Hate I missed the signups on this one. If you still need people in sub slots, toss me in one of those.

The voice of **Og** thunders from the heavens.

“I saw what you did there, Hero from Elsewhere! Thou hast violated the [Sixth Commandment of **Og**](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10386418&postcount=101), and thou shalt pay. Prepare to be smote by My …”  
A gentle murmur is heard; unfortunately the voice is too quiet to make out the words.  
“Harrumph.  
“It has been pointed out by My associate that, since gameplay hath not yet started, a demonstration of My mercy would be appropriate.  
“Since the game hast not yet started, no punishment shall be levied for this breach of the Commandments. But break not any commandment again, for My wrath is fierce against the Wrongdoer.  
“And the same to the rest of thee. Thy word shall be thy bond, at least when thou art playing the game.”

“So sayeth **Og**!”

> But I gotta give a little love. I took a charter flight a while back in a six seater. I was hammered and amazed. On the window was a button that said something to the effect of don’t push while plane is in flight. What’s a Curious George to do? Well of course ensure safety of malted beverage first and then push that sucker. Man as shit was going flying past my face off into the hinterlands I was just truly astonished. MF only opened about 2 inches but it basically sucked the ash trays clean. After the pilot did an emergency decline he calmly asked if everyone was ok. I thought it was hilarious but ex - wife number two and friend’s wife didn’t speak to me for the rest of the evening. My buddy had kind of seen the wheels moving in my head and just tightened his seat belt so he was cool with the whole escapade. So, it’s not a **santo** story where everyone ends in bed having some sort of wondrous sexual experience. On the return trip friend’s wife rode up front with the pilot while the ex and my buddy kept me away from the window. If I recall on the way to see the game we were at about 26k - on the way back we never got above 10k. Slept on the couch for a couple of weeks after that nonsense.

Wow. That is crazy. Did your plane have a little grid overlay of the ground below too? Man, those are great. You can look down at the ground for little landmarks and pretend to draw those on the map. My little tv thingy was always a little scratchier after the flight…☹

Thanks for the mercy. I was under the impression the game hadn’t officially started, as your associate also noted. My sincere apologies, I won’t repeat the mistake.

Also confirming, my PMs are on and I have read your message.

19 - 3 tech is spankin that longhorn ass. By the way I hate the broncos so I will say whatever you want about them. At this point I have no fear though.

Og is great and apparently merciful so rock on Og. I could use some help in the continued spanking of the colt and his heffer teammates.

Don’t know about the gridlines. It was just a personal flight to see a Spurs - Rockets game in Houston that I bid on at a charity auction. Flippin deal included a limo to the game as well as four front row tickets. Course I took it as an excuse to start drinking at coffee time. Couldn’t even come close to telling you who won or how the hell I even made it home.

Of note. At the auction I’m bidding like a MO FO. I mean I am jacked about this package. So auctioneer is will anyone go some additional amount. And of course I want it so bad I’m screaming Hell Yeh. Finally another one of my buddies grabbed me as I was getting ready to make another bid and was like “shut up you’ve made the last five bids already”. Christ knows what I would have paid if not for that.

And I did change my signature in accordance with the bet. On my BB I can’t see if I have complied with our terms. I certainly am a person of honor. Can someone confirm that it shows up? If not, a wee bit of help would be appreciated.

Other than that:

**Ban Oredigger**

Freakin’ PAC 10. Gotta be kidding me.

Beautiful. 😃

On a seprate note does anyone have a motrin, asprin or a gun to put me out of misery? Stupid hotel bar was charging $9 for a vodka and red bull last night and then I had a 40 dolls cab ride. Oh well, its almost over and I seem to be in one peace, I think. Anyone know how to tell if you developed cirocis over night?

One more thing I’m predicting a 6 point victory for the Dolphins today, fuck the Donkys.

So…you don’t fly anymore. That’s a shame. I don’t much, given fuel prices and all, but I have mapped out a few flights I’ll have to make regularly (Mainly visiting my parents and such), but it is nice to do so.

What’s with the new sig? Apparently there was a bet and scoires, but I’m missing something important…

I don’t know if I would call it “important” - but I think it makes you look like a nice person, that you choose to do 🙂

**Can we have clarification on Rule 7?**

Both **Rapier42** (in post 128) and **pedescribe** (in post 136) seem to have violated it. I’m always against post restrictions and would prefer none, but inconsistent application of a rule is bad too.
