So, finally time to read and comment. Ok, this time I must admit i cheated and read the short comments from yesterday, since I didn't have the time to read the stories then. That might have influenced me, of cource. Piratecat A really strong story, but I'm not as impressed as many others. It...

Argh! Two stories to read and no time :( Gaming night tonigh, and I'm just back and should go to bed. No comments until tomorrow morning (my morning, CET) Håkon

That is just plain mean :( I'll probably be so distracted by this that I won't even manage to write comments. So if no more comments are comming, blame Herremann ;) Håkon trying hard not to look.

I know, but you just don't seem like the angry, young man any more, if you ever did. The picture rather gives me the impression of a Flambeau with major Fury and Magical Addiction (that's an Ars Magica reference, btw ;) ) Håkon

Having a slightly conservative outlook on the world; the original one ;) But if you relly need to change it I think you should avoid the second and the fifth. I think they give a totally wrong first impression (even though the "german sweinhound" is a bit funny). I think I prefere the fourth...

Seems that both the participants and the spectators are talkative this time around. And what's up with the new avatar? Håkon

Hmm, a nice day in the snow seem to put me a bit late with comments this time. I'll try to do them without looking at other peoples comments this time as well. Only having two stories to comment on makes it a little bit easier, having three kids running around (that is "going to bed") makes it...

The level of violence is generally very different in different countries. The worst we have had here in Norway is a few episodes where at most 150 people throw beer at the police. And that is rare. I have a season ticket at the stadium here in Trondheim watching the best team in Norway with one...

It looks really nice, yes. 24 points on the 3 Everton defenders so far (including a captain), and one more match to go :D I've got 53 points now, and 5 players will play another match. Maybe I can get a new best round score, and close some of the gap to the lead. I seem to be getting better...

Then I guess the others should be really worried when you enter as a competitor in the next CDM. As an experienced spectator I'll just look forward to it :D But I was sort of promising to comment on the stories, so in the sblock comments for the next 4. By the way, reading things more than...

That is Candice Night singing with the group Blackmore's Night (a pun on the fact that the main persons in the group are Candice Night and Ritchie Blackmore). The song is "Fires at Midnight" and I think it is the recording from the CD "Fires at Midnight". More information and some music can be...

Cold weather (-15 degrees Celsius here) and too much spare time obviously work since I actually got something immideately from this set. But then I don't have to write. I'll only sit back and enjoy the results. And talking about that: You veteran players should look to the newcommers and be...

Nope, I was thinking about this picture which was featured quite prominently in the news in Norway last year. If my memory doesn't fool me (it sometimes does) it shows people with a rare disease living somewhere in the earlier USSR, I think close to the Caspian Sea. The disease forces them to...

Hey! Yangnome! Why didn't I get tickets up there with the muses? They would be much better company than the (tiny) crowd down here... And then some comments on the stories. Good work all of you, I enjoyed the stories. More comments in the sblock. OK, this is the first time I try some "real"...

I don't know much about the US generally an even less about Chicaco (exept what I have learned from old gangstermovies) but don't people look strangely at you if you wear a good coat and real gloves indoors? Even here they do that ;) Håkon Currently looking out at -1, windy and sleet (the...

And with too many injuries and a team built around the Everton defence this looks like a bad round. Pompey managed to not let in any goals, at least, so I will get positive points. The only way to save this round are hattricks from both Anelka and Essien... Håkon

The bottom symbol, of cource. The other one is no bowl at all... Håkon Being lasy (noth bothering to look up the symbols) and living in a country where football is played with your feet and the coverage of the Lingerie Bowl (is that the name of the scantly clad ladies entertaing at halftime?)...

I will not be competing, but I will as always watch closely, and maybe I'll even comment some. Cheering is harder since so far three of my favorite Ceramics are in the list already. Anyone seen Berandor around lately? Håkon Ceramic DM Fanboy

Well, I did good in December, but it seems my luck/skills ended at new years :( Here's to less goals against Everton in 2007 :D Håkon

A bit late, but maybe for another time: Vanilla Ice Cream 1 liter cream (here it is just cream, is "whipping cream" the correct English word?) 2 vanilla pods 250 gram sugar 8 egg yolks. Split the vanilla pods and put them in a pan with the cream. Bring to a boil. Mix the yolks and the sugar in...
