I love Maine. In the summer. I have loads of family up there. We usually go up there every year. It's my favourite state. (And I've been to all but three.)
In fact, I very nearly hit Stephen King with my car near Bar Harbor. At least, I'm 95% sure it was him. Or someone who looked EXACTLY like him. It FREAKED me out, let me tell you.
Oh, and if you want good Stephen King stories, XanderLHarris had dinner with him at her aunt's house. She's got stories!

New topic: places, If you could travel anywhere where would you go? Why? Have you been there before? If so, what happened? If not, why would you go there? Do you know people there/ Tell us about them if you dare. This is a sci fi chat room, these places, need not be real.
/lurk
How about some place on each continent? I've been to europe, mideast, and most of the US, that leaves south america, asia, australia, or antartica, unless the mideast doesn't count as africa. Its all about the journy not so much the destination.
A couple weeks ago a friend sent me ( http://www.jagszone.com/other/ode_guy.html) after having much the same discussion with a friend of mine. Particularly the definition of too nice.... thats a killer when some one tells you thats the reason they can't date you btw.

I made the mistake of putting horseradish mustard on my (veggie) hot dog. It hurts my nose to eat it. Whew!

i love horseradish but it has to be eaten in really tiny quantities on a fork, same with anything pickled, and choclate spread.
All of these fabulous destinations, i'm afraid i'm going to come off as really mundane now...
the place i love the most is the Pennines, the bar of small mountains that runs down the middle of the uk. y'see, we live on the west side of them and my grandparents on the east, so we've been driving over them eversince i was a kid, hundres of times, in all kind's of weather and every season, and come glorious blazing sunshine making every field look like its made of rippling molten emeralds, thick blanketing snow, or even fog so thick that everything close is a muted ethereal shade of blue or lavender and lorries come screaming out of it, lights blazing and so close that you thing they must be after you or something.(er, that that when i was about five)Its just a magical journey.
I think the reason i want to go there again is that i always travel that route with my family, and for once i'd like to travel it with someone who appreciates it the way i do.
Otherwise, Venice, carnivale! i've a not so secret ambition to run away to there and apprentic myself to the maskmaker and costumers there.
Trying to learn italian first though.

Italy, good call! I had a conference in Florence once, and it was the BEST week! I really need more time in Italy - food, wine, scenery, history, shopping (and I'm not a shopper, it's just that good!) ...

The horseradishy mustard made my head and sinuses hurt. It's evil and must be punished.

Ok, well, I had to fix the animation before I could bring myself to actually continue this. I had one of the little goslings going off the edge, and I just couldn't have that.
Now, as to inserting it....
Just like so. 
NOw that I'm done being a smartass, you just do it like you'd do any other link. find somewheres to host the file (imageshack, etc.) and just paste the URL to it as though you were gonna link it to someone. Voila, it just decides to show up as an image.
As for submitting it to Haken, how might I go about doing so?

I'd love to rejoin this thread. Just kind of wondering where my last post in the previous thread went. Thought I posted something there. Even thought I got e-mails saying 2 other people replied to that specific post.
Strangely enough... I find nothing. I must be having edited Deja Vu of some sort. Life and it's many mysteries.

Candid debate used to be so much fun here.
No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks.

Real world:
San Francisco, 'cause my two great loves are seafood and Star Trek. If you don't get the significance of how these three things intersect, I'm not gonna help you. Plus, San Fran has the added benefit of not being overly hot, and I have trouble taking heat (no tropical vacations for me, I'd die).
Tokyo, 'cause I'm an animé freak. This wouldn't just be a vacation, but a working trip --I wanna write for an animé series. Won't happen though until I learn some Japanese (and have at least one finished show under my belt), 'cause I don't want to come across as some wierd gaijin otaku.
Unreal world:
Deep Space Nine. No question, no hesitation. Everyone (in the shows and books, anyway) talks about how uncomfortable, dark, and ominous that station is, but I fell in love in the first episode. It's like space-gothic, all dark and melancholy and full of spines and not-quite-right angles and almost-alive curves. I've gone there so many times in my head I almost feel like I know my way around. Plus I like the Bajorans. They're good people.
With all apologies to Joss. Much as I love the Firefly 'verse, I don't think I'd wanna live there.
