The Terminals - "Coasts of the Shrunken"

I spent a whole year feeling like a 34 year old man... Some time around `02 - `03. Doesn't seem to have done me any harm...

then again I'm probably not the best judge of what other people would think "weird"...

You can do a lot worse than learning a trade... I don't know about America but there's a chronic shortage of tradesmen (electricians, etc.) down here. Again, I don't know about America, but around here there are such things as electrical engineers' courses at polytech. (I've got a friend who just go...

Midnight's just a metaphor, a "what if". He's a lot hairier and a fair bit less grouchy than the cantankerous middle-aged bloke who sits behind the keyboard.

I'd guess that the fillings and stuff would be the wrong shape for a wolf's teeth, and would either break off and fall out or be rejected outright by the shifting teeth. Cavities... I'm not sure whether shifting would reverse the effects of decay or just carry them over into the other form. Would be...

The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy You've seen it? Is it better than the terrible movie? Is there anywhere where I can see it online? I saw it back when it first aired here some time in the early `eighties. I enjoyed it, but then I also quite enjoyed the film so I don't know whether you'd like i...

Sounds like the two of you need to have a good talk... And more importantly, a good listen to each other. Somewhere that you aren't going to be interrupted or overheard by anyone. Otherwise it's probably not the best idea to post your private messages in public... you might want to think about editi...

These aren't reasons to upgrade: It won't help you with story ideas Find me an OS that does and it will be "TTFN, XP"... These aren't reasons to avoid upgrading: 2. Because so-and-so running the Beta version in November 2006 installed it and its printer driver caused his Hewlett Packard P...

"Liam" looks like it would be somebody's name... It's a not uncommon Irish name. Like Liam Neeson for example.

If a WW is in Gestalt form and, say, looses a hand while he's still alive. Doe the hand stay in Gesalt form or does it go back to the original form? Any body part - what happens if it's separated from the host while the host is in Gestalt form? If we're talking about a scientific (as opposed to mag...

The rest of the world hates America Sigh . Not this crap again. (As before, I'm taking issue with the statement, not the person who posted it, so it's going here instead. Maybe this time it won't get deleted.) You're trying to tell me that I, as one of the 6,000,000,000 or so people in "the re...

Nearly total agreement with the above. Milk is OK if there's nothing else, but nothing beats the good dark stuff.

Just checked Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sooty_shearwater - and it doesn't mention that bit so I might be confusing it with something else (or something pre-refrigeration). Doesn't stop them smelling bad though.

No mutton unfortunately (it would be a lot better if it did!). I think the basic idea is a sooty shearwater chick, salted and preserved in its own fat. I prefer to avoid having anything to do with them.

Celtic stuff can also work; Loreena McKennitt, the bagpipy part of The Church's "Under the Milky Way," Completely off topic, but much respect to Scott for knowing that song. Great listening. Trying to think of something actually relevant... I've got a bit of a scenario running through my ...

The most (in)famous local dish is the muttonbird. I wouldn't recommend it though... the things stink to high heaven.

I voted "none". Not because of not liking horror - I've got no problem with a good werewolf horror movie... have seen a few of them... "Dog Soldiers" was good fun, for example... but there's been a real shortage of anything else . I'd like to see more thrillers and character dram...

Nacho: just remember it once you're 18 (or whatever the voting age is over there). RedEye: well said. Arcane: I don't think this guy's doing it for hunters. I think he's doing it for people who want to make money off hunters. Parasites, in other words. I've got friends at work who are hunters. They ...

Pop Art Toasters - "Circles"

All we have around here are birds, cats and insects... and I don't really relish the thought of changing into any of them. (Sorry to the cat people around here). Despite being so stereotypical I'd go for the classic: a wolf. Hardly anyone around here would know what a wolf looks like (even I'd proba...

Well this all looks mostly 18 months or so old, so I suppose everything has already been decided... but my 10c worth would basically be: no matter who it is who takes over management of the Pack site, ABrownrigg should have some sort of recognition for kicking the idea off in the first place, even i...

... oh wait... I'm on the wrong side of the world... darn.

Nacho... that means you've got more of a hope at fixing the situation than the rest of us... just remember this the next time you vote.
