I wonder if the Captains and Assistants will be properly blamed for yet another flames collapse - or will people in the FOI forum find some way to blame McBackup for this loss.

IMO JI should be stripped of the Captaincy and the Assistants should be stripped as well.

JI should have been stripped before the season to save him the embarrassment of how his play has gone severely downhill becoming a lazy floating player.

Maybe you're the "difficult person" they are going to have to deal with. I suggest you make them work for it.

I have worked for this company for quite a while, but looking at the staff hires since the current branch administrator (for lack of a better title) took over and I wonder if she has implemented a "only hire ugly women" rule?

Is it the random you have problems with, or the thoughts?

There is nothing to "get" - it's one step above background noise, a purposeless wandering amongst the bombed-out city of civilized discourse, where we stop every now and then to pick something up and say, "Ooh, it *sparkles*." It's a stream of consciousness from a debauched, drunken collective soul with no impulse control and dubious antecedents. It's the static between radio stations, the leftover echoes from the universe's birth spattering themselves against the cold antennae of the uncaring cosmic receiver.

And, most succinctly: it's GTF's litterbox, where he leaves warm stinky nuggets for all to stumble upon in his quest to be the poster boy for post whoredom.

I thought it was my litterbox. GTF just takes over.

You're like the pet owner, and he's the lovable little scamp you have to clean after. "Bad GTF! Bad! No snacks for you!"

Yes that is correct.

So are you still walking around with no pants, or sleeping naked? It's getting cold brrrrr I'm wearing like two sweaters right now.

I have tried everything to try and get my mind off of a certain sporting event last night. I still get enraged from time to time.

It happens, forget about it. There's a new game tonight

I think it may have been discussed here before, but why on earth would anyone trim their fingernails at their desk? Gross.

Yah I don't change my ways for Mother Nature - I stick to a strict regimen of pantslessness and thin shirts no matter what the season. Although - I wore shorts and an old t-shirt yesterday while watching the Stamps suck the life out of Thanksgiving, and I actually was cold. Being a man (ie - not very smart about giving in to physical discomfort) I ignored it for a few hours, but then realized it was because the heat wasn't on, hadn't been on once since the summer, and that it was probably around 10C in my place.

So I look at the thermostat, and it thinks it's 70F, or around 18C. I cranked it up to 80F and the pipes started running and warming the place up, so I imagine there is probably fur or hair or something on the thermostat pick-up. I was wondering why the cat was so unusually snuggly lately, and now I see that he was just trying to survive and was probably wondering what the hell was going on.

Your two sweaters reminds me of my friend who came over to watch my cat last February while I was away; when I came back she had the thermostat cranked all the way past 90 (!) and she said she was STILL cold when she came by. I mocked her for her wimpiness at great length.

GirlySports · 10-13-2009, 01:23 PM

10C in the house!? I'd die. My house is around 18C, I don't want to turn the heat up too high so I have two sweaters.

Why do you have to be a hater? Is it jealousy because your brain isn't sufficiently ADD-addled to post as often as I do? Is it just bitterness as a result of a mid-life crisis?

Anyways, The Fonz has usurped me in taking the lead of this thread.

And so their love never came to be...

Excerpt from the upcoming novel by missdpuck: CP - the Cauldron of Passion

"You're... leaving?" she said. "Never coming back?"

"It's not you - it's the heat. The sun. Always up there, always burning. I can't live this way. In the sweat, the discomfort." he said. "I love you, but it's like living underwater, and I can't breathe or see the surface."

She looked down along the beach. Waves came up, fell back again. There was a bit of spray on her cheek, or something like it. "What if I moved back there - back to Canada? I could try again. You came here for me; how can I not come back for you?"

"And it'll be the sweaters again? I can't live underwater, and you can't live under wool. It wouldn't work, and you know that as well as I."

A breeze moved her hair, once, twice, and again, like the touch of a dirty old man working his way up to copping a feel. "Go then. Just go."

He looked into her face. "I'll always love you Girlysports. Even when you admitted to only changing the bedsheets once a month, I knew somewhere inside there was a beautiful person only needing a little bit of guidance on proper housekeeping to come out. Good-bye, my forever love."

He turned and slowly walked along the sand, his feet describing an arc in time that he knew would end in the destruction of a heart - two hearts. He felt as he were riven apart by passion's deadly wolverines, or perhaps a tiger he had incautiously stuck his arm into the cage of.

On the other hand, though - Diablo 3 was finally coming out next month, and now he had plenty of time to play video games with no-one to nag him about eating, sleeping, and other such trivia. Things were looking up already! He started whistling and picked up the pace. Jammies was going home.

Edit: And "I can't live underwater, and you can't live under wool." sounds like a WTN movie of the week.

You love the attention, don't lie. If you were a woman, you'd be one of those ladies who is always wearing low cut dresses and then bending over to pick things up, "Ooh, could you see my breasticles? How embarrassing! Tee hee!"

I love those women.

What were were we talking about again?

Poor ol' Fonz got broadsided in a most unfriendly and ill-bred manner. I still love you Fonz - come back!

Unfortunately no. I'm just avoiding work, although it always comes back to find you in the end.
