[QUOTE=Blaster Master] 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. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! [/QUOTE] I’m still here, but nobody seems to like me. I wonder why. ---

Yeah, it does seem darned unlikely. I’m not a host (or a guest … kind of the disembodied spirit of this game – not that any of the rest of you are exactly embodied) – but I must say you do play a fine game, sir! ---

Quick question Blaster Master, What’s 1 + 1? (I’m making more punch) ---

[QUOTE=Diomedes] Awww… poor Blaster. I was hoping my cohosts would want to hang out with you.Would you like to play a game? What do you think about parchesi? [/QUOTE] I don’t know much of that game. Does it involve dice or a board? I’ve not played it. I would be up for a nice game of cards though… gin, Bull S\*\*\*… heck, I’d play Go Fish… at least I know the rules. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] Quick question Blaster Master, What’s 1 + 1? (I’m making more punch) [/QUOTE] Why do you ask? Did you fail First Grade? The sum is two… or, if you like (though, I tend to like it spelled out more)… 2. Oh, and PLEASE, post haste with the punch. I’m in dire need to quench my thirst. ---

Hmm, interesting answer. Do you have any stories about your family? ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] Hmm, interesting answer. Do you have any stories about your family? [/QUOTE] Yes, I have lots! Would you like to hear some? Well, if you don’t… too bad, I feel like it. One year, when I was real young (five or six, I guess), I woke up at the crack of dawn to see what ol’ St. Nick had brought us this year. Of course, the dumb kid I was, I tore right through all of my gifts, while my folks still lay in bed, in their deep sleep. Well, I had a blast! I played with all of my new toys for a few hours… then my mom came down, saw me and, filled with ire, she yelled at me so loud that I’m sure no one for blocks was not waked. I was sent to my room but, good for me, I had my new toys with me, so I played with them as I would have were I not in my room, so it was still fun. …well, I did feel bad… in time; though, not 'til I was of the age where I could grasp the thought for us to each get a gift and open them as one. …oh well, I don’t even do that now. ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] Ack. If my theory is right, I need Blaster to respond next. Blaster, what’s one times 1? [/QUOTE] I’m not sure what you think my quirk is but… it is one or 1 If you think the way in which I spelled it out is of any worth, I could also say… it is 1 or one. ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] The phrasing is quite odd here. Perhaps that’s a clue? [/QUOTE] It could be a clue… or it may not be. 😃 Am I not able to have fun with how I phrase what I type? It is not fun to just use the same old form every time I write a phrase. ---

[QUOTE=Antinor01] That was mostly a joke. What do you think of the Lord of the Rings movies? [/QUOTE] They’re good. I’d use to think that the elves were wimps, but it made them look bad ass. Plus, I wish I had a friend like Sam… I don’t understand why so many thought he was gay. It’s not like they kissed. ---

[QUOTE=Rysto] Curses. [/QUOTE] I did not mean to spoil your fun, but why waste a guess when I can crush your hopes. 😛 Ah… it isn’t nice to taunt. But I’ve made a lot of posts, so they should give you some clues.
