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.

i'm from an island too. which island are you from?

Parris Island.

Parris Island.

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

Parris Island.

That would explain the lack of communication.

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

I'm from Ohio.

Not an island.

lol, that's all anyone does with their time on here.

anyway, welcome back. there's something about NSG that steals your soul too...

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

I'm from Ohio.

Not an island.

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

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

Words are not needed, just laughs.

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.

I'm from an island as well. It's pretty big, but still an island. Go islands!

I'm from an island also... and I totally agree.

The one with Ewen McGregor and Scarlett Johansson? :eek:

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.

I'm on an island. :)

I am an island

I am an island

I assume you're a rock as well.

I'm from Ohio.

Not an island.

I thought you were German...

I assume you're a rock as well.

Some would say as thick as...yes.

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

I come from an Island too

I'm from Ohio.

Not an island.

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.

Congrats on making it through, and continued good luck.

And no man is an island.

he wont disagree with you.

he's dead.

long dead.

I come from a island too.

But can a man be a peninsula?

I'm on an island, and it's not stealing my soul. I'm stealing its.
But can a man be a peninsula?

Only if it's sufficiently phallic.

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

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.:)

New Ulster ,New Munster and New Leinster?
You stole our names? You bastards, give them back! First New Ireland, now this!
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.:)

What's odd is I've heard that story before, I think.

Well, I live on an island. Does that count?

Well, I live on an island. Does that count?

yes

Pfft, North South and Stewart Island are cooler names anyways...

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

I'm on an island.

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. -.-

Our island is bigger than your island.

I come from a island too.
Likewise. In fact, ours is the biggest (and therefore the best) Island of all.

Only if it's sufficiently phallic.

Well, I come from a phallic peninsula (if one disregards Norway, which one always does). :)

My state almost became an island.

I blame Ohio.

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.

Well, I come from a phallic peninsula (if one disregards Norway, which one always does). :)
Ever sinced they dropped raping and pillaging for reindeer farming nobody has taken them seriously.

Well, I come from a phallic peninsula (if one disregards Norway, which one always does). :)

Yeah? Well my island looks like a koala bear holding a tree.

I come from Long Island?

Well, I come from a phallic peninsula (if one disregards Norway, which one always does). :)

So Norway is Sweden's pubic hair?

Our island is bigger than your island.
Our's is cooler.

Yeah but it's limp.

Our's is cooler.

You're pretty mountains and liveable temperature won't save you this time!

Our climate is a great leveler when it comes to sporting fixtures.

Its been done, but:
My island is bigger than your island! An island which I shall be visiting over easter, incidentally.

I blame Ohio.

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

There should be a 'from an island' vs. 'not from an island' poll!!!

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

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!

I am from an Island too....it's diamond shaped and is 12 miles wide at the widest point and 26 miles long.....so it's pretty small, but I love it.

do i come from the smallest island? (9 miles long; 5 miles wide)

Smaller than my island....and mine is pretty small...congratulations! Do you still live there? I am still on my island...
