Nice story Ichigo. Thanks for sharing. It is always nice to shine a little ray of hope in this otherwise doom & gloomy Backroom.

Gah! This is the backroom, not a tampon repository!
The media coverage this story has gotten nothing more then a blemish upon our society. The girl made a few bears, for sexually assualted kids. Not to mention horribly overpriced stuffies. The money, the time, the effort and thought would have been better speant were it was needed. Donations to soup kitchens and other organizations who help the truly needy are down again for years without end. Who cares if we give more and more, it's for frivilous things.
Go give time and money to a true charity. We should be giving media coverage and thanks to those who actually make a difference to volunteers who help the needy.

Wine is a bit different, as I am sure even kids will like it.

Ja Mata, Tosa.
The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storm may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter – all his force dares not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement! - William Pitt the Elder

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Great story Ichi, and its good to see you again...
RIP Tosa

But why are we giving this of all things media attention. There are far better acts of charity and kindness that will go on without ever getting a breath of media coverage.
Yes, that post was a daffodil of a post, but at least it could spark some debate. This is the backroom after all.

Wow Louis, now I'm not even getting my own puns apparently. If there was a pun in my post, it is completely unintentional.
Hey BigTex, why are you wasting your time posting in this tampon repository of a thread, when you could be spending your time in a true Backroom thread...![]()

oi, there goes my hope of HoreTore puzzling over your post the whole weekend, desperately trying to figure out which pun he didn't get.![]()
What? Irony? Me? Never!
And I hear the Germans make excellent red wine. I'd try one of those.
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
The best is to get a car, and drive straight from wine mansion to mansion once a year. Then try all the wines, and if you like any, buy 12 or 24 bottles at rock bottom prices to take home with you. Then move on to the next.Then a few months later, you'll discover the bastard sold you 24 bottles of horse piss because he knows you're not from around thereIt will set you up for a whole year.
And come on, Dave, darling. You've become such a bore ever since you were elevated to senior membership. What's with the strings?![]()
