Announcement

[danny_galaga]

I am announcing that soon I will commence a Project Announcement. That is all.

[two40]

Kim approves.

[ark_ader]

Notice:

Do not read this notice.

[Karpro]

Do you think we should have a sticky for announcements of impending announcements?

[RoyalScam]

More people will come if you offer them punch and pie.

I once thought of making a project announcement.
Just announcing.

[chopperthedog]

**reserved for future ridicule**



good day.

[thatpurplestuff]

Overall cool project but I would have stayed away from the puffypaint and leopard print.  As long as you enjoy it that's all that matters!

[danny_galaga]

I have a sample of blue t-molding.

[SavannahLion]

I did an announcement once. Complete write up from beginning to end with about 100 pictures. Got kudos from the greats like Ond and RandyT was going to sell it as a kit.

Turns out it was all a dream.

I'm still in the corner.

[johnrt]

I have a sample of blue t-molding.

[danny_galaga]

Also samples that are other colours.

By sapling, do you mean the tree that will eventually mature into some of the wood that will eventually be used in construction? Cause i figure by that math we're about a decade off.

Last time I checked the only country on earth with America in it's name is the United States of America.  Oh, and the territory of American Samoa.  And out of everybody on the two continents and additional islands, holdings, territories, etc the only ones that call themselves Americans are those who reside in the USA. Canadians, Brazilians, Mexicans, Samoans, Hondurans, United Statesians  AMERICANS!

USA

Go tell a Canadian they live in America... they'll crack you on the head with a syrup infused hockey stick, tell you they live in Canada (or Quebec if they're on of those, and maybe just maybe mention that it's technically in North America but who the hell goes by that.

Canada gave us superman, Donald Sutherland, William Shatner and John Candy. I'm fine with being the country that steals Canada's talent. The occasional Bieber, Celine Dion or Hayden Christensen unleashed on us is tolerable collateral damage.

Just remeber, beiber sucks. When we gave him to you he was a nice, quiet, god fearing kid. Now... Not so much. No returns on broken merchandise.

But I think what we can all agree on is that there's no place for that backstabbing, dirtbag, nationality renouncing, toolbag that goes by the name of Alex Trebek.  Can't you guys just send him to Guantanamo already?!

Québec is more like our loud, eccentric, inconsiderate, uncle that stamps his feet and turns up his nose stubbornly if you don't already know how he wants his way. He's old, and you kinda hope he just leaves, or gets put in a home.
