TET: We Are Violet Below The Mud

[The Grim Reaper]

It's better this way. It means the spam brigade is gone and we're not gonna get a race of young ones trying to score the last post. Something that I've always found irksome.

Mhm, it's a nice balance. Quiet, but not difficult to get a conversation going if you put the effort in.

An optimal way to wait for my chicken to complete its baking biznis. Pity I fucked up the egg wash - God knows how.

I swear I'm a decent cook. I'm just bad at the easy bits.

You need to get your groove on there then. And when all else fails, apply cooking sorcery.

For egg washes, I recommend a bit of milk in it. Tends to give it a good consistency.

An idea I will most certainly try next goaround. For now, I shall reflect on the litany of errors I have realised I made. Like leaving my tongs on a hot frying pan, putting cooking spray on wax paper on cooking spray on the tray, and flipping my meat after rather than before throwing some cheese on.

A most curious reminder that I don't practise nearly as much as I should.

You can get pancreas-laced moisturiser?

Stem cell fueled face creams are great. There are traces of lab-grown human foreskin in mine. \o/

So that's where it went.

Oh Grimy, those are mistakes I believe everyone who dabbles in cooking has made once or twice or more. I know I've done the meat one. Or baking pizza and then realize I forgot to add the sauce? Yeah, done that.

"Lab-grown", eh?

[Gallade]

The peace of mind that I won't start freaking out about my age at 40 and start cutting pretty little faces?

I've seen pictures of your mother. You won't be freaking out.

That's what I'm aiming for. She's more gold dust and orchid extract than woman at this point, but God knows I'm not shelling out a grand for two ounces of face putty.

Mhm, it's a nice balance. Quiet, but not difficult to get a conversation going if you put the effort in.

Quite so. Although, truth be told, it was a bit odd at first, that this iteration has lasted so long but it's quite nice. It feels less... ''noisy'', dare I say?

I agree entirely. I suppose it's what happens when the teens remove themselves for study, the boisterous vitality gets shifted. :p

Heh - it's more a stern reminder that I need to be less absent minded and a bit more intentional until end of semester exams are over.

And it feels nice. We just need a mojito or two or three and the mellowness is great.

As long as your absentmindedness doesn't include setting your kitchen on fire, you're doing great. Or try to do easier things, if you're too caught up in your studies.

[Ethel mermania]

It's quite nice, really. Look at us, all relaxed and such.

I could get used to it. Lately I've been missing a few people normally known for their presence in TET, but we're managing quite nicely. It's all remarkably civilized.

There are people I miss, there are people I am happy not to have to read their drivel. Its Win-lose

[Ethel mermania]

So that's where it went.

"Lab-grown", eh?

Gotta start somewhere.

So you don't want to become Joan Collins?

The whole forum seems to be a bit less densely populated than used to be the case. This may be for more reasons than the current absence of holidays and school vacations.

Like what? Because we need to trademark it and replicate it as often as possible.

Let's aim for Meryl Streep for now and go from there.

Well, maybe this place just isn't so hip and happening anymore. There is no reason to assume that NationStates is impervious to the ravages of time.

[Toronina]

I know when I get up in the morning there will be a new TET

I prefer Helen Mirren. Aging with grace.

I think it a bit early after the Summer rush to draw those kind of conclusions. If there's ever a slow summer, we'll know we're on the way out.

Only the techs would know, but the whole site feels slower to me, thazn it did same time last year.

There have been far fewer interesting topics. The autumn is usually littered with them.

I don't think NS is impervious to the ravages of time. No site is, when you come to think of it. But it's interesting and refreshing that we're seeing this lull. Perhaps TET is also on the way out.

Tbf, so is meryl, they are both excellent actors.

I thought it then, and I think it now - "Eternal" is a bit optimistic/pessimistic

Wait, what's going on?
