Do NOT change to the cheaper formula at 2 months. You were all warned!

I can confirm this. Very BAD mistake to skimp on the formula.

As a Texan, cows in the yard is fairly common (ok, not at my house, but at my buddy's ranch it happens all the time). We actually had a herd of buffalo in the yards of our neighborhood once. And, before you laugh, this is a pretty durn nice neighborhood with 3,000 sq ft houses. We just had a buffalo ranch nearby with a fencing issue.

I recently had to use "crying baby" as an excuse to Cuttlefish. However, that one was, sadly, very real. Do NOT change to the cheaper formula at 2 months. You were all warned!

Agreed....I will pay whatever it takes to keep baby happy.

Once had a weird excuse over getting the return of the first turn (which I never received) from a well-known troll. They wanted me to explain some of my opening plans as the Japanese, also my political views, and my personnel relationship details.

When I told this person that I just wanted to play the game, and not bare my soul to them. They refused to return the first turn, until I supplied the details they wanted... weird methought.

How long have you been having this problem with intimacy? [:'(][:)]


I don't think "wierd" is the right word. Perhaps "creepy"

I quote here from the British Army ARRSEpedia

This is in fact not a fictional figure. It refers to the Iranian Embassy siege on the 5th May 1980 where the British SAS (or 'Them') kicked arse good style. The operation was launched via a roof and front (and rear) facing assault. The well publicised assault was made from the roof with troopers abseiling down onto one of the balconies on the front of the embassy. Every snooker fan in the country watched the SAS troopers blow their way in. Subsequently every pub walt in the country has claimed either:

To have actually been that second man on the (hic) balcony.
To know, and is indeed bezzers with the (burp) second man on the... balcony.
To have the (hic burp) address of the second... man... on... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

So next time you see a lone man sitting in the corner of the pub, with rolly in his mouth and long droopy 'tache, why not ask him? And then once he has told you his story, ask him to 'Storm the pub regiment style' in five minutes. Get a pint and sit and watch the fun. It's better than watching England lose at footy again.

Would have, you mean..I have replaced her with a younger woman. But yes, Pippa will be in attendance.

Not fair at all. I was really only asking for bank account numbers and passwords. Jeeesh, give a guy a break now and then....

I think that, as of this morning, I can beat a yard full of cows.

From one of my opponents: "The pigs got loose and broke a water line."

"Fish". Have you ever been around a group of rooting pigs? They can be as destructive as a fleet of miniature bulldozers. If it wasn't for how good bacon tastes, they could well be classified as agricultural pests.... [:D]

I agree, pigs trump cows!

I agree too, as the Cows have the possibility of doing damage, where as the Pigs have already done damage.

You guys should meet my dog who managed to turn on the water full blast.&nbsp; At least when I discovered this the water went down a drain that was near the spigot.&nbsp; Then she loves to dig and.....turn later.
