We've often wondered about the effacity of these MBT shoes, also the Chung-Shi versions.
You are the first that I've known who wears either of them.

btw, you get cold feet, is that from Reynauds...?

Nope, just poor circulation I think. Had tests done ages ago but they can't find anything actually wrong with me - the doctor said to wear extra socks!
So I have a hot water bottle with a fluffy purple Tinkerbell cover and a nice wool wrap at work for when I need them.
It's one of the big motivators for learning to drive, so that I don't have to stand at bus stops in the freezing wind and rain in the deep dark winter.
Think I've possibly hijacked this thread enough now - unless this is some cunning ploy to get me to agree to more tests in order to advance the escape plans, in which case I refuse to co-operate any more, don't think I didn't hear about what happened to the last Scot to wander in here.....

No no no no no...that is what threads are for, to be massaged, hijacked, acutelated, sprinkled with goodness and all things related to chocolate.

The last scot to wander in here is still wandering aimlessly through the corridors, screaming (but that's nothing to worry yourself about).

Nonsense. I invoked the London, Edinburgh and Cardiff convocation of 1327. This clearly prohibits the Taylorian shift, and the Paranoid manouver. And before The Green Ones get carried away, this include the edicts of the Synod of York, 911 which clearly say that the agreement of Andromeda Cluster (3198, CE: published 138CE) -- specifically that time machines may only be used on diagonal verticals -- shall always apply.

Anyway, my turn: Angel <cue ZP's entrance?>

Trapped, wandering forever, trying to get home. Now I understand why, during the casting session, Aeneas chopped the head of one of the authors as a definitive "no", and Odysessus just ran away screaming.

Anyway, I've got to get back to planning my escape. Now if only the game exit theory will work...

<wanders around in circles, muttering...>

One song to the tune of another... no not that, ... web charades, .. nope... uxbridge english dictionary.... obviously not.....

I would tell you the citation of the rule I am invoking, but that would directly violate said rule, being one of those rules. Therefore, I am moving on to the natural dialectic of the unstated rule and announce: Cambridge.

These pandaborg are dangerously good.

Worringly brilliant...

Hmmm...

No only does this rule out cross-limits, it makes interchange at Châtelet Les Halles unstable (which, to be fair, it usually is), and Oxford Street becomes recursive. And it means I have to pass.

Drat.

well now that pshrynk has invoked one of those rules and lazyscot has been obliged to pass, it opens up the First Great Perpendicular and i can triumphantly play East Ham, shielded from any rolls of the shiny dice by the New Old Interchange Convention which effectively provides me with full diplomatic immunity under the third revision issued retroactively in 4507CE. i believe the only logical counter (Neasden) having been ruled out implicitly by the unnameable sub-section of pshrynk's unmentionable rule, we are now in a situaion of ordinary paradoxality, which means it's the end of the inning. who's up ?

Unfortunately, it was the Old New Interchange Convention, so we have to deduct three ducks and a wombat.

However, since bringing up the unnameable subsection of the unmentionable rules, I can definitively state that the Appendix A of Att 1.0 of the Rules of the Menz Room allow me to play Winnebago Street and West Avenue.

Take a good look at Marvin. As with most of his brain, his balls must exist in hyperspace.

That being the case, I'm playing through. Oh drat... Goodland Kansas again. We'll never find wicket here.

But does the zanny principle imply that Long House (Mohawk tribe) rules are not in play? Does this change the odds at the crap table? Are Taylor's dice really shaved? Why does the green felt have daffy's picture on it? What do I need to roll to get out of here even if I have lost all of my money playing Seminole Bingo?
