Thank you for the welcome. I am well experienced in chaos, I work in aviation. Those black boxes don't fix themselves you know.
indeed Manwolf, forgive my rudeness in not welcoming you sooner.
Please observe the all important rules of the thread, such as no discussion of politics, religion, or sports, and being naked if you are the first post in the thread.
Snacks are available at the concession stand.
No smoking is allowed in the thread itself.
Please do not block the doorways or exits.
May you enjoy many boobs to the head while you are here.
We thank you for choosing FAWTL.
Thank you, I wander hither and yon thru the forests of the forums, popping in to see what is interesting and perhaps interject an interesting or useless comment.
I don't discuss politics, I think it's worse than poking into the Rules Questions threads (however I still do that, but mostly just watch from behind large trees, where it's safer). Religion I think shouldn't matter, that's a personal choice, so whatever floats your boat is fine with me. Sports is only a sporadic interest, no fanaticism there for me. Wow, I'm really boring. I didn't notice that it had become that bad :-P
Since you already mentioned it, I'm all for nudity, a staunch proponent for it in fact, and will gladly take a boob to the head for my fellow pathfinders.
I promise to stand near, but not immediately in front of, any useful exit, just in case things get hairy. Well hairier than usual. It's a full moon tonight isn't it? Uh, oh. Where's that exit again?
Just so you know, Manwolf, the ban on sports discussion does not include games popular on the wrong side of the Atlantic, such as Murglethigh, Off-Dirt Horse Gauchle, Westmoreland Crab Hinting (Amalgamated and Confederated rules) and Blarking the Synge.
Um... OK, no problem. I'll add those to the "do not mention, under ANY circumstances, and we really, really mean it this time" file.

To sum up the drought at our house, I have a friggin brick in my toilets
Oh god is that what the future holds, everyone has a s#+! covered brick in their toilets!
That needs to be the cautionary tale of climate change, not the sea will rise by 2030 or we could hypothetically have a new ice age in 20 years.
"If you don't change your habits, you too will have a s!$& covered brick in your toilet"
*shudder* works for me, I'm scared!!

LOL. This pretty much sums up for me the difference between people who've lived in California all their lives, and those who haven't.
The brick goes in the TANK, not in the bowl, so that each flush uses a bit less water. You're supposed to throw in bricks until the toilet is barely capable of doing its job. (Many businesses seem to add one more brick after that, just for fun...)
And California is the home of such wonderful ditties as:
If it's yellow, let it mellow.
If it's brown, flush it down.
Yep. Just leaving that out there for all to savor...

Yeah, i got curious and did some mental measuring, a brick in the bowl wouldn't work (tho A Brick in the Bowl would make a kick ass album name, you can have that one David:-D)
But we've lived thru our fair share of droughts, nothing like you guys right now, still in like 89 or so we had one so bad in September the corn was only knee high (and i'm short and was only 12-13 so thats some short ass corn for September:-)
I remember because my brothers were shooting a crappy horror movie and had this vision of kids running blindly thru the corn while my brother with a deer horn hand and super old dracula mask my dad bought in the early 70s stalked us, needless to say with the corn so short it turned out to be a hilariously anticlimactic scene:-D
That also marked the beginning and end of my cinematic career, despite my brother's repeated attempts to get me to play Jesus in numerous YouTube shorts:-)

I ended with alliance and royal marriage with Sweden.
When Jogaila Jagiellon, son of Sigismund Jagiellon reached adulthood gaining his crown from Regency Council I got a pop-up warning that because we do not have a heir yet (hey, he's fifteen!), in case of his premature death crown will pass to Sweden and the civil war might occur.
*sigh*
Thankfully we have a new heir, Sigismund August, whose claims to the crown are better than the Swedish heir to their. And with neat attributes too. I need every point I can get to develop my military and administrative tech faster than everyone else around.

*sigh*
*grumble-grumble* Stupid Scandinavians getting involved in costly and prolonged wars over some unimportant patch of land half the continent away from me tangling me in costly war in which I don't get anything besides keeping an alliance... Did I called them to join me every time I went to war? No, I dealt with my conquest myself... And to add insult to the injury they are allied with Nizhny Novogorod that is separating some of my post-Muscovy provinces from my mainland preventing me from forming the crucial land bridge to Ladoga.
*sigh*
Why all my neighbors have to be in alliance with ridiculously big countries that are too big to properly subdue in a quick war, thus preventing easy treaty?

The kids are at the grandparents for the night, as in both of them! For the first time in forever, also the car isn't working so work is out, gee I wonder what two young hot people could possibly do, all alone, without the kids ;-p
Maybe we'll play Parcheesi, watch some Alf and Golden Girls and turn in early.
Or not :-)

Joint manoeuvres with the PFPL turned out to be reasonably successful.
Having said that, women being women, I have now been ordered to:
1) Get an eye test
2) Get a hearing test
3) See a doctor about my neck
4) Stop describing myself as 5' 11" when I'm not (I bloody am. Or I was, and I can't have shrunk)
5) Buy some new, PFPL approved underpants
6) Get a new mattress
7) Learn to wash up properly
8) Read and inwardly digest the other two volumes of '50 Shades' even though she admits that it's a pile of old s**t.
There will be more, I don't doubt. What we put up with for [redacted], I ask you.

It did turn out well, very well indeed ;-D
We live in Madison, Wi in the U.S. it's a fairly inebriated college town, we live close to downtown, but not so close that the kids throw up in our lawn, tho surprisingly the other morning found one half passed out singing in my yard, at like 5 in the morning:-)
Two kids,
19 months is a fun age:-)

The fact that (number 8 excepted) I should be doing all those things is completely behind the point, of course ;)

To clairify, I do have it in the tank. Also a big thank you to NH for that lovely little ditty, no doubt I will be singing that all day while tearing out the rest of my way dead front lawn.

Who was Savras?
God of prophecy, divination, diviners, an ascended diviner himself as far as I could find vague information about him, and for a time spirit bound within an artifact by Azuth, his rival wizard, rival god of wizards, and a rival for the favors of the goddess of magic.
