Hey people and people'ets
How are y'all on this fantastically sunny day?

ROTFL! You should have picked the rock gardens, BK! :D

Hey Downunda! It's not too sunny here just now, but that might be because it's almost 11pm! LOL!

Just having a snack and getting set to toddle off to bed. My office has been crazy and my co-worker crazier.. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Need to be awake to put out the brush fires! :D

<font color = lightgreen> [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] We did that some years ago for some skills. Languages were simple: French = Elvish, German = Dwarvish, etc. You had to learn some basid phrases in those languages before your character could speak it. The fighters had to research medeival weapons and armor, etc.
It sounds wierd; however, it is a great way to insure that not only do your players take their role-playing seriously but that they learn something, as well.

Azred takes a sip from a strong, dark Turkish coffee.

Cloudbringer, could I request to become coffee-brewer for the Cafe? I'll bring in all kinds of gourmet blends from the far reaches of the globe and set up "flavors of the week".</font>

Epona 05-08-2002 06:52 AM

I have one hell of a hangover [img]graemlins/crying.gif[/img]
3 beers yesterday lunchtime, afternoon in a meeting, then another 6 beers after, and off to a friend's house where I had a bottle of white wine and 2 large Tia Maria/Malibu concoctions - then a coffee which was at least 1/4 Tia Maria. Then I staggered home and came online. Was amazed to see that my posts last night were coherent and typed correctly.

I feel ill :( Please talk quietly :(

Epona 05-08-2002 06:56 AM

And my ankle hurts like HELL! I don't recall doing anything to it last night, must have though.

Downunda 05-08-2002 07:09 AM

I've had nites like that; They're the ones that make you say "I'm never drinking again!" This lasts 'til the hangover wears off. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Lord Shield 05-08-2002 07:11 AM

Downunda, I have to say I've never told myself I'll never drink again. I know I'll be at it again soon - tomorrow night if I'm lucky! :D The hangover sucks, but I do enjoy my beer. I usually give myself a day to recover after a binge before starting again.

Lady Blue03 05-08-2002 07:21 AM

<font color="pink">Morning early morning, every one! Glorfy! I missed you again! Well at least ur email got through, right after i left! *sigh* impossible! But i luv ya :D !

Downunda 05-08-2002 07:27 AM

You must be one tough lady Epona (no offence ;) )
There would've been a period of about six months, just after I turned Nineteen, where I would go into town on a Saturday nite, get sh!tfaced, wake up at 1pm on Sunday and swear off alcohol forever. :D

Never lasted more than 24 hours though

Yep, I'm heading out for my egg & chips right now!

Cloudbringer 05-08-2002 09:14 AM

Azred, flavor of the week huh? LOL why not? :D I'm not a coffee drinker, myself but lots of folk here are...hmm..well, at the moment, Epona appears to NEED some... ;) Hope you feel better, soon Epona! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Am at work, it's cold today, but sunny! My boss is working on a project that has all her attention, her boss is in and out of the office, my co-worker is running around like a chicken on drugs and I'm plugging away at a long term project full of spreadsheets.

Tiamat 05-08-2002 10:06 AM

Epona....... you have an iron liver....... but dont ever go over 47 beers....... my end in last life....... It wasnt fun. Its early here!

Ar-Cunin 05-08-2002 10:40 AM

47 beers?

try 12 cups of coffee [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/greenbounce.gif[/img]

Cloudbringer 05-08-2002 11:18 AM

Tiamat! That's a lot of beer! [img]tongue.gif[/img] Now tell me truly, you drink Pepsi or something, right? ;) I prefer diet Coke, myself!

Not that I don't drink alcohol but 47 of anything is gonna make you sick! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Bahamut 05-08-2002 11:42 AM

Hi guys!

Are you sure you didn't choke on 47 cans of spam instead?

Cloudbringer 05-08-2002 11:48 AM

Hi Bahamut! I never played diablo2 but everyone seems to think it's hard! LadyZekke is playing it too, I think.

Guess I'll have to ask Nachty to let me see what it looks like. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Cloudbringer 05-08-2002 11:54 AM

Anyone else notice Memnoch is up WAAAAAAAAAAAY past his Aussie bedtime? ;) TEEHEE

Cloudbringer 05-08-2002 11:58 AM

I am off to lunch, catch you all later this evening.

Started a new Cafe, as it will need it in about 10 posts or so. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ahh... the joys of hell. Fighting fire enchanted, cold enchanted, immune to physical, stone skin, extra strong, extra fast, aura enchanted, monsters is almost as fun as pulling out all of your teeth. Have fun playing through on single player! ;)

Hey today we were having an interesting in English today. What is your purpose? You just can't ask that an instantly expect an answer! It's something that just comes to you right? Can you just suddenly decide what your purpose is? Obviously I couldn't. I have no purpose... [img]tongue.gif[/img]

<font color = lightgreen>Ok! [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] Coffee-slinger it is.

[img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img] Would anyone happen to know the etymology of "ok"?

I would suggest either water or tea for a hangover; coffee as a "remedy" is suggested only through movies and/or tv.

At least you are still working, Cloudbringer. Some people here got <font color = pink>pink slips</font> yesterday. Fortunately, I was not one of those--it helps to be the best in your section like I am. (that is not bragging--it is a statement of fact [img]graemlins/petard.gif[/img] )</font>

Talthyr Malkaviel 05-08-2002 02:40 PM

Bungee jumping eh, LS?? I hope it works... I have three tomorrow :(
Oh well.
Hey BK, maybe you should have asked that DM if you could choose to be a shrubber, or to cut down the greatest tree in the forest, with.... a herring!!
Epona?? Hungover??? [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] [img]tongue.gif[/img]
The great thing is that however bad the hangover we humans always seem to recover in perfect time to go down the pub again...

<font color=silver>OK - abbreviated version of 'okay':</font>

<font color=turquoise>Meaning
Satisfactory - all correct.

Origin
Possibly the most researched phrase of them all, but with no clear evidence as to the origin. The contenders are:</font>
</font>
  • <font color=turquoise>A shortened version of 'Oll Korrect'. Used by President Andrew Jackson. </font> </font>
  • <font color=turquoise>'Old Kinderhook' - nickname of President Martin van Buren. </font> </font>
  • <font color=turquoise>'Aux quais' - the mark put on bales of cotton in Mississippi river ports.</font>
    </font>
  • <font color=turquoise>'0 killed' - the report of the night's death toll during the First World War.</font>
    </font>
  • <font color=turquoise>'Orl Korrect' - military reporting indicating troops were in good order.</font> </font>
