The official, amazing, aimless chitchat thread.
So this is where we go to make small talk that doesn't really fit into other threads.
It's the thread with no attention span!
Frequent, arbitrary changes of topic are encouraged. In fact, they are mandatory.
So, I was just thinking, wouldn't it be awesome to have the decor in each room of your house be inspired by a food? Like, I was cutting up eggplant today, making my accidental eggplant chips, and I though, wow, this eggplant looks so pretty against this green plate! I would love to have a room inspired entirely by eggplant colors. And then I thought there could be ones inspired by mangoes and apples and sweet potatoes and pretty much any other pretty food.
Hey, a friend of mine made these really awesome mosaics of all her food pictures based on color. THIS is what I mean:

So, what was I saying?
Oh man those Jerusalem crickets look freaky to me!
Yea weta are everywhere here but you don't see them that often. They are totally harmless, just large (though not usually as large as that giant one that just hit the news) and sometimes they give me a fright. I don't mind them though, they're so big they're kinda cute.
And yep, LOTR accents are definitely not NZ accents. But we have recorded what we sound like on a couple of threads around here if you want to check out our delightful sounds haha.
Those JCs look kinda sweet, actually--in deformed, alien life form sort of way.
PG, may I suggest the following non-swear words?
Shamus Heaney!! (from Liam Neeson--fact)
Sugar cookies
Bull cookies
Horse hockey
Son of a Belgian bird dog
And you can always fall back on Shakespeare. Macbeth says to one of the witches, "Aroint thee, witch!" I love the way it sounds. "Arrrrrrroint thee!" It means exactly what you think it does.
Also, the writings of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. He has sooo many equivalents to the F word that no one uses anymore. Such as "pudder" and "swive." There's something in the sound of that.
"Oh, swive that for a game of soldiers."
yeah, there's definitely no living in New Zealand and not knowing what a weta is.
I really like them, but have known more than a few people to get damn freaked out.
The recent news article Theo mentioned:

I love that phrase, "experienced weta breeder." It also doubles as a tongue-twister!! ;)
I'm here in my new apt (not moved, just cleaning and stuff), and it's a weekend night, and... it's silent. Either this complex is full of old people or these are the least apartment-like walls I've had.
If it's all old people, I'll feel bad about making, like, regular noise.
o_o
if it's all old people, chances are they'll be hard of hearing - make as much noise as you want! : )
GOOD POINT
I KNOW
AND YOU CAN SPEAK LOUDLY LIKE THIS, BECAUSE THEY WON'T HEAR YOU!
MORE SHOUTING!!
This is what happened when we had Millie the whippet staying with us for a few days (that would be Millie in Hugo's bed and Hugo in Millie's, which is too small for him).

I feel like it's a rule that this type of thing has to happen
