Indeed, it still is an achievement. Just not one worthy of being on the list.

Was once preparing this account now abandoned, I'll keep on depositing - level 11.

*** PRE-CATCHUP rambles (and then massive amounts of thanks listage... in the next post due to running out of SPACE, goddamnit!) ***

First off... forgot to mention when I announced my alt alt level up the other day (perhaps because it's not really an achievement, and thus PLEASE DO NOT GRAT ME FOR THIS, OR ELSE THE DOG GETS IT), but... THIS account, my main, is exactly 3600 saves from 36000 saves, my final retirement point!

And yes, I hit 3600 away from 36000 like.... 10 days ago and have been sitting there nice and blissfully on purpose. #;-}> Thereby hindering my actual arrival at 36k, of course, but no worries... I'll start moving again tomorrow. Just... yeah. OCD.

Oh, one interesting thing about this spot I've paused at that I noticed on NG log:

being 3600 saves away from my goal means... 36k blams + 32.4k saves = 68.4k total b/p and a 1.111 blam/save ratio. 1.11111111111111111111111111, in fact. Perfection! Beauty! Woot! .... but again, NOT AN ACHIEVEMENT. Just cool numbery stuff for all the other folk out there who know about/share my 36 appreciation/love and/or love repeating strings of numbers like 1111 and the like.

...

Oh, and in other 36y news (I'm your only trusted source for that, yanno!) I just noticed while checking how far along the current page of LUL is that this topic is currently 2411.366666666666666666666666666etc.etc.
etc. (NO, I WILL NOT ROUND UP TO 7, BAHAMUT!!!!) pages long. Woot!

(yes, a page on NG being at .366666666... of the way through... happens every time a page has 11 posts out of the 30 limit, but... STILL!!!!! The timing, people... it's all in THE TIMING!)

...

And finally... I think I dropped by here to briefly mention IRL and NG achievements 3 times since my last catchup batch, AND AS A RESULT, there are way way way too many congrats, YOUSE GUYS is too kind!...... but I shall carry on and thank each and every one of ya nonetheless. However, as I sometimes do, 'twill be grouped together by grat timing... because saying thanks or some variant thereof dozens of times starts to feel a bit too much like handwriting a shitload of RSVP party invites and trying to make them all feel different enough/personal enough not to be a form letter. ;_;

Thankful for the congratulations digest form postage INITIATE.

Thanks to all of you for the 10.00 VP congrats! Passing 10 VP is one of the few "big NG stat landmarks" that has, at least for me, managed to hold its specialness all the way through the old AND new NG eras.

P.S. You didn't forget me, Hacsev... so as a result, you gave me double-grats. Nothing wrong with that, it's like a nice double-shot of espresso in my iced cappucino. Lovin' it. #;-}>

P.P.S. Based on the alarmingly large minority of gratters above who thought my main account was back at 10 VP instead of my alt (or just typoed... or just put my main name since I posted the achievement with THIS account after all), PERHAPS I SHOULD ACTUALLY USE GFOXCLOCK TO POST WHEN MAKING GFOXCLOCK-RELATED ANNOUNCEMENTS. :::slaps self in head::: Oy vey. #;-}> Or wait... did I actually do so in this case? :::checks:::

http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/search/aut hor/gfoxclock

Nope, I didn't. But as the above link shows, I DID use gfoxclock to post about his 20,000 exp landmark. Probably because he'd slipped from 236 posts to 235 posts due to some old thread somewhere being deleted years later (WTF????) quite recently at that point. HAD TO RESTORE THAT 236 POSTMARK.

But anyway, I'll try to get gfoxclock--AND MAYBE EVEN GFOX? (to Coop's enjoyments, judging from his post on June 7th... so on second though, NAHHHH, hyurrr, take that!)--more involved in their own achievements soon enough, I guess. The identity confusion is killin' my buzz here. #;-}>

P.S. No, Coop, it was the Thursday following the weekend I was out of town and ye were depositing for me.

Yes, I went on bended knee and slipped the ring on her finger while suffering immensely. I'M A MAN, DAMNIT. I'M 40!!!! </American sports coach press conference reference you might not catch>

I haven't tried any new medal-related games since the ones I was already playing (all... 3 of them) back in April... but I did get 5 out of 8 medals just for watching the Street Fighter

Joshua Tree is my second favorite. The only thing with that album is that I hear the singles so damn often on the radio. And they play them on almost every live show as well =/

Just as Achtung Baby is my second fave. #;-}>

You are lucky to have a radio station that plays Joshua Tree songs a lot. Here in my town, the most U2 I here on the stations I listen to... are War-era singles on the classic rock

station. I mean, sure, every now and then there's Where the Streets Have No Name, too... but not very often compared to SBS and Like a Song from War.

Anyway, I myself was born in the very late 80's so I sort of missed the peak era´s of U2 unfortunatly :( Bad was the song that got me into U2. It made me curious and so I

borrowed the best of 80's-90's CD which I loved immediatly after listening through it once. After that I started listening more and more to them. But this was only in the year 1999-

2000

Cool.

But when it comes to best from start to finish, and most good songs, it's Achtung Baby, yes. There's only one song on the entire album that I don't like very much and usually

skip. Otherwise it's straight through nearly anytime.

I´m guessing that song is So Cruel?

Nope! Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World. Something about the "... fish like a bicycle..." line and the song as a whole that just turn me off. Doesn't feel like it fits in the

album as much as every single other song on the album fits. I wish it had been a b-side and Lady with the Spinning Head (an excellent b-side which I have in 2 different versions

from two different AB-era singles) had been on the album instead.

550 HOURS!!?? Jesus Christ. I probably haven´t even played Majora´s
Mask for that long and I´ve beaten that game at least 10 times by now.

700ish hours now! Blame the spy/sniper update from 5/21...

TF2 is the most fun multiplayer FPS ever, and has no plot, no start and no finish, and... thus... comparing how many hours of a single player game with a storyline like a Zelda

game... you have... to how much time in TF2... is not even comparing apples and oranges... it's like comparing eating chocolate ice cream to hiking up a mountain!

I haven't seen many Sandman Scouts in TF2 recently, so I can't really tell. Then again, all I've played in TF2 over the last month is 2Fort map. The next time we're able to play TF2 at the

same time, we need to go on another map, because I'm getting sick of 2Fort right now. :P

Half of scouts still use sandman, there's just far less scouts on most maps now because the update madness ended. Spy/sniper levels are starting to return to normal on most of my fave

serverrs now, too, so that's nice. Still a few servers with insane amounts on maps where they're hurting the team, but oh well.

Not to me. Remember, I like silver more than gold, for one thing. And both the old level system golden gauntlet and the new level system golden gauntlet just aren't as simple and nice

Yeah, but not many many regs from 2003 are still active nowadays at all. And that number is even lower when it comes to alts.

Well, the top 50 exp list says there's plenty of people from BEFORE 2003 that are still depositing. Unless by active you meant "doing more than just depositing."

Otherwise, I'd already be in the top 50, instead of sitting at #51, waiting for my shot at the big show. Or hell, maybe the top 10 by now. O_o

Well, you said TF2 ran for you, and you played all weekend, though it was "laggy." Was it laggy like playing online games back in the 90s on dial-up phone line connections was laggy?

Or laggy in a "the framerate isn't high enough to really enjoy this" laggy?

There's plenty of games on Steam far less demanding on computers than TF2, also. So... anyway, you're already on Steam if you played TF2 for free, so you HAVE indeed joined the

Aye. That's Neutral Loyalty, brotha. DON'T YOU FORGET IT, zimzap.

LOL!

Actually, after I posted that, I think I looked at the icon and it's more grey than black. Still, either one looks nice with the green aura, IMO. I musta been thinking level 32's mace was closer

in colour to the pure black level 43 mace.

I will add some 43's too. 37 is 36 +1, so 25 is 24 +1 you see it now.

Oh, I see now. Still, 25 isn't that effective considering it's not a prime number.

Not only that, but I LIKE 25.

It's 5 squared. Remember how much I like squares.

There's four types of numbers, really, in my "gut reaction the moment I see a number" internal judgement-o-meter brain section:

1. squares, repeated digits, ascending/descending number clusters, cool things like that
2. even numbers
3. odd numbers
4. prime numbers (which are also odd, of course, so this is a detestable EVEN-LOWER subset of #3)

25 isn't even, but it's a square! So it's actually cooler than most "normal" even numbers. Mwahaha!

It's not a prime number. Therefore, it's ineffective.

It is truly effective because it balances out the 37 to a 36, prime or not.

Then you don't know gfox well enough. ;_;

Indeed. BAHAMUT WIN.

Also, 25 is a quarter of 100. What could be bad about that? 75 rocks due to being 3/4 of 100, even though it's odd AND not a square, actually. So my above 1,2,3,4 list is clearly

incomplete, but anyway... it's kinda #1 meets #3, which puts it below most #1 category numbers, probably on par with most #2s (evens in general).

Quick note: damnit, I had saved posts 1, 2, and 3 in a text file earlier... and then reopened them to finish the catch-up... I believe notepad put in linebreaks where my window size is.... which causes the damned LINE WRAP ON NG to fuck up. I've done this before, but I'm not sure I ever realised what the CAUSE was. Today, finally, I realise what happened. Yay.

Not only did my own words get messed up, but so did quotes (which I can't remember if that happened the last few times this happened or not)... There's a chunk of Coop's post in catch-up 2 that isn't quoted... and there's a chunk of someone else's post that isn't quoted in catch-up 3. After a "+" in the text, IIRC. etc. etc. ANYWAY...

But two primes multiplied together are no longer offensive to me, except in that they thus always produce an odd number, which means the resulting number is... odd after all, and by gfox definition... not as good as even numbers. But nothing exceptionally horrible about them as a matter of course.

35's a solid number. One of the better odds. But still in my bottom half of numbers, yes. It'd have to be. It's odd. #;-}>

The real question is which EVEN numbers are in my bottom half of numbers (since there are some odd numbers, like 25, or say 1111, or 12345, or such... falling under my category #1 of the above post, pushing out a few of my least fave even numbers from the top 50% of all numbers).

Then you don't know gfox well enough. ;_;

I know him well enough he is a Houston Rockets fan wait I hope they beat the 76ers, my Pistons lost in the first round to Lebron James, first time Detroit didn't get into the Eastern Conference finals.

Why would the Rockets have been playing the 76ers, anyway? O_o

I just wish the Rockets had beaten the Lakers. So close to another title. Oh well. Doesn't hurt anywhere near as bad as the year the Cardinals won the World Series (the Astros nearly passed them for the division/a postseason ticket in September of 2006... and had they done so, I have complete confidence they would have beaten the same teams the Cardinals beat that year, and won the WS the year after they made it to the WS but lost to the ChiSox, which would have been epic).

I plan to count medals, not medal points.

okay, I don't think they should be counted, imho.

No, medals makes it more fairer while medal points would have been chaotic.

Uh okay I said that because I don't have any well I am around 50 so it will be like a small flash review boost just as audio reviews are so is Byteslinger going to logify them.

I don't care to count either medals OR medal points in with all the other stats, personally, but since I don't make lists anymore, my word is not even partial law.

That said, as a list appreciater, my vote's for counting just medals themselves, not points.

Probably because I'm a bigger fan of Steam achievements (where you just get achievements, and the total # of them is what you can see as a stat) more than I am of MS Windows Live/Xbox Live achievements, where not only is there the achievement count, but that silly ol' Gamerscore.

Medal points count is too much like Gamerscore, and as such I don't care for it too much, other than not wanting my total to sit at 3700 or something in the future.

Then again, at my parents' house out in the countryside, they can only get 23k or so on a 56k modem, due to the crappy phone lines and the distance to the dialed number being used to connect to the internet, so.... 36k > 23k, at least. #;-}>

I was gonna reply to that part of his post and say "Steam is all the store you need!" but then I reread the start of his post, and when he talked about the free TF2 weekend, he mentioned that once it was over, he couldn't keep playing because he no haz teh credit cards.

So he's trying to find it in a brick & mortar store to buy it with cash, presumably, since he has no credit cards.

Sir Nuts, if there's no stores there in Brazil near you that seem to have TF2 or the Orange Box (you did know it comes in that, right? Maybe you've been seeing that at various computer game/software stores and just didn't know it had TF2 in it? ... I kinda hope this is the case, since it'll mean you can pick it up real soon! #;-}>).... I might also suggest trying to find it (in the Orange Box, or by itself, whichever... but Orange Box is a great investment--7 games for 1 price, never more than 2x the cost of TF2 on its own, from what I've seen) on a website (maybe amazon.com?) that offers payment methods other than just credit card. Maybe there's a (reputable) site out there that'll ship you the Orange Box if you write 'em a check? Or if you have no bank account, then turn your cash into a money order? They do that at Post Offices here in the US, dunno where you'd have to go in Brazil.

Also, I second Bahamut's "wish you'd let us know you were gonna play on the free weekend" thought, Sir Nuts.... woulda been neat to break yer TF2 cherry among friends!

And lastly: what's your Steam username? Even if you'll only be playing TF2 on free weekends for the foreseeable future, that's still better than nothing. Let me and Bahamut know it either here or privately via PM, and we'll friend ya!

As for getting to you at some point... you've got to stop thinking of NG participation as an on/off switch. It's not a binary pair. It's not either active or inactive. It's a giant gradient scale from the "perfect non-participation" and the impossibly-infinite participation... with shades of grey in between. Everyone fluctuates up and down in their activity amounts. If the level you're at gets to be "too much" or "gets to you" or whatever, then just dial it down. As I have in various ways (portal and BBS-wise and modding-wise as well, I suppose) over the years at multiple times. Yet still I'm here. You don't have to leave completely to reduce yer time spent here/stats collected. Just try slow reduction in both departments before you shut it all off at once. Wish more people would try that slow reduction first... ;_;

People who used to be active when I first came here too, like X-Naut (the imposter ;P), Casualty, Shanus, Sterockicy, and others (who I can't remember right now) have all disappeared too. At least some of you guys are still here, and by the looks of it we have a lot of fresh blood around too.

Some names on that list I'd completely forgotten about. I only ever remember X-Naut when I do a Saves or Blams update (By the way, rain is forecast for tomorrow, so I'll try to get the saves done then, I promise) and Shanus was tied in quite majorly to the Review Request Club. Other than that, it made me think what mark I've left on Newgrounds as a whole. Not much, so I'd better do more!

I just wondered how many posts from gfox it would take to reach 0.01 per day. You're a bigger stat whore than me, so you work it out :P

P.S. No, Coop, it was the Thursday following the weekend I was out of town and ye were depositing for me. And, funnily (or not) enough, but after that weekend trip, I developed a really bad case of ultra-toothache and cheek swelling (infection due to the tooth issue)... which I then proceeded to hide Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday (the day of the proposal), and part of Friday... before telling my baby and calling a dentist.... Yes, I went on bended knee and slipped the ring on her finger while suffering immensely. I'M A MAN, DAMNIT. I'M 40!!!! </American sports coach press conference reference you might not catch>

Well, that's your own fault. You've obviously been planning this for a while and as a result, you couldn't let excruciating pain stand in the way of your hard earned, easily spent moneys!

P.P.S. Yes, I got in trouble for being too manly and not calling the dentist immediately on Tuesday. ;_;

And so you should. You're (nearly) a married man now!

And finally, thanks for the lv42 alt alt grats, folks. The fact that all of you said "gfox" means I don't have to EVER EVER POST WITH GFOX. Mwahahahah. Coop's regretting not putting "gfoxcook" on that line of his grats list now, I guarantee you all. #;-}>

I feel the same way, in fact, I haven't bought an Activision game in years, simply because the games that they produce just don't appeal to me, for example, I'm not a big FPS fan, so CoD wouldn't interest me in the slightest.

Last game of theirs I bought was Guitar Hero III. I actually wish I got into Guitar Hero sooner as the first two games didn't seem too bad. Plus, there was an effective way to get custom tracks on GHII. Too late for that, though.

Oh well, it happens, not much you can do about it I suppose (except support Capcom and buy some PW games :P)

Here's hoping someone produces a CoD killer and hit 'em where it hurts; their big, fat, over-inflated wallets.

Fact: The current CEO of Activision used to run 4kids.

IT ALL MAKES SENSE TO ME NOW!!!

Indeed, a game based on that one level would be amazing. What'd also be amazing is a Vernon Tripe game. After all, my friends love his characteristics and they haven't even played Psychonauts yet.

I suppose, although I reckon that if (and it's a big if) there was another Psychonauts game, it'd either feature completely different characters or be based around one of the more central characters, and I'm not sure that Vernon would be considered "central" enough. Still, it would be excellent.

Yeah, if they did make a sequel, the ones who I'm 99% sure will be in it are Raz (obviously), Lili and the four agents at Whispering Rock. Still, an appearance from the other characters would be nice.

I find your lack of Dogen disturbing.

Hey, the old level system was ridiculous. I like it how it is now.

Because .wma works better in Windows Media Player than .mp3 does.

No, I'm most comfortable with Windows Media Player. With the ease of the MSN and Last.fm plugins, I like Windows Media Player a lot. Not that fond with the other major media softwares such as Winamp or iTunes. I've had some trouble with them in the past. Windows Media Player on the other hand, no problems at all. :)

Not to me. Remember, I like silver more than gold, for one thing. And both the old level system golden gauntlet and the new level system golden gauntlet just aren't as simple and nice looking as the silver versions, which are more streamlined, sleek, and just plain better, even the gold vs. silver debate aside.

Arg, can't I have the gauntlet now if you don't like it as much as the others do? Then again, by doing that, my main will miss out the opportunity to have the 41 - 46 icons, and they all rule.

Joshua Tree is my second favorite. The only thing with that album is that I hear the singles so damn often on the radio. And they play them on almost every live show as well =/

Just as Achtung Baby is my second fave. #;-}>

You are lucky to have a radio station that plays Joshua Tree songs a lot. Here in my town, the most U2 I here on the stations I listen to... are War-era singles on the classic rock station. I mean, sure, every now and then there's Where the Streets Have No Name, too... but not very often compared to SBS and Like a Song from War.

*fixes the post first*

We also had a Classic Rock station that played a lot of U2, but unfortunately they went bankrupt recently. They used to play some Achtung Baby from time to time and even songs like Gone passed by every now and again.

Now we still have an 80's and 90's station, but that´s usually the Joshua Tree stuff I was talking about (Where the Streets, Still haven´t found, With or without You). I´d be glad if they played some War or Boy sometimes. Would make a nice change.

But when it comes to best from start to finish, and most good songs, it's Achtung Baby, yes. There's only one song on the entire album that I don't like very much and usually

skip. Otherwise it's straight through nearly anytime.

I´m guessing that song is So Cruel?

Nope! Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World. Something about the "... fish like a bicycle..." line and the song as a whole that just turn me off. Doesn't feel like it fits in the album as much as every single other song on the album fits. I wish it had been a b-side and Lady with the Spinning Head (an excellent b-side which I have in 2 different versions from two different AB-era singles) had been on the album instead.

I think the line is:
"And a woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle".

Weird line indeed.

The live performances of the song feel pretty good though and I don´t have much problems with the original either although I don´t listen to it often.

But I agree that Lady with the Spinning Head would´ve fitted quite well on the album. Do you have an original version of it by the way? Because all I could find was a 6 minute long extended remix version (which was awesome) and a very early version. Which was more a mix between Lady With The Spinning Head and Ultraviolet along with the line Wake Up Dead Man somewhere. Which also had it´s own name: Wanna Take You Down (you probably know it).

550 HOURS!!?? Jesus Christ. I probably haven´t even played Majora´s
Mask for that long and I´ve beaten that game at least 10 times by now.

700ish hours now! Blame the spy/sniper update from 5/21...

TF2 is the most fun multiplayer FPS ever, and has no plot, no start and no finish, and... thus... comparing how many hours of a single player game with a storyline like a Zelda game... you have... to how much time in TF2... is not even comparing apples and oranges... it's like comparing eating chocolate ice cream to hiking up a mountain!

Okay maybe that isn´t such a good comparisation, but come on. 700 hours on one game is just insane. You would say that after an hour or 200, you would´ve seen and done everything and the boredom would start to set in. At least that´s usually how it goes with me.

LOLLLLLlllll... I THOUGHT I SAID NO GRATS for that post.... oh wait, I probably said no grats on the 3600 from 36000 part.... STILL, I THOUGHT I SAID NO GRATS. #;-}>

Thanks anyway. It's a beaut. Oh, I still haven't saved any more. TIME TO RUIN MY BEAUTIFUL 1.11111111111111111111 soon. ;_;

The identity confusion is killin' my buzz here. #;-}>

I just wondered how many posts from gfox it would take to reach 0.01 per day. You're a bigger stat whore than me, so you work it out :P

Oh, well, if that's all you want to know, then yeah, I'll just work it out sometime. This is assuming that NG's profiles don't have wonky rounding when it comes to the ppd stat, though (which sometimes I think they kinda do... I remember that back in the day I used to use my ppd to find my "days on NG," and of course the number wasn't very consistent due to the ppd not going to enough significant digits).

Anyway, just look at my ppd for gfoxclock, and you should get a good idea. Divide gfoxclock's postcount by his "ppd units," and you should have how many posts gfox needs for 0.01 ppd, if that makes any sense. Hell, I'll do it now:

he's got 236 posts and 0.11 ppd. So 21.45 posts per ppd unit. I'd guess it'd take at least 15-20 posts minimum for gfox to get a 0.01 ppd. It's hard without knowing exactly where within "0.11" gfoxclock is, of course.

If you really care, go find my "days of account life" stats on NG log and boom, you're golden. #;-}>

Well, that's your own fault. You've obviously been planning this for a while and as a result, you couldn't let excruciating pain stand in the way of your hard earned, easily spent moneys!

Well, it's more that I didn't want her to know I was in pain during my proposal to her until afterwards. Didn't want to ruin it for her. ;_;

Anyway, she's not big on ceremony. It was my idea to do the proposal 1 year to the day before our wedding date, she wouldn't care when it was, in fact she was all "baaaaahhhh, you don't need to get me an engagement ring, we're pretty much already engaged." She woulda been fine had I just gotten matching wedding bands (which I did as well). But I found a really nice silver ring with a celtic knot on top that would be more of a "central/top dealie like engagement rings tend to stereotypically have a jewel of some sort atop, most stereotypically a nice African blood diamond, of course"... versus the perfectly round/same-width-all-around wedding bands for both of us....

And so you should. You're (nearly) a married man now!

FUNK DAT! I'mma suffer through it. HIGH PAIN TOLERANCE WIN.

And finally, thanks for the lv42 alt alt grats, folks. The fact that all of you said "gfox" means I don't have to EVER EVER POST WITH GFOX. Mwahahahah. Coop's regretting not putting "gfoxcook" on that line of his grats list now, I guarantee you all. #;-}>

Wait, what?

Well, you'd made your comment about how gfox had his level 42ness but the damned bastard never posts. And that bit earlier you replied to in this post where I kinda said "hmmm, maybe I should announce my gfoxclock achievements with gfoxclock and my gfox achievements with gfox, thereby finally posting with gfox... to avoid the confusion that people sometimes mix up my account names.".... but then no one confused gfox with gfoxcook like they confused gfoxclock with gfoxcook (probably just due to name character-length).... so gfox seems free and clear in the "not needing to post EVAR" department. #;-}>

Had you put gfoxcook "accidentally" instead of gfox when congratting my alt alt on level 42, then the perfect record my gratters had on that level 42 congrats woulda been shattered, and I couldn't point to that and say... woot! Free and clear.

One day, man... ONE DAY....

I'm free on Thursday, if you're up for it?

Up for time travel? I kinda meant one day as in one day they'll fix that and we'll be able to move through time in many directions... it was a nebulous far-off future sometime "one day," not... this week. O_O

But I wish!

Oh well fine. I'll get my own party. With Black Jack and hookers! In fact, forget the party and the Black Jack!

crashes BenderCoop's private party because it sounds pretty good:::

Did you bring beer and smokes?

I don't smoke no more, but hell yeah, I brought a six pack.

How's it going lately with the medal situation? Did ya take my advice and go for the ThingThing3 ones?

Some, but it's difficult to play Thing Thing Arena in the office of a lunch time - people tend to crowd around and get interested in what I'm playing. Even if I put the headphones on >:(

Heh! Yes, the blood doth indeed be fillin' up the screen immensely. VERY SIGHT-GRABBING at an office, I'm sure.

Yeah - he wants me to land on exactly 99,999 and then 100,000 Pentapoints (TM)

Yeah, I remember when I did that. Exactly. #;-}>

I think I have a screenie of both on NGlog, but here's the one that matters. The 100k one, of course. (See bottom of post! *****)

Ah, but to quote a few users on site with regards to experience - who says that I'm going to die first? Also, if you're missing 6 deposits a year, that's a whole 60 experience per year that I'm catching you by and that's faster than I'm catching certain nefarious individuals at the moment *cough*gfox*cough*

Get more sleep before you quote stuff, Greg - it's cost me precious minutes trying to work out who said what and to whom!

That had nothing to do with how much sleep I got, man. It was due to compiling all the quotes (and some of my replies to them) previously, saving them in notepad, and then pasting them into NG BBS. It screwed up the line breaks. That was said by you back a month ago or so, of course, but the damned glitch made it look like I said it. O_o

Yeah, then the Nuggets would have won in the West and would have beaten the Magic for their first franchise title.

Hey now. I think we woulda taken them same as the Lakers did.

But hell, even if what you say is true, I woulda been fine with that, too. Nuggets OR Magic getting their first, really. Damned Lakers. DAMNED LAKERS.

You're going to make me look back through this, aren't you?! *sigh*

No, it was me running about in the werewolf costume, waving the chainsaw. I'm trying to see if she'll come back, just to say hello.

Awwww. Well, I obviously did anticipate that was a possiblity. I didn't read that part of a reply that carefully, just noticed there was some schnee in your quote or someone else's quote at some point. But it wasn't the real thing. Awwww. ;_;

Anywho.
