should be called? She needs a name, I think.
I didn't say there were mice, just their holes.
Uhmmmm... if we're allowed unlimited snacks this week, how am I supposed to steal extra snacks? And since I'm pretty sure that's what I'm here for... I must be cured! XD

Beavis might be one of her weird nicknames. Of course, so is Gladys, I think. You'll never know her true name. :sneaky:

Well fine! But...wait...is it possible that Gladys is...TWINS?!
If that's the case, we were all wrong. Her names are Alexander and Rosella! *Lifts rice bowl to cactus* Welcome, Alex and Rosie! Here's to you!
It must be that she was accidentally teleported here from some alternate universe where Manannan kidnapped both Alexander and Rosella and then gave them a cactus cookie. Somehow, they have merged into one cactus.

You can't get into the kitchen anymore so your answer is invalid. You can dress up all you want, that won't fool the biometric scanners. You're both (still) not patients so you can enter the Asylum
as a visitor at all times.

Any mouse trying to enter Asylum territory is chased back out again immediately. So, they get no chance to make holes. If not the mice, who/what then would make mouse holes?
Why on earth would you want to steal extra snacks? AFAIK you're not a patient so you can buy snacks in a shop outside the Asylum. If I'm wrong, and you are a patient, I will remind you that such a thing would be impossible.

Well, Tess is still working on her escape plan, right? Something about a hula skirt and the cactus...?
Not an escape plan, though, more like a get-in-as-a-patient plan, since CC still refuses to make me one. :P
yea, this is one of those Asylums where people want to be in it.
I don't - CC seems convinced that I should be here, but I really don't deserve to be!
Tessy, how about you swap with me?
Works for me! :D
AWESOME plan, since you guys are twins! CC will never know the difference. :sneaky:

Telling you're a floating/flying smiley isn't enough?
You know, if you think about it, this whole section of the forum is the Asylum.
And yet this place inside the Asylum is the Asylum.
I think a bigger Asylum wandered along and ate this Asylum.
Do you think that within this Asylum, there is another, smaller Asylum? And a smaller one within that, and so on?
And within the smallest Asylum lives a dead rat. Tricky little fellows, they are.
Is there a teeny weeny Asylum inside the rat which he ate, and therefore died of insanity?
Actually, the dead rat diet mostly consists of Institutes, not Asylums. Though they have been known to snack on Asylums in the winter when their options are limited.
You've got it all wrong. The Asylum is on the OUTSIDE. They're all crazy out there, I tell ya. We're the sane ones, yeah, yeah, we're the ones who really see what's going on, yeah...

Wait, we were doing The Empire Strikes Back, weren't we? ???
Yes it was The Empire Strikes Back. I guess my mind started to wander off looking for cookies and forgot to finish it off.
Who is Billy in the Empire Strikes Back? I thought we were doing a One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest/The Empire Strikes Back crossover event.
And you know you're waiting for that movie with just as much anticipation as I am!
Billy was the only name I could come up with when I started to loose my mind. then Darthkiwi came with the star wars reference
So there's no crossover?? :(
Not that I am aware of but we can have it now. :P
Would you all murder me in on the toilet if I told you I've never seen One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest?
Absolutely not. It's usually watched in school after you're forced to read the book in English classes.
Then I consider myself lucky. :pleased:
The book, the movie, and the play are all good, actually, and they'll make you feel extra glad you're in THIS asylum. :P But it's never fun doing those things for class.
Anyways, I'm still waiting for the crossover movie.... The Cuckoo's Nest Strikes Back!

One of my favorite movies ever. I just bought the 20th Anniversary Edition the other day...There is a really cool ambigram (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambigram) on the front cover - the title text reads the same rightside-up and upside-down.
I also love the two images of Westley and Buttercup. So symmetrical and good. :)
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51%2BOCP1DUSL.jpg)
I've seen that one before! So cool! :D Unfortunately for me, I bought it on DVD when I was fourteen, so I own just the regular one, not the 20th anniversary one. :'(
20 years...hot damn, it's been almost 24 years now. This movie came out the same year I did. They shoud rerelease it into theatres for its 25th!
I was recently reading an issue of Scientific American Mind with an article about what your cultural tastes say about you. One photo in the article showed a German bedroom with a DVD of "Die Nanny" on the floor.
(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PTHEBWBEL._SL500_AA300_.jpg)
What an amazing co-incidence! "Die Nanny" are the exact two words that always go through my head whenever that show is on TV.
"Die" is the definite feminine article (nominative&accusative). It's actually not a huge coincidence because in AS it was þe (then a demonstrative pronoun, which, as I understand it, gradually replaced the definite article but has remnants, consider "that").
"Die" in English, on the other hand, is really, really interesting because it's not AS or Latin-based and they often borrowed and used euphemisms for death out of superstition. :yes:

Well, I knew it wasn't of Latin origins, but I had naturally assumed that like many short English words it WAS of AS or at least Germanic origins. If it's a borrowing however, it could be Pictish or even Celtic... this bears further investigation! :D What does darthkiwi say of its origins?
I kept him up until 3:30 last night, so I assume he's still asleep or just recently gotten up and I haven't had a chance to inflict myself upon him yet. :P

Quote"Die" is the definite feminine article (nominative&accusative). It's actually not a huge coincidence because in AS it was þe (then a demonstrative pronoun, which, as I understand it, gradually replaced the definite article but has remnants, consider "that").
I think you're pretty much right. The table for the definite article is:
Ma. Neut. Fem. Plur.
Nom: se þæt seo þa
Acc: þone þæt þa þa
Gen: þæs þæs þære þara
Dat: þæm þæm þære þæm
As you can see, "Die" (which is the German Fem Nom and Fem Acc, as well as the Plural Nom and Fem, I think) tends to crop up in Anglo Saxon as "þa", which makes sense since they resemble each other. The exception is the Anglo Saxon Fem Nom, which is "seo"; this is the feminine equivalent to the masculine form "se", which means "the".
Now, about death:
The Anglo Saxons had a word for death: "deaþ". It's the same word. They also had a word for dead: "dead". Again, the same word. Their words for dying are less similar, however. The most straightforward word they have for "die" is "deadan", ie. "to dead"; they also use "steorfan" and "sweltan" which essentially translate as "to die", perhaps with an emphasis on "was killed" - although that might simply be because most deaths in AS literature are violent ones.
The other words they typically use for death are "gefaran" and "forðferan", which translate as "to travel" and "to go forth". They liked to allude to death poetically rather than simply say "he died". A lovely example of this is The Battle of Maldon where Wulfmær's death is described: "Wund wearð Wulfmær, wælræste geceas", "Wulfmær became wounded, he chose/found a slaughter-bed." (l. 113)
So where does "die" come from? Well, if we turn to our wonderful friend the OED, we get:
QuoteEtymology: Early Middle English dēȝen, dēghen, corresponding to Old Norse deyja (originally døyja, Old Swedish and Old Danish döia, Danish döe, Swedish dö), Old Frisian deia, deja, Old Saxon dóian, Old High German touwan, Middle High German töuwen; these represent an Old Germanic strong verb of the 6th class *daw-j-an, past tense dôw, past participle dawan-, the strong inflections being retained in Old Norse (dó- < *dów, dáinn < *dawans). In the other languages and in English a regular weak verb. No instance of the word is known in Old English literature (its sense being expressed by steorfan, sweltan, or the periphrastic wesan déad, past tense wæs déad: see dead adj. 1d) hence it is generally held to have been early lost in Old English (as in Gothic, and as subsequently in all the continental West Germanic languages), and re-adopted in late Old English or early Middle English from Norse; but some think that the facts point rather to the preservation of an Old English díegan, dégan, in some dialect; the word appears to have been in general use from the 12th cent., even in the s.w. dialects (see Napier in Hist. Holy Rood, E.E.T.S., 1894). The Middle English dēȝen, dēghen came regularly down to 1500 as deye, which was retained in the North as dey, dē, dee (still current from Lancashire to Scotland); but in standard English dēghe was in 14th cent. (in conformity with the common phonetic history of Old English eh, eah, eoh, as in dye, eye, fly, high, lie, nigh, thigh, etc.) narrowed to diȝe, dighe, whence the later dye, die.
So the full answer is that nobody knows for sure, but it seems likely that it was a word of Germanic origin which somehow didn't make it into AS but was later adopted.
Although I'm off to video games, I thought I'd ask before I go: in "sweltan", would one say that "sweltan" or "sveltan" (also same question: Wulfmær, vulf- or wulf-) ? I know that the Nordic wunjo was a w-sound, but then German seems to have lost that in favor of the v-sound. Not knowing as much about Germanic languages as others, I have often wondered at the correct pronunciation of such things.

QuoteIt was a very good conversation.
And yes, it was a marvellous conversation. :yes: <3 <3 <3
Regarding the pronunciation of "w" in AS: I'm pretty sure the ASs pronounced "w" as it is pronounced today. This is partly because there are a lot of words which use "w" and are recognisably Modern English: "word", "wundor", "weorc" (work), "weallan" (to well up), and I can't help thinking that, since these words are so similar to their modern equivalents, and since all that stands between Modern English and AS is 1000 years and a French invasion (plus odds and ends like "bungalow"), it seems most natural that they'd be pronounced with a "w" sound. We're pretty sure that there are other consonant sounds which were used in a similar way to their modern equivalents - for example, "circe" is the AS word for "church", and the "c"s are pronounced as modern "ch"s; "scip" is the AS word for "ship" and "sceadu" the word for "shadow", and the "sc" is pronounced as modern "sh". The same goes for "ecg", AS for "edge": the "cg" is pronounced the same as modern "dg". Most changes in sound in the transition to ME were in the vowels rather than the consonants: "weorc" shortened to "work", "stan" deepening to "stone", "ceald" changing to "cold", and it seems that changes to consonants were relatively rare (except in cases where consonants were altered within or added to common words such as "him" becoming "them" and "ma" becoming "more"). So it seems most likely that "w" wouldn't change much.
Of course, this is largely speculation and we can never be certain. But some better evidene is the way in which AS was written before "w" came about. Take a look at Caedmon's hymn, the oldest bit of AS poetry we have:
Nu scilun herga hefenricæs uard
metudæs mehti and his modgithanc
uerc uuldurfadur sue he uundra gihuæs
eci dryctin or astelidæ.
he ærist scop ældu barnum
hefen to hrofæ halig sceppend
tha middingard moncynnæs uard
eci dryctin æfter tiadæ
firum foldu frea allmehtig
Translation:
"Now we should praise the guardian of the heavenly kingdom, the creator's might and his conception/forethought/thoughtfulness, the work of the glorious father, just as he, eternal Lord, previously established each of the wonders/miracles. He first shaped heaven as a roof for the sons of men, holy Creator; then mankind's guardian, the eternal Lord, almighty Lord, afterwards made middle-earth, the earth for men."
There are a number of places where spelling deviates from later AS. Most notably, "weard" is written as "uard", "weorc" as "uerc", "wuldor" as "uuldor" and "wundra" as "uundra". To me, this suggests that "w" is, literally, a way of writing a "double-u"; after all, if you say "uundra" it sounds identical to "wundra". Of course, it's possible that the first "u" should be read as a "v" and the second as a "u", but I'm not sure if the practice of using "u" and "v" interchangebly arose before the medieval period.
Regarding starve: Look! More OED! :D
QuoteEtymology: A Common West Germanic strong verb, which has become weak in modern English: Old English steorfan (past tense stearf, plural sturfon, past participle storfen) corresponds to Old Frisian sterva (West Frisian stjerre, North Frisian sterwe), Old Saxon sterƀan, (Middle) Low German, (Middle) Dutch sterven, Old High German sterban (Middle High German, modern German sterben), to die, < Germanic root *sterƀ- ( < starƀ- < sturƀ-).
A root of identical form, and possibly of identical origin, occurs in Old Norse stiarfe weak masculine, ? epilepsy, stiarf-r, stir-finn obstinate, starf toil, effort, starfa to toil. It has been suggested that the primitive sense of the root may have been 'to be rigid', which might account both for the sense 'to die' of the West Germanic verb and for the meanings of the Old Norse words. On the other hand, as the Germanic form may equally well represent pre-Germanic *sterp- and *sterbh-, it is possible that the West Germanic and the Old Norse words may be unconnected.
The conjugation of the verb has remained strong in the continental Germanic languages. In English the strong forms of the past tense became obsolete in the 15th century, and those of the past participle in the 16th cent. The transitive (causative) use, which arose in English in the 16th cent., is not paralleled in the other languages.
So yes, steorfan is the origin of starve ;D

The u-vs.-v issue is a Latin one (as that is the language that lent AS that alphabet :P). V's are much easier to etch. :P Given that they used a "u" before they had a "w", it is natural to assume that the "w" that came later served to distinguish the semivowel/approximant/consonantal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximant#Semivowels) u from the vocalic u. In the Renaissance, an attempt was made to fix up Latin which had a similar issue with v/u and i/y (the "j" was born to mark the consonantal i, which is pronounced like a y, I know why, do you know why, y? *gets back on topic* And an attempt was made to use the usually found in script (handwriting) u for the vocalic version and the usually found in carvings/engravings v for the consonantal version. I'm not sure how well either effort stuck really, but at least we got "j" out of it. :P)
To my knowledge, the voiced labial fricative sound we associate with "v" is largely of Germanic/Slavic origins or in some cases (ie- Greek) came about through the decay of other labials (Classical Greek /beta/ -> Modern Greek /veta/ (/.../ indicates pronunciation); possibly also the case in Gaelic mh and bh).

As you can see, "Die" (which is the German Fem Nom and Fem Acc, as well as the Plural Nom and Fem, I think)
All words become feminine in the plural, so yes. :)
To say that all words become feminine in the plural is a bit of an oversimplification (but no moreso than the common ignorance of the grammatical notion of common gender). It is more proper 1) to class the plural as having no-gender or morphologically speaking to speak of a "plural gender" which may be taken to be grammatically and logically distinct from the masculine and feminine (this sort of crossing over of usually distinct grammatical categories (in this case the notions of "number" and "gender") can be found in extreme cases) or 2) to say that all nouns and adjectives in the plural assume a common gender which has some forms syncretic with the feminine singular (I actually was going to offer STILL MORE options but... stopped myself). I'd say 2 has the most historical credence, etc. (Except modern linguists have decided to ignore the existence of the common gender in favor of social commentary: Mein Gott! The "common" gender is always the same as the masculine! What benighted chauvinism! ::) )

Regarding the pronunciation of "w" in AS: I'm pretty sure the ASs pronounced "w" as it is pronounced today. ... So it seems most likely that "w" wouldn't change much.
Of course, this is largely speculation and we can never be certain. But some better evidene is the way in which AS was written before "w" came about. Take a look at Caedmon's hymn, the oldest bit of AS poetry we have:
I would say that the record of Caedmon's hymn about confirm that those u's were marking consonantal-u qualities, cf. contemporary Latin, where i was both i and y and u was both u and w.
I would think that German "die" and AS þa are cognate: -ie as diphthong seems to mark the loss of a -yuh sound (the i as a y, e as a schwa), "dyuh" to me resembles the palatalization of d to mock the sound of a progressively lost dental fricative, ie- þ.

Cats are wonderful. :cat: :smitten:
where are the monthly candies?? :argue: haven't seen one in ages
Tess has not been around to dole them out and CC has disappeared more or less. :( 'tis a great sad.
maybe we can make an escape plan and escape all to the candy store ;D
Maybe the Asylum is secretly inside a candy store. Where do you think they get it all from?
*gasp*
Maybe WE'RE candy?!?!?!
I WANT TO BE A CUPCAKE!!
A cupcake isn't candy. Pay attention! >:(
A girl can dream! Unless...wait...it IS 1.5 hours before I normally wake up. Am I dreaming?!
Yes you are. And if you don't wake up soon it will become a nightmare
(http://cdn.womensunitedonline.com/fabulousfoods.com/recipes/recipes/monstercpck.jpg)
:shock:
I guess you never woke up. WHY would you not wake up? We're all in a nightmare now! All you had to do was set an alarm! Whyyyyyyyyyy??? *munches on my candy arm* Well, that's not so bad.
Whhieieieieieiieieie, I want to make such a cupcake monster as in Haids1987´s post.
(I've got the stuff for that)
Yes, Haids, shame on you! >:( I take it we have to defeat the cupcake monster before the dream can end?
But don't you all know? It's a cupcake!
ALL WE MUST DO IS EAT IT TO DEATH!
*Attempts a bite*
If you treat it like a cupcake, it'll act like a cupcake. *nomifies*
but what if it bites your tongue? :o
*a person is teleported directly into the Manager's room and starts drafting a note* It is the Manager himself, CC:
"In order to stay sane my mind is linked to that of a person in the mythical land of real-life. Unfortunately, shortly after my last visit to the Asylum the mind of that person suffered a serious condition from which I could not shield myself enough. Through many efforts I have managed to limit the connection but which leaves me rather unable to perform my duties here sufficiently. I have been probing the mind at regular intervals but it is still in turmoil and thus not safe for me to deepen the connection again. Luckily the Asylum's security system, including the guardcats, can function completely on its/their own. I can assure you the guardcats are instructed not to use their claws unless in self defense so if one did use them it was in that instance. Since the absence of Tess to hand them out the monthly sweet is provided automatically by kitchen staff. I am unable to access the schematics of the Asylum, but if a Salon has not been present surely it could have been created by the holoroom. Naturally, the Asylum is in constant 'flux' to cater to the needs of the patients so a proper Salon must now definitely be present outside of the holoroom.
Deloria has not 'escaped' from the padded isolation cell as such. When she tried to leave the biometric system interfaced with the security system which deemed she had spent enough time in isolation and was allowed to leave. Simple as that.
I am unable to reply to everything else that has happened during my absence. Due to my condition I can also not use any smilies."
Final note: you can all thank Katie for this (short) visit.
*CC is teleported out of the Manager's room again*
Yay! Glad to see you even briefly, CC! Hope you're doing well :)
I want to share a cell with Darthkiwi! :( Oh, can I, can I please? :D
CC, come back forever! I'll even be insane again!
Aww... :( CC... You have been much missed. S'okay, we'll keep the crazy going for when you return... alternatively, you can just join the Asylum patients if you wish. :)
::) He's been a patient all along, don't you understand?! That's the irony of it all!
Does anyone else smell frosting...?
It's because I'm wearing a suit made out of cupcakes. And a tie of cookies!
But I'm not sharing. I'm going to wear it and eat it. :P
Gah! Shield your eyes, gang! Please tell me that you don't have undies made out of frosting too...
No, don't be ridiculous! That wouldn't offer any support..... what are ya, crazy? :P

This cake has inspired me to wear frosting in place of clothing. :D Forever. :D Provided the frosting-dresses are very much like that one. :P
I bet we could get the guard cats or kitchen staff to make up an array of dresses inspired by that one, no?
I will continue to wear my straightjacket... it's snuggly. :P
But it's crooked!
How can a straightjacket be crooked? That's just silly. :P
See how it leans to one side?

Like I said, it's not up to my mind to get better, it's up to the one in the mythical land I (have to) rely on. It is supervised by professionals to keep its condition stable, but more than that is not possible at this moment. Most of the time I am confined to my house in this realm.
This short visit is due to me looking to see if a birthday thread for this day exists, so I took a short detour here.
It will in a moment, I was just on my way to create one after seeing it was your birthday on FB :)

Maybe we can summon CC here with some sort of dance ritual.

There is a cat in our sink. Yes, really.
Can someone explain to me please, what this thread is about?
It's not really about anything, to be honest. It's just the digital version of an asylum--the TSL Asylum, to be exact. Cppycat, who used to post here more frequently, is the...leader? Doctor? I'm not really sure what to call him, but he runs the place and decides who's insane enough to be admitted. :yes:
The rest of us just go nuts and have fun in the meantime. There was a time awhile back where there was some kind of battle in the Asylum bathroom, and another time Tess walked past someone's cell dressed in a hula outfit and hiding behind a potted plant. I can't remember the details, but it's all good times.
Now, Graham, as a newbie, I command you to turn on Sir Mix a Lot and begin serenading the rest of the patients! We're waiting! *Taps foot impatiently*
uhhh... okay? I guess you mean, say something random?
I LIKE PUPPIES!!! :D

(Sidebar--I thought you were a girl, GrahamRocks? ;])
*I* am, but the character my name comes from obviously isn't. If he was secretly a girl, it'd be disturbing.
I was referencing TSL, episode... 1? I believe? Where The Narrator says this at the crossroads:
*Graham clicks "Talk" on Sing-Sing*
TN: Graham has not being inducted into the TSL Asylum... yet. *insert shameless plug for herself*
And seeing as you called me Graham, that's what made me think of that line, "I guess Graham finally has been inducted into the TSL Asylum now. Heh heh! That's what he gets for trying to talk to nightingales."
We need a better nickname for you than "Graham", it's far too confusing.
I think... with a name like GrahamRocks.... the obvious choice is that we should call you Hydrogen. Or Hydro for even shorter.
Or just H.
But, wait. Isn't just H actually Helium? No, that won't do at all. That wouldn't make any sense at all as a nickname.

Or if all else fails, you're Hydro. Nice once, Cray! :highfive:

Well, a lark is a bird, and so is a nightingale. Zork is a text parser adventure game, which makes me think of Sierra. Borked makes me think of the Muppets, which I happen to like. And Lore is something I'm also very fond of, as i love intricate backstories.
Lork it is!
And don't forget Monty Python's lark. :D

King Graham, Sir Cray and the mutton are pleased.
Little known fact: King Graham, Sir Cray, and the mutton are all the same individual.
The mutton? ???
"The mutton is pleased." is a line from Paw, a music guru on TGWTG.Com and Lets Player I happen to like. One of his playthroughs was Alice in Wonderland on the Commodore 64 (I think) and one of the characters said that line and he liked it because it's such a strange thing to say. He'll ocassionally say whenever he sees something is "pleased' or comes across a really weird line.
Delling, are you implying that I am NOT the mutton?!

If it were Queen Icebella's throne, that would already be taken care of. :P
Yes, but Deloria didn't offer me Queen Icebella's throne. Deloria offered me HER throne. And as pleasing as that is, the Mutton fears it will spoil on a throne that is not simultaneously a refrigerator.
A refrigerathrone.
Since I am the only one who cares about pleasing the mutton around here, I offer the mutton a rock crystal ice box. :D

Yup, definitely Say, posting a reply after (nearly) every post, that's how I remember her too.
The mind mine is linked to in the mythical world of RL is improving, so I am able to resume my duties, but I will take it slowly.
So, has anything important happened whilst my guardcats were running the show? Ah yes, it seems we have a new patient, who seems to wish to be addressed to as Lork. So, welcome Lork. I can see the guardcats have already assigned you a room.
Anything else? Not that I have noticed but if there is, just post a reply, I'll probably be back in a couple of days.

The mind mine is linked to in the mythical world of RL is improving, so I am able to resume my duties, but I will take it slowly.
So, has anything important happened whilst my guardcats were running the show? Ah yes, it seems we have a new patient, who seems to wish to be addressed to as Lork. So, welcome Lork. I can see the guardcats have already assigned you a room.
Anything else? Not that I have noticed but if there is, just post a reply, I'll probably be back in a couple of days.

My cat is pudgy and she is an excellent huntress! :D She kills things every day! I'm trying to train her to go after reality tv stars next. :D
She's probably chubby BECAUSE she's so good at hunting. :P
It's a natural equilibrium sort of thing... gets really, really good at hunting... gets chubby, works that off through hunting. This is why you never see cats jogging. ::) :P

CAT!! :cat: :D :D *glomps it*
I don't get it. See, to me, dogs trump cats ANY day! Cats are weird: they're moody, hissy, scratchy, pretend to like you then claw the hell out of you when you go to pet them. They're biploar, they sneak up behind you, and all in all cannot be trusted. I don't understand cats at all! I hate most of them and generally they hate me right back.
To be fair, however, I have not once owned a cat in all my life. It has been strictly a dogs-only zone in my household for as long as my parents have been married--and before, actually; Dad and Mom didn't have cats growing up either--and I'm relatively certain that none of us would know what to do with one.

Cat-people value cat independence... you see it as stand-offish... meh, Velcro used to cuddle with me through the night, so I can't see it that way. :P (He'd then get up in the wee hours of the morning and I'd have to get up and look after him... but that was my dad's rule... had nothing to do with his being a cat. :P)

Okay, I'm sure there's a reason I'm doing this instead of getting dressed or re-reading how various essays in various languages are meant to be structured. XD
What you might be referring to as clawing could, in fact, be kneading. :P It's something they start doing when they're very young and just means that the happiness they're feeling at that moment reminds them of when they were kittens and happy and snuggly and warm and suckling, which is an adorable idea. :P But since I know this can be unpleasant, I recommend a blanket because it will make kitteh happier and you safe from claws! :D
Cat-people like independence. :P That doesn't mean the cats don't cuddle 75-ish% of the time anyway. :P And with most of the cats I've ever had, picking them up was sufficient to make them want to cuddle. XD And cats are clean. :P Dogs are not clean animals. :P They like to get dirty. :P I don't like to get dirty and have absolutely no interest in getting dirty with them. :P And the barking irks me to no end, because I'm high and therefore hyperacoustic quite a lot of the time. :P Also, our lab gets into absolutely everything and cannot be left alone. :S She steals food when we're not looking, she makes an absolute mess of everything and she's very loud and whines and demands endless amounts of attention and walks I don't have time for. :P Cats, while they might demand attention too, generally do so by jumping on my lap and letting me multitask. I've managed to make them stop sitting on whatever it is I'm doing. XD

I'd also like to point out that when large dogs get excited they wag their tales very affectionately, which is great for the dog but can knock over pot plants, ornaments, and generally anything moderately tall, which is kind of irritating. Whereas a cat can stalk carefully across a desk strewn with delicate and breakable objects and avoid knocking a single one of them over.
Oh, and cats TOTALLY do the OMG-YOU'RE-HOME thing, just... not every time you leave the room/house. :P
Velcro would be super-clingy whenever we came home from vacation. :D
Biri would be snuggly and purr all night long the first night we were back. :P She'd then be passive-aggressive and aloof for a few days and then she would snuggle and luff! :D
My cat Alex does this thing -- almost every time we come back from going somewhere.
He'll be waiting by the door and we'll walk in and he'll let out exactly one very excited "Mrrrrrf!" (he doesn't meow, he "mrrf"s) and then he will be passive-aggressive with us for about ten minutes as punishment for leaving without his express permission, and then he'll be totally normal.
And normal means, he likes to be nearby but if we're busy at home he usually doesn't interrupt. He'll come bother you for petting if you're like.... reading or vegging out (he can totally tell the difference between working and playing on a computer). Otherwise, he usually won't interrupt unless he's actually legitimately hungry. But he always likes to be nearby his people.

Does it really count as "getting" a thread if he created it himself? I thought one of the personal thread rules was that someone else had to create it.
I created mine, way back in the day. Therefore, it is a legimimitate action.

XD Almost. Now, pass me another arm off of that chocolate Venus. :P

That would be quite impossible as the biometric scanners refuse anything that constitutes a high caloric intake to be taken with you but will be 'processed' through the kitchen in light of the patient's monthly sweet-programme. :pleased:
Quote from: Say on January 08, 2013, 07:58:22 AMJust a pot? with all the people in here, that wouldn't be enough!
FONDUE FOR EVERYONE!
Unfortunately, we are am unable to overrule favours performed by official representatives of the 'Establishment' here. :shifty:
Off-topic: For some reason the notifications about new posts in this thread no longer appear in my inbox these past few weeks, which means I had to go to long way around to get here. :sweating:

We fear a 3D printer of chocolate would need to be a controlled environment to be able to stay in one piece and might not even be able to print even one thing. But, we guess that's not the reason you like one of those. :police:
Back on topic with a little twist:
In a joint effort between my human counterpart in the mythical land of IRL I am attending a seminar at The Hanwell institute (http://kck.st/VlnMSs) which means the TSL Asylum is on automatic, but I know from past experiences that's no problem. :scholar: The human counterpart is following the application process of a female doctor to that institute with peculiar interest. You see, said person has managed to 'push the buttons' of said human counterpart and vice versa. Naturally, if the Hanwell Institute doesn't get enough inmates, the doctor would not be hired. So, if any of you want to point whatever aspect of your personality to the Hanwell Institute and become an inmate, we'd very much appreciate it. ;)

I'm sure he'll be perfectly capable of fixing all our problems. But now there can be hilarious plots which involve having to keep our living space refreshingly cool, as well. :P

Have none of you read Richie Rich comics? :(
I've only seen the dreadful Macaulay Culkin film from the 90s....

Well, you ARE the waiter of The Asylum, right?
Waiter? Waiter.... that's what they used to call me....
And I come back to you now, at the turn of the tide....
Chocolate! Chocolate for everyone!
Whieieieiieeieieieie chocolate
writes chocolate and makes drawings of chocolate bars on all the walls
Hey waiter, may I have some purple fizz? :D
Waiter, get me a blue drink!
No, not a drink that's the colour blue - the blue flavour! From the bluefruit!
YESOFCOURESIT'SAREALFRUIT, where do you think the blue flavour comes from?!
Cyanfruit! :D
Quote from: Deloria on February 23, 2013, 07:56:10 PM
Cyanfruit! :D
Exactly!
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/fb/Blue_Apple.jpg)
See, I told you it existed! :D
XD
That looks deliciously blue! :D
One purple fizz and one blue drink coming up! I think I'll have a blue drink too, always loved the taste of blue....
Oh, Cyanfruit is pretty!
Copycat, I request permission to plant a Cyanfruit tree on the grounds.... or two.... or three.... ;D

Why I gave you enough sunlight and water.
Or do you only fight zombies? :P
I think they only fight zombies, Gilgamesh. :-\
Now if you can figure out a way to turn the guard cats into zombie cats, you'll be all set.
would green paint do the trick? ::)
Maybe? It depends on how intelligent the guardcats are. :yes:
You could always try it and see.... not that I would recommend doing that to the guardcats, being an official staff member of the Asylum and everything.... *Shifty Eyes*
Oh! Purple Fizz is like Fizzy Lifting Drinks! Nice!
Note to self: Find out what the drinks do, before serving them to patients.... XD

We're never, ever getting out. :(

If you can find a real Cyanfruit-tree anywhere, you have my permission to plant a couple in the Asylum garden. :pirate:

If you were to try any type of genetic tampering with the guard cat's DNA (not that you would be able to get a hold of it anyway) you would soon make acquaintance with their claws. 8)

Indeed, you better to recommend it or you're fired. Even this suggestion has put you on probation. :police:
