Wayyyy back in 2002, a bunch of us got together for the Barliman's Bash in Seattle, Washington, USA. I took a lot of pix. I was just looking at them again, and wanted to show them to you. I got to know these people through the Barliman's chat room here on TORn, and if you go and hang out there, you too could wind up having this much fun some day!! :) http://pounce.skew.org/barlibash2002/ Also on this site (which is my real personal site, but hasn't been updated in forever) I have a whole lot of LOTR selections as ruined by the Google translator ... http://pounce.skew.org/...mistranslations.html Enjoy!

Brings back some memories. Most of those people moved on from the TORn chat ages back. I stopped seeing lots of those nicks a few years ago. I know of a couple still chatting there and there are also a few of the ops from over the years who remain of course. It dropped off once the films were done and dusted more so. Mind you, I stopped opping and left the TORn server over a year ago now, and things have no doubt changed again! New nicks and people chatting I am sure. And chances are new people going to Bash this year :) I hope those who you met at Bash, wherever they may have gone are happy and well. Looks like a good time was had by all that year. Nice to see some familair faces anyways :) Thanks for sharing.

One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end. The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father. Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later aditions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.
Children’s Interpretations of the Bible Lot’s wife was a pillar of salt during the day, but a ball of fire during the night. The greatest miracle in the Bible is when Joshua told his son to stand still and he obeyed him. Christians have only one spouse. This is called monotony. http://mallika.vox.com/

I don't know what was more entertaining: the pics, or the filenames you gave the pics. It's great to put some new faces to names, and to see some well-loved and familiar faces too. Thanks and I hope your birthday was extra special! *bug hugs!*
