I will tenderize you and put enough katsup and you guys will taste just fine:yum:

Hi, all...I'm charlene. I live in Kansas and work at an Indian casino out in the corn fields. I don't know anybody famous. I haven't had my 15 minutes of fame. I'm a good cook. The first time I got carded, I was waaaaaaay older than 21 :cool:

Damn , that's perceptive for an Aussie!

Hi again, I'm a guest. A permanent one. Never will you make me become notorious or well-known in any way, for thus I shall remain. There is no end to the hazing required.

Thanks for the welcome. I'n not skeerd of no bullies.

I'm a 43-year old historian for the National Park Service. I work at the NPS regional office here in Hotlanta. Divorced, childless freethinker with a penchant for discussion. I drink neither Jager (yech) nor Red Bull and am a Red Sox fan, so we differ there, but any guy who just says "hello" can't be all that bad (even though you guys took Pedro from us). I'm into the high-gravity beer lately.

Of course I like the Red Sox too. Probably my favorite American League Team. Pedro is kicking some butt for us this year. Should have been 6-0 if it wasn't for Billy Wagner the other night.

I'm just glad someone knew what he was talking about : )

Well I don't know what "high-gravity" beer is, though.

High Gravity Beer
 

Belgium-style ales with lots o' alcohol (8-11%). Hearty brew indeed.

I suppose I would be one of the wannabe's....but are we really that bad?

Maybe he is referring to beer that he drinks at high altitudes? LMAO

I guess I should have refreshed my page before I answered. Anyways. Are those darker beers or what?

Depends. Do you have a clue? :-)

I have lots of clues, just ask me. Do I have any clue about being a hippie, no. But I would and could give it a damn good try if I needed to.

yeah tripod sucks arse

I want a high-gravity beer!

Here you are:
 

its great to be new... people dont know your past...they dont know about your skeletons...or that you even have a walkin closet, with a view.

you can create a new persona... thats not really who you are. its great to be new. Fantastic even.

You can pretend to. But you're still who you always were.

Some folks shed their skins frequently to avoid the bad reps they keep accumulating, though.

Touche...

But if you, like me, have multiple personalities and your inner child is a runaway... it makes it that much more plausible.

[paraphrase=Stevebsjb] But I know I won't meet anyone sitting here in my apt playing games [/paraphrase]

:neutral:

It's the best of all possible worlds.
 

I LOVE being single! When I think back to all the times I was part of "couple," I have to admit that I often would think about how much I wanted to be single. Sex is good, companionship is nicel, no doubt, but there is more to life than that. Whatever happens happens. I'm content with friends, things to do, my job (I'm lucky in that regard). Hey limey! If you're not happy with yourself (as a single), you'll never be happy as part of a couple. I'll admit, however, that "The grass is always greener on the other side." I too wonder if things would be "better" if I were part of a couple; but I see so many couples that look soooooooo bored with each other. They begin to see arguments and petty shit as positive attributes of their relationship. You're better off single (untill you explode!!).

G'day all,

Hagar, 32, Male, Sales rep, engaged, from Brisbane, Australia. For the most part, wholly unremarkable!

The handle's an old nickname, 'cause I used to be horrible to the guys I worked for. I've even got the hat to prove it.

Interested in just about everything, but particularly old English cars.

This place seems to be about my speed, mostly because the topics appeal and don't all end in garbled l337 bollocks.

Greeting from across the pond, Hagar. Right now I'd rather talk about Brit cars than League....any particular era/marques?

Morris Minors at the moment. I'm restoring a 1958 Model. I've previously done a late 50's Land Rover, 1970 Cortina and mucked about with Austin 1800s.

What's with all the new Aussies? Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I LOVE the Aussies (they're so good at playing knifey-spoony.) ;) Just, you know, how'd we get so many of them so quick? Or, does it just seem that way?

Hullo to all of you, new and old.

That was looking interesting until you mentioned the Austin 1800s....

Hello and thank you for the warm reception!

I found the cellar by Googling for an odd picture of (I can't remember, but sure I found something even more odd here then got stuck in cyber time) and lurked for a few months. The good humor and tat-a-tat amongst board members left me laughing more than a few times. Seems that it's a very diverse group which makes for interesting reading. I thank you all.

I'm a 40 year old single Mom, seven years engaged to a wonderful man. I left the stress of high management to pursue a career in the fuel industry. Unbeknown to me that means fueling big yellow construction thingys. Currently I'm fueling/operating heavy equipment and gaining knowledge in infrastructure. I'm an artist, I like animals and this is starting to sound like it should end with I like long walks in the rain --do you like Pina Coladas?

I enjoy good humor.....hence the name. Sounded Irish after I wrote it, and well occasionally I belive we all have a leprechaun or two in our midst.

Enjoy the day, thanks again for the reception.
Romuh Doog

*Barnum hired clowns....our company got the clown college dropouts.

Kagen sent the word out via Bush Telegram, so, it looks like its heading up the North East Coast, then it will prolly go across the top end.

Should be a steady influx for a good few months.

i sent a kangaroo with a letter in its pouch. thats what you yanks want to hear isnt it??

Yes. I want to hear that and then some dirty talk!

what's that, skippy? He's got stuck down a mine?


no.....?


what then?


Oh, he wants to stick it up mine?

Thats why I left it open for you Kagen, I dont think I'm Bri's type. :p

Skippy and Lassie always amazed me!!

Morris Minors at the moment. I'm restoring a 1958 Model. I've previously done a late 50's Land Rover, 1970 Cortina and mucked about with Austin 1800s.

Hagar , post some pics !!!

how about you be lassie and ill be skippy. ill make you bark and you can make me bounce around

C'mon, guys...The young boy on Lassie was "Timmy" (Jon Provost) or "Jeff" (Tommy Rettig).

"Skippy" was the sponsor...Skippy Peanut Butter.

Geez. Let's also not confuse Timmy's mom (June Lockhart, who was also the mom on "Lost in Space"--no, not the movie) with Annette Funichello (Mousketeer and Skippy spokesperson) :-)

"Then the Kiwi said 'Don't you want to have a go, too?' and the Australian stuck his head in the fence..." :-)

makes sense to me

:sheep:

I agree...to an extent. Being single is nice, in a lot of ways. You can do what you want, when you want, and you don't have to run it by anyone else. You can seek out companionship with friends or family when you want it, and when you need it. And, if I was different in my beliefs, I could have sex when I wanted with no strings attached.
I too look at the marriages and relationships all around me and think to myself, "Why woud I ever give up being single to have a marriage like they have. I would have to be crazy!" But then I look at the marriages and I compare myself...and I know that if I ever got in a serious relationship it wouldn't be like theirs for 2 simple reasons. I think the most important one is that I know who I am. I know who and what type of person I am compatible with and I know the type of person I am, and the type of person I can be. I do agree too though, that you have to know how to love yourself, and be happy with yourself before you can expect to love someone else and make them happy.
Secondly, I like to think I'm not exactly typical when it comes to women and the female response about most things...at least, I would say, I'm less typical than most of the women I run across...and the women in the marriages that I compare myself to. And I could be totally wrong about that too. Maybe I have a jacked up sense of reality? I am not saying that I'm perfect or better. You don't even have to know me to know that would be a lie. I guess what I'm saying is that I've learned from my past experiences and the experiences of others around me. I've learned what I will accept and what I expect and for the most part I will stand up for that, as long as I feel that I deserve it. I believe that the road is a two-street, and that it does in fact go both ways.
I would give up the freedom and all of the other "single" stuff, for the butterflies, companionship, conflicts, sex and all of the other things a relationship has to offer, if I had met the right person, and he was available. I've been on both sides of the street and have tested the grass on both sides... as for the sex part, I love sex, but being who I am, and being that I connect sex emotionally, I can't and won't just have sex with anyone just to have sex. It's not good. Sex is one of the most wonderful things in the world when you actually feel for the person you're having sex with.

Whats crackin, I just stumbled upon this place. Looks pretty cool.

Yo yo yo, G!

They are referring to 'skippy the bush kangaroo'. It was an Aussie series...Guess what the theme was?:rolleyes:

Peanut butter vs. lanolin as lube?

Is there something you're trying to tell us? :-)

June Lockhart? Wasn't she Beaver Cleaver's mom?

Perhaps she is merely alluding to the fact that she's tried both home-grown and exotic? Why are you constantly thinking about sex, Maggie? :D

I liked her better as the mom in the excellent series LOST IN SPACE. Best show ever.

Barbra Billingsly...who also spoke jive to powah in Airplane.

IMDB is your friend...

Who said anything about sex? :-)

I don't think about it constantly...if I thought about it more I might do it less. I think about it efficiently.

Too many technical holes in Lost in Space...it looked so feeble next to ST:TOS.

However the second season theme music kicked ass...It kicked so much ass that Apollo 440 did a cover for the movie.

The movie was cool.

LOL...no, there wasn't anything to read between the lines on that one. Although I wouldn't mind saying that I've had my fair share of trying a lot of things...whether it's been about sex or otherwise. You can decipher it to mean whatever you want :D Home grown or exotic, it's all the same it still gets the job done.

MaggieL you're a (high)technical snob. :lol:

Single To Left Field!
 

Gosh, compaitbility is such a strange thing for me. I've found myself with very different people but was still able to be compatible; and I mean VERY different people. And it was not as if I made myself conform to them, I just figured I could never change them and them me. So why stay involved? Why call it off? Good questions. I just don't think the "perfect" woman is out there, so when I see a chance to get closer to one I've met, I give it a shot. I think most relationships have a "shelf life," much like a box of Triscuits, or a dozen eggs. It's like a bell curve diagram. They run a cycle. Knowing how and when to "move on" is the tricky part. I've had 8 committed relationships in my 43 years, and the quickest start to finish was 1 year (and that's because she died). The others ranged from 3 to 11 years.

Sex is indeed another aspect that can not be reduced to a mere physical act, at least for me. And there's probably an evolutionary reason for that. I don't know. The last girlfriend I had was from Brazil. We were together for 4 years. It was a LAT relationship (Live Apart Together). I spent lots of money on travel, but we had lots of fun (and yes, nice sex). She said that if I moved to Sao Paulo, she would still like us to have our own places, and that actually seemed reasonable. I could not move down there for financial reasons (school loans, career, etc.), so we became "just friends," which is not a bad thing. Better than angry and/or sad former "lovers." I'm not a big believer in love anyway. That sounds cold, but I'm a determinist and a materialist, so I have to be honest (at least from now on; I did say "Eu amo voce to my Brazilian girlfriend).

Thanks for chiming in, KV.

Guilty as charged. At least when TOS played fast-and-loose with physics, they invented a semi-plausible excuse. Of course, Treknology became an art-form during TNG...to the point where it became tedious:*everything* involved tachyons in some way, and any problem could be solved by varying the phase or frequency of something.
But I grew up reading Heinlein, and have just finished Varley's "Red Thunder" and "Red Lightning", worthy successors they are.

I've got good things to say about Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series, and I've already held forth in another thread about Honor Harrington.

Last night I loaded a Lighwave 3D model of Serenity into Blender...we do have fun at our house. :-)

peanut butter as lube? now theres an idea. "nutted for her pleasure"

replace lassie with a kangaroo and you have skippy

Don't use extra chunky.

That may very well be, but I didn't watch it for the techie stuff. I watched it because I was keenly interested in the Dr. Smith/Robot dynamic. I did have questions about Dr. Smith: How did someone so pathologically lazy get to become a doctor? As Dr. Smith was the cause of nearly all of the Robinson Family problems, why didn't they just let his sorry ass get eaten by a space monster? :alien: Is is conceivable that Dr. Smith was addicted to painkillers? (reference his near constant lament, "Oh! The pain! The pain!") Why was cute, spunky young Will Robinson always, always paired up with Dr. Smith? This was a recipe for disaster, yet, they always put those two together. And, who had to bail them out? Yes, the Robot! A most excellent character. He was intelligent, witty, urbane, well-mannered and kind of handsome. I think I had a crush on him. :robot:

PS I wanted to use the OTHER alien face that we have in our smilie repertroie but this one :alien: comes up instead. The OTHER alien is better suited for a monster-type alien. Not that I'm saying all aliens are monsters...

Robbie could kick the tin ass of that LIS robot!!!
