[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:09:41 PM] <Evie> OK, I'm mad now. I just posted two reviews in the past hour, and the first one--the one that I first noticed the "Amazon Customer" byline on, is now showing up with my name on it, but not the one for Annie's book!

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:11:32 PM] <Jemler> is your husband going with you?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:11:37 PM] <Annie> these exams are the ones unis will use to decide if they will interview her, so she needs good grades
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:11:50 PM] <Annie> no, he's got no holiday left
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:12:26 PM] <Aerlys> just think of e this summer on a road trip croos-country with the whole crew to visit my mom. not sure if the tyip or my mom will be more stressful _). I love her dearly, but she can overstress herself over things

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:13:48 PM] <Jemler> hi cm
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:14:04 PM] <Shiral> Can you really take your knife and fork and cut up your new beloved?"
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:14:22 PM] <Evie> No hardship at all, Shiral. (Literally...it's fork tender!)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:14:34 PM] <Aerlys> adds new meaning to "and the two shall become one..."

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:15:03 PM] <Evie> Yes, I'm not sure a spouse is supposed to become MY flesh in quite such a literal sense.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:15:05 PM] <Annie> hi Bee

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:16:08 PM] <the_Bee> Evie, what about your hubby
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:16:21 PM] <the_Bee> becoming your flesh?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:16:35 PM] <Shiral> Her hubby gets to eat his competition
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:16:43 PM] <Aerlys> lol
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:16:58 PM] <Jemler> try using bread, it works for the church
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:17:17 PM] <the_Bee> I hope he's competing with a chicken
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:17:39 PM] <Aerlys> what are you having for diner, evie, anyway?

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:18:46 PM] <Aerlys> Hi Laurna!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:18:46 PM] <Evie> It's a new crockpot recipe for pork tenderloin that I'm trying out. Contains onion soup mix, water, wine, minced garlic, black pepper
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:18:47 PM] <Laurna> Hello everyone
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:18:51 PM] <Shiral> Hi Laurna

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:18:59 PM] <Jemler> hi laurna
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:15 PM] <Evie> and maybe something else i'm forgetting, but it's a very simple and easy recipe that tastes amazing, judging from the brief sample I just had.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:20 PM] <Jemler> what? no pork tenderloin?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:24 PM] <Aerlys> we're having pancakes. DD2 has been asking for them every Saturday morning, but it's been too crazy
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:34 PM] <Evie> On TOP of the tenderloin, doof!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:43 PM] <the_Bee> Let us know how it turns out. I can always use a good crockpot recipe.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:50 PM] <Jemler> lol
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:19:52 PM] <Shiral> I'll be cooking some chickenlater on
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:20:06 PM] <cynicalmedic> We had chorizo and eggs from my sister's chicken flock.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:20:07 PM] <Aerlys> never tried chickenlaters

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:20:20 PM] <Shiral> Had some great Texas bbq at a family wedding in Texas last weekend

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:04 PM] <Shiral> Francesca drools when she's happy. Unfortunately, she's doing it over the laptop
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:28 PM] <Shiral> Chickenlater is the chicken that didn't cross the road fast enough, Jemler
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:38 PM] <the_Bee> At least she's happy.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:39 PM] <Laurna> Arty got reserve male at the dog show today and the judge took a long time before choosing the professional dog over him.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:51 PM] <Aerlys> was it trying to lay it on the line, Shiral?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:57 PM] <Jerusha> Nice, Laurna
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:21:58 PM] <Annie> your review on Yusuf's book still says Amazon Customer for me, Evie
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:25 PM] <Jerusha> Yusuf?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:29 PM] <Evie> weird! On my browser it's showing up as Evie Delacourt
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:31 PM] <DomMelchior> Congrats Lautna
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:43 PM] <Annie> someone on G+, Jerusha
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:46 PM] <Laurna> Thanks we are happy
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:46 PM] <Evie> Bee: here's the crockpot recipe I used-- http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/75861/amazing-pork-tenderloin-in-the-slow-cooker
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:22:55 PM] <the_Bee> congrats to Arty
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:23:19 PM] <Annie> well done Arty
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:23:38 PM] <Shiral> Aerlys, I'm afraid so. So it's still a question of which went first, the chicken or the egg
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:23:45 PM] <the_Bee> Thanks, Evie
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:24:17 PM] <Aerlys> (I still think of Arty as DS's beaver, Laurna. Very amusing mental image)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:24:42 PM] <Aerlys> The other chicken wanted to see a man lay bricks...
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:24:49 PM] <Laurna> Arty is so handsome, Think three musketeers handsome.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:01 PM] <Jemler> laying bricks? ouch!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:04 PM] <Jerusha> Is he a tri, Laurna?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:09 PM] <the_Bee> Is Arty the dog or the owner?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:11 PM] <DomMelchior> Laurna, what breed of dog is Arty?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:12 PM] <KK> Again, what breed of dog is Art? Wolfhound, or am I remembering someone else's hound?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:13 PM] <Laurna> Yes
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:29 PM] <Jerusha> Cavalier King Charles, I believe
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:25:31 PM] <Laurna> Cavalier
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:04 PM] <KK> OK, someone else has wolfhounds. CM, maybe?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:12 PM] <DomMelchior> Oh, they're so cute. I have a collegue at work who's thinking of getting one.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:28 PM] <the_Bee> Cavalier King Charleses are sweet-natured--at least the few I've known.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:36 PM] <Aerlys> almost got one, but her name was Shredder...We passed
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:36 PM] <Shiral> DM has a large hound, if I recall correctly
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:26:39 PM] <Jerusha> Love-muffins
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:07 PM] <KK> DM's is a Pharaoh hound.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> Not me. A wolfhound is bigger than my house!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:21 PM] <Jerusha> A wolfhound named Shredder?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:31 PM] <Aerlys> no, cavalier
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:34 PM] <KK> Then, who has the wolfhounds?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:27:35 PM] <DomMelchior> I've a Pharaoh Hound, Shiral. They're medium sized...about 50 pounds
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:28:28 PM] <Shiral> Okay, so pharaoh, hold the wolves
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:28:42 PM] <Jerusha> I'd love a Saluki so I could name her Sofiana of Andelon
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:28:48 PM] <Annie> certainly not me. Until recently DD had a dog phobia. If we'd had a wolfhound, I think she'd have left home.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:04 PM] <Shiral> Well, if you need an incentive, Annie.... =o)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:18 PM] <Evie> and if I had a wolfhound, Luke would leave home. And then Gigi would make the wolfhound leave home.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:26 PM] <Jerusha> I could lend you a whippet, Annie
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:31 PM] <Annie> yeah, tempting at times
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:35 PM] <DomMelchior> All the Wolfhounds I've ever met have been real sweeties
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:39 PM] <Annie> she's pretty much OK now, though
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:29:57 PM] <Shiral> Every now and then, I feel tempted to get a dog, but talk myself out of it
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:03 PM] <the_Bee> If I could own any dog, I'd want a Boston Charlie--part King Charles Cavalier, part Boston Terrier.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:20 PM] <KK> Maybe I'm thinking of the shippets--though they're nothing ike the size of a wolfhound. Ah, well.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:25 PM] <cynicalmedic> I want a pug.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:33 PM] <Shiral> But I'll admit I have a soft spot in my heart for corgis
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:44 PM] <Aerlys> not our American bulldog, KK...
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:45 PM] <KK> Corgies are cool!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:48 PM] <Jerusha> Corgies are tough little guys
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:30:55 PM] <Shiral> Do shippets travel well?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:01 PM] * the_Bee thinks of Thumper.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:03 PM] <Laurna> Here is Arty today http://www.rhemuthcastle.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;pic=208
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:09 PM] <Jerusha> Only if you ship them, Shiral
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:21 PM] <Shiral> I just think the have great faces. My sister had a corgi for years though, and she ended up getting bad back trouble
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:28 PM] <Shiral> The dog that is. Not my sister
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:33 PM] <Aerlys> Awww, Laurna!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:31:34 PM] <KK> Yes. Thumper was an awesome Corgi. Count Corgula, and other personae.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:01 PM] <Annie> very cute, Laurna
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:02 PM] <Aerlys> corgis are pretty headsrong, though
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:11 PM] <KK> Handsome boy, Laurna.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:19 PM] <DomMelchior> Very nice, Laurna
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:22 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have a friend that has four mixed breed dogs - Havoc, Chaos, Random, and Mayhem
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:28 PM] <the_Bee> I wish I'd met Thumper. My first Darkover was when the hotel had banned pets.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:32 PM] <KK> Thumper was one of the most laid-back dogs I've ever met.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:32:58 PM] <Jerusha> Sounds like a fanfic, CM
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:33:05 PM] <the_Bee> Are there any pics of him in the pet gallery?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:33:12 PM] <Shiral> There aren't many dogs that had Thumper's wardrobe, that's for sure
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:33:50 PM] <KK> That's true, Shiral. And he wore them so well, and with nary a complaint. Seemed to enjoy being dressed up.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:01 PM] <cynicalmedic> Gerry just likes to be silly with the names. He also has a cockatoo named Robert the Bruce.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:07 PM] <Shiral> Also not a common feature in a dog
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:11 PM] <the_Bee> speaking of animals, does anyone know who won the Kentucky Derby?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:20 PM] <Shiral> California Chrome
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:20 PM] <Jerusha> California Chrome
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:29 PM] <Shiral> Almost typed California Crone
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:34:35 PM] <Aerlys> I want to name a dog Anathema so I can say "Anathema, sit!"
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:35:01 PM] <the_Bee> ? I thought CC was pulled with an injured hoof.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:35:12 PM] <Jerusha> Nope - ran beautifully
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:35:34 PM] <DomMelchior> Aerlys, then you could refer to him or her as "that damn dog"
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:35:59 PM] <the_Bee> must have ben another horse. Massachusetts had a horse in this year--Wicked Strong
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:36:15 PM] <Jerusha> There was a horse pulled, but not CC
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:36:21 PM] <Aerlys> I knew an old lady who named her dog "Dammit." She took him all around town with her. Drove a family crazy when she kept saying "Sit, Sammit"
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:36:46 PM] <Shiral> But not wicked strong enough
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:36:54 PM] <the_Bee> who placed and showed?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:37:27 PM] <Jerusha> I don't know which horse placed, but it was coming on strong at the end
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:37:32 PM] <Shiral> So...would there be horse racing in Gwynedd?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:37:56 PM] <Jerusha> Most definitely - Derry would have a horse or two for that
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:38:28 PM] <Laurna> Would be hard to go up against Dhugal urging his horse to win.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:38:29 PM] <KK> Definitely horse racing--though not as we know it today.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:38:32 PM] <Annie> I had a fic idea about a horse race back in the day, but I didn't know enough about horses to pull it off
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:38:50 PM] <Annie> and yes, Derry was involved.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:07 PM] <Shiral> I'm totally surprised to hear that , Annie
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:21 PM] <Aerlys> and Jon?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:21 PM] <Laurna>
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:42 PM] <Jerusha> Jon stole Derry's horse, I bet
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:44 PM] <Annie> this predated Jon by quite a way
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:39:55 PM] <Annie>
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:40:26 PM] <Annie> are you casting nasturtiums at my character?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:40:32 PM] <the_Bee> What would horse racing have been like then, KK? local competitions?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:40:49 PM] <Jerusha> Not me, Annie *whistles innocently*
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:02 PM] <the_Bee> No, annie, she's casting asparagus.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:24 PM] <Jerusha> I'm just a stalker
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:25 PM] <KK> Yes, mostly local. No starting gates, of course. But then, races over jumps don't use a starting gate today.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:48 PM] <Annie> more like point to point.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:55 PM] <Shiral> So would there also be hurdles?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:56 PM] <Jerusha> There would have been wagers, I'll bet
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:41:57 PM] <Annie> do you have point to point races over there?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:42:20 PM] <Laurna> Cross country racing.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:42:21 PM] <KK> Yes, Annie.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:42:51 PM] <the_Bee> Isn't that how steeplechases got their name? A church steeple was something your could see at a distance.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:43:53 PM] <the_Bee> Something to aim at
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:44:09 PM] <Laurna> Deryni riders would win every time.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:44:47 PM] <Jerusha> It would still depend on the quality of the horse
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:44:52 PM] <Shiral> Not necessarily. In a horse race, you actually have to have riding skill.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:44:56 PM] <Jemler> i don't know about that laurna. horses run faster than people. someone riding a deryni would be pretty slow.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:06 PM] <the_Bee> would it be fair play to use Deryni powers against non-deryni riders?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:07 PM] * Jemler ducks
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:15 PM] <Laurna> OMG where is the fish launcher
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:31 PM] * Jerusha throws a seahorse at Jemler
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:39 PM] <Shiral> I don't think so. Not to mention it's a good way to get killed in certain parts of Gwynedd
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:42 PM] <Jemler> giddy up
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:45:57 PM] <cynicalmedic> Launches a bucket of squid at Jemler
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:17 PM] <Jemler> squiddy giddy up
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:17 PM] <Annie> that horse whispering talent of Alaric's might just help a bit, though
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:41 PM] <Shiral> It might help calm a nervous horse, certainly
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:43 PM] <Laurna> I will take Dhugal for my team thank you very much
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:47 PM] <the_Bee> but again, would that be playing fair?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:46:50 PM] <KK> REces over hurdles are much more dangerous, for riders as well as horses. It sadly isn't at all unusual for several horses to be badly enough injured to have to be put down on the spot.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:47:57 PM] <Jerusha> I don't think so, Bee, and I don't think an honorable Deryni would
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:48:23 PM] <KK> We went to some notoriously dangerous races in Czechia where 5 horse were killed. Very sad.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:49:01 PM] <the_Bee>
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:49:58 PM] <DesertRose> Hey y'all. Sorry I was afk so long. Hi KK and wow, lots of people.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:12 PM] <the_Bee> HI DR
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:13 PM] <DomMelchior> Hi DR
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:15 PM] <Laurna> Olympic cross country is much more civilized but still dangerous
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:24 PM] <DesertRose> Hey Bee, Hey DomMelchior.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:28 PM] <cynicalmedic> Hi DR
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:31 PM] <Laurna> Hi DR
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:43 PM] <Shiral> WB DR
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:48 PM] <Jemler> cross country? which country? some are pretty wide.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:48 PM] <the_Bee> Would peasants have horses to race?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:49 PM] <Evie> rehi
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:50:53 PM] <Jerusha> Any sport is dangerous if things go wrong
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:51:07 PM] <Jerusha> Probably not, Bee
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:51:09 PM] <KK> Incidentally, riding to the hunt has long been a way for an elderly aristocrat to go out on a note of glory, deliberately taking a horse over a jump and falling off fatally. Not the way I'd want to go, because one couldn't be sure of not ending up crippled and worse off than before, but it still happens.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:51:49 PM] <Jemler> not true jerusha. golf wuld have to gets dangerous
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:51:53 PM] <Jerusha> Count me out
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:51:55 PM] <Shiral> We're glad to know you don't want to make that final exit, KK. =o)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:02 PM] <Jemler> not true jerusha. golf wuld have to get dangerous or it would bore me to death!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:20 PM] <Jerusha> A golf ball in the head could still be fatal
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:30 PM] <Jemler> not that golf is a sport.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:48 PM] <the_Bee> It would be dangerous to get in the path of an off-course golf ball.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:49 PM] <Aerlys> golf on horseback...
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:52:54 PM] <KK> That's true, Jerusha, but only rarely.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:53:01 PM] <Laurna> Polo
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:53:08 PM] <Jerusha> Golf on horseback - polo?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:53:21 PM] <Shiral> Polo.... somewhere in the Forcinn and Torenth?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:53:43 PM] <Laurna> Forcinn I would think
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:53:57 PM] <Jerusha> Or R'Kassi?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:54:31 PM] <Laurna> Game would be too organized to play in Torenth
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:54:53 PM] <Aerlys> Calvinball, Tornethi style!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:02 PM] <Laurna> lol
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:04 PM] <KK> But playing with a decapitated enemy's head is something that might appeal to Torenthis.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:05 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:08 PM] <the_Bee> Calvinball?
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:14 PM] <Jerusha> Eew
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:16 PM] <Aerlys> Calvin and Hobbes
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:23 PM] <Laurna>
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:23 PM] <Shiral> Geez, those Torenthis play rough
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:25 PM] <the_Bee> Ah, ok

[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:55:59 PM] <Shiral> LOL
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:07 PM] <Shiral> How about Pole bending? =o)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:09 PM] <Jemler> the group foreigner was right "gotta learn how to play head games"
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:20 PM] <Shiral> Do a slalom course between the heads on stakes
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:37 PM] <KK> Pole-bending and tent-pegging, definitely.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:38 PM] <Jerusha> Miss your gate and you are on the next pike
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:43 PM] <Jemler> TIME!
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:46 PM] <Aerlys> bonus points if you grab an earring or two along the way
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:56:53 PM] <Shiral> They really DO play for keeps in Torenth
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:57:35 PM] <Jerusha> Not for the faint of heart
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:57:36 PM] <Aerlys> except for the guy who doesn't keep his head
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:57:37 PM] <KK> Recreational mayhem.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:57:40 PM] <Evie> :-P Jerusha
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:09 PM] <Shiral> So THAT was why Teymuraz fled. =o)
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:23 PM] <DomMelchior> I think I'll stick with dog shows.
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:32 PM] <Shiral> Much safer
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:38 PM] <Jerusha> Much more civilized, DM
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:41 PM] <Laurna> lol Me too Dom
[Sunday, May 04, 2014] [07:58:44 PM] <cynicalmedic> Must run - the boy child is due to call in from his advanced tactical training course. Good night, all - have a pleasant week.
