In two the animations won't seems to work, but what do I know? Enjoy!

[kiz_paws]

Those were fantastic, wouldn't you agree?

[kathycf]

How could I not agree? Those pics are so nice, it would be hard to choose a favorite, don't you think?

[Niamh]

You got a Froud Fairy! Can i copy this? (i think i had the proper pic of this for an avy for about two weeks!)
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q268/niamhking/purple-fairy1.gif
And put it with my dancing Alien?
http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q268/niamhking/thgir.gif

[Pendragon]

Sure! After all, I copied it from someplace that had free animations. Use a photobucket account if you want the animation to work. Save to your computer as a .gif, then upload to photobucket, OK? If you don't have a photobucket account, they are free, just join up, OK?

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/purple-fairy.gif

[Niamh]

Copied! very easy to copy dont you think?

[hockeychick8792]

Isn't it easier just to cut?

[quasimodo1]

Anyone on this forum ever read the "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" T>E>Lawrance?

[quasimodo1]

That would be Lawrence

[quasimodo1]

ok, has anyone seen Lawrence of Arabia, you know the David Lean film about T<E<Lawrence?

[Niamh]

No, but i think i own "Seven Pillars of Wisdom"?

[Janine]

ok, has anyone seen Lawrence of Arabia, you know the David Lean film about T<E<Lawrence?

quasi, yes I have seen the film countless times; it is one of my favorites, and in fact David Lean is one of my favorite directors. Besides being an awfully nice man (I have observed him on many a special features segment being interviewed), he was brilliant don't you think? I just saw "Bridge Over the River Kwai" again, and I also own and love "Passage to India"; I own "Lawence of Arabia" and can watch it anytime I please - think that is my all time favorite Lean film - a masterpiece!

For everyone here is a bit of trivia - The real Lawrence was friendly with Thomas Hardy. The real Lawrence was a very interesting character indeed.

Pen, nice fairies - thanks - I copied a few, too!

[Pendragon]

Always glad to oblige. Have you heard the rumors concerning T.E. Lawrence's sudden "accidential motorcycle wreck", quasi? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Biker.gif

[quasimodo1]

Maybe this is just gullibility talking or some instinctual response to the man, not the writer, but personally, I think it was not an accident. Sometimes people don't commit suicide but lead a lifestyle that inevitably leads to it. Then again, maybe just wrong place, wrong time. Still, he lived on the sharp edge of a one edged blade. Where would we be without historical figures of such vision and genious? Do you believe that those in ignorance of the past are doomed to repeat it. What we need is Lawrence of Iraq. quasi

[Pendragon]

More like someone who had reached the end of his usefulness and would not go quietly into the night, so-- well, you catch my meaning? http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/gundam/deathscythe_strongweapon.gif

[Shalot]

can anyone really catch meaning? can you catch a cloud or a rainbow?

[Pendragon]

You never heard of a "prisim"? Or a fog machine?

[Hyacinth42]

No, what are theese "prisms" and "fog machines" of which you speak? ;)

[Shalot]

well, yeah perhaps you can fashion a device that will enable you to catch these things, but you yourself cannot catch them with your hands can you now? (hmmphhh ;) )

[snow9999]

what device would you use to catch those things?

[quasimodo1]

Some american Indians make things called dreamcatchers. Don't think they want to catch nightmares. My son had a couple dreamcatchers and i can't say if they worked or not. Yet. quasimodo1

[kiz_paws]

I love the customs of the North American Indians, such interesting stuff, eh?

(the Canadian way of asking a question, just add an 'eh' at the end....??) :lol:

[Pendragon]

I sleep with a dream-catcher above my head, and I dream every night, so I would say them might be effective, no? Then again, I am of Native American blood from both sides of the family, the great-grandson of a full blood Cherokee, so it might be in the blood, you think? Or I might just be predispositioned to dream regularly and in full color anyway, n'est ç'est pas?

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Boring.gif

[Shalot]

what is this french at the end of your posts Mr Pen?

[SeleneMB]

Can I play?

[Shalot]

Can I play?


I dont know, can you? :D (didn't you just hate when someone said that?)

[SeleneMB]

I don't do you?

[Pendragon]

Is it not? I mean, you did want the translation, right, Shalot? Ah, why did I waste two years of French flirting with the teacher? And why do I know words and phrases from dozens of languages but am doomed to English? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Teeth.gif

[Niamh]

why am i also doomed to english when my native language is Irish?

[quasimodo1]

To Niamh: Stick to Irish, or Gaelic, or Celtic: they all have sound and inflection more interesting than most English, just not the vocabulary and as many writers. quasimodo1

[quasimodo1]

forgot to follow up with a question: To what extent does good self-esteem, all the shades of grey in between, and bad self-esteem determine the quality of one's writing?

[kiz_paws]

oh no, did you have to ask that? ;)

[_Shannon_]

WHat do you think??

[quasimodo1]

I think they are inextricably related but one doesn't cancel the other out. Writing, all kinds, can happen in either condition but I'd venture that the more inspiring kind would eminate from persons with good self-esteem as differentiated from arrogance. I see a relationship, a complicated one. quasimodo1

[_Shannon_]

:D Is there a question in there??

[Shalot]

I think they are inextricably related but one doesn't cancel the other out. Writing, all kinds, can happen in either condition but I'd venture that the more inspiring kind would eminate from persons with good self-esteem as differentiated from arrogance. I see a relationship, a complicated one. quasimodo1

I don't know --- sometimes writing can be therapeutic. As far as inspirational value, I'd say that would come from the writer's ability to combine words and put it down, self-esteem and/or arrogance or not.

And what is self-esteem exactly? What are the origins of this term and who came up with it? I heard about "self-esteem" in some class we had to take in middle school and all I can remember is self-esteem = don't smoke drugs. *edit* this is questions only isn't it? Did I just post several declarative sentences in a thread for interogative sentences only? where is my dunce cap?

[kiz_paws]

Will a chef's cap suffice?

[motherhubbard]

does that imply that you can cook?

[kiz_paws]

I can cook ONLY if my life depends on it :blush:

But am I a good cook, THAT is the question! :lol:

[Pendragon]

Well, my dad always said the only thing worse than a woman that can cook and won't is a woman who can't cook and will! Would you believe I had an aunt like that? Her cooking would drive a starving begger away from the door at full tilt just from the smell, know what I mean?

[motherhubbard]

I know what you mean, but did she ever improve? isn't the old saying correct, if at first you don't succeed..?

[Niamh]

as in "try try again?"

[Pendragon]

Unfortunately, yeah, she did try again, and again, and again,--HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/TID.gif Practice makes perfect, but what if what you are doing is already wrong? Won't you just prefect wrong?

[kathycf]

Did she burn water, Pen?

[Pendragon]

Hee. Would you believe poor ol' Aunt Rosie would probably burn a salad? That was one stop on our "visit the family" walks (we didn't own a car, mom never learned to drive), that mom made certain we never arrived at anytime near a meal! Aunt Rosie may still be alive, I dunno, we lost all track of her after she diviored Uncle Bud, who died at age 56. He was mom's oldest brother. Mom is 67, I think don't quote me, ok?

[kathycf]

I think a person would have to be the epitome of a bad cook to burn salad, does anybody else agree?

[kiz_paws]

I didn't burn salad, but some potatoes in water came to a charcoal remains ... which shocked my mother in law and made me very embarassed, would you believe...? :blush: :blush: :blush:

[Mehrune Dagon]

Was the water from the half full cup in which started this very game?

[Pendragon]

Would you say that water in a cup being half-full or half-empty is important, or knowing the difference? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Beautiful.gif

[RJbibliophil]

Wouldn't that be a matter of opinion and desired reaction from your listener?

[kathycf]

Hi RJ, nice to see you, it has been a while hasn't it? :D

We are having hail right now where I live, isn't that spiffy? Or not? :lol:

[RJbibliophil]

You wouldn't dare mention any turnips, now would you?

[kathycf]

I just might mention turnips now, since you have reminded me, hmm?

But it would be especially noteworthy if it was actually hailing turnips...that would be a sight to see, no? :p

[hockeychick8792]

What is wrong with hailing turnips?! :(

[kathycf]

How does the use of the word "noteworthy" imply that there is something wrong with hailing turnips?


noteworthy - worthy of notice; "a noteworthy advance in cancer research"
notable
worthy - having worth or merit or value; being honorable or admirable; "a worthy fellow"; "no student deemed worthy, and chosen for admission, would be kept out for lack of funds"- Nathan Pusey; "worthy of acclaim"; "orthy of consideration"; "a worthy cause"
2. noteworthy - worthy of notice; "a noteworthy fact is that her students rarely complain"; "a remarkable achievement"
remarkable
significant, important - important in effect or meaning; "a significant change in tax laws"; "a significant change in the Constitution"; "a significant contribution"; "significant details"; "statistically significant"

[RJbibliophil]

Is Hockeychick not aware of the turnip affair primarily involving Aimus and Kathy?

Was that before his time?

[kathycf]

I guess she is unaware of the deep and abiding love, that I and Aimus have for turnips...but I guess that is ok, hmmm? :D

It may well be before Hockeychick's time, I think she joined in March?

So, RJ, how are you doing?

[RJbibliophil]

Would you believe that I am perfectly well?
Would it suffice to say I lost interest in Lit-Net and prioritized RL?
Should I really think the first quote in your signature is hilarious?

[kiz_paws]

And isn't Kathy's new avatar just the Cat's Meow?

[quasimodo1]

Dear kathycf: Doing ok so far; the day is young.

[Niamh]

Gurr! Would someone like to take the bane of this conjunctivitis for me? Please?

[hockeychick8792]

No, how about anybody else? What about you?

[Niamh]

no harm in asking eh?

[hockeychick8792]

I guess not, but do you think were here for a reason?

[Niamh]

dont know?

[Pendragon]

Logically, every thing must have a reason, must it not? Raison pour existant? Or are we all in the "every thing just happens, man!" crowd? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/BowScrape.gif

[BibliophileTRJ]

Does random chance count as a "reason"?

[Pendragon]

What if one fails to-- no, no. That dead horse (the argument for and against random chance creating the universe, the argument, that is) has been beaten long enough elsewhere, and it still isn't going to walk is it? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Xray.gif

[RJbibliophil]

Are we discussing logical fallicies which avoid the question like red herrings and ad hominems?

[_JadeRain_]

Why must we call it a red herring, why can't we call it a blue herring, or a yellow herring...?

[Niamh]

why call it a herring at all! How about makerel?

[tulysg1982]

how could you forget him?

[kathycf]

How can I forget whom? *confused face*

Could anybody actually hew the mightiest tree in the forest with just a herring, red or otherwise? Before anybody freaks out at how silly my question is, you should watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail?



And isn't Kathy's new avatar just the Cat's Meow?
meow, meowmeow....meow? :p

[BlueSkyGB]

Yes , it is required viewing for the strange....
" I f#*t in your general direction"
I fall over laughing every time I hear that line....:D

[Niamh]

Could anybody actually hew the mightiest tree in the forest with just a herring, red or otherwise? Before anybody freaks out at how silly my question is, you should watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail?


Does it not require that you must give the herring gifts of shrubberys first, so that it can become as sharp as an axe? (okay os i'm being silly but who cares?)

[hockeychick8792]

What are you talking about?

[kathycf]

May I refer you to my earlier post which states a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail? :)

[Niamh]

shrubbery kathy?

[kathycf]

Does I have to say NI to you?

[Niamh]

yes. would you like it gift wrapped and tied up with a knight?

[Niamh]

Of the topic but did you know that my little nephew Sean use to call me NiNi before he could pronounce my name? it always reminded me of grail

[dramasnot6]

Was that as cute as it sounds?

[Niamh]

What do you think?:D cute? Funny? cute and funny?

[_JadeRain_]

Did it sound at all?

[Niamh]

do you think NiNi is silent?:confused:

[dramasnot6]

May we call you NiNi now? :p

[_JadeRain_]

Could we possibly settle for the following string of syllables: Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-Pf'tang, Zzoo-Boing, gdgdbaaoizen?

[Niamh]

Could we possibly settle for the following string of syllables: Ecky-ecky-ecky-ecky-Pf'tang, Zzoo-Boing, gdgdbaaoizen?

Only if you want to Drama!....Do you?

[kiz_paws]

Hey, its you, our little Drama!! YAY! Where've ya been? :wave:

[Pendragon]

I think I'm going into hiding, myself... http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/GiveUp.gif

[kathycf]

Don't do that Pen, don't you know we would miss you?

[Niamh]

you wont go into hiding, will you Pen?:bawling:

[kathycf]

I think we would have to get a petition going if Pen ever decided to go into hiding, don't you all agree?

[Niamh]

it would be a very long one too wouldnt it?

[quasimodo1]

It would be a long petition I would sign. Abso*#@#*#LUTELY. QUASI

[kiz_paws]

Surely you realize that I'd sign the petition too, right?

[quasimodo1]

Since this is questions only...will Pen please return?

[Pendragon]

You'd hunt me down anyway... wouldn't you? The Froud Fairy with her magic, the Dead Undying gathering information in cold graveyards, Paws slinking around film noirs, Quasi ringing the bells up at Notre Dame, Andave setting butterflies after me ( ever been in a Monarch swarm?) Where would I hide? Let me see if you can guess, knowing as you do, that with The Dragon, nothing is ever what it seems. C. Auguste Dupin would find me quickly, and Sherlock Holmes would applaud the disguise. Where would I be hiding, then, Guv?

[Shalot]

Well I don't know about all that, but would it be very
annoying if I started right indenting all my posts?

[Pendragon]

WHY? Grouchy? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Tantrum.gif

[dramasnot6]

Doesn't hurt to flail your limbs like that Pen?

[kathycf]

Can I

way?

[kiz_paws]

:cold: Could I please try out this cute gif? :cold:

[dramasnot6]

Isn't it too late to ask? :p

you know what? I think it might be!how about this one instead?:santasmil

[ennison]

hmm wonder if that's a mink among my poultry? Should I go see? All that sqawking.

[anansi*_16]

why does my head hurt so bad?

[kathycf]

Maybe you shouldn't bang your head against the wall?

Would you like an aspirin, anansi*_16? :)

[SeleneMB]

Do you have Valium instead?

[Pendragon]

Hasn't anyone given any thought as to where I am Hiding?

[kathycf]

Is this like "Where's Waldo", but instead of Waldo we find Pendragon? ;)

[Niamh]

i think i found you Pen! is that you two posts above me?:lol: :p ;)

[Pendragon]

Would I admit to it? I gave two clues in this post: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/showpost.php?p=390308&postcount=7599 The question is, can you solve it? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/alfred_e_neumanS1.jpg

[kathycf]

Can I solve it? Not me, I am not good at thinking....maybe the person below me will know?

(are you hiding in plain sight, like the purloined letter? So you would be hiding here? )

[kiz_paws]

Have you been hiding out in a movie theatre...?

[dramasnot6]

Perhaps in a secret lair,in a cave?

[Niamh]

Well Pen. Shall we all meet you in Paris then?;)

[Pendragon]

So Kathy, you actually can solve mysteries? Allow me to explain for the others:

In The Purloined Letter, one of Poe's cases with C. Auguste Dupin, the letter is hidden by always being in plain sight, among other letters lying around innocently. Sherlock Holmes also espoused hiding in plain sight. He told Watson "Naked is the best disguise." Become someone people are used to seeing and they overlook you.

Think of it like this: A lady is found dead in her home. A search reveals a registered letter, a fresh reciept from the paper boy for the month's bill, and two unopen packages, one from a UPS truck and one from FEDX. If the neighbors are asked if they saw any strangers at that residence that day, they will all probably say "No." Yet here is evidence that four people came to that door. A mailman, since a reqistered letter requires a signature, the paperboy, to collect and write the reciept, and the two delivery men. One of them could be the killer. But he is hidden in plain sight!

Congrads, Kathy! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Appaluse.gif

You found me! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/PuppyLove.gif

[kathycf]

So Kathy, you actually can solve mysteries? Allow me to explain for the others:
Well, I like to read mysteries, but don't know how well I do solving them, you know?



Congrads, Kathy! http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Appaluse.gif


Thanks Pen, .....................................? :D

[quasimodo1]

A question with a degree of difficulty; this question quotes part of poem by an American author from New England. It is formated diifferently from the original. "Indebtedness to oxygen/ the chemist may repay,/But not the obligation to electricity./It founds the homes and decks the days/and every clamor bright/is but the gleam concomitant/of that waylaying light." Who is the poet? quasimodo1

[ennison]

That sounds like Emily Dickinson's staccato compressions.
Am I right? Don't know the poem though.

[quasimodo1]

Emily it is, staccato compressions from what poem or should I just give it up?

[quasimodo1]

the farthest thunder that i heard Emily D. well how about another. The author should be easy, but what work did this come from..."Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more,/Or close the wall up with our English Dead".

[quasimodo1]

Dear Pen: Hiding in plain sight, yes? quasi

[quasimodo1]

To hockeychick8792: Eventually context will reveal all. quasimodo1

[Pendragon]

Best way to hide, no. Quasi? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/PuppyLove.gif

[quasimodo1]

Dear Pen: i stand corrected. Got the idea from your posting. quasi

[iluvjames]

what im confused?

[quasimodo1]

the question is three posts up; sorry about the confusing entries. quasimodo1

This is a game in the general chat area, so perhaps yes? :)

[quasimodo1]

To Kathcf: No, nothing wrong at all. Just a little pre-occupied with things. You know I told my sister the other day that "silence can not be interpreted or misinterpreted". Way wrong on that one except from a legalistic point of view. My perception of this thread was all kinds of questions might be asked ranging infinitely from light to heavy. quasimodo1

Why have all questions stoppeddddd? Is someone going to do something about all this madness?

Hi farnoosh, and welcome to LitNet, you are new? :wave:

I don't think anybody is interrupting the game, and we are mostly informal playing this game, did you know? The only rule is that every statement must be in the form of a question, pretty relaxed, hmm? :)

[Niamh]

:eek: what type of desert? (I'm so hungry i'm only able to start eating again! stupid alergic reation to painkillers!) is there custard?

[kathycf]

Custard? Sure, why not? I am good at making desserts so I will bring several different things, ok?

[Niamh]

yep! will i get paper plates?

[Pendragon]

Oh, sorry about missing this thread -- we had miserable weather and our phone line/and of course, computer line, went dead for a huge spell. Then I was busy with family stuff and could only access a few little threads. So I apologize for creating any concern!

Now, on with the fun!

Pen, how about a nice slice of strawberry shortcake, baked it me-self only this morning? **offers cake for all to sample**

[Pendragon]

Strawberry Shortcake? How did you guess my favorite? And Farnooh, you get used to the madness around here suprising quickly, right fellow inmates.........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/Nirse.gif

[Lily Adams]

What is so short about shortcake?

[JBI]

Short cake is short?

[kiz_paws]

Isn't it because it is shy a few layers of a real German Torte?

[Orpheus]

What is German Torte?

[Lily Adams]

Does anyone know why I'm hungry all of a sudden? :lol:

[Shalot]

is there a reason why anyone should know why you are hungry, or why anyone should care? Am I being rude?

[Pendragon]

Isn't that a requirement for Goth hood? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Goth.gif

[Shalot]

Are there requirements for this Goth hood you speak of? Does it not require only a credit card and a trip to Hot Topic?

[kiz_paws]

What is German Torte?

http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s122/kiz_paws/torte.jpg

Does this image help you to imagine the delights of a German Torte? :)

[Orpheus]

Is that supposed to look appetizing?

[zomgmouse]

Why wouldn't it?

[Pendragon]

To Shalot: Possibly, but most of the "Goths" I know also look like extras for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so is that part of it?

[Shalot]

To Shalot: Possibly, but most of the "Goths" I know also look like extras for The Rocky Horror Picture Show, so is that part of it?

I don't know, I guess it could be, but since I'm not a true Goth then I can't answer your question now can I? Isn't Goth something created by corporate america to sell ugly pants with safety pins stuck all over them?

Can we talk about something else now? :smile:

[Orpheus]

Why has it become popular for teenage guys to wear women's pants? Is there some gender role confusion going on?

[Shalot]

where have you seen males wearing female pants? I have noticed that some of the jeans they're selling in the men's section are kind of sissy, but surely they're not actually buying women's jeans, are they?

[bluevictim]

Why do women's clothing have buttons on the opposite side?

[zomgmouse]

Isn't that European clothing as well?

[Pendragon]

Isn't is supossed to have to do with the days when people had servants to dress them and where they stood in regard to gender? Something about it was easier for the buttons on a women's clothing to be on the opposite side so as not to interfer with the hairdresser?

[Pendragon]

I hope you don't find this too dark, Steph.

[BibliophileTRJ]

Has it really been nearly a month since anyone posted here? Why did this thread suddenly drop dead?

[quasimodo1]

I don't know why the thread has gone sleepy. It could have been and maybe will be a thread where concise literary questions might be asked. I would encourage the moderators to include it in the main Forums presentation page so visitors or members might more easily get their query some satisfactory answer, if anyone here knows the answer. quasimodo1

[RobinHood3000]

Does it really matter?

[Pendragon]

There no rule that says it does, is there?

[RobinHood3000]

Does it have to?

[Pendragon]

No being the person who started the thread, I would hardly be the one to ask, what? http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l108/AbsalomKane/Smilies/cigar.gif

[Niamh]

Does anyone else agree that this thread dropped cause she who can not be named hasnt been around?:(

[Madhuri]

Do you think if some litnet celebrity posted here, this thread will become alive?

[rabid reader]

Well that depends, do you think a celebrity will? :wave:

[Madhuri]

Don't celebrities attract people?

Hey, Reader :wave:

[rabid reader]

yes but don' they have to post first to begin to attract? Should we mail someone fasmous, like Virgil or Pen?

[Madhuri]

Yeah :D . What else should we do -- make posters / banners with their pictures and post those in each thread? Will that work?

[rabid reader]

wouldn't putting links in our signatures be more effective?

[Niamh]

:confused: ???????? anyone else confused?

[Madhuri]

We are just thinking of ways to bring this thread back to life. Maybe, having some litnet celebrities to post here will do wonders. What do you say?

[rabid reader]

How could she not agree?

[Tabula_Rasa]

why does the moon never speak?

[callan]

In Eldest, Christopher Paolini states 'the song of the dead is the lamentations of the living.'

How is that possible

[Tabula_Rasa]

is it impossible then?

[callan]

well, is it possible?

[rabid reader]

What isn't possible and not merely improbable?

[Tabula_Rasa]

are you talking to me?

[Pendragon]

What if I am? http://smilies.vidahost.com/games/dbz/dragonball-wishdragon.gif

[rabid reader]

Why bother with self exploring puzzlement, when you can take up the cause of Descartes and merely ask if you exist?

[NikolaiI]

i am trying to find the no-questions thread, is this the right place?

[Tabula_Rasa]

there are no answers here... but would that make it a wrong place to be?

[NikolaiI]

am i in this place? is this a place you can be? are there moon flowers here?

[rabid reader]

why does it matter?

[Niamh]

can there be what ever you want there to be?

[Granny5]

What happens if you can't think of a question?

[Tabula_Rasa]

what if a question is itself an answer ?

[rabid reader]

Just wondering if ever one has voted yet?

[Granny5]

voted on what?

[Tabula_Rasa]

vote?

[Niamh]

what if a question is itself an answer ?

Did you know that the Irish are infamous for answering a question, in the question?:p So, you want to know if i've voted yes?;)
Time for bed dont you think? Or maybe some of you are only waking up?

[rabid reader]

voted on what?

Short Stories, what else?

[Niamh]

Pizza? I mean, you could vote for what types of pizza you like?:p
