Over 24 hours since posting in The OffTopic World thread and no character's been created for me yet!
I think he forgot!
Doesn't that mean I win and get to rule the universe?
I think he needs some sleep. And Captain Yesterday, you forgot your pants.

He did, but he never did follow up. I'm hoping he forgot me. Unless a certain kitty just spoiled my fun...

Review to follow at some point over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Was thinking the same thing...
Just have to do a bit of digging to see if any of my usual booze vendors carry the stuff or if I have to turn to the inter-nets to get my claws on any.Though, if everything fails, I'll just go for some "local" mead ^^
Do you have a local Polish/other Eastern European convenience store? That's where I got mine.
Failing that, borrow one of the horses and gallop over the Baltic.

These people that embezzle to live the high life got it all wrong (obviously).
What you do is you scrimp on one income for 14 years and then introduce another full time income into the mix and voila, good times!
And the best part, it's not illegal so no charade to maintain.
In case you can't tell there's been a rash of embezzlement busts in our area.

Hmmm... may be a Pacific thing. We use "starkers" all the time.
I've never heard the term "starkers" in and of itself. "Stark naked", yes. "Stark raving mad", sure. Of course I've heard that one, and probably more often than statistical probability would indicate. I'm not entirely sure why. But "starkers", while it makes sense, is not one I've ran across until now.

Yeah; we haven't exactly been "struggling" since I moved into tech, but we didn't get to, "Wow! We can spend money on a whim instead of planning every single expense!" until NobodysWife got her "real" job a couple of years ago.
The good news: It's going to be in the mid-60s all weekend here.
The bad news: We're going to be in Anaheim, where it's supposed be in the 80s and 90s all weekend.

Yep, that's where we are now, Tiny T-Rex asked if we could get a second PS 4 controller and I started trying to figure when we could afford it and I realized we can get it any time. :-)

You ever talk to a kid about a book and then feel reeeeeally bad for them?
** spoiler omitted **
I feel that way anytime a kid tells me they're having to read Melville. Any of his work. I also feel bad for the teacher slogging through Melville. There's a reason my mother basically "covered" Melville by assigning Bartleby, the Scrivener, discussed it during one class session, and then moved on to other authors. "Yes, he also wrote Moby Dick and if you want to read that on your own time, you go right ahead."

My mother's classes for juniors and seniors were American Literature for the juniors and English Literature for the seniors. The first half of American Lit...IE the entire first semester...my mother was just constantly going "You need to know this stuff so you can knowingly avoid it in the future, because most of the writing in the early American authors was just bad. There's certain things that you do need to know because it comes up throughout literature and history to the current times, but really, most of this stuff is just painful to read."
