Paperback of 'Torn'?

[Cody]

The good lady has even spoken to a few of us in irc, as I recall... as has a Gimlet.

[DaddyHoggy]

You are not helping me in my endeavours to convince the wife.

Surely my magnificent Mo' will convince her that I'm perfectly normal?

<Gimi runs and hides behind the chair in the corner. Carefully peaks out at the Boogeyman on to computer screen>. Oh, it's only The Birdman. All is well.

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).

[Cody]

Very cool!

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.

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.

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?"

Please note: I'm trying to convince my wife that people here are normal. Nowhere does it say that I believe the people here are normal.

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 )

Edit: Another masterful derailment.

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

Cheers,

Drew.

Well, whatever it can't compete with the Lego, can it?

[Selezen]

It all depends on how big the pieces are.

[Thargoid]

Are we still talking about the Lego here?

[Cmdr. Maegil]

Yes - Lego Duplo, in this case.

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