Dylan,

The watch (depending on platinum, gold, or titanium) starts at $50,000. That if you can find one. Really limited production.

To UTiler. . . .

Thanks. Phoebe is a great dog. The Dub is not mine. But she is a dream I hope to realize. That one is a 56. You can tell from the Front Turn Signals.

Pav. . .I love WV's. I have about 75 of them .. . Hot Wheels and Corgi Toys. Someday, I will own the Perfect Classic VW Vert.

Juggling 5 balls, its just so much more satisfying than 3.

I took most of the text in the thread and fed it into a little online program called Wordle which produces a word/tag cloud of the words in the submitted text. Kinda fun.

The cloud of joy. Wonderful, fred!

I miss the word 'sex' in it though . Don't know how big it should be.

Finishing the exam season. sweet sweet relief. Now i can get wasted when ever i have the cash

Stinkie · 19 Jun 2008, 18:51

I'm guessing your folks ain't using that app Igor's parents got.

remus · 19 Jun 2008, 20:06

Nope, fortunately not. Although the getting wasted part was a bit of an exaggeration, that only happens at birthdays and arbitrary special occasions of my choosing.

lol. Careful, young man. Nasty drug. Had a neighbour once who drank himself to death in two years time. Shame, he was a sweet bloke. Not cut out for this planet, I guess.

I used to work at a wine merchant's, back when I wasn't independently wealthy yet. It's surprising how many people drink more than is good for 'em. One thing I learned there. Another thing: lift with your legs!

I think I'm gonna have me a wee single malt now. It's bad for ya (causes cancer), but it tastes so fine! I might have me a cigar too. Girlfriend's in Holland - I can stink up the place.

A votre santé.

Companies who manage to seem small and personal, despite the potential for being large and faceless. Giving their employees the power to think and make decisions for themselves also helps.

wow, boofredlay is one happy person. and would stinkie please stop binging up the spyware thing? this is supposed to be about posistive things.

the one thing i really like: making something great after spending hours of work on it, and watching it work perfectly and complete its intended goal. such a great feeling

and yes, the cool side of the pillow. and to go with that: turning on my electrcic blanket about 45 minutes before i go to bed on a cold night and then when i get into bed, its all nice and warm. ahhh.....

oh, and lucid dreaming. only have them about once every 3 months or so, but they are great. i used to be on a forum about them, great place, but apparantly you had to be 15 and... well... you get it. heres a wikipedia link:

Lucid dream - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

playing my drums and just listening to them. ive gotten so used to playing them that i can set myself on autopilot and just listen. and it sounds great (im so modest)

this forum, thanks coen and co.

steampunk. greatest. subculter. ever. such a great community and energy, everything is DIY, and you are constantly slaping youself on the forehead thinking "why didnt i think of that?!?!?!?!". wich for me, is a good thing. it means i can use or modify that great idea that i never would have had normally and use it in another way.

foggy days, where its just foggy enough so that i cant see the end of my street, but not so foggy that you need to rent a cane to feel your way around. on those days, is just the right tempature, the air is still, and nothing has a shadow.

i could go on and on (im a very happy person, ussualy), but i have to keep the posts short, so i'll continue this later.

foggy days

one of the most beautyful things in the world - time for dreaming (black rider emerging from the fog on a small hill, then vanishing into the dark forrest...)

what I really like:
when Germany, after starting with a disappointing performance in the first games of Euro 2008, wins the quarter final (sorry portuguese ) by finally finding back to it's ordered and controlled style, combined with a constantly dangerous opponent who puts up a fierce fight to the last minute...

A dirty martini.
A good game of bridge.
Watching a building that I designed become a reality.
Canoeing and camping on rivers ... unfortunately, my camping buddy doesn't look so good to me anymore.
Hanging out at the leper colony at the 'plex.
The sound of crickets on a summer night.
Playing my guitar.
Shawshank and the Sound of Music.
These are a few of my favorite things.
