Un-believable. Mind you, they outlined a lot of stuff I am interested in and
STFU is my normal green so they cant be that bad... hmmm, then again :-)
#1: Obviously the web died a few years ago and now web developers work for
peanuts.
#2: They obviously need a professional writer onboard
#3: One way to place a bag of holding inside a bag of holding is to:
a) Have another person hold the bag
b) gaseous form on that person
c) that person wafts into your bag of holding.
Although both bags are transdimensional, they are now separated by the
ethereal dimension that holds the solid form of those gaseous.
#4: Pretend I'm in the matrix? You mean... you arent????!!!???
#5: Its a high-elf cleric actually.
#6: Urotsukidoji - I have I and II. Awesome. That orgasmatron kicks the
pooper outa western equivs.
#7: Neal Stephenson hey - must investigate coz I love Willy Gibby.
#8: Gave up recompiling kernels a long time ago - there are now too many
mistakes in any kernel to keep up with mods as new versions arrive.
#9: Paul Oakenfold rocks hard, the chemical bros have only done about 3
decent tunes and a truckload of effluent.
#10: My keyboard is clogged alright... all sorts of strange things though,
mainly beer and a barrier of reefers :-) Add in some metal filings, cat
fluff, scalp exfoliations, bits of last nights baked beans...
