Congrats, Demon, that sounds awesome. Good luck!

That stuff looks…intriguing…I have old Model M keyboards, so they can take some work getting clean. This might be a good thing for me.

5083

I seem to recall you can just pop your keyboard into the dishwasher. You have to put it up to dry for a few weeks, so this necessitates having more than one keyboard and using them in rotation, but your keyboard gets clean.

Yeah, I’ve never tried this.

I have a mixed reaction to Lily Cole, but this is a fine blog title indeed which validates her existence.

[edit]Oh, some NSFW pics farther down that page.

Took my kids and family to a stocked trout farm in Cummings, GA and wow, the kids just had a blast. Extremely well run operation and a great way to get kids interested in fishing without immediately getting bored because there’s nothing biting within 2 seconds. AND they got to see the fish cleaned on site which was an interesting way to learn where food comes…as my youngest son said, “Wow, that was gross. But cool.”

So, my roommate… (Who used to be the guitarist in my 2 man band) is currently playing the songs that we did together and attempting to sing them. (he has been doing this for like a whole year) he seems to be more brazen with it lately.

He is completely tone deaf when it comes to singing. I cannot wait till he asks me what I think. Even though I specifically asked him not to sing the songs we did together when he wanted to “go solo” he still does anyway. I guess he cannot think of any more songs.

He did write the lyrics, though he and I worked together to fix them so someone could actually sing them. (and they still kinda stink a bit) The best part is the pale imitation of my style he is trying to pull off.

Ugg. Depressing and annoying.

Thanks guys! I’m really excited about the apartment. Taking a few guys to see it later this week, and hopefully signing the lease within the next week.

So you’re the Hedwig to his Tommy Gnosis?

I saw a girl on a bike get run over by a car today. It was very low speed so she got off with a few minor scrapes and a bent front wheel. As per usual, everone just stood around in the middle of the street looking befuddled, so krise madsen: action hero sprung into action and herded everone onto the sidewalk before some idiot driver turned a minor accident into a fatal tragedy. Then I slapped a band-aid on the girl and helped put her wrecked bike in the car (the middle-aged woman who drove the car was nice enough to take her bike to the shop and drive the girl to her destination).

Unfortunately, I didn’t get the girls number, she was kinda cute.

It’s like a slightly lame, real-life version of Der Kreiger und die Kaiserin!

Next scene, she’ll swoop in with a pen when you’ve forgotten yours the next time you are at the bank.

I’d like to apologize for any personal stories or drunken posts that have offended anyone here in the last 6 months or so. I think I’m going to take a little break from QT3 for a while, I seem to have offended a lot of people and stepped on some toes. There have been a lot of jabs lately at me. I meant no harm, they were just ramblings. I hope I didn’t come off as disrespectful, especially towards women, because that’s the furthest thing from the truth.

This isn’t some kind of “I quit” drama, I’m just going to take a little break and let energies be directed elsewhere. There won’t be any personal stories anymore, I’ll be certain to be more careful and disengaged when I return.

Tom, you can give my podcast topic to someone else if anyone expressed interest in it (I doubt so for that game :).

Well, she was also about half my age, so any notion of romance beyond lame humour would be a bit icky. Well, for her at least.

5093

ElG, you’re a valuable contributor. You’ve just fallen into the schtick of posting about your conquests too often. You were much cooler when X-Com AAR reports were your thing.

5094

The police just pounded on my front door saying that there was a 911 call which got cut off that came from the area and wanted to know if I had heard or seen anything out of the ordinary. They were canvassing the neighborhood trying to track it down.

Sucky.

5095

Sounds delicious. Do you have the recipe?

Pigs in a Blanket are back on page 34.

Is the blanket covered in dead hooker blood? Because that’s my favourite.

I must have missed something because the only posts like that I can recall recently were in the “I’m Drunk” thread. If people are offended by what gets posted in there, well, they are the ones with the problem, not you.

I think I’m going to take a little break from QT3 for a while, I seem to have offended a lot of people and stepped on some toes.

Don’t do it man! Seriously, if people are really slinging sharp words at you they are the wrong ones, not you. It would really suck if you left, even if it’s just a short break.

Please reconsider.

5099

ElGuapo, the problem is them, not you.

Never thought I’d type this, but “What Rimbo said.”

Stick around, ElG. Don’t let a few uptight no-funs ruin it for you and the rest of us.

Those of us who remember the Meat Shield know you deserve every conquest. Stay, share, and ignore those who’d poke at you.
