As Sven writes country music, I thought of this lot.

Does anyone in country songs drink anything furrin' like Vodka?
--- Quote ---One of my own talents, I'm afraid. Im a very quiet person when I move, and tend to surprise people by being in a room for several minutes before they realize I'm there... usually by turning around and bumping into me!

Carl-E, the Agent Gibbs of the forum. :-D

The bunyip (a legendary creature from Australian Aboriginal folklore) is proverbially used down here for something that does not exist (hence the local insult "bunyip aristocrat"), so I'm not surprised that it got no votes.

Now there's a fine example of a bunyip!

Since I dug up that quote, I've been thinking about Faye's fixation on her breasts' role* in her interpersonal relationships. Based on that, I think she's gonna … (if you want my marker, you know what to do. Jeph says he doesn't read the forums much anymore {a good policy for the most part, I imagine—hard to watch while we crudely vivisect his baby} and this is simply too good for me to risk that he's lying and turn him off on it.)

--- Quote from: Carl-E on 28 Oct 2010, 07:24 ---That's not introspection. When a bunch of your friends, and your SO tell you you're being stupid, and you finally give in and say, "OK, I was being stupid", that's not introspection. That's a forced surrender!

Entirely true. It was a very lame (and intentionally lame at that!) attempt to disagree with Raoul, in order to justify his retreat to a safe rock.

I don't need your pity, man.
(Okay, maybe I do, but you needn't be so obvious about it.)
Seriously, though, there was at one time a hardy cadre that, every time he hadn't appeared in over two weeks, basically chanted "where's Steve?" "what about Steve?" "we sure do miss Steve." "Steve? Oh, it's just Marten. I thought you were…" slinks off in disappointment. Okay, I exaggerate, but only a little. Are these souls no longer with us?

Of course I got it—I read Secrets of Power: Find Your Own Truth (Shadowrun novel) ages ago. But I didn't see how it applied. Say, you're not needing my pity, are you?
*Roles? I hate it when I'm not sure of number, especially since English has only two (unless it's dealing with modifiers, anyway).
Is it cold in here?:
If only there were a well-endowed woman in the cast who was attracted to Sven and capable of surprising insights ...
I admit it, I just want Raven back.
