This is also the boss that is getting us new computers (The one we use at the airport is almost a decade old if I were to guess, and has 1 gig of ram), raises, cheap soda, and actually figuring out how to market us. Which reminds me, note to self, tomorrow hit campus and figure out who I have to talk to about getting onto the campus mailing list. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Orogun01 Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 @Kaine: If what you are looking for is to get so drunk that you have a memorable adventure like in the hangover then you can just run around with your underwear on your head, barf and wake up nude next to a hobo. That's the kind of real adventures you have when you're drunk, why do you think Wals lives on the country with no farm animals?I'm looking to...get lucky as much as possible, not wake up in piss and vomit next to a cow. Kids these days... in my days we took drunkenness seriously. I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"* *If you can't tell, it's you.

It's just that when we all hung out and got drunk we learned a small pile about her exploits (on a horse, on a motorcycle, on a roof, on campus in just about every building, in a van while lesbians banged on the windows......... not that sort of banging however). Did have an odd night last month where I ended up in bed with my lesbian was-boss-but-demoted-herself. But that's not exactly gonna repeat itself (again, she's a lesbian... unless she's so drunk she's barely able to walk). 1 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition!

Walsingham Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Meh. I'm a about as dusty and wound-down as tweed yoghurt, and even I don't pay much attention to sleeping with lesbians. It's not exciting for them. It's not exciting for me. Except for the time I awoke after a party to discover I was lying between two lesbian nurses with big bazonkulas. This was so clearly some sort of late-delivery from my teenage years that my temperature began climbing. Then I realised that of course being sandwiched between two well-upholstered bodies meant that no heat was escaping. However, I did decide that the situation was so good on paper I was morally obliged to remain where I was, on the off-chance that I died, and could have the circumstances on my tombstone. 3 "It wasn't lies.

Malcador Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I will say that I don't believe blood is thicker than water, I don't automatically assume that just because someone is family that's means you have to respect them. Respect and affection is earned and not a given when you become old enough to make your own decisions about how you feel about people Wow, I am surprised you think that. heh. Respect and affection are two different things - ever hear the saying 'I love them but don't like them', but that is up to a point anyway (I suppose if they're punching you in the face for no reason, that's the end point). So disresepct should be earned (why I care nothing for 90% of my relatives back home). I guess I forgot plaster smileys all over that post for you, oh well. Should have just pushed one off the bed, or made room some other way and escaped, Walshingham, no point in overheating. Edited August 22, 2013 by Malcador Why has elegance found so little following?

LadyCrimson Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 about as dusty and wound-down as tweed yoghurt, Walsh has some of the best little expressions sometimes. This one creates an interesting mental image, since I don't normally associate tweed with...yogurt. And this morning I'm sitting in my chair, trying to wake up whilst occasionally surfing the web, listening to music, and contemplating my navel lint. 1 “Things are as they are.

Walsingham Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I agree with Bruce. Family is as family does. I have mates who I am far more fond of than my randomly assigned direct blood relations.

Amentep Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 I've seen people screwed over by family and by friends and by strangers. The family and friends one are worse, because the person who is screwing up usually defends their actions with a "but we're family/friends you should forgive me/understand!" Moral of the story - I wouldn't loan money to anyone with the expectation to ever see it again. Sargy - maybe my biggest problem is I didn't have a message board with which to chronicle my exploits on. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

But they can wind up costing a lot more. And stop bullying your colleagues! The poor bastard already has his wife giving him grief. Fair enough. I've relatives I don't trust but my immediate ones I'm sure are there for me. Some of my schoolmates had mafia-like loyalty though. One dated a girl, his mother and her didn't get along so he told the girl to make peace with his mom or GTFO, she didn't so it ended just like that. And abuse is part of our workplace.
