Could someone please explain why I suddenly can't order a gross of grasshoppers? Something about "Needing Faculty permission".

What happened while I was on a field study?

I'll sign off on it.

[thus utterly defeating the point]

[aduration]

I thank you, but why was such a requirement added?

[eudaimonikos]

Someone bought a lot of crickets and released them in one of the dorms.

[obviously Michael has no idea who this was and no relationship with that person!]

[aduration]

Okay, that is hilarious, but what were they thinking?

[eudaimonikos]

Not sure.
If I had to guess, probably nothing.

what the fuck do you need grosshoppers for

[aduration]

For Alchemy. Given the increase outings to the Outlands, it seem like a good idea to synthesis helpful items.

I believe the traits of the grasshoppers will lend itself well to a tool that'll allow the user to quickly travel to their 'point of origin' in the Outland.

cheetah toenail clippings would be cooler

[aduration]

Much more difficult to get, and not enough in quantity to experiment with and hand out unfortunately.

the feathers of a Peregrine Falcon would also be a better candidate if I'm looking for pure speed.

[deuteranope]

okay but you're missing the fucking point

cheetah toenail clippings would be cooler

[aduration]

It would be, yes, but I'll save the cool factor for the results of my synthesis.

[deuteranope]

you really out here expecting cool results from dumbass crickets ok

I meant grasshoppers

[aduration]

Well if you look at Sulfur, Charcoal, and Saltpeter, they're unexciting piles of crystals or powder - but combining them together is what makes Gunpowder. The product is more than the sum of it's parts.

[deuteranope]

and still shitty so what's your point

[aduration]

Wait and see.

[deuteranope]

excuse me if I'm not eagerly awaiting your grosshopper gunpowder surprise

a gross of grasshoppers?????

yes grasshoppers are gross so don't order them

Re: un: astrophenominal

[aduration]

Hahaha... so you're not a fan of bugs? I'll have to keep that in mind (-_^)

But no, a gross in this case is a unit of measurement, containing 144 things.

[tsuns]

why not just say 144 then measurements are so dumb and werid

and no don't keep that in mind, remove that lie from your mind!!!!!!!!!!! vacuum it out!!!!!!!!

[aduration]

PFthehehe... I got a perfect memory, so you're out of luck.

[tsuns]

so cruel!!!!!!!!!!

i bet your 144 gross grasshoppers swarm you and lay eggs in your hair
