Volleyball 2004 - Commentary

Someone needs to score my ( , ) and ( . ) ( . ) post.

Aunflin · Post by **Aunflin** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 5:03 pm

Shouldn't it be your ( . ) ( . ) and ( , ) post?

Post by **Darb** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 5:06 pm

Yeah ... "( . ) ( . ) and ( , )" = "T & A"

/me practices being a "8======D"

Aunflin · Post by **Aunflin** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 5:16 pm

LOL Brad!

Post by **Ghost** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 6:02 pm

It all depends whether theyâ€™re coming or going or â€“ if youâ€™re approaching from the front or behind. Or maybe whether youâ€™re a ( . ) ( . ) or a ( , ) man.

Someone just score the post (and don't forget the WOTD).

I was going to score Ghost's post when I realized:

1. I have no idea how to bring down the previous scoring without typing it all over again. I'm too lazy to do that. (Somebody explain - in detail - how to do it? I know you all didn't type it over and over....)

2. The Judge's robe is disgustingly filthy and I refuse to put it on. (NOTE TO ROY BEAN: I took the robe to the dry-cleaners; it'll be ready at 9:00 AM tomorrow. You can pay when you pick it up. Oh, and thanks for the $50 I found in the pocket.)

3. The Judge's gavel is broken from pounding me over the head for contempt of court. B_H said the same thing later on and you didn't pound him. My hurt feelings (not to mention my hurt head) might prejudice the scoring.

4. I am not a "( . )( . ) or a ( , ) MAN. Therefore, NO WAY IN HELL am I gonna touch that post !!!!

Well, you have to give Ghost credit, that was original.

Ooo, I have finially got an idea for one. But I need to think it over a bit and make it more interesting. I will try to post in a couple of days.

Just highlight the text with your left mouse button, and then copy & paste it into your own post.

I just hit the quote button...and then delete the quote="whoever" and the /quote and edit it accordingly...

Post by **Ghost** » Thu Aug 26, 2004 6:52 pm

me thinks the ( o ) ( o ) post was a ten, but Iâ€™m still waiting to see the final score.

/me hopes that Chinese judge isnâ€™t corrupt

and the Mistress had the robe cleaned

I don't know about the Chinese judge (just who are you talking about?), but the robe was definitely cleaned - I even told the drycleaners to use fabric softener so it wouldn't irritate your sensitive skin anymore - and Aunflin must have picked it up, which means you owe him $11.75 for the bill.

Heâ€™s the one that resides somewhere in Asia.

Sorry Judge - I hadn't checked this thread in a while or I would have scored it sooner!

Weekly Sherlock Award:

Very pitiful week (only 1 post):

Ghost: 5

Itâ€™ll be double or nothing on the Sherlock Award: 2 points are up for grab this week, but I get my 5 point head start.

Perhaps we can hornswaggle Cho Chiyo to join it ?

I've got you outnumbered 26 to 3, Mistress, so you can KMLWHA

p.s. Polite company precludes me from defining that acronym

Post by **laurie** » Tue Aug 31, 2004 10:14 am

The only part I don't understand is the "H"

You've been playing VB a lot longer than me - my 3 posts are from the past 3 weeks (plus a few days)

I think it means Hirsute.

LH: 3/3 weeks = one per week.

BH: 26/17 weeks = over one and a half per week

Post by **Darb** » Tue Aug 31, 2004 11:04 am

Hirsute indeed

Caught with your pant's down (AC/DC)

My apologies, Milady ... as usual, I'm just being silly and mean no offense.

Post by **laurie** » Tue Aug 31, 2004 10:38 pm

Funny, I thought of "Hairy" a while after I posted........

I

to the higher post-per-week ratio.

Still waiting for that Olympic-themed post, though.

Post by **Ghost** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 10:55 am

Since no one has posted for more than a week I followed up myself.

We had a rule that you could post again as long as you waited 72 hours.

Oh-well, hopefully this will kick-start the story.

Post by **Darb** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 11:26 am

GHOST:

Again, my apologies for not having posted lately ... time's been tight.

I've already got a pair of posts circling in the back of my brain ... a continuity post, as well as the literary figureskating thingee. Not sure when I'll get around to them yet.
