And here you go. Peter Pan.

This is a real dude. NMS, pretty safe for work. Wouldnt really click on it around kids, but there is no nudity, just some really really really really strange dude, and lots of other people, some of whom are almost but not quite anything near as strange as him. Without further ado.

Beer. I drink pints because they don't make 2 pint glasses.


But they do make liter mugs. It's almost a two handed event when full.

Cheers

Omigod...I haven't laughed so much for a long time...Thanks! I needed that. "Pixyland"...no kidding. That guy is more dedicated to his character than a Harley rider, I hate to be judgmental, but I'll go out on a limb here and suggest that he may have some 'issues'. Or maybe he doesn't have any issues at all with his "coming out" costumes as one might initially think. He does seem to attract some pretty healthy looking females, mind you...so maybe he's the one getting the last laugh, who knows?
My Peter Pan comment was, of course, in reference to not wanting to ever grow up. I'm failing at that (as we all do), but our friend on the Pixyland website's a...ummm.....flaming success. He's going to become a caricature of himself in about 5 to 10 years, unfortunately, much like Tiny Tim. And Tom Cruise.

Dude actually digs chicks. I think he plays for both teams though. Who knows, its a mystery.... LOL

Glad you enjoyed it.

Yes, I've undertaken the task of emptying litre mugs from time to time...the only downside to them is that the beer gets warm by the time I'm halfway through. That, combined with their initial weight, makes me prefer my good old British dimpled glass, handled pint pot.

Yes indeed. So called "computerization in the workplace" will eventually be exposed as the greatest crime ever perpetrated on working people. Our tiny minds are quite simply not up to the task of working with these devices. We still need to use our own brains, which we've pretty much abandoned. Computerization in the Workplace has been a godsend to puppy-making upper management types who were/are/and always will be incapable of doing any constructive, real work like the rest of us. They now believe that meetings and emails are actually a job. Hopefully we'll smarten up and find a Better Way.rant:
Yeah...I've been hoisting my pint pot again this evening. I really must get into Hellgate's beer thread. Americans talking about "good beer" is like me (a Brit) talking about "good food". :
