Hey, I've just realised - I passed 40 week before last, so I'm now officially old enough to visit the Cafe - yay! :D


A belated "Happy Birthday" to you! :D

I'm still not old enough to be here. I'm just practicing for later! :wink:

Is that like cows? Eating your breakfast twice? Is that Chuck's evil guru Martha Stewart at work again?

Maybe cows eating breakfast twice while pondering, reflecting and meditating on various issues of relevance to cattle. :roll: :wink:

Sorry didn't mean to leave so suddenly. I was testing my religion. Seems I hit Satanism 100% twice, one was a more complete test. Fun, I couldn't actually predict the things, like those dorky normal blog doo-doos. This one was a very special dorky blog doo-doo.

Martha Stewart is my Goddess. She'll eat anything. Including my breakfast twice. Wadda woman.

She's is not to, evil Gromit :cry: She has blue eyes and blond hair and so does the baby Jesus.

And Ann Coulter. Explain to me again how hair and eye colour predict someone's character. Is there a complete system?

You have apparently never experienced a day with my blonde haired, blue-eyed little daughter, the one that says she wants to be evil because being good is boring. :twisted:

Where'd the Pratchett quote come from?

And blond, blue-eyed people are evil. Look at Paris Hilton.

I was away for a bit.... Over on another forum feeding my "trained rodents".
"Fascism may make the trains run on time, but you wouldn't like some of the destinations.
Terry Pratchett" Couldn't find that one in WikiQuote but it does sound like something he would say.

oh, my gawd yes! read any . . well, I was going to say read any KKK (America's own Ku Klux Klan (named after the sound a shot gun makes when putting a round in the barrel) liturature but I didn't know they could write nor their people read.

What a cheap shot at a grand American Institution! I am sorry.

Interesting, indeed. I found a close match at http://cloudnet.com/~jldomini/othfun.html#terryp, but that still doesn't say where it's from. I can't say I recognise it, and I think I've read most his writings, except for the latest one (Wintersmith?).
Also, it doesn't really sound like TP, because it's an urban myth? The trains were running on time in Italy before Mussolini invented the fascists.

Hi, all! I actually ventured out of my cave tonight. I had seen that there was a meet up for Social Anxiety and Shyness in my town, so I decided to give it a shot. And it actually went great! Couldn't wait to share this with my Dino Aspie friends. I posted in the General Aspie discussion about it, too. I feel relieved to know that I can still socialize. Since the others struggled with shyness, it wasn't so bad at all. We even went out for dinner. And we are going to do it again. I just hope I don't get to tired to participate. :)

Cool! :D It's amazing what can happen when you take that first step!! I have found that when I am feeling really tired, I am energized by going and socializing (in my case a knitting club). It takes a little effort to get out the door but it's great once I'm "out of my cave". :lol:

Yup, they know the basics...3 chords. :wink: Their drummer needs some help and the singer needs to get a little more angst working. I think they should steal from other songs though. I'll give them a look see in a while, maybe they found something else to steal from.

Johnny Winter put together a studio band for his Nothing But the Blues album. He got some old time blues players. Such beautiful drum work, so simple, so expressive. Some bands should take some lessens in that style. Winter has such a great style, well copied now, but no one quite does it like him. I actually got a thrill seeing the name Winter on the mail boxes when we drove through Texas hill country, which is where he's from. The rest of the band he put together was just plain awesome. Yeah I know, there's that word awesome, but I think it does fit. I'll even toss in uber. Saw him for the first time at Woodstock, love his style. I love the blues, but can't do them for a long period, not in repeat mode.

Thanks for the link. I'm still stuck on Three Days Grace and then only one of their songs. I think I'm going into my third day with it.
