Nov. sadness?

[noname]

Just ordered Avadon at your ridiculously low price. Thanks for the deal. But what is the November sadness sale? Why the sadness?

[Actaeon]

Because November is often a bleak and melancholy month. This year was an exception to that rule, though, at least around here.

[noname]

Glad to hear that was all it meant. I thought it could have been a family tradgety or something.

[Actaeon]

It's an annual thing, though it's usually October.

 

 

Spiderweb Software, in a spasm of depression caused by the typically miserable Seattle autumn weather, has decided to cheer itself up by having a sale. The prospect of the next six months of unrelenting darkness, gloom, and Pacific northwest moisture has driven this small, independent game company to offer 10% off on all of its products for the month of October.

[Trenton.]

November is depressed because his girlfriend, May, ran off with February, who she quotes, "Is fancier than you."

[Lilith]

i guess may-november romances really don't work out after all

[Mosquito---Slayer]

Yeah, may is just too hot for november.

[Trenton.]

February can be pretty cold at times. I personally don't think he deserves May.

[Actaeon]

May and September are clearly the perfect match. That's not based off a pun- it's just my opinion.

[Alorael at Large]

It's interesting that the months are feminine names and that only the Spring months are commonly used. I've also seen October, again as a woman's name.

 

—Alorael, who is just taking a roundabout way of saying he's going to be sexist and say that February is probably a she, not a he. And she absolutely doesn't deserve May.

[Randomizer]

August is insulted at being called feminine.

[Rowen]

I have known two August's, both female.

[Alorael at Large]

Hail, Caesaris!

 

—Alorael, who is now considering further. Days of the week aren't names except for the fictional Thursday Next. Seasons can be: there's the famous Summer Glau, and he's also met an Autumn. But no Springs, oddly enough, even though those are the monthly favorites. Winter is apparently a feminine name too, but he's never encountered it. Except Milady de Winter, of course.

[Randomizer]

I was thinking of Sean Connery's character in the movie version of The Avengers TV show.

[Lilith]

I have known two August's, both female.

 

counterpoint: august derleth

 

I was thinking of Sean Connery's character in the movie version of The Avengers TV show.

 

1) when was that a movie

 

2) why was sean connery in it

[Randomizer]

Movie was 1998 with Sean Connery playing the villain Sir August de Wynter. His sisters mentioned in the novelization were May and June.

[Mosquito---Slayer]

Such names are sort of strange, you can have dialogues like:-

August who was born in august died in august, or

Winter who was born in summer died in spring due to rains.

[nikki.]

this thread <3

 

I know/have known a couple of Autumns, and a June, but that's it, I think.

[The Almighty Doer of Stuff]

Winter who was born in summer died in spring due to rains.

 

Rains? Not due to a fall?

[Mosquito---Slayer]

Rains? Not due to a fall?

I thought of that but the 'a' played the spoilsport.

[Student of Trinity]

How bout they went skydiving last summer and died in the fall.

[Alorael at Large]

Always carry the one

Autumn Summers, engineer, falls into clock, killed by spring due to mathematical error.

 

—Alorael, who also managed to sneak in a very stealthy pun that makes summer the culprit.

[Actaeon]

Where are the pun police when you need them?

[Callie]

I've met a girl named Winter, which I thought was an unusual name. I'm just surprised I haven't met anyone named Year or Wet Season.
