The Order of the Can III

It just occurred to me that FNKs should really be FNCs...but FNKs looks so much more frightening when you type it. And it's more fun to chant. "FNK, FNK, FNK...."

Well, I don't post my crimes on Facebook, at least. That is, anymore. I used to be a diamond smuggler on Facebook...now I'm a member of the grammar police...I've even used the badge as my profile picture. All clean now, in case the mods come looking.
 
I get to be a Black Rider?! Even if I can't erase Facebook, this is so worth it. The raggedy cloaks...and the really cool sword...and the ability to terrify people smaller than yourself....

Alternately...I suppose I might end up riding Sushi. But I have a feeling that wouldn't end well.
 
I didn't specify, but um...sure.

Also, just fyi, those are incredibly me-ish reasons to want to do anything. Maybe you're actually going to turn into...dun dun dun...LoL! A fate worse than death. I'm sorry...go on thinking you get to be a black rider.
 
All our reasons are me-ish. Everything we do is basically out of self-interest. Thus saith Adam Smith. Even our good deeds are out of self-interest. We throw ourselves in front of the bullet because of our psychological need to be a hero.

So. Back to being a Black Rider. Or a Fate worse than Death. The Fates are cool, too. I want to be the blind one that randomly snips everyone's life thread.
 
Funny, I was just discussing that with someone. Simply put, I disagree, though perhaps his real view is more nuanced, and I don't know the nuances. In any case, I meant that they were "LoL"ish reasons, not just ANY "me."

You can't just choose your Fate, you know.

Yet another hotly debated topic...and it could be answered in several ways.

1. If it's Adopt-a-Fate day, then yes, you can choose your Fate. Unfortunately, this only means you get to display her face on your refrigerator, and Fates are definitely not photogenic.

2. You can choose your Fate, because you have a Free Will. This is not to be confused with Free Willy. One is dark, slippery, and difficult to handle. The other is a whale.

3. If you get to be a Fate, you can choose your Fate. This process gets rather complicated...if you're having problems becoming a Fate, does your future Fately self determine your Fate to be a Fate? Or is that backwards?
 
I've started the application to be a Fate. It's about 3 feet of paperwork, but only a dozen tests (DNA, fingerprint, blood test, health of hair, etc). All the papers were purple.
 
When I applied, there were only three questions:

1) Can you spin?

2) Can you weave?

3) Can you use a scissors?

The answer to all three was no, of course. So I failed. They must have raised their standards since then. Of course, they may have just ket me out because I'm a satyr. Darn stereotypes.
 
Purple is objectionable. At least, it's objectionable according to my brother, and this is his birthday. Therefore...I suppose I am morally obligated to destroy your application. I hope you don't mind. I'll give you papers that are a sort of abdominal color.
 
Spillchick's whole last sentence didn't make sense. And it was only nine at night! She has no excuse. We shall lock her in the second room to the left on the West wing of the Asylum. And no cookies.
 
Are you nuts? Obviously you have them, being a tree and all, but this is ridiculous. "Making sense" is a anti-defenestrative construct and ought to be abolished from seasonable discourse. And of course I meant abdominal. Abdominal colors are closely related to alliterative colors, except that abdominal colors come first in alphabetical order.
 
It does not make nonsense. You should bake, not make, nonsense. Additionally, the temperature should be no less than than 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
