Title: A round of hearty handshakes are in order
Post by: Cyberus on November 20, 2004, 11:38:34 PM
I would've suggested a group hug, but it might scare the homophobes away, or result in me being labelled a 'liberal' :-)

So for no particular reason, other than I'm in a good mood and this place is 'my favourite waste of time'
:knuddel:

Feel the love! :-)
:pint:

I think this is turning into a tradition now: the wages of Cyberus posting the Scot-hunting thread is that he will forever be plagued by .... "The Sock"  :-P

Joking aside, this is one of the best evenings posting I've seen in AGES. Like, literally a year or so!

:pint:

Damn, I wish I had more :pint:

Look. We are reasonable men. I'm sure if you simply change your avatar to a sock, we'll stop 'socking it' to you

There is a more poignant side to this whole thing of course. As the festive season approaches, spare a thought for those less fortunate, whom Santa has abandoned and are forced fill their own stockings on Xmas Eve :-(

I'm not sure if I could find one crusty enough

hehe, I just noticed that karlos post - synchronicity?


edit again: Dodgy quick editing of image to make it fit - and it shows, eh? I'm a linguist anyway, not an artist
(and a cunning one at that ;-))

Is it me, or is the subject of a well wanked sock more interesting than US politics?

I can see a lot of parallels, actually. They are insidious, vile and have the potential to bring about mass revulsion and embarrasment.

Drawing a parallel with the current military operations, was it used in a direct penetration or merely in the following clean up operation?

Well, I haven't been feeling very "funny" so rather than try to be funny (which never works) I thought I'd keep quiet. But I have been reading, and laughing. A lot.

Good to hear it Chris!

Anyway, gentlemen, I shall bid you goodnight...

All that lazing around drinking beer and watching rugby and football highlights has taken its toll :lol:

I am sure we shall engage in some fine fooling on the morrow.
(Or technically 'today')

edit: ey! Eyso has turned up!

Bah, I guess I could have one more crafty beverage...:-D

tsk tsk, Cyberus, "Biercrisis" isn't something to be taken lightly! ;-)
I wouldn't have a housemate to steal beer/wine from
I would have to go to the pub (yup, also about 4 o'clock in the morning pubs are still opened here :-))

I don't really want to disscuss it (well actually, I do but the batteries in my PDA are running low)... suffice to say, technique improved over time, and unlike the US military, I learned from my mistakes ;-)

My housemate is 'teetotal' - i.e. he doesn't drink at all!
He opened a bottle of wine a few days (!) ago, when he had guests. That is why this oxidised wine tastes so bad. :oops:

gah! you know that they close here at 11pm! :pissed:
that was like 2.5 hours ago...

Anyway, I wouldn't go to the pub on my own...

(I have just moved to a different part of England, and don't have any friends here)

Yeah I know..
Here, many pubs close at about ~5/6 o'clock in the morning, some others make it 'till 9 o'clock in the morning
there are also a few 24hours bars here (in Groningen city, that is)

Just make sure you don't accidently shake the sock :-P


BTW...glad to see at least someone is cheerful, its Sunday evening here, only a few more hours left of my weekend before another week at work, hmmmm, me thinks its beer time ;-)

Jeez! Sunday afternoon here. After a night of wild partying, I regret to say that I'm hung over for the first time ever. I must be getting old! :-)
Title: Re: A round of hearty handshakes are in order
Post by: Cyberus on November 21, 2004, 01:33:55 PM
@ whabang

was your weekend suitably wild....?
I guess 'hangover' answers that question.

Hang on, you said 'hung over for the first time ever'!!!
:-o

I don't get hangovers often - last nasty one was in Berlin two months ago - but I've certainly had more than one in my life!

I find if I'm hungover, I get very silly the next day.
However, if its one of those 'once in 3 years' kind of hangovers, I just want to crawl into a corner somewhere and die....
I remember walking around the streets of East Berlin feeling like death :-(

@whabang

Sounds as if someone had a good time :-) I hope you have recovered from your hangover, they can be quite brutal...
Title: Re: A round of hearty handshakes are in order
Post by: that_punk_guy on November 21, 2004, 09:49:07 PM
I think just once I had something approaching a hangover. My friend made me a cup of cheap, horrible coffee and he had this smelly electric heater which he insisted on aiming right at my head. And he smoked roll-ups. Holding onto the previous night's dodgy curry (which I was certain contained faeces) was a heroic feat. :-D

Interestingly, marijuana "hangover" (it's not really comparable, but it seems to last about as long) used to give me a weird warm feeling and a sense that while time was finally running linear again, I was living each moment a few seconds later. If that makes sense...

And James Stewart says "Hi!"
