Yes, he wasn't speaking...

Sign language! I can't link right now but it was Billy Connelly who said that you can say "Hey! Fuck off!" anywhere and be understood. Even inTibet.

Yes, his whole fuck off routine.

Everyone understands it.  Truly an international word and it emphasises itself.

You never read, "Fuck off, he hinted!"

"Fuck off , he hinted!"?  Link or what?

I skyped with Violet again. Absolutely amazing chick. I'm going to tell all my friends about her! We talked about who would win in a hypothetical fight: Bear vs Lion, Bear vs Gorilla, etc She knows a lot of crazy stuff like history and whatnot and she also knows a lot of things about animals as well ^,^

No thank you.

"Hello???"
"Healloaw"

My english is so bad lol haha

I remember when your microphone didn't work, and your fan spoke louder than ya. First call sounded more like blender crushing ice.

I did some later 'research' and came to a nontentative conclusion. It's the grizzly. The stats just don't lie: the grizzly is stronger, heavier, has a thicker layer of fat/skin/fur between its vitals and exterior, and can reach 35 miles an hour (a gorilla's top speed is 25 mph). I'll let you convert those to kilometers yourself....

Besides, if gorillas were so successful: how come they're trapped in a (relatively) tiny portion of Africa? The Grizzly has conquered CONTINENTS! Furthermore... the Grizzly is the most intelligent nonhuman animal in all of north America, whereas the Gorilla isn't even the most intelligent nonhuman animal in the singular region of Africa it occupies (they're completely overlapping environments containing the (more successful) Chimpanzee). 

The Grizzly possesses evolutionary superior traits, has seen a greater degree of success, and while a gorilla may be smarter than the average grizzly: the gorilla is also the dumbest of all the apes! 

If I had food in my car, in a box, a Grizzly could smell that food in a box in a car from a fair distance outside the car, can then open that car door, find the box, open it, and devour the contents... it's a remarkably adaptable creature. Gorillas HATE adaptation, DESPISE learning, and (subjectively speaking here) just look dumb.

I'm sure there is at least one topic we could have a decent conversation about. That said, I don't really talk to anyone on Skype unless Tibs is talking to them because . . . time.

I hear ya on the last bit. It's far more worthwhile for me to focus on my partner, and makes me happier than just about anything else I do. Not that I talk to many people regardless, or that I speak with them only in his presence though: I'd see that as a waste of time in comparison, time that I could be spending with my beloved instead of with random internet strangers.

That said, there are gaps in the time I get to spend with my husband-to-be... I capitalize those times on (debatably) fun crap like this forum, dumb roguelikes, and chatting with interestin Indians (dots, not feathers).

Regarding Pool: I've enjoyed the chats so far... haven't seen anything at all negative as of yet, but that could just be the way I see the world too. Somehow, I don't think that I'm going to have any (unforgivable) problems of any sort with the dude... this trite venture could well blossom into a good an proper international friendship.

Well, the brown bear has. Grizzly bears are only the north American subspecies of the brown bear. They don't live on any other continents.

Nah I went veryyyyyyy easy on Pool. He's absolutely vile. It takes me a LOT to be 'mean' to someone. You should know that.

No man, I really don't know that. I don't believe I've seen that particular vein of 'restraint' yet... or relative talent in the department (very easy, my ass... but if you truly can do better at being shit, then I suggest you keep your shit it to yourself). 

I'm pretty close to chalking this up to 'projection'.

Oh we gots us a smartiepants, do we?

... Well, that's fair. But they're such a close stock that their mixed offspring would be viable. Then again, freaking Polars and Grizzlies have created up to second-generation mixed offspring before, so...

Anyways... Grizzly sounds cooler than 'broooowwwwwnnnn bear'. Besides, if we were comparing the Kodiak brown bear to a gorilla? That shit is just unfair. Polar bears may be ever so slightly larger... but they're total pussies (comparatively) that are tailored to a very specific habitat and won't even survive once that habitat is disturbed... mostly because every time they adapt to climate change by eating the garbage in Inuit villiages: they get shot. It really frustrates me, actually ^__^

So we've got the biggest bears in the world and I'm proud of it, so what?!

I'd never heard anybody pronounce 'marriage' in quite that manner before. Thought he was saying... 'rebel!', but that could have just been my upbringing.

DO NOT LOSE THE FACIAL HAIR.

Sorry, it's just that... Mexicans who lose their facial hair look about 15 years younger than they are. I wouldn't be able to help talking down to you... and let me tell you pool: ain't nothing I want to see less than a greasy child.

That's alright lil' chimp, it'll all be over soon anyways. We humans delight in using miniature cleavers as tools to chop our roasted chimpanzee sandwiches in half before we stuff our faces. 

Though, I've seen people skip that first step.

Pooley, are you there? Do you understand me?
Who Pooley? Dis operator. Who Dat? Me no speaka good engrish!






(For what it's worth, I'm just happy to see people get along...) well done to both of you... romances have blossomed in weirder situations!

Did I just make everything completely awkward?

No, but I'm engaged and faithful, so there's pretty much no chance of that happening unless my fiance dies and about 10-15 years of grieving are gone by...

And then I'd probably shack up with another woman, not a greasy Mexican from another continent Might go East Asian chick... you get a girl out of Asia, and she'll do just about anything for you. First world country benefits

Plus, there's my emotional homosexuality and whatnot so..
