I wouldn't say he was being mean per se, but I was a little upset when my unofficial-official role of lighting the next bonfire was usurped quite randomly. But there was a brief little train ride over the boiling river of blood and now we're on level seven and back around a fire eating gooey melty s'more goodness and I'm quite shiny again. So no real need for killin'.

I appreciate your defense, though. Everyone, really, was very sweet about my little freak-out. Much shininess ensues!

It's time to dance!

No, saw him last week in the 666 thread, though (not ours, the other one) I pointed and laughed because he straight up said he was gonna take Haken out to the park and whip him. Stupid troll!
Maybe I'll go throw rocks at him!

No shame! We are a forgiving bunch, after all.
It actually wouldn't have been a bad idea at the beginning, before we decided we were going through the levels and were therefore already in hell. Who decided that? I do not remember.
Anyway...

It is now early morning and my night has gone fairly well. I completed a disturbing piece of photoshop art I was trying to get done last night, so I am happy. It's starting to warm up, as the sun is rising, and soon I must go water my lawn.
On badness, I jacked up some muscles in my neck somehow and have been trying to get them to loosen up again. I miss having a man who would rub my back! (oddly enough, though, his "replacement" works almost as well as he did in this area as well!

Mmmm, ok World Cup. Right. See, not that big a deal over here. In fact, you'd be very hard pressed to find anyone who cared about soccer within 100 miles of me (or more). Now, our football on the other hand... Oh man I hate it. Of course I stay away from the sports bars so I avoid the worst of it. It fortunatelly does not spill over into the streets. Possibly because we have more space; I'm not sure.

No better place to tell Tortuga stories than in the Forsaken thread (except it takes so long to load -- eeps!).

Sometimes when I'm in the thread I can see all the rowdy business going on in Tortuga, but it's us doing the misbehaving.

And our two Black Pearl heroes are walking through it.

Go, Captain Jack! Go, Will!

And here come the BDH, right into the mix...a Captain and crew to match anything the Bruckheimer bunch have to show us.

sips on the Whisky, mighty fine burn it has to!!! Very true, ain't nothing like our Two Capts and the Rowdy crews to bring a smile to ones heart and a little rougish glint in the eye.

All right, then in Nagasaki there used to be a night club/ bar called Step Above, its gone out of business now --- diff story for diff time. Anyways depends on the night sometimes dead and sometimes hoppen till 6-7am. Interesting mix of People.... The owner and some of the staff were from Nigeria, a couple of the bar tenders were Japanese, + local DJ's, Had Russian ecort ladies in after their sifts 4am +, Two Jewish ladies that would be over there + all other manner of Ex-pats. So made for some interesting times. So between this place and another bar called Alberts, was the local hot spot for all the foreigners to hang out in Nagasaki. So had fun time trying to converse w/ a couple of the Russian ladies since they couldn't speak English, I didn't speak Russian, so only language was Japanese and a bit hard to understand them lol. Well enjoy ladies and Gents. Duck back in, in a little bit. Keep the party going.

Hey FloralBunny
Yeah, Kinda a interesting crowd to say the least !!! Will have to tell ya about Shienbashi, the reg night life section of Nagasaki sometime. If you think thats something, got a nice description of that for ya. Hamanomachi is the major shopping area street in Nagasaki, right next to it on the R side is, China Town, a couple streets up where the bar used to be, and then Shienbashi starts from kinda the street the bar/ night club was on going for about 4 maybe 5 streets up. Which all of this is probably nothing compared to the stuff in Sasebo, which is maybe 40 mints away still in Nagasaki Prefecture and where the U.S. Naval base is. Never managed to visit Sasebo area though. Thanks for the peppermint schnapps, hits the spot !!! Like I said, I tend to be a bit of a Wild Child

But Naw, most part its safe, if a bit on the wild side. Well enjoy the sleep and I will regale ya with more tales in a while.

Happy Birthday CP.

If anyone's feeling a little cold around here:

HELL EXPLAINED BY CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God, Oh my God”

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY “ A”

Oh and if anyone likes the idea of taking a holiday on a house boat:
