Default The Off Topic Thread

Anything that doesn't fit into any particular thread has a home here. Random words of wisdom and anything totally off the wall . . . just post it here.

I'll start by saying just about anything with potatoes, chiles and/or garlic is bound to be great. Jazz is great. Noodles are a passion of mine. And the start of rap music coincides with the fast degradation of Earth's ozone layer.

Any off-topic words from anybody else?

I remember when rap was good and you didn't have to drive the mandatory Hummer to have street cred.

Default hmmm

chocolate is always a good option for anything,, ya can never have too much chocolate

early mornings just before the sun comes up and everybody else is asleep is a great time of the day

sometimes when i cant sleep my left leg pokes out of the bed covers and i get this rocking motion which puts me right off to sleep in no time flat

hate rap music

strawberries and watermelon are my favourite fruits in summer and feijoas are my favourite in winter

i woke myself up snoring one time

random acts of kindness are always unexpected and appreciated

My surname is Scottish, and when I was a kid my parents took us to Scotland.

Wonderful place, but too bad I wasn't old enough to appreciate the whisky yet.

The fish and chips in a little place in Edinburgh were fantastic.

Yeah, but Liam Neeson in a kilt a la "Rob Roy" was a wonder to behold!
I guess that was the year of movies with men in skirts!

Camping on an Adirondack lake, waking up in the dewey cool of the morning- enjoying that first cup of coffee as the sun comes up and I shake out my stiff joints-that's heaven in my book.
