ANNOUNCEMENT

We are happy to announce that Cassandra accepted our invitation to make her D'ebut in the Mint Café!

We will soon have the pleasure of meeting her in person, although she hopes to be with us permanently during the next weeks.

As most of you know by now, the Mint Foundation has recently appointed Scorp 123 as Moderator and security guard.
His aptitude in Robocop methods will be useful in maintaining the Forum and Chat Room clean from intruders and trash.

His thee stinger weapons function as:
Stinger no.1 for warning
Stinger no.2 as a stun weapon
Stinger no.3, The killall command. No mercy!

Speaking of scorpions, how would you like to be stung by a 65 pound one?

They grow them big in Texas! Reportedly, they travel in packs of 3 or 4.

Talking about size, here she is! Cassandra in person. Or that's what she claims to be!

She visited the Mint Lounge unexpectedly. What do you think Ken? is she the real one or just some crazy impostor?

As for the big scorpion, I think it may have escaped from Jurassic Park.
But where did this Cassandra escape from? I wonder!

She must be an impostor. The Cassandra I remember was much younger and slimmer!

"feels" in the sense of "feeling like a woman" (eeek ...

) or rather in the sense of "Password accepted, access granted: Proceed with your login ..."

Problem no. 1 : What's there to feel about a monster like the huge Cassandra impostor!

Problem no. 2: In trying to oust this impostor who claims to be Cassandra, we found out that she won't budge an inch! (too damn heavy)!
She put a lot of weight on her appearance!
We tried persuading her to leave in a polite manner, but she insists that her presence is valuable to our next Mint development.

So, in conclusion, we may have to request the services of Scorp or otherwise
let hydra do the job!

Sorry to say so npap, but you are taking this thread into very bizarre directions at times ...

Witty answer

I lost my marbles years ago!

Prediction: The next version of Mint (after Cassandra) will be Ségolène.

Ah! That's what I mean when I talk about French charm!

lol... well it won't be Nicola anyway

Ladies and gentlemen,
Cassandra is really here now!
There is an explanation for the impostor.
She is actually Cassandra's mother! And she confessed that she just wanted to secure her daughter's position.
So, unexpectedly, her daughter showed up in the Mint Lounge giving hell to her mother for doing such a stupid thing to take her daughter's place,

So here she is my friends!

And she sends you her love!

Please note that our Cassandra has no relation to the mythical one, except that she is the last re-incarnation.
She differs a great deal in character traits, being gentle, loving and compassionate.
No evil doings may be attributed to her, and she can only predict success and happiness to all the Mint members.

Maybe after sex change operation.

The city manager of Largo, Florida (near where I live) announced in January, that he is transgendered and will have a sex change. The city council then fired him, after 14 years of good reviews, causing much controversy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Stanton

Anyway, Ségolène is a name only the French can pronounce!

I think I can (reasonably well) and I'm not French

Maybe I should have referred just to my fellow Americans. How do you pronounce it?
