Quote:Indeed! I can't recall where (I read too many books) but I recently read a plausible suggestion that civilization developed because of beer... (Somebody less forgetful remember it for me? It was a 2003ish-published history of beer and drinking in Western civilization.)

I, too, enjoy thinking about beer. It has a wonderful history that follows step for step the ascent of human Civilization. Really really.
Quote:Sounds good to me! One of my fondest fantasies is buying my own canal boat (I think y'all can guess the name: eight letters, starts with an S), not least because the canal life affords plentiful opportunities to sample great pubs. If there was a canalside browncoat haunt, so much the better!
I fancy a pub shingle with a stylized Tree of Knowledge, Adam and Eve sharing an apple at its base, while The Serpent (affectionately known to pub regulars as 'Malicious') curls in a limb above... I'm even amenable to the notion that the Tree has a treehouse in it, with most of its patrons camped on its sagging roof. How's that for symbolism?

So I'm in the liquor store, minding me own business, when I find myself mysteriously compelled to purchase a 4-pack of Boddingtons.
Some tickling in my subconscious whispered to me, "This is good stuff."
Well! I get home and - acting on a hunch - re-read this FFF thread. Sure enough, there it is, on this thread, a SHAMELESS promotion of Boddingtons!
No wonder I've been thirsting for a good brew!
Here I was, minding my own conversations with Mal... doing my virtual bellydancing, eating my virtual tiramisu...and I picked up your subliminal signals to GET ME SOME BEER.
Thank you. Really. Thank you.
Soon as I finish class tonight, I'm going to pour me out one of those bad boys and let you know what I think of it :-)
Carry on.

After moving into the comfy cushion corner with BethyB, I have now finished my first knitting project! It's another hammock, beware mind, it may not be terribly strong, so I recommend not putting too far off the ground, and maybe just for someone light.
And now I'm thinking of making a huge patchwork quilt, wiht lots of Firefly pics, that we can all share and sleep under. Don't spill beer though!

Then...if California is far, I suppose that you'd probably think London is also far.
Sami now has her heart set on us going to the Serenity Convention in England, end of April.
We're lookin' into it.
Does it seem that we must be pretty hardcore to consider flyin' to another Continent to see Captain Tightpants & Co.?
Suze,
Now THAT doesn't seem too farfetched to me. I'd DO it, I just can't afford it!

PsychicRiver,
Thank you very much for the extra hammock. We have so many more people here, that I think that we might need a few more. The quilt sounds like a great idea.

No, not indiscriminantly at all. It was, in fact, carefully aimed. I was waving it at Ebo.
* With a smile, The Real Me helps Mal-licious into her hammock, gives her a drink with a pretty little umbrella, and sets her hammock swaying. *
Oh, you mean THIS hand?
* After Mal-licious' burning gaze, The Real Me waves his green hand at her. *

Quote:Excellent, hope it slips down a treat. Don't hold the can too much or it might turn yellow... or is it only clutching M&Ms that turns one's hand green?

And don't mix Boddies with tiramisu -- way too much cream for one meal.(Boddies is in yellow cans in the U.S., right? Otherwise, that made no sense.)

*Ebo un-faints*
Is it christmas?
Oh hey! A green hand and it belongs to ME!
Ebo waves back.
And yeah, Timasui (or whatever the hell its caled). No idea what it is, although if its' edible it can't be half bad...
There was a link about it up there in the limbs somewhere...I didn't actually read about it but I looked at the picture.
It looks sort of like a pancake.

Four out of five dentists reccomend calling Ebo a girl.
