I calculated that I've skated about 65-70km today.

And ice skating is about 10 times as awesome.

Also, I was looking for new skates because mine are old, not a perfect fit and kind of cheap and I want a pair that's a step up in quality (also, I want clap skates).

Starting price for that category of skates: €500. ****.

I go skating a couple of times a year and each year I tell myself I'll go more often because skating is the greatest feeling in the world.
Also, rented skates suck donkey balls.

Ice skating is fun, but hard if you aren't used to it. I've only done it once as an adult, but I enjoyed myself.

For certain Kate fans here :)

I have unfortunately lost my formula for "Pharmacy Kahlua" which we used to make up at Uni. It had a little bit of brandy, vanilla essence, coffee, sugar syrup, water and 90% alcohol. Final alcohol content was around 22% though :)

We used to make up 40 litre drums (about 10 gallons) for our SUPA (Sydney Uni Pharmacy Assoc) harbor cruises. Lot of fantasticly bad nights were had :)

It is almost never used here in Australia now. It certainly has its uses (as in your case) but has a very bad name here due to many cases of date rape. They actually changed the formulation here and included a blue dye in the tablet to make it noticeable if someone had slipped one in your drink.....

The problem is there's only one place to skate down here, and that's the ice rink at the mall. There's no frozen lakes, no really free public places, and in general just not worth really learning how. More people than not don't know how to ice skate down here.

Can't you just skate on that stuff they have outside in the winter, I think they call it ice.

Modern Rohypnol tablets are not just dyed, they're also compressed so that they only really dissolve in hot liquids, and even if the drink is dark and hot, the tablet, when dissolved, leaves a green residue in the glass.

So if you've had a glass of... warm Bacardi Coke... eurgh, and the glass is suddenly green on the inside, you may want to call a cab.

Also with lots of sand and a plastic stretcher. Who needs cold to go sledding?

lol protein. Oregon is an interesting state as far as weather goes. In Western Oregon, where I live and I think protein does too, the climate is considered a "temperate rain forest" or at least that was what I was told in high school biology class. It rains here a lot, but the weather is pretty mild for the most part. On the coast that is particularly true.

Here in the town I grew up in, we have 2.5 seasons. I say a half because the half doesn't last longer than a few weeks. About 8 months of the year, it rains. The temperature varies a bit, but for the most part it's just rainy. Then towards the middle or end of May, it stops raining and starts warming up. Still, even during our "summer" we still get the occasional fog and cold day. Then in the first 2-3 weeks of September, it gets really f-ing hot. At least for Brookings anyways. Like in the low 90's. Ironically, this always coincides with the start of the school year for the primary and secondary kids. So instead of being able to go out and enjoy the hot weather, they're in a classroom with their legs stuck to their seats and sweating miserably. Fun stuff.

In Eugene, we actually have the 4 seasons, which is pretty nice, but the weather is more extreme. Winters there are a lot colder than they are here. Well, right now we're in a pretty rough storm all up and down the coast, and according to the interwebs, we're at about the same temperature @ 46F. A couple weeks ago though Brookings had some freak weather and it was in the 60's here. In January. It was close to freezing in Eugene during this same time. Of course summers are a lot warmer as well and it usually stays nice until mid-October. Sometimes the summers are too hot. It's not uncommon for the weather to be in the high 80's to low 90's on a regular basis.

It very rarely snows either on the coast or in the valleys though. On the coast it's a lot more rare because the weather is milder and the salt in the air. I think in my 22 years of living in Oregon, it's snowed maybe 3 or 4 times in Brookings? I mean real snow, like a couple inches or more. In the valley areas, it snows every 3 or years or so from what I've seen.

Now Eastern Eugene, they've got really weird weather. There's a small mountain range down the middle of the state, as you can see here. Okay, it starts up in Washington and ends up in Northern California, but you get my meaning. On the other side of the mountains, they get snow. Like a lot of snow. Pretty much every year. And I think their summers are a lot warmer too. Y'know how Oregon has this reputation of being green? That's only true of the Western half. The Eastern half really resembles Nevada more than the rest of the state. There's lots of rocks, not quite so many trees, and even some desert-like areas. They're weird.

Heh, never thought I'd drone on about weather for that many paragraphs lol.
