No, honestly, it is. I mean, no one else around here does thread sabotage with pictures of a Creme Egg!

Once upon a time, this sequence of threads was for those going to Serenity² in November. Now all kinds of folks come here to have fun, spend their crazy time with us, and obsess about chocolate, drinking and Alan Tudyk. Oh, and Summer Glau. And... well, all of them, really. Sometimes the topic drifts back to Firefly or Serenity or the various cons, but we don't let that bother us none.

So welcome along and join the biggest network of loons you ever did see!

Very good of you to put an explanation at the beginning. Would hate people to think there was no method to our madness.

Precisely what I thought. A bit of explanation on ocassion is helpful. And this way everyone knows the doors are open to all comers.



This tutorial is good for DVD Shrink --> ULead VideoStudio 8.

Doesn't have much for when it's in there, though.

Since you asked, maybe I will

I have My Big Firefly Vid Idea, but I should probably try my hand at some other stuff first before I get enough of a grip on it to try The Big Idea.

Ooh, don't mention chocolate - got a bit carried away with the Galaxy at lunchtime.

Oh have just realised something - SimonWho, remember when we were talking about Captain Zep? Just realised I was getting confused with Galloping Galaxies! I remember the Captain Zep theme tune but not much else.

Ok, I am confused. Galloping Galaxies? Citizen has a website? Help

I am spending too much time away from my real life this week - 4 days of work, a night with the in-laws, two with separate friends (one is tonight - I have to go soon :howls with despair:) and one with the new landlady. All of this leaves little time for the things that matter *sigh*

I shall therefore say adieu and farewell and leave you all with the question:

How can we train monkeys to be more useful and make us chocolate?

PLEASE, I BEG YOU...don't taunt me (or Emma) with talk of Reeses's Cups. Whenever I go to America I buy what I feel is a decent amount - and the damned things have gone within a week!

Finally got to the Hersheys Store in New York this year - heaven! Except it wasn't, because I could only bring so much back with me, sob! (I also bought an "I love my Reeses" t-shirt - yes, I am that addicted.

Anyhoo, here's a pic of my ideal man:

I too ussually work in a london basement, not too far from Oxford Street (Westminster - its walking distance).
At the moment I'm on secondment to a building thats on the exact same site of the bakers where the fire of london started, its less mole-man'ey but I'm not sure which is better, basement or fire trap?

Thanks hon, but these things are so over-priced.

For instance, these: http://www.yankeedoodle.co.uk/x-cart/product.php?productid=238&cat=22&
page=1
can be bought in Woolworths for 50p each. Thank heavens there are some Reeses available in the shops, just sadly not the big bags that I want!

Still, guess it's good that I haven't reached such desperation that I'll pay these inflated prices online. Although...

Ha ha! I finally found the thing that you Brits crave as much as we Yanks crave those creme eggs!

I must run and tell TWG, this information will come in handy....

Fray-if you wanted, I could easily procure you Reeses, Kitkat, Herseys, Almond Joy and nearly any other chocolate brand T-shirts. I saw Reeses t-shirts at Target just the other day.

Got it in this wonderful shop in New York (Dean's something or other I think - not Dean & DeLuca, although did buy chocolate from there too!). Anyway, is just down the street from Serendipity 3 which is just the BEST restaurant. Carol, my sweet, they do this thing called Frozen Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate. Technically it's a drink, but it's like a meal in itself!

http://www.serendipity3.com/S3_food.html

Of course you can always get Peanut Butter milkshakes at Ed's Diner in London, which is a little nearer to home.

aside to Serenity:
Serenity, remember when i said, last week i think, that we needed to use Reeses against them? I did my homework, I did.


Turns out this guy that's moving into my house today, he's late btw, is not named Alan. He is Andrew. And he's bringing his mother...for I don’t know how long. I left my belly dancing DVD in the player and ZZTop CD on pause...so when they get there and turn everything on they'll get a nice wakeup.

I'm very disappointed that I had to search for this thread. Shame on you!

I had a VERY nice dream about Sean…no, not Maher…..Citizen. Thank you for the chips and Fullers. They were quite nice.

And there's some guy and his mother staying at your house? Did you rent your house out or something?

And I'm prety sure I had a Firefly-eque dream last night, I just don't completely remember.
