Cute, looks like a very interesting mixture of characters, i'm sorry i did
not make it, but i'm really busy with exams and other stuff.
What always amazes me is how different temperature regulation works for
different people, Tor and Steve seem most different in that concern, the
others are somewhere in between. How warm was it?

Woah, scary! ;)
I didn't hear about this event, I would have tried to get there if I'd known
(I've not really been reading the newsgroups thoroughly, too busy at work!).
I'm glad you folks had fun, let me know when you're having another one. :)

A pleasant mild summer evening! But it did cool down to about 12C

Wow. More gray hair than I have maybe, Mick?
Is it just me or is there always what looks to be a bottle of ketchup at all
these get-togethers?
Having seen ingo now, my imagined picture of him has been forever changed.
Got that nightclub bouncer appearance instead of someone who'd be keeping a
document in order. Not so with Tor though, I might have been able to
describe him before now. Just by chance, I'm sure.
When are people going to pose for photos arranging themselves as primitives?
5 should have been enough for any of the basic shapes. ;-)

Thanks for posting the photo Mick. I look terrible, but I never like
me in photos:-)
Looking at the photo I wouldn't mind betting that Ingo is twice the
size of me in volume - and probably in weight too.
Thomas looks asthough he's twice Mick's height, but not really, Mick's
kneeling down:-)
Someone asked about weather, well it was about the same as it is here
today, about 19 deg C, maybe a tad cooler, and overcast with a touch
or drizel. Tor is from Norway and I'm from North West England, we didn't
understand it either:-)

Uhhhh.... I meant one shape by all the people at once. But if you think you
can do it I dare you to try.
UK bagsy = US dibs ? I looked it up and would seem so. I just don't even
know why the word dibs exists so please don't ask me about it.

Glad you asked, Steve.
>:-(
Well I just had to know what dibs originates from and what I found is that
it's apparently a contraction of the word dibstones (dib possibly being a
change of the word dab too); which itself can be pretty meaningless, until
you know it is something from a childrens game like jacks where you would
grab them up in a certain way to win. Dibstones were sheep knucklebones I
guess (weird huh?), something I've never heard of, but the metal jacks
supposedly replaced them. Not positive about it, just gathered that from
what I read.
When I try to find out what bagsey originated from I get nowhere. ha ha ha

Doesn't help any spelling it either way, bagsy or bagsey (oops). Sorry for
getting so off-topic here.

I think you need to reduce the geekiness factor and re-render.

Heh, ok, I think I can help out here. It's probably slang originating from
'Lahndon'. Kna what I mean guv?
I.e., not rhyming slang but a 'street' word nonetheless. It's a literal
meaning - 'bags' - " I want to keep it in my BAG", "I covet (want it in my BAG)" -
therefore > - "Bagsy me first".
As regards 'Dibs' and 'Dabs', I have a feeling that it has something to do with
"One potato, two potato, three potato four..." ? (Banana Splits?! ;) But I'm
probably wrong here...

Well, dab is probably best defined as a tap or poke in the context dib is
meant, if I understood the origin correctly.

Okay, I will then. I hadn't been getting that group for a long time, and
just started again a couple days ago as a matter of fact.
So, bagged, in other words. That was too easy so I overlooked that. This is
kind of funny to me, and possibly to other North Americans too, saying bagsy
if it means bag in a roundabout way. If you say dibs no one knows what the
heck a dib is (not expect to anyway). Although it seems the same concept
still, which is to use a nonsensical word rather than clear meaning. Or am I
wrong?

Only one person from the UK actually traveled to the convention, but
three non-UK nationals attended. Mick is a UK national, but he didn't
travel to the convention because it was in his house:-)

I'd spell it with two Gs in the middle like baggsie or baggsey.
