Posted January 22, 2011 Happy with that result, I now own 2 Wii's (white and new one above) Why? ...why? I can't find a better way to word this. Why? Please tell me you're giving the white one to Childs Play or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 I didn't know amazon did pocketwatches. I need to get another really, but can't decide which ones to get off etsy. It's not Amazon itself who sells it, though, it's one of its sellers. Also, note that it's not antique, but just designed that way. I'd be too weary about carrying a real antique, and a battery watch is much more practical than a wind-up watch (and much more silent, if I recall correctly). Plus it was really cheap at only £9.99! Love it Dannyboy!! This whole Sherlock/Layton vibe is great! The world needs more eccentric characters! Thanks! It's exactly the vibe I was going for. Looks absolutely dapper together with my brown suit! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 @Dannyboy: My initial reaction was a bit "...", but then under analysis, I'm stunned, because I love when people dress with awareness. Knowing Professor Layton is a great thing to take inspiration from. Adds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 I can imagine, most of them that I buy are battery ones, as it's far easier, though I'd love to buy a proper wind up, but I haven't the funds. I've seen one very similar on etsy to the one you've got, very lovely, did you buy a chain too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) @Dannyboy: My initial reaction was a bit "...", but then under analysis, I'm stunned, because I love when people dress with awareness. Knowing Professor Layton is a great thing to take inspiration from. Adds. Meh, I realise it might seem pretty cliché/wannabe/can't find the right word, but I don't really care. I love the whole 19th century gentleman stereotype, so I couldn't help but buy this. People can think what they want as long as it makes me feel good. (For the record I haven't actually played any of the Layton games, but really want to. Unfortunately I lost my DS, and the price as well as the many different models have put me off getting a new one. I plan to sometime, though.) EDIT: That's amazing, Retro! I think Basil The Great Mouse Detective (Disney's take on Sherlock Holmes) was my first introduction to the era, and I was hooked immediately. It's only as of late I've really begun pursuing this interest, though. Edited January 22, 2011 by Dannyboy-the-Dane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, that's how I feel re: clothes, and image in general. If you're not making yourself lel in pleasure every time you look in the mirror, you're doing it wrong.

Posted January 22, 2011 The verb "lel" conjures up this in my head: My favourite thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 I love how lel has no definitive meaning. It depends entirely on the context, tbf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 lel is severely under used. Its a completely valid syminveol for "lol", yes....but it is so much more than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 22, 2011 lel? I dislike how all these "words" like lol, lul and lel actually exist in Dutch. Makes it weird to read them online in a completely different context/language. D: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
