You see dead people? The generic ink-blot thread

I know I already posted this on OG, but bear with me, I've my reasons for copying and pasting this. Think of it as something I like to call: a quest for knowledge.™ I'll post the non-scientific results and impressions within a few days. I'll also be conducting this here thread in a few other abandon...

I got another milk story, Chroelle :D Don't bother reading this one, Dot; you must've read it some 2-3 days ago =D When I first came to Holland, I was a bit surprised at how many Spanish-sounding words they had here.

This is a yearbook pic of me 5-6 years ago. I can't remember what it was, but I remember having better things to do than to go to school on picture day, so when I came back they snapped my pic with an el-cheapo camera, hence the blurriness. My passport expires in 2010, so I guess that's the next tim...

If it's the typical random rubbish, then no thanks (unless you think it deserves marks for effort). To this day, I've only gotten one spam-short story that made sense. It was about two lesbians teachers meating up in a hostel in Amsterdam. Quite interesting at first, but then the writer had a heckuv...

If any of you ever get one of those spam emails full of progressive poetry and post-modern literature, tell me about it: I'm majoring in post-impressionist spam dialectics.

Level 7 Plunger of Tenacity!!!

A friend of mine recently told me about a new RPG game called Oblivion. The graphics were pretty sharp, but I had next to no interest in playing it despite my friend's claims that it was "really good". The reason is simple: the game offers nothing new other than better looking landscapes, ...

I am interested to hear what this loophole was? There's more to this story than I remember; something about on law taking precedence over the other; technicalities and the like.

I know a good one, though its more modern than the ones mentioned. If you wanted to kill someone in Serbia, there was a loophole that stipulated you would only have to serve 24 hours in jail :D. The law was changed last New Year's; luckily noone took advantage of the loophole.

A bit late to post this, but I know Pitkin and Parvini know their old school footballers better than I do, so here goes: Just over a week ago, an association for ex-footballers, EFPA , held their first football match in my hometown.

v3.5 went down, taking 20K posts down with it, but a familiar face in the abandonware scene got us some webspace here. Gendo, "how long can I hold it in" Marcus, and our resident drug expert/writer are AWOL, but the place manages to get just enough posts to keep it goin'.

Tom and Jerry's classic.

To start off, here's something slightly off topic: a few months ago I saw an old silent film called Pandora's Box . The film was pretty decent for its times, but one thing that got my attention was the fact that one of the main characters is a lesbian. This was back in 1929. Yes, lesbians haven't ha...

I don't follow German league football all that much, heck I hardly follow club football. I'll go to the pub to watch a big club match (e.g. Barca - Real Madrid), but that's about as far as I get into club football. When it comes to international matches, I'm there. To say I'm interested is an unders...

Don't mind my unorthodox post, it's just that I find list-only posts rather stale.
