So, EarlG has got Skinner locked up in the DU dungeon

[yvr girl]

Should we attempt a rescue or just learn to make a proper cup of tea?

[In_The_Wind]

1. make a proper cup of tea !

[yvr girl]

3. 1 for Tea - Skinner 0

Hi Joan! :hi:

[In_The_Wind]

7. I guess that just about says it all ... let them drink tea!

I've missed you since you've gotten the new job. What are you doing and do you like it?

[Fleshdancer]

2. How many DUers does it take to rescue an Admin?

there's a joke in here somewhere. I'll try to find it after tea time. :D

[yvr girl]

4. We'll never know unless we try

but to quote * that would be "Hard Work."

[sasquatch]

5. Earl Gray or English tea?

[yvr girl]

6. Aren't they both English?

It's up to EarlG - it's his board now. RIP Skinner.

[sasquatch]

8. Yes but Earl Grey has a little more bite to it

[tjwmason]

9. I've yet to drink English tea.

The stuff I have comes from India or China - the nasty crap which most folk over here drink tends to come from Kenya (whose climate is far too arid for proper tea cultivation, the leaves dry-out then tiny fragments break off the edges causing the tea to stew).

There is a style of tea blend called "English Breakfast" - but one can stuff pretty much anything into it, but a decent English Breakfast is more than drinkable.

Earl Grey is distinguished by the addition of bergamot oil. The recipe was brought to England by the 2nd Earl Grey - after other folk here enjoyed his tea he commissioned Twinnings to copy it (only Twinnings is real Earl Grey). It tends to cause fist-fights over how it should be served - normal practice is to have Indian teas (which are used in it) with milk (b.t.w. NEVER CREAM THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY), but due to the bergamot many folk (myself included) prefer it with lemon or even straight up.

Okay - I know I'm spouting boring crap, and so will now leave you in peace and get an early night. :hi: and :loveya: to everybody.

[yvr girl]

12. I was going to mention the "English" thing too

but you have to give Americans a break - they don't know tea from tap water. ;-)

23. edited because the damned tea-importer I just wrote about...

...in this posting has ceased to maintain it's web page. I can no longer brag about their wares... sigh

[ContraBass Black]

33. Straight up Earl Grey here.

"Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."

[TimeChaser]

10. I just finished a whole pot of tea...

... but more is good.

[sakabatou]

11. That leaves one admin still on the loose.

[Lady Freedom]

13. We must save our leader!!!!

Skinner!!!!!! We're coming!!!

[yvr girl]

14. EarlG is our leader now

You need to forget about Skinner...or Elad will need to reprogram you. :scared:

[SOteric]

15. What 'rescue?'

Elad's down there, too. They're on Day 4 of a Risk tournament. They don't want to be rescued, just send down some beer and sandwiches.

[yvr girl]

16. Is DS1 with them?

I say they still need to be rescued. Bush learned all his evil tricks from EarlG - REALLY.

[SOteric]

17. No, DS1 is down in Florida with matcom.

They're taking turns being one another's Cabana Boy.

And EarlG's a sweetiepie. The most well-mannered of all the guys in the moderator hot tub.

[yvr girl]

18. Having Matcom & DS1 as Cabana Boys would make my vacation

Do you think they're available for a gig in Hawaii in April?

The English SOUND so well-mannered but underneath they're fiery bastards. DON'T be fooled.

[SOteric]

19. You do realise, of course,

That DS1 is British, don't you...?

[yvr girl]

20. I do...

What's your point? :D

[SOteric]

21. What might you be planning to do with a fiery bastard cabana boy?

[yvr girl]

22. Regular Cabana Boy stuff in the day

get them to fetch towels, put lotion on my back etc.














At night - go out drinking with him, and watch him start bar fights! Wanna come?

[JimmyJazz]

24. They'd better NOT be having a Risk tournament!

Not without me, anyway :crazy:

[SOteric]

25. I just ~knew~

there was something I liked about you. :7

[yvr girl]

26. Does that mean you hold my virgin Risk status

against me?

[SOteric]

27. Certainly not!

You're a Pacific Northwest DUer, that's like family.

[yvr girl]

28. Family, eh?

Can I borrow $50 bucks? :P

[SOteric]

29. Heh.

$50 bucks Canadian? What's that, $1.98?

;-)

[yvr girl]

30. Our dollar has gone up

It's at LEAST $2.98!

[JimmyJazz]

31. I think that is my all time favorite game! I know, I know.

A game involving conquering the world doesn't seem very "liberal like," but I still love it. :)

[yvr girl]

32. I knew it

You're Napoleon in a skirt!
