Oh man, this is shocking news. Though Way and I lived in the same city, we never met in person. Whenever we chatted in-game he was always pleasant. I had no idea that he was ill. Unfortunately, I can, in a way, understand his decision. When you have a chronic illness you can easily become so depressed that you can only see one way out. It's this black, black monster that took me away from this community and keeps me away. It's quite easy to sound cheerful, especially in on-line chats, even as the blackness eats away at you. I could go on but I won't. Some day I will come back to stay. Today I came to say a simple good bye to Wayfarer. Rest in peace, Way. You will be missed.

Can't have 2 birthday old guys in the same post. That just makes everybody puke.

Hmmmm, the more I use this one the more appropriate it becomes. lol

Here lies Pavid, crushed to mush, The rest of the team said, You lead the rush!!??

Everything is crossed and I'm praying just as hard as I can for you guys. Hang in there and may God be with you.

And look what he did with them. Painted em brown, put them on his head and topped it off with a hat.

I prefer the T in B & W. Fatty on a T-shirt, whether in B&W or colour is just too disturbing. LOL An additional thought. Many of us are unable to make it to FragFest for one reason or another. How about generating some additional income by offering us T-shirts for whatever price plus S&H. It would give us a chance to support FragFest in some small way.

I think Shep just got confused. He was probably trying to play de_train while driving the train.

Interesting Honda Ad This is really neat.. Be sure to read the info first, then watch the clip. And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.

Ya, I had it done 2 years ago. It's done Laprascopically (through the belly button like Duke said). They put 4 or 5 small slits (1/2 to 1 inch) over your chest after they knock you out. They pump air through the slits so that they can blow you up like a balloon so they can manouever the tools. The procedure took all of an hour. The worst problem you'll have is the next day as the air migrates up to your shoulders while it is absorbed by your system. That hurt like heck so plan to take at least 1 day off work (although 2 would be better). Once the pain in your shoulders clears you'll be good to go. You can eat normally the next day including all the stuff that used to make you sick. Don't worry, it's not really that bad except for the pain in your shoulders. Advil (ibuprofen) should help with that. The slits healed in about 2 weeks with minor scars disappearing after 3 or 4 months. Good luck!!!
