When we are down to discussing the relative contents of pockets, I think it is fair to say the thread is done.  :lol:

I have nothing in my pocket.  This is because I'm not wearing any pants.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

No one really cared.
Malthus and Jake are not no one.  :cool:

I didn't care either, so that leaves Malthus.

And we have, god help us, read most of your posts here on languish :hug:

Shit, I already carry too much stuff. If my wife is anything to go by, carrying a purse would make that ten times worse.  :lol:

Discussing the contents of pockets is rather redolent of Tolkien though.
