here is my suggestion:
1) go to a shop (or workplace) that will do (preferably colour) photocopies.
2) photocopy your face
3) scan in the photocopy (or post it to someone to scan it if you are scanner deprived too)
4) upload to web
5) bob's you uncle

(note to cho: this is 'proper' usage)

What is a Christmas pud?



I can only think of Santa's ding-a-ling. :oops:


Also, let me know when the cutey biscuit eater turns 4 so I can start coaching her in soccer.

I don't advise actually making it yourself. My dad tried one and gave everyone food-poisoning (this is quite strange because it only contained fruit, nuts, flour ect. and all the basic ingrendients... I think.) Anyway, I'm kind of digressing (I learnt a new word) so to cut a long story short store bought is always best (though my dad one gave us food poisoning because he bought some old meat-balls. Even to this day, he says it wasn't the meatballs, it was a virus. Besides, who wouldn't trust a product with 'Worlds Best Meatballs' written on the label?)

Frankly, G_G, I'm more than slightly suspicious of my dear brother's cooking at any time (although that pasta he did last time I visited was to die for...)

Interesting juxtaposition of "food poisoning" and "pasta ... to die for", Kvetch. :P

my advice about his cooking: if he says it's hot - go for swallowing molten lead instead

Oh, I miss this thread. So to get it started again, I think we should have a Pirate Picture Posting thing on here. We can post pictures of us (or people we know) dressed as pirates. What do you think?

Cool outfit. I love the horn.

Can you blow it?

My grandpa had a horn like that--which I could never blow--well, actually, I could blow it like hell! But no sound ever came out.

My brother, a trumpet player, could make it work.

SCA looks like so much fun....I often consider getting involved, but life is SO DANG busy and full already.

Umm.... no, the horn is for drinking, not blowing. I've had it for a while now, and seldom wash it, so really all you have to do is put some water in it, swirl the water around a bit, and drink. Instant grog!

Do!

I have one of me in full cowboy regalia somewhere. I was quite the cowgirl in my childhood.

I shall muck through my boxes in search of it.

Cho, so was I! There's a real cute one of me in a little red cowgirl outfit sitting on a pony. I was one of those spoiled brats who asked for a pony and actually got one! Her name was Tinker Bell, and she was a stubborn little shetland pony. But, as a child growing up in the wilder parts of the California Mojave Desert I loved being able to get on my pony and ride to a friends house. It was easier than trying to ride a bike on sand, since we had no sidewalks.
