Re: Paperback of 'Torn'?
The good lady has even spoken to a few of us in irc, as I recall... as has a Gimlet.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Yep, and the Gimlet is nagging me for his own IRC account/setup. I suspect he will be joining us at the next Gravity Waves (if he behaves that is).El Viejo wrote:The good lady has even spoken to a few of us in irc, as I recall... as has a Gimlet.

Re: Paperback of 'Torn'?
I'm not normal, and I resent the comparison. I spend a significant portion of my time working out the internal arrangements of fictional spaceships, for crying out loud. And the rest of the time I play with LEGO.Gimi wrote:I'm trying to convince my wife that the people on this bb are just normal people. Giving her Torn (I already have a copy on my iPod) might just do the trick with Drew, for the rest of you lot, I see no way ahead.
There's no hope for me. I once had the following conversation:
Max: "What would you rather have: Sex or LEGO?"
Me: <thinks> "How big is the LEGO set?"

As for your second point, I would probably ask whether that was a LEGO Mindstorms set or not. Then again, given all the stuff you can build with Mindstorms, including different types of programmable robots, you could combine...... (No, forget that, sorry

I suppose answering with "How good will the sex be?" is a no no?
Cheers,

It all depends on how big the pieces are. ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Yes - Lego Duplo, in this case. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

When will I ever get around to building a Lego Cobra Mk3... Well, no time like the present.
