Aww. That little jerk just admitted he got this from his Calvin and Hobbes book. And here I was all proud. Still, bonus points for actually carrying it through.
 
God no.But I want to do those things while I am young enough to do them.
*another win. I just got the "I Like It a Lot" award. Yey >.<
You should be less worried about doing that before you get old and more worried about doing it before the Dutch government makes it any harder for foreigners to buy weed anywhere but Amsterdam.

Fade's kid and David's Facebook status... both awesome :cool:

As for yours truly... went and met with a local bowyer today, and placed an order for a lacquered 35-pounder longbow, ten arrows and a leather bracer, all custom work. Total cost? 200€ ($270) - which is, in fact, one third less if I had gone for a factory-made set. Delivery time: one month. The bowyer's a friend of a friend and a one-time acquaintance of mine from Medieval swordfighting classes, so he cut me a nice 15% discount and promised to etch a design of my choice into the bracer. Sweet!

Now, if I could only decide whether to go with some manner of a crusader cross or the White Tree of Gondor...
 
It's a single line, starting from the top-left, and going diagonally towards the bottom-right. The name is misleading since "Bar" means horizontal lines, making it more correct to call it a "Bend Sinister", but since the french term for the diagonal is "barre", it's easy to see where the name came from.
 
My nephew is walking on his own now.
He had another brain surgery two nights ago, and was perfectly fine yesterday, to the point that he was actually discharged by the end of the day; less than 24hrs after brain surgery. And then I went on facebook today and my sister posted video of him walking down the street earlier today. Because that is how he rolls.

You may now call me: General Specific, Homeowner. :D :D :D :D

incidentally, I may be absent for a while. Time Warner didn't have an appointment to come hook up my service until October 22nd. >_<
Geez, really?? That seems stupidly ridiculous. Are you still in Lexington?
 
Not me personally, but my old HS band... just got an invite to the 2013 Tournament of Roses Parade. They did the Macy's parade back in 2009.
 
So,today the No Alcohol Policy in our public tanspotration system was activated.So before midnight we (and maybe around 10000 other people) decided to get shitfaced drunk in the trains before the fines were implented. I havnt drunk as much in almost 2 years like i did today. I may have made out with one or two girls (or really androgynous guys) but I was too busy jumping from one train to another to bother collecting numbers. I looooove Jägermeister >.<

Well that kinda defeats the purpose of taking public transit to the bars...
 
That was the one of the main arguments against that policy.Personally,it was a part of the whole evening out routine to get your drink on on the way to the party/bar/club.But now that is history.
According to a survey 87% or so,of all commuters were for a alcohol bann.They probably took the survey on a sunday morning when all the party people were still sleeping.
 
For clarity, that was his fifth brain surgery. I wasn't sure of the number before but I asked my brother in law yesterday.
I'm at home for the weekend and he is just amazing me.
