This song sends shivers down my spine:

ask your doctor about desensitivization. It takes time and it's tedious (going several days a week to the hospital to get innoculated). I'm allergic to dust myself, and plan to get desensitized after I graduate.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I somehow doubt that an emergent allergy jumped him from "non-allergic" to "fatal aspxiation from trace peanut dust" all of a sudden. There are treatments for allergies, and the lighter the reaction the better chance desensitivization has.

I just want to advise lordnincompoop to look for a potental help instead of never eating nuts again.

[ToonyMan]

This joke just got serious business.

[Armok]

So... bored...

I need something to do. Does anyone have any ideas? I can't leave this room...

Search room

Sanctuary

This is the room in which you spend the majority of your time. It is dimly lit, with the only available light coming in through the window containing the air conditioner, which keeps the room at a survivable 65 degrees.

In one corner of the room lies your particleboard desk which you inherited from your uncle. It is currently home to your computer terminal. Surrounding the machine are various notes and discarded empty containers which once contained processed food. On the shelves behind the desk are various old expansion cards, spectacle cases, spools of wire, hard drives, and an old robot. Above these shelves are more shelves, containing many plastic utensils, folders, remote controls, batteries, compact discs, and books. Your small collection of "For Dummies" books are the ones that catch your eye first (possibly because they are yellow), there are even more of them on the bookcase outside your room. Dwarfing the entire collection is your "All-In-One CISSP Exam Guide", which you previously used as a nightstand.

In the other corner is an antique dresser, which you're pretty sure is empty. On it are various tall spools of optical media, some masking tape, an old digital microscope, various electronic components, and your multimeter. It should also be home to your old 30-watt soldering iron and a spool of solder, but these appear to have disappeared mysteriously along with most of your other tools. Beside the dresser is a stack of old motherboards, and various cardboard boxes which contain various wires and test leads. Next to all of this is your ancient television, which is not hooked up to any television service, and a broken video game console, which you have sold all the games for.

In the next corner is your bed, which is held up by various old and dead electronic devices, including a VHS+DVD player and two old computers. Next to it is an old Macintosh computer, which you use as a bedstand to put your spectacles on.

In the next corner is Bessie, your old server, and a large CRT monitor which you also inherited from your uncle. The monitor is resting on an old pot, the keyboard and mouse on top of a cardboard box containing stuffed animals and a pack of E-size rocket engines. Bessie is currently switched off.

In the next corner is the window and air conditioner. Below the window lies your wireless router and network equipment and phone. In front of this lie some broken electronic equipment and two nonfunctional ancient hand-held computers.

The room can be exited through the door, which has no handle and must be opened with a tool, or through the eaves, which double as an emergency escape hatch and hiding place.

Why? It's empty.

Take the key from the unicorn and exit to the south.

I don't see any unicorn here.

No, of course.  I'm just saying... unsupervised nomming of all nuts ever with that particular allergy sounds like a bad idea.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

That was an emotive statement, that I wished to make clear with the note about seeking medical expertise about it and not doing so otherwise.

[Footkerchief]

One thing that made me depressed was that I was suddenly found to be allergic to nuts, and the doc confirmed it. I really like nuts, and suddenly I can't have any.

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

Fair enough =)  Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

Also, ow.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

EW. EW. EW. EW. EW.

[Diablous]

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

Oh god.

[Haspen]

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

WHYYYY.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

PETA should mention that...thing...in their arguments. Bet they would get a recrutment increase.

[Aqizzar]

As if there was anybody in the world who didn't already know that.  We've been castrating livestock for thousands of years.  If you come up with a better way to get the nuts off an angry bull, I'm sure everyone would love to know about it.

Ye can't keep ye nuts!

WHYYYY.

Because fat cows make more meat, that's why.  They're gonna die anyway; as long as their balls don't wind up in your burger, do you really care what happens to them?

[ToonyMan]

Aqizzar is wise and knowledgeable.
