Would you believe I still can't get this boards posts per page number down?
Would you believe now your thread is really 8 pages?
Did you know that if you post something that would make the thread skip to a new page via the quick reply it doesn't actually jump forward until you leave that page and go back to you thus leading to personal confusion?
I haven't tried, so I'm sure it's rather complicated.Quote:

:P
Don't mess with the people who haven't changed their posts per page! What'd we ever do to you? ;)Quote:

how many posts would you be satisfied with?
Or are you never satisfied?
I'm actually looking to hit 1000 so I can chat edit. Besides, asking me questions pads YOUR post count, too! :smug:Quote:

You give me a bird vibe, which would make me something large and smelly....Quote:

Is being something large and smelly better than being a mindless eating machine?
What size shoe do you wear?
Um...I'm not sure. I mean, I guess we don't really know what sharks smell like in their natural habitat, right?Quote:

Size eight, give or take half a size. Depends on the shoes, though.Quote:

Not that I can remember! I just looked them up, and I don't think I've seen one before!Quote:

But but but... they're the state something of Mississippi. (We used to call our sister ship, Mississippi, Mudpuppy. When we weren't calling her Brand X.)
Did you ever see the Kidd during any of your trips to Nawlens?
Is this a ship thing, Loki? I don't understand the whole nautical thing which is either true BECAUSE I live so close to a bazillion historical nautical things or ironic because of it. (I went ot battleship cove every year for like, ten years. I never want to be in a submarine longer than 10 minutes).
Not as of yet. Should Zuul and I do that next time she comes down here?Quote:

Yes, it's a ship thing. :)
If I get incomprehensible in the future, you'll probably be just as happy if you write it off to me going off on ship things, again. I do it far too often, really.
This is because you're sane. :DQuote:

Oy! I know! My mom used to drag us to some historical battleship every summer, and the submarine was my least favorite part of the whole thing!Quote:

Unless you're a warship groupie, I really don't see the point. Heck, when I was in Nawlens for my one visit, I skipped right past her. I was looking to see the cast iron corn. Much more interesting. :)Quote:

Than, I'll skip it. We have to go later in the day next time, anyway. Gotta do a ghost tour.Quote:

Was this in Massachusetts? (I'm trying to think of naval history parks that had both a battleship and a sub, at the appropriate time frame, and Battleship Cove is all that comes to mind.)Quote:

As for submarine tours: The really frightening thing for me (a borderline claustrophobe) is knowing that every submariner from WWII will tell you that US subs from that day and age were luxury craft compared to British, German, or Japanese craft. :wth:

Can you understand the humor in seeing the Greek Navy and Turkish Navy each sending one of their Fletcher class destroyers to a NATO exercise?
Nope. One of the Carolinas. Don't remember which! I was a wee one!Quote:

That's all I got.
And, why they weren't sharing?Quote:

More because of the fact that they're still intense rivals. It may be an exaggeration to claim that they hate each other with the heat of a thousand suns. Maybe. And here they are, both showing up in the same class of ship. As well as having to play nice together.Quote:

At the time that I'd been part of that NATO exercise, the differences between the two nations because of the issue of Cyprus had nearly lead to a shooting incident.
They were the most watched ships in the group, for some reason.
Do you have any other phobias, besides claustrophobia?
Spiders, and I'm terrified of being alone. One of the only two times I did a drug harder than pot, I was absolutely sure that there was a giant spider crawling around my room, and that it was going to get me.Quote:

Woah. Would you validate my suspicion that, under standard posting preferences for mello, this is approaching 9 pages? EPIC PADDING
I haven't! I've been told I should, but the things I've been told I should read could be put on a list that would stretch at least across the country. :)Quote:

Well, my step-mom has one of those giant Tupperware type thingies in the closet. I'm not sure if that's proper, but it's worked for her so far.Quote:

What units do you use, personally, to measure chaos? Or fun?
Anything of interest is usually measures on a scale from "a'ight" to "insane," though insanity has levels beyond that ("kinda insane," or "fucking insane," to name a couple).Quote:

Not really, anymore. I'm totally shameless about things I enjoy.Quote:
