So I have done so. This I do in rememberance of **jarbabyj**. Mancow is an stuck-up idiot (although **Sofa King** may differ, if the handle is indeed derived from the faux-commercials on Mancow’s show.) Antonio Alfonseca is an utterly incompetent “closer”, he doesn’t merely blow saves, he simply blows. As a KC Chiefs fan, I welcome any and all criticism of that utter dickface Al Davis, the quintessential asshole Californian. (Hey, my California pal lives in San Francisco, so fuck Oakland, even if the Raiders were still in LA, where that glitzed-up pile of shit Al Davis still belongs.) Lamar Hunt would kick his ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. So get some more good angst built up for August, I think we’re all looking forward to hearing your complaints. ---

So I have to endure a **jarbabyj** -less SDMB just because she’s too goddamn lazy to get an Internet connection? Have a nice summer, asstwinkie. 😉 ---

Wait a sec…Ever heard of an Internet Cafe? Find one, head to it, then rant about everything that happened between home and cafe. Feed our addiction **jarbabyj** , enable us! Have a good summer- -Tcat ---

Wow, that was quick! I haven’t talked to jar in quite a while, but I was kind of thinking that would be a good one to welcome her back with. ---

Hey, hack into the neighbor’s phone line. Come on, you know you can’t leave us for an entire summer…and it’s only illegal if you get caught. As an aside, tomatoes are the salt of the earth. How dare you insult their reddy-goodness? 😃 (As another aside, thanks to the thread title, I now have Europe’s “The Final Countdown” stuck in my head. I need to open up Music Match for some Bach and Smetana immediately to cleanse myself.) Good luck to you. You’ll be missed. Ava ---

After a few lawyers got involved, I got my phone line earlier. So I guess you won’t miss me at all! (Although I was gone for two weeks…a big achievement for a gal like myself) ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Tusculan \* > \*\ ***Enderw24** , your brackets don’t match. (1046 open to 1125 close brackets). \*\* I hope to god you’re kidding and didn’t actually count those. ---

I know how he did it! Copy brackets into Word and do a Word count. He’s right. 1046 open, 1125 close. ---

Heh, I was hoping someone would ask that. And yes, I did count them all, three times to make sure I didn’t make an error. I just have to match brackets. It’s not something I’m proud of, just the result of an unfortunate encounter with LISP… What, you think I’m crazy? **Particlewill** hit the nail on the head. 🙂 ---
