Hogwarts Express Meet-Up: 2013

It's never too early to start planning, is it? Hopefully, this won't detract from the other planned meetup thread. I just thought that we should have somewhere to post ideas about the meetup that MsG suggested for 2013.

For a start, transportation. I think we should all plan to get there using these:

Lol, I am afraid of heights!

MrsG, if you get into NYU you will only be a short train ride from me!

That would be good MsB!!! But I still have to get through High Shcool and actually get into NYU. But I am planning to aply to a couple colleges in NYC. And I am going to be very busy with extra stuff for my application during High School so I am hoping.

#1: If I get one of these:



I can actually pick some of the HEers on the way there...

Because right now I only have one of these....



And calculating the balloon=weight of the people sitting on the car is really difficult math :P

#4: ROFLMAO! You better get on that Ron!

We might all be able to fit into this:

>#4: LOL!

And of course, we'll all be wearing these:

Do they come in pink?

#8 MrA, do we have to stand like that while wearing the green suits?

And if we wear the green suits, are we allowed to also wear shoes? Because I for one am not going to run around barefoot like those people.

#8 I like the green. Not so sure about the last suit though... ;)

I can't wait till 2013!!! LOL

#8 -- I am only wearing one of those green suits if the figure comes with it! Currently, I would look more like that last picture.

Perhaps we should start considering what accommodation to book:











Yes, that last one is in New York City. That's what it will look like in 2013. Cool huh?

I want the one in the middle of the bog!

Me too lefty! Although the last one is pretty cool too!

I like the last one. might be a little small though.

It's my dream to live in a tree so I vote for the last one, though I'm wondering if we will all still be around in 2013. ;)

I have no plans to be doing anything in particular in 2013 so yeah, I'll probably be around. 8) *knock on wood*

yea... maybe we will have jet packs and cool stuff like that! just kidding :)

RE #15:
Photo #4 looks nice...but all that water. Hmm. It does look nicer than photo #3. Since I probably need not worry, photo #4 it is! ;)

LOL

I like #3 and want to move in now. Looks like it has awesome views and whoever is keeping that lawn manicured can just carry on, please.

And just think, if it snows there, you can be like the ninja and be invisible to all!

Yes, I definitely have the right complexion for that!

LOL I'm so pale, I'm reflective. I would be like a mirror flashing in the sun. hahaha

I hate to break it to you alls but civilization is coming to an end in 2012.

I"m going to go live in the ocean

Low tide:


High tide:



and for when I want to go on v-kay!!

Hehe, who says it's coming to an end in 2012? I say it's coming to an end on 12/30/11 at precisely 11:59:59 and 100 milliseconds (or is it 59?)

1000 milliseconds.

or 1000000000000 picoseconds (that's 10 to the power of 12, sorry can't seem to post in superscript).

Pic I think the Incas and Mayas were going by their sundials. So maybe at sundown on the er.... well we can all read it below, right? It would be showing off to tell you. Its for your own good too that I wont say.

*stares blankly at calendar, with drool coming out of her mouth*

Huh?...

Oh! At sundown on the day of the pointy-hatted-people, right? Or maybe it's the day of the smiling mouths..

I must say, you gotta love a thread that goes from jetpacks to Incan or Mayan (?) sundials in 31 posts. I heart you guys!

I think they just ran out of room on their stone.

So anyway, dudes are we Harry Potter geeks or not? We should travel by these.

were all joking about the world will end soon... right??

*People, i get scared at stupid stuff...lol...and i cant tell if your joking or not :)*

Dear Puppetmaster,

We were joking. Take a deep breath. Nobody knows if/when the world will end, although it's a safe bet that the sun will eventually burn out, in millions and millions of years. Until then, all you have to worry about is a nuclear war, pollution, global warming, etc., all of which we may possibly be just smart enough to avoid doing to the extent that it will kill us all.

Ooops. Meant this to be more reassuring. Relax!! We have time to enjoy HE and HP and things related for a while yet.

*gets halfway through post #37 and has heart attack*

lol thanks! That made me feel a little better... im not sad about this thing... it was something somebody said on We *heart symbol* Twilight. :((((

*waves frantically* Does anyone know CPR?

I know it requires mouth to mouth resuscitation. Maybe Donna could do that. I'll be happy to hit him on the chest...

*Takes electric paddles and puts them on MrA's chest*

"CLEAR" gives an electric charge to MrA

I know CPR... but with MrA gone there is one less Twilight lover in the world. I'm so conflicted!

He's not gone! Charge those paddles again, dangit.

#41 Mouth to mouth is likely to bring on my asthma, I'm not doing it p~

ETA: and my CPR certificate has expired as well.

33- Personally, I think that it will be on The Day of the Possessed Llama-Thing.

I would offer to give CPR to MrA, but as I don't know anything about giving CPR, I would probably kill him. Better charge up those paddles!

"CLEAR" (Is the shouting permitted in this kind of situation too? I mean besides the falling piano one...)

*Shelves plan to create llama cataloging site: LlamaThing* Sounds about right to me, Cat.

I really think that the end of the world is going to happen when we least expect it, myself. So really there's no reason to worry about it.

ETA: Only if the situation merits the yell.

47- Sure! All the doctors do it.

48- Exactly! Good thing, too. I love surprises.

wow! no one cares about the newbie!

just kidding people. I still hurt a a little bit though.

Don't be sad, Puppet, we had a medical emergency here!

I'm figuring MrA must be better if MsD was in chat, though, right??

There are no shuttle launches scheduled for December 2010 :(

It's the end of the world as we know it.

hmm...I feel fine.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake . . .

Or maybe "eye of a hurricane"--that could happen in Florida.

Or, it starts with an asteroid passing between the moon and the earth.

http://nehttp://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090304/ap_on_re_us/asteroid_close_call

Yeah, that was a fun thing to find out about after the fact, wasn't it. Glad to know we're not going to bother trying to "Armageddon" or "Deep Impact" our way out of that particular disaster!

Ok, people, let the professional handle this.

*snaps latex gloves on, and CPR mouth seal*



whoopsie, was his head supposed to come off like that? I don't remember this from my training....

Suge, im not sure your fit to be a docter... maybe a cyropracter! *sorry for my spelling*

*shudders* Creepy pciture. MrA? Is that you?

(TOTTALLY just kidding.)

It's alright Suge. We all make mistakes, your half of the insurance is in the mail.

So now that I've got all this room in my bed I can get a Panda dog.

...braaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiins...

you b ....d - you broke my wall.

now it's a wall of andrew :)

If only you could keep up.

I have better things to do with my time *folds arms pompously*

Sure you do. Like cleaning.

Like cleaning, and yet not cleaning.

Are you suggesting that I am simply an extension of yourself? I think not.

Its time to play my game show: "happily Ever Nafter" I've played it with all my couple friends. They have all reported a 3,000.5% increase in their love of each other.

But will it increase my level of comfortness? if so, i very much would like to purchase that game.

Comfortness? Loads!

The game is played, not purchased. The best things in life are free. See you are already a better person and you haven't even started the game.

See you are already a better person

Yes, but you have started from a low base, so I don't think you can take too much credit.

BTW, has anybody noticed an increase in thread randomness / off-topicness recently? Perhaps it will get better when i reach 424 posts this month.

By better do you mean more random and off-topic?
And how is that possible?

I refuse to apologize for my randomness on this thread. I barely touched this thread.

How did that happen?

Hmmm, well, considering MrA started this thread..... ;P

did not.

Oh, I see, it must have been MsD on your account, right? Or perhaps it was *dramatic music* Mysterion?

you're a towel.

Are you . . . Towlie?

of course not.

and before you ask, i'm not an underpants gnome, either.

Now this thread has become the mutant offspring of "who am I".

Mysterion?!? Where?! Where?! *Whips head back and forth*

....now it's an episode of Las Lágrimas de Phoenix.

Does Mysterion really exist? I'm for real. I thought he was a real person. But its Mr. A with an extra account to smurf with us?

81 > have you ever seen them in the same room together?

#81 -- Yes Mysterion is a real person. He just happens to be the same real person as MrA.

I was going to say like Batman and Bruce Wayne, but it's more like Fenton Crackshell and GizmoDuck...

8)

>#84: :P~

I was thinking along the lines of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

>#81: It wasn't just to smurf with you, i swear on my smurfin' life. That was just an unexpected benefit. I had to use another account because i wanted to keep my post count under 424 for February.

I had to get rid of him though. MsD was making googly eyes at him and inviting him to come over when i was away.

So go get your apron and make her breakfast.

I'm kinda creeped out by that picture . . .

Breakfast...is staring...at me!!! AHH!!!!

Bwahahaha! I suppose it is a little creepy. ;)

In 2013, all breakfasts will be alive.

Eat me! Eeeeeeeat meeeee!

And that is why even vegetarianism is not quite safe. ;)

I just want to know who took the time to put two eyes on every cheerio.

My thoughts as well! Or perhaps more that those eyes, if merely placed on top of the cheerios and not glued, would so easily fall to the bottom of the bowl. Wouldn't that be a surprise? ;)

They just genetically-engineered one cheerio to have eyes, then cloned it. Simple.

The fact that they would fall so easily is why I thought they are probably glued.

Or maybe we're giving someone too much credit and it was all done with computers.

ETA: Or that, MrA. Certainly plausible.

Just think of all those toddlers sitting in their high chairs and walkers with cheerios on their trays, their parents never knowing they are feeding their small children cloned cheerios.

I knew that GMO's (genetically modified organisms) would eventually bite us in the backside, but I didn't think they would be able to do it in a literal sense.

Guess I'll have to go back to expensive organic food.

The funny thing is, the eyes were a fluke. They were really trying to genetically engineer cheerios with mouths. So that they could say "cheerio!" as you ate them. It was a ingenious plan by a highly-paid and massively-talented advertising guru.

Instead, they will be marketing the new cereal as "stare-ios". Which will be much less successfully, due to the unfortunate hyphen. Hyphenated cereals never do well in the 3-12yo market.

The world of 2013 is a wondrous place.

#97 JP:
Be sure you get organic salt, too! (Or is that sugar and not a salt shaker??)

#98 MrA:
ROFL!

Hmm. 3-12yo.....2013.....Hidden message?

KIK!!! I really got freaked out by the staring cheerios though. I have this fear of tiny black insects, and they kinda remind me of that...espcially like the ones in GoF. :S

I use sea salt and Kosher salt. Is that bad?

I'm not seeing the hidden message. It must be well hidden. Is it like those magic picture things where you need to let your eyes go out of focus?

Nope. Just rearranged numbers, accepting the letter o as the number 0. :)

*jumps up and down excitedly squealing*

ooo, ooo, ooo, pick me! I see it now!!!!! oooo pick me!!

Your interpretation, pico? :)

3-1=2
12-12=0
2y-y=1
6o-3o=3

There we go. Or it could be this:

2013

Am I right!?!?!

isn't 2y-1=y? And 6o-3o=3o.

MrA can you help my son with algebra?

Happy to. Of course i have failed my math unit at Uni twice now, but i'm not going to let a little thing like that stop me. Do you accept "creative" math? I'm particularly fond of the number "eleventy-seven".

I like the kind of math where you have the answer and then figure out a problem to go with it.

#107 MrA: Yes, but then my equations wouldn't work, so that can't be right. See, it's all connected. Just screw the variables. :)

86- Eek! Make the staring food stop! Eat it!!! Eat it before it takes over!

107- Yes. Or no. Maybe.

#110 -- 42.

#113

I know this! "What is the meaning of life?"

The ultimate question of life . . . the universe . . . everything!

#112 cat:
You eat it! I won't eat food with eyes. *turns her head around with her nose up*

;)

Silly K. You eat food with mouth.

#86 - that is too creepy.

Does anyone else have a burning desire to put eyes on the cutlery in #86?

#118 Donna:
There you are! I was going to post a rumor of the disappearance of Donna. ;)

#119 MrA:
Yep.

#119: Yeah, the fact that they didn't have eyes bothered me more than the stuff that did. If you're going to do something, at least do it all the way!

KIK. I was thinking the same thing.

Am I the only one who thinks the picture is absolutely adorable? I still hate cheerios (something to do with the smell), but it's cute!

k, you out did yourself. I wont be able to eat again.

Espy thanks for clearing that up.

Mr. thanks for tangling everything up again. I'm just glad that I never asked him how tall he was. hee hee hee hee.


this is the only googly eye I want looking at me

#119: I said that to my husband. He said it wouldn't make sense because there were only eyes on things you can eat. I argued the salt shaker wasn't food, he said the eyes were on the salt, so it still counts as something you eat.

I say we need teeny tiny eyes for each salt crystal.

#124 -- That was my reasoning, but I agree that the salt strikes a false note.

Besides, who puts salt on cheerios or pancakes?

ETA: Oh, I guess it's for the egg -- I forgot it was there.

#123 suge:
Uhuh. Not be able to eat cheerios again. ;) You posted the exact image I was looking for!! How did you do that? I couldn't find him.

#124 jp:
Now that would be scary.

#126 foggi:
That's what made me question if it was salt or sugar. I reasoned that sugar is usually in a tiny dish, or at least it is in my house.

>127 Kerian:

Ack! You made me go back and look at it again. No, no, no. *sobbing* I want all my food to be the regular non-staring-at-me kind.

Googling is one of my talents. I can find just about anything. Its uncanny.

#128 ejj:
KIK! I am sorry!

#129 suge:
:P I couldn't remember anything about the commercial I saw that guy on anyways so my googling skills looking for him would naturally suck. I challenge you to googling a firebolt at percisely 3pm LT time.
