The Town of Odyssey

*Dr. Watson strolls onto the scene, cool and calm as usual* "Nobody panic," he says, tapping his walking cane upon the tiled floor of Whit's End. "Finding missing people was my major in detective school. If anyone can find EB, than I most certainly can." *he spots a fingerprint* ...

Nay my good sir.
I haven't ridden a motorcycle.
I haven't stayed on the phone for 7 hours
I have swum in the ocean
I have been stung by a bee (many times)
I haven't been spelunking.
I haven't bungee jumped.
I have fallen asleep in church.


Have you ever won first prize at a state/county fair?

I've read fragments of various Tintin books . . . we don't actually have one in our possession, and I've never really gotten that interested in the comic. Perhaps I should have? :-s Bashi-bazouk! Of course you should be interested! Read one--now, or else I'll send Rastapopulous after you! Ectoplasm...

I was homeschooled through 12th grade, and now I am in my first year of college.

Bring back Dr. Blackgaard's granddaughter--the one that he mentions in "A name not a number." The granddaughter comes back to get revenge on Whit! "Blackgaard's Revenge II"?

but for me personally, I feel that it's no different from any other contest anyone else is hosting. I understand where you're coming from, Shadowpaw. I can see the similarities between contests and the raffle. Perhaps it is mere semantics. However, with contests, participants have to do something; ...

um the whole thing is is that were not really using real money here. sooo whats the problemo? As I alluded to in my original post, just becuase something is pretend doesn't make it harmless. If you are so used to pretending to gamble, then it is so much easier to gamble in real life. And in reality...

Not to open a can of worms here, but... It seems to me that the Odyssey raffle, while a good way to get money, is little like gambling. I mean, you give away money to buy a ticket and have a *chance* that you win. That sounds an awful like the lottery. Now you may say that it's only pretend money, a...

Billions of blistering barnacles, another Tintin fan! Hmm...favorite book is probably Destination Moon/Explorers on the Moon. That was pretty cool with Prof Calculus and the rocket and everything. Next in line is probably The Calculus Affair. Actually, our library has all of the books except The Cal...

I have heard good reviews of Les Miserables but have never started it myself. I must get around to it one of these days--if I can ever get off of ToO!

Who here has read the comic Tintin? I've read all of them, and thought them to be pretty good. They are adventuresome, suspenseful, and funny (especially Thompson and Thomson). I do have some reservations about some of the episodes--namely The Seven Crystalballs/Prisoners of the Sun series. I didn't...

I say, Crest is not my favorite. Aim or colgate for me.

C.S. Lewis, JRR Tolkien, and G.A. Henty. Anyone heard of Henty? He wrote during the late nineteenth-century--somelike a 144 novels and short stories. All of them are adventury stories. The main characters experience wars, battles, kidnappings, sailing on the Spanish Main, etc. They are really quite ...

Will ryan plays Mustafa in "A name not a number" as well.

I play the flute, acoustic guitar, hammered dulcimer, mountain dulcimer, tinwhistle, and recorder.

I've played in public a couple times, but haven't won any awards.

Jezel: "I don't know what I mean!"
Harlow: "I have that same problem too!"

"To borrow the colloquialism."


"I'm not interested in details, only in specifics."

We also sing "Bum bum dada dada waddum chew" quite a bit.
