[color=#000000ost_uid0]I must apologize, apparently I do not speak Smiley. Please translate "three grinney smileys in a row" into English?
[My hunch is that that means "Beware! Purple samurais are abroad!", but I might be wrong.][/colorost_uid0] |

Well, yeah, but they didn't seem to be out of place or anything strange. Not surprising considering that Yahoo's limit of 6 smilies per message cramps my style :suspicious: [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Nic, I've heard you don't have peanut butter in Croatia! :O
Btw, I've also heard you don't have [iost_uid0]speculaas[/iost_uid0]*. Is this true? *The walking talking dictionary beside me would translate that as "a sweet kind of cookie" Just a little vague.[/colorost_uid0]

I would say most countries have a sweet kind of cookie, but that would just be speculaation.[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]I wouldn't describe it as "sweet" myself, but as long as you have a "sweet kind of cookie", you can be pretty sure it's not it.
It seems Australia has it, though. In the category "exotic foods" [/colorost_uid0]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]That`s strange... I clearly saw it on my kitchen table 10 minutes ago, Your source is not entirely correct, since I told the Source itself that only the city of Zagreb (as far as I know) doesn`t have peanut butter. The city of Karlovac, on the other hand, has it, so occasionally I bravely go on a 60 kilometres quest to acquire it, :P (no, not JUST because of the peanut butter) About speculaas and sweet cookies, I`m totally mystified. May I politely inquire: "What the spluck are you talking about?" [/colorost_uid0]

Which goes to show that you should not attempt to transmit information to The Source whilst The Source is juggling four chat windows, two assignments and one blog entry. Data tends to get corrupted. Heh. "Data tends to get corrupted." Sometimes I amuse even myself. And Nic-- correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Zagreb the capital city of Croatia? So how come they don't have peanut butter while this Khazad-whatever city does? Which makes me wonder what other things it has which Nic is interested in, and which the big city doesn't have. Other than orcs, that is. [Don't mind me. I've just come back from the Midterm Of Murder and I'm looking for objects to vent my frustrations on. I will be back to my normal John-bashing, forum-goer THWAP!ping tendencies soon enough.][/colorost_uid0] |
