What about flip-flops?

[Cheddarius]

And from my pillow, looking forth by light
Of moon or favouring stars, I could behold
The antechapel where the statue stood
Of Newton with his prism and silent face,
The marble index of a mind for ever
Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.

Look what my mum recently brought up from the pits of hell. I was a demon child.

Pfffff.

Fear me.


Look at the teeth.  I look like a vegetarian vampire.

[Dakk]

Oh god the eyes.

So, the other day we had a crazy thunderstorm (which may or may not have resulted from me playing this on the recorder), which included flash flooding, high winds, and all kinds of lightning. Apparently there was enough localized flooding that Mini-Charbidis made a brief appearance in the middle of my apartment parking lot.



Also, as I was snapping photos of the aftermath, I heard a loud crack, followed by a low, roaring *brakakakakakzt* sound, and a flash of pale green light. After it stopped, I ran over to see what it was, and it happened again; apparently the power transformer in my apartment complex exploded. I wasn't able to catch it on photo, but it looked kinda like this...

...if that were a tangle of pale green lightning that seared the air, stretching taller than a 3-story apartment building. Not a good time to be standing in a nearby puddle, snapping photos of whirlpools.

We lost power, but we did get a really pretty sunset after the sky cleared, though my cellphone camera doesn't really do it justice.

Hah.  Storms, whirlpools and electric wrath all in one day.

You lucky bastard.

This is going to sound really stupid, Solifuge, but what city is that? I think I recognize the apartments.

[Toady One]

I removed some posts.  Dakk has been muted for a week.  Please keep things joyous and wholesome.

[JoshuaFH]

We have free license to be joyous AND wholesome?!

Just think of the possibilities!

Oh yeah, and tough break Dakk.

[ToonyMan]

His drill is the drill that will pierce through the heavens!

This is going to sound really stupid, Solifuge, but what city is that? I think I recognize the apartments.

Ypsilanti Michigan, near Ford Lake (one of the many lakes created by Henry Ford's Hydroelectric Dams). Nice little place, but it makes me wish I had a small canoe, to make use of the boat launch.

Also, a small part of me is sorry that I missed whatever unjoyous/unwholesome things transpired since I was away... but lest I reopen old wounds, perhaps some kind soul would enlighten me via PM?

As it turns out, I do not recognize those places. I'm from the land of cornflakes, Slightly north of due west of you and halfway across the state. Ah, well, it was worth a shot.

It's kinda weird how many Michiganders frequent Bay 12. High time to throw a Midwest US Dwarf Fest, methinks.

[MaximumZero]

I'd be totally okay with that. I lurv to make food, and can do so out of combinations of just about anything, so there's that that could come in handy, anyway.
