I've screwed up making popcorn. Get outta here, acting like messing up browines is something.
... screwing up making popcorn is pretty easy. Hell, I've had the same microwave, the same day, at widely spread times, burn popcorn when the exact same timing, brand, etc., didn't burn earlier in the day.

And that's not getting into different brands, which can burn at different times, or different microwaves, or different preferences among the popcorn eaters for how burnt the stuff is and just...

... I've have an easier time cooking, like, full course meals than I've had consistently cooking popcorn. Popcorn is my preparatory nemesis. Which is sorta' good, 'cause I don't really like it so I never really pop any.
Which just goes to show that you should buy packets of popcorn kernels and use the stove. Instant heat removal if they start burning! Add salt and butter to taste.

Railsea - China Mieville (I was angry about the ampersands until they were explained)
Its like reading an entire book by a homestuck troll. You should try out Perdido Street Station & Un Lun Dun & Iron Council & The Scar & City & The City by him though, all great books.
I've read Un Lun Dun -- I'll probably read everything of his the library has.

Would be a shame if something... happened to it.
In the nights that followed... the Phantom Headshaver of Brighton-on-Sea struck again... and again!

Blarglearg my body is doing its best to fall apart. I'm far, far too young for this, dang it! And it's not even as though I have an unhealthy lifestyle.

Never did any fun chemistry in chemistry, but I did do some in biology. A quarter of the marks for the final practical were for walking into a lab equipped with everything you needed and then some, and testing various substances for the presence of various other substances.

One of my old schools did, however, have a science teacher with the dubious title of 'Only teacher in Gauteng to have set their tie on fire'. He also wrote a three page document on experiments that can be done with white phosphorus. The two may be related.

Anyway, I don't care about what religious rules I'm breaking, I'm an atheist anyway. I'm just happy to be legally free of my ex wife, happy to be able to marry Wolfeyez, and happy that I can begin fighting for custody of my kid.
Congrendulates!

Good luck, I hope you get custody.
Please don't hurt the officiator at your wedding

The skin on my fingertip just split. I'd say it was a papercut, but I haven't handled any paper for hours.

My current sad is all the Willsauce hate that's been going on lately.
What's up with that? Seriously, it's all in fun. My sense of humour has to be at least as dark.
Why can't my jokes ever get that sort of reaction?!

* Yoink is jelly.
I think it's all the infantile "huehue bodyparts" jokes he makes.
And the fact that those are the only things he ever posts in GD. I'm sure he has more personality than that, but he kinda comes across as a machine for making jokes that a lot of people find annoying.

Returned from 4 day camp, having placed second in a catapult contest (after hurling a 2kg sandbag 25 meters and breaking our throwing arm)!

All the muscles in my legs are stiff, my arms are stiff, and even my fingers are stiff from untying wet knots, but my team's entry for the focus of the camp placed 9th out of 38.

What have I begun?

Apparently that game is the origin of the doge meme, but I'm not sure it's true.

Hell no. Ever seen a jelly filled donut?

Why do we need nine pages of discussion, this was literally settled in the first reply. You can't argue with the jelly.
From what I've seen of Bay12, I'd be surprised if the discussion didn't take at least 10 pages before it ended, derailing included.
Well, we're only one or two posts away from 10 pages on the default view. I am impressed though; these discussions normally top out between 3 and 7 pages.

Edit: aha, miscounted. 10 pages of meaningless doughnuttery achieved!

Mm... not sure what system Pnx is working under, but here that would be a (just barely) failing grade, most of the time.
Ahahahahah here government pass for most subjects is 30%. 30%. Fortunately, most universities'll only take you with over a 60.
