+Major Lee 18 Posted February 29, 2008 Lucky! But seriously, that's pretty cool. "Luck" has nothing to do with this... It's called work, and my employer came through with some bonus $$ because of a decent end to 2007... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longestpants 1 Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) "Luck" has nothing to do with this... It's called work, and my employer came through with some bonus $$ because of a decent end to 2007... I was making an (obscure) Napoleon Dynamite reference. 00:14 Edited February 29, 2008 by Longestpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Major Lee 18 Posted February 29, 2008 Is that the modern standard for "cool" for the youth of America these days ? This country is in serious trouble... Those boys need professional help... I see you are 14, YP. Why aren't you in school? I don't want any garbage about a "snow day", either... Read an encyclopedia or something. Please, do not try riding a bike today either... You might want to build a ramp or something; just don't do it. Napoleon Dynamite??? What a dud... Is that some kind of youth oriented movie or something? That boy is NOT a role model... He's what we older guys would call a "dork". bad. bad bad bad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Erik 1,812 Posted February 29, 2008 Well I beta tested carbon back in the d'izzay and I got it. Seriously though I don't think any offense was offered just congratulatory praise for the new gear. No need for a match that I can see. So let's and make up so we don't have to this thread and I don't have to . Thanks for the help guys. Erik Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Longestpants 1 Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Major Lee, It's not the standard of cool by any stretch. It's an example of a funny movie. If you would like to know why I'm not in school, perhaps you would have liked to try going to school with strep throat. The only reason I'm on CA at all is to try to take my mind off the rash; It's taken me five minutes to write this post, in fact. EDIT: Sorry, Erik, you posted while I was writing.

+Major Lee 18 Posted February 29, 2008 oh Erik, my post was entirely one of jest... and I have seen Napoleon Dynamite and have never laughed so hard. Most impressive is that was "clean" movie... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand the being ill this winter. I took a sickday form work yesterday and my wife took two days earlier this week. No offense meant, LP. My comments were offered in jest. I apologize if you were offended in anyway. and I do think ND was hilarious, just had not seen it in a very long time and did not recall the "lucky:" line. Get well soon.

Longestpants 1 Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) This is (one of the) problems with the internet. Aye, would seem thou'rt an scurvy dog yet with a passion for emoticons. Not so then. Besides, I get a little touchy when I'm sick. Edited February 29, 2008 by Longestpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides, I get a little touchy when I'm sick. Well, we have that in common; when I am sick I crawl into a proverbial cave and pull the rocks in behind me... It's better for innocent bystanders that way... I do hope you are feeling better soon. :yes: Edited February 29, 2008 by Major Lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
