Hello NSG, i've been gone for a while.

Something about an island that steals souls. I was stuck there for a while but now I'm free to once again haunt the NSG boards with my border line ghost status.

Parris Island.

ah, you're a marine? my island only has a fisheries protection gunboat, and some reserve engineers.

That would explain the lack of communication.

Yes, and I have some leave before I go back, so I'm wasting time on here.

But oddly it doesn't steal your soul with as much pain and fear....

I'm at a lack of words for this one.

Although there were some people from Ohio in my platoon....

well no, and it's probably not as muddy either, not literally anyway. it's certainly a mire of spam and circuitous debate sometimes.

so, parris island... does that mean you're currently in training?

So what's wrong with islands exactly?

I'm from the North Island. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_island)

NZ has very uncreative names for its 2 main islands.

Nothing, really, but the island he was on, and presumably going back to, is a military base. Nothing wrong with those either, but I doubt I could hack it on Parris Island.

Some would say as thick as...yes.

Of course I wholeheartedly disagree. I'm more like a vegetable patch.

Very astute observation, Alex.

I myself AM an island. Unless of course you ask John Dunne, who will disagree with me because he is an idiot.

Hoorah, marine. My dad used to be a doc stationed with the Marines at Camp Leajune (spelled that wrong). Got some really funny stories out if it.

Only if it's sufficiently phallic.

New Ulster ,New Munster and New Leinster?
What we lack in names we make up for in tales, oh Maui how you fished the North Island out of the Ocean in your Great Waka.:)

Ever heard the tale how the Sun was moving too quickly so Maui threw some flax rope over him and slowed him down?

Technically, Eurasia-Africa, Antarctica, and America count as islands, except they're so large we call them continents instead. So we all live on islands. -.-

Likewise. In fact, ours is the biggest (and therefore the best) Island of all.

My state almost became an island.

I blame Ohio.
Cannot think of a name

I just moved on to a very small island. An island that shouldn't be, even...a man made island.

And I'm not in the military. But the military still owns the island I'm on.

It's very tiny. There are points you can stand to see across it.

That's generally the most reasonable course of action in almost every circumstance.

I think Australia-size is where an island becomes a continent. So anything smaller than Australia is an island, whereas anything as big, or bigger than Australia is a continent.

Congratulations on being from the smallest continent!
