Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

In a hole in the ground there lived a dwarf. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a dwarf fortress, and that means magma.

Gender: Male
Age: 23
Race: Human/Dominican
Profession: QA Engineer
Social Class: poor
Socks: white. Just because that is all I have. And black socks make my feet hot!
Favorite way to kill a goblin: Grab 20 axes (because you can in this game) and just dig each one, one by one, into his head!

I actually did that once. I decided to play adv as an Axe warrior. So I picked up all the axes I could and then, in fights, I would just go through them: slash, *axe is stuck*, another one, slash, *axe is stuck*, another, slash, *axe is stuck*, another, .......................

Ah. I neglected to review the date, then. I was 18 at the time you posted. Oops. I don't drink, though. Tastes like vomit in a bottle, every alcoholic beverage I've ever tried. And of course I have no idea where Aarhus is.

Oh well. I thought it was humorous when I posted. :P

I wouldn't be susprised if there aren't some drinks that are basically VIAB.  You may just have been unlucky.  (OTOH, if you consider a nice Glenmorangie to be this way, you're just plain weird, I tell ye!)

I've been to Aarhus.  (It would have been 25-30 years ago, so no chance that I met up with Shook, even if he went to University in the city he was born in... ;) )  Not a patch on Billund, but that's mainly because Billund had Legoland.  (Still has, but at that time it was the only one in the entire world!)  And while I wasn't all that young, at the time, I was certainly young enough to appreciate it. ;)


[edit: I wonder if it's worth pointing out that the English Wiki page for Billund is headed with a banner crying out for translations from the Danish Wiki page.  Which looks much nicer.  I also find it interesting that when going to the indicated Google-translated Dansk->English version of the Danish page, it seems to have replaced most instances of the name "Billund" (that aren't associated with the words "Municipality" or "Airport", or of an archaic spelling) with the name "London"...  Strangeness such as "London is a city in the South with 6,139 inhabitants.", right from the off...  Anyway, never mind me.  But perhaps at least Shook has the capability of proffering said manual translation/transferal, on the en.wikipedia page?  My Danish is virtually non-existent, right now.  I can ask for mashed potatoes.  I also remember having Pif Paf Puf for breakfast. ;) ]
