Shat!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Man, I don't know how I missed that before but that is hillarious and I did the exact same thing.

Anyway, the reason I dug up this thread is just to say that you look like quite the dashing and slightly tipsy fellow in that bar pic from the Meet Up night, Paul. If you're still looking for a pic, that is.

uh, i went with this one:

Image

my profile is thusly:

What do you want others to know about you?

Man looking for girl who finds sarcasm, pedantry and ill founded arrogance alluring qualities. Hopefully you'll also excuse the fact i just referred to you as a girl.

Where is the best place to go on a Date?

Ideally somewhere that provides food and getting to know you chat followed by the opportunity for a slow but steady descent into inebriation.

Where will you be in 3 years from now?

Probably sitting here having a serious rethink about the 'What do you want others to know about you?' section of this page.

What really makes you happy and what makes you sad?

People with passion and enthusiasm make me happy. That or finding a beer in the fridge when i wasn't expecting to, i'm complicated like that. The fact that people buy the Daily Mail makes me sad, but sad in a slightly superior feeling way, so its not all bad.

ta

i do wear contacts some times, maily just for sport.

my eyes got knackered after about 8 hours of it tho.

then again maybe that's cos i don't wear them so often anymore.

summer is here now though, so i need to wear them so i can don some sunny's.

I keep meaning to whack on my prescription shades, but being as it is too hot to wear a jacket I find myself with nowhere to safely carry my regular specs in the event that it gets dark / I have to go inside.

Bums!

Nice profilage. The picture is tres blurry, I think that was a wise decision.

"You look much clearer than the picture."
"Just keep drinking, babe. We'll get there eventually."
Grrr. Argh.

BF sin Box. :eek: Who knew. I always suspected you were hideously deformed at a TF convention thus beginning a long period of drinking and box wearing. It's a nice pic, btw. :up:

Out of curiosity, does anyone still have a link to Best First transforming?

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

And every single person on that site is a complete butthole though. Glad my membership ran out. I'll have to find a better site. Which one you on BF?
Not that I want to date you or anything. :roll:
I already have the perfect photo lined up for me - straw hat - and the pic makes me look fifty years old. :eek:
I've got a great digital camera - I won it!

That's why I love you 'Bloke. You're like me: Always ready and willing to self deprecate yourself for the sake of a good punch line.

It's easy when you ain't worth that much to begin with.

That's my profile on the dating site btw.
