You will have to excuse me, Mission, as i really have been out of the TV loop for about 9 years (see earlier post). But I can't help but wonder, what shows have been on TV since 2000 that you think are good? No really, this is not meant as a slam or nuthin', but I am curious what you like. Personally, Medical shows bore me, I never was (or will be) a Trekkie as i never really "got" star trek nor cared about any of its iterations. Cop shows are the same thing over and over (to me) and Reality TV is a show about people that I could care less about (so, I care less)..... 24 was interesting. It was a roller coaster ride, but season one was enough and I never looked back…

I have always like the southern bell accent from LA or AL area. Lately I have been leaning to the French accent. What about the rest of you all?

Every so often I will change the first and last words, but until I do you have to make a new sentence with the same first and last words. You can reverse the order of the first and last words so long as you have the same words at either the start or end of your sentence. Jelly fish and crustacians were all that I found scattered on the hot sand.

Sometimes we have bad days, weeks, or longer. Mayhaps we celebrate or suffer things alone. I call many here friend, and would like to think I can offer them some solace or support. So, I humbly offer this thread as a place to post dedications to those who may need it. Despite the bravado, posturing and brave faces shown here, life can be taxing. I dedicate this first post to everyone here... "Life is Beautiful" by Vega4

I'm curious, who here smokes and what? I smoke all natural sun dried American tobacco in a brier wood pipe and I also smoke, on special occasions, Grenadier cigars. The pipe I started smoking because of my grandpa, the cigars I started smoking because of my brother. Also I found out General Patton smoked the same type of cigar so that made me like them a little more. Once I smoke the cigar down enough, I split it open and smoke the remaining tobacco through my pipe. I tried cigarettes, I didn't really care for them. When I did try them I smoked "Capri"(something my brother smokes) and I tried Marlboro due to my uncle. Neither of them compare to the pipe or the cigar. I a…

Ok, first off (and I expect I'll wind up repeating this) I'm not talking about your fantasy about 69 virgins and 3 slim llamas. Please save that nonsensical guff for The Way to a Pyrate's Heart forum. I'm asking what you do when you've a skinfull of the stuff. Are you playful? Belligerent? Coy? Dippy? Obnoxious? Dancing on the tables? I was dining with friends this eve and watching a couple sink slowly into intoxication. At the start of the dinner, She had a scarf on and her arms literally in front of her and He looked distracted and worried about something. By the end of the dinner, Her hair was down, the scarf off and the elbows were splayed on the table while He gaz…

No, I don't feel that way... But apparently the NPS does (National Park Service). Saw this posted on Frontier folk and though it might be worth sharing here for discussion as well. This policy has always been in place (well at least for longer than I have been re-enacting), but this is the first time that policy has gone from just being there (and inconvenient) to a publicized item of negative propaganda. I've long been wary of the NPS and have generally avoided having anything to do with them, but this video has made the line in the sand a down right battle line for me.

Ok, there is no 'right' answer to this question, and I'm not doing a survey, it's just idle curiosity, as I said. What does the year 1916 signify to you? I'll explain why I'm asking later.

Ahoy Mates, After a short (ok it was sort of long) hiatus due to the birth of our first little crew member we are back and ready to do some honest Piratin'. First thing's first we must get our ship sea-worthy. I don't believe I've mentioned this yet on these boards but for the past 2 years we've been remodeling out not-so-finished basement into a Pirate-themed living area and bar. The project was tentatively "completed" last year. I say tentatively because last week while sitting around the bar (which I was less then happy with) a crewman mentioned an idea he had for building a better bar. One more suited towards true pirate bashes. A few (camera phone) pics so yo…

I know some of ya are groaning and wondering why again... I'm sure many of us as bitched about how high they are. Why does this have anything to do with piracy?

I"m coming out of the pink closet.. I have Breast Cancer, ironically. I had a positive hit on my mamogram and will have to have a lumpectomy on my left breast in June, then radiation, no chemo as of yet. I have an MRI today to see if everything got caught already. Then surgery June 10-12 and radiation after.. I have 6 weeks left of FMLA and my insurance changes to crappy stuff at work May 31. My ex is letting me stay in the house longer, but after that, not sure what will happen. I might not have a job, a home, money, a breast, or insurance. Its in very early stages, (stage 0), and its micro calcifications, so its very common. One of my friends has it, and will be my…

Yep, so there I was, casually strolling through the gaming aisle, when the 4th edition D&D books caught my eye. Having no intention of buying said books (I own at least three other prior editions), I assumed I was safe in picking one up and flipping through it. Here we are, three weeks later, and I've dropped at least $100 on new stuff! My group has played once. In between, I've played a bunch of solo encounters to familiarize myself with the rules. And... I think this is my favorite edition!!! :angry: Anyone else out there caught the 4e bug?

My brain never seems to relax. This morning I woke up after a busy night of dreaming and the last one left my heart beating and I kind of feel anguish. In the dream, I couldn't believe what was happening and I want to resolve it still, even though I know it was a dream. Does anyone out there dream?

I just found out a buddy of mine just had a suicide car blown up right next to his troup carrier in Iraq. His is alive and well with only minor wounds but lost alot of blood due to shrapnel, luckily he was driving and the car blew on the passenger side. The passenger in the main cab died. So I would like to raise a tall ale for the boys that are over there and one for those who won't be home.

Ok, we laugh out loud sometimes to the puns we see posted on people's chests. Here's a place for us to share these amusing quips... My younger sister is very shapely and when we were young I remember she wore a button that said "Quit staring at my chest" Faire Pins I love: (I'll share mine if you share yours) "What color are my eyes?"

A friend of mine just sent this to me. I'm not one to forward stuff along, but I really like this plan!!! The Birk Economic Recovery PLan Hi Pals, I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG. Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend. To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+. Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up.. So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00. My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend. Of co…

The rules: You post three statements (or longer anecdotes; that can be more fun sometimes) about yourself, two of which are true. People guess which. After folks have been guessing for a while, you reveal it and we see who was right and who was wrong. Then somebody else does one. (And there's no reason not to have several going at once...) Okay, my three... I was in an apple commercial. I buried a body in Mexico. I was in a street riot in Jerusalem.
