I was wondering, Mentalgongfu2. And I'm glad you're doing well.

You've got a hell of a good mind.

You can't edit them again after 24 hours. This has reduced my capacity for reckless drunk-posting from 98% to 94%, and I don't like it one bit.

Seriously, though, if you're going to post something that you know you are going to want to remove at a later date, don't post it. Get tae yur bed.

I was shocked by MP's implosion. It's not like him to be unable to talk himself out of a situation, so was he (or he and others) planning to join the board as NG as some kinda psy-op? Why else cut and run like that? I hope he'll come back and explain as I really like the guy and his outlook, but if not I wish him all the best as long as he's honest.

I suppose that's the thing when people get banned, we never get to the bottom of it. C'est la vie.

I'll be leaving myself soon. Sorry, I'll rephrase that. I, myself, have to leave soon. I'm being evicted this weekend, no fault of my own, landlord sold the house, and I still don't know where I'm going. Offline for sure and for how long I don't know but I will miss you ALL and be back as soon as possible.

Don't have too much fun without me.

Heres to the crazy ones

I'd better get packing.
Bummer, best of luck. Maybe you can log on at library, school or friends.

Geez you guys, Seamus wrote that two-and-a-half years ago. He's been posting here fairly regularly since then.

Nevertheless - cheers!

Oh. :oops:

I assumed that since it was quoted in the most recent post, that the information was current.

(Yeah, I know: "ass-u-me.")

If Jeff cares to, he can ask me for some verifiable details about Pengus acco and then disable it permanently, Im fine with a change of makeup :)
