Hmm. So apparently the whole site's broken. Great. As if my life isn't lonely enough.

*edit* Ok, so the entire site except the linear thread. But at this point, no one's talking, so what's the point?

May you have enough.

My clothes were'nt made in sweatshops. I at least have some standards. I only wear pseudo-brand names made with Chinese prison labor. Nothing but the best for me. It's like my canned tuna (caviar of the lower classes) ~ if it's not at least 19 percent dolphin I won't touch it.

I should begin a revolt. Citizen is British and he'll inevitably install a monarch once his side wins. Boston Keg-Party, my place, be there or be square. our side wins and I promise everyone a gas-guzzler in every garage, a chicken in every pot, and a capitalist sweatshop on every corner.

PS ~ this is my final post in the "floors". Said I wouldn't post here anymore and I'll honor my word. Said what I had to say. Plus I'm sure Seryn won't relent till she gets me sitebanned (Deja Vu all over again).

No such thing as gravity. The "Earth-that-was" just sucks. ...transmission ended. Radio Free Thinking is permanently out of the building.

Random Transformer Trivia:

"Gravitas" was the name of one of the Council of Ancients, the former rulers of Cybertron before the war. He (with the rest of the Council) was killed by Starscream shortly after Optronix was given the Matrix of Leadership (and became Optimus Prime), over five million years ago.

Huh. Let's see, "gravitas" (from Wikipedia, natch). "Dignity, seriousness and duty".

Oh dear. I think it's obvious that the first two haven't had any effect on this thread. So, that leaves "duty". Duty. To this particular clique? To the tv show Firefly?

We can't be lacking in duty, can we? In which case, 1 out of 3 ain't so bad, from a baseballish statistical perspective.

You seem far to willing to protect Americans for this regime, sounds like it's time for an indepth investigation by my Marxist Milita followed by a Kangaroo court. Frankly those are hard to organise than you think, those big footed bastards just keep leaping all over the place.

I imagine you doing this for 22 hour intervals, 7 days a week, wired out of your melon on psychosis-generating levels of Starbucks coffee. I imagine you with 2 hounds, dobermans named "Hans" und "Franz", at whom you yell nonstop the same two phrases... "Mach schnell!" and "Achtung".

Please. Do me a favor. Don't go start being nice to me... you'll spoil the illusion.

Stuart are you reading this? Theres another man fantasizing about me in knee high boots and weilding a horsewhip? And apparently he's doing it 7 days a week for 22 hour 'intervals'.
I don't know if i want you to beat him up or admit him for doctoring.

Well, sadly for your fantasies my dear, I do have a bathrobe, and knee high boots, but nothing would induce me to wear them together. and the closest i've ever come to a horsewhip was the small blue plastic one one of my little brothers toy cowboys wielded - usually against a herd of bewildered plastic Ewoks.

And the only dogs in my life are called Molly and Kara, and mostly sleep and drool.
Oh and i don't drink caffine and even if i were to go crazy it still wouldn't involve German.

As for threatening to ask to get you banned....

i'm not going to give you the satisfaction.

Silly me I posted this to the wrong thread:

Scene: Day. Police car parked under a highway overpass inside are a sherrif (John) and a rookie deputy (Rich)

Rich: Sure is dull out here waiting for cars to go by so we can ticket them for speeding.

John: Could be worse.

Rich: How?

John: We could have to watch re-runs of "Who's the Boss."

Rich: True that. (long silence) So did you catch the game last night?

John: No.

Rich: Probably for the best it wasn't that great. (another long awkward silence) Have you picked up a card for mothers day yet?

John: (Flatly) Mother's dead. (even more awkward silence till a van goes rocketing by) Well did you see that? Time to get to work. (the sherrif takes off in pursuit lights and siren blaring.) Phone in the description to dispatch deputy.

Rich: (using radio) In pursuit of a light blue chrysler van with out of state plates number oner seven X-ray george niner niner. Travelling eastbound on highway 1. Vehicle has bumper sticker "Proud father of Indiana University honor student"

(The van driver finally notices the police car and pulls over)

John: Okay, Rich lets take this nice and easy. We walk up and ask for licence and registration, write the ticket, and get back to the overpass. Some nice easy police type work to break up the day. (The sherrif and deputy walk over to the van. The driver of the van rolls down his window)

Driver: Is there a problem officer?

John: You do know you were speeding there don't you?

Driver: Well who doesn't speed?

John: Sure. What's your name hoosier daddy?

Driver: Rich Barton.

Rich: Hey, he's Rich. Just like me.
