    Nope. You fail. :p

    Ever since I first moved out, I've either lived in an appartment or a house that had lawn/garden maintenance service twice a week. :D How I miss it. :(

    The grass wasn't that long either...probably about 4 inches too tall. My dad mowed the lawn the day before they left.

    I just re-found a loaded dice I made two decades ago. It has a statistically significantly increased chance of scoring five or six. The modification is barely visible. When one rolls it over a couple sheets of paper it is slightly noticeable that it tumbles somewhat oddly. I still pride myself on the good work. Idle hands ...

    If I think back, the fascination of trickery aside, I probably made it because I greatly clung to my DSA characters at the time. I just couldn't see them die, after all the effort I put into creating and playing them. One potential remedy was to generate higher scores. Anyway, to make long story short, nothing came of that since I had to brag about my achievement - and people suggested me to use transparent dice. Fascists.

    I'd stick with just the first three words: "Bloody Windows Update". Or maybe I'd scrap "Update" as well.

    In half an hour I'm taking Rob to the hospital. They're going to knock him out and stick a camera somewhere that'd make your eyes water! Think he'll be doing the John Wayne walk for a few days!

    Re-reading some old RBPs for nostalgia's sake, I realized one thing... if, by some paradox, the 2005 version of me met the 2010 version of me, the 2010 would whoop the 2005 version... I was reading some of my old posts and I got on my nerves. I annoyed and pissed off myself reading those old posts. Blatant stupidity... and not enough leaf-hailing.

    (If that doesn't make sense, I'm riding Air Durban first class, so blame the time zone lags in my brain)

    (What?)

    [​IMG] I believe a mathematical formula correlating age to typing proficiency could be derived ;)

    Saying that, am making an awful lot of typos today, then again am a little shakey :lol:

    Same here Morg :(


    Edit: Those of you that are able to, go to BBC iPlayer and find something called Madness in the Fast Lane. I watched the first 10 minutes of it earlier and it's got some truly incredible footage in it.

    Perfectly clear sky here. :bigeyes:

    Is it considered cheating when "wishing upon a star" during a known/forecasted meteor shower? :p

    Same here, it was raining all night... :(. But I managed to see some of them the night before, even if not very clearly.

    Hehe, as long as you pick one star, it should work ;). By the way... what if a few people wish upon one star? She fulfills the first wish? All of them? What if things get mixed up, then: the soldier gets his pink-manned pony, and the 1st grader becomes the strongest girl in her class? :D
