Got this email from deity daughter, who's been staying in Napperville with other deity daughter and an American family....

Hey peoples, how r u all? well im leaving for the UK tomorrow and pretty excited about that. The USA has been very interesting......California rocked!! The amusement parks are as good as you think, if not better!! Knotts Berry was Em's and my fav - rollercoaster galore!!!!! Followed closely by Universal studios, then Disneyland. It was cool to meet up with my cousins as well! They live in a beautiful part of California, called Laguna beach... along the coast line. Chicago is really pretty... experiencing my first real winter!!! and when i say SO COLD that is an understatement! Very strange to have to scrape 2 inches of snow off the car b4 you want to go somewhere! Living with an american family has been quiet an experience... im grateful to have spent time and seen what Em's daily life is but how she does it... i dont know! The kids are just so different...but i can only say for the ones i have met... actually americans are heaps different... its been a huge culture shock! and the differences from Californians (much more like us...same sense of humor... more laid back etc, bit more used to tourists i guess) to Chicagon's, (very competitive, its american or its crap... bla bla bla) its like going from a different country when you go from state to state... all i can say is im proud to be an Australian! The shops rock! Have got some really really good bargains and been to some really nice cafe's with Em. I luuuuuvvvvv Krispy creme donuts mmmmmm.... donuts... Well i definately wanna come back to California... much more touristy than Chicago. The beaches were heaps nice and the weather was good! Oh Ice skating!!! At Millenium park in downtown Chicago.. now that was fun, lol, Em just couldnt get it, lol!!!! was an outside rink on the main road, all lights and stuff.. was very pretty. The Rainforest Cafe was really cool, and i got to drink !!!!!! Had some of the best cocktails i have ever had and they were cheap! Ive really enjoyed my time here in the states, being with Em, shes still as beautiful as ever. Will be sad to leave her but shes tough and will pull these little yankees into line. They hate being called that

Hope all is well in ozville and i hope my car's going good dad!!!

Which one is Sauron? And which one is his formerly good but now evil sidekick? I vote Ming for Sauron.

Scouse Gits · January 16, 2003, 07:18

Does that make rah Saruman? A scary thought.

deity - why no postings from said daughter? All Civ players should belong to 'Polly!

deity · January 16, 2003, 09:04

I'll drag her along sometime, now that I've quoted her; but she doesn't really play

That was a line...

deity · January 16, 2003, 09:05

Horse for Gollum...

Scouse Gits · January 16, 2003, 09:13

No, no Horse for Boromir - lots of sound and thunder followed by early extinction

Well since Ming had been a mod for almost forever and I've just been converted to evil, I guess that analogy is accurate and that does make the ferrets Saruman.

I'm sure boys don't. I've got two beautiful daughters, and they send me nice sweet notes all the time

And since some are on the LOTR theme...

War4ever · January 16, 2003, 17:09

thats a classic , and many people truly feel Ming is Evil, i mean just look at the avatar

DrSpike · January 16, 2003, 17:12

Hehe, out of all the pics in that thread the one above was my favourite.......Sauron's eye on the sunglasses is a stroke of genius.

My 3 sons ,as they grow older, have lost the ability to even speak to their parents, just a series of grunts.

I see no letters in Horses future.

War4ever · January 16, 2003, 18:54

haha, that goofy smile makes me tremble in my boots,

grunting isn't an aussie dialect?

OzzyKP · January 18, 2003, 23:28

I'm just waiting for a break out of LOTR avatars like the Muppets outbreak oh those several months ago.

War4ever · January 19, 2003, 13:46

good idea OzzyKP....what do u say boys.....

btw, saw two towers last night on IMAX, two words for you FIIcking AWESONE

DrSpike · January 19, 2003, 14:05

Yeah I saw it a couple of weeks ago.......the battle at Helm's Deep is indeed awesome.

OzzyKP · January 19, 2003, 14:55

My Ozzy pic looks kinda like that wurm guy from two towers.

War4ever · January 19, 2003, 16:28

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2003, 20:36

War4ever · January 19, 2003, 23:00

Alexander's Horse · January 19, 2003, 23:19
