@scott 😳<— your face when the Rumpswabs get you

@Iain I suspect Niki 😒

😱how casually you throw out accusations!

🙊 Wow Niki. I didn’t think she would turn to slandering her fellow mods so quickly. I mean other than Scott of course.

That's what I figured as well. She got caught up watching 6 mile and tried the rapping about your own failures route.

That starts to make it sound like a form of divination... like reading tea leaves...

......ummmm Scott... the movie is called 8 Mile.....

LOL

That's what I get for posting too early

Scott saw the prequel

I'm in the metro Detroit area. I was really confused as to if this was a reference to the movie 8 Mile.

Or maybe Scott just lacks endurance.

Veronica wins

I knew once Margret corrected my movie title somebody would use this joke, well done.

I give all credit to my caffeine high.

I'm solving world hunger next.

I hate giving away spoilers, but I figured I would save people some time and effort :).

Is it a true spoiler if everyone knows it?

Maybe in another world where there's things like a Charlie in the Box.

I'm really bad at trash talking, but I love reading this thread!

Yes Saar...although now the TrashBot has replicated and the nuanced comebacks are everywhere...

Further it is announced that
The badge for Team Segue of the Septuagenarians has been tragically lost in transit after Ringleader NotAlfred suffered from a sudden Malazan-induced H!tch of the Cøck, forgot to turn on his hearing aid, and brung a pair o' shoes instead of what the Jump Leader said. He lived a long and full life and will be sadly missed by all. In Memoriam please substitute with:

* Please read the following carnal official Terms and Conditions carefully:

@Margret...Ivan got all dressed up for yoooooooooou...isn't he seXXXy? His fingers are definitely faster than the late NotAlfred's too. He's serving the finest champagne xcuz (Varys') little birds told him the women in your family have such great abs and he sez you to bring your best cuckolding!
Let's see who begs for mercy kittens first.

@Niki don't worry, Ivan is really on our side. This is just psychological warfare. She means nothing to him. He gonna leave her all messed up and come back to us...

@Zaara is obviously Craf at uploading images...oh well, may this excellent, amiable, and most worthy thread be resuscitated regardless...
#wololo (nobody but Age of Empire geeks will get this)

I scanned the length of Zaara's War-and-Peace-esque post and took a nap.

It read like something Zaara would write ;)

Zaara.... ummmmm what? Hahaha

Shhh! No sudden movements, people.

Veronica wrote: "Shhh! No sudden movements, people."

LOL.

Margret wrote: "Zaara.... ummmmm what? Hahaha"

@Margret.....whaaaaaaaa....nothing? Not one zingy comeback abt how Ivan came to seduce but stayed to yearn? How you are the cause of his eternal torment? Cmon gal...you asked for medieval...I gave you medieval AND anatomical AND cheesy...I'm all.....
Psst, yeah Ivan 😻 can have that ummmmmmm effect ;-)

@Iain: Your heart's obviously not in this trash talking business xcuz for you, that was almost nice.
Also, the raspberry thing....😼

No worries Pappy! At your age accidental napping is almost a given...💤💤💤 now, was this lozenge a more manageable size?

Veronica wrote: "Shhh! No sudden movements, people."

@Ron...niiiiiice...dahlin' very good. I even felt the burn, O Empress of GIFs, which is more than the rest of this sorry lot were able to manage but unfortunately.....*bwaaaaaak* self goal!
Now Soldier, repeat after me, the pointy heel goes in the enemy....👠👠

Seriously?
Did I miss the daaaaank part where Walker Texas Ranger morphed into a 13 year old girl?

Ok I'm beginning to see what Oscar Wilde meant...

#slowlearnerbutstillalearner

So I went to this birthday party yest...why is it that just when you become a temporary cripple is when your social life wakes up and starts doing Nijinsky leaps all over the place?
Anyway let's just say I am not feeling very friendly towards people who make loud sounds or turn on the lights or...breathe loudly...

The tragic story of the love triangle between a klutz, a kitten and a couch...can be read here...abt halfway down the page.

Xcuz I ain't typing out that sh!t agn...not even to be polite...and now Abby...lemme go, I'm keeling over but I'm weak and can't resist replying to a post that directly addresses me and now youre attacking on multiple fronts in a pincer action (can you tell i'm reading a war story?) so you have to stop first...gnite.

One week into this (6.15AM CET) and the House of Chains have taken an early, but obviously well-deserved lead. HoC is the only team with three digit points. Are the rest of the teams already scared that they won't catch this well oiled reading machine?

Choko, Hacen and Bill lead the individual ranking.

Oh no you didn’t 😂

I'm imagining copious finger waving right now :D

The competition has really heat up... now the top 3 teams shift positions every couple minutes/hours as books are plugged in...

Case in Point, Blood Eagles jumped into first place last night breaking 700 points... and now we're in 3rd place again...

Iain watch now :)

Blood Eagles back on top!

We’re doin a lot of blood-eaglin’ over here!
How does it feel?

We are just waiting for you eagles to bleed out then we’ll jump back into first.

OH HELL NO YOU DIDNT

Now I'm just assuming..... I pretty much know who did it..


***SCOTTTTTTTT****

(yells at the gates of castle House of Chains, in the style of Achilles challenging Hector)

Blood Eagles and House of Satan are TIED at 1958.2 points each... let the trash talking COMMENCE!!!

not anymore.:P

Operation Sabotage commence!

We need to watch our backs :p

And your fronts... and sides... super vigilance... vigilance that makes you so tired you lose valuable reading time/points... MUHAHAHA...

@Iain How many points does Queen of Fire makes you said? :)))
I will be finishing too tonight.

656 pages = 6.6 + 3.3 + 1.7 = 11.6 (I was off my 0.1)

Hardly matters now that Laura just updated with 30+ points putting them at 1999.9 and CP is talking about adding her Deadhouse Gates DNF to hit 2000...

At least right now, House of Satan on the Team Scoreboard with Laura removed is 1666.3
