the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW

[Scarus]

It's interesting to me that some of you guys are so focused on getting the attention of our cute friend from Arkansas, yet you freely admit that it's a problem to come up with $20.

Nothing spells LOSER like not being able to spring for a $1.66 a month...lol

That's like half a gallon of gas......lol

[AndyDufresne]

Wahooot.....finally got my third win! Back above 900...for the time being...hehe.

I don't really mind the 4 game limit, I'd like to play more, but I've always been a fan of playing for free whenever possible. I'm known by my friends to always find the good games where it is possible to play for free, *and* still have fun. Hence me finding this here website first among my friends.

congrats andy!

And you see? We're getting freaken advertisments in our beloved thread...we must put an end to it....but how?

[rocksolid]

There's a difference between not being able to spring for $1.66 a month and being too cheap to do it. You see, cheap is the new thing - it's got this old-man cachet that exploits the elektra complex so epidemic in today's young things.

It's actually more an auto-restraint than anything else. I get little enough done as is, with 4 games. I'm supposed to be studying for exams. If I got premium, I might forget I was in school altogether.

P.s. Smith and Andy are neck-and-neck in number of posts. Who will pull away?

[AndyDufresne]

Jeez a post race? I don't think I can keep up with Smith...I tend to post more in the Foundry where my posts are more about comments and than speed...but perhaps I could try...like this here post...

this here, huh? I'm ashamed that you would use such wording! you're better than that, and you know it!

[AndyDufresne]

Your Southern dialect is infecting us all Cahoots! I've been strucken (hehe) with it here (hehe) already! Aghast! Eeep...No! I must...continue to attempt the fight...toxin spreading...

[areyouincahoots]

Oh, ha! Blame it on me...That does seem to be the trend now, doesn't it?

[areyouincahoots]

and at least you can admit it...

[Scarus]

Rock,

Your post reminds me of a post that I saw in the early days of C Club by a college student who said he had so many games going that he was having to skip classes to keep up with them.

Of course, my reply was that at least he had his priorities straight....lol

[max is gr8]

Or don't you mean h8...

It's true, I finally ended up regretting creating that thread just for the simple fact that it was getting him more of the only thing he ever wanted: attention.

On the other hand, I doubt ignoring him would work either. So, Mr. Scarus, I think you should go make yourself feel better and have a nice long rant in the "i h8 max is gr8" thread.

Sorry, I just couldn't help myself...

I don't care what anyone thinks honest so Scarus speak to you in the thread about me.

[SMITH197]

go away max

[Scarus]

I second that emotion.

Go away Max.

Just thought you guys might be interested in this. I've been very interested in the Duke stripper rape case ever since the dna tests all came back negative. It seems very odd that the DA would be going forward with the case. Now, it seems that photos taken are the party are going to make any type of conviction very, very, hard to get.....

Eyewitness News Looks at Party Photos By Steve Daniels
(04/18/06 -- DURHAM) - Eyewitness News and the ABC News law-and-justice unit are getting a chance to examine time-stamped photos taken inside the home on the night of the controversial Duke lacrosse party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The photos are believed to be authentic and taken by one of the students at the March 13 party. The time stamps on the photos appear to be accurate. Pictures of a wristwatch magnified for clarity correspond with the time on the photos. The players are sitting on three couches in a semicircle with the dancers in the middle.
11:02 p.m.: The first picture shows at least 10 students hanging out in a living room, apparently waiting for the dancers to arrive. Most of the students appear to be drinking. By the number of people in this photo, it appears only a fraction of the 47 lacrosse team members are there.

12 a.m.: This is the first picture of the strippers. Students are watching the show, but not grabbing or attempting to touch the women. Bruises are clearly visible on the legs and thighs of the alleged victim.

12:00:40 a.m.: Another picture taken 40 seconds later shows bruises on the accuser's knees. Her right knee appears to have an open cut.

12:03:57 p.m.: About four minutes after arriving, a picture shows the strippers leaving the room. The photo clearly shows that the alleged victim left behind one of her shoes.

Between 12:10 a.m. and 12:30 a.m.: No photos were taken between this time.

12:30:12 a.m.: The next photo shows the alleged victim on the back porch, carrying what appears to be her purse and a makeup bag. Her clothes are intact.

12:30:47 a.m.: A photo taken 30 seconds later shows the alleged victim on the porch and she appears to smile.

12:31:26 a.m.: But 30 seconds after that, a photo shows the alleged victim stumbling down the back steps of the house.

12:37:58 a.m.: A series of photos are taken, all showing the woman lying on her left side on the back porch, seemingly passed out or asleep. She had visible cuts on her legs and buttocks that did not appear in the previous photos.

The cuts may be from falling. The cuts on her buttocks line up with the edge of a screen door she may have hit on the way down.

12:41 a.m.: The final photo shows the accuser and the second dancer in a black car. The accuser is in the passengers seat.

Many of the photos taken on the back porch show pink splotches, which the defense says is undried nail polish. They claim the accuser was polishing her nails in the bathroom between 12:10 a.m. and 12:30 a.m. - - not being raped.

Scarus, I've been following that case as well, since it's in my backyard. I had heard about the pics, but hadn't read a detailed account like that of what they showed - thanks for posting.

I think the DA is just trying to make a name for himself with a high profile case. Everyone was SO quick to condemn the lacrosse players (w/o a shred of evidence), and make it into a racial issue; the DA probably feels that backing down now after all the hype might make him look bad. At least that's my take.

bruises on her legs
stripper's accusations false
lacrosse this summer

... I love haiku.

[wicked]

this is my favorite news quote from this morning:

"Defense attorneys say they have solid evidence that the two players charged were not at the party at the time the accuser says the rape occurred." [from wral.com]

[SMITH197]

yeah...i've followed it too...the fact that Seligmann was arrested is odd, as he wasn't even mentioned in the case or reports unitll he was arrested...

[Nobunaga]

... American news is a trip. I mean, college kids rape (maybe) a stripper, Tom Cruise wants to eat a placenta, and somebody somewhere saying Bush is the worst President ever. . . . yet again.

...

[wicked]

... Tom Cruise wants to eat a placenta
...

Oh that's disgusting. Tom has lost his mind.

p.s... Nob you forgot the news story about the LA woman who contracted Bubonic Plague! Surely that ranks up there as strange?
