I was browsing through a fashion magazine for kids, and the pants for boys really look like bags, hanging on their knees. Fashion is "raar"...

About weer and weder, isn't that the "weer" in the sense of "again"?
When we were reading old English in class, it was quite similar to old Dutch. Or at least readable to Dutch people without having to know a lot of English. But that was a really really old text though.

That's funny, Hector

*wanders tentatively in* helllloooo? where is everybody?

**Mari** · 09-29-2007, 10:17 AM

Hello back! (echo echo echo!)
Just sitting quietly in my corner enjoying the internet for as long as it works. Sit down and have some tea! I just put the kettle on for some more lemontea.

*flops down in a big comfy chair*

The Cafe's been kinda slow lately.

I am sooo dreading the day after thanksgiving

**Mari** · 09-29-2007, 02:41 PM

Why? And when is Thanksgiving anyway?

Miss Cassandra · 09-29-2007, 04:37 PM

Hi y'all!

The time for giving 'thanks' (and stuffing our faces) is November 22nd this year.
I love to cook so its something I always look forward to.

I'm more looking forward to Halloween though...

durinsbane2244 · 09-29-2007, 09:27 PM

hm...is it day-after-thanksgiving-dreading time already? egads...

Acalewia · 09-30-2007, 07:13 PM

We already have the Christmas stuff out. People are going to be ordering their photo gift cards and greeting cards very soon

Nautipus · 09-30-2007, 08:59 PM

In Kentucky (where my dad lives) there was a store selling Christmas stuff in July.

durinsbane2244 · 09-30-2007, 09:12 PM

wow...we haven't put out any holiday or such stuff for sale yet...

Nautipus · 09-30-2007, 09:18 PM

That store's really wierd, I think they're selling pool floats right now, they skipped right over everything else, they just concentrate on the two major events in American culture: Christmas and summer.

hectorberlioz · 10-01-2007, 11:12 AM

Just thought I would post this shocking bit of news

Acalewia · 10-01-2007, 12:23 PM

ROFLMAO

Nautipus, theres a store near where I live that sells Christmas stuff all year long. Thus the name The Christmas Shop

Nautipus · 10-01-2007, 12:28 PM

I guess I'd understand if it was called something like that, but this one's just called The Shop, or The Store. something like that, and they dont sell their stuff year-round, they change.

There is another store up there that's actually called Christmas in July, but I didnt comment on it because I didnt really care because they had a name that made sense. I'm gonna go eat some spaghetti. Later.

By the way, hector, that's a hilarious comic!

Nautipus · 10-01-2007, 12:59 PM

I just saw on TV that there's a drug out there for restless leg syndrome that may cause compulsive gambling. That's about as far-fetched as any side-effect that I've ever seen.

durinsbane2244 · 10-01-2007, 04:53 PM

oh, gracious! someone else has seen the "excessive gambling" pill! none of my friends believe me!

Nautipus · 10-01-2007, 05:43 PM

Thank God! Another witness!

When I saw that commercial I really didnt know what to do with the information, then I put it here and let you guys decide.

"Well hon, I have an uncontrolable urge to go to Vegas and blow my life's savings.......but my legs are fine..."

**Mari** · 10-02-2007, 12:18 PM

Perhaps they have a precedent and to avoid being sued, they put in the side-effects section?
