Hehe... but Metzelder always looks grim or scowls at the camera.

It seems like I'm owning a huge franchise and don't know it!

There's a restaurant chain "Mac Steaks" in NY and a chinese restaurant "Mac Wong" around the corner here.

I need to sue all these people. *evil grin*

Is it a sign of non-addiction if I don't get what you're talking about?

Mac, WW! From what planet are you?

And iMacs. Did it happen to be intentional that you chose to be an apple farmer in the DW?

This is actually in reverse, as something on the Downs reminded me of something outside.

The newest member on here is called "noble." The only thing I could think of was the Doctor's current companion.

Oh yes, that. I wonder who the next Doctor will be... or will they stick with David Tennant (I missed it today- must watch it on iPlayer). And just who is that woman he met on the Library

Hey umm. Unless you want the chat skwerlz to attack, then you probably shouldn't chat about things that are unrelated to the forum, even though some people (myself included) are interested in that topic...

But anyway, you are obsessed with the Barrow-Downs when you have to get up in the middle of the night so you can go on the Barrow-Downs, and stay on here for an hour...

Been there, done that. For werewolf. During a night phase. During a game in which I was an ordo. Heh.

Don't mind me, just ensuring the non-existence of spoilertasticness. Eon, thanks a ton for editing your post. By the by, I don't know how to do that spoiler tag thing. PM me sometime and tell me how, will you?

Right around the deadline, I was refreshing the page pretty much constantly waiting for the narration. My internet went out for like 30 seconds, and I had a cow.

You know you're addicted to the Barrow-Downs when your friend is writing and asks you how to spell "white" and you say "W-I-G-H-T"

TheGreatElvenWarrior · 09-02-2008, 10:17 PM

Another sign of addiction might be...

The first day of real classes starts tomorrow and I have about half an hour before bed, I don't have anything ready for school and I have to be there at 7:30. Yet, I am still here posting on the Barrow-Downs.
This is the sad story of my life...

Groin Redbeard · 09-15-2008, 04:47 PM

You know that you're addicted to the Downs when you think you see Thinlomien walking into the classroom. I actually jumped to my first and just gawked at the person, like this:

, until she gave me a confused look. My friends thought I was crazy after that (which isn't entirely false).

Have you been attending The University of San Antonio, over here in Texas, lately, Thinlomien?

Are you just trying to get out of looking like a BD addict or are you serious.

Oh... WW! I kept on wondering what "D-Day" had to do with it. I guess I need to start actually reading other people's posts.

Haha!

Now I wish that would have been intention, but I was just thinking of an occupation and it happened to be the first that came to my mind for some reason.

Translation:
Mac - "You mean WW means something other than werewolf?"

When you are shopping in the car aisle of the store and you see steering wheel covers, floor mats, and seat covers among other things that have penguins on them and you immediately think, Lommy would love those!

Or, when you are writing "Soft Soap- white" on a shopping list and instead you write "Soft Soap- wight" ...

In Ecology lecture class, we were at one point discussing perception of the environment and our limitations in perceiving it. I was rather sleepy, not having slept a blink the night before, but I was trying my best to stay awake because it was an interesting class. I snapped fully awake when my professor wrote GW on the board. Alas, he wasn't referring to my fiance, but to global warming.

Another thing, I mistakenly misread 'onewhitetea' as onewhitetree.
