What?!?!  How can you say that's where the Xbox belongs.  I love Halo 2 and the Xbox and Xbox 360 (it's still hard to believe it's finally out) are the only things that run it.

 

Compromise, I'm glad to see that you're back.

[Fairlane500 8]

I am sure looking forward to this school week, only three days! I'm hoping that on Friday I can go meet some friends and see a movie or something, but I keep feeling I'll end up just doing homework.

How about a a bismarck and a glass of milk? (At least Bismarck is easier to spell than Gneisenau, let alone pronounce.)

[Voar Tok 4]

That was one nice steak you made me.

Welcome back, Comporomise!  And thanks for the milkshake!

 

Hey, this calls for a double celebration.  I couldn't think of a better place to do this either.

The opposition is going to try and force and election today here in Canada. If sucessful, we'll be going to the polls in January..

I can see the attack ads now..

 

The Conservatives and NDP want a Christmas Campain. Do you want your ho ho ho's interrupted with hi, hi, hi!'s? A message from the Fiberals of Canada.

 

That kept my up half the night

@N_O_Body: translator is a really tricky job. That's something I'll never do. Your last post is a very good example of weird translation-understanding... By Voting with your feet [...], I guess that you mean to walk away.  Well, I hope so since the 1st level meaning in French is not used in that particular context. The 2nd level meaning would and voting with your feet would mean something like using feet instead of brain to think (and then vote), which is obviously not the kindest thing to say.

 

BTW, I'm testing a new chair warming technology actually. No, it doesn't use zuke's venom. I already scrapped one of your chair testing it.

 

@CDI-Spy: is Two Rivers a local microbrewery? Do they have a stout?

 

@Leech10: I discovered zuke's venom power when I tried to take a sample: it dissolved my test tube and I scrapped a chair. Fortunately, I discovered a way to operate atomic fusion on a very very small scale. I'm actually testing my prototype on a seat here. I hope it won't blow up like the Bikini atoll..

 

@vidioman: at Christmas, we're giving are receiving gifts, we have to decide between turkey and ham... It sounds the same as campaign for me anyway!

 

@Voar Tok: congratulations! That's my 372th. Nothing to celebrate.

 

That's p. 66... Is someone a fan of Depeche Mode here?

*Going near the bar, putting a reindeer in the juke box, choosing Route 66 remix by Depeche Mode, listening carefully, enjoying*

 

[Zelgadis 638]

Very strange...

My hair is turning blonde again. It used to do that all the time when I was a kid, but it's been several years. At first, I thought I was getting massive grey areas, but my bf checked and I am not. Then I thought it was the lighting, but it isn't.

I'm just turning blonde again... I thought I outgrew that...

I still have a bit of grey on my temples though.

*Sits back and awaits inevitable blonde jokes*

I'd like to order some North Carolina style BBQ ribs and pulled pork with a mess of greens and a pitcher of tea. And make sure the sauce is vinegar-based. Yes, I know it takes all day to smoke the BBQ properly, but I can wait. *whistles Dixie*

I'm feeling a bit picky today. Did ya notice?

[Goldfish4209 9]

Hey, Moose. I'll have a cold (not ice cold, just cold) llama milk and a whatever seems to be really popular. Nice place.

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Execute order 66...

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

@Leech10 : I discovered zuke's venom power when I tried to take a sample: it dissolved my test tube and I scrapped a chair.

Beware when using plastic test tubes with zuke venom. They will react and it may cause a dangerous build up of hydrogen gas.

The zukes go into the bathroom and take the XBox out and relocate it to the back room, where they begin to play.

*The sounds of glugging come from the glugs.*

[vidioman 21]

try the gharg

[djrules5454 5]

Crazy place to talk.

@ videoman:  I like your avatar, and I like the comic strip its from.

 

Basketball has started for me, which makes me happy.  Free pizza and breadsticks for every one!  It's all on me! (sorry, just had to give people free food for once)

@ hym: Well, I think console systems are a racket. It is bad enough that there are PC games like GTA, but we don't need to increase the drain on the consumer by pushing yet more computer technology on a limited platform. What a waste.

@ Fairlane500: Jelly donut and glass of milk served. Gneisenau? Schornhost to you too! As I recall, these were pocket battle cruisers in WW II in the battle of the Atlantic. Eventually sunk by the Royal Navy. More info here. Isn't that a pretty ship?

@ Shadow_Assassin: Holy torque wrench, SA, what are you doing about it?

@ vidioman: Since I didn't get a CBC alert notice about it, I assume it didn't happen. My understanding was that the main event was Thursday. The opposition parties are going to make sure we can have roast pig for Christmas. I expect the Gliberals to wage as dirty a campaign as can be imagined. I hope the opposition can shake off the mud and try a better path.

@ zmveliger: Vote with your feet implies leave the country. However, wiping one's feet on the Gliberals would be good if you were sure you could decontaminate later.

@zelgadis: Stressed whining is heard. The teleport system issues a couple of gasps. Here you are, Ian, I hope it is as you specified. The system was having trouble getting the components from the excited states. You are going blond? Probably a side effect of changing careers. A stress release can be rejuvenating, you know.

@Goldfish4209: Cooled fresh llama milk is served. The autosystem does an in depth telescan and produces a Moose Factory special Hamburger sandwich on a fresh kaiser bun with new dill pickel and a four ounce patty cooked through. There you are, enjoy. Welcome Goldfish!

@Leech10: How does zuke venom behave with glassware that has been properly cleaned in chromic acid? Does the molecular layer of chromium stop the corrosive effect?

@djrules5454_simtropolisedition: Talking is one of the best things we do. Why do people want breadsticks with pizza? All that crust is surely enough carbs for a meal.

Shadow_Assassin: Man, I'm glad that I'm not you.  Good luck with it!

vidioman: So Canada is having some sort of emergency elections?

 

zmveliger: Thanks!

 

zelgadis: Hmmm.  I have dark brown hair, but it looks black if I don't wash it every night.  I used to have some grey around my temples too, but it went away.  And I'm not going to start the blond jokes.  BTW, the BBQ sounds good.  Mind if I get some from the autoserver and join you?

 

Leech10: I didn't know that the restroom had an Xbox in it.  Will the zukes let me play?

 

djrules5454: Thanks for the food!

 

N_O_Body: I like consoles, but there is only so much that a person can do on them.

Though, even though Johnny Horton said the British wanted to sSink the Bismarck no one knows if it was truly them, or if the ship was scuttled. Alll we know is that only a handful of people know of its true location.

 

Though that is an impressive ship, I'd have to say I prefer the appearance of the old destroyers, such as the Clemson Class:

Well, I'm a Halo nut (I don't take it to the point of insanity, though) and Halo was meant to be played on the Xbox with a game controller in your hands, not on a mouse and keyboard.

[gggg 9]

Heh...

just thinking of starting a new CJ..

couse my last one was deleted due to the reinstal of windows....

anyways... gimme a well done duck with two littel bunnys

[zmveliger 16]

@zelgadis: brown hair becomes lighter usually because of the sun... Weird thing at this time of the year!

@Leech10: nice thing to now since a need a supply of hydrogen for my new chair warming technology.

 

@N_O_Body: corruption... That's something unacceptable but it exists everywhere, since the antiquity, even before... It seems that a lot of people here were thinking that it can't exists in the plus meilleur pays du monde! All the scandals have at least one good perspective: blowing the bubble of not us.

 

BTW, I wonder how you learned some French. You told me about some wine expeditions but that doesn't seem enough to learn that much.

 

@Fairlane500: impressive but I've seen friendlier marinas...

[A Nonny Moose 8,262]

@ gggg: Duck a l'orange is served with two nicely browned saddles of hare. You have to be careful what you call a bunny. Zegladis will object.

@ zmveliger: In 1950 - 1954 I was exposed to four years of Parisian French in High-school. The grade XII French teacher annoyed me greatly, so I dropped it since she would also teach it in grade XIII. [Yes, in those days, high-school in Ontario took five years if you expected to go to university.] After that, 40 years+ in the work force, some time spent in Montreal on assignments (e.g Expo '67), and exposure to French Opera has done something for my vocabulary, but not for my confidence to carry on a conversation. All fading. My grammar is probably OK, but rusty, and my vocabulary is very selective and small. In 1976 I spent about 10 days on my own in the Languedoc, mostly Bordeaux, for a holiday. One of the things I acquired there was a set of short stories by P. Merim

[zmveliger 16]

@N_O_Body: I went on Expo 67 site last summer... Outside a few exceptions (the new pool, the Biosphere museum, the casino), the old deserted structures look like ghosts of distant past... French grammar... where there's more exceptions than anything else. I'm particularly ignorant of French grammar despite that it's my first and everyday language. That doesn't meant my writing and speaking are poor... In fact, I'm reading and writing a lot but I'm using my feeling instead of the rules. For me, that not too rational approach has been successful enough to receive a few awards at school for it and having french writing skill well above average (I even got a job especially because of that). So if you seek someone to help you understand French grammar, forget about me!

BTW, did you have some news of MsD lately? It's been a while since the last time she came here and on her BAT thread. I hope she's OK.

[vidioman 21]

Tell me... what is wrong with it?

quote>

Nothing should happen, as chromium and glass don't have any carbon in them. (at least they shouldn't)

Voar Tok: You can go in the restroom, but the zukes moved the X-BOX to the back room. If you ask nicely they should let you play.


Zuke venom has no acids in it. However, zuke puke is a mixture of zuke venom, water, digestive enzymes, sulfuric acid, and whatever food the zuke recently ate.

Got our car back from the dealership.  Went in for a $30 oil change, came out with $800 in service work.

Don't you love how you go in for something simple and come out with a major bill.

They scammed you. You ask for an oil change, you should get an oil change.

And that picture is 770x340, within limits. so, yes I would mind.

And no I wont.

Well, what they actually did was go looking for stuff to fix.  I don't doubt that some of it needed to be done, but the fact that you come in for an oil change and they check the spark plugs is strange.

vidioman: I hate it when politicians get weird agendas.  However, I won't start on politics.

Leech10: I'm going to try it.  *Hey zukes, do you mind if I play with you.  We can play Halo 2 or something, and when we're done, I'll buy you a meal.*

 

hym: I know a guy that went in to get his oil changed and left with $1,400 worth of work.

 

NOTE TO THE AUTOSERVER: Whatever zukes like to eat, you'd better make a lot of it!
