OW MY THINK PAN: What MSPA has made me do (weird coincidences two!)

[Bandages]

I want ICP and Rob Zombie to team up and make the best horror movie of all time

(After we get a Karl Pilkington voicepack for Wheatley in Portal 2)

Yesterday, my local Homestuck fan group got together at a big park for a potluck barbecue (the weather ended up being fantastic, too). We'd planned this a good month and a half in advance. It turned out, though, that there was a street band festival/competition going on in the park at the same time, that none of us knew about (I don't think most of use even knew there was such a thing as street bands). Fortunately, they were performing not too close to where the grills were, so nobody was in anybody's way, and we got to listen to some cool, brass-heavy music while we ate and hung out. The festival was a big regional thing, with bands from all along the west coast in attendance. As it turned out, there where more than a few Homestuck fans present there as well. At least three times, we had people come up and say "Whoa, is this a Homestuck meet?" and hang out a bit before/after performing. A good time was had by all.

That wasn't the best part, though. No, the best part was the name of the festival, which was emblazoned on a big banner at the entrance to the park. The name of this musical get-together?

HONK Fest. Allcaps honk and everything.

A web-comic I've been reading for years is in it's final strides. The author is wrapping up loose plot ends accumulated over the years, and I hope the ending will be appropriately epic and satisfying.

Anyway, I just realized that in Starslip (the comic in question), one of the major events was the relocation of the entire cast to a parallel timeline set 2 years in the past. They did this to escape being erased from history (or retconned into different characters) during a certain cosmic reset. The event was followed by an overhaul of the site and an art style change.

I just suddenly realized how similar the Scratch is to it in this regard. But in Homestuck, after the reset, the cast finds itself (or will be going to have found itself) two years in the future instead.

Oh, and the date of the reset? January 9, 2009.

When I'm at my computer after school, the time always shows 4:13. I have such a rythym it simply always happens.

[Menshay]

I'm currently writing a program for a final examination. I needed some random numeric codes for debugging purposes. This happened:

	public static final int PRINTPATHS=413;
	public static final int ALLCELLPATHS=612;
	public static final int CREATETILE=1025;

From Noah and Saskia, an Australian TV show from 2004:

School used that as an example image.

Instead of going "oh nooooooo angles" I went "FELT!!1!1 oh wait OH NOOOO ANGLES".

So this past week in TAG class, we've been creating a huge civilization. When it came to religion, I came up with one called tridecism. Everyone accepted it immediately. It revolves around the number... 13. B) And then when it came to the gods... I made one for every zodiac sign. Including Ophiucus. And I did my duty and snuck some references in. The Cancer one is Karkat, the Virgo one is Maryam, and the Aquarius one is Eridanus.

[Daniel990]

Ophiucus

Ophiuchus.

I feel nice today, so I'll just whisper surreptitiously to you that quirks aren't allowed in the main parts of the forum.

THIS IS SO WEIRD

My patron troll is Kanaya, like Rose. My brother's is Terezi, like Dave. My dad's is Vriska, like John. My mom's is Nepeta, unfortunately, but my dad *does* have a sister... I don't happen to know her birthday though.

I saw this and thought, "that sounds like a joke name the player would try to give a Homestuck character."

Weedlord Bonerhitler might be the best name ever

In case the picture doesn't show up, there is apparently a man named Dick Butts out there.

The "Let's See how Far We've come" song came on the radio just now.

I could close my eyes and practically watch this in my head. I would have just kept this to myself, but "How do I live"came on right afterwards.

SHOCK.

Formerly-mutual brorail (who I got into reading Homestuck) admitted red feelings for me and shit went down. I eventually explained it to other MSPA-reading friends with the Eridan-Feferi anecdote.
Getting into the red quadrant through the pale? Oldest trick in the book.
Feels lousy.

Have you ever heard of Richard Cheese.
It's a stage name, but I still needed someone else pointing it out before I noticed.

Because god forbid a friend could developed stronger feelings, or someone could feel that a strong friendship functions as the best basis for a deeper relationship, right?

Sure your situation may be different, but that's no reason to treat the situation in such a black and white context. Trying to further an already established relationship is anything but a trick.

My sister's school used to have a faculty member named Dick Sweener.

Seconded, stuff like this can just develop without the guy even wanting it to, it isn't always a trick.

Ditto.

If I don't read it that way the first time, my brain automatically re-reads it that way.

Super deudly sp8ders, guys.

I've continually called my best friend my Moirail and also do John's stupid confused head...motion thing. I also occasionally lisp and type like Sollux to annoy my friends.
