Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The "Know Your Legion Worlders" Game Round Three

Excellent story. But was does NAP stand for? Or is that classified information?

It is... but as a Legion Worlder, your clearance level is high enough.

Turns out it's not an abbreviation at all. The word "nap" just means "a thin covering" from which the word, "napkin," or the slang, "nappie," are derived. Apparently it's also used in cooking, to describe a thin layer of sauce. "Nap of the earth" describes the blanket-like pattern created by flying at a fixed level from the ground.

Who knew? (Certainly not the guy from the story!)

What an incredible story!

I'll never look at a ladybug again without involuntarily shuddering in apprehension...

Wow, Ex! That's quite a story. I am in awe.

My staff at the library have been talking about having a get-together outside of work. What are we going to do?

1. Have a picnic.
2. Go to a local amusement park.
3. Spend a day at the beach.
4. Karaoke.
5. Have a potluck at my house.
6. Go to dinner at a nice restaurant.
7. See a movie together.
8. Go dancing.
9. Bake cookies together.
10. Are you kidding? We need time apart!

4. Karaoke.

2. Go to a local amusement park.

(Well, that's what I'd want to do.)

Good guess, LFR, but, now that AstroWorld has closed, we really don't have an amusement park in Houston.

Actually, Quis has the correct answer. We're planning on doing a karaoke night. Assuming they still have it at this place, my staff will get to hear my rendition of "The Boxer" and some other Simon and Garfunkel songs (that's what I seem to sing best).

Go, Quister!

(Dang it! As a thrill ride aficionado, I knew that, too... I hear the Kemah Boardwalk has a great new(ish) wooden coaster, though.)

We definitely need to have a karaoke night at the next LW meet-up, if only to hear the tuneful song-stylings of Hoppy!

Yeah, I'd like to hear Rocky sing... with and without a choir

I recently attend my niece's wedding. I gave her several gifts from her registry. In the list below, which did I give her in addition to four other gifts?

1) Crestwood Platinum Gravy Boat
2) Continental Dining 3-Piece Serving set
3) Diana 9-Ounce Double Old Fashioned Glasses
4) Kitchen Smart Oven Mitt
5) Cuisinart Smart Power Premier Blender
6) 36 inch George Foreman Grill
7) Oxo 12 inch Rolling Pin
8) Spectrum Euro Three-Bottle Wine Rack
9) Oxo Good Grip Smooth Potato Masher
10) Rowenta Professional Garment Steamer

8) Spectrum Euro Three-Bottle Wine Rack

(It's got "Euro" in it, so you know it's classy )

NOpe, not the wine rack.

5) Cuisinart Smart Power Premier Blender

Because husbands may come and go, but a Cuisinart is yours for life!

6) 36 inch George Foreman Grill

Everyone loves a George Foreman Grill!

I did get her and her husband a Cuisinart Sandwich Grill, but not the Blender. And although everyone does love a George Foreman Grill, it would be a duplicate of the sandwich maker, don't you think?

3) Diana 9-Ounce Doubl e Old Fashioned Glasses

Nope, I'm not going to assist my niece in drinking.

Drinking?

I thought "Double Old Fashioned Glasses" just meant those chained bifocals that librarians used to wear in the 50's. I thought "9 Ounces" was a bit heavy.

Some still do!

9) Oxo Good Grip Smooth Potato Masher

'Cuz I love mashed potatoes.

And you look so lovely in yours

But alas, I did not get then the Potato Masher. They will have to settle for baked potatoes.

10) Rowenta Professional Garment Steamer

Do you have to be a Professional to use it though?

I was tempted to get the garment steamer, but I think only my niece would be using it and I wanted to get things for both of them.

2) Continental Dining 3-Piece Serving set

Cuz I am trying to be a good servant.

And I often dine. And live on a continent. Ah, jeeze, really cuz "Santiago" wasn't an option.

Well, hopefully someone else bought them that or else they'll be eating with their fingers.

Santiago
