Fuzziness

So, to balance out the previous post... random fun-stuff posting.

The current Sam and Fuzzy storyline (I just got back to reading them regularly, catching up now) is parodying Twilight. And is quite funny. I am especially liking the Q&A sessions. To quote from some:

"I'm now curious what your feelings on Twilight are, since you're doing
a spoof on it now. Spill it (information, not blood)!" -Raynald

I have never read more that two consecutive words of Twilight. And I'm not gonna.

Consider Edwin a parody more of decades of wanky vampire goth romance than of its most recent iteration specifically. That's probably why Edwin looks more like a normal vampire with actual fangs, unlike the vampires in Twilight who don't have AUGH WHY DO I EVEN KNOW THIS?

// I have these AUGH moments about Twilight, too. And, as I will be happy to tell people, went from "I'll read it before I join in the funmaking" to "The end was the word 'sparkle'".

"So a correction for the latest round of Q&A. Kraze tried to point out an
inaccuracy with the swords that the Ninja Mafia use, stating that real
ninjas used katana. This is only partly true. Ninjas arose from peasants
and farmers with samurai being the preferred upper-crust warrior class.
This means that a ninja could not afford to have a katana made for him and
instead equipped himself with shorter, straight swords. These swords were
cheaper, easier to conceal, and were used in more of a stabbing motion
rather than the hacking swing of a katana. However, there were a few
instances where a ninja could acquire a katana. If he killed a samurai he
could claim his sword, and I wouldn't be surprised if a ninja performing
services for a samurai was equipped with one, as katanas were sharper and stronger. So, the blades used by your ninja mafia are actually fairly
accurate. Not that you needed an excuse, but now you have one!" -Steven

I'll take it! And thanks to the tons of other folks who also wrote in to defend my completely unintentional accuracy. Apparently there are a lot of sword experts in the audience.

//I actually looked back after reading the original 'inaccuracy' post, and also noted that the swords appeared to be what I have seen called koga swords, or commonly, ninja swords. I am highly amused about the flood of folks who also made this observation, and informed Sam.

In other fun things, I have noms! =^_^= Took a plate of really good hors d'oeuvres from the dining hall before aikido, and found they were indeed good enough to eat cold. Happy moment :) And all of them were vegetarian, too. More goodness.
And, finally ordering my memory wire; ended up just ordering through Amazon. Found a store with it cheap enough in lengths I can use for testing, ordering the beta supplies now, and will decide if the thickness is usable, or if i should bump up for the project. As a side note, they also have springs, o-rings, and metal tubes (materials necessary to Angel-breech-mod a nerf gun).
So, fun hijinks ensue. Hopefully on campus, too; wish i could round up a group of building hackers... have run into it in conversation enough over the last week that it may be reality (uber-happiness) ^_^!
