Today I learned how a mp3 player works! Finally i can put some music on it!
I also learned today that I'm going to a very though road when it comes to autism. A very though road.

So...what did you learn today?]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7848/what-did-you-learn-today/ Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:16:40 +0000 WolfMoonSky http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7829/more-from-boingboing-net/

For the Go-Backs I would choose the video I've attatched in this post. This is because that band, Intrigue is a Sami Heavyjoik band, and to me the Go-Backs are Abode's answer to the Sami.]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7812/tribal-theme-songs/ Wed, 06 Feb 2013 19:28:22 +0000 Crucent http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7793/how-would-you-go-about-measuring-the-temperature-using-a-witchs-t-tt-es/
LOL!
I suggest really good binoculars, a good vantage point or disguise and luck.
Anybody else?^^]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7793/how-would-you-go-about-measuring-the-temperature-using-a-witchs-t-tt-es/ Sun, 09 Dec 2012 12:17:11 +0000 Crucent http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7757/definately-off-topic/ But still hilarious XD http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7757/definately-off-topic/ Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:06:16 +0000 Crucent http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7755/that-moment/
I can't believe somebody would just steal it like that!

And now that we're on the topic of stealing, who stole my avatar? Some crafty fourfinger I suppose...

More to the point, why am I here? I'll get back to that later*

I have a question for people who have kept coming back to this message board (and more now, it seems??) over the last years;

What brings you back? Why do you keep coming here? And how have your reasons for visiting on a regular basis changed over time?

That's it for now, Abode Outpost #11 over and out!

As started in the "Get to know each other" thread, our fandom challenges sparked the idea for some fan filled fun!

Basically, who ever you are an adoring fan of in the EQ series can strike a challenge to the fandom challenge posted last. The idea is to get as creative, silly, and fun with your fandom challenge based on the character who you adore

Example

Kindredsoul: MY CUTTER FANDOM CHALLENGES ALL FOR RIGHTFUL CLAIM TO ALL DREAMBERY BUSHES ON THE ABODE!!!

Nibblet: My Petalwing fandom challenged Cutter with a "PATOO" spit of wrap stuff and steal all the dreamberries!!

Kindredsoul: *fumes* My Cutter fandom slices through the wrap stuff with New Moon and RAWRS after Petalwing who gets caught in a wolf's mouth of wolf drool!!


Get the idea?

Anyone can jump in at anytime! Have fun!!]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7731/fandom-challenge/ Tue, 24 Jul 2012 20:09:24 +0000 Kindredsoul http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7719/that-spam-thang-__/
Just complete and total random madness for the sheer fun of it *winks* Soooooooooo..... here I go.....



*enters the empty thread pulling in an over sized cart..... stops and then proceeds to dump countless, random junk out from the cart to sprawl and cover the floor with clashing sounds echoing throughout the empty room*

Nerf guns.... check

Water balloons..... check!

Cans of silly string..... check.... Ohhhhhh neon green too!! *giggles*

Fire extinguishers..... check


*gets poked repeatedly in the back and turns around to find Cutter glaring up at me* *clears his throat and crosses his arms* "....Fire extinguishers, Kindred?"

*blinks innocently* "Uhhhh.... yep!!"

*Cutter slowly arches an eyebrow*

*gives him a wide cheesy toothy smile* "Welllll...... you've seen this happen before..... especially when nibblet's involved... O.o"


*watches Cutter facepalm himself and groan as I proceed to continue with the checklist*


*Skywise enters with a sly grin.....both hands behind his back...*


*Cutter's right eye begins to twitch at him*


*Kindred continues with the checklist of random fun stuff, totally unaware of what's going on between the two"


*Skywise leans close to Cutter with the same sly grin growing wider*



*I start to tap my head in thought at the list* I just know I'm forgetting something....."


*Skywise nods slowly to my words while still grinning at his chief*


*Cutter scowls with suspicion*


*Skywise throws his hands in front of him, holding two bunnies by their ears and then releases them* RABBITS!!!!!!!! *Now runs off for his life as Cutter chases him* "You are so dead!!!"]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7719/that-spam-thang-__/ Sat, 07 Jul 2012 05:51:33 +0000 Kindredsoul http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7707/temporary-chat-thread/ ]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7707/temporary-chat-thread/ Fri, 22 Jun 2012 23:39:13 +0000 Embala http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7704/universal-friend/
She was recognised by the Seneca (se-nuh-ka meaning "Wolf") by the native Americans who cohabitated the land she settled. She provided for the Seneca tribe in times of scarcity.

She called herself the "Publick Universal Friend" and professed to be androgynous, a spirit inhabiting her body. Many ideas that were novel in her time that are accepted today did she promulgate.

History, or at least the people's commonly accepted version of history, seems to indicate that a man named "George Washington" was the first "white" man to be reckognised as the Chief of the Amerikans, but it was a woman who was once called Jemima Wilkinson.]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7704/universal-friend/ Sun, 27 May 2012 05:27:47 +0000 Yanclae http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7646/what-was-the-first-cd-you-owned/
So let me ask you all - what was the first CD you bought, and how early did you jump on that bandwagon? (Yes, it's an indirect way of asking "How old are you?" but that's unavoidable. )

Curious to know the answers here; the more unusual the better!

(My first CD, for the record, was Peter Gabriel's "So" in 1988; got it along with the Sony Discman that was my 16th birthday present. )]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7646/what-was-the-first-cd-you-owned/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 06:14:44 +0000 Kir the last Go-Back http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7637/characters-in-any-media-you-simply-hate/
I think my top choice is Mel from Doctor Who-the Colin Baker and Sylvester Mc Coy Years. Bossy, unlikable, annoying and a parody of the near useless screaming Companion. People who think Rose and Amy Pond are annoying have never seen Mel!]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7637/characters-in-any-media-you-simply-hate/ Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:21:05 +0000 Magic_Toenail http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7625/polygamy-polyandry-polygyny-group-marriage/
This information may be dated, but ten countries allow same-sex marriage, as do a growing number of American states. Australia recognizes same-sex marriage if the union was established before one partner changed genders.

The American states are evenly split on allowing first cousins to marry. Marriage between cousins is legal in many countries, and may account for ten to twenty percent of all marriages worldwide.

About fifty countries sanction polygamy. Australia and the UK recognize plural marriages performed elsewhere. Between American states, polygamy varies from a felony to a misdemeanor.

I grew up in a country in which polygyny was legal. Marriage laws were strict, though. My parents had to marry in an American air base in another country, because they weren't citizens.

Men were allowed to have up to four wives, if they were citizens and Moslems. However, none of my native friends came from polygynous families. I only once visited a polygynous family. The husband was a successful businessman.

My mother explained the legality of having more than one wife. The law required wives to be treated fairly. There was no "favorite" wife. Each was entitled to equal attention and equal support. If one wife got a diamond, the other wife got a diamond. if one wife got a house, the other wife got a house. If one wife got a car, the other wife got a car. And since women were not allowed to drive, each wife required a chauffer. Of course, each wife was capable of having children. So the legal right to have multiple wives was like the legal right to buy a private jet and fly to Tahiti. A man was limited by his means.

In the U.S., cases of bigamy occasionally make the news. In "Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith," author Jon Krakauer mentioned a suburb dominated by fundamentalist LDS families consisting of mulitple wives. Islamic immigrants may practice polygyny in secret. More commonly, though, American men of all ethnic backgrounds father children by multiple women, regardless of marital status, and let the state pick up the tab.

I'm not suggesting we line people up for group marriage licenses. But imagine if a married man abandoned his wife, lived with his girlfriend for years, and suddenly found himself legally married to two women? What if an African refugee, who lost his farm and business to conflict, were permitted to enter the U.S with both of his lawfully recognized wives?]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7625/polygamy-polyandry-polygyny-group-marriage/ Thu, 26 Jan 2012 04:08:39 +0000 Trollbabe http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7622/wolves-in-movies-tv-and-other-entertainment-media/
I was pleased with "Alpha and Omega." I mentioned I was turned off by a Christmas special a few years ago, called "The Flight Before Christmas." In the latter, wolves were portrayed as evil because they hunted reindeer. They are finally persuaded to become vegetarians.

"Season of the Witch" includes a scene involving hostile wolves, but I think they are under the influence of evil magic.]]> http://www.elfquest.com/social/forum/thread/7622/wolves-in-movies-tv-and-other-entertainment-media/ Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:11:43 +0000 Trollbabe
