[FONT=Calibri]No, see, that would actually be kind of cool. Sorry, dude. Besides, you spend more time acting like the other half. [CENTER][IMG]http://th04.deviantart.com/fs25/300W/f/2008/152/8/e/Perry_the_Platypus_by_DragonFirebender.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri][align=justify][INDENT]Gabriel’s job was not particularly enviable. Sure, he was self employed. Sure, he had built his own company—essentially—from the ground up. Sure he set his own hours—thirty minutes here, lunch with an associate there, a meeting with a very auspicious someone on Wendesday of this week—and generally approached his business with a very relaxed demeanor, and sure his salary rivaled most major CEOs, but even with all that to his credit Gabriel Yu was not going to be featured on the World’s Most Successful list in Time Magazine at any point in the future. Half of the reason was because his business wasn’t prominent in the public eye. He wasn’t a major film producer or team owner for professional sports, like the unbelievably popular NAFCAR circuit recently introduced after anti-grav vehicles were banned for anything except recreation; and he wasn’t head of a leading major law firm or a front-running tech industry. Most of his dealings took place well out of sight. And he kept it that way because of the other half of the reason he was relatively unknown: job hazards. Like getting your car bombed at two in the morning. Deal in information, and do it the right way, and you make powerful, generous friends with very deep pockets. But you will also make equally powerful enemies who might decide to reward your recent efforts by turning your Cadillac into a smoking pile of twisted metal, preferably with you inside. Gabriel had been warned about the trap beforehand, but only just, and so he had watched the STS become Chinese fireworks from several blocks away. He had dutifully mourned the poor street rat whose only fortune in life had lead to his death, but a minute was all he could spare before his attention was needed elsewhere again. But a car was somewhat essential to his business operation, and so he was left in need of new wheels. Finding his secret admirer wasn’t straightforward, but in a couple of days he had the names of the crew who had done the honors, and after that tracing the threads back had been a simple matter. And as it had turned out, his new friend was very loathe to suddenly become an enemy of the Bear General, and Gabriel was heavily compensated to ensure that no such thing need occur. Which left only this morning’s business to fully resolve the situation. And as it so happened, Gabriel had business in the area anyway. He drove by the restaurant a little slower than necessary and was rewarded with the dumbfounded stares of his car’s personal roadside assistance team from the other side of the diner’s window. Not that he blamed them; the vintage Aston Martin beneath him was worth more than ten times his previous car, and being a convertible only made the insult that much sexier. Besides, Cadillacs stood out as much as Faded Glory anymore. Anyone who thought they were someone had one, and Gabriel had had his eye on an upgrade for several years now. He circled back, parking the ’24 Volante across the street, and ambled casually across to the diner for a late breakfast with one of his collectors, sparing the flabbergasted men in the window booth a sidelong imperious smirk. After all, at this point why bother with subtlety?[/INDENT][/align][/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']Yes, but I fail to see how that has anything to do with my itchiness.:confused:[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I could explain, but I warn you fairly that the explanation involves a lot of small details. Suffice to say that you saying your back itched more the more you scratched it told me you had recently showered. If you want, though, I can go through the whole process.... Me ? black Kei ? white Bannister Cat (Stephanie) ? grey Lazy Cat (Gavin) ? . . . whatever, man. Tiny Cat ? a small color, with a white lab coat (she's a doctor)[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']My back won't stop itching... And scratching only makes it itchier!:animestun[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Did you recently shower?[/FONT]

[quote name='Rachmaninoff][FONT="Trebuchet MS"']I don't know if I should laugh or cringe over that mental image. o_O[/FONT][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Yes.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I wouldn't worry overmuch about it; this is the internet, after all, and if your post isn't rife with smilies dictating every nuance of your mannerisms then you apparently come off as an obnoxiously self-absorbed snob. (Personal experience.) Although I confess I do find the situation somewhat amusing because the other of the two had a similar issue with me not to long ago and we resolved it quite peacefully (I think) via PM without so much as a surface ripple. Thus I find the "childish" bit somewhat ironic....[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']Sorry about that... Old honey=Old food=Stale food=Stale Cheetos. Is that easier to understand?[/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I said correlate, not logic trace. :p[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]I am having difficulty correlating de-sweetened honey and stale cheetos.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Actually that's incorrect. While honey doesn't technically spoil, it is essentially a fluid super-saturated with dissolved sugar, and if you leave it sit too long the sugar will eventually crystallise out to level the balance, and after that the honey kind of tastes weird. And twinkies [I]do[/I] spoil. It just takes a while.[/FONT]

[quote name='chibi-master']But then again, would I still be able to comfortably enjoy it if it were as big as [U]Twilight[/U] or something? Sometimes books are like songs on a radio. You can love the song with all your might, but when it gets overplayed, more often than not, it loses its charm.[/quote] [font="Calibri"]I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy the works of Ian Fleming (and his capable successor John Gardner) despite the massive fan base of James Bond, and the recent movie with Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law has certainly not dimmed my love for Sherlock Holmes just yet. There is something decidedly off-putting about an almost mobbish mass enthusiasm for an artist or series, but I generally find that if it's good I tend not to be bothered too much, and if it's bad then it tends not to bother me too much in return.

[FONT=Calibri]The process of reinstallation isn't actually all that tedious. You just put in the disc, tell the boot program what to do, and it does it. The aggravating part comes when you don't know why it won't do what it's supposed to do. The tedious part comes from transferring 109.5 GB of data between computers so you can format the hard drive (i.e., wipe off [I]everything[/I]), transferring it [I]back[/I] once the format and OS install is done, and then reinstalling all the other programs you had on there that got purged because they weren't perishable and could be retrieved from somewhere else. You could probably do what I did without much issue. All you need to do is ask when you don't have answers and then remember the answers later. :p[/FONT]

[quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']New hard-drive/computer ?[/SIZE][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Hard format of the old one and OS reinstall. Then all the lovely stuff I mentioned above.[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]Reinstalling everything on your computer is a touch aggravating. Slightly less aggravating but no less time consuming is trying to remember all your old bookmarks and finding them again.[/FONT]

[quote name='Gavin][size=1']One of these days I must really sit down and watch a full game of American football, all the stopping makes it damn near impossible to get into after years of rugby.[/size][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]I say, old chap! [CENTER][IMG]http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z158/Allamorph/Misc/conandoyle.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] (Although really we should call it handegg.) [CENTER][IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_APjgPmP_12w/SZEkmZuG1CI/AAAAAAAAEc0/mZzSuIDvRR0/Handegg_thumb4.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [quote name='Lunox][font=trebuchet ms']I never really got into football, which I am sorta sad over because it seems fun. I still have tennis, though :)[/font][/quote] It's a load more fun when it's not constantly being interrupted by commercials and booth reviews. Mainly the booth reviews, which take up the better part of twenty minutes just to say "yeah, we got it right" every other play. Probably would have rooted for the Colts except I can't stand how they half-*** the entire first half of the regular season and then go OH RIGHT PLAYOFFS and start playing at their actual ability level. Great team, arguably the best in the league, but I just can't stand the mindset they seem to have. [B]Edit:[/B] Incidentally, most of us can tell if you never got into football without you actually saying you never got into football. It's also perfectly fine if you never got into football. Those of us who do will go "okay, cool" and let it go. But when you tell us through mannerisms that you never got into football and then you tell us you never got into football explicitly, we kinda think you're being a turd. (^_^)[/FONT]

[FONT=Calibri]As opposed to a few years ago when fifteen out of the first twenty threads on the front page were opened by [COLOR="DarkRed"]Rachmaninoff[/COLOR] and most everything else was left unsaid or locked/deleted.
