THAT’s the point - we don’t have yurt construction covered. Sure - teepees, wigwam and other lodge types, but no yurts. We have a need and I was hoping our noob might fill it - go yurts!

He might not need papers - I think I can provide the required zig-zag documentation! ~cks~

Okay, I guess I have been out since the 80’s. I’ll have to stand here alone and on the sidelines with my beers (two fisting it), try to look like I’m supposed to be having fun, that I’m only standing here, plowing them down as fast as I can because I choose to!  
(man, I hate this, hope no one can see through this whole pathetic facade)..

**aaronstevens134** , welcome to the bored! Have a cattle teat and have a seat!  
Hope to see you around! ~shakes hands~

I’m out of papers as well, but I can supply a long slick yellow-leather slab ticket with a blue spanch across it if needed.

Yet another welcome, **aaronstevens134**. What do you know about shaving gorillas? Poor thing’s getting awfully matted. . . .

Ha!

Yes, there certainly is a story! Aint there always?!

I believe it to be romantic but i am probably the only one. I would really love to tell that story but i am sure you would find it nothing but boring!!!

I’d say there are at least 132 more of them (since poor aaronstevens117 got lost somewhere).

Btw, no romantic story is boring! Well, I suppose it depends on who’s reading, but still. Tell the story of the nice Colombian lady.

They are dropping like flies!!

I think i will tell the story but it will have to be in parts as its a bloody long one and also it just dawned on me, to me the story is romantic but to others i am sure i will come across as a raving lunatic. A lunatic who means well though, of course.

Welcome to our playground. If it makes you feel any specialer (is too a word) you’re the first Aaron Stevens I’ve ever encountered, so that makes you unique in my little world. It’s a nice little world. Because I’m nice. Dammit.

But don’t get me started about the SDMB’s inability to fight ignorance when it comes to snood use. Really hopin’ #134 (who is #1?? Are you a number or a Free Man?) Could help there.
