I'm not asking you to believe anything, Crypto. I just don't like watching you slag on people who are friends of mine. Fine, you've expressed your opinion of her, and so have I.

At least she doesn't go around slagging you on bbs.

Ok, I've been curious about this for a long time now...so I'm going to ask. Who is Joseph Pred, and why do people despise him so much?

Crypto, apparently Joseph Pred-ator treated you and your people well and you weren't around to see the side of him that I did. That's great 'cuz it's one less bad experience you've had.
But do you think that so many people hate him for no reason at all?
So many people, highly qualified and valuable people, worked for free for him and got treated like shit by that arrogant jerk. At the time I had to shut up and do nothing because he had an authority position.
When the event was ending I tried to find him... good thing I couldn't.

Pred-ator was the guy in charge of Ranger Medical. He's personally responsible for making it a miserable job to be a med ranger.

No, she works behind the scenes in nasty incidious ways, and smiles at her fans so they never know the mask of death behind her face.


And maybe now you have a little sense of what I suffer from when someone I have connections with gets roundly trashed by --- no forget about that, I don't deserve to have opinions that don't come from 3playa politburo.

Pred is in charge of his department and rather than be thankful that quality medical professionals volunteer their time and effort for free, he treats them like crap.
He's insulting, belittling and arrogant.

Apparently a lot of other people think so too, so I'm obviously not making this up.

Think about how much it pisses you off to hear this stuff about your friend; now multiply that feeling by ten and get to where I am from experiencing it first-hand.

I dunno if I'm the one who "isn't fit to push your chair"... if that's supposed to be me, well, I've been known to compete pushing outhouses in the snow at the Conconully Outhouse Races! My sister has MS and is in a wheelchair... I push that one just fine. I'd say my chair-pushing fitness can be well-documented.

well.. looks like you got what you wanted sed, didnt take much.

One thing this board is not is our personal club house. It is the "official" BM message board. Many people come here, lurk, and as it gets closer to 100 days, blow through like seagulls. They look for answers, they look for connections, they're excited, fearful, and they have real concerns. What I appreciate about this board is that people on the whole comport themselves reasonably well, the snark-effluent can run in rivulets at times, but that's to be expected in such a chaotic place. My point is that it is IMO a good thing that it's a nice place, with nice people, who play (mostly) nicely. Unless they piss someone off.

Ok, you Muthafukkas can go back to bashing each other about the face and head.

Oh, shit, a pet mouse, not just some random passers-by. That ultra sucks. I'm sorry you lost your pet. Perhaps it was ennui. What was the little dear's name? Are you going to make a shrine and put it in the Bar?

I like just taking over sed's here. Imagine, using the word Flaccid in mixed company. It's enough to make someone lose their...cool.

So it was a passer-by. Probably had enough of the stress of rat-gang life. Couldn't get a break in a world gone mad.

excerpt from "The Mouse Hitler Diaries"


I've recently returned home to North Idaho.
While away the old house was empty. No one here, the heat on 50, water turned off in case of deep freezing. It's nice to be back here. The air is clean and the ranch looks the same.
Well, we thought the house was empty.
Have you ever seen how high mice can jump?
They can shit on a shelf that is six feet off the ground. This house is like one of those carpeted cat ladder trails for mice. mouse turds in the sinks, beds, drawers, counters, on top of jars and everywhere.
Little Bastards!
I'M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU!
I WILL BE KNOWN AS "HITLER,...to the mouse kingdom" only I WILL WIN
RUN you little bastards or you WILL die.

..this little guy apparently didn't want to give me the satisfaction and ended it himself. Amazing.

i guess. despite my preference for individual empowerment free from the cult of personality, i guess i should whore myself and burningman out now. few others seem to give a fuck anymore, and most discussions have turned from brainstorming to blamestorming.
