Party Quirks (game started).

Can everyone just stop talking? Thanks.

Chronos, cool simul-post. Totally wicked.

Children, children, children, stop your squabbling. It’s past your bedtimes, and I think you’re getting a little cranky.

My goodness, I just realized it’s a school night! I think you should all go wash up and put on your jammies.

Oh come on, it’s not that late. (bear with me everyone, I’ll try to get her to let us stay up!)

Aw, can’t we stay up a while longer and play with our toys?

::bids everyone good night::

Posting resumes tomorrow.

Did I miss anything guys? I was just in the bathroom reapplying my lipstick. I love all the white in there, it reminds me of work!

Your lipstick looks tres chic, Intergalactic Warrior.

Meanwhile, I’m having an extra glass of bubbly to celebrate the fact that I just found out that in this online game I’ve been playing-- it’s like a Montague/Capulet, Hatfield/McCoy type of thing, where you have go up against others and take guesses about… oh forget it, it’s too complicated to explain and it doesn’t really matter anyway, but my point is, I won! I totally won! C’est incroyable! Guys, this has never happened to me before, and I’m just totally busting.

Anyway, sorry for the digression. I’m definitely up for other games, so let’s have at 'em.

You mean like in Romeo and Juliet?

Yes, quite like it. Or to use an example from one of my favorite pieces of literature, as with the Sackville-Bagginses versus Bilbo.

But don’t get me started on LOTR, I could easily (and most gladly) go on all night!

Yaaawn, I must have fallan asleep on the sofa. Too used to a different time zone. I hope the hosts didn’t take photo of me while I slept!

choie, are there any old time co-op games which we can play together? Do the hosts have a Wii stashed somewhere around here, or perhaps a Xbox360 or PS3? There used to be this sweet co-op game Return of the Kingp for the PS2. How I miss it.

Wow, I envy you. Frankly I’m finding it hard to imagine falling asleep in this weather. I’m used to a much warmer climate.

It’s funny you should ask, because while there I was getting a bit of work done on my own game, which I bet will be right up your alley… when it’s finished, anyway. You just have to be patient. As the French say, Tout vient à point à qui sait attendre. (I love that expression!)

What a bummmmer.

Anyway I thought we are supposed to be playing Twistar? I think the hosts would love to look at…us fumbling in different awkward positions.

Crowbar of Irony +3 has to make a typo in every post.

Yeah, it’s a quiet. A little too quiet.

Oh no, I spilled wine all over my apron! Good thing I have eight more in my car… I’ll be right back.

Gooooooooooood morning party people!
Question: rested very well?

Not me, Ender24. I had to spend much of the night preparing for a case later this morning. This landlord entered into a contract for some construction work, but the builder didn’t complete the job by the agreed date. Now the contractor is suing the landlord for breach of contract.

I hold that the primary principle applying to construction disputes is that if one signator of a contract makes a material breach of said contract, this discharges the other party’s continued performance. Since the landlord/builder’s contract happens to specify that the job should have been done by a certain date, the builder must satisfy this obligation in a timely manner before requiring the landlord (the other party in the case) to perform his or her end of the contract. Since he didn’t, the landlord was excused from fulfilling his portion of the contract, i.e., making payment. Q.E.D.

(See Mustang Pipeline v. Driver Pipeline., 134 S.W.3d )

(Sorry if this bores some of you. I’m really into this particular case because it focuses on both my areas of expertise.)

Do you think that spill pattern on your apron is appropriate for this party?

Hey notfrommensa, I’ve been meaning to ask you. I’m detecting a familiar accent in your speech. You wouldn’t happen to be a fellow citizen from the “Show-Me” state, would you?
