No worries! Actually, I was hoping that someone might drop by and feel like chatting (about *my* interests, of course ;)). HA!

Well, a while ago we discussed how to lurk properly in this thread. I strongly feel that real lurking should involve an element of menace. Would this find your approval?

If you can lurk with tentacles, you get bonus points.

To the former: LOL!

To the latter: *Shudder*

I prefer to lurk in trees or pirate ships, myself...

GROMIT!! ! SHARKS?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!?!?!? ....... can I come out from under the table now?? Is it gone?!?!? No amount of Pyjama Pacification is going to make up for the trauma!! ! I am TERRIFIED of sharks.... can't even look at picture without minor panic attacks

I figure the PPPPTP Pacification Program is a shoe in for funding.... it's Canada... they'll give funding to ANYONE these days! And a friend from New York (a fellow Aspie) is pretty sure Homeland Security would love to be involved (which terrified the poor little penguins Image . They were smiling prior to over-hearing the conversation! ) Imagine.... prisoners and terrorists world wide sewing comfy pj's !

Have you ever known me to be serious in this thread? OK, once or twice, but only accidentally, or when someone hits my nerd trigger. I count that as their fault, not mine. People should take responsibility for the consequences of their actions.

I don't quite know how to put this to you gently. You see, that's where the sharks were. Under the trapdoor. The one the table stands on. You know the one I mean. You helped install the trigger mechanism before that lawyer came to serve the injunction. And I think we can say he was served. With herbs, too. I was surprised you dove under there. You know the safety catch is a bugger for metal fatigue, and we haven't had time for maintenance recently.

Yup. The octopus et it. Them. Perfectly safe now.

A rehabilitation programme? No one can think evil thoughts while they have to focus on purple penguins? Its ... genius. But is it evil genius?

What about purple octopi? Purple's my favorite colo(u)r, after all. :)

And no, I don't lurk in trees in that manner, because I'm not an octopus - I'm a bird.

HI, SINsister!! I welcomed you in my head and forgot to actually "type" it.

My lil' girl also has AS and a fabric obsession like her mother. She finds the most unique designs when we shop and she's not afraid to wear them!!

Let me open the flood gates..... tell us about these interests you like to talk about! (Just don't mention bicycles within Gromit's range of hearing!! shhhhh...) :wink:
