NE sounds right, and to the point. :)

So you're from Cleveland? Ever heard of a little town called Hinkley some ways south? I used to live there long, long ago. The buzzards used to go there every year. :D

Watch some Monty Python, and all will be explained...

Ahh, I see! :rofl: I don't get much Monty Python here....only what I catch on BBC America. John Cleese is totally insane, as is the whole lot of them. Of course I own Holy Grail, which is a must in any household. ;):D

I grew up in North Royalton, and regularly visited Whipps Ledges.

I'd say you've heard of it then! :D I have to admit, I've never heard of Whipps Ledges (until I Googled it ;))...then again, I was 11 when we moved away. :roll::P

Nice to meet you, Crucifer! I enjoy reading civilized debate, although I usually stay out of them myself - I might act a bit less civilized if I feel provoked.

Brigand, I think I'll call you just that, like I'm used to do elsewhere. :P

So, Crucifer . . . do you like children? I mean very young children who wail without cause and whine without reason? Children who ask to be held then complain about the restraint?
Depends on the age. If they;re only wee, like 2/3, then that's fine because they don't know how annoying it is. I hate it in kids of like 7 and up, because it's just annoying.
The baby T. is definitely in the "kids of like 7 and up" crowd. :D.

Welcome Crucifer and Brigand! I'm mostly a lurker these days, so I probably won't bump into you in a thread again. Carry on. :P

Welcome, rwhen! I'm glad you like the look of the boards. We're proud of it. Whistler and Alatar especially put in a lot of time to get it right.
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

rwhen, that's another Primula Baggins. :D I think we've both had the name about the same length of time, but I was on TORC while she was elsewhere and on LJ, and we each weren't aware the other existed. She probably still doesn't know I do; I stay fairly quiet, except right here.

Fortunately for everyone's level of confusion, we have different interests; I enjoy the HP books and films, but had to give up reading fanfic years ago—the last time I read any regularly it was X-Files, which, boy, dates me a bit. :D

Hah, I'm famous! :D

;)

Of course I know you, too, rhwen :) - you've been on TORC a lot longer than I. :D
We've not posted all that much together yet, but I seem to remember seeing you around in Manwë a bit recently... :D


Soooo - about this Doppelgänger of Prim's - or is it her double life...? :suspicious: :P

My TORC time was relatively brief and was all in Movies.

The other Prim is "primula_baggins" and no, hobby, she is not my double life! :x Do I look like someone who has time for two lives? :D

Anyway, if I had another life it wouldn't be another Prim. I'd probably go join Second Life and be a sultry femme fatale leaving a trail of chaos and destruction everywhere I go. And smoking one of those cigarettes in a looooong holder. And I'd have the right kind of feet to wear jeweled spike heels, and I'd be a smoky-voiced chanteuse in my off hours. And my discarded lovers would litter the Almanach de Gotha.

But, fortunately for my husband and kids and the laundry, I don't have the time. :)
