I think that **TVeblen** has been drugging our wine. But I can’t prove it. ---

isn’t it bad though, although you are an authority figure of some sort or another, that there are some people that will make your days harder and/or stressful just because? ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by beagledave \* > **I live less than 5 miles from three of the damn mods. I can feel the oppression when I wake up in the morning.** Hah. You think that’s impressive? I have to telepathically oppress all of Europe, all by myself. And trust me, they FEEL the oppression, from Istanbul to Stockholm, from Dublin to Munich. Well, maybe I need to train a little harder to reach Rejkjavik. ---

Hey, stop thinking so hard. I have nightmares about Coldfire all the time and he’s on the other side of the freaking planet. ---

I didn’t know all of this and was wondering why I was feeling so oppressed all the time. Especially when the wind was blowing from a Netherlandian direction. But maybe there’s a chance for freedom when **Coldfire’s** eye is distracted by the quest for Rejkjavik. Soylent Green is people!!! ---

Has anyone else gotten a phone call from **Coldfire** where he whispers “seven days” and then hangs up? I read the FAQ for the first time just a few days ago, and just seconds later the phone rang. (I wouldn’t have known it was him, if it wasn’t for caller id, and the sound of clog dancing in the background.) It sort of freaked me out. ---

I like the mods just fine. Its the self appointed mods I have a problem with this. ---
