I was worried about some of the kiwis I knew hung out around the SPF with the recent eathquake and I just had to come in and check on you people. Then I started reading *Sigh* I did go back to about post 3000 and read a bit.... but I will admit it wasn't to the previous point I'd read to (oh nos I missing some EMB posts!) you guys spam more than FB.
Now for me to rehash things I'd missed!
FG stinks, it did from the start. It was a knock off of the Simpsons, and not even the good parts, just a lame parody of the sterotypes and some slap stick mixed with potty humor. It tried too hard and failed royaly. Not unlike MadTV. There was a reason to cancel them both.
corax married I vaguly seem to recall hearing, but a daddy!? a much belated congrats. (My little man will be 18 months soon, forget climbing he's running. How can some one grow too fast and not fast enough at the same time?) Goltar grew a beard to keep his face warm this winter, but when he answered the door last week
with two small children the sales lady asked "are your parents home?" It's not the beard or the youth that makes you seem evil, it's just you ;D
p.s. you still a butcher?
@pman you SOOOO jinxed us (3 days in a row, nearly a foot of snow, and more next week) and I wasn't even reading it! that's some powerful jinx man... But I will still get you one of the lovely old fashioned M.Dew's they're making near us with *gasp* real cane sugar (it's so sweet it'll hurt your teeth.)
Beer is NASTY. There are so many boozes that taste better if one is going to drink. Vanilla extract for one (betcha didn't know it's 35% by volume!). Really, beer's purpose is to 1. preserve the calories in grain which will otherwise rot and make you sick over winter and 2. kill microbes in water. So unless you don't have a way to get fresh food in winter/store your crops or are drinking sewer water, it's silly. And DON'T get me started on light beer. That's just an offense to nature, science, God, man, you name it.
@ahcw: you extended the age just a little to much. The 30 years olds are okay, barely, it's the ones born 1981 or maybe late 1980 and onward that are the worst. I know, the grade behind us was so bad I still remember the teachers talking about it (they'd come into the library to gossip with each other while I was in the back room filing and pulling magazines.)
SIDHE! I have cookies
On behalf of the Nevada tourism board I invite you all to Carson City, Nevada next Halloween for the
annual beard contest. Since they very polietly call it "most bearded community" I think SPF/EMB ought to qualify.
