Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Become a trickster. I just want to play well-meaning tricks on people. I keep a list of stupid pranks to play. Not even pranks, just cultivate eccentric tendencies. One includes training two dogs to show a person out of my house, complete with them closing the door behind the person.

Leave that to the skiers bro :smug:
. . . Yes!?
Ride a fancy rickshaw around town
talk in third person
put aluminum grills on my dogs teeth
golden carapace fingers
wearing sunglasses indoors at night
flashing a wad of dollar bills.
I love reactions.
Now this is something I can always get behind

"Maybe my friend George Washington can help you come to a decision?"
I'll be wearing sunglasses and be super serious.
Also I can pass for so much younger so that opens to door to all sorts of possibilities.
It is incredible

Washington is kid money, it's all about the Hamiltons, baby
I used to think doing things like this would be funny and charming, but I think the large majority of people would just think it was creepy and weird. My desire to do this is not lessened, however.

I feel like hitting something and crying like a girl.
Dammit am I on my period
But I am female. And tiny (less than five feet and a hundred pounds). I'm super adorable. I have that advantage.
You do have that going for you--things like this are considerably less charming on a grown man. I tend to stick to subtler eccentricities, such as in the workplace. Sometimes, when talking with a new person at work that I know I won't have to be around for an extended period of time, I'll simply mirror their personality and vocal inflections to see if they catch on. Most don't, and I've found it is an oddly easy way to make friends. Another was to casually say "fuck" every other word when talking with my extremely straight-laced Morman boss, simply to see if he'd tell me not to (it was against the rules of Safeway). I got a lot of other employees to do the same thing, and while I could tell he wanted to tell me not to, he never did. This was the same man who forced an employee to shave in the bathroom because he had a slight bit of stubble. I could never figure him out.
I want to dress up like I am from a different era, get a friend with a vintage car. Run up to someone and ask for the year, run back yelling, "It worked!"
Among my friends and people I want to impress I've tried to cultivate a fairly neutral inflection and hide my Southern accent, but when I'm back home and I need to go the hardware store or go get something done to my car I find myself slipping back into a little more of that drawl to try to blend or accommodate the locals or something
I'm not entirely sure why it happens but I find it makes it easier to get along in different settings

Oh god it annoys me when I catch myself doing this, to either extreme
I am going to come out of college with some crazy regional accent
Thing is, most other people from the South have told me they can't really hear an accent in my voice; but my friends from up north claim that it is in fact noticeable; so I guess it's all relative, really

Like, devote a whole bunch of time to it and everything.
I just don't know what yet.

you should eat something
best case scenario it turns out you were grumpy because you were hungry, problem solved
but if not, you'll be sitting there sobbing and stuffing your face with ice cream which is every sad person's secret desire anyway
It's because you don't know how to pump your own gas.

The world is a wasteland.

man I know, right? Terrible time to lose the new webcomics thread: new supermegas abound, HB fucking eats egg's head off, awesome music
people with the same accent as you don't hear their own accent
