That's a thirsty little smiley! Looks like he's drinking a Guinness!

 

Reminds me of doing "boat races" when I was act college

 

What's a "boat race," James? Is that a British drinking game?

 

Certainly is Charlie ......

8 people stand in a line one behind the other, with a pint in your hand. On the mark the first person downs his pint and puts his glass upside down on his head. Once his glass is on his head the second person in the line does the same ..... all the say down to the last person.

You usually have two teams (sometimes more) standing side by side doing this, obviously the team whose 8th man finished his pint first wins.

This doesn't sound that difficult does it ?

Well, the competition is arranged in heats. At our college (University) the overall winning team would have to go through about 3 heats, then the quarter finals, semi finals and final ......

I was only ever on the winning team once ..... the rest of the day is pretty much a write off though

 

Sounds like a great spectator sport.

 

only if you are wearing a rain coat !!!!

Once a team gets behind, some people might *cough* fail *cough* to finish the beer before they put the glass on their head !!!!!

S2Kguy, nice. A guy at work has this matrix stuff as a screen saver.

Hey, does anyone know if the background Kanji characters are legit?? I've always wondered about that. If the matrix was coded in Kanji, does that mean that the Japanese are behind the fall of society to the machines???

James, thanks for the info on the boat race. That sounds like a serious blast. Raincoats indeed!!

 

Good morning, Chaz Haven't seen you in here much during the day lately
