Just hide all the red ones. 
Heh! Actually, I think it’s probably best if we all stick to crayons - you know what she’s like around sharp objects…
Only two weeks to go!
pencils i can do. and a nice seperate eraser, all courtesy of my work store cupboard.
on a lighter note, i did go out friday, spent a fortune and got bitten by one of my mates. friday night fun in wardour street!
Er, that last remark was meant as a joke in reference to Tir’s extensive collection of medieval weapons - I really didn’t mean anything else by it.
(God, I can be such a thoughtless arse sometimes… Sorry, love - no offense meant…)
see - plastic finance is your friend…
What’s a propelling pencil? Is it what we’d call a mechanical pencil on this side of the Pond, for drafting and the like?
That’s right.
invisible money!
Is there some reason pencils are preferable to pens? I’m left-handed and tend to avoid pencils, because then I get the lead all over the darn place.
(And you know what they say: “Lefties are the only people in their right minds.”)
Ahem, no. Want to or not, it’s still not acceptable. Nobody will be inserting anything into any part of me. Even if I do say ‘Jehovah’.
At least not without buying you dinner first.
I didn’t mean to start a pencil panic; a few people with pencils per team will suffice. The rest can just shout helpful answers into their ears at close range.
Not a fan of French kissing, are we?
(Or am I still supposed to call it “freedom kissing?” What the heck; I thought that whole jingoistic renaming business was a crock, anyway.)
Plus, that means no cookies, cake, or rugelah for you, now doesn’t it? Or at least that Angua and I can’t feed them to you like harem girls?
Oh well, more goodies for everyone else.
(P.S. All necessary baking staples have now been purchased! Now I just have to keep from using them up between now and…my goodness, only a week and a half from now until baking time! Yippee!)
Pencils? OK.
(I just thought I’d post something in this thread to show that I’m not actually dead. I’m doing certification exams and NaNoWriMo this month, so I’ve been a bit busy lately. Normal inane chatter will be resumed in due course.)
You mean, we can’t even stone you? :sulk:
Well, I’m sure other Dopers will appreciate our skills.
Quite. Does this therefore mean I don’t have to bake white chocolate chip cookies?
Just kidding! Of course I’ll bake them! No, don’t turn me into a frog! croak
Yippee! I’ve bought almost everything - just need an orange, lots of butter and mascapone.
You know, its really difficult to resist a bag of chocolate covered espresso beans, I’m probably going to have to hide one pack, just so I don’t have to go into town between now and next Friday to buy more. 
Okay the first two i can understand, but isn’t the last one a Sicilian Mafia boss?!
Last time I checked, mascapone was Itallian cream cheese type thing. Trust me, all will be revealled at the DopeFest.
The reason for the mascapone that is, nothing else.
cheesy cookies?!
i guess all i can say is:
:dubious:
Bwahaha!
However, I’m not just making cookies am I?
cheesy pies?!
:dubious: :eek:
