Noooooooooooooooooo! How can he do such things when there is server space to fill.
Though I am beginning to understand having been in Mongolia for a few posts now.

I think we're hanging out on Facebook lately and the LTE has suffered.
Hey, Miles, I forget which thread it's in but, I give up. What's 1818Miles?
Since the informal mod of this thread (i.e., BD) has put an informal ban on the arachnid s-word, I have been muzzled.;):D
Political theater of the last week has been soaking up some of my PW time.
But it's now time for the weekend, and with Survival Football, NASCAR, and Duke Football, there's plenty to discuss.
It's also the opening weekend of the fall monthlong horse racing meet at Keeneland. This is one of the most beautiful tracks in the country. Too much work right now, and it looks like schedules will prohibit us from attending ANY of the meet. AARRRRRGH!!:mad:
Cheers,
Lavabe
looking like a 70% chance of a furious weekend of PW'ing...
Hmmm, well there is the Duke football game at noon today. Auburn is at Vandy, but I will likely be catching that one on TV. Dodgers versus Cubs in LA on late tonight(10 PM)...what does all this mean? I have postponed social interaction with non-fans until tomorrow.
The big news around my apt complex is that Google Maps finally got our address correct and updated their satellite photo. For 1 1/2 years we couldn't be found...
Yahoo! News headline:
"Here, kitty: Police expect house cat, get cougar"
Wonder if she was blonde? :D
meow :D
I sense the hot breath of a furious Bostonian poster on the hairs of my neck...
You've mainted a mid-20's posting lead all day...I have had to post on all 3 boards to keep up.
I think I'm broken, sort of like our defense...
Hmmm, maybe its contagious.
My original "gazelle" post today was #58 on the "rules of life" thread, if you're still interested:o
Yep, saw it...but hey another post for both of us. Hey, you've stretched out your lead again.
Okay, Vandy just made an excellent goal line stand versus Auburn.
Vandy may have the same trouble Duke ran into. Unable to generate any offense.
For anyone interested(DA...who I haven't seen around here in a while), Vandy pulls within 6 at half to 13-7.
Uhoh, you are at it again, just when I had your lead back to the mid 20's.
Ahhh, I see...
Truly impressive, devildeac and Ymo, carry on.
devildeac, you certainly maintained the pace my slightly younger fingers were pushed to their limits also.
Ymo even lured me over to the PPB (there, I said it and I don't feel dirty any more:o) yesterday. Astoundingly, someone even read one of my posts AND quoted it AND asked for some POLITICAL info about the senate and guv'nor's race in NC. And they say Devils and rams, err, wolves and sheep can't co-habitate:rolleyes:.
Quoting yourself and up to a 35 post lead...you've lulled me into a stupor to leave me in the dust. :D
I saw bits and pieces and left the living room in disgust.
Ahh, I did the least worst of the crowd...
I will be posting here longer than I thought...looks like I'm going to have to push out my retirement a few years.
Not as young as I used to be...:D
Sorry for beating a dead horse, as I know some have given up on this show already.
Can someone who saw last night's episode explain to me why Peter "needs" Sylar's power? Doesn't Peter have the ability to absorb anyone's power just by getting close to them? Why then does he have to cut off their heads to do it now? And since when can he die since he hung around Claire? Maybe you can explain it that he'll stay dead as long as the Haitian stays around.
Oh, and Nikki/Jessica/new VP lady are triplets, but the third triplet was named Barbara? WTF?
Rest of the episode was OK, but the fact that everyone is a Petrelli and no one stays dead is getting old. Parkman's storyline is beyond lame. His girlfriend runs all the way from California to NY, only to die in his arms. Nice.
<Insert Jason Evans rant on how nonsensical Herores plot is below>
I've gotten better at lying about my age. Of course, for a while, I had the kids I worked with at church lying about my age, so that helped. (Of course, I'm probably going to H E double hockey sticks for that. :D Acting younger than you are helps too. Since I act like a 3 year old at times, once you average that with my chronological age, it makes me much younger. ;)
Wish I could answer any of your questions but I was confused by most of the episode last night. I'm about to jump ship. I think they have made a huge mistake including time travel as a power (along with immortality). How could they possibly have any future seasons with the way they are currently jumping back and forth into the future? I know there was a bit of this in the first 2 seasons but now it has gone overboard.
I suspect you're lying the wrong way. You need to lie up. For example, if you said you were about 5 years older than you are, people will say "wow! You look great for (DIK's real age + 5)!" Course, for me, not having a husband or kids already makes me look great for my age (40). Or so I'm told. Maybe everyone is lying to me. I hope not, that would make me very sad.
The fact sadly remains though, our bodies are still aging. :(
Actually, I really don't mind telling people how old I am. Sometimes they believe and sometimes they don't. And you are right, our bodies do tell us that we are getting older. A few months before my 40th, I had to admit I was getting older - by the middle of my 3rd soccer game that night, my quads were tightening up something fierce. I guess I better get cracking so I can have the same thing happen as I get closer to the big 50 - which is creeping up to the horizon. I would rather get a year older than not.
Can we please stop all this talk of getting older? Its starting to get depressing.
No, I definitely wouldn't prefer the alternative...but I still don't want to talk about getting older as I'm fighting it every step of the way!
Also, I just noticed that this is my 2,000th post (I'd hate to see my totals if the numbers from the old boards were included!) and I think it is rather appropriate that I hit that milestone in this particular thread.
Did someone say dirt nap? I may have to go hang out at FB for a while...
I'll give it a stab.
- I think Peter "needs" Sylar's power to "see" what events to change to make the future better. Instead of using the strings and guessing he should be able to figure out what events will be changed by his actions. He cut Nathan's head because of the hunger from Sylar's power. As for his death, it's been said/shown that a break in the spine behind the head stops the healing factor. Removing the head should lead to the permanent death of Claire/Adam/Peter and Sylar.
I once said to someone asking me my age, "I'm the same age I've always been, age now." He said, "Oooo, that's good, can I use it?" That's a writer's wet dream.
If Peter already knows someones power from standing around him, shouldn't that fufill his hunger to cut off their head?
I say this because it seemed like for the first 2 season's, Syler's only hunger was to obtain others powers. Now all of the sudden it was just a hunger to end life?
Again, it doesn't add up. Why someone didn't take the Haitian out in 4 years is also beside me... if you knock him out, he loses his power apparently, and he's always out in public...
but nope, hes just unarmed in the street running around.
Today is Matt Damon's birthday - Happy Birthday Matt!
I have insomnia and restless legs. So bad, I can't even think enough to post. :mad:
Need.
Fellow.
Drafters.
Most.
Post.
More.
Restless leg syndrome?
I suppose so. I've never spoken to a doctor about it, but it feels pretty much like everyone else has described. Remember those little balsa airplanes with the rubber-band driven propeller? You turn, turn, turn the prop winding up the rubber-band, then release. My legs feel like someone was wound them up but won't release them. Walking and a massage tend to relieve the symptoms, but not last night.
Sure? There are quite a few posts on some other boards that don't appear to have much thought behind them...I should know, I put them there.
Still can't afford gas, my asset accounts are worthless. I may be taking long walks around the apartment complex...:(
With Kelly coming on board, it's a sign of an upswing trend for Duke. Look out, nation...
Hmmm, interesting...who is Kelly?
Gas prices are falling here and becoming more available so we'll be going to the coast with our girls, err, ladies for 2 days and 1 night with plenty of free time at a computer keyboard...
Assets aren't worthless, just worth less, MUCH less:(
Long walks on the beach (while not PWing:o)
Are you along for the ride;)?
Really? I thought it was Ymo's Happy Fun Bunch!
Do not taunt Happy Fun Bunch.
My voice is now baritone.
I hate having the flu.:mad:
But hey, TGIF!!! (Whoops ... wrong thread:p)
Cheers,
Lavabe
I think so, what I know for certain is that the place is clear of cougars...
I checked out the other boards and noticed a few posts I had missed. Didn't find any cougars over there either.
I have a vested interest in Mr. Edwards winning...:rolleyes:
Who would have thought a free Fantasy Racing league would cloud my thinking?
I would probably go with something more contemporary with my years, like Koubs...
Jason Evans will either have to get in the draft or be left behind.
The measure of success for the draft will be how close can we get to you...:D
"Shane, Shane, I l...", sorry deja vu.
I am GM guy, so no Carl Edwards for me. In fact, my favorite season was when Bobby Labonte won the title driving a Pontiac.
That would be Grant...he was also my avatar though I will probably switch to Kelly if Vandy loses a football game.
Haha, I like my money too much to do that!
Well, I better get as far ahead of the tsunami as I can...
Too much time in the pits...
That's why they have timing loops throughout the track and can get a photofinish at the end. Of course, when does this end? And how many laps are left?
The early bird gets the worm...or something like that. :D
Ahh, I've inched ahead as you have been typing. And no passing below the yellow line...except in certain situations.
People on the main board are upset about spelling of player's names again. Hopefully no one over here gets too upset about it.
Yes, and it costs you the win.
BTW, down goes Evans...should he really be the post-o-matic.
Better be careful a thread or two might get deleted due to my trash talking.
A hearty (no pun intended) CONGRATULATIONS on your ascent into your new lofty perch.
Gazelle hunting is fun and it appears you have bagged a HUGE one!;)
I realized you had a several microsecond lead and would become the 4th non-mod at the top so I have just cruised along for the enjoyment of the ride.
Ahhh, but bettor to bee a deek then a deac?
You are but a mere footstep or two behind me...similar congratulations to you in few minutes!
You have caught the gazelle also. How does it taste?
My punctuation has long since fallen apart. I blame it on PW'ing.
I hate to point this out, but the distance between Ymo/DD and me is about the same distance between me and ...
Jam Master Earl.
I say this not as a warning to Jam Master Earl, but as a warning to everyone ... I expect a massive poll frenzy from Earl of the Jammeth.
Cheers,
Lavabe
In this age of electronics and internet and the such, Do you think the world would be lost if newspaper print as a whole just folded up and went away?
Yeah, but she lives closer to Lavabe than me...:(
She likes movies, but she and I haven't been to a theater one so I don't know if she likes to talk during them. That apparently is a dealbreaker...
EJ might be in jeopardy at this pace for a few weekends:o:eek:
Just had some scrumptious pancakes ala Tilly.
I usually eat my 'cakes with a light topping of sugar. Anyone else share such a tradition of sugar on pancakes? Other than syrup or sugar, what else is there? lol
Yes, I relish the day when I can say, "Down goes EarlJam."
You've been posting on that other board haven't you?
The PPB tone has improved quite a lot lately. See the PPB sticky.
Seriously, it's gotten much better lately. I also feel compelled to post there, as fellow DBR ATL Mafia member Shammrog has been putting up the good fight. Besides, he's almost ready to cross the 3,000 post barrier!:eek:
Now if he would just change his avatar to Sarah! in her black phase!
Cheers,
Lavabe
No sugar added local berry preserves or Abbott's Farms' Peach Preserves are always great on ILJ's pancakes.
Cheers,
Lavabe
Mmmm, I'm hungry for breakfast again. I can eat breakfast for any meal.
Yes, I meant Lavabe. Did you see how quickly he folded? :)
Of course I deny any posting on the PPB and anytime you see my screenname over there, its an illusion.
