I'm not in Canada. I'm in Washington.
I can't drink for another couple of months.  |

Where is all the food, the plush carpets and the lavish ornate decor of the Republican Safehouse? What is with this warm cosy buts so un-decadent place I have found myself in!?! heck, people look pleased to see this dodgy socialist! Heck, I'm out of here (rushes to window...) I'm going back to lurking in the RSH, they have better food to steal and redistribute to the poor, the poor being , er, well me actually!!!
Evening all! I could finally get rid of my elephant I suppose, alwyas makes me a feel a fraud as i'm not American, but heck, I'd as soon vote Republican as anything, so I'll keep it for now.
So whats going down? Looks round cautiously for Vampires, but guesses KPR (aka Redneck) has chased them away.

HAMLET Why?

Reps: 3,798 (power: 11) | | Hey, folks! How's it going?
I'm just sneaking in during a quick lunchbreak and saw ALaurie's PM telling me about this thread. It's good to have a place where we can get to know each other as people with common human bonds, and not just as political foes.
I won't be online very much at all over the next few weeks - deadlines to meet at work, and kid off for school holidays, but I most certainly will call in to this thread for a few stolen moments here and there.
I haven't seen you around for a wee while, Jameseb - how's it going with you? Keeping well, I hope.
Redneck...put the gun down, man. Now, pick up the beer...there's a good man. Better grab yourself a plate, too, the barbeque is almost done - prime NZ filet steak, baby - goes mighty fine with a nice cold Becks ale. :p
Well, back to the grind. Have fun - be good to each other!
