Mostly they are war related, and mostly I disagree with everyone. Even non war threads seem to be infected with it. Still haven't been banned, though, so despite my disagreement I must be coming across as sufficiently sucky.

So Prax please tell me you dont actually like the taste of vegemite?
OK. "I don't actually like the taste of vegemite."

Having said that to appease you, however, I should like you to know that it isn't strictly true...

Mountain standard time, as in the time zone which corresponds to the Rocky Mountain region of the U.S. That is real time. All others are part of a Satanic conspiracy.

(P.S. Did you guys hear about the hroup of farmers that protested Daylight Savings Time, because the extra hour of sunlight would damage the crops?)

Mountain time...Schmountain time
hey Brim you know what seems odd is when I go see my parents in Bullhead City Arizona and they live about 15 minutes from Laughlin so Laughlin is the same time as California but Bullhead City Arizona is an hour ahead and it seems they are on the border and still when they meet with friends from out of town they end up being an hour early because of it...or even late in some cases especially after they have been out here in California then they go back and forget to set their watches they go to parties late and on and on...
...poor Marcel is on California time, sleeping during the day in the Netherlands and up at night...

Forgivable?! Forgivable?!!!

You heathen! There is nothing better for brekky than a couple of slices of toast, one with honey and the other with vegemite, and a cup of freshly brewed coffee. mmmmmm.

Actually, can you keep a secret? No-one here actually eats that stuff. It's used as axle lubricant mostly, but we tell the rest of the world that we eat it as a huge practical joke to get them to try it. Funny, huh?

Licorice I feel so-so about. I have to have a taste for it, I think.

My stance is not fixed yet. I didn't think a unilateral invasion was the wisest course, but now that it has started I'm hoping for a quick finish.

Rubbish. I was having a beer with Satan (Stan to his mates) the other day, and we discussed his catalogue of schemes nefarious. Time zones was never mentioned!

So did any of you do anything fun this past weekend?
I would just like to share that I went on my treadmill for 45 minutes a while ago and now I feel I am getting chin splints. Aside from the chin splints I have been feeling dizzy ever since I got off the treadmill
I got kicked out of my gym a long time ago and now when i went to join again to use the huge pool for my swimming workout with some friends they said I cant join again because of a past transgression because my guests and I had brought some wine into the jacuzzi area so we lost our memberships...which I guess is not really a problem I'll just go somewhere else, I can swim in my backyard but its hard for 5 of us to do laps in my pool at the same time

That'll learn ya for carousing at the gym. Gyms are for pain, you know, not fun. Pain and perving.

I had a reasonably quiet weekend. The weather was poosome, so I spent it mostly indoors.

the guilty party..

errr... remember the Great Pyramid debate?
I said that's how it used to be, admins have the power to ban at will, if they think it is warranted. Blynn is an admin, she can ban you at will.

But when I was Senior Admin we used to discuss before banning, unless it was an outright troll, you could have been briefly discussed then banned, you don't know what goes on inside the staff room.

Your name could be flagged as a potential troublemaker and the order given that you be banned at the first sign of trouble.

Every person and situation is different, moderators and admins should not use their powers to leverage a debate or abuse them by banning someone not in violation of rules.
