Looks like we are gonna have to swim for it.

All that water might make the bonfire a little hard to light and all. Probably have to do the S'mores the college way...in the microwave.

Now if I can just find an outlet.

Everybody always has the advantage over us, but that's what makes us special...and Browncoats.

I look at the water and keep expecting to see Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan float by on those suitcases from "Joe Versus the Volcano". What does that mean?

Probably that I need to go to bed.

PR, I have been around, it's just been awhile since I have posted. Hugs to all, and just to add to the fire in this post-political season...

(throws pile of campaign signs into the fire).

There. Now the fire will stay lit for a long time. Except now the s'mores smell funny.

*Flames go wild.*

Hot tub? Chocolate hot tub? WOW! PR, you have made some great improvements. Or have I just been non-observant?

*gets nekkid - grabs a cup to get some chocolate that is flowing into the chocolate hot tub - sinks into the regular hot tub*

wooooooo!! nekkid pyre dancing- on a beach! YAAAAAAAAAA!!!
(wow, our pyre is certainly very mobile, we seem to be able to move it anywhere!)

look at all you people lying around in the various hot tubs!
hey, would you still get all prune-y if you stayed too long in the chocolate hot tub, like what happens if you stay in water too long??

Yup yup, shinykitten, the pyre just kinda follows us
I don't know if you'd get wrinkled by the chocolate; I'm betting it would just start getting really difficult to get it off if you stayed in too long. Though we do add a little cream, just to keep it from solidifying around us

I have survived, mostly. I did end up begging to come home an hour early so I would not die on the drive. I'm hoping I'll be able to get to sleep early later, so I can function when I have to go back on Friday night.
I did fine. I didn't need any training; most of it all came back to me from when I started on days.
I am never, ever doing that again. If my boss actually insists that I do it again next month, I am going to tell her that zoning out on the road in the middle of the day is a good way to get seriously injured and I do not really want to deal with that thank you SO much.

I think we're all in a more pensive mood right now. I also think the pendulum will swing back this way. I think it all goes back to the Almond Joy vs. Mounds addage (pun intended, but by accident if that makes any sense).

Howdy all!

I've been away for a bit, and missed all of my FORSAKEN friends here, but it was worth it...

I've made my pilgrimage at last!!!

While in London we did a whirlwind tour of everything we wanted to see... the Royal Gardens at Kew, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Tower of London, the Roman ruins at Bath (where I did climb up on Salsbury Hill where I could see the city lights, but unfortunately no eagle flew out of the night), and just about every other famous place that we could think of.

We stayed near Paddington Station right next to Hyde Park and rode the Tube and double-decker busses all over the city. By the end of our trip we'd actually learned the city well enough to give directions to a few other tourists that had just arrived.

Jet lag was a bitch the first day, but we got used to it very quickly, and now we're trying desperately to get back onto EST. *yawn*

I'm back at work so I can't stay long, but I'll be back to check in soon...

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

Hello all my forsaken brethren and sistren! I got lured back to the fire by the promise of a chocolate hot-tub!

It's still there isn't it? Please tell me it hasn't congealed!

Happy Birthday Penguin! Have you seen your birthday thread?

I found a great holidays icon, for the grumpy.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my fellow Forsaken that won't get here tomorrow!

Hey, PaganPaul, we did miss you. Nice to know that you were on a great trip. We were talking about family history in one of the Imponderable threads. I mentioned that my family came from a small village between the Roman ruins of Bath and Stonehenge. Then here you post pics from my ancestoral homeland. It looks like it was a fun trip.

Hey! Look who wandered into the Forsaken thread, and he's headed for the center of the pyre.

You and I can eat the drumsticks before anyone else shows up

Luckily there are 2 drumsticks - one for you and one for me.

Yikes! What happened? I think the turkey was in the Forsake pyre too long. It seems to be possessed. PR, you grab the right wing and I'll grab the left.

I think the turkey made all the Forsaken a little sleepy. No one seems to have had the energy for nekkid dancing the last few days.

*adds a bit of fuel to the fire*

I'm feeling a bit under the weather today. Maybe the fire will heat any little bugs out of my system.

*drinks very hot tea and settles by the fire*

afternoon Forsaken.

This has got to be the longest running thread since I joined up. Huh.

I hope you all had a shiny Thanksgiving. I ate way more than I should have, though the seafood we had on Saturday for the game was superb.

It has been a slow thread indeed. Not sure why. Perhaps we lost the Forsaken edge with the approaching stress and/or religiosity?

Yeah, religiousity and stress might cause it, though it makes me want to be Forsaken even more.

CosmicFugitive told me today in chat that the site always slows down some during Nov and Dec due to the season and also to people having lots of work to get done.

I've made my pilgrimage at last!!!

While in London we did a whirlwind tour of everything we wanted to see... the Royal Gardens at Kew, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, the Tower of London, the Roman ruins at Bath (where I did climb up on Salsbury Hill where I could see the city lights, but unfortunately no eagle flew out of the night), and just about every other famous place that we could think of.

Been meaning to repost this since the computer ate my homework that night.

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!!! But good for you! I am glad you made it and had such a great time. Thank you for the pix. Keeps me going until such time as I can do the same...
