    I bought the Balls of Steel edition. 75 euros, but man, a bust of the Duke himself.

    The game is really pretty meh.

    I wanted that just for the bust. I ended up not getting the game atall.

    I might get it through... Other means.

    Hard to explain the Duke to young gamers. I really should have wait until prices were cut, but what the heck.

    Lets say that bubblegum is back on the menu.

    I, for one, am glad that you're not too active. :p j/k
    Congrats! And that many decennia may follow. :) I'll have a Leffe Blond on you and play some blues/soul/funk.

    Don't think I didn't notice what you did there, MoN. I ditched that name years ago ;)

    And I notice you're approaching the ten year mark as well. Why have we never in all those years drank a Leffe Blond (or something similar) together? :p

    Why not. perhaps at Castlefest or Elf fantasy fair to add a bit of scenery flavour.

    ---------- Added 0 hours, 3 minutes and 2 seconds later... ----------

    What a glorious week. Only 18 hours of work left in June.

    "Another" Dutch meetup? Did I miss something?
    I'd like that. I'm not too fond of Elf Fantasy Fair and the like, though. Sorry. So if you want to have a meeting and want to make sure that I won't come, but still you want to seem polite enough anyway and invite me, then fix a meeting at the Elf Fantasy Fair. :D

    If we want to enjoy some Leffe, I think the best place would be a pub :D There are a few good of them in Den Haag

    I wasn't invited either :( :p

    As for suggestions... it would be nice to have a look around the Elf Fantasy Fair once, but drinking a beer with you guys sounds fun as well. Maybe pick a terrasje in Den Haag (or Amsterdam or somewhere) one afternoon when the weather gets better again?

    Yesterday my city broke it's prior heat record. The temperature topped out at 102F (~38C). Now Florida gets hot, but it usually isn't that bad! The worse part is that I have to drive from job 1 to job two at noontime, and it was probably 40 (4.4C) or more degrees hotter in the vehicle than outside.
    Hope the weather breaks soon. We need rain, and lots of it.

    We've had a remarkably convenient summer so far... rain every so often and while the day temperatures are a bit under 30° C these days, it cools down to around half that overnight so everything gets to cool off. I can only wish it'd stay this way.

    Luxury!

    I remember one July day here when I was a lad. It was 150°F at 5:00am, but it warmed up nicely after that. People wearing certain synthetic fibres had the clothes melt off their bodies. We went to a nearby lake to cool off, which was fine at first, but by noon, the heat had evaporated all the water, so all that was left was a dry lake bed and a few angry sharks. Mom wanted to make a roast beef for dinner, and she decided that, instead of using the oven, she would just put it in the barbeque in the sun, no briquettes needed; it was ready in 15 minutes. We didn’t have air conditioning, so when we were ready for bed, we had to go into the basement and take turns sleeping in the freezer. Fortunately the blizzard we had the next day cooled things off.

    Apparently, Splunge is in an odd frame of mind and has decided to share that with us in just about every forum on the boards.

    :p
