I got lots of books about dragons and a sketchbook and some artists pens and lots and lots of chocolate and the Sarah Jane Adventures audio books and lots of nice soap and a handbag and three pairs of legwarmers and footless tights and some other stuff that In can't remember.

Ooh, I'm a vegetarian too! It's like we're secret twins... :P

So am I!! It's like a secret club!

Gosh, it's so weired when you say something to someone and their like "what" and you point and they're like "oh, one of them"

We should compile a list of comparisons so there is no furthur confusions.

Also: What the hell are shmores? 'cause I was reading a book calle Maximum Ride and the kid mentions shmores but I don't know what they are apart from the fact they involve chocolate, so I am interested.

Aren't they those things that you make at a bonfire where you have two digestive biscuits (except I don't think they're called that in America) and you melt a marshmallow and chocolatey stuff between them and it's like a sweet marshmallow sandwich thing?

[Dr. Dasha]

Well, I've never heard the term shmores, but s'mores are what Llin described.  You melt a marshmallow over a bonfire, then you sandwich the marshmallow, along with a few segments of a Hershey chocolate bar, between two graham crackers.  I used to love them when I was a kid (before I went vegetarian), and now my child loves them.

As this is the only Christmas line I can see on this forum, let me use it today by wishing all a Merry Christmas to the Sarah Jane crowd and contributors.

I've enjoyed popping by during theyear and occasional chats with a few especially the erudite Stardoe.

Also in the spirit of Christmas and mindful of so much strife and conflict in the world (when will man ever learn that aggression, violence and war is never the answer.... sigh), let me apologise if at any time my words have upset others.
I don't believe in letting the sun set on the year and starting a new one without making peace with others.
Verily I apologise and wish you all a peaceful and fulfilling Chrismas for you all and your families.
