Era of Nostalgia

[Lote-Tree]

Following from decade of Nostalgia:

Mine is Ancient Greece :D

When men were men and women were Goddesses :D

What is yours and why?

[Bakiryu]

Don't have one. Perhaps the future.

[Lote-Tree]

Don't have one. Perhaps the future.

Are you sure? would you not be happy amongst the Amazons ( I mean the Greek Warrior Females):D

[jon1jt]

Are you sure? would you not be happy amongst the Amazons ( I mean the Greek Warrior Females):D

or those nymphs. :D

[Bakiryu]

Are you sure? would you not be happy amongst the Amazons ( I mean the Greek Warrior Females):D

Depends, I wouldn't have wanted to get anything cut off :lol:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazons



or those nymphs. :D


I love nymphs but then I would get chased by a bunch of people: centaurs, gods, fauns, satyrs.

[Lote-Tree]

Depends, I wouldn't have wanted to get anything cut off :lol:


I think you will be doing all the cutting off things mostly :D

[Bakiryu]

Yay! Sword!

(I just read on wikipedia they cut off half their chest :sick:)

[Shurtugal]

what's up with the greeks cutting off everything?

[Bakiryu]

They liked swords? I could never *ouch!*

[Lote-Tree]

They liked swords? I could never *ouch!*

Swords, Spears, Arrows...and anything that makes a man bleed :D

[Bakiryu]

Swords, Spears, Arrows...and anything that makes a man bleed :D

FIRE?

(just read that wikepedia link and you'll see what I'm talking about)

[Shurtugal]

i love swords, arrows, knives, you don't see me cutting everything off. of course not.

[Bakiryu]

I love swords too and arrows. BUT MY GREATEST LOVE IS: FIRE!

[Shurtugal]

then you should be called vesta... it means fire.

[Bakiryu]

The Viking era was pretty cool! all that beer and norse gods. Especially loki. Vikings are way cooler than gladiators :D

[Lote-Tree]

The Viking era was pretty cool! all that beer and norse gods. Especially loki. Vikings are way cooler than gladiators :D

But raping and pillaging? They were worse than Romans :D
Cool? Bloody more like!!! :D

[Bakiryu]

The romans were bloody too, and a bit boring.

[Lote-Tree]

The romans were bloody too, and a bit boring.

But Roman's were "relatively" more civilised than Vikings? :D

[Bakiryu]

Civilization isn't really interesting sometimes and besides: ships, and neo-pagans!!! Vikings are misunderstood. (I wikied them)

[Shurtugal]

i couldn't really say what i like best... i have viking blood in me, there's the bloody half of me, but the thanks to the romams we have many of the awsome fantisy creature!

[Lily Adams]

I love all periods of history. Every era has something in it that interests me. I especially love the 18th century. So beautiful and classic.

So, yes, I do get very "nostalgic". Quite often. Er, everyday since I almost completely ignore 2007. :lol: I get overly-nostalgic, actually. Quite painful!

And...I LOVE the '80s. I remember I was talking to my college friend and she was said it was funny that I love the '80s so much and I wasn't even born yet. I've been getting into more 20th century things. Don't know when I'll get to the 21st century if I ever do. Probably when I'm 50 or 80 or somethin'...I'm trying to get more modern, people! :lol:

[Lote-Tree]

Ah Viking lassie here :D

I hope the Bloody half is lost in the history of DNA exchanges or do you still feel an urge to wield a battle axe ?:D

[Shurtugal]

well.... it's more closer to a sword. i love everything about fighting... other then the fact that everyone dies. if everyone could just be gutted and not die that would be the best! (well, maybe not, but you get the point.)

[theP3ach]

I would have to say the roaring 20's. deco, flappers, the charleston....I am quite confident it would have been the perfect era for me.

[Lote-Tree]

well.... it's more closer to a sword. i love everything about fighting...


But you are girl - fighting is man's business. You should not sully yourself with such things. It is beneath you :D

[Bakiryu]

It seems lote that you have a great desire to be killed by a bunch of sword-wielding feminists :lol:

[Shurtugal]

aye, it seems like lote has a death wish! LOL :lol::lol: :lol: :lol::lol::lol:

[Lote-Tree]

It seems lote that you have a great desire to be killed by a bunch of sword-wielding feminists :lol:

Ha ha :D not at all. It just that I value the Feminine for it's power to nurture as oppose to the masculine power which always tend to be destructive... :D

[Shurtugal]

i shall consider apon your words... fine, i guess you have a point.

What is yours and why?

I don't know if I would want to live there and then, but I'm a ancient roman history buff. I enjoy the period.

Actually to live at any time period, I would be hard pressed to leave the current time. We have the best standard of living of history and longest life span and modern medicine has made our lives less painful.

Indeed, Virgil...all the technology, too. I learn so much...

This post reminded me of one of my favorite TV shows:

Really makes you appreciate your life a bit more. :lol:

Yaaay Tony Robinson! My favorite episode is The Tudors one because he dresses up as a fishwife and it's really funny. Such a short, dear old man...

You are soooooooooo lazy! We can easily do without Oprah and daytime tv and bigmacs and all the modern nonsense. Live life raw as it is :D

[Shurtugal]

i would like to visit a time frame... but not spend the rest of my life there. nay, that would be to much of a life change...

[Lote-Tree]

I thought you were half a viking? would you not want to spend rest of your life looting and pilliaging? :D

[TheFifthElement]

Says the man from the comfort of his chair, in his centrally heated home with all mod-cons, TV, broadband internet connection, a nice cup of tea or perhaps a chilled bottle of beer, with snacks fresh out supermarket looking forward to the next day of computer programming. ;)

When was the last time you went camping?

[Shurtugal]

i am part viking! but that doesn't mean i can live in a whole different time frame! lol... though the plumiging other people houses seems quite fun (despite the fact it it very bad and i would really never do it)

[Bakiryu]

Imagine life without: baby diapers, plumbing, Electricity. It just sounds so fun!
And meanwhile we would be hounded by biatchy women! Like I'm right now. LOVELY! :D


i am part viking!

I'm part Romani. 500 years ago I would have been killed as a witch or living as a palm reading. Not my idea of fun. :sick:

He he :D

I am a practical person too Supreme Being. I can garden, grow my own vegetables, fish, cook and do my own ironing!!! :D

And I love nature. I like country walks, hiking and yes camping...but I have not done camping for a very looooooooong time :D

And yes I have felt real hunger and enjoyed eating the food I cooked :D

I think I can quite easily live a hunter-gatherer existence and bring down woolly mamoth with my spear :D

[TheFifthElement]

And are you single too? (Ladies, form a queue)


I think I can quite easily live a hunter-gatherer existence and bring down woolly mamoth with my spear :D

Or with your ironing board, you could sink a battleship with one of those :D

[Lote-Tree]

And my teacher was my Grandma!
She was one remarkable women !!! - taught me to climb trees, catch fish with hooks, use a boat and swim fast-flowing rivers :D

[TheFifthElement]

He he :D

She sounds like an amazing woman. My Grandma's taught me that :

1) if you live long enough you go barmy and attack people on the street (especially well meaning neighbours), and
2) how to steal lavendar from parks and sew it into pillows.

When I'm a Grandma I'm going to be like yours (though I've a lot to learn still!).

[Bakiryu]

Wow. Alright grandma!

My dad was the one who taught me all this :) except for the swimming part, I sink!

[Shurtugal]

ha! ker, you sound like one of my friends. she just can't swim for the life of her. we tried to teach her... it did no good. me, we'll just say i was on a swim team. i love swimming it's the closest thing i can get to flying. why? becuase you're free, no holding back. do a million flips, go upside down, anything! as soon as i'm in, I'm FREE!

[Lote-Tree]

When I'm a Grandma I'm going to be like yours (though I've a lot to learn still!).

My Grandma was indeed a remarkable person! She raised 6 children on her own in a society where men were in control of the women! :D she had nothing and worked hard to make a life for hereself and the children.
I salute her :D

[Bakiryu]

My parents tried bribing me!

[Lote-Tree]

My parents tried bribing me!

What to swim?

[Bakiryu]

Yup! I got around 1 dollar for every lap, I used to practice for hours just to buy a book :D

[Lote-Tree]

All book and no swim makes Jill a very dull girl :D

[Bakiryu]

So not! I still think skydiving is better than swimming! or hiking!

Besides why would I want to swim when I can just hang around by the pool and check out people? :blush:

[Lote-Tree]

So not! I still think skydiving is better than swimming! or hiking!

But swiming is swiming?



Besides why would I want to swim when I can just hang around by the pool and check out people? :blush:

But you can do both?

[Shurtugal]

fair friends, how did we get on the conversation of why we can't check people out while swimming?

[Bakiryu]

I don't know :lol:

Also, swimming with glasses is very bothersome.
