III. I REQUIRE ASSISTANCE

Sep 08, 2007 15:45

I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL STRANGE THINGS SINCE I HAVE ARRIVED HERE, AND I WAS HOPING SOMEONE MIGHT BE ABLE TO ASSIST ME IN THEIR MEANINGS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IS A CHILL PILL AND IN WHAT SITUATION SHOULD ONE TAKE ONE? AND I ASSUME LIVESTOCK ARE VALUABLE HERE - WHY WOULD ONE NOT WANT TO HAVE A COW? AND I AM NOT SURE WHAT A GASKET IS, BUT I BELIEVE BLOWING ( Read more... )

Those are all figures of speech, silly. "Take a chill pill" means relax, "have a cow" means throwing a fit, and "blowing a gasket" is getting so stressed out you go crazy!

...I SEE.

WHY WOULD ANYONE SAY SOMETHING IN WORDS THAT DO NOT MEAN WHAT IS SAID? IT MAKES NO SENSE.

I SUPPOSE I SHOULD NOT "HAVE A COW" ABOUT IT.

It adds color to a conversation! It wouldn't be much fun to talk if everybody was Captain Literal all the time.

BUT CONVERSATIONS CANNOT BE SEEN. WHY WOULD THEY NEED COLOR?

AND I AM NOT CAPTAIN LITERAL, I AM DEATH. AND IS NOT CAPTAIN LITERAL HIMSELF ALL THE TIME? AFTER ALL, HE CANNOT BE SOMEBODY ELSE.

My daddy gives me medicine when I'm sick! Maybe that's what a chill pill is?

Re: [voice post] humaniste September 8 2007, 22:18:41 UTC

IT IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE, THOUGH I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS THE INTENDED MEANING OF THE PHRASE.

I HAVE YET TO MEET YOU, I BELIEVE.

What's it mean?

My name's Nina! I just got here, and I'm waiting for Big Brother and Small Big Brother to come get me! What's your name?

Re: [voice post] humaniste September 8 2007, 22:30:14 UTC

I AM TOLD WHEN SOMEONE IS TO TAKE A CHILL PILL, IT MEANS THEY ARE TO CALM THEMSELVES. I FAIL TO SEE THE CONNECTION.

HELLO, NINA, I AM DEATH. WHO ARE BIG BROTHER AND SMALL BROTHER? PERHAPS I CAN HELP YOU FIND THEM.
