Tierra

A dangerouse woman. Her name says it all! To nurture, give life, and to flourish. Unfortunately, she is easily able to do the opposite: destroy, abolish and completely devistate. If you're ever acquainted with one, be careful. You're not the only one who will be looking for her "nurture" and you're not the only one she's gladly devistating.

Her voice is that of a Siren's, beautiful but deadly if pursued. Her gaze is impossible to resist and her lips are sweet poison. Her skin is perfect (she won't agree) and her laugh can make the stapes, incus, and mallius dance with excitement.
"Your name is 'Tierra' you say? It was nice to meet you and it would be better never to have met you." "He's dating Tierra?! I wish him luck. Nobody deserves what she's going to do to him.

Tierra

“Tierra”, like the earth, will flourish and grow beautifully if only nurtured and respected by the right individual. But mistreated, like the earth, will strike you down like the elements. Most individuals are beguiled by her looks, but few can handle her sharp wit.

timberrr!

A word shouted by a timber faller just as the tree that he has severed leaps from it's stump. This word is shouted to warn others in the vicinity to be aware. This word is not heard often in the woods any longer because of the numerous restrictions put on timber harvesting. These restrictions primarily came about from well intentioned,but misguided, environmentalists and their ilk.
Timberrr! Oh yeah I kinda' remember hearing that a long time ago. I'm not sure what it means. Maybe we should look it up in the Urban Dictionary.

Tiberian Twilight

The fan-made name for the third installment in the Command & Conquer series of games which will never see the light of day.
I find it unfair that Tiberian Twilight will never be a reality. Thanks a lot, EA Games!!
