And seriously, why don't they start building houses that are designed so you can haul a couch upstairs without having an blood vessel explode in your brain?

Having worked in construction in a former life, I can tell you that when we are drawing up the blue prints we do our best to ensure getting a couch up them will be no easy task. It is kind of a conspiracy, but too silly of a one for anyone to get to worked up about.

My favorite house I worked on, a relatives place after my construction years had ended, had a stairway that made it impossible to get any large furniture into the basement. All big furniture had to be brought in through the basement window before it was installed. Now that the window has been installed and fixed in concrete, no new furniture is going in, and now old furniture is going out... in one piece, anyway.

It is a design the man who drew it up should be truly proud of.

Maybe the revolution should take place with the design of furniture and not houses.

I mean, how do you expect to have a contemporary prison without contemporary furniture?

Interestingly, I heard Xhonzi voice much the same way I do now before I ever even heard it. Upon first hearing him speak, I immediately thought to myself, "Wow, that guy sounds just like I expected him to sound."

Wow, that's kind of weird.  It reminds me of this guy at work.  Well, he's in LA and I'm in Boulder.  I talked to him on the phone for probably three months before meeting him in person.  I also have a mostly undeserved reputation as some kind of god around here (when someone asked me if I was a god, I said 'yes') and this guy was picking up on it and being very deferential to me.  Then I met him in person.  I'm already younger than most people I work with, but I also look younger than that.  This was a couple of years ago, so I suppose I looked like I was about 20, though I was actually 25 or 28- somewhere in there.  At any rate, he just immediately lost all respect for me.  He did a double take and then incredulously asked, "So... YOU are the great xhonzi?"  "Yeah," says me, " a little disappointing.  Isn't it?"  And he didn't know how to respond to that.  So he didn't.

I think he felt so manipulated over the whole thing that he ended up sort of stepping on me every time he got the chance.  Ah, well... that's office politics for you.

Well, back to being fed peeled grapes.

I even didn't noticed the fight (let's say I ignored it). I just steped in and followed brainlessly the flow of what I found to be funny pictures. And sorry to say, Bingo's post and video just matched exactly with my feeling of your position in this situation.

And I find your views on me and the way you present them insulting. At least you admit you only see things from a limited angle and have a tendency to ignore reality. You make slight jabs at me out of the blue all the time, and I usually just ignore them, so it is remarkable to hear you claim such a high level of innocence. I'd love to let everything go and leave it in the past, but every few weeks it seems to come up again.

 

But my thoughts and abilities for acting are currently dedicated to things that matter to me most.

Posting BS pictures and telling C3PX how very wrong he is? Wow, good priorities.

Sigh.  I woke up today to find that I had been invited as a guest on my favorite Dragon Ball podcast, for a website that I had followed since I was 14.  I spent the entire day buying a new headset, checking sound levels... and then my internet died for several hours.  So I just stood up the webmasters of two of the most popular and respected Dragon Ball websites.  FML doesn't even begin to cover it...

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Aww man, that really sucks Gaff. :(

Any chance they'll give you a rain check and have you on another time?

Wow Gaff, super cool, while super sucky. That's what they get for doing live podcasts?

Has he even been around since the ugly act?  Maybe it was some kind of parting shot.  Some ending joke.  A deathbed... well, not repentance but whatever the reverse of that is.

The "ugly act?" What happened?

I thought maybe it was to make me feel better for not being ignored (and thusly: excluded) by JT34.  But it's gone on plenty long now.

If it makes you feel any better, vfp has been ignoring my PMs.

Also, Ripplin ignored my post above.

Something happen with vfp? Or he just hasn't been around?

No one seems to know.  I've sent him a couple of PMs (last one early this month) but he's never read them.

Last thing I think that happened to him is that Leonardo put him at the bottom of the bottomless chasm.

Did that happen?  Last thing I remember is the second episode of the vfp show ending overnight and never resuming.  I need to go check Leo's thread, I don't remember him being in it...

This appears to be his last post.

Oh carp, that was a joke.  What the hell is wrong with my joke detector lately?
