This might be a sign that we shouldn't socialise with normal people

[andrewducker]

Julie and I have taken to using Brick's speech pattern from "The Middle" as a way of making meta-comments on whatever we happen to be saying. Occasionally seguing into Gollum's speech patterns on top of that. Or possibly a certain walrus who is terribly fond of his bucket.

Which means that conversation go a little like this:
Andy: I'll be about ten more minutes, and then I'm free to do something if you like.
Julie: Noo! Don't you be taking my Sims! whispers: Bad Person

Or this, five minutes ago:
Julie (in Gollum voice): "It puts The Ring in The Volcano, or it gets the hose again."

I think I like Brick.

[andrewducker]

Brick is awesome. And it's nice to see someone who's (mostly) happy being self-contained.

but Brick always repeats the last relevant word as emphasis

[andrewducker]

Indeed he does.

But sticking too closely to things is far too boring for regular conversation. We started off with that aaages ago, and then veered sharply off pretty darn quickly :->

Well wee K pull it off and has been doing it since the 1st episode of season 1. Rules are meant to be followed or the next thing you know vampires are all glittery and standing in sunlight.

[andrewducker]

Rules, in my opinion, can fuck right off.

[stevegreen.livejournal.com]

Is that a rule?

[andrewducker]

It feels somewhat like I'm being told that I'm not having fun properly.

No, I am not 100% emulating the speech patterns of the fictional child, but then that wasn't the point. I was using his speech patterns as the starting point, so that people would understand the "whispering after the end of the actual sentence" that he does, and people would get an idea of therefore what was going on.

No, I was merely pulling your leg.

[andrewducker]

I'm probably being over-sensitive because of princealbert persisting after me telling him what I was doing. Sorry if I'm being tetchy. I should probably go to bed...

i was merely pulling your mum.

(Unless, of course, actually agreed to. No problem with people agreeing rules for playing games, etc. Makes life tricky otherwise.)

[stevegreen.livejournal.com]

Exactly. It's not a subtext.

[andrewducker]

And?

[stevegreen.livejournal.com]

Brick will disaprove.

I have been kicked out of bed for using Gollum voice.

it was, on reflection, totally justified

[andrewducker]

Could have been worse. I know someone that got in trouble for "I drink your milkshake."

when alan is tired he starts talking like jar jar binks
i usually send him to bed at that point

[andrewducker]

Meesa no tired!
