OT - Tigg-scoff birthday party

[dogscoff]

After a week of frantic preparation, the Tigg-scoff bithday party is ready to begin. The gates to the Party palace are thrown open and the jostling masses outside are admitted. Creatures of all species and persuasions from across the galaxy file in and seat themselves at the plush tables, admiring he opulent decorations and attractions around them.

The giant rotating Kylie statue is the centrepiece, squirting out champagne as planned. Teams of cheerleaders can be seen on the sidelines, practising their moves for later when they will support the FBW tag wrestling tournament.

Screams, followed by the gurglings of auto-cloners can be faintly heard as competitors in the Bill Gatres clone creative pain threshold competition practise for the big event.

Hundreds of "Tiggettes" - sexy women in little more than Tiger ears and tails - are performing amazing feats of trapezery above the tables.

Everyone is just starting to get into the swing of things when the music stops and a drum roll commences. It breaks into funky music and the dimmed lights give way to lasers and spotlights which pick out the first guest of honour. It's Dogscoff. He makes his way through the crowd, shaking hands and receiving thanks for the party along the way. Doris (his Valkyrie personal wellfare enforcement officer) follows, wearing slinky black number which not only shows off her impressive curves but her terrifying array of concealed weapons. Dogscoff eventually arrives at the central table, which overlooks the honey-filled wrestling pit and has still an empty seat reserved for Growltigga. The party can't start until he's here. I'm sure he'll make a good entrance...

[Growltigga]

Like the first ripples upon the waters of the ocean which lead to mightiest tsunamis, a wave of silence echoes out across the party palace, gathering strength as it grows. All fall quiet, the cheerleaders stop cheerleading, the Bill Gates-clone abUsers stop abusing, the FBW wrestlers stop rubbing in the baby oil... all is quiet.

All heads look upwards, shifting shafts of shimmering fire are weaving across the heavens, sparking in the night in glittering bursts of actinic fire. The crowds tremble for verily, they are aware that they are now in the presence of majesty, glory and power in all its incarnations. The chiaroscuro of lights coalesces and focuses on one glittering point, a ball of fire gathers there and the crowds can feel that something great and wonderful is beginning to form there.

The silence is shattered by the most god-almightly loudest guitar powerchord in the history of mankind, a guitar shaped starship erupts from the glowing ball of fire and on the flat top deck, a tuxedo-clad Growltigga can be seen standing, with Sophie Marceau, Ines Sastre, Claudia Schiffer, Heidi Klum and Cindy Crawford arrayed artfully at his feet. Around him, the reformed members of Queen launch into "We will rock you" and the crowd go wild.

The spaceship settles by the VIP suite and Growltigga, looking more debonaire than Piers Brosnan and more sexy than Brad Pitt, walks over to his seat. He nods to Dogscoff and raises his arms, all goes quiet again as the mighty kat turns to faces the adoring crowds...

"Courtesy of Tigg-Scoff plc, let the party begin, the bar is free all night"

Hundreds are trampled in the ensuing stampede

[dogscoff]

the reformed members of Queen launch into "We will rock you"
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Umm... some of the members of queen will require more reforming than others, if you know what I mean. Maybe you got hold of some authentic genetic material for the auto-cloner...

With a fanfare, the preliminary bouts of the FBW tag-wrestling begin. Four fully oiled FBWs begin writhing around at the bottom of the honey-pit, with one of the delightful Cue Cappan girls from Madame Ooloo's acting as referee. The crowd goes silent at the spectacle, and Dogscoff has to physically restrain Tigga, who is ready to use the diving board straight away. "Save it for later, mate. Trust me, it will be worth it..."

And don't forget kids, the whole event is being broadcast live on Pay-Per-View!!! All profits go to an adorable little charity, "Viagra for Aging Tigers"! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

And, of course, select freeze-frames will be captured and stored in special vaults protected by stasis fields; said storage to continue as long as periodic donations are made to the "Gryphin Position Memorial Fund" and "Circle the Wagons Beauty School Scholarship Program". All donations, initial and periodic, may be addressed to Tigg-Scoff PLC... but don't go claiming these donations on your tax forms, as Barry is getting indigestion from dining on revenue agents...

sounds of very happy partying Tigga cavorting on dancefloor with bevy of beauties whilst clutching a champagne bottle fade into distance

[Taz-in-Space]

...Suddenly a loud roaring sound is heard from outside the building. A few of the less enebriated guests look out the windows and see what looks like a small tornado approaching fast.
Said minature cyclone enters through the door (No time to open it!) and, pausing only slightly before the statue, makes it's way to the center of the festival. With one final flurry of activity, it tosses out all kinds of party hats, favors, confetti, amd noise-makers and resolves itself into... The TAZ.

Weeehoooo! LLEEEEEEETTTTTTSSSS PPPPAAAAARRRRRRTTTTTTYYYYY!!!!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Kylie?? where'd she come from

Growltigga and Kylie break into dance routine from "Cant get you out of my head"

[mac5732]

Old Mac is sitting at his table, Liz Hurley look a like on his lap, 2 super large bowlsof chili,1 with Tesco's sauce and the other with Puke's in front of him, a pitcher of ice cold Coors, Party hat upon his noggin, party favors scattered all around, singing most blusterously, tapping his feet to the music which in turn caused the LH look a like on his lap to jiggle most deliciously, watching the Tigga gyrate his anatamy all over the dance floor in some sort of barbaric ritual and toting a mug of some type of liquid refreshment in each paw. AAHhh can't get much better the this, Where's that old Dogscoff, passed out in a cornor somewhere, he should be joining the "KAT" out on the dance floor with some lucious vixen on his arm....

the dulcet tones of 'Girl from Ipanema' echoes round the auditorium as the party settles down for the first slow dance 'erection section' of the evening, Growltigga glides past, rose in his teeth, Ines Sastre on one arm, Heidi Klum on the other and Kylie Minogue sitting on his shoulder

[Timstone]

After Timstone drank enough beer he wanders to the DJ booth and asks him to play real dance music.
Within a few secs Deep Project, Groove Coverage, Fluke, Public Domain and Brooklyn Bounce resound throughout the auditorium. Like a regular partyanimal Timstone dances (?) with his girlfriend across the dancefloor. Knocking the occasional visitor of his/her feet (hey, what can I say they were in the way!). After all the requested songs were played by the almighty soundcontroling DJ, Timstone and his girlfriend cool down with a nice extra large beer.
Wow, what a party guys, give me more!
Salute to Growltigga and Dogscoff!

[Trajan]

Trajan runs into the party, appologizes for his tardiness, and begins to imbibe fine english Ale, begore the bar is closed.

Mac,

IMHO---
The only real cure for hang-overs (other than not drinking in the 1st place) is sleep and youth. As I have gotten older (33 now) my hangovers have gotten substantially more debilitating. There sooooo many cures for symptoms of hang-over but nothing makes it totally go away until I sleep it off.

This site provides a several answers: http://www.hungover.net/top10_readers.asp

There are two relyable methods for avoiding or reducing hangovers:
1) Abstenance
2) Drink as much water as you do alcahol.

P.E. Shang, I've never heard of that remedy before, I shall remember and try your most illustrious enlightenment on this subject.

D.T. I shall leave that up to the rest of the party goers to decide, as yours trully is not up to making a decision right now http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif But I must admit in my regards, that, Indeed somethings at the present time do appear to be double or triple, hmmmm where did that L.H. look a like go http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

The Gyphin, abstinence is not allowed during the riotous, gyrating, swishing, celebrations of birthday bashes with those who engage in the ageing process. (especially after one pass 30, let alone those years that come after the nexes of 50 ughhhhhhh) does it help? NOPE, but it sure is fun trying to regress back to ones younger, carefree, wild, lustful days of yester-year.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Its only the morning after that makes one swear additional oaths of "never again" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Now in addition to the light speed of viewing and the thundrous roar of a cat walking across the cantina floor, I find myself utilizing the Inner Sanctum in very observant haste to engage the tidy bowl diety in regards to my glutonous and wanton digestion of chili with Tesco's and Puke's sauces while researching which of the two ..... Excuse me a momento..... OUTA MY WAY..., MOVE......,,,

(Inner Sanctum Door Slams) all is quiet, a FBW walks over and turns on all the fans within the cantina..... Taz, removes a new box of air fresheners and begins handing them out to the other FBWs, he also appears to be studying the "ON..." (word is not printable unless one wishes for strange happenings upon oneself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif ) for removal of undesirable air streams currently flowing within said establishment...... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

A rumbling noise can be heard from a far. Mac looks on as his dentures rattle in his glass ala Jarrasic Park, taz stops spinning and barry cowers behind a Tigg Scoff battle crusier. All of a sudden a huge transport ship hovers above the party, leaving many regulars seconds to move their ships. It slowly parks and the smoke clears, The party stops and for a minute their is silence, except dogscoff yelping in the background from "special attention".

The next few minutes are field with everyones eyes and mouths on the floor as a couple of thousand newly appointed fbw's run out. RD walks over to GT.

"Sorry i been late, kinda been down. But heres the best selection of girls from my empire, GT is a god as far as women are concerned there."
GT Happily signs the relevant forms to take control of the new arrivals.
"Anyway the other FBW's must be getting tired, plus i had to surrender lol to my friends empire, so they won't be pleased to find a system of ugly women."

GT Recruits a couple of hundred and asks them to come in 5 at a timeto his "office"

Thats gonna be one happy cat http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Growltigga]

IM SMILING, IM SMILING

To paraphrase Tony the Tiger of Frosties fame, "FBW's, 5 at once, theeeeyyyyyyyyrrreeeee GREEEAAAATTTTTTT"

[Growltigga]

Yeah, we must investigate this. Whilst the rest of us danced the night away at the party, you must have been kidnapped and beamed with the kinkapoo joygun (installed at the back of the cantina for particularily querulous clientele) to make you think you were having a good time and partaking on the Gryphin position with assorted FBWs and WIRs

Thinking about it, I dont actually think the person who gave us the stageshow of the Gryphin position was you.. thinking about it, there was a funny smell in the air at the time, a bit like parmesan cheese, and there was an empty bowl of chilli by the stage as well as a bottle of a 'brewski' whatever that might be...

and thinking about it further, the poor FBW's did look like they had been shot with a "forgetto beam"

Hmmmm, elementary my dear Gryphin, Mac wanted to take your place for TGP and CTW show, he obviously inconvenienced you, knocked out the FBWs and then stole your, ahem, thunder...

My esteemed legal synopsis would suggest repeated beating with a large baseball bat with 9 inch nails banged through it as suitable punishment

[ September 20, 2002, 13:02: Message edited by: Growltigga ]

[Gryphin]

Since I am unable to partake in cartoon violence I will have to ask someone to stand in for me.
Any volunteers?

[Growltigga]

you want volunteers for beating Mac round the head with a baseball bat studded with 9 inch nails, why kind sir, I do beleive I will happily take over that service for you as suitable recompense for earlier legal advice provided to you

Now, where is that CTW glory stealing philandering sycophantic FBW-abusing amnesia-inducing, shindle shanked smelly old tosspot Mac when you need to give him legal correction? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[Timstone]

Hey! Don't hurt that poor old Mac! He's too old to witstand your punishment!
Shame on you guys, partaking in assaulting elderly citizens of this cantina! But also shame on Mac for abusing his fellow visitor of the great TiggScoff party!
I say lonely incarseration for about 7 days.

[Growltigga]

Timstone, objection overruled.

Mac has cheated our chum Gryphin from showing off the famed 'Gryphin position' himself. You should realise that the whole cantina concept originated from the revelation about 'circling the wagons', the 'gryphin position' and 'furry line dancing'. To cheat Gryphin from his moment of glory is a heinous, foul, immoral and mortal offence indeed.

By partaking in the 'Gryphin position' at the Tig-Scoff party, Mac had shown that he has stamina and is hale enough to be chastised by repeated blows with a baseball bat studded with 9 inch nails.

An offence like Mac's needed appropriate punishment, but the trouble is knowing Mac, he might well enjoy it.

[Timstone]

Okay, I understand.
Then give a beer and I'll be happy again.

[mac5732]

Blame the old guy huh???? pick on us old timers. sheeeesseeee

The evidence is put forth by a lawyer for pete's sake, thats says it all http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Contrary to the ascertations of one furry, halucinating feline, I must confess that during the time in question, yours truly was quite drunk to the point where he was in never never land dreaming about Liz Hurly...., and therefore was in no proper condition to conduct any type of research into demonstrating the CTW or TGP.

However, investigating the evidence as put forth by one who is covered in fur and a questionable lawyer to boot http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif , it seems that some unscruplulous rascal partook upon himself the expediant performance of hands on refreshment in regards to expiditing his enjoyment by incorporating himself into said demonstrations. In regards to the evidence found, Yours truly would have only been up to finding his way to the inner sanctum and the tidy bowl diety due to the chili cuisine along with numerous brewskis that were imbibed upon during said bash. In looking further into this allegation, I have researshed the whereabouts of certain members of the cantina and have found the following to be without upstanding and solid alibis.

Tesco
Saxon
Memphisto
Puke
Geo
Dogscoff

Any of the aforementioned, or for that matter, all of them could have perpetrated this type of mischief. I say all as there were more then one FBW involved in the demonstrations (of which I must state I missed due to incapacitation http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ), and therefore a group excercise in the demonstrations would not be out of the question. I have interrogated some of the FBW involved and they have provided some knowledge that might enhance the apprehension or indentification of said perpetrators. However, all of the above must be questioned lst in order to ascertain they side before further investigation is conducted.

Now who do YOU think it was from the above list? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif or was it someone else http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/confused.gif

a still recovering mac

[Growltigga]

Hmmmm... your aged incapacity, doubtful smell and poor standards of personal hygiene do make it exceedingly unlikely that a FBW, even under the influence of the forgetto beam or even, dare I mention that which must not be mentioned (the dreaded nymphobeam), would go near you let alone engage in any naughty acts..

You still get whalloped round the head with the naily baseball bat for casting dispersions on my career and my integrity. Only paying clients can do the latter.

I think it was Saxon. Anyone who kisses Moose is capable of anything, and one of the most apt adages in England is the one that goes "never trust a Canadian"

Hmm,
Speculating, Maybe somebody "beamed" me and I missed the party? Who would do such a thing?
The must be an Investigation!!!!

[dogscoff]

*Gradually, the bizarre dreams and string of meaningless sounds that have been streaming through his conciousness begin to seperate, and Dogscoff is able to discern that he is now awake and somewhere very noisy. As conciousness returns further and his senses begin to report back, he learns more things: That he is lying face down, that his limbs are reluctant to move and that it feels like someone is dynamite-fishing in his head. Also, evidence from his taste buds indicates that someone has been using his mouth as a recepticle for month-old chinese restaurant leftovers.

When he can put it off no longer, he opens his eyes. Yes, he definitely is lying face down, that's definitely the floor. Why is it flashing orange though? He blinks a few times and it doesn't stop flashing. A loud rumbling noise ends in a sharp pain in the ribs and what can only be swearing in some language Dogscoff does not recognise. He moves his head to see a big grey lump behind the luggage cart which has just been shoved into his body. The lump speaks, in broken English:

"Hey! Get you out my way."
"Where am I?"
"You in my way, sticky human-man. You get out my way."
"What day is it?"
"It Saturday. You get out my way or I get security move you."
"Saturday? Last thing I remember it was Tuesday. There were these girls, and then 'Tigga opened a bottle of Vaxin Absynthe..."
"Shut up you talking and get you out my way, sticky human-man. I call security."

Registering pain with every movement, Dogscoff pulls himself into a crawling position and drags himself out of the Druckshokan's path. This action is made even more difficult by the layer of stale honey which coats his entire body. He notes a trail of honey leading from his current position to a waste disposal chute. "That would explain why I'm covered in rubbish" he thinks sourly, "but not why I'm naked, nor why I have these three extra arms."
Fragmented memories of a seedy tattoo & prosthetic parlour on some Xiati world come back to him. He was fed up going back to the bar again and again on large rounds, and wanted to be able to carry more drinks. Where was that?
"Where am I?" He asks again, as the Drukshockan with the luggage cart moves through the honey trail.
"You in spaceport, stupid sticky human-man."
"What planet?"
"What planet? You stupid stupid sticky stupid human-man. You on planet Mee Nogle. System Kye Lee Li. West Druckshockan Territory. Official most boring colonised planet in Galaxy."
"But that's more than 800 light years away. Where's my ship? Where are my Underwater minions? Where are the girls from the party..?"

The Druckshockan mutters more insults and shuffles off across the ship loading area to a small transport which is waiting for its Last few passengers. Dogscoff looks up to see a departure board. The transport's number is up there, and it is already 5 minutes late. The ramp closes behind its Last passenger, and the orange flashing hazard lights die as the ship lifts into the air. Dogscoff looks back to the departures board. The transport's details disappear and are replaced by those of the next flight. It's an Abbidon freighter heading into Zynarra space. It arrives here in just over 3 months. 3 MONTHS..?

Dogscoff slumps back into his honey-puddle and wonders if he can sleep for that long...

the camera pans across a marble tiled bedroom the size of a small aircraft hangar, a superb super-king-sized bed with white satin sheets sits pride of place.

The bed is currently occupied by a gaggle of naked beauties who are looking askance toward the en-suite bathroom door...

the silence is broken by horrible wretching noises, magnified by the pristine stonework of the bathroom, 'hucka hucka hucka hucka bluurrrghh buick buick buick buick bllooorrrrrhhhhgg snivel groooooaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrr'

Yep, in true party stle, Tigga had 'minesweeped' everybody else's drinks at the end of the do

[Timstone]

Okay let's straithen things out a bit here.
Because I asked too many questions about a few women who were mentioned by e certain member, I was considered a lonely heart and I shouldn't talk so much about women. Well that's okay with me, I can take that. But... GT is talking about naked beauties, many women, new employees in need of "testing" and such all the time! Now this can mean only one thing:
Bad marriage and much frustration because of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Growltigga]

Not at all, me and the current Mrs GT (as in the one I am married to at present, rather than with any electrical connotation!!) are happy as a bunch of happy things..

The fundamental difference is that I am just dreaming about meeting lots of famous super-models who miraculously, just want to go to bed with me.. you however, want to really meet girls to go to bed with you

[Timstone]

I haven't finished my homework yet (bad me), but I've already done a search on the Gryphin Position. I couldn't find it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif
Now I'm even more curious (that's not because of the sprinkles).P.S. Lawyers aren't suppose to be alround-nice-guys. The are the most disgusting breed of man on this face of the Earth.

To quote again:
Blade II:
"Are you human?"
"Barely... I'm a lawyer."

[Growltigga]

Is this 'lawyers are the most disgusting breed of man" just before I disembowel you and nail your testicles to the top of that pillar in the Mundplein? or 'lawyers are the most disgusting breed of man" just before I take that gearbox you are working on and stick right up your backside, sideways, whilst covered in jalapenos and with the rest of the internal combustion engine behind it?

[Timstone]

Oh, never tried that before. Could be fun. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
Okay, lawyers are necessary evil in our modern society. But that doesn't make them allround-nice-guys.

While Timstone gave his perspective on the matter, he sees an angry mod forming in front of him. Timstone slowely stops with talking and decides to apologise to Growltigga.
"Sorry mate, I should be so hard on you. Not everything was meant. But hey, the truth is hard."
When he realised what he had said he slammed himself on the head and made a run for his live to his ship. "Damn, that was close." Once inside he decided to take some looong trips to earn himself some money. That way the angry mod could cool off. "I'll show my face again when everything has calmed down."

[Growltigga]

and Growltigga sniggers as Timstone's ship disappears into the galactic night, closely followed by a spread of Growltigga's infallible "Anti Chocolate Sprinkle Coated Dutchman" super-sneaker seeker missiles..

High in the night sky, an explosion erupts like a pin-prick of light, and Growltigga considers that at least there is more nieuw haring for the rest of us

[Timstone]

Ouch, that hurts. You just attempted to blow up a regular customer. It will take a while before the person in question will be recovered enough to visit your establishment again.
Oh, and it is Nieuwe Haring. It's really tasty. Not bad for a lawyer. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Growltigga]

Timstone, you should be amazed that as an Englishman, I know what nieuwe haring is, let alone am able to spell it.

You were too young to drink in the cantina anyway.

[Timstone]

Too young?! Hmm... I'm considering some serious tiger-hunting right now. Such a trophy should hang nicely above the fireplace.
With the tender age of 23 I'm allowed to drink as much as I want, even in England.

[Gryphin]

"electrical connotation!!) ",
You know that denying it only makes it wourse.

[Timstone]

Aha, yes. Well I still think you're a little bit frustrated. Otherwise you wouldn't have to dream about famous women in your bed. If you're content with you current wife, then you won't need any dreams about other women. Or are you so long married that your wife is getting dull? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Growltigga]

No, she is not dull at all, it is just that she is always dreaming about Brad Pitt and Piers Brosnan

Word to the wise Timstone, just cos you are married, doesn't mean you stop dreaming, even if you married Karen Mueller, you would still be having clandestine dreams about someone else

Fact of life

[Gryphin]

Timstone ,
Not to get OT on this but:
Trust me, (I'm 48), and now have the most incredibley satisfying intamate relationship I have ever, had. I still think / joke / imagine other people, places, postions.
Do a search on the "Grphyin Postion". Do you really think it is entirely made up?

Edit: Um, should I delet this post?

[ September 23, 2002, 12:33: Message edited by: Gryphin ]

[Growltigga]

Timstone, DONT do a search on 'the Gryphin position'

He told me what is was and I am still having recurring nightmares as well as ambivalent feelings toward cucumbers

[Timstone]

Hahaha... I'm really getting curious about the Gryphin Position. Hmm... I think I'll do a search when I'm done with my homework.

[Growltigga]

Timstone, you have been warned so on your head be it if it upsets you..

Keep in mind that as a Dutchman, you must try the Gryphin position with lots of chocolate sprinkles http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

..and, you have to remember that I AM hamming things up for the character of Growltigga you know.. I dont really own a cantina full of giant squid, Liz Hurley lookalikes nor do I make an extremely attractive living by selling slightly alcoholic carbonated urine to the Americans in lieu of beer.. (strange that one)..

I AM however a good looking, charming, suave, 'butter wouldn't melt in his mouth', dynamic, thrusting, witty, urbane, humourous and generally all-round-regular-guy type of lawyer

[Growltigga]

23 and you still doing homework?? are you a bit of a late starter or something? at 23, I already had my first proper really huge overdraft!

[Timstone]

Yes at 23 I'm still doing homework. It's not even my Last year. I know I'm a bit slow, but that doens't matter now does it?!

[Growltigga]

Not at all, there are many times Timstone when I dreamed of doing homework on a gearbox

[Timstone]

Hey! Don't you dare critisising my beloved gearbox! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif
I'm very proud on my study and if I may say so, it's the best study mankind has ever divised!
You could say the whole of mankind is build on my study.
Oh, my study is mechanical engineering.

[Growltigga]

I guessed. Do you want to know something? I first went to University as a mechanical engineer. I still have the record for the fastest dropped course I have been told. It took me 3 hours to realise that me and engineering went together like Gryphin and linedancing

I am so glad I did law instead

[Timstone]

Oh well, everyone his/her own mistakes, hehe
I plan on doing this untill I find another cool study, but that is very unlikely to happen, so I think I'll stick to this. It freaking rulezzz! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Growltigga]

hmmm, I see you are living proof that the laws relating to partaking in modern hallucogenic pharmaceuticals are getting more relaxed in Holland than we thought

mechanical engineering? freakin' rules?

strange, awfully strange

[Timstone]

hahaha... do remeber you're one of the foulest breeds mankind ever produced. I'm just high of the best carreer choice someone could ever make. Hey, there has been a shortage of engineers for about 5 years now and it's jst getting worse. So, a job is no problem. They will be for the picking.

And the pot, wheed, and other mind blowing stuff is not very popular with me. But most of the tourist in Amsterdam are there coz of the posibility they can buy it there. Hey, why should I be against it?! The country is getting revenue from it (from the very, very small percentage of so called green stores) and everybody is happy. Holland is great, I'm great and my carreer choice is great! But i won't go as far as saying that live's great. For that there is something missing, but that is another story.
