American football dude is pissed over rating in game.

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Is that legit? Just looking at the name of who posted it.

If so, then somebody's bitter / egocentric / protesting too much / wasn't loved enough as a child / taking things far too seriously.

Game awareness of 59(% presumably) means he can't control his bladder? Hmm. Interesting assumption...

A psychiatrist would have a field day with that arrogant self-righteous brat.

It's a game. Some player is going to end up with the worst rating. Some players are going to end up with great ratings and actually turn out crap in reality. Anybody who's ever played CM knows that! :oops:

Love the picture captions, incidentally. He should be rated like... 3/100 just on the basis of those.
Grrr. Argh.

It seems like that's "The Onion" style content. Probably not actually that guy. But still quite funny.

Then you just lost the game.

And as a consequence, so did I.

But I never forgot about Dre.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Plus, he can't grow facial hair and has to compensate by making up a nickname for himself - The Red Beard. Something he will never have.

Side note: WTF is up with these log in request I get whenever I visit this topic?


So I was just at the campus Starbucks, and there was this guy with a THICK THICK English accent, talking abuut watching the UT-OSU American Football Game, and rattling off all kinds of play by play, terminology, and strategy.



Does this mean I kick to get him or something?


Because if not, I owe him an apology. :D

Might be something to do with the sudden absense of Guzzle Appreciation sig images as well...

Edit: a little investigation, and it appears that it has everything to do with the sudden absense of Guzzle Appreciation sig images, specifically mine. :(

Edit #2: a quick alteration of my sig, and the log in requests go away.

As does the last vestige of Guzzle's appreciation...

So, to continue into the vast uncharted waters of the Off Topic sea, exactly what caused that?

I mean, you two guys have had those sigs for a while, and nothing's happened yet.


And what the hell is Guzzle Appreciation, anyway? It's not about a Sparkabot, is it?

Not sure, but, given the convo I had with EmVee about them last month, they were in treacherous waters, which now seems to have swallowed them, taking them down to Davy Jones' Locker Room.

Which leads us nicely back on-topic by saying that it must have been The Red Beard's revenge for the pop I posted which started this questless voyage off in the first place.

That, my friend, is exactly what it is about.
