How about an IV of BaiJiu to wake up the dying Dalian community?
The forums have been so freaking boring lately that I don't even sign in every day any more!

I suppose the baijiu comment was directed at the resident baijiu hound... Me?
Yesterday makes two Monday's in a row I haven't had any baijiu. Also, last Friday I had no bloody Internet because the friggin' nazi-a$$ rat b@$t@rd$ at my university decided it would be funny to just block ALL access to ALL websites with servers outside of China. I couldn't even access my e-mail. It wasn't until sometime on Saturday when things returned to normal. Friday afternoon when I'm juiced up is when I usually do my posting.
Add to the fact that we're not allowed to post anything slightly controversial lest we offend some pea-brained people who frequent the site. Furthermore, we certainly don't want to offend our gracious hosts. Remember, we're guests here and guest should NEVER, EVER criticize...
That reminds me of something that I witnessed while in an airport in a country that is not China. I was waiting and a large group of people walked by speaking a language that I recognized. This group of people were from a country that rhymes with 'pine-a.' One of these people made a comment in his native language that I understood to be "There are too many foreigners here." My response in the same language was "No! YOU'RE the foreigners."
Anyway, I digress...
Once the reigns have been taken off and I have had the muzzle removed and I get juiced up...
Well, we can dream, can't we?
