Well done lad.

Love each other and forgive each other- that's how a strong marriage works. Happy 12th my friend.

Joking aside, I appreciate the kind words. Eloh does too. She is the person who kicks my ass when I need it.

Every day is grand. Doesn't matter what we eat.

That half the picture is so cute.

Epignosis.

Or if she's a girl, Epignosis.

Seriously, speed, Luna, have you selected any names?

I'm going to be honest with you right now.

I like sex, and I have a naked lady fetish.

@speedchuck and I are expecting our first baby in October! We've been looking forward to sharing our excitement with all of you, and to the arrival of our little Speedalee. Just over six months to go!

Nothing like late night isos to keep you awake while you rock the baby to sleep.
We know you ain't a parent.
You know I have two kids right?

Six months. That's good. That's real good.

Because I ain't trying to deliver no babies this summer on vacation.

One and done. I'm retired.

I remember when my friend's brother (RIP) accomplished that. I went to the ceremony. I was impressed with what he had to do to get to that point.

Well done.

I have failed in my priorities.

I tried to keep up. I lasted about twelve and a half bars.

I was there. Eloh got wasted for the second time in her life.

Hoboken.

Right across the water from Hell's Kitchen and Manhattan and all that jazz.
oh yes, you must go see...something in NYC. Metropolitan Museum, MOMA, The Museum of Natural History, Ellis Island - one of those things depending on whether the kids are with you or not (Museum of Natural History would be my pick with kids I think). Congrats on winning this!

Thanks!

I think we're going to go to Central Park. Haven't decided on anything else yet.

I laughed.

It turns out the Saturday welcome party is on the rooftop terrace overlooking the New York skyline.

And of course we have to go to Carlo's Bakery.

I have never been to New Jersey.

My mother was born there.

And I just won a trip there.

I get to do fantasy sports in New Jersey during the first NFL weekend from here:

That sounds like a fun read. It's especially amusing since my boss (up until last month, that is) is named Roger.

(I like him, so I'd be rooting for him).

MP at the interview:

Don't listen to G-Man. Put it all on black 36!

Big deal. I presented a paper there once. It was called, "Money: It's a Gas. Grab that Cash with Both Hands and Make a Stash"

Oh God our Mafia games are data

It took me two days, but I solved a Rubik's Cube for the first time ever.

Man, I haven't listened to Mike Oldfield in forever. I should do that.
He has a new release, Return to Ommadawn.
I am scared to listen because Ommadawn is a great album and I don't know how it compares.

Pretend it's called something else then and has nothing to do with Ommadawn. Then listen.

Exactly.

"Woo! Look at me! I have the most posts on an Internet forum devoted to Mafia! Aren't I great?"

Stupid as hell, right?

Why bother?

I mean, post count is really stupid.

None whatsoever.

Seriously, no interest.

I have no interest in that endeavor.

Dragon D. Luffy wrote:So... I feel like I'm getting pretty good at hunting baddies lately. The last 4 games I played there was one guy I was the first one to spot when no one else did.

I blame this site. I've lost every game I played here as a civ, but I've learned so much from that. It taught me every "do" and "don't" of baddie hunting, I feel. Now, instead of trying to hunt every baddie at once and going for the ones making noise, I'm specializing at finding that one guy nobody is paying attention to.

Now I only need to stop being terrible at playing as a baddie.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I passed comps!!!!!!

Is that like...a kidney stone?

Well done.

Now you get to learn how much of what you learned in college about teaching was BS.

MovingPictures07 wrote:I'm now officially finished with all coursework... forever. Can't believe it. Definitely hasn't fully sunk in yet, but I've been waiting for this moment way too long.

Now onto the next portion of the PhD program -- 2nd year paper, then studying for comprehensive exams! 2 years down, hopefully 2 to go (perhaps 3).

You should have some bean dip to celebrate.

Congratulations!

Now when do you get one of those funny hats?

Wait wait wait hold up wait

G-Man got laid?

I'll purchase a copy when I get my wages.

To celebrate, I recommended that we watch 12 Years a Slave.
