probably not. tonight was a 2 hour wait for 15 minutes of ice time, but there is a place in PG county where its $15 for unlimited curling on sundays. also i have a friend with an in. his dad used to be the president of the us curling association and his brother is the skip for one of the teams playing in the us nationals.

We decided to test our werewolf skills on the Isle of Skye (near the Talisker distillery), with TimeLady baaing to the local sheep, and atakdog howling at them, seeing who got more of a reaction. Results below. (apologies for not having spliced the videos)

yes, someone got me this for my bday. i thought it smelled horrible, but mixed with a little cran and ice it wasn't a bad drink (and did taste a lot like iced tea)

nice sheep/wolf off TL/Atak. i think you had that last one. although, that last one looked injured too, so maybe it was just dying (and not interested).

Everything about facebook creeps me out but I also believe corn is an evil alien intelligence and civilization was a mistake.

And, no, the bf did not get me into Civ. I've been playing it for years in all its forms, even the ick that was Civ 3.
