Home, Sweet Green Home

Lovely! I had been waiting for the new board to come back. No place like home. *Starts sipping green lemonade* -

WildTaltos replied to Cross's topic in The White Tower & Warders's Brown Ajah

The Emerald Inn and Pub
WildTaltos replied to LilyElizabeth's topic in The White Tower & Warders's Green Ajah
Thanks for the compliments on the cabinet - it is the next best thing to a jukebox. *Tucks it up in a corner of the pub.* I've got a number of compacts, but I only have one record on me so far, an old used one I picked up to test that it even worked. Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book" - I can listen to "Superstition" all I want now, lol.- 606 replies

I'm here. Not doing much other than nodding off in front of emails with classical music on the radio. Found this radio/CD player/vinyl record cabinet a few weeks ago at the secondhand store and I've been putting it to good use since.- 606 replies

What is this doing here?
WildTaltos replied to LilyElizabeth's topic in The White Tower & Warders's Hall of the Tower
Congratulations, good going, you two! -
WildTaltos - Green Sitter I don't like any of them - too pretty boy. But the only actors who I would have liked are all dead or old now, like I think Emilio Estevez would have been good for Mat when he was younger. Not too pretty and a decent actor. Here is an example of his role from Young Guns as Billy the Kid.

Congratulations, Killashandra, welcome to novicehood! -
What Ajah would you be in? (realistically)
WildTaltos replied to Faroresdragn's topic in Wheel of Time Books
I'd be green, given that the one thing I know for certain never gets old for me is fighting and picking fights. -

Hobby Horsing. What do you think?
WildTaltos replied to Ryrin's topic in The White Tower & Warders's Hall of the Tower
Some of those cited just incidentally have items that are non-essential to the sport, and aren't built around the non-essentiallity like "hobby-horsing." I.e. you don't technically need bowling shoes to bowl, that's just a rule in some bowling venues, and you don't need a kilt to toss a caber (that is essential to the Gaelic tradition, though, if that's where it's set, and I would hardly call that "nonsense"). Far as something like hurling goes, the premise is pretty straightforward even if someone would call it an unnecessary embellishment - hit a ball around with a stick (and these could tec -
Hobby Horsing. What do you think?
WildTaltos replied to Ryrin's topic in The White Tower & Warders's Hall of the Tower
I guess if that's what people want to do with their time, that's what they want to do, though my opinion is one from the article: "hobby-horsing [is a] childlike past-time not suitable for anyone aged over 10." If it was for a ceremony, i.e. using a hobby horse to represent a real horse, I would get it, but don't really get it as a supposed sport or pasttime for young adults/adults. They probably don't see boys competing because, if you can get past how ridiculous it looks, most boys probably don't want to be hitting their balls repeatedly with a broomstick anyways.
