THE ALL CAPS THREAD

Post Reply New Topic

YAY, MY FAVE COLOR!

I MIGHT BUY POKEMON BLUE RESCUE TEAM AND DRAGON QUEST V.

THEY WERE GOOD GAMES. i'VE BEEN THINKING OF REPLAYING BLUE OR RED MYSELF.

THOUGH I SHOULD JUST FOCUS ON THE $100 GAME I JUST GOT NOT THAT LONG AGO. THE JAPANESE 3DS I BOUGHT TO PLAY IT ON LOOKS SO PRISTINE THAT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO TOUCH IT. MAYBE I'LL PLAY IT WEARING GLOVES OR SOMETHING.

HEY, TURN THAT DOWN!! WE'RE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!!

AND NOW I HAVE MY EYE ON PERSONA 4. GAH!! ! [I DID BUY POKEMON BLUE RESCUE TEAM IN THE END, ALONG WITH A BUNCH OF BOOKS.]

ALLCAPS ALWAYS MAKES ME THINK OF DISCWORLD. THIS IS MORE TO BE ENVIED THAN PITIED I THINK HOPE

^NICE--I MEAN, NICE USERNAME. I LIKE DISCWORD A LOT, AND THIS THREAD GIVES ME AN AMPLE EXCUSE TO TALK LIKE DEATH [WHO IS MY FAVOURITE CHARACTER]. THOUGH I ONLY HAVE SIX OF THE BOOKS-MORT, SOUL MUSIC, HOGFATHER, REAPER MAN, THIEF OF TIME, AND CARPE JUGULUM.

THANK YOU!

CATS. CATS ARE NICE.

HAVE YOU READ ALL OF THEM? I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME NOT JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T OWN ALL OF THEM.

THE SAM VIMES BOOKS HAVE EXCELLENT CAMEOS BY DEATH TOO... I'M JUST GOING THROUGH ALL THE DISCWORLD BOOKS I OWN AGAIN IN THE ORDER THEY PUBLISHED, SO THEY'RE REALLY ON MY MIND AT THE MOMENT (AND DO I FEEL LUCKY!)

EDIT IN: I JUST LOVED THIEF OF TIME!

I HAVE A CAT NAMED BOO, AND SHE'S SITTING NEXT TO ME ON THE SIDE TABLE. SAY HI, BOO.

...

NO REPLY. SHE ONLY MEOWS WHEN SHE WANTS SOMETHING, OR WHEN WE CUDDLE.

I HAVEN'T READ ALL OF THEM, BUT I'VE READ SNIPPETS HERE AND THERE.

WHICH ARE YOUR FAVOURITES?

WASN'T THERE ONE WHERE DEATH ARRIVES WITH A LAWN CHAIR AND A BOOK, AND SAYS THAT INSTEAD OF VIMES HAVING A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE, HE [DEATH] IS HAVING A NEAR-VIMES EXPERIENCE, AND THEN SITS DOWN TO READ?

DISCWORLD BOOKS ARE SOME OF THE ONLY BOOKS THAT HAVE EVER CAUSED ME TO LAUGH ALOUD [OTHERS INCLUDE A COUPLE BY DIANA WYNNE JONES AND MANY BY DOUGLAS ADAMS]. I'M PARTICULAR IN MY HUMOR.

YES! I CAN'T REMEMBER IF THAT WAS IN THE FIFTH ELEPHANT OR THUD... OK, PER IXQUICK, IT'S THUD.

OH MY GOSH, I LOVE SO MANY OF THEM. I GROUP THEM BY MAIN CHARACTER, SO MY FAVORITE RINCEWIND ONE IS THE LAST CONTINENT. MY FAVORITE VIMES ONE? GAAH. ALL OF THE VIMES ONES. BUT FEET OF CLAY IS SPECIAL, I FELT A WEIRD ASPIE-ISH KINSHIP WITH DORFL THE GOLEM. MY FAVORITE GYTHA /ESME/ MAGRAT ONE? A TIE BETWEEN MASKERADE AND CARPE JUGULUM, WITH A NOD TO GREEBO IN WITCHES ABROAD, SINCE THE VAMPIRE HAS NEVER MANAGED TO RETURN FROM THE CAT!

WHOOPS. I REALLY DO LOVE THIS STUFF, I'M ON THE VERGE OF FULL-ON ASPIE-ING AT YOU (THAT'S WHAT I CALL IT WHEN I GET ENTHUSIASM LOGORRHEA ALL OVER MY LONGSUFFERING NT COUSIN AND HIS NEURODIVERSE BUT NOT ASPIE WIFE). [ASPIE FILTER ON!]

REGARDS TO BOO

BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

MY FAVORITE DISCWORLD SERIES IS RINCEWIND. I LOVE THE SCENES WITH LUGGAGE!
NOT SURE WHICH IS MY FAVE BOOK, MAYBE THE LIGHT FANTASTIC.

I'VE READ THE FIRST TIFFANY ACHING BOOKS BUT WON'T BE READING THE REST, THEY WEREN'T FOR ME.
HAVEN'T READ ANY OF THE MOIST VON LIPWIG BOOKS YET.

MY FAVORITE WITCH BOOK IS EITHER WITCHES ABROAD OR WYRD SISTERS.

I DIDN'T MUCH CARE FOR THE VIMES BOOKS LAST TIME I TRIED THEM (GUARDS! GUARDS!)

MY FAVE DEATH BOOK IS LIKELY REAPER MAN.

POKEMON BLUE RESCUE TEAM... THAT BRINGS BACK MEMORIES.... HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?

I HAVEN'T READ ANY RINCEWIND BOOKS. I'LL LIKELY COLLECT A FEW OF THOSE NEXT, OR ASK FOR THEM FOR CHRISTMAS. *MENTALLY CONSIDERS MY OVERFLOWING CHRISTMAS LIST* OH, DEAR.

AS FOR POKEMON BRT: THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I'VE BOUGHT IT. THE FIRST WAS NOT THAT LONG AFTER I GOT MY FIRST POKEMON GAME, PEARL [ALSO MY FIRST VIDEO GAME EVER], AND THE SECOND WAS WHEN I GAVE IT AWAY AND WANTED IT BACK. I HAVE AN ANNOYING HABIT OF DOING THAT--GIVING THEM AWAY AND THEM SCRAMBLING TO GET THEM BACK. *SIGH*

BY THE WAY, HOW DOES DEATH SOUND LIKE TO YOU GUYS [THAT IS, HOW DO YOU IMAGINE HIS VOICE?] TO ME, HE SOUNDS LIKE CHRISTOPHER LEE.

@KURAUDO: CHRISTOPHER LEE VERY POSSIBLE. PETER CUSHING, TOO. BUT I'M OLD, OLD, OLD; TO ME HE SOUNDS LIKE JAMES EARL JONES. WITHOUT THE DARTH VADER HEAVY BREATHING. BASSO PROFUNDO!

@SKILPADDE: SPEAKING OF THE LAST CONTINENT, FOLKS THERE DID "RUN RINCEWIND RUN" FOR A CON. VIMEO, LET ME SEE IF I CAN EMBED IT DIRECTLY. NOPE. IT MAKES WAAAAY MORE SENSE WHEN YOU'VE READ THE RINCEWIND BOOKS; IT'S A SILLYSWEET MEMORIAL TO PRATCHETT NOW. THEY COULDN'T MANAGE THE LUGGAGE, ALAS. (EDIT IN: APOLOGIES IF YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS ONE. IT HAS BEEN DECADES SINCE I'VE KNOWN MANY PEOPLE WITH EXTENSIVE OVERLAP IN SHARED INTERESTS.)

I HAD FAMILY IN RF/AEROSPACE ENGINEERING; LIFELONG NASA GROUPIE; ERROL THE DRAGON IN GUARDS! GUARDS! BLEW ME AWAY. (HAH, LITERALLY)

KURAUDO, YOUR AVATAR IS SO CUTE, WHAT IS IT? OR WHO?

HI TO BOO-THE-CAT FROM EMILY-THE-CAT WHO IS NEXT TO ME GNAWING GENTLY ON MY ELBOW (SHE'S A LOVE-BITER, SO CUTE) AND LULU-THE-CAT WHO IS ON THE TABLETOP OBSERVING EMILY'S ANTICS WITH DISDAIN.

(@KYLE THE GHOST: BOO-BOO-PA-DOO HAPPY HALLOWEEN TOO! )

(EDIT IN: AW, POO, I MIGHT AS WELL. HERE'S A VIMEO I HAVE BOOKMARKED, IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT. GRAPHICS TO DIE FOR. MOVES ME TO TEARS. MAYBE BECAUSE I STILL MOURN SIR TERRY.

^BOO'S MEOWING NOW BECAUSE SHE WANTS ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO HER. THIS CHAIR IS A BIT TOO SMALL FOR BOTH OF US. SHE LOVE BITES, TOO, BUT GENTLY-[ISH].

MY AVATAR IS MEW, A LEGENDARY POKEMON FROM THE FIRST GENERATION OF POKEMON GAMES:
