I have a lurking suspicion that my fondness for Earl Grey may be the result of just a little too much Star Trek when I was younger. I mean, any tea Captain Picard likes can't be all that bad, right?

Chai, the kind you buy already brewed, with just a teeny bit of soymilk.
One bag vanilla, one bag peach, with a spoon of sugar.
Two bags of green, straight up. Sometimes with honey or agave.

Well, you could use Yamada Tarou (山田太郎) and Yamada Hanako (山田花子), the Japanese equivalents of John and Jane Doe.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. by

I couldn't resist using the Star Trek reference, sorry...although Earl Grey is indeed one of my favorites. I have a particular brand of Earl Grey that has double bergamot, and is made of pure awesome.
I like most black teas, and also Chai. Although I don't take Chai with milk OR sugar. I drink it black. But that's partly because I'm too lazy to get milk and sugar to store in my dorm room. And then an assortment of herbals.
I never use lemon, I find the combination of bitter and sour to be unappetizing. I'll use honey if I have a sore throat, and milk when I feel like it.

I'm making a banner to go with my latest mission, with the Tomb in the background. I used the Wiki's list of names that are probably on the monolith, but there's still a lot of space left. Does anyone have any names of characters that might be on there (characters from backstories, figures from the Reorganisation that I've forgotten about, etc.)?
Failing that, does anyone have any ideas for any in-jokes or homages I could add for names?

Any sort of decaf takes away one of the principal purposes of tea.

There is just something about Decaf tea, especially Chai-- it does not taste right!

Lots of good songs on this one. Watchmen, Halo, Monty Python, Dr. Mario...My guesses as to the bonus tracks were way off, but probably better than what i thought they were...

That was a book refrence. One that has seemed to go flying over your head. No worries though. What's more, I don't drink. It's against my beliefs...and Im under-age. Case and point, I was just trying to clean the towel of any civilized bacteria. If left unchecked, they might get too advanced. Can't let that happen!

Thanks! Not to be nitpicky, but is a cross-bow a crossbow, or are there some differences? Either way, it seems like a good way to take care of those annoying warrior-sues.

Did try downloading, but got a page full of gibberish in TextEdit....
well, some creative prodding and downloading later, I've managed to get QuickTime to accept things.
Ah, the joys of using a Mac in a world full of PCs. :P
That said, the mix is even more glorious now that I can get the whole thing to sort of cooperate. Thanks again. ^^

What? Wasting brandy to clean a towel? Surely you want to use the brandy to drink and just put up with a dirty towel.

Either Panyang Congu, mint tea, or Earl Grey (and a couple of times I had something called Paris which was really sweet and sort of exotic and I loved it, but the box was almost empty and ran out really fast). Either I throw a couple spoonfuls in a strainer or toss in a teabag, stew for three minutes, and throw in an ungodly amount of sugar and some milk. Way more milk in the mornings so it becomes cool enough to drink in time for me to actually drink it. (Incidentally, I make it by the moderate-size mug, not the pot, so it comes out pretty strong.)
Random depressing sidenote - Earl Grey tea reminds me of my deceased grandmother more than anything else on Earth. The odd part being I never had a clue she made Earl Grey at the family teas until I took a sip of it as a teenager and recognized the flavor. I guess taste really is an evocative sense.

Welcome! Have a cross-bow. In all honesty, it is not my style. I would much rather prefer a elven long-bow (distance over power, Elegance over bulk, etc.). Happy Hunting!

Finally, someone who understands! Anyways, welcome to the PPC. I'm new too. here is a book on simple wand work. As a Potter look-alike (no joke there) it always comes in handy.

Actually there is a lot of really good stuff in the 80's Cartoons bits. Including a textbook example (to my mind) of how to write OCs so they are believable.
Unfortunatly the GI-Joe and TF movies have bought with them a large selection of Fanthings. Sometimes the just reading the summeries of these stories gives me the Rage!
