that's better. the virtual coat looks great on you.



I've been sayin' that all year...I think the young party crowd has mostly moved on to twitter and my facey-spacey-pages... We're doin good to welcome people and hold basic conversations lately. (always does get a little slow during summer anyhow)

I feel unqualified ta hand out virtual browncoats since I didn't know anything about FF until the movie came out...I missed the main battle...
I just keep the chat rooms warm and stocked these days...I'm good at babbling

You surely aren't talking about me. I may have a few years on, even be chronologically challenged, but I'm about as mature as Hoban Washburne. "I won't grow up, I won't grow up, I refuse to go to school--"

Pistols at 10 paces? Best 2 falls out of 3? Swords at dawn-- no, not that one, I'll still be in bed at 10:00. You can show up then if you want.

A mere schmear strawberry? Where indeed is the traditional jug of Mudder's Milk we've offered on the ramp to professing newcomers? And the invitation to visit the locker wherein the virtual browncoats are kept? And directions to the shimmerwine fountain at the aft end of the galley buffet? I'll admit the best thing to dip in the hot cheese is your fingers but best be sure nobody's observing you when you make the attempt.
Welcome, bufo. There's still a fair amount of play left here, though the lama-shaving parties have trailed off and we haven't had a hodgeberry stomping in a couple of years.

Hey , I didn't wanta shove all the goodies on her myself. Thought I'd give the other guys a chance to be second best. And look at my rival over there, all he offered her was an EMPTY CARGO BAY. The full and complete welcome -- hey, man, that's not my job! Besides which, nobody ever gave me a key to the coat locker, and Jayne was too busy to blast it open.

Oops. Not meaning to offend anyone by making sure the full sign-on bonus was offered to our new (#46261 already!!) crew-member.

FollowMal has the key to the coat locker but I jimmied the door, as she is often away on other missions.

Not covered (my bad) was the warning about something being under the buffet table at the shimmerwine end. Don't let your feet get too far under, and for Joss' sake don't lift the tablecloth. There have been Incidents.

And nobody has mentioned the ice-planets in the bottom rack of the cooler. Full range of flavors this week, but the Borosian Ginger Blossom is going fast, so grab one if it's your favorite.

What's better than an empty cargo bay if one has lots of cargo to bring aboard? My latest raid (scuse it - - mission) has brought back a brand new ice-machine, several punnets of berries, ammo for all the weapons except Vera, and a lot of the stuff on the refrigerator list. Just help me to finish unloading the stuff.

Just teasin', FB...

as I know you were.

If I'da wanted to hog all the fun, I'd have shown her the fresh bao ,and wife soup, then taken her down to the EMPTY CARGO BAY for some target practise, and to let her watch me lift weights... or at least balcony seats to the hoopball tournament.

Well, bufo, I see the welcoming committee has sent out the word.
If you join in the target practice in the NOT EMPTY cargo bay (hmph!) be sure to pick up your brass. It tends to roll around and go down through the grill, causing no end of problems.

wife soup ran out over the weekend, so we have to find a wife who knows the recipe.
