Wow, two of my three favorite things in one product! I'd love to try that.
I'd happily loose some in the mail, but sending it over the boarder makes me a little uncomfortable (for both the sender and receiver's sakes) with the attidute towards "not banannas" in the USA... in Canada if I got caught they'd probably just phone me and ask me to keep it at home :D , but the US is a wee bit nutso. Of course, they would have no reason to suspect a bottle of honey wine to be anything other than what it appears to be...

What's your third fav? Teenage girls? I can't put that into a bottle! :lol:

I'd NEVER ask you to do anything illegal! Just wishfull thinking.

They don't HAVE to be teenagers, but no, not a taste you want to bottle. :lol:

Well, it's one of those things that's only marginally illegal up here, I'd get in more trouble if I got too many speeding tickets, unless I was brewing vast quantities to sell (which I would never do - I'll happily accept gifts of honey in exchange for mead, or just give it away to friends, but selling is a no-no).

It does sound like something you'd enjoy though, I'm sure there's a way it could happen.

Free speech is a funny thing. You have a right to your opinion, indeed...and so does everyone else on this site.

However, think of it this way...someone pays for this bandwith. Someone maintains this site. Think of it as their house, if you will. They were nice enough to invite you in as a guest, but if they ask you to leave, you leave...it's just in this case that "asking you to leave" is banning you.

Free speech is great, but I don't go crashing into other people's houses to make them listen to my opinion, either. If you're concerned with people hearing your opinion...if you want to make it available to others and you don't want to be "censored"...start your own website. That way, you can run it the way you want, without worry of having your apparent...um...creativity stifled.

I personally feel that this message board, Jacurutu, is full of hateful folks who don't know
how to fully interact with people.

Arguably a better website than I could make, though if you had to choose between a website with KJA or no website at all...I think we all know what you'd choose!

You are not free to yell "fire" in a theater, for example.

it depends if the theatre is on fire would be an appropriate time.
That's how I wrote the novel, wanting you to participate with the best of your own imagination. I did not aim for the lowest common denominator and 'write down" to anyone. You and I have a compact and my responsibility is to entertain you as richly as possible, always giving you as much extra as I can. I assume you are intelligent and will enlist your own imagination. You'll see that when you read the Dune excerpt and the other stories in this collection.

it does look good - very good, proving wordpress must be some good stuff

point was, Brian Conway's blaghing to himself - the only traffic
he's gotten was us slamming on his WoD review - the forum has
4 members -me, Conway, and two of Conway's sockpuppets.
