Since I have posted in just about every other forum tonight, and probably pissed more than a few people off with my thread-killing replies, unusually bad spelling and grammar errors (how I long for an edit button), and GIGANTIC fucking diatribes, I figured I might as well pit myself before someone else does.

Seriously, what the hell? I go from like 13 posts since 2002 to 5 times that much in text in One Night? I have no clue why I am so damn chatty tonight!

And what the hell was I thinking with all that Battletech nonsense, just cause I love it, and it turns out some other people here like it doesn’t mean I should spam Cafe Society with two threads in a row about it, each of which has an OP that’s like 2 screens long!

:smack: :wally

So, fire away!

Boy, are you ever fucking self-obsessed to be posting this.

I can’t believe noone brought this up before now. 😉

Yeah, I’m not too thrilled with myself tonight either. The last couple of hours of work were frustrating and at times borderline disastrous. And I felt “off” - not sick, just tired and un-sharp. Blech. At least I still paid.

Holy shit! A pre-emptive self-pitting, coupled with a little self-aggrandizing. I am impressed. You got balls.

It’s **H3Knuckles** ’s thread. We’re just posting to it.

Probably obsessed with their small penises.
