I'm sure I'll regret asking this, but what is "pleather"?

A rather soft, synthetic, leather-type material. Pleather tends to be the most realistic affordable leather substitute.

I guess it's supposed to mean "plush leather" or something.

Hmm..sounds vaguely familiar. I miss forge <IMG SRC="http://www.AmbrosiaSW.com/webboard/frown.gif" HEIGHT="15" WIDTH="15"> *tear* I like Penguin mints.

The "Baby Penguins Are Brown!" thing is originally from an installment of Real Life Comics in which the author/artist was making fun of the people in the #reallife IRC chat. Some of us found it extremely amusing to the point where I actually did praise somebody with that as the 'reason'. I never found a use for giving a real reason when I praised somebody, only when I smacked somebody upside the head. If you did good then just knowing you did good should be reason enough.

And I like Penguin Mints too. Been buying them for years now as fuel for road trips.

Oh, and I know I'm grave digging but I don't really care.

I could've sworn that I just saw forge post. I must get my eyes checked.

I refuse to beleive that forge is back. It just doesn't make sense. Especially when you consider the fact that he's been gone longer then I've been a member. I think it's definitely easier to live in denial on this one.

Well, I had one further leg surgery after I left last year. Been working as a hockey ref and power skating coach since January, played a lot of hockey, done some backpacking, managed to injure myself resulting in two more surgeries last month (not my leg)...

So all in all it's been a normal year.

See, it's so much safer to just stay inside with your computer. Don't let any of the nasty people come near you, they could say mean things, and don't go outside, you could fall, or get attacked by a squirrel.\

Just sit here, and let your computer help you. It is your friend. Your only friend.
