Top Ten Signs You're Addicted to the Barrow-Downs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

...and I have Thinsulate gloves and an Agadir III Wolfskin backpack. There's actually even a story about the backpack.

Agadir the Third was the King of the Dwarves and the ancestor of Aganzir. But not only was Agadir a king, he was also a Werewolf, who slaughtered a lot of his kin at night. On one stormy night he tried to murder a prince, but a glorious princess came out of nowhere and killed the mad king. Together with the prince, they made a magical sack out of Agadir's wolfskin. The legend says that whatever you put into the magical sack, will look harmless to the security guards at airports.

Surely you don't happen to be speaking about my performance in Saucie's WW, Volo?

And also Lommy had a Thinsulate hat when she was small.

I just remembered something more.
Today, some girl in my English class told about a book she had read. The author was Mary Higgins Clark, and somehow my mind kept twisting it into Mary Noggins Clark.

I edited my previous post adding the part in italic.

Hmm... I wonder if it's a sign of addiction that already after you've switched off your computer, you remember a minor detail like that, turn on the computer, edit your post and switch it off again. And it's 00:30 here... Or is it just a sign of personal perfectionism or something?

Oh, you just reminded me of something - I did not consciously realise it, but since the first time I saw Nogrod's name written as "Noggins" (which must be a long time ago), I started to think of the lyrics to one of the songs in the musical "My Fair Lady" as "Just you wait, Mr. Noggins, just you wait!" This song generally sounds in my head (with these lyrics) from time to time when I play WW...

You must have terrible werewolf-sessions Legate!

Or is that the reason I always get suspected in werewolf... because everyone is humming that song?

It's not that bad. It's sort of a stimulant, you know. And quite often I don't even have many reasons to suspect you, either.

Oh no, it's happening to me as well!!!

When you start chuckling helplessly in a choir practise where the conductor tells you to sing in legato.

When you read a book and where it says morn you automatically read it as morm.

Or this one, rather old actually, from November I think? I had a Swedish lesson where we were given an oral exercise. The instructions were to form small groups and sort of roleplay a family discussing what to do on holiday. One of the roles was "pappan Rune" (pappan means father in Swedish) Do I need to say more?
Actually, yes. I was doing the role of Rune's wife.

Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, Volo was Rune. I seem to remember that the discussion ended up in a divorce...

Volo · 01-23-2008, 10:19 AM

Yes, indeed! And our two children didn't have a say in anything...
