[QUOTE=TAU!;45987887]I really want to know how this happens. How does perfectly chewed up food, or even a beverage, go down the wrong pipe and force you to choke up and yak?[/QUOTE]
I think it happens when you inhale a little too much air while drinking and you end up swallowing a bubble of air and juice at the same time, resulting in the much dreaded drinking fuck up.
[QUOTE=Big Ben;45987370]what does MRSA have to do with soda[/QUOTE]
Artificial sugars can aggravate MRSA bacteria and lead to an increase in sores around the affected areas.

It can also happen if you burp simultaneously as you swallow somehow, or take in a morsel that's too big to fit.
I started writing a story a while back about a ship that goes around the galaxy cataloging alien life (it picks up samples of the flora and fauna and builds large enclosed biodomes that simulate the world) and the premise was that the crew, other than the crew charged with maintenance, goes into cryo sleep when travelling between worlds, and on one such occasion something goes wrong and a bunch of the enclosures are breached letting all the creatures out and shit and nobody is able to get the main crew awake. Until like some ludicrous amount of time later.
Basically the main crew was in cryo so long that the surviving maintenance crew devolved so much from generations of fighting the creatures that they're tribal now and at war with each other, and the creatures. A young guy from one of the tribes was going to find his way to the crew chambers and accidentally release the surviving crew, and then blah blah blah confusion and infighting, and eventually they decide they have to go back with the tribal dude to the maintenance wing of the ship, and then fight their way to the engines and see what can be done. Once at the engines they'd realize it is beyond fixing and then they'd decide to make their way back to the bridge and figure shit out, when they find and decide to take a skiff to a nearby planet and it would end with them going back into cryo on the skiff. (leaving it open for a second idea I had, about the same crew stranded on the planet, activating a distress beacon kind of thing, and waiting for rescue)
but I gave up on the whole thing because I realized that the first is basically Pandorum if you forget the cataloging part, and the second would basically play out like Predators

Aw, but it sounded like such a cool story though.

It's a good movie and musical, similar to the lion king! My only complaint is that it can get predictable at times, but Olaf usually does a good job of fixing that

Pretty true, from my experience. Wish I focused a little more on my studies back in school.

It's ok. Nothing to write home about, but it's ok.
im a 90s kid who doesnt remember the 90s tbh
I'm an an impasse in my Dark Heresy campaign. Currently, the party has cleared out a small operation in the Underhive of Hive Tarsus, located on the capital planet, Scintilla, of the Calixis Sector. Said operation consisted of manufacturing a dangerous drug known as Spook, which gives users psychic powers. Powers of this sort, when handled incorrectly, can rip open holes in reality through which daemons can travel, so the drug ring had to be shut down before anything worse than a few odd things happened. A nobleman, named Belagor Thrungg was behind the operation, and belonged to an old lineage with only one member remaining in the entire bloodline. He is the key point to where my story branches, but I'm not sure which direction to take.
I have three campaigns I could possibly do, one using Thrungg as a lead in to his story of the Apostacy Gambit, which has the most important religious figure in the sector having his corpse possessed by a daemon, leading to a massive religious civil war.
Another story would lead to Thrungg having ties to a cult known as the Masquerade, which combines things like The Night Circus and The King In Yellow together in a secret cult that reveals the mysteries of the universe to possible members, and is attempting to have one grand revelation which would cause the viewers to go insane/mutate horrifically/etc.
Finally, Thrungg could be the lead to a mystery known as the Murder Room, where people enter a doorway, and are locked inside a pocket dimension where something unspeakable takes control of the person and turns them into an almost untouchable serial killer. Thrungg's mansion would be full of brutally murdered servants, and he would be gallivanting around killing indiscriminately, and the party would have to catch him and stop the Murder Room from claiming others.
new fone on the way. yee

There's nothing wrong with writing a story that's somewhat derivative of other works. Combining elements from other stories is a useful writing tool. If you keep writing, you may well find yourself creating something entirely different and new than you originally thought. Writing is a process. Often writers start with an unoriginal story, but wind up telling it in a unique style, or in an interesting world, or with engaging characters. Through practice and due diligence, you can make a story that is more than the sum of its parts.
Hell, I just finished reading a book that was essentially Canterbury Tales in space. But the world it was set in was original and interesting, making it more than just an imitation.
Why do I like this song so much?

This has been my shit lately. The first half only tho, the second half sucks
I feel like the people in my classes are thinking I'm a narcissistic, evil asshole.
In my English class our professor said "I'll need a volunteer for their name to be forever besmirched in the name of remembering the active and passive forms of sentences, otherwise I'll pick someone."
So I volunteer, and the sentence was.
"Matt kills Kittens.
The Kittens were killed by Matt."
In English as well we did an Academic Integrity workshop, and we were split into groups. Basically everyone in my group said "We'll just go by the name of Matt's Team". We did the same workshop in my Intro to College class today, and guess what my group for that said "We can just go by "Matt's Team".
And today in my Drama class we had to come up with a melodramatic scene and act it out. I was the Villain for my group. This pretty cute chick said that I'm creative (even though we've never talked before) so I should come up with the idea. I also volunteered to be the villain for our little scene.
I was an Eco-Terrorist burning down the Brazilian Rainforest and was then killed by Captain Planet.
Basically I'm a Narcissistic, Creative, Evil, leader.
I don't know how to feel about this. :v:

Ethics was always fun for me because I loved playing the villain in discussions.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the other day that I was Macbeth in my Drama class as well. And my Junior year when we did Macbeth in my English class.
It is fun though, I just guess people see my as a natural born leader. Otherwise, why name the group after me? :v:
