I reject my reality, and substitute the reality from an unrelated book

[active_apathy]

If you find hidden meaning in the post title, you're looking too hard.

So! Here we have an entry which is called daily but is, in reality, visited upon my readership... well, now, actually. And I do mean to post daily.

Except that I, um, haven't been. Posting, that is, because you can't not be on a boat.

My only random observation for today comes from the commentary from the commonwealth games swimming, where, in passing, I heard one of the competitors referred to as a "champion IMer".

A champion IMer. Yey.

I'm sure it'll be useful for medal-winning performances in the 100-characters text. The AIMer throw. The MSN marathon. The IRC Relay. The... I'm sure you get the point.

So, this random swimmer is apparently a champion IMer. I'm fairly sure this means that not only does he touch the wall, he then goes on to type a message like "OMGWTFBBQ im liek furst wear r u guys omg u suxxorz hahaha" with an inbuilt keypad.

Or something.

In other news, I have memeness, plundered from raptor_au. So!



What kind of pirate am I? You decide!



Here be a breakdown of results, or ye lubbers can plunder this for yon elljays, yarr!
Plundered from Rum and Monkey, arrr.

My inbox hasn't taken a beating lately - permission to metaquote?

Granted like a... um... a granted thing. :)

Eeee!

Heh. I stopped listening to the commentators after they kept going on about how probably-Leisel-Jones had "decimated" the world record (o rly? That would be an interesting new record...for all of the two seconds before she's banned for steroid abuse). They do say such utter tripe (ew, tripe!).

And speaking of tripe, and other disgusting internal jigamawhatses that can be turned into food colourful piratical speech, you may be a womanly pirate, but I salutes me captain. What be yarr orders?

To port! Bring a port to sherry! And a medium-dry sherry to port!

The commentators can make for accidental funny; especially the Nine commentators, whose uselessness is almost enough to make you pine for Bruce and Les. With Bruce, you know where you stand - there's an electric atmosphere and a showcase, and a couple of gauntlets get tossed about. With Les, you know you can distract him with a soccerball.

Also, *gigglefit*.

But the accidental funny is buried beneath the poor coverage and a painful ineptitude when it comes to estimating times. I tune in to sportscommentary!Dad instead:

Commentators: OMG Swimmy McSplashperson will break the world record!!!1!one!
My Dad: *looks at splits* No, she won't.
Commentators: The world record! So going to be broken!
My Dad: Nuh-uh! She's not coming home strong enough.
World Record: *fails to be broken*
Commentators: *gasp* *flail* Tragedy!!!
My Dad: She smashed the Games record, though.
*five minutes later*
Commentators: *mumblemumblesomethingaboutGamesRecordmumble* More sport coming up...after we preen and burble to each other for ten minutes.

(ooh, I've turned into a sports snob!)

Every time I try to watch a moment of the Commonwealth Games, I just go right back to trying to figure out the duck. Why a duck? WHYYYY?!

But, yes. The commentary sucks.

Also, the entire rest of the commonwealth should maybe start competing as The Entire Rest Of The Commonwealth. I think it'd be coming second, at the moment.

Every time I try to watch a moment of the Commonwealth Games, I just go right back to trying to figure out the duck. Why a duck? WHYYYY?!

Everyone thinks they're such sweet little things
Ducks, ducks! *quack-quack, quack-quack*
Soft downy feathers and nice little wings
Ducks, ducks! *quack-quack, quack-quack*
But there's a poison I'd like to administer
You think they're cuddly but I think they're sinister!
Ducks, ducks! *quack-quack, quack-quack*
Ducks, ducks! *quack-quack, quack-quack*

...I need an icon.
*wanders off to find duck pictures*
