So we gamed last night. Just Nicole and me. DOOM! But we are not dead yet :-P I am still working on my handout for Kingdom Heraldic Symposium. It is up to eight pages now. I still need to translate lots of eunuch names and type up a bunch more lists. Anyone want to take my class? It is at 9am tomorrow and I am sure a Mamluk eunuch persona is exactly what you need... There is lots of space because Z took all my students :-P Seriously though I wish I could take her class and draw heraldic beasties.

[Same game.]

dude, I am thinking about registering my boy name. I need the documentation to submit it: Roland der Grave

[ursula]

Roeland and de Grave are in this article:

http://www.s-gabriel.org/docs/bruges/

That sound like what you need?

link is not working

[ursula]

Works for me. Try again in a bit?

[pandorasbox.livejournal.com]

could be my server

[pandorasbox.livejournal.com]

it says connection was refused

[ursula]

Can you get to anything on http://www.s-gabriel.org/ ?

[pandorasbox.livejournal.com]

nope

[ursula]

Hmmm, now I can't either. My advice is to wait a couple of hours & see if the problem resolves itself.

ok sweets

this style is elfie? no? the smilies give it away. and the doom. there aren't enough typos, however. (j/k)

[ursula]

I thought about leaving in my typos, but I decided that would be mean :P

only missing one thing - mars-esque sentence structure. am lazy writer. annie does this too at times... :-P Doom. But you forget horrible rock-climber dudette slang also. ;-)

[ursula]

Hey, sometimes you make sense :P

Hmmm drawing beasties or discussing eunuchs... :)

[ursula]

Bracing Saturday morning activities, eh?

I can think of one class that would garner less interest. I have included it below to make you feel better.

Medicine Practica Series
Leeches and Bloodletting - by Elric Strangulf

This class with introduce you to the medieval practice of using leeches to draw bad blood from your patients so that their humours can regain balance. We will focus on practical use of the Leech. Your class fee includes 2 leeches and a handout. Half of the class will be a lecture and the other half a Practicum where students will master the art of applying, monitoring and removing the Leech from fellow classmates. Please pre-register so I know how many leeches to bring.

[ursula]

That would be hilarious.

(I don't actually feel bad: I am teaching a weird special-interest class which if all goes well I will get an article or two out of.)

metaquestion

does anyone know where the "DOOM!" meme started? (i first saw it on noneedforbushido; but i bet they're not the source.)

Re: metaquestion

[ursula]

. . . There's a meme?

Re: metaquestion

[sven271.livejournal.com]

the expression has been humorously overused in a webcomic that i read -- i assumed it was a pop culture reference that i was missing. but maybe not :)

Re: metaquestion

[ursula]

I think the person I'm imitating here likes the phrase because you can sing it: doom de doom doom DOOM!

Re: metaquestion

[foxen.livejournal.com]

All this all comes from a cartoon called Invader Zim.

See hanksan's comment below.

Re: metaquestion

Or above. Whichever.

Re: metaquestion

[sven271.livejournal.com]

yup, i saw it :)

Re: metaquestion

The imitated person agrees with the persons above about the source of the reference.
