Greetings, everyone! I'm back on a periodical visit.
In a sense, I've been taking a sort of vacation from Entmoot, as this Presidential campaign has gotten me a little too involved in the politics and it's gone off and upset me, and so I needed a break to enjoy the finer things in life. (Yes, I've even experimented in the capitalist dark arts by buying happiness via spending large amounts of money on souveniers and food and frozen orange smoothies, with limited, almost negligible success.) And so, I will now be coming around a bit more, even though I don't plan to catch up much (I'm up to date on the quote fight, as I've spoken to both Hector and Durino).

Hello all

I'm sort of visiting too...for a little while, I might be on for a while considering I work at a library where I can just chillax and play on the computer so hopefully I'll be seeing you guys.

So um..TB how is the campaign going?? As a public service I've been storing the propaganda in a deep freeze while writing my tell-all books about public service...basically we need to work out time line.

It's going okay-ish. I think my constitution hurt more than helped, but other than that, it's the only one that actually appears to be going anywhere, if we're somewhat behind.

yes, the constitution I saved that as pdf meaning to finish, still only got through the preamble, I debated whether to read it at all considering most legal declarations are bound to be rewritten and summarized before ratification, however I forgot we were more or less supporting a socialistic scientific monarchy, so I'd better go over it again.

Indeed.
A PDF, did you say? Those are excellent for this sort of thing!

Don't tell me: you beat it up every night

...use it as a voodoo doll?

durinsbane2244 · 08-28-2007, 07:02 PM

...weak. not worth a response, that.

Speaking of voodoo dolls: here things like skulls and voodoo dolls are all the rage, and with certain magazines you can get little presents.
Yesterday there was a newsitem about one such present: a voodoo doll. But in some more religious villages they took those presents off, because it would offend to many values.

But you might want to try those for the library. Get the girl next to you really crazy

I'll have to look that up. I could have blast with it at work, esp when we have nothing to do

Btw Mari, where are you that they give away vodoo dolls?

Senate

...sometimes jealous colleagues will have a voodoo doll handy, and they will wish bad luck on thier rivals...where do you think all the scandals come from?

Acalewia · 08-29-2007, 05:20 PM

We don't have a senate in the Netherlands.

But I do know some places where I could make use of them... I really don't like my professor for instance. Mwuhahaha! *laughs evilly while contemplating the possibilities*

Aren't voodoo dolls and the like all the rage in America or whereever you are from then?
Here you can find skulls etc. even on babyclothes! It was the same in Japan.

Acalewia · 08-30-2007, 11:23 AM

I could have sworn I posted here last night

Vodoo dolls are all the rage in New Orleans.

I'm not sure about anywhere else in the US. Skull and crossbones are on everything nowadays along with the dagger and heart.

hectorberlioz · 08-30-2007, 05:00 PM

I thought this was great
