Oh, Arky, how did you see right through me? How did that magical moment of my nakedness occur to you, even after several years in which we haven't communicated more than two posts a year?

Are you just that good? Is my heart an open book to you? As you lie in your hammock, watching the clouds pass over head, is my soul exposed to your keen, half-shut eyes?

Hey, since you're so good at this, why don't you explain Alistair's sense of honor in refusing to support the German Reich by welshing on the $1900 dollars he owes TPW. Do you already have a seven-step program for it? Or do you need to go back the hammock for more mediation until it reveals itself?

27540. PincherMartin - 7/1/2013 10:08:16 PM

Let me tell you something, Alistair.

It is worth every fucking penny of that $1900 I will pay to TPW just so I can enjoy this moment of watching you reveal yourself to everyone to be such a scummy, underhanded person. You really can't put a price tag on that. This is that "priceless" moment for me that you see in those famous Mastercard commercials.

If you had just run away and not posted here for a year, this day would not have been nearly as sweet. But for you to come back and defend your actions as honorable ... well, all I can say is to please let all my ideological enemies be like you.

Our bet showed definitively that you have no clue what you're talking about. You didn't come close on any of them. You not only missed the boat; you missed the whole fucking ocean.

Global environmental calamity; skyrocketing energy prices; the fall of the United States and the rise of Europe, peak oil, etc. - these are the silly kind of intellectual motifs that pop up in your conversation when you want to be taken seriously, and they completely failed you.

So I was already in pig heaven before you came in here and declared that you needed to do the honorable thing. That just flew me to the moon, Frank Sinatra style.

When I lose bets ... well, first, I do the dishonorable thing by paying up and then, second, I actually try to figure out why I missed the prediction. I believe it's important to be empirical.

When you lose bets ... well, first, you disappear and don't discuss the topics any longer with people who disagree with you and then, second, you puff up your chest and invoke honor as you break your word.

That's delicious, man. I'm fucking loving it. You couldn't have planned this day for me any better if you were my best friend and you'd bought me the best looking stripper in town for my bachelor party.

It's just that good.

27541. PincherMartin - 7/1/2013 10:13:23 PM

And on that high note of happiness, I bid you and this forum farewell.

27542. vonKreedon - 7/1/2013 10:55:04 PM

Oy Vey.

27543. iiibbb - 7/1/2013 11:10:52 PM

Transgenders are still people asshole. Bye.

27544. Ms. No - 7/2/2013 1:42:52 AM

AC,

Love your moving tale!

Earlier this month my mother came out to see me to help me with the Grand Purge. I was starting to worry that someone was going to start dropping off cats at my apartment.

Prior to her visit I was thinking I'd just start throwing stuff out the windows onto the back lawn for a bonfire.

27545. iiibbb - 7/2/2013 2:02:15 PM

PM's mama is so dumb she was at a stop sign for 3 hours waiting for it to say "go".

27546. iiibbb - 7/2/2013 2:03:16 PM

PM's mama is so ugly, it looks like her face caught on fire and they put it out with a fork.

27547. iiibbb - 7/2/2013 8:36:35 PM

PM's mamma's so dumb that before he was born her Dr. told her that there was a 9 in 10 chance that the baby would have special needs. She was so excited she bought six cribs.

27548. judithathome - 7/2/2013 9:28:20 PM

Hey, he's gone now and this is starting to look like piling on...don't deliberatly seek a lower level.

The dozens don't work if the object isn't there to hear and respond to them.

27549. vonKreedon - 7/2/2013 9:36:59 PM

Otherwise known as trolling.

27550. arkymalarky - 7/2/2013 10:54:02 PM

Aw y'all let 3i emjoy his your mama jokes. After the trail of crap the last few days your mama jokes are somehow refreshing.

27551. arkymalarky - 7/2/2013 10:59:27 PM

For the first st time in a long time I have a whole month of summer and I can't get past the mindset of not having enough time to do what I need to do. I feel like George Castanza--it's the summer of Arky.

27552. iiibbb - 7/2/2013 11:00:15 PM

Him hijacking a pro-LGBT meme to then transition to an all out forum attack over a welched bet... It is worthy of a 3 yo'mama salute.

I warned him not to let others write his eulogy.

27553. Ms. No - 7/3/2013 1:32:11 AM

Arky,

I'm right with you. What I need to do is make a list and then figure out what really needs to get done, what I want to get done and what I can let fall by the wayside if necessary.

27554. arkymalarky - 7/3/2013 4:19:19 AM

when I started posting on the mote however many years ago, I head an excellent schedule, if your definition of excellent is hardly any classes and hardly any students. I should have been paid part time for that year. It was also a time when the internet was still fairly new to the job and it was just always on always there. So it was so cool during my downtime to get online and check out what everybody was saying. Somewhere along the line I got super busy, and it seemed like I never had time to read and talk. And suddenly it seems like I've got plenty of time. Don't know how long it will last but it's fun for now.

I'm also enjoying a few minutes online, even though I don't have much time for it really.

I remember how my hours used to fly by, way back when I first discovered the internet, with that slow AOL connection! It took forever...

27556. arkymalarky - 7/5/2013 9:12:45 PM

Haha! The good old days of dialup. Living out here, what saved me was 3g and the smart phone. Even having satellite I almost exclusively use my droid for the note.

I'm glad you're making some time for us Trillium!

Which for some reason reminds me:
Where's Anomie! We missed you again!

27557. anomie - 7/6/2013 4:59:33 AM

I missed you too Arky. I'm still in financial recovery from the month long trip to the UK. It cost more than I planned for. Got back the first of June and put my credit card to rest for a while. Wait'll next year!

27558. arkymalarky - 7/6/2013 5:29:00 AM

Sounds like a plan!
