I know, but I wouldn't have access to my saves (for some reason Linux refuses to admit that I have a windows partition) and I really can't be bothered wasting time on reinstalling MW then making a new character, just to lose it when I get my PC fixed (which should be any day now) *sigh*

The strange thing is that I can see them from Knoppix, just not from openSUSE... probably because the latter is for "Linux newbies" so they don't mess anything up...

Funny Story #1:

We had a tournament (if you can call it that, brawl with wrestling mats in a gym please?) today, for kicks. I happened to have some fake blood, with a thick consistency, that I used as war paint. So did the rest of my team, the lights were turned almost entirely off for the "tournament", and one of the people on the other team saw our faces in the middle of it, freaked out and ran away....good fun.


Funny (thermite-related) Story #2:

200 grams of thermite + Ten inches of steel, anyone? Me and my friend did this in a big dirt lot, somehow, one of the steel plates was frozen, and when the thermite lit, big bang ensued....pretty scary then, funny now.

That is the LAST time I come unprepared for a thermite......"experiment".

Hmm... maybe this is trying to strech the topic too far, but we could do what we like in other people [friends, lovers, bosses, leaders, etc.] It could be physical properties, personality traits, etc.

I like:
Dark Blue eyes
People who are slightly plump
People who laugh easily
People that can deal with my insanity
Insane people
Short people [I mean short by normal standards. Not short by the standards of Wolfgang and I]
Gamers

Well, I'm still growing, so this will not always be so, but currently I'm 6 feet 10 inches tall.

Indeed, most of my friends are under 5 feet tall! Some of them use me as a taxi... [they jump up and latch onto me, then order me to carry them places]

I used to play Travian, think I had twelve villages at one point but that severely dropped towards the end :lol:
I was in the winning alliance though so it was all right even if all my armies got killed^^
It's a great game but I'll never play it again, way too time consuming :?

I was out hunting this weekend with some of my friends. It was a great trip involving guns, booze and fighting. We were hunting grouse but we didnt see a single one so after about 8-10 hours of hunting I got bored and shot a sparrow instead. Then we shot a bunch of clay pidgeons.

One of my freinds got so drunk he went to sleep outside in his sleeping bag (no tent). When I got up the next morning I snuck outside and fired two shots from my beretta pump-action shotgun and yelled "This is your wakeup call!". One guy got it on film. Hilarious :P

Edit: heres me shooting clay pidgeons:

I'd have a full beard by The Lady Cactus isn't font of my beard at all. I compromise by keeping it trimmed to about an inch long. I've had it long enough I looked like a member of ZZ Top.
