Read it again. I'm sure it'll make sense.

Now here is a question for you from me! Do you enjoy pickled ginger with your sushi?

Tolden has raised an excellent point. This is *not* the time to dodge questions that could involve military preparedness and national security. Millieway, you will respond--or you will be faced with the consequences.

As for what those are, let's just state that they involve two dead mackerel, a strip shop, and a bust of Queen Victoria. Don't make us do things we won't regret!

I disagree. I believe I have answered the question quite satisfactory. Especially when taking the nature of question in consideration.

Here is an example:

Jill: What on earth has happened in here? Why does our door look like that?
Jack: Well, you remember Bob, the ironmonger from Petunia Street. He had a real bargain offer, a bucket of red paint for a pound. And since you’ve nagged about how the door should be repainted, I took the initiative. Too bad the red paint ran out when I still had half of the door to paint, but luckily, I found some yellow paint in the garage to finish it. Since I found little bit of blue paint left too, I decided to decorate our newly painted door with some blue dots. I left the door to dry, went inside, where I felt my urge to smoke, I grasped for my cigarettes, and headed outside for a quick smoke. As I usually do - I leaned on the door, but I am afraid the paint was still a bit wet, and here we are.


About pickled ginger and sushi; I once thought ginger was green. Majority of the spices I use to spice up my cooking tend to be green. Thus, I would say the misconception is understandable. I did indeed once try pickled ginger - by pickling the ginger by myself. Nevertheless, I am not sure if I did it right, or if I allowed it to be too fermented. After closer inspection, it contained rather large quantities of ethanol, the taste was not as bad as you could imagine. However, my memory is a little bit foggy on what happened afterwards.

I must say that pickled pickles and sushi do mix up rather well. I wouldn’t eat raw or dried fish without some pickles to accompany it on the plate.


As for as it goes to things Fable has expressed: HAH! You’ll never catch me storing kegs of gun powder under the House of Parliament.

@millieway

....Yeah, I realize this is a spam thread...but jeez. I was asking why you are called Millieway, as in what significance does the name have. There was no need to twist the context to suit your answer better.

Here, I'll even go first if it's that big a deal...

"Siberys, why are you called Siberys?"

Well, it's because of my favorite dungeons and dragons setting known as Eberron that created this mystery about Siberys Dragonshards, which are gems that fall from the sky as if a very regular meteor shower in an unexplored continent. The unpredictability, Elusiveness, and Aloofness of how a siberys shard falls represents a good chunk of my personality, as I am a short term thinking person and do things one at a time to see where I go from there.

Now...Millieway, why are you called Millieway?

Exactly.
It's a lot easier to find a parliament with rail road tracks going under it. Load the train with gunpowder instead and take the train there. Saves you a lot of carrying.

What do you prefer to store under Parliament, then? Just curious.

By the way, welcome to SYM. You and Tolden clearly are meant for this place, just as we all are, and I mean that in the worst way. Feel free to check out all the serious threads, and the spam threads, and the very spam threads that slowly cause your brains to leak out through your nose. In fact, it's because of this last that we regularly recommend to new SYMians that they not read the forum while eating, since brain matter tends to be salty, and everybody will tell you that salty food is bad for you.

That's right. And don't forget to wear a mask of Guy Fawkes.

Another mystery solved! I was erroneously attributing the symptoms of my own brain malfunction to cravings for irish cream and chocolate eclairs...

[Siberys]

That's right. And don't forget to wear a mask of Guy Fawkes.

I've always wondered, now that we have the capability of cloning even just parts of a body, wouldn't be a better tribute if we wore the actual face of Guy Fawkes?

.....nope, now that I think of it, that's just sick

This being SYM, what's the problem with that?

What can I say? It seems you are smart enough or not smart enough not to play along with me. I do not think this can be used to figure out how smart someone might be. Nevertheless, you did not play along with me and that is for sure. Thus, you asked a question, I answered to your question. You asked again, and I would still answer the same.

So, can you tell me what makes you think usernames have significance?

Why do I have feeling I should be spouting something like this:

Mala fide, magnum bonum, is achieved by this mere Master of Arts, as member of newly founded marquis, standing with mantic mandate to match the malevolent men whom have spread like miasma, murdering, mutilating this monostichous Mulley of a mob. Mob left mordacious, by these misologist, minacious towards minds not controlled by mendacity… … leaving me with motion of momentaneous need for change, myself facing metanoia, metonymy to bring down this monarch ruling unduly.
Thus, you may call me M.

Cucumbers. Gunpowder is so 17th century. Kegs of cucumbers are far more deadly- :P

[Siberys]

So, can you tell me what makes you think usernames have significance?

I don't. But you also have yet to even say "Because I like the sound of the name" or something to that effect.

You evaded a question not needing avoidance. That simple.

Yeah, this new SYMian will definitely do.

Not to mention possessing an innate ability to rise and stab to death sitting members of Parliament right through their hearts! Or some'at in the general vicinity thereof.

Stabbing right through their hearts using cucumbers?

Man...

... that's cute.

You are SO evil, fable.

Well, up through their...how shall I put this..."soft underbelly" will have to be the Churchillian euphemism of the day, I suppose. But being politicians, I was thinking of an entirely different location to secure entry for the cucumber. Which would then be aimed straight at the heart, which in most politicians, lies very close to the anal orifice.

Oh, pardon me. I've given away the game, haven't I? Yeah, I'm evil that way. But politicians...? I'm nowhere near their class. That's another order of evil, altogether. I think even the silliest and most evil enemy in some ridiculous action game would take a distant second place behind those who seek power over others to the benefit of their own egos and wallets, and those of their associates.

But I honestly cannot say anything of that effect. I repeat again, what I repeated last time.
I suppose I could alter my question a little; what makes you think my username has significance?

I am amused, and yet horrified. Although, I cannot deny how a cucumber - with weight of several kilos - couldn’t be used as a blunt weapon. Yet I cannot truly approve with your approach. It just feels so inhumane, even when done to politicians.

However, you could use the cucumber as a chemical weapon. Just let the cucumbers grow until they’ve reached weight of at least one kilo. Pick them up, and leave them laying in the sun to ferment for several days or until the surface of the cucumber is yellow. Though the surface of the cucumber is still appears to be very much solid, what lies inside the cucumber is yellowish guck with stench so horrid it can make you want to vomit your own intestines out.

Therefore, kegs filled with cucumbers, left to ferment at their own pace. And even if someone would get suspicious about the odd stench going around the parliament, I suppose the politicians would just think it is just the stench of the next scandal in the wind…

Morbid.




However, in order to return this back to on topic; Fable, can you stand on your one leg?
