Just pace yourself. Wouldn't want to have you burn out too quickly here!

Kagura has a point.  To paraphrase a quote by Allen Ginsberg, "I saw the best posters of my generation destroyed by madness..."

Like FL said... madness is the top reason for losing posters around here.

Methinks that I do like this new xeric word that has been newly introduced to my vocabulary.  I think that I may use it in the future to describe my humor. :)

Now when would you use it in casual conversation?

Oh, could you get me a glass of water, please?  I'm so parched I'm almost xeric.

Perhaps you could get it yourself. :D

Questioning my ability to get me water isn't going to hasten the cool refreshment of water to my lips. :)

Really now. Then maybe you'd be better served by requesting a drink from the resident koala/bartender rather than from myself.

Service is generally to be had over in the Lounge.

That is true.

Unfortunately, it looks like I shall have to remain xeric in this conversation. :(

Verily. What does that even mean, though? I'm too lazy to look it up.

What does it mean?  Apparently it's from the Ancient Greek ξηρός (ksērós, “dry”).  It's an adjective and it's comparative is more xeric, while its superlative is most xeric.

Said of an environment or habitat that is extremely dry, lacking humidity and water.
Said of an organism adapted to live in a very dry habitat.

Xeric. Right.

You've got it!  I suppose the word will make a rather peculiar comeback in another 24 posts or so. ;)

Zebras are more interesting.

Alpacas like to spit, so I hear.  I also hear that they're almost as mean as zebras, which is why they too were never domesticated for riding.

Be careful around camels. From what I've heard, they're mean.

Cancer rocks are pretty -- why is it that everything in nature that glows pretty colors turns out to be deadly for a person to wear?

Don't knock it. It's probably the best evolutionary tactic out there.

Everyone knows beautiful and deadly is the best combination, I mean...just look at me...

Finding "everyone" to get that opinion must have been a challenge... most people I know go into hiding at the mere mention of your name, Vix.

Gosh, well..everyone I've tortured into dilirium said it was true...

Hmm, I suppose that would be a reliable source of information... and also explain the reaction to your name.
