there's a deer on your wall

A slang greeting from New Zealand used to say hi to a friend or loved one you haven't seen in a quite some time.

Barbara! Is that you? There's a deer on your wall.

There was no Demon Lord to defeat so I created AI and took over the world

The name of the anime I would write.

There was no Demon Lord to defeat so I created AI and took over the world! Now streaming on Crunchyroll! This is not a real anime... Yet. But it is a real thing I actually did. AND! There's no dialogue in this one. It's just this. Crazy right? Usually there's dialogue or, like, a skit or something but nope... Just this thing I'm saying..."

There is no deadline

Stop telling them that there is a deadline.

Hym "There is no deadline. If I have to wait for your pretend, imaginary deadline that I am TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW DOESN'T EXIST... I swear... I will do 100% of the thing I said I would do. So... From this point on, I am going to 1% of the things I said I would do for every day that I have to wait. I will decide which of those thing constitute 1% and I will do those things in the absolute."

If you are there then you’re down.

If you’re there then you’re down — the unfortunate situation of being put in a position to have inadvertently chosen a side in a fight against opps leading to events where you will soon have to prove yourself to be deemed worthy of remaining among the living.

To say the least this is a life changing moment.

And a cliché.

A great example of this is being a passenger in a car as a drive resulting in fatalities has been perpetrated.

Another example is giving someone a ride who then spontaneously decides to rob a store or gas station; and, you are on camera as the driver and your partial tag is identified as the get away car.

All of the rules of silence and fidelity apply even though before the act you were just a “square” with fast friends.

In order to gain trust, one must commit escalating acts of criminality which makes one deeply implicated in the activities of the crew. This is how villains are born.

P.S. it was no accident that one is chosen to “accidentally” be in that situation. It was a draft, not an accident.

Any similarities to people living or dead is purely coincidental,

If you are there then you’re down. What happened just happened. Listen up, from here you take no walks. You have to stay on the reservation. You didn’t see nothing; and, you don’t know nothing. Anyway, you are our number one draft choice because we all came up together.

Dick Tree

A guy who made a promise to grind at the first reactor in Final Fantasy VII, and even cheated on his girlfriend, only to fail to live up to his promise. He was also beat at his own promise by a guy named CirclMaster.

CirclMaster: Leveling to 99 in the first reactor is pointless and meaningless. So why do I do it? I do it to express my hatred, and more importantly my disdain, for Dick Tree. I do it to express the camaraderie I feel for those of us who have followed this topic for years
