footfootfoot ftw!

jimhelm 01-24-2012 11:26 AM

I don't care if you take the points, foot. I just don't like you calling Joe Pa a pedo. that's just wrongwrongwrong

and the nanny nanny boo boo reaction to being questioned about the ethics of the cheap points you're grabbing disappoint me as well. for shame shame shame.

it's like icing a kicker. legal, but shitty.

I hope you're happy.



tell me to eat you.

monster 01-24-2012 11:29 AM

Listen, gang, it's not my game, it's not my fault and it's not worth trashing a silly amusing thread over. Couldn't we just leave it to f3 to decide whether he want to take the points or not in light of people's feeling on whether his approach was clever and/or morally indefensible. f3, I suspect you'd be complaining as loudly as anyone if a politician had done something similar to you. Maybe you should run for office, but that's a matter for a different forum. Karma will decide in the end :)

footfootfoot 01-24-2012 11:48 AM

Jesus you guys. Since when has anyone taken anything I write on these boards seriously?

I don't even know what icing a kicker is anyway Jim, so definitely eat me.

And maybe Joe wasn't a pedo but he didn't work too hard to out the shower jockey, again, I don't follow the news or football.

jimhelm 01-24-2012 11:58 AM

umf. thought i had waited long enough for it to be decided before i laid the guilt down.

i really dont care... it's just a stoopit game. was just trying to make foot uncomfortable.

not everybody.

infinite monkey 01-24-2012 12:17 PM

Hoo cares?

I thought Etta was pushing it, for what it's worth. But hoo fucking cares?

But let's not joke about it, ffs. :yawn:

Except for: everyone gets a trophy anyway, just for getting out of the car, right? I think it's nice to let others know what it's like to recieve all those awards they didn't get in school. Bless their wittle hearts. :lol:

footfootfoot 01-24-2012 12:55 PM

OK, so I think we are all in agreement that I get the points, right?

:bolt:

infinite monkey 01-24-2012 12:58 PM

I sold all my dead people to give you points
And you sold all your points to give me dead people.

Okay, I'm not serious about this game.
It's a little piece of fun.
And on the Cellar we didn't specify rules; in fact I remember objecting to a late entry before and being over-ruled.

However.
We used to play at work, for money.
£1 in the pot (metaphorically speaking) winner on points won the pot.
One joker to be played every year (under 50 or Clive Dunn).
Lists fixed by 1st January no changes no substitutions.
The best year came to about £12 as I recall - high stakes indeed! No, I never won.

Now I know that is not how we play here.
But my knee-jerk reaction is still that if someone is working on information received after 01.01.12, then they have an unfair advantage.
Of course it's not for money, and not even for bragging rights on here.

So I let it go. Have at it.
I just wanted to explain my reaction.
It's like going to someone's house where you win money on No Parking in Monopoly.
What, wait? You do it that way?

classicman 01-24-2012 02:41 PM

Just give him a *** after his tabulations.

Ouch, that'll hurt !

Rhianne 01-24-2012 04:31 PM

I've told them to make sure it does.

infinite monkey 01-26-2012 09:29 AM

I'd like to make a motion to concede Joe Pa points to foot, and get on with the game.

Second, anyone?

So, what are the scores?

It's early in the year, and I have low hopes.

footfootfoot 01-26-2012 12:40 PM

You say that like all the carping and bitching weren't an integral part of the game, but was it my Adonis DNA or my Tiger Blood that finally swayed you?

infinite monkey 01-26-2012 12:47 PM

Carping and bitching are ALWAYS part of my game.

It's like we've just met. ;)

But I think it was your Carp DNA and your Bitch Blood that finally swayed me.

footfootfoot 01-26-2012 12:50 PM

That's because I'm

All Y'all might want to update your lists to include the exhausted nitrous huffer, Demi Moore.

This is an example of what I was talking about in a thread somewhere on the cellar about judging a woman's age. The hands never lie. A face that looks like it belongs on a 20 year old is betrayed by the hands.

Nirvana 01-26-2012 05:26 PM

So it was my hands you were looking at in RFN! :eyebrow:

infinite monkey 01-26-2012 06:20 PM

She's a very pretty woman, but so many pictures i see she looks so harsh. A lot of it I attribute to that stick straight chisled features look that is popular, but she doesn't pull it off well. IMHO. In the posted pic, her hair is straight but she looks 'softer.' That might be due to the lack of a ton of makeup and the harsh lights they use for those things. She needs to soften her hair a bit, soften her look. I think she'd look way younger that way, than she does in the celebrity hobnobbin' photos I've seen.

And anyway...whip its? Really? I tried them in HS. Laughed my ass off for a minute. It was fun. It seems a bit silly for someone her (our) age to be doing.

But that's just the story out there. Who really knows? I saw her when she started on General Hospital. I loved Jackie Templeton! She's the reason we all started wearing thin braided bands in our hair/across our foreheads. Jackie, and her sister Laura Templeton (Janine Turner). :)

And of course being from that generation I loved St Elmo's Fire!

I hope she pulls it together.

I think the new game is just listing people as they die so you're our new leader!

RIP Don Cornelius.

infinite monkey 02-01-2012 10:28 AM

So sad.

classicman 02-01-2012 10:35 AM

Is it too late to add him to my list? :bolt:

Nirvana 02-01-2012 11:42 AM

I wish him love peace and everlasting soul....

What better tribute? :)

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image
were ravaged by drug use, has died. She was 48.

Quote:

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and
the location of her death were unclear.

At her peak in the 1980s and '90s, Houston the golden girl of the music industry and one
of the world's best-selling artists.

Among her hits were "How Will I Know," "Saving All My Love for You" and "I Will Always
Love You." She won multiple Grammys including album and record of the year.

Her success carried her beyond music to movies like "The Bodyguard."

But by the end of her career, drug use took its toll as her record sales plummeted and her
voice became raspy and hoarse.

classicman 02-11-2012 08:19 PM

As far as I can see - UT is the only one with heron their list...

Undertoad 02-11-2012 08:42 PM

I'm so sorry for the rest of you that I have won this competition one month in.

Ain't no stopping the toad. I'm more shocked about Whitney than I was about Jackson.

wolf 02-11-2012 09:05 PM

Dayyam, but you people are fast. I just saw it when I turned on Judge Jeannine.

monster 02-11-2012 09:12 PM

...there are points at stake.....

lookout123 02-12-2012 12:20 AM

Is it wrong that when I saw this news blurb, I stopped what I was doing to check the celebrity death pool?

monster 02-12-2012 07:42 AM

So very, very wrong. But only because she wasn't on my list.

footfootfoot 02-17-2012 09:15 AM

She must revisit in order to claim her points.

footfootfoot 02-17-2012 12:29 PM

That would be such a perfect timing. The movie has just been released... Maybe the producers can talk her into it.

Sundae 02-25-2012 06:41 AM

I had Frank Carson in 2006, '07 and '08.
Four years later he finally karks it.

Shame.
