Inaugural Layonaran BBQ - South Eastern Australian Division
I can confirm the inaugural Layonaran Xmas BBQ was a success and saw the gathering of such luminaries as Pseudonym (http://forums.layonara.com/members/pseudonym.html), Script Wrecked (http://forums.layonara.com/members/script-wrecked.html), Incahootz (http://forums.layonara.com/members/incahootz.html), Angelic (http://forums.layonara.com/members/angelic.html), Hood!um (http://forums.layonara.com/members/hood-um.html), Dezza (http://forums.layonara.com/members/dezza.html) and Polak76 (http://forums.layonara.com/members/polak76.html).
The great divide between cyber and real life has been crossed with no casualties!
I can also confirm Script Wrecked really is a 2' 6" woman who rolls her 'R's, Polak turned up in black robes spouting Corathite rhetoric and Pseudonym was far more handsome than any of his posted photos might suggest.

Don't forget to mention his lilac colours Pseud! :D

Well done chaps/ladies.
-
Nice. Very shway.
-
hah! it was a good night, thanks for that :)

Glad to hear you guys had a great time. Over here in Orlando, Florida, we all mostly knew each other out of game before joining layo. So just about every other night, myself, Pooser and Mangle-Or are getting drunk together. Czukay unfortunately moved to Denver 2 years ago, we dont know where Klugger went a while back after graduation, or Carentelli but soon we're hoping to get two more of our PnP buddies to join up soon!
Pretty much all of us have sat at the same PnP table gaming before, either with myself or Pooser GMing. Right now Pooser does D&D, and I stick to Shadowrun.

Bloimey, that is rather nice.
Crikey.

We want pictures!

That thought occurred to me ... shortly followed by the thought that not all present might be as gregarious as myself.
I'd also like to apologise to Hood!um who, as the sole player of a dark elf character, was the only one present who was subject to unprompted spot checks even though everyone was wearing similar face-concealing hoods.

Then check! Pictures!

*Secretly wonders if Psuedo is aware that face concealing hoods are a health hazard, as they make it difficult to see where you are going*

I feel that Ed will keep repeating the phrases "check!" and "Pictures!" until you provide evidence. :)
// no insult to Ed. :D

I was tempted to take a photo of Mrs Pseudo's (or Hood!um's girlfriend's) face when the conversation inevitably turned towards the absence of non-metallic medium weight armour for druids or the redundancy of the rogue class given the prevalence of pixies as a spellcaster's familiar but as I did not, instead I have attached a photo of a random woman yawning (courtesy google image search - keywords "bored woman") which I hope will be an adequate substitution.

after 6 heineken's i thought that topic was quite amusing :) that and bashing script's female dwarf :) ...and arks profession..and derricks...(etc etc)

You are avoiding the issue Pseud.

the local police certainly took pictures - can't you use those?
-
Pseudo's wife banned the use of photography not wanting proof to ever be produced that she had participated in such a night!

*points and nods sagely* Told you so. :)

Speaking of Aussie barbecues, I read in an article that kangaroo is farmed for meat. How's that taste? Is it actually popular enough to find in a grocery store? Here in Florida we have some restaurants that serve gator, and it mostly just tastes like the thin-sliced roast beef they use in Arby's. Not really in any of our grocery stores... you need to find some themed bars and restaurants to get it.
Ah yes, and one of my Aussie college friends says that Fosters is rarely popular beer there, considered more like Americanized "gimmick beer". True or not? Which beer was the beverage of choice for the barbecue?
-
Who cares? :p

Kangaroo is indeed farmed for meat! Not many countries can boast that they eat their national emblem! It is actually very nice, a very lean meat with little to no fat. It tastes slightly different to normal beef or lamb and such and takes a little to get used to but once you do it is very tasty.
One point though..it needs to be cooked precisely, too rare and its tough as nails, too much and its tough as nails, it's got to be cooked...just right.
Most supermarkets stock and sell Kangaroo meat.
Fosters is one of the most popular beers here yes but in the last few years there has been an explosion of new aussie beers which have also become very big on the markets, like Carlton Cold, Blonde, etc. Fosters is one of the older beers which is also very popular in the Mother country...Britain heh.
We actually eat a few other native animals but you can only find Kangaroo in supermarkets. Crocodile and emu can also be found but only in 'Modern Australian' classed restaurants.
Hope that helps!

I've had kangaroo. It's tasty.

I thought blonde was from Denmark... O.o

Anyway since there's so many fine Layonarans in Australia, I put it to you to decide which one of you lucky people will host me when I come to your fine land (eventually). I promise I'm not even 1% as grumpy as Fenrir...

Even 1% as grumpy as Fenrir is grumpier than a 'normal' man.
