WANT!

I would like one of these please. Only need a bit of land and £3k.

Wooo!

Seriously though, that's gorgeous.

That is a pretty cool development although as I recall the designs for such an idea have been around for awhile. I believe I saw something about them in a book years ago. Wouldn't mind living in one! Just need to find and buy the land.

In terms of the aesthetic it's a bit twee for my tastes, but a nice idea nonetheless. Unfortunately I imagine you need a spot of land with some very specific features to get a place like that to function properly.

Well Boboss, as you don't age you'd have to go live with the elves anyway.
 
 
Boboss
11:23 / 16.08.07
Nope.

I'm gonna live beyond the stars

Yeah, don't go with the elves, dude. You have to speak veeeery sloooowly and wear diaphonous robes, an' alla that shit. Dwarves, every time.

Incidentally (and back on topic) check the Guitar Wolf thread. Scroll down to the photos. The Gibson SG guitar with the bumblebee yellow stripes? NEEEEEEEED!

Yeah, it seems that for elves, the price of eternal life is eternal smugness and self-satisfaction.

See, those are just the wrong sort of elves. Stick with the hard-drinkin', reality changes when we get smashed and sing, slightly psychotic swingin' wood-elves.
 
 
Boboss
12:34 / 16.08.07
Wood elves? They're exactly the kind of people I'm steering clear of over the next 1000,000,000 years.

I'm gonna get me an intergalactic space city!
 
 
lord nuneaton savage
12:37 / 16.08.07
I've already got one. And it's bigger than yours.

Boboss, not to be the bringer of all bad news, but space? Deep space? The kind where you put cities and pangalactic empires? Full of wood-elves. Reading dirty books for college, listening to Guitar Wolf, and opening and closing connectors willynilly.

Better off just leavin'em be, before they start eyeing us as the alien trash of the galaxy.

There's my WANT! right there: intergalactic superpeace and all-species unity and alliance in all the big shiny space-cities. It's a three-step plan, but I figure it could work.
 
 
Boboss
12:45 / 16.08.07
Good idea!
 
 
Lea-side
13:14 / 16.08.07
Elves? In space? Are you sure? Perhaps they might have different name, maybe something starting with a 'E' and maybe they might have disc-shooters pointy helmets and large walking contraptions, and..

Oh no! I've said too much!
 
 
Boboss
13:26 / 16.08.07
Yeah, I think I could do without the elves in space... and the squats for that matter.
 
 
Lea-side
13:34 / 16.08.07
yeah, a bad case of the squats and yr night is over...

Modified Chaos army hand painted by Mike Mcvey?

NEEEEEEEEED!

NO BLOODY CITADEL MINIATURES IN MY SPACE FANTASY!

I'd probably go for living with the Wood Elves first if it came down to it, but this aswell :

Yeah, if you chopped them off just above the ankle those'd be some sweet Nikes.

I just got home from work with the intention of the "Things you cannot afford, and even if you could you shouldn't buy because it's stupid, but you still desire with a passion akin to a million exploding stars" thread.

This one'll do though.

WANT SO MUCH I MIGHT CRY.
 
 
Boboss

Is quite cheap

Damnit Flyboy, I almost added 'and no, not the nikes'. Those things ruin the picture actually, it sucks.

For the leeches to quit with the low blows, or the low blowing which ever ceases first.

I would like a dog for two hours.

For some reason I thought that sentence was an expression of longing and there ought to be another verb in it. "I would [verb] like a dog for two hours for that sailor-suit."
 
 
Phex: Dorset Doom
23:34 / 20.08.07
I don't know what the verb should be, but I know what it shouldn't be.

On a completely unrelated note, unrelated to any other note in every way possible: that song 'Closer' by Nine Inch Nails- quite good isn't it?
 
 
The Freewheeling Convo

23:59 / 20.08.07
Yes. And it's even better with Kirk and Spock

Those things ruin the picture actually, it sucks.

You're right - they bring the taint of the crass commercial mainstream US zeitgeist into Back To The Future Part II.
