Most New Years resolution last until Ground Hog's day. With that in mind I resolve to be celibate!

Seriously, I resolve to give up cheese, except on pizza (Chuck E. Cheese dad who won't be able to resist).

I resolve to ignore Peter's posts again (well, sorta. I'll defend him when he's right but won't waste my time when a crowd is telling him he's wrong.)

I resolve to never write, "That is a good point. Pity it is on your head."

Of course you will. Your Peter's sock puppet.

Believe what you want, Peter.

CORRECTION: the previous post should say:

Believe what you want, Stranger.

I resolve to be more compassionate towards others, especially those that annoy and anger me, not simply dismiss them as ignorant savages; to actually write a chapter of my epic novel; to support the movie industry by seeing Lord of the Rings a half dozen more times (at least); and also to help put a large dent in the chocalate supply.

I resolve to finish up the rest of the chocolate supply.

Also: To find out whether I actually, seriously have any writing talent;
Watch really good movies and read really good books, instead of just the ones that make me laugh the most (this one's more or less annual);
Spend less time on the Internet and more out experiencing the real world (ditto);
Pay my bills on time;
Clean the cats' litterbox out more often;
And of course work for world peace...and possibly something more than peace with the right member of the male gender...

>I resolve to finish up the rest of the chocolate supply.>

I hope you just mean the chocolate in your house, not all of the chocolate in all of the world. It sounds like the kind of disaster that regularly occur on "Whose Line is it Anyway?" If it is all of the chocolate in the world, I guess we'll have to call Vocabulary Man and Toupee Boy.

Ccabe, what are your evil twin's resolutions?

Not to mention Captain Inappropriate Touching, and Flatulence Man!

Getting just a bit off-topic here: I wonder how much support there would be for a little improv board on Nitcentral. Some of the LICCers, the South of MST3k Crew, and myself have played a few on AIM and in Pesti/Reddochat, and it turned out rather fun. With the clever posters we have around here, I bet a moderated Whose Line-style improv game board could be interesting. Any comments?

My resolutions for the next year:

1-Conquer Madagascar, the first step in ruling the world. Muhahahahahahahahahh!

2-Grow a really cool goatee

3-Eat all of kerriem's chocolate.

Your suggestion sounds intriguing, JD...could you explain the setup a little more?

Vcabe...in response to No.3 above...with apologies to Jack Benny:

Vcabe: Your chocolate or your life?

kerriem: Loooooooong pause

Vcabe: C'mon, c'mon, your chocolate or your-

kerriem: I'm THINKING about it!

Well, basically, each game played would have its own board, or to save space we could group together games of the same type on one board.

The games played generally would be the same as on the improv show Whose Line is it Anyway?. There are many different types of games, and can require different numbers of players, from one to 4.

"Let's Make a Date", for instance, is set as a dating-type TV show in which one player is a bachelorette looking to pick one of three "bachelors", played by the other three players. What makes it special is that each "bachelor" has a "quirk", a funny performance suggestion that they must act out. It could be anything from "Trying to have a relaxing bath while being pestered by neighbors" to "Richard M. Nixon". After two rounds of questions, the bachelorette must guess the other player's quirks.

Often on the television show, the players can use movements and false voices to portray their quirk, but we can use actions in italics and such to simulate this.

Some of the games played on Whose Line are very visual, and wouldn't work on a discussion board, but there are quite a few that would work in a text-based enviroment. If I get this board set up, I will of course provide complete descriptions and rules for a number of games that could work well in the discussion board format.

Sounds like fun! Count me in.

Okay! Anyone else like the idea?

Merry,

I thought you might like this. A desert at a local retaurant/bar is called death by chocolate. It is a devils food cake with rich fudge icing and dark chocolate "crusty decorationy things" with chocolate ice cream and topped by chocolate flavored whipped cream.

It was a Libertarian committee meeting so my saying, "Give me liberty or give me death by chocolate" as everyone else ordered real meals actually fit.

Give me directions to that restaurant. I wanna go. Do they deliver long distance?
One of my favorite ice creams is Turkey Hill "Death By Chocolate" It looks like mud, but it is soooo good.
Another new and delicious flavor is Turkey Hill Philadelphia Style Vanilla. Both are kind of hard to find, but worth it.
Best potato chips-Herr's Red Hot. Beats Wise or Frito-Lay any time. Can't eat them without a cold drink, though.

MMMMMMMmmmmmm...chocolate flavored whipped cream.

I feel of the wagon today. I had a choice between a salad and baked potato at Wendy's or the pizza bar at Pizza Hut. The little devil on my shoulder won. I had already decided to post about Mayday being used to re-affirm your resolutions. Oh well, at least I'm still celibate.

Kerriem, I took my kids to a chocolate show. Area chocolatiers (sounds like they work for Disney.) competed in several categories. Of course before voting, you had to have some more samples to be sure. The winner for most unusual was a chocolate covered potato chip.

BTW, your using seven capital "M"'s hath insulted me greatly. As the insulted I shall choose the weapons. We shall use fudge covered spaghetti noodles.

Some resolutions lasted well into August. I fought the demon of delicious dairy delights and lost. Cheese is everywhere. (It's like Elvis, dude.) (To the tune of "I fought the law and the law won": I fought the cheese and the cheese won.) Even if you are trying to be good you'll be tempted by teens making minimum wage. For instance at Subway if you order the veggie delight they will ask if you want cheese. (Then they ask if you want mayonnaise on the diet food.)

As for ignoring Peter, well Dwimble got a rise out of the Licentious Libertarian Liberally drinking Libations on the Linoleum at the Library. (Dwimble pointed out that "libertarian" and "libertine" had the same root in an effort to dismiss me.) When I knew it was Peter I was ok. Of course, he was banned.

OK, that is my mea culpa. I'm not forcing anyone, but it is 12/31. How'd you do? (Kerriem did you get published? Merry did the $tupid people get you down?)

I can't find "Death By Chocolate" ice cream any more. Maybe it's just as well, since I would probably eat nothing but that, and get all the nice side benefits, like clogged arteries.
Edy's has relatively new flavor out - "Slow-Churned Cookies and Cream Light Ice Cream." It sure doesn't taste like light ice cream. It tastes absolutely wonderful, and I could probably eat a container (56 oz.) in one sitting.
