Donate some to a needy student... *cough*....

Hey, now, I'm a student, too.
I'm diligently learning what it's like going through life not living week-to-week.

At least, I'm looking forward to learning about that.

And I'll so fucking drink to that.

Dammit all, I drank the last of the booze in the apartment on Sat night.

And you...didn't procure more?
What kind of drinker are you, Night.

I smell an opportunity for illegal insider trading!

The best part about rez, its super easy to sell off my first year textbooks, all my neighbours want to buy them since I sell cheaper than the bookstore, and its more convieant then tracking down poeple who put up posters. Hell I should sell off some of my friends books for a small commission. Get more money back then the book store would give you.

By the time Im done selling my books I will have made $250, and most of them I already found buyers for.

I always keep my books, because first of all - I didn't read them, but I really want to someday; and because they are mostly good poli sci crap, that I'll always be able to use for future reference, research, etc.

I want to have a cool library someday. Floor to ceiling shelves, with lots of leather furniture. I'll go there to smoke my pipe, and I'll have a smoking jacket. All of you are welcomed. Well, the house-trained ones at least..

That sounds like my kinda place. However, there need to be a few additions.

1) Huge stone fireplace with mahogany mantle with animal trophy above it.
2) Billiard table, and you have to call it a billiard table, pool table sounds so proletariat.
3) Corner bar stocked with all manner of scoth and bourbon, shelves to be made of mahogany, of course

That would make the ultimate room.

Ah, libraries are all going to be one book in the next 20-50 years anyway, once they invent a screen that isn't bothersome on the eyes..

Sure, public libraries, perhaps.

But technology can never replace the feeling of picking up an old, leather bound book, and slowly turning the pages while sitting in a bay window, listening as the rain falls outside.

Or wrapping up in a blanket in the big chair by the fireplace reading old, dusty novels while the blizzard winds blow outside.

Somehow, technology seems to cheapen literature.

You'd think so, but you'd be wrong.

Nah, just kidding. I know what you mean.

Although, the only thing there that would be tricky to replicate is the turning of the pages, and I'm sure some nutjob could come up with a solution to that one.

why not read some newgrounds posts and blast your speakers with Jungle music!

I have asthma and I am allergic to dust! Knowing my luck the blanket would catch in the fire and I would burn... that wouldn't happen with a computer would it?

but yet enrich us in vocabulary and intelect

Are you saying you would prefer 1600 rather than 2100?

No, I'm just saying that there is something about reading an actual hard copy of a book that is somewhat more fulfilling than reading it in an electronic form. I'm not saying we should revert back to placing all text on paper, or anything of the sort. Nor was there any reason for you to think that me expressing a fondness for actual books over electronic text was somehow support for reverting society back to the way it was five centuries ago.

1600! I mean, who doesn't like the lack of toilet paper and indoor plumbing?

The modern-day flushing toilet was invented in 1596, actually. Another argument goes down the drain. :P

I might be a corporal before Christmas. Sweetness.

congrats man...so thats like what? uber private? sargeant with "friends with bennifits" privlages to a general?

It's a really, really long story, but I'll explain it when I get to come home this weekend. At least Mississippi has power again, so I do actually get to go home. Too bad phone lines are fucked though.

It's E-3, or above Private 1st Class, but below Seargent. Right now I'm a new cadet private. E-1.

But how many homes were they in? I'm sure the middle class, which didn't really pick up until a few centuries later, wouldn't have had one of those fine inventions in their water closets.

I'm not so sure the 1600s would be so bad, though. The pace of life was probably a little less ulcer-inducing and you could challenge a man to a fight to the death if he offended you. *sigh* Those were some simple times. When's the last time you've ever enjoyed a good old-fashioned death match over a clash of words? Well, that's too long.

WRAITH!!!!!! So how are you liking military school?

Wait, when did Wraith get sent to military school and why?

Actually, that toilet was nothing like the modern day toilet, and it was developed for Queen Elizabeth, who had the only one of it's kind. In fact, she hated it because it had a pipe leading directly down, so the fumes of the feces would travel up and it would smell up the room.

But then I wouldn't get the satisfaction of having people like you tell me where to look instead of doing it for myself. I'm not a wealthy man, so please, leave me to my delusions.

oh yeah, thanks
