Recreation Commons – Fourteenth Floor: Unity Wreckage

[Drogue]

Any particular reason?

/me clinks glasses with the happyites ad smiles

[Drogue]

Having just noticed that we're over 450 posts, what's the plan for the next one? Any ideas? We've landed properly now and the factions seem to be asserting themselves on Planet, maybe an Empath Guild meeting place, so they can talk to each other in the bar? Also, since it's built by aliens already, it would make sense

Recreation Commons – Fifteenth Floor: Unity Wreckage - Engine Room

I like the second!!

Or else: The Feeding Bay
Since we're pretty much 'overwhelmed' by the Hive at this moment, we may as well pay hommage to their 'skill'.

[Drogue]

Not sure about the Engine Room suggestions, since we're not in the pod anymore. I like the feeding bay idea though

Yes, I was due to Matriculate in the Sheldonian Theatre on 16th October, but not they have to find a new venue It's tradition since the 18th century that all students matriculate there, and this will be the first year to break that tradition.

So, you will have to miss the sermon wine...
I bet that is the most important reason for your disappointment

[Drogue]

Sermon wine? Going to the oldest college, I matriculate first, meaning I'm in the Turf by opening time

For non-Oxford people, the Turf is the Turf Tavern, a pub hidden down a side street, and very well known in Ox.

[GeoModder]

If you're from Ox of course.

And the 'matri' part sounds... suggestive... I must say.

[Drogue]

But it isn't. Althought the ceremony is in Latin

[Kassiopeia]

Heh, Drogue matriculates when beginning in university, I matriculate the next spring after passing a series of secondary school exams.

Edit: Oh and what do you know, after being 800 behind three months ago, I now have more posts than Method.

[GeoModder]

So it's easier to mitrochrondronise in Suomi?

[Drogue]

Evidently. Matriculation in the UK is starting university. Graduation is ending it.

I think I might break Kass's one floor post record too (did you get 137 in one, or am I mistaken. Will look when I get home, I have the log of them all )

[Kassiopeia]

137?! I don't quite recall. But considering how it was back in the day, more than likely.

Evidently. Matriculation in the UK is starting university. Graduation is ending it.

Here the matriculation exam gives you the ability and capability to attend a university, so it is the same thing deep down.

I rummaged around the Rec Commons threads and found this in the first thread ever:

Btw, remember the 500-post limit. My suggestion is that after this thread makes it to 500, we leave it be and start a new one, accordingly named 'The Recreation Commons II". Any humour re: the name could be appreciated too, however.

I came up with the multipart concept and the funny names! And I didn't even know it!
