Duffer Boot Camp!

[Olórin the Wise]

Ah, but for the faint of rationaltiy, now...

 

[Lady Callandra]

eh?....of course rationality would faint at this thread...

 

[theorangejello]

eh?....of course rationality would faint at this thread...

unlike his brother irrationality

 

[Miss Freckles]

haha. this is so going on my door!

 

[Lady Callandra]

haha. this is so going on my door!

how would you get a thread like this on a door?

 

[Olórin the Wise]

Irrationality was taking a bath in this thread the other day... you wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it was to chase him out.

 

[Miss Freckles]

Irrationality was taking a bath in this thread the other day... you wouldn't BELIEVE how hard it was to chase him out.

i kind of do, i think.

after irrationality left, this thread called itself humphrey and insisted it was a native hungarian with the right to remain silent. poor thread.

okay, so... who could introduce me to rationality? i believe we've never met before. maybe it's shy?

 

[Dernhelm]

No, it's just scared of you . . .

 

[Miss Freckles]

i scare people / abstract ideas? i had no idea... (well maybe i had a notion... but that's no the same.)

 

[fernshirehobbit]

oh i met irrationality the other day, while at a spork convention. he seemed like a rather pleasant fellow

 

[Miss Freckles]

he does that to make you trust him, and then BANG you end up in a white room without windows... believe me, i'm speaking from experience.

 

[fernshirehobbit]

ah no worries. i am an escape-y of the white room, remember?

but, ill make sure to be on my guard when i see him next

 

[theorangejello]

wow, and he never talks to me!

 

[Dernhelm]

Really?

 

[Olórin the Wise]

That one little word (well, one little word and some sort of ASCII emoticon, but for the sake of brevity [hah! brevity! Why am I spending so much time explaining it in parentheses, then?] we'll call it a word) conveys whole volumes of meaning.

 

[Miss Freckles]

for example?

in my head it didn't do much. (well, mainly because words get bored in my head very quickly. all they can do is skip about and play tag...)

 

[Lady Callandra]

for example?

for instance...*ahem*....*prepares self for speaking volumes of a small word*........................*drum roll*................supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

in my head it didn't do much. (well, mainly because words get bored in my head very quickly. all they can do is skip about and play tag...)

that explains the jello....*nods slowly in understandingment*

 

[Olórin the Wise]

For example?

Volume 1: A note to the reader
Volume II: Reflections on reality and the word Really
Volume Three: *
Volume IV: Unknown discoveries concerning reality**
Log Flume /\: Sudden death in the hereafter
________________
* The name, address, and home phone number of this volume are unknown.
** It is unknown how unknown discoveries can be recorded in a volume. To discover this you must read the volume yourself. The only known copy in existence lies seventy-five feet underground in an Inca burial place. Indiana Jones is reported to be mounting an expedition to recover the dead flies preserved in this volume; possibly the volume will be recovered as well. For more information, call 1-800-JONESES or send a large sum of money to your freindly neighborhood problem solver (me). Also include with the money a valid passport to Mexico and a 7-day instruction couse in Spanish.

 

[Dernhelm]

Ah. Interesting how I didn't know any of that, though I wrote it myself . . .

 

[Olórin the Wise]

See? You must be a Duffer, then, if you didn't even know what you were writing...
