Lenny Henry. I mentioned upthread.

― M Grout (Mark Grout), Friday, 24 November 2006 15:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Who is Lenny Henry?

Oh, never mind. I'll go google.

Ah, he is a professional Funny Person. No wonder I had not heard of him.

I think Tryptophan gets mentioned in Robert Clavert's "Captain Lockheed and the starfighters" as part of the cocktail of drukqs a starfighter pilot has to take before flying "the widow maker".

Robert Calvert, even.

It is an amino acid, it maketh people sleepy. It is also a principle ingredient of Serotonin which my brane has much trouble keeping in it. So maybe I should take some Tryptophan.

Argh!

I heard that we were in the new issue of MusicMart. But I went to the shop and they only had the old issue. Bah!

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 15:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Did you listen to the death metal CD w/terrorizer yet, Kerr?

Ha, I thought of you, I must admit.

they had one of those devices for wrapping christmas trees - a large metal funnel-shaped object where you push the christmas tree though it, pointy bit first, and it tightly wraps it in this meshy fabric stuff? Kind of like a sausage=making machine, but bigger, now I think about it. I looked at it and it occured to me that it looked just about big enough to put a person through, & they'd come out of the other side all wrapped up and, er, you know.

You can buy tubes of that meshy fabric stuff, with rings at each end, for exactly that purpose. I'm told they're very good, but I've not tried them.

Related news: I just volunteered to model for a photoshoot and got a reply back straight away: "ooh, you'd be ideal". My ego is feeling all puffed-up right now.

What on earth are you looking at?

Pointy-nosed anime slash graphix?

― Norman Phay (Pashmina), Friday, 24 November 2006 16:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Nah, just bishonen manga. The original pointy-nosed anime boy slashfest of nummyness.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 16:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm trying to distract myself from my current crush (totally inappropriate now I realise how much he not just looks like my brother, but also has the same name as my brother, albeit in a different language) with the original source of pointy-nosed fetishism.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 16:49 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh.

My.

God.

I've just realised that PBW *did* friend me. I thought he denied me. And I've posted stupid surveys with questions about "who are you crushing on?" and crap like that. ARGH! ARGH! red face of shame, argh, embarrassment, I am teh stupid.

::cringes::

I'm going to go and die now.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 16:56 (seventeen years ago) link

I can only hope he doesn't read random surveys from girls he doesn't know.

Oh god, my face is burning with shame.

― masonic boom (kate), Friday, 24 November 2006 16:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I have just canvassed your surveys and can vouch that you have nothing to worry about.

Nah, just washed my hair, off to bed now (ish)

Morning all!

― mitya can't be bothered with remembering all these passwords, Monday, 27 November 2006 08:27 (seventeen years ago) link

Good morning. I marked 48 essays over the past five days!

― g0000000blar, Monday, 27 November 2006 08:46 (seventeen years ago) link

Well done, you! Were there any brilliant ones?

― C J (C J), Monday, 27 November 2006 08:53 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, there were. And, nicely, the best one of all was the second to last one I marked last night.

Best insight: One student, writing about Shakespeare's Sonnet 20 (the one in which the speaker bemoans the fact that his beloved--a man--is, in fact a man. The speaker suggests that nature fell in love with this creature, and so wanting the beloved for herself, makes him a man by adding "one thing".), noticed that, unlike the majority of the sonnets, this one has 11 syllables a line (instead of the usual 10). She theorized that the extra syllable at the end of each line represented that "one thing added". Brilliant!

― g0000blar, Monday, 27 November 2006 08:58 (seventeen years ago) link

That must be such a buzz! The stuff which makes it all worthwhile, etc etc.

I remember looking around the hall at my fellow uni students on graduation day, and wondering who amongst us would go on to greatness of any sort in the future (answer = none, really!)

― C J (C J), Monday, 27 November 2006 09:31 (seventeen years ago) link

Good morning!

Just a thought: if this thread breasts 1000 posts before ILX3 goes live, will it be replaced with Watercooler Thread -1?

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 27 November 2006 10:26 (seventeen years ago) link

Good morning. I'm exhausted from the walk yesterday. I can't believe we walked the whole thing!

Ah, that sounds great, Gooblar - though reminds me of something Ian linked to on my blog, ha ha.

you couldn't have said "reaches", could you?

"Yeah, the girl's hair is gold, and then [Silas Marner] is also looking for his missing gold," Durst said. "So in my paper I said how that was symbolic of something."

OTM
