The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Hmm ... that's true.

I do come across as rather nosy, eh?

Well, what can I say. I think people are interesting on the whole, and especially gamers. :\

It's ok. As long as the other person is willing to play along. You've learned the real name of a few of our hivers. What's yours? I don't think you shared that with us.

 

[Aeson]

Well sir ... be assured that I have many levels of things that weird people out.

There is still time ... and layers. Lots of layers.

Hmm.

We seem to have lost the good lady to photoshop tinkering. :\

Well ... what you gotta do, you gotta do....

I think we all have levels of freakiness. You're not alone, brother.

It does appear she lost interest in us.

It's different. That doesn't make it better or worse than traditional Celtic music. I like it but I heard and liked the traditional stuff before.

Well, it depends on one's definitions. A definition is different than a taste-based evaluation.

An elf is an elf is an elf, regardless of the variation thereof, for example.

Whether or not you like, say, Valley elves or Dark elves is another issue entirely.

But if you say a half-elf is an elf, then you are changing the definition of elf itself, even if there are useful or helpful or even kind reasons behind the change, and the result is that the definition becomes useless as a result.

This is perhaps a crude example, but there are several in the english language as well. I am sure you see what I mean. Definitions are a separate issue from evaluations of things.

Actually I have ... but many pages ago. (Big surprise, eh?)

It is Nicodemus. (Although my birth name/aka "legal name" is Nye.)

That's right. You did. I remember now. How could I forget that name?

 

[Mycanid]

They are both pretty rare ones....

Nicodemus is a Greek name and at least some people have come across it before ... it is in the New Testament and it was the name of the old rat in The Secret of Nimh, for example.

But Nye is NOT a common one. Made it kind of difficult growing up while in school. And being a gamer too?

Fortunately I was an athletic sort, so that helped a little. :\

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Good Morning Hive!

 

[Mycanid]

Hey there Fru.

How's things?

 

[Angel Tarragon]

Hey there Fru.

How's things?

I'm doing good. Looking froward to seeing Tony Bennett in concert tonight.

 

[Mycanid]

By the way Fru ... I should apologize for being in such a difficult, punchy mood the other night.

It was a long day for me.... Still not a real excuse though. :\

Tony Bennet? Isn't he the guy who sang "I left my heart in San Francisco"?
