[Rant] On the difficulty to obtain add-ons ...

So that explains the "Shoegazer" thing...I thought it might have something to do with looking up ladies' skirts ;) Guys used to actually do this in my schooldays,back when the earth's crust was cooling, and people wore highly polished patent leather shoes...

I'm married with 3 young girls. Looking up skirts would be pretty futile--I'd need a compass and a topographical map to remember what I was looking for. And just to kick you when you're down, didn't patent leather go out with bustles and corsets? :lol:

Little prepositions can be pivotal. "With" instead of "to"... I can't afford the wife I've got, let alone 3. Not sure if I'd get slapped or kissed for calling Mrs dte a young girl.

Depends on the context ... with 3 actual little girls in the house something tells me it would be a more tenuous ground to tread than me with two boys ... although my wife is 6 months older than me so I constantly call her 'old' instead :D

Hehe, I was joking of course.. "married with women", is a term you can find for example being used in certain litteratur in the library, though. The term "married with children" is understood from the context like mike said.

I can't wait for the teenage years when you will be drowning in estrogen, dte. (With that many kids, you obviously used to know where to look, anyway;) )

I don't know about the shiny shoes, but as far as the corsets--yes, we burned them along with our bras. Alas those days are gone:( Now I need the kind of structural engineering that probably wouldn't burn with a blowtorch. It's a sad world....getting old is not for sissies, as they say. :)

As it happens, that would not be the case for the oldest nor the twinkies. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing. And I suppose I deserve your estrogen curse after the corset comment... ;)

yes, they seem to think stainless steel battle bikinis are a joke!

@dte-and I deserved it all for impugning the honor of your shoes;)

Dte the estrogen curse will find you. I am still finding layers of it when we redo the walls now and then. And Corwin, speak for yourself on the sagging parts. I use plenty of duck tape and nothing sags that way. ;)

Hey, I tried to steer it back, but the crosstopic bane was just too natural. My apologies to Alrik for completely derailing his thread.

It's always interesting to see how a thread can become totally off. :D

Not that I'm angry; I myself have aquired very early at the Larian boards (to be exact : even earlier at the Attic boards [developers of the Realms of Arcania series] ) the title "Mr. Off-Topic". :D
