Heh, I have to laugh because that happens to be the same thing everyone says about me and my sister...

That's what I was thinking...

Though if you really want a halfway point between European and North American Downers, Greenland would be our best bet. But that wouldn't exactly be fair to our friends from Australia and the Phillipines. Figuring them into the picture, where should we go? Perhaps central Africa....

Even better, I was thinking since we all seem to have such great chemistry....wouldn't it be wonderful if a bunch of BDers moved to some remote location and founded our own colony? It could work...

We could buy an island, cut off communication with the outside world, and then teach our children Middle-earth myth as fact.

While some have "Spectre of Capitalism" in their personal titles and others pictures of Karl Marx in their avatars. Hmm... interesting.

Okay, I managed to see the video. This bit intrigued me;

Legate: I'd be surprised if there wasn't a Downer article...
Lommy: OH NO!!!

... When did I become some sort of notorious bogyman?

I think us Downers going to Oxonmoot are going to have to have triple the fun just to compete with this...

Who doesn't like to be in the Downer? I know I would pay money to have an article written about me or have my picture in the news...

But it'd be nice if I could go to Oxonmoot and meet other BDers...

Aganzir, that group photo looks like it could be of a Viking Metal band or something. I'm trying to resist the urge to photoshop it

I just can't think what the band would be called. They'd be a bit more like Nightwish rather than Tyr or Finntroll I think due to the contingent of lasses. Maybe.......Barrowtroll, or Wightwish....*groan*







I just posted this as davem and had to swiftly edit...bummox!!!! So no, davem has not suddenly developed an interest in metal, he mostly has to endure it

Wow, that seems like a lot of fun!

Some of those pics (esp. post#398 and #400) look like they could've been the album-cover for some 70's progressive rock band haha.

I also recall picking a fight with Rune some time ago. Boy am I glad i didn't go throught with it, that man's a behemoth...

Nice pictures!
