Late Juice; Don't Quaff

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Behold the vastly improved timing of this final week in August! Quizzes on Tuesday and Reminders on Thursday³! None of this "one day late" jibba-jabba. We are a well-oiled machine¹!

Go play the quiz now, if you haven't done so! It beckons you, here as we head blindly towards a new season, a new semester, a new schoolyear, or a new September! Grab the bull by its horns! Carpe taurem²!

In fact, so traditional are we this week, that I shall eat something cute and fuzzy once more!


Go play! Take quiz! Hurry!

¹Quiz mods are not literally well-oiled. That would be quite nasty.
²This is obviously made-up Latin. Latin scholars, please refrain from reminding me of taurus's declensional structure kthxbaiusmaximus.
³And in other news, I have discovered that today is actually Wednesday. But fuck it, you're all reminded anyway. And I'm eating the damn panda too.

I do hope you toasted that properly. Undercooked raccoon (?) is the number one cause of impotence.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Check that alt-text! This be no raccoon, lad!

[fireworkfiasco.livejournal.com]

Oy, my apologies. My breasts are ridiculously ashamed.

[Basically my point is: I be no lad but lady fair and wan.]

[lovellama.livejournal.com]

you should always check chaosvizier's alt-text. funny stuff!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Apologies accepted and extended; it's hard to determine gender on the internet sometimes. Carry on.

[yak-boy.livejournal.com]

It's a Himalayan raccoon!

[mrbankies.livejournal.com]

You do realize that you're a day early with your reminder, as it's Wednesday, not Thursday. Or I've got a serious problem...

Also, hooray for Red Pandas. They have some at the zoo in my city, and they're the cutest damn things.

[lovellama.livejournal.com]

we're making up for being late last week?

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Eh, it felt like Thursday. This saves me from having to remember tomorrow.

[shrieking-ell.livejournal.com]

OH GOD!

IT'S NOT THURSDAY!

[hugh-mannity.livejournal.com]

Nope. It's Wednesday. All day.

[shrieking-ell.livejournal.com]

But how can we be sure? The seeds of doubt have been planted.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

You will never know for certain. Besides, even as we speak, it is already Thursday in some distant land. Or not-so-distant, if you live over there.

Given the confusion with the date, I fear what will happen on Monday, when you're supposed to post the answers, but will instead be in an alcohol-induced coma because Labor Day gives you permission to get drunk on Sunday.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeeeee! Wednesday is Thursday at Carvel! And here too!

[deza.livejournal.com]

Mmm, panda. Since he's a red, I'd recommend a merlot.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Logical, Mr. Spock, perfectly logical.

I think it is sad that I didn't catch the Wednesday/Thursday thing, but instead nodded sagely and said "Yes, it is Thursday" in my head.

Damn it, only two days into classes and my brain is already cooked!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

It's good to know that some folks just accept our infinite wisdom as exactly that, rather than the infinitesimal wisdom that it occasionally is.

When I first saw this post I freaked out and was sure I'd somehow lost an entire day in my Bioshock-playing haze. I was about to call work and tell make up some lame excuse as to why I wasn't there....

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

That's ok. You get a +1 just because you're playing Bioshock. Which is what I'd really like to be doing right now, instead of sitting at work typing reminders a day early.

[halo4.livejournal.com]

I should probably get a -100 since that's ALL I've done for the last few days. No laundry, no dishes, no nothing. And the girlfriend is kinda pissed...but she knew I was a video game dork from the start

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

And so the cosmic balance is righted yet again...a Wednesday post to offset the Friday post of last week. Works for me.

"Don't eat that! Don't you know that eating that can give you enormous breasts? Oh, my God, I'm too late!"

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Basically, we average out to dead even. I think that's fair enough.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

Yup, in the great scheme, we come in with a score of zero, and so do we exit. Nothing to take into the world, nothing taken out.

Except my comic book collection. Damned if I'm leaving that here.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

I hope this won't lead to a pun pandaemic.

[i-calql8.livejournal.com]

We never panda to the lowest common denominator.

[drbear.livejournal.com]

I don't wanna be bambooed.

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Just bear with us a bit longer.

Wednesday is 'The New Thursday"

As usual, our LJDQ mods are ahead of the trends!

[billfl.livejournal.com]

I like that the footnotes are in non-numerical order. It boldly states, "We here at LJDQ aren't going to play the old rules, man! We can have three before one! We can have Thursday on Wednesday! We can have Worcestershire Sauce on our Panda!"

There. It's stating it now. Boldly!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Order is for wussies! If I were one of those wussies, I'd be called ordervizier. We thrive on chaos! BRING IT ON!

Mmmmm... worcestershire panda...

Help?!

[themommage.livejournal.com]

Okay, so it is 10:23 AM and I just got in from work (due to a late meeting) and am now quite confused. Is it Thursday, or still Wednesday? Do I get the night off cuz it's Thursday, or do I have to go through ONE MORE MESSED UP MESS and straighten it out so day shift will look good? I know I have Friday off this week..... I think....

Re: Help?!

[chaosvizier.livejournal.com]

Today is no longer yesterday, which was not Thursday, though it was implied that Thursday and yesterday were the same day, when in fact the day that is Thursday would be the day that was to follow yesterday, it being today, which is not Wednesday, as that is before Thursday.

Re: Help?!

[themommage.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Now I've got it. I'm off tonight AND tomorrow night. (By only about 10° or so.)

Bwahahahaha!

Behold the circle of life! Panda eats bamboo. Then Gaiman eats panda. Dead Gaiman goes into ground and feeds bamboo. Voila!
