My God! You people are sad! But that's just MHO. :)

Seriously, though, I used to blow all my time on online talkers (not
that different from #Shadowrun, although we didn't talk games there :)
), and I went to a few 'meets' with people from the talker.

Anyone else notice quite how ugly most of these people are? (Not me, of
course - I have the Good Looking and Knows It edge. :) )

When you start arranging a meet with an online gaming group for anything
besides gaming, you know you need a break. IMHO, of course. :)

On the other hand, Lady J, it could just be jealously because I'm stuck
down here in Sydney and I'm going to have to miss my biweekly gaming fix
tonight.

Heh heh heh heh. :)

*Kiss Doc's butt if he irritates you!*

P.S. Hey, you people still have Sizzler's up there? Can you get me a
Malibu Chicken and ExpressPost it down? :)

Catch the train and join us for lunch. :) Got anything better to do next
weekend?

Oh, I've still got my T-shirt, but that's because I paid 30 bucks for
it, it actually looks good, and my uni friends run the damned thing. :)

Errr...better than wasting 60 or 100 bucks on a, what 10, 12 hour train
trip? You tell me.

Oh, and let me give you a hint - I work full time, so weekends are when
I usually take it easy - or game. :)

of this Kiwi lad all warm and mushy ;-D

Hey, I'm not SERIOUSLY bagging Queenslanders. After all, some of my best
friends are Queenslanders. I've even kissed a Queenslander (it was a
she, dammit!). Of course, none of them were LIVING IN Queensland at the
time...:)

She, or sheep, Doc?

(New South Wales: The only state in Australia to have more sheep/capita than
New Zealand)

(BTW, never assume that I'm standing up for Queensland. I'm not a Queensland
native, I just happen to work here)

She. Remember, she came from Queensland. Frisky little thing, especially
considering that she was older than me, and that I was going out with
another girl at the time (lucky she never found out about that -
although we no longer see each other anymore). That's right, ladies, the
Doc' is on the market again...:)

Perhaps - but we kill them and - unless you're me - eat them. No sheep
fondling down here (except in certain country towns, when people are
really drunk and lonely).

I'm not a NSW native either. My meat just happens to reside here. Who
knows where the rest of me is at?

*Doc' gets run down by a truck as he is crossing the road, because, as
usual, he's daydreaming. That's right, daydreaming. No, that dreamy
expression does NOT mean he is constipated.*

P.S. Did you hear the one about the mathematician with constipation?

Be careful there Doc. Remember... I know where you live.
You don't want to wake up with a cockatrice head in your
bed then be real careful about upsetting the family... :)

Count me in Lady J for the Brisbane Shadowrun Mafia Luncheon.
One problem though, Sizzler doesn't accept bookings.

EVERYWHERE.

now as a Newcastle (NSW) lad, the nearest HJ's is 30 minutes drive away. And
i hate that processed crap the Macdonald's push.
So, Lady J, please express parcel a Double Whopper with cheese, no pickle...
