Holy ....!!!

GOD covered up for VPs sexual abuse???

Keeping quiet is better than putting a stop to it???

I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt before, but if you really believe that you are a certifiable lunatic.

Take your post and shove it.

Oh no!!!

Another "mike" post!!!

If Mike does one of his "mastering PFAL" posts and there's nobody around to read it, is it still irritating?

Carpe Cerevisi! Seize the Beer!

This whole "Mike" scenario reminds me so much of the stuff you see on sports message boards all the time.

Heck, I've even done it myself.

Last year when the Charlotte Hornets were trying to relocate to New Orleans, I posted a lot of stuff on a New Orleans message board. Junk like, "The Hornets will never move to New Orleans. There's nothing there but drunks and perverts and cross-dressers and hookers."

The New Orleans people would respond by calling Charlotte "Mayberry" saying it was full of rednecks and calling me "Goober." Most took it all in fun, but some got on their high horse to explain how wrong I was at length, pointing out facts and figures at length. I had to keep registering under different user names because they would ban me from the site.

Eventually the Hornets did move to New Orleans and they quit responding to me, except for the occasional "nyah nyah nyah." Then it wasn't any fun anymore because I couldn't get a rise out of anybody and get them riled up.

I think that's exactly what you have here.

This thread is stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

I DID question everything he taught, right from the start.

That's why I got out in '77.

The best thing about this year's Oscar show:

Whoever designed this see-through dress deserves some kind of award.

That's great news, AHAT.

Love your flying nun picture, Reverend Mother Excathedra.

ITS ALIVE!!!

It's flying piggy season!!!

Turn out the lights the party's over

They say that all good things must end

Call it a night the party's over

And tomorrow starts the same old thing again

excathie,

I think you might be on to something there.

Maybe in one of those extremely long posts, Mike will reveal that he really is VP and he's been hiding out in California all these years.

Not quite everybody has left yet.

I live in Charlotte now, but in another life I used to travel eastern NC as a sales rep. Abbott Labs was one of my biggest customers.

I spent a lot of time in Rocky Mount and it always seemed like a pretty nice place. Not too big, but big enough to have eveything you need.

If you're a sports fan, it's right up the road from Greenville, home of the East Carolina Pirates. Fortunately, the state hq of the way isn't there anymore.

Snap my eye patch, will ya?

Anybody want some pork ribs?

and a side order of wings?

It's going to take more than a "The" to kill this thread.

I'll take one of those beers, excathie.

Ha! When pigs fly!!

I don't believe that somebody who works hard to be the best they can be at a sport should be thought of as "worshipping a game."

By that definition, I guess these folks also "sold their soul:"

Tiger Woods

Michael Jordan

Venus & Serena Williams

Pete Sampras

Jerry Rice

Emmitt Smith

Lance Armstrong

Wayne Gretzky

Barry Bonds

Michelle Kwan

Annika Sorenstam

My favorite:

Happy birthday, Kit.

Thanks for all you do here.

Rose was my hero as a kid, but he definitely sold his soul to basball.

Huh?? What exactly does that mean?? He sold his soul so he could win the pennant like Joe Hardy in "Damn Yankees?" That's a silly statement.

Now if you want to say he "sold his soul" to gambling, you might have a point.

What's with all the big red letters?

Don't you know size doesn't really matter?
