LOL REALLY? Grats Snakes.

If you want that, for Gryffindor at least, you'll probably get the most out of us (that are have drifted over here) to reply if it's "Would the Marauders be a fan of David Bowie, especially his more psychedelic stages, Queen's melodic escapades or are they strictly classic rockers (or present rockers, for them) like Led Zeppelin etc etc."

or even better "Would introducing Mr. Weasley to Youtube be a good idea, why or why not"

...

I'm stealing that last one.

[alohachary1851.livejournal.com]

you mean stealing and giving bonus points for.

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course. Which is, in fact, the definition of stealing.

[alohachary1851.livejournal.com]

THIEEEF. MY GRYFFINDOR SENSE OF SOCIAL JUSTICE FORCES ME TO APPREHEND YOU AND THREATEN YOU MEANINGLESSLY :P

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE. MY RAVENCLAW INTELLIGENCE WILL OUTWIT YOU. XP XP

[alohachary1851.livejournal.com]

AND MY GRYFFINDOR EGO WILL CRUSH YOU.

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

AND MY RAVENCLAW RAMBLYNESS WILL DRIVE YOU TO INSANITY BECAUSE THAT'S THE NATURE OF BEING RAMBLY AND BEING CRUSHED BY EGOS IS NO MATCH FOR RAMBLYNESS

AND WHY ON EARTH AM I ON CAPSLOCK

[alohachary1851.livejournal.com]

LA LA LA TL;DR. :P

JOKES LANG, PRE.

AND WHY ON EARTH AM I ON CAPSLOCK

YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED. PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEAREST CHECKPOINT AND SURRENDER YOUR RAVENCLAW CONTRABAND. IT WILL BE INCINERATED.

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOES. NEVAR.

[ex-absolute.livejournal.com]

Holy mother of batman. I didn't actually expect top debater this time around. That's actually rather snazzy.

I'm really proud of all mah debating Snakes. You guys are the best. :D

Also, holy crap Ravenclaw. Tons of participation there! ♥

[chewyyyyyy.livejournal.com]

Congrats Sam! ♥

[ex-absolute.livejournal.com]

Thank youuuuuu. I'm still waiting for a cookie, btw. ;D

[ex-http://alight.livejournal.com/839]

YOU MUST SURRENDER YOUR RAVENCLAW CONTRABAND. IT WILL CLASH HORRIBLY WITH YOUR SKIN AFTER WE DYE YOU RED AND GOLD. EXPERTS AGREE: YOU WILL BE EMBARRASSED.

[chewyyyyyy.livejournal.com]

dont worry, i convince the elves and they wont come after you for the time being XD

[ex-absolute.livejournal.com]

So I am safe but lacking in confectionery? Lol.

[ex-http://alight.livejournal.com/839]

I wanted to participate, but ... my brain ... kept ... breaking ... and ... yeah. D:

I'm really not surprised that Slytherin won. THIS WAS YOUR TIME TO SHINE, BBS.

[rhye.livejournal.com]

Just my honest opinion, but I felt this debate was pretty divisive. It very quickly turned into 'all the ways Slytherin is better than Gryffindor.' It's not really a great surprise to see that Gryffindors didn't really want to take part in a discussion that just had us defending our house repeatedly. Right now, Gryffindor/Slytherin tensions among members of HiH are at an all-time high since I joined nearly a year ago. It's a totally valid discussion topic and I support that. I guess I'm hoping that in the future we won't have debates that exacerbate current problems in HiH? We're lucky the Gryffindors went tl;dr on this one, I think.

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Noted. :) Not being a member of either house, I guess I just didn't feel that this could heighten current problems. I'll try and consult with members of all houses before picking a debate topic - it would be more fair that way, yes?

[lovestyle.livejournal.com]

Ooh do this, yes! Between the "argue Snape is best" debate and this one, I haven't really felt the debates much, but OMG they're one of my favorite activities. ): I WANT TO PARTICIPATE, BUT I NEED A CAUSE I CAN GET BEHIND. U NOES?

[ex-absolute.livejournal.com]

What does tl;dr even mean? *has been wondering this for ages*

[omfgerbear.livejournal.com]

Tl;dr = too long;didn't read... or something like that.

Srsly, you don't know? :O

[ex-http://alight.livejournal.com/839]

; didn't read

[ex-absolute.livejournal.com]

Haha. No I've never seen it explained. xD And I couldn't figure out the context because I'm dumb. :P

I'm good at missing things like that...
