I'M IN UR NINJA, MUSTARD UNG UR OUTSIDE Ah! Ah hah! So you're the one mustarding my Outside? What kind of a way is that to treat a fellow OTTer? The Outside seems to do just fine ch*rping things up on its own*, do me a favor and don't encourage it, please? *No emergencies, just SNACU **The subject ...

BlueCrab

...My apologies, I had a sudden ambush by the Outside shortly after I got back from my trip (backlash for doing something so wowterfully OTTish perhaps?)... I've noticed for years that airfare isn't the only price one pays for going away and doing something wowterful, even beyond the meowlpies igno...

Hi everymolpy!

With any luck I'll be keught up by the end of the wipend. ;) Now if I can just find a crowbar to use on this ch*rping t...

Right. Hopefully that mess is sorted for a while, and I can get ketched up finally! I started taking notes then got Outsided again; going to go ahead a post these then just read until I'm within a page or two of the present. Future. Something wibbly-wobbly like that, anyway...

Thanks! It's a Discworld reference. :D Apparently some trousers have a lot of legs... I was picturing a section of 4-D spacetime embedded in 5-D space in such a way that the worldline has a choice, and beyond a certain point, the non-taken choice is no longer accessible. So I guess I got the meanin...

I'm sorry to hear about your wolpy, BlitzGirl. My meowlpies will get extra cuddles in his honor. :hugs: SBN, where is quote the about losing pets from? Ninja'd by ggh - “It's from Secrets of the Cat by Barbara Holland.” I think I'll look for that, I like the writing in the quote. Aw must*rd, Outside...

“They use a special snow-measuring board, which is probably just a regular piece of wood” Yep, pretty much . To make your own SMB, first acquire a 24 inch x 24 inch piece of plywood. A thickness of 3/8 inch to 1⁄2 inch is recommended to reduce the likelihood of having it blow away. For greater durab...

Funny thing about fermenting your own sodas, if you leave them too long they become over-carbonated and overflow the bottle when it's opened. I think somemolpy's over-fermenting the ketchup...

Posting once more to say that this here's my birthnewpage. I always wondered, am I the youngest OTTer? The youngest to claim a newpage, so far! ;) Happy Birthyippage!

Newpage 1994, Birthyip of BlueCrab's youngest, the family's Safety Officer! It's been a very Outside wipend, but I got to go see my eldest and the Mariposa, and something my daughter mentioned made me wonder - all the OTTers born in the 1980's, which Ninja Turtle were/are you? Was that just a USian ...

ETA (because to the pure all things are pure) that I didn't notice the non-non sequitur nature of "I may not recover from this, but at least I do have one of everything that matters." until I heard an involuntary "Hur Hur" from my inner child. (rude little beast that he is)... B...

Woohoo, it's the newpage of my first child! OMR I feel so old now... Outsideification seems like a risky practice. Especially since it includes "deification" in it. :shock: Yeah, let's not go there... "Woah! Watch where you're waving those particles around." "Well, watch whe...

I think a coastal island and a riverish region near it would be the perfect size for an OTTer-run world :D There'd be publicly funded comfy chairs, and there would be a pun-tax - sort of like carbon offsets in that it doesn't actually improve the situation but you do have to pay for the trouble you ...
