Hmm, it's a bit of a quiet time on the Boards right now . . . .

 

... not any more!

@ Tal - yep, nothing like some Vogon poetry to stir the soul.

 

Tonight I happened to be witness to a transformer getting hit by lightning. It was showering bright blue sparks all around my truck. I just kinda sat there cowering and called 911. When I could finally move again (which was tricky since all the traffic lights had gotten zapped), I had to navigate many fallen branches/small trees. Guess I should be grateful there weren't any large trees down.
Gotta love Florida thunderstorms.

 

A Transformer? Which one? I hope it wasn't one of the Constructicons.... Maybe it was Megatron.

 

Persdonally, I hope it was a Transformer for the new shows, not one of the real originals. Maybe Galvatron.

Actually, I heard on the news this morning that 2 people in Melbourne (IIRC) were seriously injured in a lightning strike.

 

Not surprised. Florida is the lightning capital of the world. Not the first time I've had a close call. It's normal in the summertime. Even everyday thunderstorms can get a bit wild.

 

Then there was the Darwin Award from a couple of years back about the guy and his girlfriend 'getting busy' on top of a hill during a thunderstorm, and the cop who was driving a brand new patrol car somewhere in outback Australia during a thunderstorm and was struck, the car was badly damaged and had all four tyres blown but he survived.

 

I'll find out tomorrow if my truck was damaged. The tires made it home, however.
The storm blew up after I arrived at the restaurant for dinner. *shrugs* Normal for this place, if you tried to plan your life around thunderstorms, you'd never be able to leave your house!

 

Don't diss the Vogons.

We bite

It is a sad fact that my recitals of Tolkien's poetry have earned me the nickname "Vogoni" and the pleasure of having rocks and tin cans thrown at me....

Then again, am estatic: signed the broadband conbtact today. In 2 weeks or so, I should be a continuopus presence here...,. expect a serious rise in my post vcount

 

Now really, was there any reason to de-pin the mod lists from the BG forums. I still needed those! Grrr...

First one on the list (and it's pinned).

Goin' to the country, gonna eat me alot of peaches, I'm going to the country, gonna eat me alot of peaches...

Such a stupid song.

 

Where is Sarevok Anchev?

I sort of miss his laconic presence.

Blech, school starts on monday, but my b-day's on tuesday.

 

@Baldy
Nothings wrong with dat, vicious one. On the contrary, its:
"Fe fi fo fun for me"
Moloko
For now.

But give back that steaming heart of mine. Tal has no use for it. He may keep the silver plate though.

 

My 2-ton room spider Goliath has vanished. However, Golgotha, a new (and considerably smaller but more vicious-looking) spider has taken up residence. We've agreed not to kill each other.

Say 'birthday' aloud. Now say 'b-day' aloud. Surprises most people.

 

Ow Splunge, be careful. I'm sensitive.

/me rubs the back of his head

But thanks though.

 

I'm a bit sad today This day just didn't turn out the way I would hope it did...

And then my parents called that they came home earloer

This days cost me to much money I've bought 4 cd's to cheer me up!

But it didn't help that much although the Muppets brought a smile on my face

 

Maybe in the same place as Rallymama, Extremist, Mathetais... or Tobias?
