    youbroughtheryouRiker, is there any imagery you want me to include? I have worked a cool quote layout but any Trek imagery you want?

     

    Seeing as Riker's name is in my handle, perhaps a pic of him would be good, preferably one of him smiling, on the verge of laughter.

     

    Other than that, I'll leave it up to you.


  2. I was curious as to how you all would shorten my name. I thought you'd go with YBHYR, but whatever works

     

    I'm still trying to figure out what your name means................................

     

    It was either that or "RikerIhardlyknowher"


  3. *shrug* I dunno. I've been finding that a lot of these concepts are vague, at least as they are being explained by many modern people, so that they are mutable and malleable to be made to fit alongside most any spiritual philosophy. As this guy explains it, I don't find wabi sabi to be spiritual enough to be its own religion, if that's what you're asking. Otherwise, I think it's too universally applicable to be called completely

    "spiritual."

    Far from the human race

    Out in the coouuunnnnnnnnnn-tryyyyyyy

     

    Seriously, one of the things I miss most about the country is well-water. The way it slides down your throat...if you're used to city water, the first glass of well-water will make you gag because it slides down so fast. So delicious.

     

    Ah, but I wax nostalgic.


  5. Just to help out poor VaBeachGuy

     

    In order in the series:

    The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

    Prince Caspian

    The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

    The Silver Chair

    The Horse And His Boy

    The Magician's Nephew

    The Last Battle

     

    In order of Narnia's timeline:

    The Magician's Nephew

    all but the last chapter or so of The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

    The Horse And His Boy

    the last chapter or so of The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe

    Prince Caspian

    The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader

    The Silver Chair

    The Last Battle

     

    Hope this helps.


  6. I'd rather see them do the movies in the original order of the books, doing it that way (which is how it looks like they will do it) puts The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe first. "The Magicians Nephew" was the 6th book in the set.

     

    I've seen a few of the original movies but this one looks like it will blow all of them away.

     

    By original movies, are you referring to the original Wonderworks productions? I think they only did LW&W through Silver Chair.

     

    I know there was a cartoon adaptation of LW&W as well, but I know nothing beyond the first book in the animated series.


  7. I am going dress up as a civilian. :dude:

     

    Lol, I do that almost every day, with the exception being that 1 weekend a month, 2 weeks a year...I did notice alot of kids dressed up as Soldiers this year, though...Which was very cool.

     

    By the way, the party rocked. We kept Krissy away from the Tequila (If you want to know why, see the "This Song is for you" thread over in Cotton Candy). Julie did not have a little Cap'n in her, but she did not exclude the possibility of partnering up with a little Lieutenant later, Yeaaa! the costumes Gary and I got actually got us hit on by a number of women, who were rather dissapointed to find out that we already had "Permanent Patients" that we were committed to.

     

    Did you get those women's phone numbers? Feel like sharing?


  8. Yeah, I think it'd get boring, because a vast majority of the threads would be one member saying something, and the rest saying, "We'll keep you in our thoughts/prayers." At least that's how it'd go with my family.

     

    I for one, would not want the kind of forum where it'd be like the dinner table. Everything spilling guts on their day. Half the time, I tuned out and focused more on making sure I didn't get caught not eating my green beans.


  9. Had not heard of that. Sounds kind of weird, too, one member getting to be the admin, and thus, in charge of the forum, who may not necessarily be the head of the family. I guess it's more reliable than email correspondence. But the forum would get kind of boring, too, I'd imagine.
