I don't D8 what is it? :D

The irony is, I'll try to control my laughter, but when I read "Applecrack" or write it, I just burst out laughing! Involuntarily!! It's like...laughter-summoning! O___O

Been having posting troubles here. Used to be unable to post anything at all, but now it seems quick replies work, but editing and normal replies don't... I get connection reset errors there.

Aaargh.

Anyway. Spam Board is a bit overdone for now, the Play By Post thread is about the only thing that would fit there, right? But six is the perfect number. Six sides to the SSSS symbol, six main characters... six is good.

Played with my brand new microphone today.  This is quite the opportunity to improve my playing.
Time to start using a metronome!  And recording things!  Yaaaaaah!

Also, ThisCat and Potato have disappeared again.  They said they wouldn't, but now nothing is certain.
Feel free to PM.

Huh?
Two of our users.  They were frequent posters, but they didn't log on for a while.  Then they showed up again at the same time, and now they're gone again.

My dad jokes that I'm not allowed to date until I'm 25 X'P

Well, He's totally right about that. When I announced my first boyfriend, my dad stated, that if he hurt me in any possible way, he would take a large weapon and use it at him. My father was so pacifistic as a boy, that he sold his younger brother's military toys... He really cared for me...

I was just talking about the teeny-tiny writing.  Yeah, it is kind of reminiscent of plumbers...

Does your orchard ever grow apples with cracks?  When I was a reporter, people used to bring in odd-looking produce all the time.  We once took a picture of a tomato that looked like Richard Nixon.

That's the difference between you and me, see. You associate the word crack with... That, I associate it with crack cocaine.

There is something oddly creepy of produce that looks like people.

Yeah we get a few mutations every now and then :P not very extreme ones; but conjoined apples are common, and apples that have been squished into odd shapes. We had an apple shaped like a pear and a fig once...that was weird. Other times they get leaves growing out of them in odd places. It's interesting how fruit does that. O__O
I've seen on the internets some guy growing pears in Buddha molds, and I've seen in the newspaper a dude growing heart-shaped strawberries for valentines day X)

That's slightly more....that's slightly better :P

Do I want to google this Montana fellow....?

... Both.  I thought of both.
I'm sure apple flavored cocaine would be a hit, though.

We need a nickname for you, now.  (Your drill sergeant name doesn't count)

Ah, there's a Japanese art form like that, the name eludes me, which is about molding vegetation into compact, artistic shapes.
Edit: it's bonsai.

Only if you want to see Al Pacino (the actor) swimming in a mound of cocaine. It's from an old movie.

I doubt that the term "bonsai" covers the less "artistic" variants, though ...
