Well I was thinking of maybe pairing up with Dunwen if she doesn't mind so that I can maybe quiz Nimir about his father and find out if he knew mine. Only if that sounds ok to her though.

Fine by me, Kath ! Ironically, I found out I'm being sent out of town again on short notice from Monday to Thursday, and I won't have computer access.

Alas, Nimir wouldn't have known your dad -- he didn't have any direct contact with Gondorian soldiers or sailors until he met the guy who recruited him.

So, are we polishing swords or on Kitchen Patrol?

Pio, I know this isn't actually related to the roleplay, but I still can't figure out what 'celebrating with the white sox' in your address part means. What is soxs? They don't say on the dictionary.

EDIT by Pio

The White Sox are a baseball team and as of a few weeks ago, the winners of the World Series here in the U.S. Originally they called themselves the American League Chicago White Stockings (their whole uniform was white including their long socks).

The word 'Sockings' in their name was shortened to 'Sox' and the name stuck.

And here's probably more than you wanted to know: There was also a National League Chicago team called the White Stockings -- they became the Chicago Cubs (and will win the World Series in 2006!

)

Ah well, Curamir is used to being disappointed. I don't mind which punishment we end up doing, but since Lommy is going to be on her own maybe we should let her pick

Also, if you're going to be away I'll just take my post up to asking about your father and then leave it up to you what you say.

This note was left by Fowlren on another game thread. She asked to have it put here so you folk would know as well.

GO ASTROS!

The Astros are a better baseball team than the White Sox, and will beat them second only to the New York Yankees

pio forgive me but I don't understand. How can you root for the White Sox one year and the Cubs the next? Isn't that a bit fickle or am I missing some very important point?

EDIT - by pio

I always root for the Cubs, every year, to make it to the World Series . . . heck I'm happy if they make it to the playoffs for their league!!!

And I'll root for them over any other team when they make it to the Series.

Until they do, I try to support the Series underdog team . . .
