  1. American-style breakfast, from the Army messhall.

    Omelette (ham, cheese, mushroom, a little tomato), side of bacon (three strips... mmm... bacon... the candy of meats), home fries (cubed potatoes, pan-fried with some onion), a slice of french toast (with butter and maple syrup), a banana, and a bowl of Kellogs' Frosted Flakes.

     

    Two or three small glasses of orange juice to wash it all down, and a large black coffee to-go as I'm leaving the messhall.

    I only weigh around 163 lbs... my typical workday burns a LOT of calories.

  2. I've experienced a Scot's breakfast (no black or white pudding, but just about everything else on that list, plus kippers), combat rations for breakfast (Beef Slice in Barbeque Sauce, anyone?) and I've also experienced a Korean breakfast (rice and cucumber kimchi, anyone?)... wotthehell... it's all food. Just make sure I've got a big mug of strong, black coffee to wash it down with, and I can devour anything and smile.
  3. I didn't say Tully was bad. I've had it many-a-time and enjoyed it.

    Red Breast, however, is WAAAAAAAY better.

    (though pricey... the few times I've been able to find it, US$35/bottle)

    You don't have to be Irish to appreciate the difference.

  4. I like that I passed my "surprise" inspection without difficulty.

    I like a good double-shot of Red Breast, neat. (I don't like that it's near-impossible to find in the US... all we can usually get is Jamieson's, Bushmill's, or Tullamore Dew).

    I like that I was offline whilst all the drama was going on, and can resume talking about things I like without stepping on anyone's toes.

     

    I like being here... it's almost like how my family used to argue over the dinner-table.

    Only without getting pegged in the noggin by a thrown dinner-roll.

  5. I like finding out about things before anybody else, sometimes.

    I've got a "surprise" inspection coming up in my barracks, tomorrow morning at 09:00, and I'll be offline for a while until I'm done cleaning.

    Ounce of prevention = pound of cure, and all such.

     

    Until tomorrow, take care, all!

  6. Everybody likes to talk about those things (and their kids or their pets, if they have them), and a smile and a raised glass transcend all language barriers.

    I know plenty of people (Mainly adults) that would feel very uncomfortable talking about sex. So, I have to disagree with you there.

     

    Being in the Army, I know too many people who talk about very little other than sex, so perhaps my viewpoint may be a bit skewed. I'm normally not the one to raise the topic (except with my fiancee, but that's the dynamic of our relationship).

     

    There's a saying, in China, that all human problems can be traced down to either food or sex at their root cause.

    That's part of being an animal life-form.

    I like Chinese philosophy.

  7. There, you're opening up a very deep topic.

    There are three subjects that everybody (and I mean everybody) on the planet can gleefully discuss at great length, without ever stopping.

    Love,

    Sex,

    and Food.

     

    I like that about people; universal constants.

     

    where did you get that idea from Humanbean?

     

    Carth Onasi

     

    Forty-one years of Life has taught me a great many things (with three years in Germany, one in Croatia, one in Korea, and a visit to Quebec). Everybody likes to talk about those things (and their kids or their pets, if they have them), and a smile and a raised glass transcend all language barriers.

     

    Universal constants; I like that about people.

  9. Allow me to be the first to say that I like Dezi's new avatar.

     

    @humanbean: I too feel your pain. Mods have stolen many an hour from my Oblivion playing time.

    I have no idea what that means, so I'll say this: I make a better Pyro than I do a Medic.

    A few posts back I proved you wrong with, I believe, ROFLMFAOZOMGWTFBBQ...copter.

     

    When I was much younger, I served six years in the Infantry. I was a decent troopie, but nothing spectacular.

    I re-enlisted in 2006, and became a Medic, and I can honestly say I'm one of the best medics in the Squadron.

    Killing people and breaking stuff is easy; preventive medicine and trauma treatment is a lot harder.

    I like that I'm better at saving lives than I was at taking them.

     

    That's what that means. :)

  10. I like aquiring wisdom and experience, mostly when I have the opportunity to pass it along to others. There's something deeply satisfying about being the 'Go-To Guy' for certain information, at times.

     

    Of course, I also like an uniterrupted night's sleep, which sometimes doesn't happen when you're the 'Go-To Guy'...

    Meh... c'est la vie.

  11. One of my first times playing; I think my character was maybe 3rd level.

     

    I was meandering around some ruined fort just west of Roxy Inn (I forget which one), I was preparing to enter the door, buffing myself with detection spells, when an NPC Khajiit adventurer comes bolting out of the door with a summoned scamp companion, and rushes right past me.

     

    I was quite confused, spinning about to see what was going on, when the troll that was pursuing the NPC exited the door, and decided I was easier pickings than the Khajiit. Scared the bejeezus out of me, and took me down in about two swipes before I even had a chance to draw my sword.

  12. I like the fact that I've spent more hours futzing about with the many mods I've d/l'ed for Oblivion than I've spent actually playing Oblivion.

     

    I like the fact that I'm a better Medic at age 41 than I was an Infantryman at age 23 (there's some positive karma for ya').

     

    I like how 99.9% of the commentary on TESNexus (and associated forums) is written in grammatically correct language, and not IM(an idiot) abbreviations OMFGLOLBBQEIEIOetc...

     

    "Hookers and lookers and nookie that stings,

    These are a few of my favorite things..." :whistling:
