She had some white flower that she called a "mock orange". She kept saying;"Don't they smell wonderful?" For the life of me, I could not smell anything. It smelled to me like fresh linen. But anyways, I ate a whole bunch of the blossoms, and they were quite tasty.

Never tried to eat my mock orange, but it smells strongly. And it is white. And it is in full blossom. Well, it was in full blossom week ago, but local climate can delay it. Besides, I am in Europe and we are several hours ahead ;)

Tsu, take a look at iBOT. Unlike Segway it allows you to sit, and it can keep you high at the same time :wink:

SHHH!

Chilies, non-fossil fuels, and other exotic forms of energy will win out. I am concentrating on the chilies, in which humble little plants gather energy from the sun and nutrients from the Earth and might someday be able to launch space vehicles. The taste-testing is meticulous, but fun. Other members of the secret society of "hot guys" have their own concentrations, but we will have to play the cards close to the chest until we are prepared for world domination.

Do you think the "hot guys" group can try to defect one of the sisters or is it a hopeless case? maybe Tsu can , after all she's drugged.

That iBot is one serious-looking piece of transportation. You might have to borrow one for a while, Tsu, just to, you know, test drive it and whatnot.

Depends. If you believe in technology, you will not :wink:

The creaziest party in the last 20 years I would say. General idea was to dress the way you never do; somehow it ended with a house full of whores and pimps. I have started in my best suit, most guests were not aware I have one, but I was soon remodeled. Luckily my nails were not painted red, but it was close :smile:

I was going to SAY flats, but I figured there's probably not anyone but you and me on this board who even REMEMBER what 'flats' are! :biggrin: Now everyone thinks YOU fall out of deflated tires... :smile:

Wolly would think she's talking about falling out of apartments.

No, catholic and generally conservative Poland. Obviously not as conservative as some would like it to be :wink:

I would have no problems - not because I ever knew what flats are, but because of my limited English I am accustomed to guessing from the context. I believe Evo already used the word on chat and the meaning was obvious, even if I have no precise idea about how flats look alike - apart from the fact that they are... flat.

Is this anything like "having rounded heels"?

We may be successful in luring Tsu out of her hillside lair. Tsu and Ivan are schedualed to show up here on the valley floor sometime in the next hour for food and fireworks.

The grill is hot, the coffee is made, all that remains is for Tsu to venture out.

Don't you dare let Tsu get hurt!

Then we have to make sure that Tsu and Evo are separated by at least 2000 miles!
