    Do you miss Herman and Polaroid?

    Dude, are you drunk again? You were there when Herman was posting for days the eBay auction where he sold his Final Four tickets. The username was his Mom's full name, and we all learned about his parent's company together, that same day. You and I got PMs from Willie telling us not to post...

    Do you miss Herman and Polaroid?

    Wow, you're really on a crusade now, aren't you? With your advanced psychological training, could it be that you're unaware of how much you're projecting right now? I didn't learn anything from that article about Herman except the fact that he went foul ball hunting, and your claim that you...

    whats with all the fighting?

    It's called regression to the mean. You can only kiss ass so long before you just end up hating the people you're around.

    I said what I needed to say, and I'm glad you were able to make some responses that weren't a complete waste of time to read. Your motivations or purpose doesn't mean shit to me, except that I enjoy the way the typical defense to acting like an asshat is always "You take things too seriously."...

    If you're going to act like a twat then try to paint me with a bad brush, of course I'm going to take a moment to tell you how the bear sits. Nothing personal, I'm just not going to ignore you for the sake of harmony, I enjoy the acrimony. This all started in chat, and you know precisely how...

    I wonder...

    I'd love to say I didn't read all of that, but I did. In summary, you rub me the wrong way, pal. At some point you stopped being yourself and just started posting/chatting complete noise, anything to get some attention regardless of the current conversation(s). When you first showed up I was...

    Tully - Yeah, they typically ask for a donation, around $400 for the standard eight day retreat where I was, but considering you get the equivalent of a private hotel room with private bath and three hot meals a day, it's probably one of the cheapest ways to spend a week away from home...

    I wonder...

    Yeah Tully, it was exceedingly common, to the point where the seminary I was at had built a guest house for people to stay and immerse themselves in the lifestyle. You'd take your meals with the seminarians, pray the Liturgy of the Hours with them (involves waking up at 4AM, not for the faint...

    Your post hits on a very real issue for the church, MrMonkey, and I think you could go so far as to say that most, not just some, are attracted to a position which allows them to be respected in their community without the pressure of normal heterosexual expectations. In my experience at the...

    I wonder...

    Indeed I was, MrMonkey. I was like the head honcho of altar boys where I grew up. When the bishop would come to town or it'd be time to ordain a new deacon, they'd always call me. I ended up doing a bunch of weddings too because I didn't mind taking over the cantor's job of singing the...

    I wonder...

    I can only speak to the churches I've participated in (Catholic), but the administrative assistant is the person hired to work for peanuts handling the non-pastoral functions which keep the church running. We're talking about things like paying the utilities and other bills and handling...

    See, here's the thing Archie. At least I've got the backbone to attach this one handle to everything I post. If I say it, I own it. I'm not using 3 points ghosts and 3 chat ghosts in order to spend all-day everyday participating on forums without the appearance that I'm there all day, and yet...

    Blitty, is Ice time really $600/hr in Cali

    I think that's just the nature of limited opportunities in California for rink facilities, Tully. When I was living in Portland, we had four rinks to choose from, each having at least half a dozen leagues to accomodate, and while good timeslots were hard to come by, the going rate was still...

    Do you have Showtime in your residence?

    I didn't always concur with this, but lately I've come around and added both to my TV package. It's only like an extra $20/month and I just go through the Guide once a week and DVR anything worth watching. For times like now when the network shows are on hiatus, it generally spells the...

    Archie, are you trying to give Raiders a run for his money? If you don't have anything to add, then just don't post.

    I'm glad I gave you a laugh then, MrMonkey. You guys are very talented as a group of getting the non circle-jerkers to GTFO, so I'm sure you won't have to put up with the "weakness" much longer. Te saluto.

    Just a thought: If somebody I didn't care about left my social gathering prematurely, I would quietly thank my lucky stars and never mention it again. Did you stop caring when AMBy left at 10PM or when people started calling you out on making such a huge production about it?

    Sorry, but you don't get off that easy. Bustin' balls is something you do when it's just you and your boys in the room, I know because I do a lot of it myself. Doing it in public where it has a high likelihood of getting back to the object of your scorn is just petulant and uncouth. You...

    I don't know that I could assign a level of 'badness' to the jabs and tacit insults I saw headed AMBy's way from both of them, but I do know that I wouldn't tolerate it anymore than he did. I'm not privy to anything that was said in person or on the phone, my commentary is based solely on what...

    I hesitate to insert myself in this discussion again, (who am I kidding, I was waiting for an opening :-D) but you had a little obsession with Daft going on yourself, Robyn. I still don't claim to understand the details, but it appeared on the outside that you felt being dishonest to you, both...
