The Syndicate

My brother is at Gen Con and I am so jealous

It is something to do with the Tour de France (TdF). Froome is an elite bicyclist. As for Skybots & bertie, I am as lost as you

OK, so the Deepak Chopra generator is addictive.

My fave so far: "Mice open invisible boundaries"

She is Bass' Mom.

We are

I will be sad to go home.

And Timmer & Black Rock, Long Con, DisPor, Canuck. I am sure there are others, that's who comes to mind off the top of my head.

Happy Canada Day

I had an argument with my Great Uncle (who is a VERY OLD MAN) a while back about this. He got all in my face about it, how pastors & priests would be forced to perform weddings for people against their conscience.

Um, Uncle, I said. Catholic priests have been not marrying people for YEARS because it went against their beliefs. Can't get a Catholic wedding if divorced, can't get a Catholic wedding if marrying a non-Catholic. And iirc, it is the same for Orthodox. No one tried to FORCE Father Whazzizname to do the wedding for my husband and I (he was my husbands priest) when he refused becasue I was not a Catholic. Why do people think it will be otherwise now?

So I am not getting the "it is an attack on my beliefs" argument, if religious officiants have always dictated who they would and would not marry for religious reasons. So, a gay person could not sue the Westboro Baptists for refusing to perform a Gay Wedding, because it clearly violates their doctrine. So I am not sure what Huckabee and his ilk are screaming about, acting as if Gay Marriage is a second spear stuck in Jesus' side.

My brother, Jesse, who is gay posted on Facebook that he was annoyed at the Gay Marriage ruling. He said that now he's lost his excuse when the Aunts ask him, "So when are you going to get married??" LOL

Wow. it doesn't get much more heartwarming than that.

Lost my taste for Mafia tonight. I have sewing to do.

I am so sorry to hear that, Epi.

Some people don't know how to take a compliment

Almost Pi Minute

It was lovely today

Fifty degrees! Snow melting! There is still over two feet of it on the lawn, but it is slowly shrinking!

If no one else has it, I can check tonight

That would be awesome.

We have missed you a bunch. Wait til everyone finds out - in fact i have to tell a few people by pm right now.

It's been an interesting year or so. But no need to go into that mess right now. I went looking through the sites I used to frequent and found most of them dead and ended up finding everyone here. Yay for internets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh squeeeeee

I can feel most feels

OK, about to go out into 2*, -16* with the wind chill factored in. There are not enough layers.

I don't like other melons, they all feel slimy to me. But I do like watermelon. I think canteloupe is repulsive.

Land Shark!!

Well then

I used to live in a cherry growing region, in Western Montana. We were famed for cherries & Huckleberries, and everything was cherry. We even had a local roaster that made a cherry coffee. It was pretty good, actually.

But that is how I feel about faux watermelon flavoring. I LOVE watermelon, but watermelon flavoring is gross.

I like cherries & blood oranges, yum

I see enough of the commuter bus already, Thank You

It isn't the snow/sleet/etc that is so bad, it's the 6million + people on an 120 mile long skinny island all trying to get home in a snowstorm at the same time on the same 6 roads.

I liked snow in Montana, in NY, not so much

That is such a sweet proposal

*melts*

Congrats young man!

Christmas is expensive in the USA.

It could be....

Do we have to worry about being raided?

Really good, not too sweet, and a nice bite. Good in tea for colds too.

And I dove headfirst into the tumblr for Godzilla Haiku, so yeah. I am in love.

Have you ever tried Barenjager? It's a German Honey booze, awesome and stupendous.

And I have fallen in love with Godzilla Haiku

For me it was Picaresque~ this is one of my top five favorite songs of all time, from that album:



Since you are in the Northwest, if you ever make it to Missoula, Colin Meloy went to college there, and did some garage band stuff. Decemberists are big there.

"it was not the only death in the morning to the way that you want."
Now you all know why sometimes i make so little sense

It's all he can afford in Finland.

It's too expensive in New York, too

I bet Llama uses one of these:

I think bea is right, my stepsister THINKS she's cool, but her husband is the cool one. She does not have as much of a sense of humor as she would like to believe she has. I think she would freak if someone explained it to her, lol, or started calling Ava "Cersei" which someone would

Thanks for the ideas I want to see if I can find Firefly stuff, he turned her on to that, and it is a tad more innocuous

Just one though.

OK, my stepsister is having a baby, a boy. she has two daughters. I saw a onesie that says "valonqar" on it. In GOT, the valonqar is the little brother prophesied to kill his sister (Cercei). The Dad watches/reads GOT, sissy does not.

Would this be a fun geeky baby gift, or would it be really tactless? Sometimes I have issues telling the difference.

I ordered my fist Christmas present today, some fireplace firestarter candles for my pyro Dad. Not sure whether to feel proud, or ashamed.

Well, then I am a spectacular success

That is great, Thanks for posting it, Matt

OK, my geek heart is bursting with joy:
