Hey Guys.. I'm Back.. What Did I Miss?

Happy New Year...

You missed some pretty good fake stories about Arizona.

How was your holidays Bob?

yeah - picked up a paper in an airport on Friday (maybe Saturday - can't recall) and saw that the football game didn't work out real well..

holidays were good, thanks for asking.. hectic at times but mostly very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks.

I heard it was pretty good.

I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies... not that I can recall anyway. I doubt I'll start watching them now.

what up, G.

Saw Star Wars.  They blew up the Death Star again.
Went to the Cotton Bowl and the grassy knoll.  People do stupid things there.
Same old turds with same old routines acting up on here.  Most of the board has put them on ignore.

How was your trip? Wherever you went.

I don't think I've ever seen the movie start to finish. I've probably seen the entire movie pieced together around 5-6 times, though.

I didn't even know we had an "ignore" function. I usually just don't pay attention to the people I choose to ignore. Not sure I would take it so far as to search out how to allow technology to do it for me.

trip was good, thanks for asking.. the travel in and of itself can sometimes be exhausting but it's hard to complain about it. Saw a lot of cool things, good family time, etc. As much fun as traveling can be, it's always nice to come home to East Lansing and spend quality time with my cat.

Would you like to talk about those nut jobs in Oregon? I don't want to rush you into these things though. Grab some coffee, check your old emails, do what you gotta do, then we'll get into it.

I saw that yesterday.. ultimately, it's nothing but a bunch of patriotic American gun-enthusiasts who simply want their country back from the evil government.

not at all to be confused with little unarmed black thugs who think they suddenly have rights just because a colored boy is in the White House.

The ignore function helps. I mean...how many times do you want to read repetitive bullshit?

You, of all people, should understand this.

but that's the thing.. if I don't want to read it, I don't read it.

So, you ignore it.

If you didn't want to accidentally read it, you could take further drastic measures.

The function is helpful. You can't deny that. You can't!

I suppose it depends on how much credence you lend something you accidentally read.. so I'll read something.. and then I see who posted it and I'm like "oh, that explains it" and I move on to the next post.

it's weird - I've never understood why people take things at an anonymous message board so personally and begin with the obscenity-filled rage via a torrent of typing.

but that's just me.

man, that's never fun. I'm a hot-natured dude anyway so, in general, the cooler the better. If I wanted to feel like some old guy wearing a cardigan and slippers, I'd move to Florida.

I don't understand why people have to be assholes, but apparently they do.

meh.. message boards are a microcosm of society.. hidden behind the veil of anonymity. You can't expect much, I guess.

If you could get started, that would be great.. Thanks.

I think you overestimated my capabilities.
