EndreWhiteMane: Been thinking about that all afternoon, first thought was yuck but then I started to think the orange might work out rather well. :-)

CarrionCrow: It's a mix of everything I put in orange chicken sauce, only I'm using the soda in place of actual orange juice to see if maybe the stronger flavor will work better with the heavier beef.

I don't do much in the way of crock pot cooking, hoping that I added enough items in the right quantities to get something approaching a decent balanced item out of it.

My first thought was to do the Dr. Pepper, but I found a boatload of recipes for that, and a grand total of zero that use Sunkist soda, so I had to try out of curiosity if nothing else.
I hope the original recipe called for sugar, because soda is just one step away from syrup.
I need to look up crock pot.

ddickinson: I was hoping one of the cows would give birth yesterday, as my partner has never seen it but she would love to as she adores baby animals. But no luck, cows do most things on their own terms. :-)
That would have been stunning !!! ô__ô
(talking about cows that have to give birth made me awkwardly think about my sister, who should give birth pretty soon too... **giggle**... I'm horrible)

ddickinson: How about if I put a big pot of coffee behind a locked door, and the only way you can get the key to the door is if you finish your work? :-)
I think I'll just randomly fall asleep on my keyboard...

ddickinson: I will not be too tired this week, I am too excited about having my evenings back and spending lots of fun time with my parter. I have had a big smile on my face all week so far as I can't wait.

A hundredfold? Hmmmm, how about a *big mammoth super special energising and motivational happy hug?* :-)
\o/ I love mammoths !!! Thanks a lot !!!
**Brontosaurus spectacular and unusual hug**

Vnlr: good morning everyone!

I had a small opening to pop in for a welcome change to studying (first exam tomorrow).

but where are my manners?! *hugs everyone* *gallantly kisses DD's hand*

Everyone's doing fine I eagerly hope?
Personally, I've always thought of DD as more of a headbutt-greeting, kind of girl.
The kind which makes YOU wear a helmet.

LaPtiteBete: Having children with food... hum. Interesting. Want to tell more about this ?... (wait that I grab my notepad and a false beard)...
Lol... why this angry face ? ;-p
You don't remember about your weekend... It's usually a sign of a hangover... Have you started drinking, or something ? ô__ô ... Oh... sorry about your Saturday :'-( ...[/kidding] ... at least you had your friend to cheer you up... that's cool
I'd rather not talk about it... Not since the ninja-spaghetti incident >__n
I don't think I've started drinking... I did wake up Sunday feeling strange, though. A massive headache, and really sensitive to light and sound. Maybe somebody spiked my epic hot chocolate? Hmph ):-|

I hope everything goes great with your sister giving birth. Does she know if it's a boy or a girl? So you are going to be an aunt, are you excited about it?

Of smash down the door and steal the coffee. :-)

*Argentinosaurus return hug*

Failing that: *giant blue whale hug* (That's the biggest animal known to have ever lives on earth, so no way you can beat that. :-))

So that's how Spanish women say hello? :-)

As long as it's not that ridiculous cheek kissing thing that people like doing these days. Damn you continentals and spreading your bizarre kissing customs! :-)

Everyone loves baby animals. AFTER they've been washed clean of all the mucky icky bloody bits.

The mother animal often eats all that stuff, if not it cleans off quite easily.

Good morning, folks! I hope all are doing well! Taking a moment to try and catch up on reading at least a handful of threads around here while I can.

Morning hugs all around! I'd offer you coffee, but I'm drinking it faster than I can brew it this morning, it seems. ;)

That'd make for an interesting sight in the hospital birthing room.
Also, Tom Cruise style cuisine.

Ca va bien. I should get back to studying now though. I finished most of that but there's still a chapter left to do.

And once I'm done with that and rehearsing, I think I'm going to write some music (much left to do) or play an old RTS. Or just come back here and chat away ;)

And tomorrow we have our first exam of this semester, but I expect it to go just fine.

ddickinson: Were there many people wearing a costume at the convention?
Yeah - a slight majority i think but it depended on the day because of the costume constests etc..

LaPtiteBete: That sounds great... I never went to any event of that kind, but it sounds really funny. Where was it, already ?... (yes, it's a bit too bad for the pannels which were only in german... !)
Ho ! Awesome pic of you and Aaron Douglas !!! (I'm happy to see you, also ; it's always cool to put a face under a name !!) \o/
Thank you - yeah that's true :)
Well it was the first time for me - it was in Düsseldorf (but apparently for the last time - they return to Bonn for the next year)...i talked to a spanish friend who was disappointed about the panel which were in german (thankfully all star panels were in english afaik - maybe apart from Eva Habermann's panel) becuase there were some interesting ones about the technology imagined in Back to the Future or about Einstein and Star Trek but all of them in german.....

ddickinson: Well we have a few awesome women regulars on the thread, perhaps you should try your hand kissing on everyone, see if you get lucky. :-)

Vnlr: Hmm, I'll give it a whirl. Hey, EIT, over here!! ;)

I just read an article in the newspaper which would have made me laugh if it wasn't so symptomatic of Belgium.

We need to buy new jet fighters, our old-old F16 are in need of replacement. Meanwhile, the rightist government has been cutting down greatly on social aid, public transportation and education amongst many others. Now they want to buy the ludicrously expensive and - from what I've heard from non-USA people - not all to good F35. Other contenders would be the Eurofighter (a decent aircraft, during one red flag training a few pilots actually managed to get the better of F22's), the Swedish grippen which is a really cool aircraft and the F18.

The problem is this: though about overbudget, the ministry of defense wanted to buy the jets asap, because they really, REALLY want belgium to have a presence in the middle-east (delusions of international grandeur). Unfortunately, due to the fact that our leased nukes are american, those won't be happy if we want to hang 'em under non-american planes (arming codes etc...), and they are lobbying a lot to get us to buy their expensive F35. Which can't do shit (sure, it's a good aircraft, but it doesn't cut it). Another day in Belgium -_-
Hardly a Belgian thing, can be found wherever idiot politicians are.
I once met a retired army member who used to tell amusing anecdotes about the old school army days. One of those was about the old aircraft carrier the navy had before. It wasn't even an actual aircraft carrier but a repurposed merchantman. That was already ancient, and was only kept in service thanks to the platoon of metal workers along with the workshops it carried, who didn't so much repair as reconstruct it on the fly.
He also told us that some Americans who visited were impressed, not only that the rickety thing floated at but that it actually worked, efficiently.

So if you were to pick a costume for next time, what do you think you would wear?

That's a good question. As i mentioned before i went to the convention i might choos a Star Trek uniform (those from the late DS9 and movie era) or a uniform from the new Battlestar Galactica
