So now you have operatives, minions, and cronies? You must have the magic penis or something. I can't even get a date to a concert when I'm paying. Unless you call my married with children, used to be bisexual, guy friend a date.

My neighbor's new wife informed me last night that she has a hot friend who is a huge HoMMIII fan, though. I find it hard it to believe, so I remain curious. Maybe you could send one of your operatives to Bucharest and find out for me.

What have I done?
Sweet Jesus, what have I done?
Become a thief in the night,
Become a dog on the run
And have I fallen so far,
And is the hour so late
That nothing remains but the cry of my hate,
The cries in the dark that nobody hears,
Here where I stand at the turning of the years?

If there's another way to go
I missed it twenty long years ago
My life was a war that could never be won
They gave me a number and murdered Tony72
When they chained me and left me for dead
Just for sending threats to some mods

Yet why did I allow that man
To touch my soul and teach me love?
He treated me like any other
He gave me his trust
He called me brother
My life he claims for God above
Can such things be?
For I had come to hate the world
This world that always hated me

Take an eye for an eye!
Turn your heart into stone!
This is all I have lived for!
This is all I have known!

One word from him and I'd be back
Beneath the lash, upon the rack
Instead he offers me my freedom
I feel my shame inside me like a knife
He told me that I have a soul,
How does he know?
What spirit comes to move my life?
Is there another way to go?

I am reaching, but I fall
And the night is closing in
And I stare into the void
To the whirlpool of my sin
I'll escape now from the world
From the world of Tony72/Unbreakable/Tyler Durden
Tony72/Unbreakable/Tyler Durden is nothing now
Another alt must begin!

Siljanus, you rock, but I just want to point out that when you modify show tunes to reflect political struggles on computer-gaming related internet forums, there's a substantial danger you'll open a vortext in the geek-time continuum, exposing everyone here to the possibility of getting sucked in and spending eternity playing Magic: The Gathering at a cosplayer convention.

What if you have already spent entire weeks at Denny's leading up to a convention playing Magic, so you could be ready to play magic all weekend at the convention.

We had a tag team room going which we might leave individually for 8 hours at a pop to either sleep or work or bathe or school, though we would rarely make enough time to do more than one while we were away.

Ah.....as we desparately tried to collect Plague Rats to build a deck that could exponentiate quickly, never really realizing the power of the lightning bolt or even direct damage, in general. Sleep was for the dead and coffee for the living.

However, this geek hates show tunes (and filking, blech). As I watch fellow geeks watching Grease and believing they can sing kareoke, I am much happier knowing that I will see the real thing tonight at the Social Distortion concert.

blushes Thank you sir. My larger project was to lay out all the evidence against Unbreakable/Tony72/Tyler Durden/Second gunman in the bushes using various satellite photos and other pics from the web, culminating in a ridiculous organizational flow chart. But this was quicker.

Actually, I have to retract that. He did *not* admit his identity, but rather responded to the outing of his amazon wishlist claiming that his twin brother created the wishlist three years ago to buy him gifts using his own (Unbreakable's) credit card.

This mystery went unresolved for 3 years because he failed to open his credit card bills in that time.

Anyhoo - as I understand it, this mystery has no ending, as his last remaining avenue of communication has been silenced by the PTB at #gg.

One point to note in his defense - he does indeed live with his twin brother, Mike. He wasn't lying about that. Despite how ridiculous it sounded when he claimed it.

But he still had no answer for why his twin brother would create an amazon wishlist three years ago using the tony72 handle.

I mean, how many unemployed Tony's from Chicago that are 32 years old and have a twin brother named Mike are really posting here?

Even when given a chance to come clean he couldn't do it. That's plain sad.

Nope, he came back after that and flat-out admitted that he was busted.

Meghan · Post by **Meghan** » Thu Oct 28, 2004 3:37 pm

boobie physics? I'm there!

Boobies are plunge divers and their dive is spectacular. When they spot fish, from 30-50 feet in the air, they power-dive, beak-down into the water, folding their wings back only at the last minute disappearing for several seconds and then bobbing up to the surface. Blue-footed boobies dive in remarkably shallow water, and they use their large tails to pull themselves out of the dive. One usually sees individual birds fishing, but it is not at all uncommon to see a small group of boobies flying in formation, heads down, looking for fish. Occasionally one can see large flocks of boobies fishing together. Amasa Delano, a yankee sea captain who visited the islands in 1801 described such a sight:

There is another remarkable bird found here which has not before been described. It is called the diver. They resemble the small kind of booby, and something similar to the kind which is described at the Lobas Islands, called Bonaparte's army, excepting they are of rather a darker colour on the breast and neck, and their beaks and feet are of a prussion blue. These birds collect together in small flocks for the purpose of diving. They fly round in a circle and continue to rise till they get to the height of from sixty to a hunmdred yards in the air, when one of them makes a pitch to dive, at which motion everyone follows. They fly down with remarkable swiftness till within four or five yards of the surface, and then suddenly clasp their wings together and go into the water with the greatest velocity that can be conceived of, exceeding anything of the kind that I ever witnessed. This bird should be contrasted with the pelican. They go into the water with such force as to form a curve of thirty or forty yards in length, before coming to the top again, going to a great depth under water. They glide under water at almost as great a degree of swiftness as when flying in the air. The water was so very transparent where the ship lay, that they could plainly be seen during their submarine course.

what?

You need to read this thread more closely. EVERYONE gets made fun of at #gonegold. Notice how I kicked Orpheo during that short log, for example. I've kicked two other people today too, and they love it. Or so they tell me when they worship at my feet.

It's all about being upfront. You guys told Unbreakable that "You're not welcome, for reasons you already know. Shoo!", while we said "You're not welcome. Here are the reasons (not necessarily apparent in the log, I might add. The reasons built up over several days). You've got a chance to explain yourself, otherwise you can piss off."

Personally, I like the second version.
