Last movie seen

Well, yes, I did feel somewhat despondent with the prospect of leaving you on the sidelines...but rest assured not only will I be more than pleased to review it again in your presence, but also I will have forgotten most of the salient details so the re-showing should please the both of us equally...!

Simply...you do understand the persistence with which your grandmother seeks to exhibit her 3D television...and what was I to do once the popcorn was made...?

If Hell is real and sinners do end up in it, they suffer only as long as they sinned, and their suffering is only as great as their sins. Since no one has committed infinite sins, no ones burns in Hell eternally.

Every sinner who has ever lived atones eventually -- every sinner.

 That sounds more or less like the Catholic concept of Purgatory, though those who reject God even once they've seen him do get stuck in Hell forever.

Some think that no one would reject God in this case, and that even if they did, they would change their mind eventually. I disagree, though I can't offer any evidence either way.

 ...seemingly it could be imagined in such an instance as my own...for the manifold God that might seek to embrace this traveler must needs have more than a few chords missing from the top notes of harmony...and unlikely would be the scenario in which such a welcome might be returned in any case...

...at least, not on equal terms...and, at least, not with equal vigor...and, certainly, not without at the very least a suspicion of turpitude...

Negative One and TeamNegativeOne
Time

My two bits, if I may...seemingly is it possible that this Team Negative One account might exist upon a computer at their secret scanning hideout (whereby they might be busily scanning such prints as might be scannable), so that, should one among the members present wish to speak on their entire behalf, he might more easily make use of said station while all may yet be gathered nearby--perhaps eating an inordinate amount of pizza--where it might be expected that all may give consent with a nod of the head or, perhaps with a furrow of the brow denote dissent? 

Alternately, is it possible that said team is merely comprised of an individual with pronounced schizophrenic tendencies...?

I have enjoyed this thread immensely...thank you Danfun...although I seem to have a lot of catching up to do if I am to understand what it is for...

Seemingly we have now formulated teams? How might I now join this team my good Bunny Emperor? What then shall be our next move?

 Read at least the first couple pages of each of the following threads (in the given order):

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Negative-One-and-TeamNegativeOne/topic/17827/

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Join-Team-Ender/topic/17848/

You'll probably need to follow links in the first one to get an idea of the background behind it, since you haven't been out of Off Topic much, and especially not recently.

 Ah, thank you...

Bring Back Ric!

I disagree, though perhaps it is because I remain only in the off-topic area, seemingly the more activity this site elicits from its members the more excuse for participation. Particularly since this sock is an open secret it poses little likelihood of causing any real difficulty. It is simply a prop, not a tool for a troll...

I was just reading some posts I made soon after I joined the forum. I was very similar to me back then, but the way I write appears to have changed a fair bit. I wonder how much it and I will change in the next couple of years.

Based on the trend that my writing has taken so far, I fully expect to be writing like Post Praetorian by the time I'm twenty.... :P

 You poor fellow...ellipses and all, I suppose...I recall being scolded with regards to writing essays that I should put some effort into economizing my phraseology; every paper of any length had a common complaint of wordiness. Yet I seemingly cannot quite appreciate a statement unless it is fully described...

I cannot write often as the day is full...and I must log off before the security protocols are armed...but I feel I may be able to check in from time to time as opportunity allows!

Godspeed on escaping whichever ultramodern maximum security prison you're currently being held in. 

 Lol...it's simply that if I stay in my office too long the rest of the building gets armed and I cannot leave without a lot of noise!

The other day I wondered into a tiny local thrift store and sitting on a coffee table

Are you quite certain that the store owner might have approved of such behavior? So lost in wonder were you that you sat on their table...?

 Are you quite certain this language joke holds up?  I'm not sold.  "wondered into a tiny store and sitting" doesn't imply that he was the one sitting on the table.  The tenses are off.  THE TENSES ARE OFF MAN.

 Ah, but could not a mere comma set effect an appropriate remedy?

I wondered, and sitting, I saw?

Good to see you thinking it through though...hope not much happened while I was away...! ;-)

Well no one warned me there would be tests here. No one even gave me a study book. Or are you guys all like Yoda and like to be all creepy/weird/obscure/green-like?

 What is a true test if it might be pre-studied and pre-guessed? For is not a test, at its core, meant to discover? To illustrate? Yet were you to study what answer might you provide other than that you may discover what others might wish already for you to know?

Ball sacs and K-Swiss, need to make a pot roast, wish I had some green beans.  People who don't take showers need help

Help showering...?

and I have a really nice vacuum cleaner

Excellent: I have a very nice carpet...but, no that does not bring us closer does it...?

.  Don't forget to burn cd's of comic book covers to lay on the roof.

 Too many shrooms, my good man...too many...!
