Well i have had to make the difficult decision to not go, even for the day trip I was planning, to the open house.

I regret that I will not be able to finally meet some very good people. Financially speaking it just isn't going to be something I can set money aside to do. I promised my daughter I would take her to the Toronto AnimeExpo a few weeks after the O.H. and that is definitely going to take priority over going to the Palladium OH unfortunately.

I hope it all goes well. Keep on keepin' on PB.

Stupid kids. Ruining all the adult's fun. They should get a job.

Fortunately mumah you were not one of the very good people............you were one of the great people I wouldn't get to meet.

Too bad. Would have been cool to meet you. I'm on the fence right now, myself. As much as I'd like to go, I'm starting to question whether I can swing all the logistics to make it work. Hopefully this isn't the last, and there will be another Open House we can attend in the future.

IIRC Kevin said at some point that this was going to be the last one.......hopefully not, but I think it may be.

Yup. You're missing out. I'm really cool. Maybe next time!

We can only hope that the future holds an opportunity for you to be exposed to my awesomness

Exposing yourself is frowned upon in the states.

I am flabberghasted. Did not Henry D. Thoreau say: "We cannot adequately appreciate this aspect of nature if we approach it with any taint of human pretense. It will elude us if we allow artifacts like clothing to intervene between ourselves and this Other. To apprehend it, we cannot be naked enough. (cited from Wikipedia)" As Thoreau was a libertarian, I would have assumed that this position is widely upheld by the libertarian GOP ...

That is a true pity, Jaymz (although a promise to a child is far more important). I was really looking forward to make your acquaintance in person.

Kind regards

I tend to vote the other way. It was the great scholar Cookie Monster who said, "MMMMM COOKIES! NOM NOM NOM NOM!!!"

And never can the great Cookie Monter be wrong!

"Libertarian" was a joke. I cannot fail to notice the extreme gap in meaning for that word on the respective sides of the Pond. For me a "libertarian" is very left wing, possibly an extremist, possibly an anarchist, possibly a naturalist / nudist. Clearly, in the US of A "libertarian" is defined differently, more like a "liberal" would be in Europe. There is some really big joke in that.

Oh he can be wrong, I believe I heard somewhere he is the Carrot Monster now? Because apparently kids nowadays are all fat little tubs and it's not the parents fault in any way, it's obviously the fault of a cookie eating muppet!

Please tell me I heard wrong and he's still a cookie monster, please ? *sniffs as a tear rolls down his cheek at the thought of another happy childhood memory being destroyed by the stupid people of this world

*quick edit: oh on a side note, too bad you can't go, I know you were looking forward to it

Yes he is still technically a cookie monster who is not supposed to eat carrots and have cookies as a treat and in moderation....because as you said, parents can't be to blame for their children being obese, it's television and schools and movies fault.

also when you see seriously overweight parents, with their seriously overweight 6 year olds trailing behind stuffing McDonalds and an open box of oreo cookies in their face while grocery shopping, it's also not their fault. The parents have a glandular problem and it's the government/school's fault for cutting the soccer team thus making their children fat.

This is pretty much the best post you've ever made.

Thanks, I am quite happy with the level of sarcasm and wit displayed combined with the fact that it's a true story. I seen them with my own eyes. I may not have as many posts as others on here but I like to think I come up with a good ones once in a while You should check out some other ones.
Now before anyone says I'm mean for calling people fat, I too am overweight, and a parent, so I have a right to judge. At least I know why i'm fat it has nothing to do with society, it has to do with me. I was always "husky" as a kid, and it was my lifestyle choices when I was older that made the problem worse. Also not walking for a year and eating fast food didn't help I gained over 100 lbs in that year alone. But my children are not overweight, because my wife has us leading a healthier lifestyle. It keeps my kids happy and fit and I too am loosing weight. Back to my original point, if an adult wants to be unhealthy that's their choice, but don't make that choice for your kids. Nothing makes me angrier when I see young kids who weigh 180-200 lbs and they are not even teenagers yet. at almost 33 years of age, I shouldn't only outweigh children by like 80 pounds.

I spent my Open House budget on the Insider and ordering Palladium Fantasy books. I may be able to still go, but we'll have to see.

In most places. Also, it depends on the person.
