Comings, Goings and New Arrivals VIII

[schlaufuchs]

He is thoughtful and thought provoking with an interesting perspective on a whole host of topics. I didn't know what to expect (except a big guy with a russet beard) and I was most pleasantly surprised.

Yeah but he lives in SoCal

 

[Timsup2nothin]

Yeah but he lives in SoCal

I did go to college in Northern California.

Oh my!!! So many topics and posts to read on my favourite game(s) ever!!

Hi, I'm Bart, and I've been playing civilization since I before I could even understand English, starting with Civilization II. As a young boy, I guess when I was around 8 years old, I was just clicking on the text my brother told me to click on. Later I realized I had demanded tribute from every other civilization I met in-game....!

[Bartmeteenc]

Thanks guys!

Such an active forum as well. I'm off to play Civilization 5 'a bit'.... See you in a couple of days

 

[Zack]

Such an active forum as well.

Really? sometimes it feels like it's just one person...

 

[Takhisis]

Don't treat him like that, he already has some three posts.

 

[Gori the Grey]

My work here is done.

This had better be a prank from Gori.

Yeah, I was just messin' with ya.

There once was a poster named Grey
Who vanished One fine April Day.
But he was just Foolin'.
He's back and it's cool'n
If there's no work, why then, he'll just play.

(Which was all he did do anyway.)

 

[Hygro]

How do we know your return isn't the prank

 

[gay_Aleks]

Maybe it's just a social experiment.

 

[Farm Boy]

Waterboard him until he gives you the answer we want!

...or did we already? Back to lend a bit of beauty, eh?

 

[gay_Aleks]

That's scheduled for Wednesday.

Well, you of all people should know
From this site until when I can't go.
You and I have a bet
That's not settled yet
And won't be till Two-Oh-Four-Oh.

Maybe it's just a social experiment.

This suggestion is just ludicrous.
To test a hypothesis
About social decorum
Why would I choose a forum
As antisocial as this?

Back to lend a bit of beauty, eh?

In the beholder's ear that will be.
If in five-line ditties you see
Something of beauty,
Then rooty-toot-tooty:
You'll get all you can handle from me.

It may be due to the fact that you're one of the few scholars who believe in scientific rigour, thus as such, there is no field of research you're not willing to commit to.

Forecasting social actions of twenty forty four judging by twenty-somethings' vs those aged forty or more
whoever holds the future holds the codes to control social mores

I won't pretend there won't be an upgrade to our understanding of the aforementioned concept
that maybe strangers will feel more welcome to ascertain interest and conversation
and what looks like street harassment today will tomorrow be friendly and fantastic
..but before I digress...

at a cost of two bottles of scotch to keep Gori posting on civfanatics is worth a pecuniary loss less than the gain of my mental assets
and besides
my liquor cabinet might be two bottles richer, four if Jeb Bush could still snatch it.

I'm off to Greece for 10 days. Perhaps I will find Kyriakos's smile, in some dark, frightening place

 

[Arakhor]

Check out Mt Athos, but only if you have no company of the female persuasion.

 

[gay_Aleks]
