Flush, paw, flush, paw, flush, paw................
Way back, before the Earth cooled, I really started getting into this stuff. In addition to the sword I'm holding below, I made a great helm, and started on a mail shirt. I didn't have any special tools, and was making 1/2 inch rings. The piece of mail I stopped at was 10 by 20 inches, and had more than 400 rings.
That's awesome!!
Joseph is eagerly awaiting tonight's South Park because it's gonna be about World of Warcraft and the folks who play it. The WoW folks have been discussing this for days and are half dreading what the guys are gonna do to them. ;o)
Haven't seen it, can't vouch for it's appropriateness for all audiences, but it doesn't ~sound~ like a subject that should be too bad ;~). Matt and Trey reportedly spend many of the hours they're working (waiting for animators or whatever to finish) playing video games, so if they're going to mock them, it's self-deprecating mocking. :~)
Joseph doesn't think it will be too bad, and he and the other WoW folks will get a real kick out of it, I'm sure.
Cool sword. What's that growing out of your head? ;o)
Hmmm almost interested in seeing it. I have not played WOW in a while though. That and the TV is not hooked up to anything but dvd player and a vcr. Maybe I can find it on the internet somewhere.
"The WoW folks have been discussing this for days and are half dreading what the guys are gonna do to them."
Using my kids as an example would go something like this:
Me: "Dinner's ready"
Them: "Not now, we're going on a raid"
Me: "it's going to get cold"
Them: "That's ok"
Me: "suit yourself, I'm not fixing anything else"
5 hours later, Them: "WE'RE HUNGRY!"
Honestly...this is the truth.
Yesterday we went to a job fair with Steve. I had to take him a nice set of clothes, so we just went with him and sat off to the side where no one could see us.
So while we're sitting there, I told Matthew "Maybe someone here will give that Dad a job!"
Matthew replied "Maybe by this time next month I'll be wearing underwear with glow-in-the-dark dollar signs on them."
~blink~
~blink~
Matthew also said something else and for some reason you came to mind...
The job fair was at the OSU Tulsa campus and we were wandering around at one point looking for a vending machine while waiting for Steve.
We were going up some stairs and Joshua commented about the stairs...like they were steep or something and Matthew said "These aren't stairs, they're platforms for the students to hurl heavy silver goblets down onto the provosts."
I asked him where he heard that before and he said he'd just made it up...
Nope. My question has been, "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"
The answer is, YES!
(I saw The Devil Wears Prada on the plane today. I enjoyed it!)
I think the most amazing thing in that is that he knew and used the word "provosts."
No kidding!!
I mean, I kinda knew what it meant, but had to ask him to be sure!
Hehehe....
I was checking out the local news from back home (at WRALTV.com).
They're investigating a lottery fraud case.
That didn't take long.
