So if I could care less, I suppose I care juuust enough to complain that I don't much care. [lol]


Even if you've only heard a phrase, I'd think a native speaker of the language would understand when they've heard something wrong... I die a little inside whenever I hear/see 'a hard road to hoe'. What planet are you from where roads and hoeing have anything to do with one another? [cry] Although I guess I could be generous and assume that the writer is from the city and is more familiar with prostitution than farming...

Another one that Mom's boss types all the time is 'cover all your basis.' I could aaaalmost forgive that if the woman wasn't a diehard baseball fan. [headdesk]

Hahaha. Dang it would suck to be the person regularly hoeing roads. Worst. Job. Ever.
Cover all your basis? How does that even make any sense at all? What the heck?
I had a boss the would randomly add quotation marks into her notes to us. She would ask us to do things like unpack "2" boxes. Or "sign" the sheet. I kept imagining her saying it with air quotes and then I would get all confused. Like...wait, we're not really supposed to unpack 2 boxes? How many are we supposed to unpack? Is 2 a code word or something? I'M SO CONFUSED! Haha.

Well, I always saw saying "I couldn't care less" as response to whining + asking for help. So it's like "oh, you've got blahblahblah issues and need my money? Honestly, I couldn't care less... Off with your head. Ahem, be gone."

steelmagghia 01-11-2014 11:42 PM

Haha. Sadrain, dear, are you secretly the Red Queen?

sadrain 01-11-2014 11:44 PM

[ninja] You shall never know... Now, is the Rabbit late again or is it just me?

steelmagghia 01-11-2014 11:47 PM

Of course, of course. *hides the red painted roses*

Wyrmskyld 01-11-2014 11:49 PM

* Tries to placate Sadrain with a game of flamingo croquet!*

sadrain 01-11-2014 11:57 PM

.... Are we offtopic or what?

steelmagghia 01-11-2014 11:59 PM

Haha. Well, this is what happens when you have twenty theme ideas and two more weeks until we can vote on themes.

Wyrmskyld 01-12-2014 12:07 AM

Yeah, I hate it... but we really should keep waiting. *sigh* There were very good reasons for that, although my impatience is hiding them from me at the moment.

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 12:19 AM

I totally feel exactly the same way, Wyrm dear. I know it's a good idea, but only in my head. Everywhere else really wants to vote NOOOOW. Haha. As long as we keep reminding each other that this is the best idea, we'll be okay.

Also, I think it's good for those of us who are planning on helping with the event to bond in a place like this. I think it will make us a more cohesive unit.

BrotherOfDarkness 01-12-2014 12:29 AM

*sits in a corner holding knees! blabbering, rocking backwards and forwards saying "just wait a little longer, a little longer"......for some reason naked and on fire!*

Okay some other ideas then while we are waiting?

Rival Rags...
Now the Menewsha Minute is firmly established and taken into Menewshans hearts, it seems other islands want in on the act... Oh no a ratings war has started! The Island Chain Gazette or (insert name here) and it's news team have started to get in on the action!
How is it they seem to be one step ahead of the Menewshan Minute, and they're always there when the big news stories and disasters occur? How could the Minute stay number one, will you help and be one of our field reporters? Or an investigative reporter and find out the sinister truths behind this unscrupulous Red Top?

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 12:37 AM

Ooh, that's super interesting, BoD!

Wyrmskyld 01-12-2014 12:44 AM

Is it sad that I'd be kind of tempted to write for the rival paper just to be contrary? XD

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 12:47 AM

Oh I totally think we should have people pick sides on that one. And the winning team members would be entered into a raffle for whatever our best prize was.

PrincessKasumi 01-12-2014 01:00 AM

keep bringing forth wonderful ideas guys!

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 01:01 AM

Haha, at the moment, all I can think about is naptime, Kasumi. And Naptime for Menewsha sounds like a terrible User Event. Unless it's a sandman/Rip Van Winkle event.

That'd be interesting wouldn't it! Have controversial stories about the mayor and the photo involving AfroDonkey!

Never thought of that, it would be cool

Hmm I'd join you on hosting an event themed with that! Zzzzzzzz [zzz]

Wyrmskyld 01-12-2014 01:05 AM

* Shares popcorn with everyone* I dunno... maybe the sandman is running around putting all the NPCs to sleep and we have to save them!

Although I guess that would fit best as part of some of the other themes... the superhero or fairy tale ones come to mind especially.

I like that idea that sandman is putting NPCs or even Menewshans to sleep in a game!



Another idea


Tourney Time or Menewshan Medieval Merriment

The annual renaissance faire has begun, this time the founder (enter NPCs name) has decided to increase it from fighting with wooden swords with Lance in their bedrooms , and open it to everyone! So as you walk through the palisade and beneath the portcullis, amongst the Panaches, pavillions and Pages you start to think how did NPC get everything looking... And smelling so realistic. Even down to that ragged looking beggar and that ahh! Head on a spike, oh dear your not in Kansas anymore, hey not even the 21st century!
Join the festivities and merriment, from Jousting, and the mellees, to pageants and cook up a storm with the feasts!

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 01:08 AM

Haha. Sounds like someone else is as tired as I am!
Oh jeez, Brother. I LOOOVE Renaissance Fair stuff. I could draw Menewshans in period costumes! Eeee!

Wyrmskyld 01-12-2014 01:12 AM

it's a pretty great idea... people could bet on jousting, and the food competition could be period recipes-- that would actually be quite a challenge.

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 01:14 AM

AH Puppy Bowl is coming up. Eeeeee. I'm so excited. Sorry, random side note, haha.

PrincessKasumi 01-12-2014 01:17 AM

TACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...... (wait for it)....RAAANGAAAAR~♫

sadrain 01-12-2014 01:30 AM

I... Totally spaced out on cat videos and vines. *sob* So MUCH time... Spent laughing.

steelmagghia 01-12-2014 01:32 AM

Cat videos really are just awesome, sadrain.
