It's also the source for some great comedy when a stereotypical American tourist character gets angry because he ordered chips and got fries. Hyuk yuk yuk

ResTheRabbit · Post by **ResTheRabbit** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 3:19 pm

I'm fine with that, but what about fish and chips... they still call those chips but their chips right? or were they fries? I can't remember.

I'm southern but the stereotype is funny to hear. ^_^

European "chips" are American "fries".
You know what're cool? French quotation marks.

Yes, it's chips in American English version

I don't know why I decided for crisps, cause in Poland we also write "chips".

Yeah, old good joke

Well, as it is wrote in the psychological portrait of ISFP, I could be very extrovertic in showing emotions

And this is probably the only way to kicked out from my room parents.

That dosen't sound like a good thing Jopen.

If I order chips, I'll be happy no matter which country is interpreting it. :3

Anyone here? I'm supposed to be write a huge essay on why Victor Frankenstein is a tragic hero and I'm taking a small break from it.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:42 pm

Victor? How exactly was he a hero? He created a being that he then devoted himself to distroying and or running from.

Chaplin · Post by **Chaplin** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:55 pm

He's the hero of the book isn't he?

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 8:58 pm

No, He is not the hero. there is no hero in that book it is based on the principal that Both Victor and his creation were twisted things that eventually distroied each other.

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:03 pm

Well, then he's the protagonist. You don't have to be a hero to be the protagonist.

Chaplin · Post by **Chaplin** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:05 pm

I agree, but try explaining that Victor Frankenstein is not a hero to an English teacher who got her degree via mail.

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:18 pm

That might be a bit difficult Chaplin. Has she read the book to begin with?

Coatl_Ruu · Post by **Coatl_Ruu** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:21 pm

Well, I should hope so!

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:27 pm

As would I, but, given the situation, I though I would ask.

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:33 pm

The fact that I can't play this certain game is killing me.

is that confirmed or just assumed?

which game is that?(I just want an answer, not to start a discussion on a topic best discussed in another thread.)

Vespier Leo · Post by **Vespier Leo** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:40 pm

I can't really play any videogames, not that I particularly want to anyhow.

Did I mention I want this game?

Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:41 pm

I can't either, usually, but I'm on break this week.

and I figured that may have been the game you were speaking of. I missed that post in the other forum.

You sound like me in the Summer of 2008

copper · Post by **copper** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:44 pm

Victor Frankenstein does fit the mold of the greek Tragic Hero. Your teacher is not wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed that book. A very good read. Though I enjoyed the musings of the monster more...

And Coatl, I thought you were foreign because of how you phrased certain things in your fanfic. Sorry about that.

Oh! And as a southerner with a pronounced accent, I must accept your apology, though you never needed to in the first place...

ResTheRabbit · Post by **ResTheRabbit** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:46 pm

OMG!! I forgot the cake Copper!!! And now I'm going to go do that one. ^_^ My DA page just got updated a bit for anyone who cares... their just sketches though...

I've always wanted to read Frankenstein! I may have to pick up a copy soon.

copper · Post by **copper** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:49 pm

You really should. It is a great book.

And I forgot all about that cake!

Thanks again, Box.

so the cake wasn't a lie, you just forgot?

copper · Post by **copper** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:52 pm

It is a virtual cake, so it is technically a lie, if that makes you feel better, Brent.

Tue Apr 19, 2011 9:54 pm

the promised cake was a virtual cake, so as long as the virtual cake is delivered, it was not a lie. I wasn't complaining, merely making a joke.

of course we do, it's the next logical step from bacon.

Who exactly has a potato obcession Dubiousity?

Dubiousity · Post by **Dubiousity** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 10:07 pm

Valve does, and where does bacon come into this? It went: Crowbars -> Cake -> Hats -> Potatos.

Private Elliot · Post by **Private Elliot** » Tue Apr 19, 2011 10:08 pm

I came in late and only got 3 potatoes. But I don't really care.

But now I wish I preordered Portal 2 instead of buying the Potato Sack.

Tue Apr 19, 2011 10:08 pm

I thought you were referring to our Chip/crisp discussion from earlier, and that's where bacon came in.
