    Wol Euler: the closest he comes to dark storytelling
    Bleu Oleander: sounds fun :)
    Qt Core: whichever i read Death and Granny Weatherwax are the best characters
    Wol Euler: yes, both are quite fine characters
    Wol Euler: "everyone knew the witches had no leader, but everyone knew that Granny Weatherwax was the leader they didn't have."
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Wol Euler: "wintersmith" could be a good starting point too
    Wol Euler: one of the Granny novels
    --BELL--
    Bleu Oleander: will try one after I finish these
    Qt Core: ohh, the wee free men... basically drunk violent (scottish?) smurfs
    Bleu Oleander: lol
    Qt Core: sadly they translate his books at the great speed of 1 every 1.5 years...
    Qt Core: but at least i know i'll have something to read for the next 20 years ;-)
    Qt Core: if not more
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Wol Euler smiles.

    Yakuzza Lethecus: hey vorder
    Bleu Oleander: :)
    Vorder Forder: hello all
    Qt Core: hi Vorder
    Vorder Forder: hello and nice to see you all
    Wol Euler: I could have walked home from work naked on a few evenings without being seen :)
    --BELL--
    Qt Core: i was hoping on Argentina... just to not having Germany at four cups like italy ;-) (but knew it was improbable and that it would be the victory of an almost sad/boring way to play (too defensive)
    Wol Euler: agreed
    Wol Euler: there was a time after the first round when I thought it might be an unknown-versus-unknown final
    Wol Euler: that would have been exciting :)
    Qt Core: not really unknown, but Belgium Colombia could have been (for how they played)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: thank you for being here, i got to sleep, good sleep and weekend everyone!
    Wol Euler: goodnight yaku, love to the family
