Because we'll need one sooner or later. So...
I can no longer come up with decent signatures.

From the dream thread:
Weirdest dream I've ever heard of, and I've read quite a lotRisla wrote:I dreamed that I was one of twenty-ish test riders for Noam Chomsky's new invention, the air railroad. An air railroad is a railroad where the rails are not placed on ties on the ground, but rather suspended in the air. At one point, the rails twisted for some reason, and it distorted reality within the rail car.
At one point, I approached Chomsky, who was standing by the train door quietly and also looked a lot like a LotR dwarf, told him that I respect his work in linguistics even though I strongly disagree with many points, and then I gave him a very awkward hug.
ìtsanso, God In The Mountain, may our names inspire the deepest feelings of fear in urkos and all his ilk, for we have saved another man from his lies! I welcome back to the feast hall kal, who will never gamble again! May the eleven gods bless him!

Man, you must not have read many of mine, because this level of weirdness is bog-standard for my dreams.

If you want a REALLY weird one, I once had a dream where I was an office worker doing boring office tasks (photocopying documents, etc) in a high-rise building constructed entirely out of living human tongues that licked you as you walked around. My favorite part is when I looked out the window and saw across the street another building made of lips.
Re: The New ZBB Quote Thread
No that's more standard fare to me. We obviously have very different standards

It's mainly weird because you had a conversation with dwarf!Noam Chomsky and hugged him.

Re: The New ZBB Quote Thread
Huh!
Well, here's another one:
I was once a professional product tester for this new item called Tornado Pants. Tornado Pants are tight black pants which, when two people wearing them come in close proximity to each other, should theoretically produce a tornado. The problem was that they didn't work very well, so I spent the entire dream doing things like posing people in weird positions and putting them on people with particularly muscular thighs, while the pants just produced straight-line winds or sometimes weak swirling.

Has no friends and is rubbish at everything, but apparently might be Prime Minister now because he has a name people recognise and he's somehow not managed to get sacked. He's not a frontrunner, but he'll be in the race if the people ahead of him cock up.

We always have a copy in the breakroom at work, so I skim the headlines when waiting for my friends to finish making their elaborate pourover coffee. The Mansion section is the best bit because rich people spend their money in incredibly stupid ways; I enjoy reading extracts aloud to my friends, who have threatened to stop being my friends if I keep reading from it, but it's too good to stop.)

Salmoneus wrote:What does that mean? Well, if the Prime Minister and/or the Attorney General is found in contempt, they could be suspended from Parliament (not unheard of), expelled from Parliament (very rare) or even imprisoned in the clock tower and forced to listen to the chimes of big ben until they have gone mad, or until parliament feels like letting them out (theoretically and historically, but no longer implemented in practice).

But, to be fair to her, if these things were considered disqualificatory in British politics, we'd have to dispose of four-fifths of parliament.
