Actually a good game of risk keeps my brother, dad, and I occupied for HOURS. I'm usually the first gone, but yeesh, the games get intense!

Awwww, and I was really looking forward to another two weeks of Albion fuzz... *sniffle*
Oh well, there's always my imagination I suppose... Erk... If only...

Right! That's enough of that, off to work again! >sigh< Work is evil....
Ummm... Have fun then! I'll probably have another fan art by the time you're back ^.^

I've fiddled with this thread so it doesn't stay forever at the top, and so that it makes no sense whatever. Again.
I can't play Risk... I keep trying to surrender to prevent unnecessary bloodshed. Clearly my ancestors' imperial instincts have not survived to me. Monopoly's kind of iffy too, although I like the way everything's valued in three figures. But Scrabble is wholly improving and good and I champion it.

Yeah, I'm too humble for Risk sometimes. And Monopoly... I don't wanna go into talking about my experiences with that. I suck. Very bad.
But yeah, Scrabble rocks. It's a shame my peers would prefer to listen to bad rap and party all the time. No one's into "intelligent" pursuits anymore.

I have but no one to play scrabble against... *sigh* And I so love that game... Maybe I should buy a set for work, there's a few intelligent people here, I'm guessing they're ones who don't play quake... So... I'm out then o.@
I prefer a game of Warcraft 3 myself, or maybe a little Tony Hawks... Quake 3's fun, but a little too tiring. Nice feeling when you rail someone flying across the map though ^.^ As for Monopoly, meh...
Chess's my favourite board game, tactical yet not taxing and Risk I've never played... Mmmm, I gotta' get myself a Scrabble set...

The skateboarding term for a rollerblader (I assume that's what you mean you use) is a "fruit-booter." It mostly stemmed from the fact that, like you said it's easier, and considered the "wimpy" way out. It also came from the fact that they stinkin' clog up the parks sometimes! *ahem* Anyways, They call us woodpushers, but I don't see the negative connotation in that.

Aaah, if it doesn't have an internal-combustion engine, it ain't worth it. 
And if you think having a motor is for wimps who just want to sit around all day... come with Doc and me for a 100 mile loop through the hills in the dead of winter in less than ten hours, and if you can get off at the end and even *stand* on your skateboard, I'll eat your trucks.

Actually I bet I could if my trucks weren't currently broken. I'd prefer you to buy me new ones if you could. This is the second time I've snapped my kingpin this year... Oi, I must be skating it too hard (I don't think there's such a thing, haha).

Pffft, motors on the Isle of Wight are a bit boring... No siree, what you want are skates! 40mph on those lovely hilly roads, mmm, one slight slip, a stone the size of a pea or an incoming tractor and good bye knee caps, chin, face and elbows! Now that's more like it...
Humm... Good job I was on a mountain bike ^.^ ... Still, pads may have been helpful... And a helmet... And some body armour...
Oh, and I don't exagerate when I say 40, supposedly you can get up to 60 something on a good racing bike... but I've only seen 43 so far o.O
Now if only they made the road a little less snaky and wider than one tractor at a time...
