Downtown Khazan: Siriel's Temporary Edition

[FarBeyondC]

Eh, I live in south Alabama. When we do get snow down here it's like a biblical plague. Snow? We got no defense for that, no context with which to judge it. Snow is like a Godzilla attack, some science fiction disaster we can't be expected to believe in or prepare for. This is a land where we hide from the sun like it's the popo. Ice on the road? What is that? How is that even possible? Hell, I went out west once and thought the laws of nature had been suspended because it was summer and there was no or little humidity. We sweat like buckets in the shade here as God intended, we deal with heat. Cold is like some apocalyptic thing we occasionally deal with when winter rolls around, snow on the ground is like a vision of Dante's ninth circle of hell here. Three hours to get one mile? Hell you'd need the national guard to plan out an escape route for just half an inch of the stuff here.

How south?

Because where I am, it isn't that bad when snow hits.

Warm Bodies looks like a necrophilia movie, considering it's marketed like a love story between a zombie and a woman.

I thought Dracula had a monopoly on starring in necrophilia movies?
Oldman should be pissed.

[Vakanai]

I could walk to Florida right now in under five minutes, and I walk with a limp.
Not exaggerating, I could see the state line if I just walk a block over.

[FarBeyondC]

That's... pretty south.

Now that I know where you live in general, it's time to storm the border.

Well, if I wasn't so lazy.

[Vakanai]

If I ever find myself in a shootout, this will be the music to which my bullets shall fly.

Because the world needs a polka shootout.

[Vakanai]

That's... pretty south.

Told ya. You literally can't get further south and still be in this state.
Flomaton Alabama: Florida's tiny hat.

[Sharkerbob]

Well, you can have the 'out there' crazy insane Deadpool like crazy... Which everyone seems to like, and has definitely gotten annoying.

I fucking hate Deadpool at this point. Almost as much as I hate Batman.

Or there's the subtle kind of insane, where they look, act, and for the most part feel normal, but there's these occasional slips where you see through the act they're putting up at what's really going on in their noggin.

Subtlety is a lost art. This is more up my ally. I could roll with that.

Little more complicated than I normally try doing, but hey seems fun.

I'm curious of the character at this point. Lemme know if you figure it out.

I'm so subtle it's like a secret.

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

Ah, Britain - you art quite the worst country in the world at dealing with weather.

The city I live in has had about 2-3 inches of snow, and yet all the morons panic, buy ludicrous amounts of food as if some bizarre nuclear holocaust is anticipated, and utterly forget how to drive.

I popped out in the car to quickly pick up some tickets at a cinema that's all of about half a mile from home. Round-trip = 1 mile. Easy, right?

Average speed = 3hpm. Yes, that's hpm, not mph. 3 fricking hours.

Over here, more than a meter of snow paralyzed the streets for all of a day (though walking remained bothersome for a few more days afterward.). I always love hearing about how other places deal with snow because it's almost always hilarious.

Alaska finds most countries attempts at handling snow adorable.

Meh, zombies are alive in the broader sense despite biological death, an if he or she is consenting then there isn't really anything objectionable going on.

[Cthulhu_of_R'yleh]

I fucking hate Deadpool at this point. Almost as much as I hate Batman.

He's one of my favorites, but it's getting to the point where he's becoming that guy that literally everyone loves, but doesn't know anything about except for 'he's insane' and that just makes everything worse.

Subtlety is a lost art. This is more up my ally. I could roll with that.

If and when I sort her out, I'll let you know.

Chances are I'll write a back story and all the good stuff to go with.

Yeah, I figured that you, Sharp, AJ Valliant and Ghost (at least) would die laughing at our utter inepticraptitude as a nation.

But it's not just snow.

We get heavy rain for a couple of days? Floods. Floods everywhere. Dozens of rivers that pepper the place break their banks.

But mild rain? Drizzle? That's pretty normal. It rains about 350 days a year.

So why is it that if this island (ISLAND!); that is peppered with rivers and where it rains 350 days a year; gets two consecutive hot, dry, sunny days, we have a drought. Seriously. Hose-pipe bans, the lot.

Frickin' useless.

Bland weather is fine. We can deal with bland. Anything else? We're screwed.

Least you can't get hurricanes.

[Chou Blaster]

Unless you are Loki anyway. *cough* Sleipnir *cough*

Yeah, Loki is a master of magic.

I think that story was different though, it comes like this. (Chou version.)

*Odin, reading on Fate.*

Loki: Odin old buddy, what are you doing?

Odin: Looking into the future.

Loki: HA! That is for girls!

Odin: Oh!?

Loki; YEAH!

Odin: YEAH!? :Zaps him, turning him female.: HA! Now your a girl!

Loki: Whatever, man, woman, if I get laid. I get laid.

:Latter, has the mentioned horse.:

As for Warm Bodies: They did it with Twilight (Vampires.) Why not zombies? (And in the world of that one, there are two undeads, our hero ones, and the REALLY monster ones.)

Edit: Hey Vak, you think that's hard?

Try South Carolina. We get hurricanes. Snow every two to five years.

Tornadoes. And sometimes, even a Earthquake.

Not to mention the beach now has big ass sharks.

I knew Gates was working on HAL...
