Yeah, we've got a thread dealing with that pilar of faith.

I'm waiting for a "redneck" sub-language wherein students can answer tests in "Squidbilly".

Actually, I'm an indie kid at heart. I just don't do scenesterism

I see. Welcome to Flare, let's check the proper protocols for precedents. *pffft* *cough-cough*
Right. Um, wave your stick about you at all times, don't accept gifts unless cleared by the warden, the buffet in the Officer's lounge is free.
The Flameboard provides steady fresh air from stout windbags, if it gets stormy just stay the course and all usually ends well on page 4. There used to be fresh crow but no one knows where it went.

The "Forum Competitions" section contains nuts (ok so shoot me) and you'd better stay away from its "history" function, you'd be fine but we'd lose face.

The rest, the Star Trek subdivisions and the general sci-fi is all low-carb, hi-protein, hi-fat fun (south beach diet yay), again with fresh windbags, broken records and a few hot potatoes. For cheese and whine there's the "Starships and tech" room.

I'm over at the "Star Wars" kiosk, well maybe not kiosk but like a stand, or a small table...the contents on which gets replaced every three years like clockwork, just when we got used to it. Ok not replaced, maybe scrambled about a bit.

So, that's it. Post long and often, forget spelling and punctuation and do feed the trolls. They're famished from the meager fare of spam, salesmen, idealists and spam.

Interests: I'll try most things once, unless they're seafood.

Anyone want to field this one? I'm married, and not allowed to make such comments.

I'll try most anything once, except seafood as well. That stuff is fucking creepy man!

I feel so... loved... [Razz]

(And yes, Da_bang, seafood is creepy. Fish are just gross, but shellfish... *shudders*
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
Just tell people you keep kosher. Shellfish are treyf.
 
Posted by HopefulNebula (Member # 1933) on :
 
Yes, but see, I like ham and cheese. Together (although the ham alone would be bad enough). Between slices of bread...

How did this get started again? [Razz]
 
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
 
This always happens. Discussions about Wolf 3259 end up talking about how the yen matched the peso or some such.

Well after all, the Federation doesn't seem to have a type of currency. Maybe they use Republic credits?
 
Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :
 
The Federation has Credits, too. It's Earth that doesn't use money any more.

Omg Yes! SO creepy. Lobster and Crab really get me freaked though. Well, pretty much anything with it's skeleton on the outside is just SICK and WRONG on a million seperate levels. Just picturing those creepy six legged, pinchy little monsters with thier beedy little eyes and those nastyass antennae. *Ugh!* *Double Shudder*

But Earth is part of the Federation, isn't it?
 
Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :
 
Earth's relationship to the Federation is not like, say, Florida's relationshp to the United States. The Federation is a political and economic alliance of independent member worlds. It's more like the U.S.' relationshp to the U.N., if the U.N. had its own global currency that all the member nations used for trade.

Reason not to eat seafood #57 : Creepiness.

Posted by HopefulNebula (Member # 1933) on :
 
Ah, so more like how the UK is part of the EU but doesn't use the Euro?
 
Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :
 
If the U.K. had abundant free energy and replicator technology, and didn't NEED any currency within their society. [Smile]

And all this time I thought the Federation had a centralized form of government. But then it brings up the question, could a member nation of the UFP leave if it wanted too?
 
Posted by Peregrinus (Member # 504) on :
 
I think we may have seen that happen, or threaten to happen.

And the U.N. having their General Assembly in New York City isn't centralised?

New England fried clam, Louisiana hot shrimps, Lobster Newberg, clam chowder.
Jambalaya, Gumbo (with extra tabasco and cayenne pepper), sizzling Grembapemba.

Every one of them pearls abound in these peoples' lands. *Stewiemode* "GOD!"

Regarding the lessening of NZ lit standards, you wouldn't believe how many borrowed vogue words/sentences my people have assimilated from your precious Sex und the City, Friends and Desperate Housewives.
The pathetic subway paper columns are rife with them. Swedish and english, dancing together in some dirty mosh pit.
And don't think we don't have our own problems with instant message lingo and comp slang spilling over into every other forum in existence.
Except the obituaries. I think.

It's payback for the Swedish Chef. My generation STILL uses "Bork, bork, bork!!"

Is lobster Newberg some sort of cousin to lobster Zoidberg?
