Big news a comin'. New baby! Stay tuned!

Ditched paypal yesterday. Might have to open a twitter account just for fun.

Introductions, eh? Hmmmm. Well, I've been playing here for a few years plus I've seen a lot of XI over the years on the server of my former clan {ESC}. Unfortunately, {ESC} doesn't have much action anymore especially during the day. If you've ever been on their Freezetag server you know they're a bunch of great people. They are fun to play with and super friendly! Now that I've turned in my tags their friendliness per person ratio is off the charts. I'm retired which is why you see me on so much and, as you can tell by my super young sound voice in game, I'm only in my mid-twenties. Oh, and I never fib or joke around. I got my nickname on my first deployment to Iraq. It was XtremeTongueInCheek and came from this old Coke commercial: So have a coke and a smile. As for the XI server and this site -- well done XtremeIdiots! You guys are doing a great job keeping your clan and server(s) alive.

@Icequeen probably has some home movies she could send you

Hello, I won't be there for the next few days, I'm going to have an ear surgery again. The first surgery didn't go as well as hoped. Had only gained 30% hearing. The implant has to be replaced again (a smaller one) , it was too big and pushed through the eardrum. The eardrum is either reinforced or replaced with an artificial one. Just take a look. Greetings Jenny/ Cheyenne

Middle ground or not I still wont touch twitter. Nor facebook. And of course 'middle' is all relative. The only middle most of us can certainly agree on is the middle finger.

Oh Basil (she loves a mention) and her lefties will be spitting feathers, he's already sacked the one who banned Trump, he promises a free middle ground platform. Watch for an exodus of lefties and friends getting cancelled lmfao, what goes around comes around.

Thank you @Sitting-Duc, it seems to work and the background of the dark theme is really nice too !

I'm quite sure you still have some more shit to offer Jointz LOL!

Glad to hear it's ducs fault I thought everybody had burnt there eyes in a crazy wild thing masturbation frenzy.

@Sitting-Duc is aware of the issues and I'm sure its on his list to fix very soon, right @Sitting-Duc ???

For the Dutch speaking members. My daughter has a podcast together with 2 friends. They have been nominated for a podcast award in the Netherlands. Voting is still possible until the beginning of November. See the link and vote vrouwmibo the podcast that airs on Friday afternoon

Don't you mean your FIRST date? Queenie is busy at the moment gardening, her first crop is at Christmas, look out for winter gales.

I wouldn't talk since your girlfriend looks like this

You don't have a bright outlook do you Sammy, what's wrong with multi billionaires? they make great Presidents and Prime Ministers? ho,ho,ho. Or are you just pissed the pendulum has swung? Look at Kanye West (never heard of him before this week) he's a naughty millionaire isn't he?? Why can't they all just drink and shag themselves to death like they did before?

Hello, Surgary went well. Implantat was exchanged. Hearing test done but no result yet. Must wait. Sunday I geht Home greetings Jenny/ Cheyenne

Musk 2024! Do you think he eats the Brussels sprouts?

I'll call it an addiction when I'll be down to just a few points. Then, of course I'll trust you to help me and I'll give you all of my left points, which might be 1 or 2. Thank you for the offer, it's much appreciated ! There's a bug with BlackJack and the new dark theme though : we need to count as it's not appearing... (or I'm looking with man's eyes ) so I might not play as much when it's too late and I'm exhausted

was fiddlin around looking for something and saw this image of the crow,,made me think of you @StormCrow hahahaha

You must have come over here because the friendliness per person ratio is off the charts here too. Nothing but good sportsmanship and supportive communication in COD4. THIS IS NOT SARCASM, I DONT JOKE EITHER, FU DLUX, HAR ,,|,, FUCKING BS, LAGGY BITCH AS;LDKJF90Q2834745HJKLAGDKJLHDAKL;JHFNASDEFASDF Welcome. I can't wait until I hit retirement too - and waste even more time on this game if its still around. Congrats.

Thanks for fixing the site duc!! Let the boobs and bum keep coming!!!

oh god no...... hehehehehehehe

omg,,hahahahahaha,,,, really you would pay 25$ when they would give it to you for free,,,lolololol

and welcome

Welcome to >XI<

Lmfao I can finally see this pic .

Welcome. I guess you hate Whales!!!

Ok I'm just glad I'm not the only one having issues. Was thinking u guys have had enough of my shit after all these years hahaha

Welcome to xi

and it's so bright it kills my eyes

Well done my dear, I'd forgotten about that, normal theme (bottom of home page) and it's fixed, as a reward I'll offer free counselling for your gambling addiction. I normally start with you giving me all your points, to prevent temptation of course. Don't worry, these are wisely invested for the future, you can trust Rob.

how much are you going to pay us to look @Icequeen?

The 'brussels sprouts' gene: TAS2R38 As the annual sprout-eating ritual approaches, Anna Perman explains why you either love them or hate them Loathing brussels sprouts may be genetic. Photograph: Sarah Lee/Guardian Name: TAS2R38 Location: Chromosome 7 Length: 1,143 bases Role: Codes for PTC taste receptor Site of action: The tongue It is often said that there is no accounting for taste. Well actually there is. Taste is one of the few subjective experiences for which there is a relatively neat genetic explanation. Some molecules in food have shapes that lock into proteins on the surface of your tongue. That interlocking tells a nerve to fire, sending a signal to your brain that you have tasted sugar, salt, bitter, sour or umami. But if you don't have the gene variant that codes for the functioning taste receptor, you can eat as much as you like of the molecule it has evolved to interlock with and you won't know a thing about it. There is one gene controlling taste sensitivity that scientists have characterised in a lot of detail – the catchily named TAS2R38 gene. This gene makes a protein that interlocks with a chemical called PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) and gives the taste sensation of bitterness. PTC isn't usually found in the human diet, but it is very similar to chemicals found in brassicas such as brussels sprouts and cabbages. Because of this, scientists have suggested that the ability to taste or not taste PTC might explain why some people hate sprouts, and some people love them. Ironically, the man who discovered this property of the chemical didn't have a working copy of the TAS2R38 gene. In 1931, Arthur Fox was in his laboratory pouring powdered PTC into a bottle, creating a cloud of the stuff. He was oblivious to the horrible odour, but the chemist on the next bench started complaining. Intrigued, Fox decided to investigate why some people can taste PTC and others can't. He got his friends and family to try a little bit of it and tell him what they tasted. What he found was intriguing: he could predict very accurately whether a person would or wouldn't be able to sense PTC by looking at how their family had reacted to it. So this ability was very tightly linked to people's genetics. This was back in the 1930s and 40s, well before genetic fingerprinting would become possible, and so for many years PTC was used for paternity testing. They assumed that if your father can taste PTC very strongly, and you can't taste it at all, chances are he isn't your father. Of course it's not completely reliable. Taste is subjective and can be weakened by other things such as smoking, age and what you habitually eat and drink. It wasn't until 2003 that scientists managed to locate the exact gene responsible, giving those of us who hate brussels sprouts a neat, genetic explanation for why we should never have to eat them ever again.

but i love brussel sprouts..

OK Icey - what's with the Brussels sprouts???

As you age different things are more important to you . Your love of your life, friends and family and i have noticed that i no longer want to have negativity in my life. I try to keep a positive outlook . But there are times that aches and pains creep in ,but we keep on going and doing the things that make us happy.

Yea, I've had 28,516 days and am looking for more to come. Funny thing is that I find that I see myself as 12,775 trapped in that 28,516 day body !!!

They are nature's pipe cleaners.

No? enlighten us oh smelly one.

Did you know Brussels Sprouts are good for aging?

Hello hello, the old lounge lizard springs into action ???

My grandson when he was 4 told me I was old, old and his father was just old! lol

Will there be Brussels sprouts?

You'll never be to old!!!!!

Yea and it ain't facebook or tik tok

Aging will show you with crystal clarity what's important in life, and what doesn't matter. Guess that goes with mortality. When you're a kid, you believe in invincibility. The more you encounter death, the more you appreciate the time you have, and how valuable it is.
