Random Thoughts, the Sequel

This thread has hit 100 pages. That's the limit Webby gave me.

Sorry. Gonna have to lock it now.

 

Well, that sucks.

 

So who's going to start "Random Thoughts, the Second Sequel" ?

 

You guys thought I was serious? ;D

 

I was just taking advantage of a post-padding opportunity.

 

Just exercising my April Fool's Day muscle early ...

 

That depends on the day here... some places have tournaments and they play all day. I refereed two games the other day at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Of course, it was almost 90 here too, so that sucked.

 

Grrrrr!

Someone who has posted on this board, someone with whom I was romantically involved, pulled a rather effective April Fool's Joke early, and I was completely fooled.

We've since cleared the air and become friends again, but I was scared there for a while. I got married? I knocked up someone? Wow.

And, for the record, the joke is funny, looking back on it. At the time? Eh.

 

It took me 10 times to figure out what the fuck he was trying to say. But I couldn't stop laughing because he does that all the time.

 

In the '30s, Hitler: Czechoslovakia, Poland, France, Second World War... Russian front not a good idea... Hitler never played Risk when he was a kid. Cause, you know, playing Risk, you could never hold on to Asia. That Asian-Eastern European area, you could never hold it, could you? Seven extra men at the beginning of every go, but you couldn't fucking hold it. Australasia, that was the one. Australasia. All the purples. Get everyone on Papua New Guinea and just build up and build up...

I learn something new every day.

Nancy Kassebaum, a longtime republican representative, was the daughter of Alf Landon, the man who ran against FDR for president in 1936.

 

Knew this already.

Of course, she was the senator from the state I was born in and still live in. ;D
