it was nice knowing you for the short time that we did mitch

(Bugger.)

Can't find the Rules thread.

I'll get back to you...

Ahhhhh shucks... I didn't realise you all cared.

Andromeda, I can't believe there's anyone here who HASN'T tried a Jammie Dodger yet!!!!! you don't know wht you're missing

It's not my fault! I swear! It just seems that no one has thought of exporting jammie dodgers to new york yet. That's it! I'm writing to my congressman to demand mandatory jammie dodger shipments to all new york residents as we're obviously getting shafted.

And come to think of it, I'm not sure if I ever said my name on here before... not that I'm hiding behind my computer or anything I guess it just never came up... but it is in my profile, so HA!

Oh that's simple enough. I took italian for 4 years in high school and in 10th grade i had to translate a recipe called "tuoni e lampada" which, literally translated, means "thunder and lightening"... so tuoni=thunder. Everyone thought that fit my personality, so it's been my nickname ever since. (well that and I'm a sucker for a good thunder storm)

Then, a few years later, an artist friend of mine drew up a tattoo of an eye/dragon/thunder tribal piece, called it "occhi di tuoni" (i.e. "eye of thunder") which I had tattooed on my back....

I believe that about covers it

lol good question... hmmm

10 to 15 percent probably. that's something that's hard to guesstimate because they're all over... so I'll explain it like this..

I have the one on my leg that I think I showed you guys before (http://www.tuoni.net/checkthisout.html - I'm the one at the bottom with my leg up on the table). I also have a small half wrap on my ankle below that one which you can see in the picture, but because the pic is small it kind of looks like its part of the big tat. I also have the "occhi di tuoni" on my upper back - about 10in tall and 6 in wide, another tribal on my lower back, a small dragon on my left calf, the chinese symbol for woman (about the size of a half dollar coin) on my stomach and a symbol for pisces i sort of invented on my right arm. Also on my right arm is the ideogram for the third hexogram of the I Ching... which looks like this

and means "CHAOS ~ WHERE GREAT DREAMS BEGIN. Before a great vision can become reality there may be difficulty.  Before a person begins a great endeavor, they may encounter chaos. As a new plant breaks the ground with great difficulty, foreshadowing the huge tree, so must we sometimes push against difficulty in bringing forth dreams. Out of Chaos, Brilliant Stars Are Born"

Hello all, I am Nate Oliver.

My recent attempts to secure a consignment of Jammie Dodgers was thwarted by the poetic brilliance of Ken of Kansas. If you would like to read some of my poetry on the very subject of the board, please follow this link:

Never-the-less, tomorrow's a new day and while the battle was lost, the war isn't over yet!

Some semantics of no real use to any of you. I am 6'2", 180 lbs., I have two ear piercings from my younger years and no tattoos, while my twin sister has two tatty's. I typically do not sport a 'stache, but a double dare made the fashion statement a temporary reality.

Nice of y'all to have me.

Hi Nate, I'm new here myself, great site!  Just don't mention anything about the Rules.  Here, have a Jammie... :chomp: ...Ooops sorry, I'll get you another one

Yeah.  Internet.  That's a good idea!

I know its a good idea  - i thought of it

i mean in the house - although i suppose i could just use the qub computers

And it would probably be a good idea to buy stuff i actually need first - like a computer desk and george forman grill, and a dvd player, before i get the internet again

I have a contraption like the Foreman Grill. It's a PITA to clean though.

Although not nearly as bad as my 'Sandwhich Maker,' which could very well be the work of the debil. I tried to stuff two pieces of bread, three fried eggs, ham and cheese in there. Sat on the thing, and watched all of the ingrediants spill out all over the place! I've used it zero times since...
