DIE SUPER!!! - G'morning, 2009!

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

you name your umbrella?

The first one was named by my friends back when I first showed up with a monstrosity over half my height that I could use to fly during windy days with the right impulse - hence the Mary Poppins moniker. I just went along with the flow for the other two.

More importantly, it's considerably less embarrassing than naming your penis.

Woo-hoo, Halloween parties in Japan! There's so many to choose from!

...y'know, for a country that doesn't celebrate Halloween, there's an awful lot of Halloween parties.

The only question is whether to go stag or bring a date.

Go stag, bring someone else's date home from the party.

Best of both worlds.

I'm not sure it's the best of both worlds unless he takes a date, and together they take someone else's date back with them.

Oh Tai, you always have the best ideas!

you name your umbrella?

More importantly, it's considerably less embarrassing than naming your penis.

And yet, not nearly as widespread of a habit.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

At least in my case I can proudly say I wield Julie Andrews as a weapon of mass destruction.

EDIT: And then I realize that someone out there probably named his pew pew after Julie Andrews and I feel like dousing my brain in a vat of Johnny Walker to wash away the horror.

Protip: unless you're teh gay, stop spending so much time thinking about other mens' penises.

Even my rampant homosexuality can't justify the mental exercise.

[Taishyr]

Wait how did this get on the track of phallic objects again?

Also, I try, Djinn.

[NotMiki]

he said "pew pew" and all I could think of was Catholic priests.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I was unaware that it ever -left-.

[Taishyr]

...wait, umbrellas are phallic?

[Cmdr_King]

Everything is phallic.  Except occasionally stuff that's vaginal.

[Taishyr]

That's impressively inane. But then again, I suppose I shouldn't expect anything else from society.

[NotMiki]

[Cmdr_King]

It's not so bad really, since no one's really looking for actual symbolism so much as collectively finding the most groan-worthy interpretation possible.  The general consensus is that the best jokes are the one that embarass the teller as much as the audience.

[Cotigo]

The pencil is a phallic object.  The act of writing is therefore the act of orgasm.  But only for men.  Women can't write, because they don't have a pencil.

[Cmdr_King]

Does explain why they call philosphy intellectual masturbation.

(There's probably a joke about pencil sharpeners too, but anyways)

[DjinnAndTonic]

I ended up imagining the sound that sci-fi laser pistols make.

...which is totally appropriate, right? >.>;;

Protip: unless you're teh gay, stop spending so much time thinking about other mens' penises.

Everything is phallic.  Except occasionally stuff that's vaginal.

And thus I split my time evenly between thinking about other people's penises and vaginas. What a shiny world.

EDIT: ...and RPG-math. I swear I end up spending a third of my time thinking about RPG math. Damn you people.

[Cmdr_King]

So, Jim worships the Space Pope?  Neat.

[NotMiki]

So glad I don't know what you're talking about...

[Cmdr_King]

*shrug* He's the pope.  In space.  He happens to be from a race of anthopomorphic crocodiles.  Nothing too strange about it.

[NotMiki]

Sounds like Dr. Seuss territory if you ask me.  I approve.

[Shale]

Futurama.

You uh weren't talking about your penis there?  I just assumed given the description.

So I am looking for flights home for Christmas and finding that flying out of Vancouver is ridiculously expensive right now. 760 bucks.

So, I am taking a Greyhound to Seattle, and hopefully finding my way from the Greyhound to the airport without dying. Yakko, do you have any ideas on how to do this? I found something about the 194 leading to the airport from the Greyhound terminal but I dunno.

[Yakumo]

There's a bus that runs to the airport that you can pick up around a quarter mile from the bus station, I'll go dig up some more info for you.  What date/time?  It is route 194, yeah.  There's a tunnel terminal right around there.

Actually, this is probably all you need.  Just plug 811 Stewart St as your starting point and set the date/time for the trip, it'll tell you where to go, which bus to get on, and the fare.  The walking directions look a little confusing until you realize it's leading you into basically a bus station which will be easy to spot.  http://tripplanner.kingcounty.gov/cgi-bin/itin_page.pl?resptype=U&destloc=AIRPORT%20SEATAC

I'm just not going there.
