Forsooth! What sort of sluggishness has possessed our fair **GoodAskthePizzaMan**? Is it sloth? Or skullduggery? What sinful distractions are possessing him to delay in his completion of his task? /Hmmm… to pilgrimy? ---

> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > Can we just complain? > > 'Cause there’s really nothing interesting on TV right at the moment. i just watched _I Married A Witch_ with Veronica Lake and some other dude. It turns out the 5 minute clip I saw on youtube was basically the funniest parts of the movie. I’m a little disappointed. Although Lake was absolutely gorgeous. If anyone can suggest a supernatural comedy in the vein of _Blythe Spirit_ or the like, I’m all ears as I’m feeling let down right now. (And I’m pretty sure Fox has been hyping both House and Bones which are airing new and exciting episodes tonight. Are you saying the bloom is off the rose already?) ---

Hey, Orlando and the surrounding areas, get chinese for once! We need our mod back! (I hate flood control.) ---

Do you think this game will ever start, I have itchy fingers. So to cheer you lot up, there is a new South African band called KONGOS and the song is called “I’m Only Joking” and it’s free outside of SA. The chorus really describes most of us Mafia Players. It’s on You Tube. I would be interested if you downloaded it, I think Peeks needs it too lol, lots of drums, the chorus is what ya all need to hear ---

Hardy har har. Anyway, here are the rest of the PMs. Sending… If I can’t finish them all, and pass out, my apologies. My two weeks of working straight are nearly over. Man this is bullshit.
