[QUOTE=Taber]  
I’m afraid I’m not posting enough, since I have such a difficult quirk, but my quirk doesn’t really provide motivation to post in the same way that “post as Dionysus” does. I mean when Mr. Dionysus sees a post, he can respond as Dionysus but my quirk provides no such set response.  
[/QUOTE]

Ooooh… I have an idea! Hey, Taber. Can you tell me what you _had_ for breakfast this morning?

No problem, we’re doing pretty well. Tell you what, I’ll take care of Taber and you get Blaster?

Pinging, pending the Magnificent Bastard’s return.

And my cohosts might want to check out post 130. I think it’ll be helpful figering out his quirk.

**Blaster Master** , Where are you from?  
[/QUOTE]

I’ve lived in or near these parts all of my life. I spent a few years out in the sticks on farm with lots of pets… a horse, ducks, hens, dogs, cats… you name it, we had it. I’m a good ol’ boy from the South, you see… 🙂

Does no one have a guess to make against me? I swear, I’ll do my best to make it has hard as I can. I won’t let the hosts sweep us like the Red Sox just did…

GOD, I hate that town. I hate each sport team from there too. And the Pats… OH MY! My hate for them burns with a fire more fierce than the sun. But, I’m sure most of you knew that by now… right?

Erm… not to say I like whom the Red Sox beat, 'cause I don’t… I just hate the Red Sox more…

…they lack souls! They eat the souls of each young child they see… left is just a frail shell, left to roam the Earth for all time as a cold, dead ghost.

Still, as I am wise of the facts that they suck out the souls of the young… I can feel parts of me fade, bit by bit… I know, it’s quite a grim life… but it IS true.

I like almost anyone that hates the Red Sox. I love baseball and football.

You would. And I suppose you hate me because I love the Red Sox. What a way to treat your son, even if I am your brother too.

I like a lot of sports, but there is one of which I am most fond. If you could not tell from my rant, even though I hate the Red Sox, I hate the Pats more… I’m not all that into our “pass time”, but I AM a huge 'Skins fan, and I love the game. You’d think, as I am a 'Skins fan, that I’d hate the 'Boys more… but no, my hate for the Pats is more than you can start to dream… they’re dead set to mar the game that I love. They and their vile ilk shall soon be… crushed, I pray.

Are the hosts out there? I feel like I’m the sole guest here. Does no one want to be my friend? So… I guess I’ll leave, go home, and cry… no one wants to be near me, it seems.
