DCLXIX: In Which Responsible Sodium Intake Is Advised

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: ooh, I'm not sure I'd want to go out on a boat on that lake
ibleedgraphite: there is probably a monster in the lake
Lani Kai: is it called Salty?
ibleedgraphite: yeah, salt is the REAL monster
ibleedgraphite: it causes diabetes and hypertension

DCLXVI: Brainy

Lani Kai: damn, I don't know if I can handle you posting so many photos
ibleedgraphite: is your brain going to explode?
Lani Kai: and leave an orange stain on a wood board
ibleedgraphite: which I will proudly display in my window
Lani Kai: I'm sure there is a modern art museum out there that would
ibleedgraphite: because your brain is so minimalist. LOL

DCLXIV: Grudging Approval

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: this one is somewhat uncharacteristic of you
ibleedgraphite: how is it uncharacteristic?
Lani Kai: the contrast is not as high as usual
ibleedgraphite: I switched to my brother's monitor as the primary, remember?
ibleedgraphite: on my end, it is as contrasty as they always were
Lani Kai: I guess it's good

DCLXIII: WANGLE

© Colorburn

ibleedgraphite: WANGLE is not a word
ibleedgraphite: cheater
Lani Kai: I didn't think so either

DCL: Renumerate

© Colorburn

ibleedgraphite: shouldn't it be DCIL?
Lani Kai: "IL" should never ever appear
Lani Kai: "I" can only be in front of "V" and "X", "L" is preceded by "X"
ibleedgraphite: XLIX seems inefficient compared to IL
Lani Kai: tell that to the Romans
Lani Kai: all of this is inefficient and pretentious compared to Arabic numerals anyway
ibleedgraphite: 0 was invented by the Arabs in order to describe your mom on a scale of 1 to 9

DCXLVI: AA-A

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: incidentally, the AA in England is the equivalent of AAA here
ibleedgraphite: are they doubly anonymous, or twice as alcoholic?
ibleedgraphite: oh wait, that would be if AAA was AA
Lani Kai: they come and tow your car
ibleedgraphite: I see, they have smaller cars so they only need two As

DCXLIV: Burninate

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: I don't know, you tell me what a good place to host photos is
ibleedgraphite: I guess I would just make a website that showed them all in a giant grid
Lani Kai: like so?
ibleedgraphite: kind of, but with good pictures
ibleedgraphite: BURN!

DCXXXIX: Ninjombie

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: I cannot find my camera charger
Lani Kai: I put it on the floor in my room when i got back from my trip; it has since disappeared
ibleedgraphite: zombies took it
ibleedgraphite: or you moved it and forgot
Lani Kai: I'm leaning toward the former
Lani Kai: however a zombie problem is previously unheard of
ibleedgraphite: they are very small
Lani Kai: are you sure those are zombies?
ibleedgraphite: I could be mistaken
ibleedgraphite: perhaps very small ninjas
Lani Kai: they could be regular size ninjas; you still wouldn't notice
ibleedgraphite: regular ninjas kill you in your sleep
ibleedgraphite: mini ninjas steal your camera charger

DCXXXVIII: Misunderstood

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: you need to learn how to rotate your photos properly
Lani Kai: and how to make them not green
ibleedgraphite: it's more intuitive to visually scan a horizontal composition than a vertical one
Lani Kai: okay, and it's somehow intuitive to make some shoes hang sideways
Lani Kai: I completely understand now

DCXXXV: Up What

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: "what are you up to?"
Lani Kai: how can I say that without ending with a preposition?
Lani Kai: to what up are you?
Lani Kai: up to what, you are?

ibleedgraphite: are you up to something; if so, what is it?
ibleedgraphite: to what are you up?
Lani Kai: that ends in a preposition

DCXXXII: Atypical

© Colorburn

View Uncropped

Lani Kai: the low contrast and saturation is somewhat atypical
Lani Kai: you need to go take pictures instead of using old film scans though
Lani Kai: when was the last time you used your XS?
ibleedgraphite: when I took naked pictures of myself in the mirror this morning
ibleedgraphite: ...just kidding

DCXXIX: More Blues

© Colorburn

ibleedgraphite:you get to choose: blue or orange 
Lani Kai: blue

...

Lani Kai: there also appears to be a hair or something on the top left corner
ibleedgraphite: it's called a punctum
ibleedgraphite: if you had picked orange, you would have gotten some Joshua Tree clouds
Lani Kai: that can come tomorrow or something then
ibleedgraphite: nope, you already chose; you can never go down that path
ibleedgraphite: that's like if Neo took both pills at the same time
Lani Kai: well he should have
Lani Kai: or at least, he should have taken one, then asked for the other at a later time
ibleedgraphite: that wasn't covered by his HMOrpheus

DCXXI: Overruled

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: did you know that if you let z = the radius of a circle
Lani Kai: pi*z*z=a?
ibleedgraphite: a = pi*eceofshit
ibleedgraphite: where eceofshit = radius squared
Lani Kai: variables are not supposed to be 9 letters long
ibleedgraphite: stop making up rules

DCXV: Deterministic

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: I'm not going to ask the inevitable
ibleedgraphite: 1. if it's inevitable, you're going to ask it anyway so you might as well
ibleedgraphite: 2. if it's not inevitable, you don't have any compunction against not asking it, so you might as well
Lani Kai: that is a fair point; I will attempt to put off asking the inevitable for as long as possible
ibleedgraphite: how about you provide the first and last words of the question, and I will infer the middle part
Lani Kai: the... this?
ibleedgraphite: "the photograph is incredibly awesome; why is this?"
ibleedgraphite: it's because I turned it upside down

DCIX: Reddy or Not

© Colorburn

ibleedgraphite: this is red
Lani Kai: that is red

DCVIII: Tied Down

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: so you know how "SOS" is ***---***
Lani Kai: "3TIE" is ***---***
Lani Kai: how do you differentiate?
ibleedgraphite: I don't think you need to
ibleedgraphite: wearing 3 ties is clearly a fashion emergency requiring immediate relief

DCVII: Niche Market

© Colorburn

ibleedgraphite: nurf
Lani Kai: nerf?
ibleedgraphite: no, that's trademarked
Lani Kai: are you allowed to have homophonic product names?
Lani Kai: like an App-Oh Eyepod?
ibleedgraphite: great, mp3 player for autistic Koreans

DCV: Annoying

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: this is the kind of photo your mother would like, if not for the missing petals
ibleedgraphite: I like it for the annoyingly saturated colors

DCIV: Trickery

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: that is rather Ansel Adams-y
Lani Kai: I like the light
ibleedgraphite: it is artificial
ibleedgraphite: there's actually very little contrast
ibleedgraphite: changing the levels that much messed up the color, which is hidden by the bw
ibleedgraphite: I've probably never taken a correctly exposed photo in my life that turned out well

DXCVIII: Bzz

© Colorburn

Lani Kai: is it turned toward you?
ibleedgraphite: yes, it is ready for its close-up
Lani Kai: why the black and white?
Lani Kai: and it's like a mild black and white by your standards
ibleedgraphite: moving the levels enough to bring out the highlights in the bee
ibleedgraphite: blew out the background on the right, which is like exactly the same shade of gray
ibleedgraphite: and I was too lazy to make the adjustments manually
