Hey, when is that btw?

After Christmas.

Which I will be hosting, by the way.

I'm the smartest person here and I only have a Bachelor's degree.

Well, I enjoyed watching anyway.

I voted canuck. I think the case on him is the strongest at this point.

Zombie is a good choice. Lots of rum. Great for the summer!

You all, everybody
You all, everybody
Acting like you're stupid people
Wearing expensive clothes
You all, everybody
You all, everybody
You all, everybody

This song makes a lot of sense. Never thought about it before. Stupid people wear expensive clothes. My grandma buys all my clothes (seriously) because she works at a thrift store. My shirts are all brand new and she paid like a $2 for each of them. I don't understand the mentality of someone who drops $90 on a sweater. Maybe you're not lucky enough to have a grandma who gets first pick when the Salvation Army truck comes in. That's okay. I don't judge.

Actually I sometimes do. Especially young people.

Such as when kids spend $200 on Nike shoes. And brag about it. I'm like, "What the fuck students?" Those shoes cost around eight bucks to make in Vietnam. But shoes are good for something. Shoes, even Nikes with a 2400% markup, keep your feet warm and comfortable. And granted, you can get those amazing squeaks on the basketball court (although they still don't have pumps on the tongue like mine used to have). Still, they're shoes.

What I don't get are Beats by Dr. Dre. Headphones are great, and I use them all the time for various listening-related activities. But $300 for headphones? Really? Again, "What the fuck students?" is what I would like to say but the principal might hear me. But if he didn't, I would add, "You fucking dumbasses. Why pay $300 for headphones when you're going to listen to bullshit, over-compressed pop and rap music in - *catches breath* - FUCKING MP3 FORMAT? You aren't Phil Spector, even though some of you could be his love child with Crazy Eyes from Orange is the New Black, so why the fuck do you have things on your head that are more expensive than the things on your feet?"

"I got these from my grandma for Christmas."

"See this shirt? I got this from my grandma for Christmas. My grandma cared enough about my fucking dignity that she got me a handsome polo to wear to work, and had enough money and thrift-store employee discount left over to get my children more toys than we could fit in our 2000 Dodge Durango. The only beats my grandma ever gave me were across the ass when I thought about doing something as stupid as buying $300 headphones. This pink shirt with a a blue equestrian on it? God damn right I'm proud of this shirt. And you got Beats by Dr. Dre (now owned by Apple). A status symbol to you because you don't know shit about frequencies or decibels or lossless audio files and neither do your friends. These "friends" who will walk alongside you in the hallway with their earbuds in their ears and your Beats around yours and you two texting each other about the boy who got a blowjob from some other girl in the bathroom and now the pictures are all over Instagram.

What the fuck students? Look at your friend. Make eye contact. Smile. And you don't need the asshole who got head in a boy's bathroom.

Just like you don't need Beats."

But I digress.

Anyway, love my grandma. All three of them.

Xexyz was a game for the NES I rented when I was a kid. It was interesting that it combined a side-scrolling platform game with a space shooter. It was also occasionally scary. This all is like Xexyz. We're moving from one point to another, some people will get shot, and it's scary because I could die. So yeah.

While my primary suspect remains S~V~S, I find my ear opening to Roxy's perspective.

Very good this game is.

Also lol @ "Huggle Amour." Sounds like a perfume sold in Diagon Alley.

Upset? You could be. I'm not really paying attention.

Roxy wrote:That wtf was to Canuck who CLEARLY needs to read the thread instead of posting stuff that is not even true!
Then to qualify it by saying she is lazy is so laughable.

Thank you for the clarification.

Roxy wrote:Wtf?

Sorry if I've confused you in any way.

Really has been something else.

Quite all right.

Perhaps I'm being obtuse, but Roxy did not vote Sorsha either.

Okay.

Nutella, given your last post of the Day phase, where do you stand on S~V~S?

Maybe there will be more fruitful discussion in a few hours though.

Limiting discussion to Day periods is something I don't care to do.

Kindly explain, if you would Canucklehead, who your top suspect is out of the group you are referencing and why. If you are uncomfortable talking about that Night, no problem.

Jobs and other real life things can cause one to miss a vote, that's true. However, you were here posting soon before the vote ended. Maybe it's nothing.

But you know what isn't nothing? The fact that you haven't named one suspect of yours. Then, after missing the vote, you give the eye to everyone and his uncle. Also:

Canucklehead wrote:Can I call "bullshit" on everyone saying that they wouldn't have voted Sorsha if she hadn't been awol?? /quote]

By saying you probably would've randomized, you are saying you probably would not have voted Sorsha. So are you calling bullshit on yourself there?

I don't even know how Canucklehead missed the vote when this was posted at 5:09pm EST:

Canucklehead wrote:Ummmmm.
What just happened with Sorsha?

Also, Bullz: I was totally on board with you being civvish until your last post, and then I got really confused. Why the heck are you asking the thread for their input on whether or not your voting strategy/choices are objectionable??! I have never seen that. I don't know if it makes me think you're bad, but it certainly makes me think you're odd....

Also, I still don't suspect Sorsha and I'm sad that she's frustrated. Bummer. I do think her quip to DH about "getting over it" was interesting, though, and would love to hear some more elaboration on that point from either of the involved parties....

But the excuse was:

Canucklehead wrote:Guuuuuuyyyyyyssss! I'm the absolute worst.

Sorry I missed the vote, super stressful work day for me made me completely forget that this vote was tonight.

Sad to see Sorsha (and her role) go. Rats.

That doesn't make sense.

Hey, that's a wide net for someone who didn't even vote.

Everything should be reevaluated. Except what I think.

Don't make us wait much longer!

Come on, MR!

But if we don't, that's cool.

And I hope we'll have a post coming up.

Yet you missed the vote and could have sealed the deal. What the fuck?

I ALREADY SAID SORRY GET OFF MY CASE BOI

Zebra shit. Where?

MP finished running that a long time ago. I lost.

X-Rated performances can be seen at Eve's Garden in that game, which is a video game and one of the greatest ever.

While we wait for results, I think you guys should play Bioshock.

Very well. I'll take this time to expound upon my ideas.

Useless post, DH?

Taking one.

So I need a break, and I am

Really not so beautiful. I've been to three. Caught one of them.

Congrats all the same!

Bullzeye wrote:Zzzz...

I'm super tired, it's almost 1am. I wanted to stay up for the lynch but since I may or may not be going out all day tomorrow it's best to stay on the safe side and get some sleep.

Quiet everyone. Bullzeye needs his beauty rest.

Perhaps you should consider not ever going anywhere.

Like me.

Or maybe you're having a hard time under the bus lol.

Not surprised that MP missed the vote. Four others did too.

Kindly ask the driver to stop? I'm sure if you explain the situation they and the other passengers will understand.

I have to disagree. When I tell anyone about Mafia they look at me blankly and use the word nerd or dork. My older brother actually said, "Tasha, I thought you were the cool one."

Actually that sounds rather delicious.

Epi is Anti-facebook. He has to brag somewhere.

Did the kids eat it, too? I don't think I'd ever have eaten so many veggies as a kid

My kids ate some of it. Not Simon, of course, who said "To hell with this" (paraphrasing) and then asked for hard-shell tacos (which he also did not eat).

Keep me out of that shit. I stated my suspicion of S~V~S before any votes were cast.

Just two minutes until the end of the vote!

Individualism is something I applaud, but this doesn't sound like such a thing at all.
