Was not! I don’t even drink! (anymore). Hey, Toshirodragon, thanks! (takes cookie and downs it in one bite) man, I was starving! Hey, would the other ones be SCORPOnut cookies?! Oh, I gotta stop staying up so late…or early… heck, I haven’t been up this late since the last time I was up this early!(staggers off in direction of porta-pottie) ---

I think AM/Peon’s motivations were dissected pretty accurately by everyone here. Great rip, Esprix, and wonderful side comments everyone. dalovindj’s motivations? To me it appears pretty simple… remember that line from Jeremiah Johnson where they talk about how the strength of the tribe is measured by the strength of their enemy? Voila. dalovinnimrod saunters in, sees the commotion an agressor to Esprix can generate and thinks “Hey, maximum gain for minimal brain activity” and tries his hand at barbing, albeit a pretty weak effort. I’d not worry about dawhatever, Esprix. His motivation seems pretty disingenious. ---

You know, if I didn’t have this annoying work thing during the day I’d be _much_ more entertaining. Hang tight, folks. **Fenris**? Something else for the crowd? I’m afraid they’re going to start throwing bottles [sub]and I don’t want any of them to hit me[/sub], so hop to it, won’t you? There’s a good lad… Esprix ---

(zoogirl finally finds her way back from the Porta-Potties!) Would that be suspense as in suspended animation? Suspension of hostilities? Suspension of disbelief?! I disbelieve I’m still here! Helloo-oo–oo-oo… hmm, quite an echo. Is anyone still out there? ---

Ive always been one of those fans that waits until the game is officially over. You never know, there could be a last minute rally and AM/PMS could win this thing yet. ---

Well, I always seem to be the last one leaving. I guess I’ll hang out a while yet.(settles down, propped against a comfortable tree) I might have to take a little nap, and I do have to work tommorow, but I’ll be around! ( takes book and flashlight out of backpack, preparing for a long night.) ---

bdgr I am having an echo of a DOonesbury strip based on “Waiting for Godot” with that last post of yours. Mikes and Zonker were waiting for a presidential candidate who finally declared himself after everyone gave up and went home. Well I have nothing better to do… got my book, pillow, blankee, and cookies and 12 pack of Coke… might as well be lazy here as anywhere else… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/esprix/83251.md?page=11) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/esprix/83251.md?page=13)
