Wait. (5,059 new). Really? How is that even possible??
Well, the truth is that it isn't normally possible. FAWTL scientists have been working diligently in a hidden Himilayan laboratory to perfect a way to instantly increase the number of posts on any messageboard through the clever application of chronal energies, Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, and a six pack of beer.

Edit: You know, this really doesn't deserve to be in my previous post.
My paper had only a short blurb on this.

So here's a fun little habit you might want to lose before becoming a Religion professor at a non-sectarian, public institution of higher learning.

It just goes to show, the world would be a much better place if everyone took the lessons taught by those emminent sages, The Three Stooges, to heart.

It was actually in response to something you posted. It's an "old" (Depression era) family story.
My great uncle is Ralph Geier. My grandfather was Fred Geier. I think (can't remember) that Ed was also a great uncle. Anyway, Ralph is the storyteller. They were moving a bull, and it was ornery. So someone (I'm betting Ralph) said they should tie a rope around his balls, then to his nose ring. Then if he started shaking his head, he'd feel pain.
So they were walking along, and the bull was getting more and more antsy. Eventually he broke into a run, and that bull became a steer.
Then my uncle Karl posted the story on Wikipedia and several other sites in an attempt to prove that they have no quality control. It lasted a few weeks on Wikipedia.

We just checked into our motel in Flagstaff and it's not worth what we're paying for it :(
Cleaner than the one in St. Louis, though. (Seeing SP and Treppa made up for the skeevy hotel.)
Probably. It's relatively close to the Grand Canyon, so if you went there, you might have stopped in Flagstaff.
This reminds me of a running... observation... my partner and I have about German tourists. (It's more complimentary than disparaging, trust me.)
Oh, and 995 posts left to catch up on (the 24th of July). And! Soon I'll be to where I started reading again.

Sorry to keep posting about the attacks in Norway, but they take up a fairly large majority of my thoughts right now.
Here's British journalist Andrew J Boyle's translation of the (in my opinion very good) speech made by prime minister Jens Stoltenberg at the memorial service today:
Quote:...It will soon be two days since we suffered the worst crime committed in our land since the war. On Utøya and in Oslo. It feels like an eternity. They have been hours, days, nights filled with shock , despair, anger, and tears.
Today the time has come for mourning. Today we must allow ourselves to take account. To remember the dead. To mourn those who are no longer with us. Ninety-two lives have been lost, several people are still missing. Each and every life that has been lost is a tragedy. And together the number of people killed amounts to a national tragedy.
We are still struggling to get to grips with the dimension of what has happened. Many of us know people that have been killed. And many more have second hand acquaintance with someone that was killed.
I knew several of them. One of them was Monica. She worked at the Utøya camp for more than 20 years. For many of us Monica was Utøya. Now she is dead, shot and killed while creating safe and pleasant acitivities for young people from all over the country. Her husband Jon, and daughters Viktoria and Helene, are attending a service in Drammen Church today. It is so unjust! It is important that you know that we are weeping with you.
Another who is gone is Tore Eikeland, leader of the Labour youth league (AUF) Hordaland and one of our most talented young politicians. I remember when he managed to get the whole Party Congress to break out in applause when he held an impassioned speech about postal policy in Europe. Now he has gone. Gone for always. It is quite simply impossible to grasp.
These are just two of those we have lost. Many more lost their lives on Utøya and in the government buildings. Soon we will have the names of all those who died and see
What? No, just allergies.

I love SMITING things. :)Lindisty wrote:Cool! Are you playing an AP?Gaming has been awesome, if less frequent than I'd like.

Other than that, life is life, and a little more roller-coastery than usual lately.
I love smiting things too! Also, CRITICAL HITS. But not with those boring 18-20/x2 weapons.
Wait a second. I don't have a paladin alias! Soon to be fixed.
Edit: Fixed!
