Dear keNt and bnix,
Guys - you should have KNOWN that I'd never have posted " dwarfs " without checking first to make sure it was a correct form. Not that I'm obsessive/compulsive or anything like that. Excuse me - got to go wash my hands again - this keyboard's FULL of germs.
Regards,
John |

@Wolf...just substitute the cold water for vodka. Obviously, you never went to Acadia. I suppose you don't know what a "Purple Jesus" party is either? hehehe
@Kent...So when you say "facial contortions", do you mean like Jim Carrey? That could be *very* interesting, indeed!
@Johnslat...Did you get arrested by the Perfect Spelling and Grammar Police? I've always thought my grammar and spelling were rather exemplary, but I am a nervous wreck posting on these boards!  |

Dear Capergirl,
" Johnslat...Did you get arrested by the Perfect Spelling and Grammar Police? "
They'll never take me alive. And even if they did, there's no Spelling and Grammar penitentiary in the world that could hold me. Pay no attention to those men behind the curtain, Capergirl. They are very good men, but very bad wizards. Just close your eyes, click your ruby slippers together and repeat three times: " Jeez, this is no place like home ".
Regards,
John |

Okay,Kent,so you found a variant(dwarves).Although,somehow,"Snow White and the Seven DwarVes sounds a little ...strange. |

Actually, Ben, it's known as a "jello shooter". We put the jello into little cups and "shoot" it. Potent stuff and yummy if it's done right.  |

@bnix...It's not really a drink per se, but yeah, we might be able to use that as an "ice breaker". I'm still rooting for England as our convention spot, but if not, that just means more jello shots for me and "R".  |

I once paid twp quid to hace some random hippy girl pour a 'vodka jelly shot' down my throat. It was at a party on Brighton beach and the atmosphere ruled out any possiblilty of my airing my suspicion that my 'vodka jelly shot' was in fact nothing more than a tiny portion of lime jelly.
Hey, yanks! Jelly=jello.
You live, and fail to learn...

"Poor baby" @Rob
You see, the problem is that she wasn't a Caper and therefore obviously made the jello shots too weak.
By the way, whereabouts is Brighton? I'm going to be somewhere in Kent (not sure of the exact location yet)...is that close to where you are? |

Usually played with four. Two men/two women (although its best played with three. Two women one man ) Take four waribashi (disposable chopsticks) on the wide end write (K for King,Q for Queen,J for Jack and F for Fool).One person holds the chopsticks hiding the letters and everyone draws straws.Only the king announces who he/she is and then commands the other three to do as he/she commands.For example Jack and Fool hold hands and dance in a circle while Queen you sing us a song.Best when done while drinking shots of tequila reposado or anejos will do.Gets real interesting ! |

Sorry, not Acadia. Purple ... Jesus .... Is this the Jesus they saw at the Tim Horton's next to the Lick a Chick? (Down mods. Good mods. It's the name of the restaurant. No I'm not making it up.)
I know what an omiai is. Not that I've ever been... I got invited to one once. But it got cancelled.
Sorry but I don't know much about booze.
But I do know that the hydrofiol and the telephone were invented in Cape Breton.  |

You got me curious, so I checked. A noted 20th century liguist writes: "In English the only correct plural of dwarf is dwarfs, and the adjective is dwarfish."
But he later says "In this story dwarves and dwarvish are used...."
The latter usage became popular, well, because, this noted lunguist was J.R.R. Tolkien.
Lots of the fantasy stuff that came after uses "elves," elvish," "dwarves," and "dwarvish."
When talking about the fantasy creatures, Tolkien's spelling (which he admitted on page 1 of The Hobbit was "wrong," often gets used.
Sorry, but I have as of today officially been told to stay put at my uni. Free time, oh the free time and nothing but a couple of books and a comptuer.... |

@Wolf...Yep, hydrofoil and telephone...by the same man, no less. Of course, he wasn't born and raised in Cape Breton, but he did invent these fabulous devices (and others) while living in our beautiful town of Baddeck.
As for your Purple Jesus question...nope, not the sighting of Jesus on the side of the Tim's across from the Lick-a-Chick (Jeez, I wish they'd come up with a better name for that place ). A "Purple Jesus" party is as follows: One entire dorm floor is devoted to the party. The people living on that floor get a (clean) garbage can, lined with a (clean) garbage bag, and pour in mucho booze (usually vodka, rum, scotch, ah whatever is lying around...). Then they add purple Kool-Aid mix to the concoction and "voila!", Purple Jesus. The morning after, the walls are purple, the floors are purple, and sometimes the people themselves are purple. lol You've gotta give us Acadia alumni credit...using things like Kool-aid and Jello in such creative ways...buncha budding geniuses, we were.
Now you have me on the omiai....no clue. Sounds like an orgy or something...? lol |

Capergirl,
We do Jello shots (but we call 'em Electric Jello) and Purple Jesuses (Jesi?) in Ontario too. Both always seem like a good idea at the time, and both usually turn out to be quite dangerous. Oh university! |
