Heh, funny. I said balking when I meant baking... fingers were a bit tender after touching a very hot baking tray after it melted a hole in my bag of frozen peas. Muggins here decided to move the baking tray away from the bag of peas without the necessary protection.

Anyway...

3. a. Sports To make an incomplete or misleading motion.
b. Baseball To make an illegal motion before pitching, allowing one or more base runners to advance one base.

I guessed that much, the confusing bit was where the story about peas and baking trays came from, it was Katie that said balking. Did you maybe think you posted something that you actually didn't ?

There we go. New words are bolded and bracketed for clarification. I didn't want to put my fingers thhrough more pain than neccesary at the time by pressing buttons to erase the "l" in baking... lol

I've seen the word balk(ed) in the game Betrayal at Krondor; "The Empress of Kesh would balk at the prices you are offering."

snorlax

introducing myself- have an interest in all things paranormal, had my fair share of it over in Edinburgh on all the ghost tours, a place where mind/ body/ spirit shops dot ever corner of every street and where there's an underground section of the city that's been round since the plague and that's simply been built upon. to all ghost seekers i recommend a visit and to go on the City of The Dead tour.
oh yeah im also a 4th year student in tcd and like chocolate and coffee.

imprezza
