Does SRD talk the way he writes?

Post by Farm Ur-Ted »

When he's ordering wings at Hooters, do you think that SRD ever drops a percipience-bomb on the waitress?

"How would you like your wings, sir: Medium, Hot, 3-Mile Island or 911?"

"HellFire!"
Cowboy: Why you doin' this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.

"O Wingthane, your scant cerements and titular presence has spawned in me a vile and puissant hunger. Can I get some wings and a pitcher of Bud?"

SRD as a teacher: "It grieves me to speak unto you in this way: the daughter of your heart and loins lacks the necessary percipience to enable her Lordship. I, Staff Elder Donaldson, say to thee that if she is to make a place for herself here, she must give grave and lengthy study to the foundations of Lore, known to those of your world as Wreading, Writing, and Writhmetic."

-------

SRD as a parent: "Ms. Johnson, kindly demonstrate the tests of Lore for which my child has been studying diligently and incessantly for lo these past 6 moons.

<pause>

You have done this to my son!?!!?!"

"Hello. My inanition is making me febrile but I you are my cynosure and I will make my asseveration clearly to you. Forgive my caducity but what is the guerdon in this weeks Happy Meal"?

"Excuse me? You mean....the toy? It's a Transformer car."

"Hellfire! I feared that the Neopets would be long preterite but I had to hope anyway that my orisons would be answered. Very well then, instead I'll have a 1/4 pounder with cheese, a medium fry and a.......what type of gelid shakes do you have this month?"

"Shakes? We have chocolate, vanilla and coffee."

"Oh, not the coffee. The last time I had that I malisoned all the way home trying in vain to get that sabulous scoria taste out of my mouth. I will try the vanilla shake. It's not some travertine chrism that I will regret having is it?"

"Um.....that will be $5.79. First window please."

Gold!
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Thank you!
It was fun.
(I'm sure I butchered the proper way those words should have been used but I tried to stay true to the meaning of each.)

This topic has so much potential.
If he really did speak as he writes I could see SRD in so many hysterical Monty Python-type situations.

Like at the Emergency Room explaining his infectious type of injury....
Giving directions that involves using descriptive colors....
Sports commentator at a boxing match or the Olympics.....
