BruceVC Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice photos, I have always wanted to visit these little towns like Golden City. You see them in the movies, they always look so picturesque I have always wanted to walk into a shop like Cooky's and order Apple Pie ( or at least ask the waitress " what pie do you have " ) Be careful if you walk into the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, Washington. Great pie and cup of joe, but the owls are not what they seem. You see they remaking Twin Peaks....I can't wait ( I still don't think I have ever recovered from the original series ) http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/david-lynch-says-twin-peaks-showtime-revival-is-happening-1201498131/ "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

Amentep Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Well, its a continuation more than a remake. David Lynch directing 18 episodes? Yes please! Looking forward to it (have to finish my run through the series and FWWM before it happens though). I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

Looking forward to it (have to finish my run through the series and FWWM before it happens though). Even better so its next part of the story...I get bored in remakes and I'm not interested in the history of a series in most cases as I know how it ends. So I always prefer the future of a series as thats unknown "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

ManifestedISO Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I have always wanted to walk into a shop like Cooky's and order Apple Pie ( or at least ask the waitress " what pie do you have " ) Cooky's do indeed make pie, lots of them. I tried the peanut butter cream, having never seen it anywhere. Strawberry rhubarb, lemon meringue, every other cream flavor, every Dutch fruit flavor, ever, and probably a dozen more house-made varieties. Seriously worth the trip. And the brisket, my god in farmer's food heaven ... 2 All Stop. On Screen.
Guard Dog Posted May 29, 2015 Posted May 29, 2015 Went to a funeral this afternoon. One of the old guys from the VFW passed away. He was 92. He served in the 25th infantry at Guadalcanal & New Georgia in WWII. He was wounded twice (in the same day no less) and went on to a career as an auto mechanic and then car dealership owner. A remarkable fellow. They don't make them like him anymore. A year ago he bought a case of 21 year old Glenlivet scotch and kept it in the closet at the VFW. One of his last wishes was to buy us all a drink. So after the service we all went to the VFW and drank to the memory of a really good guy. So wherever you are reading this if you have a drink in your hand raise it up to Ross Ryan Blackfield.

Woldan Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I had a dream about a completely new kind of weight lifting training device, and now that I'm awake it still makes a lot of sense. I have to make a sketch of it.... I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet.

Lexx Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I am still busy with getting my new apartment ready. Moved about 2 weeks ago and there is so much to do... so many boxes to push... At least it is slowly shaping up. Now I am pretty much only waiting for my new couch and other stuff to arrive. Was said to take up to 8 or 9 weeks... meh.

Guard Dog Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Is it just me or are things returning to normal around the boards these days? It seems a lot of the flotsam & jetsam that came in with PoE is drifting back out. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
ManifestedISO Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Is it just me or are things returning to normal around the boards these days? It seems a lot of the flotsam & jetsam that came in with PoE is drifting back out. The Steam summer sale might bring the tide back in, but, either way I'm glad Obsidian owns their own property.

ShadySands Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 Still sick, been that way since Tuesday or so. It's too bad because we finally have nice weather for an entire day and I'm cooped up inside.

ManifestedISO Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I'm a fine one to talk, since I've been coughing like a Hollywood zombie for the last few days. Still sick, been that way since Tuesday or so. It's too bad because we finally have nice weather for an entire day and I'm cooped up inside. Same, more than ten days now.

Azdeus Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 Back from two days of PnPRPG's and one night of work, an old mate got permission from his girlfriend to come visit us for the first time in ten months so we did basically nothing but play PnP. Had a lot of fun, was good seeing him again. Sucks that he's that whipped. Going from a mostly sedentary life to running in stairs every weekend is taking it's toll on my knees. They are getting better at the same time though, just hope I'll last the entire month of this I'll be doing to cover my friends vacation. 1 Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.
