You could change now. Everyone would be baffled. You'd probably also get lynched far less often lest people get smited.

But I'd probably still call you G.

When people change their names here, I refuse to call them by their new name on principle, even if I called them that exclusively before the name change.

The end? Is it the end? Oh man, I felt like I was just getting started.

I managed to get the first page of the A World Apart thread saved for posterity.

Oh wow. Things one needs to save to the Wayback machine...

Wish you'd managed more

I'm glad you were able to get something saved LC.

Indeed.

Well, I would imagine LT is gonna let RM go dark eventually. SO if there is anything you want to save over there, might not be a bad idea to do so. The Survivor game led me to read some old stuff over there, and it our history as a tribe, you know?

ebwop, all the rest of it is pretty much gone. LP, TP, HV,STV.

I agree. I've never thought about it before, but I think it's time.

I might have to go back and find Grease on STV and do the same.

Yeah. I should grab Sandman. And there's some number of Recruitment Mafias over there as well.

WTF? It's gone already!!!

I wonder if Rick Astley is embarrassed and annoyed at becoming a huge joke, or if he's just happy for the view royalties?

It's the very first time I'd fallen for it.

No, you won.

Although you just lost the game.

I'm obsessed with the phrase "ape honey."

thellama73 wrote:I'm obsessed with the phrase "ape honey."

I am unfamiliar with that phrase.

Yeah, new to me as well.

It's a phrase of my own invention. My new life goal is to inject it into the public consciousness.

It came from me last Friday.

Photobucket is screwy right now, and I can't upload photos. I'm trying to share a Google Photos image with G-Man, and he says he couldn't see it. SO I'm just posting here in Randomville to test. Can anyone see this?



I can see it. But maybe I'm the only one.

No - it is just a question mark on my computer.

And this?

Yes, I see this - looks good!

Quiet in here tonight.

Too many COOKS.

I'm taking my daughter to her first minor league fight tomorrow night. Hopefully a hockey game will break out.

"BOOK"

You know that house we just bought?

It almost burned to the ground.

I'm not kidding.

You see, I bought a propane grill for the first time this weekend, and used it Saturday night. It went well, although the food could've been better I guess.

The next morning we went to church. I had to play the bass and fill in for the pastor. Busy morning.

On the drive back, we encountered fire trucks at the entrance of our cul-de-sac.

"Oh dear God, I've only been here a few months and I've already taken out part of the neighborhood."

I held my breath as I turned the corner.

The house was still standing (I'm in it right now). There were two trucks blocking our driveway. I had to get out and find out what was the matter.

"Are you Mr. Brown?"

"Aw shit..." "Yes."

Turns out a nearby neighbor decided to burn a tree stump with cooking oil and, since it's been dry and windy lately, the wind carried the flames into all the neighbors' yards. We are on a cul-de-sac that is inside a circular street, so we have neighbors and then we have neighbors roundabout us. The fence behind us is charcoal. The trees are scorched. The grass is black.

The fire came within five feet of our home.

Our backyard looks like Mordor.

Shit Epi, I'm glad it wasn't as bad as it could've been. Still, your neighbour needs a...talking to.

My dad almost blew our propane grill up the first time he used it so... thank God for the little metal sheet shield/guard thing that's now had a dent in it for ~4 years.

Sounds like the Fire Department did their job admirably. I'm very glad to hear that all is well in the house (and Mordor is a decent memento).

Fire departments around here kick ass. They are filled with guys who from childhood aspired to be nothing else but firemen. I grew up with several of them.

The policeman said she said this: "Well, at least their grass will grow back greener."

Thanks for your services, lady.

She better make the fence grow back sturdier too.

For now, just pretend your backyard went and got a great tan.

Epi will the grass really grow back or will the neighbor have to sod your yard? And I take it they are going to rebuild your fence?

I don't want sodding anything from a neighbor who burns stumps with cooking oil on a dry windy day.

And no, the grass should be fine.

And it's not our fence. Belongs to the people behind us.
