The "I don't want to talk about AI" thread, and the new topic is: brushes with Death

[NuclearFairy]

Blasphemy!

You're right, they probably heard that you're stealing them from the ducks and not eating them.

 

[Omenainen]

Why is it brushes with death and not brunches with death? Or will the brunch be on Sunday?

Oh, and everyone says that I keep dragging eggs back into the conversation!

Because he's English and so it'd be second breakfast.

All English are hobbits, right?

So we will brush eggs on this hobbit breakfast with Death? Is this the plan?

Sounds like a plan!

Sounds like a plan!

If it sounds like a plan, and smells like a plan, it’s probably a duck’s egg.

Never heard that slang.

Also geese eggs are amazing.

Actually I tried that as a pickup line in the bar "Hey baby, wanna play with my eggs?" and oddly, all it ever got me was a slap in a face. Maybe they were all allergic to eggs.

eta: and they were worried it would result in a brush with death. BOOM! I kept it on topic!!!

Nice turn around there! I'm impressed!

Fun factoid (AKA this sounds plausible but I've never bothered to check it): the "love" score in tennis derives from the French "l'oeuf", meaning "the egg".

Brunch is second breakfast with alcohol. Or second breakfast is brunch without alcohol.

I'm the approximate shape and size, but my feet aren't hairy enough.

That can’t be right, I can’t imagine Brits without alcohol

There's usually enough alcohol left in our blood from the night before.

Nope! *happy grin* Can't say I have! Nor do I particularly care - this place is a swamp stew, all SORTS of crap bubbling hither and yon....

It would take more than lightning to knock me speechless.

My boss once fell asleep at the wheel when I was in the car...a death shaped gulley was narrowly avoided.

Lightning icon? Where is it?

 

[cw5523729]

Lightning icon? Where is it?

It only shows up on the mobile devices. It's the equivalent of "What's New" on the desktop but on the mobile device the icon for notifications is right next to that lightning bolt/what's new icon

I nearly walked into a hippo when I was 10. It was night time and I was out in the hotel grounds, looking up at the monkeys in the trees with my torch. Didn't know the hippo was there until it grunted. I brought my torch down to find it about a meter away. Luckily, I was shining my torch right in it's eye and was able to back way, flooded by hot fear.

It was a big beast.

Three days later, the authorities shot a hippo in the same spot as it had a festering arrow wound and was behaving aggressively.

That's my brush with death story. Hard to work into an erotic tale really, but feel free!

Those few hours every day when the alcohol in our blood wears off but it's not acceptable to start drinking yet, that's our daily brush with death!

I've been struck (and knocked to the ground) by one truck, two cars, and a light rail train. Only one event had a contribution from my own carelessness. Survived them all but insurance companies run away when they see me coming.
