Genius. That's just pure comic genius, which couldn't be written by a pro!

Joba's making progress. Will he start next time out? That's what is being said by the media, but I think we need to give him a few more games yet.

Of course, if we lose many more starters, I think that we'll either be calling up a lot more of the farm system or we'll be making silly trades to try and stay marginally sunk.

We missed the first half, due to the cricket match, which we lost. Can't win them all, I suppose.

It really would have made me so sad to see John Terry score, infliciting years of hurt upon Cristiano Ronaldo </sarcasm>

That's almost as bad as Dream-of-Duke telling me that Leeds didn't breack any rules, so they should have been automatically promoted to the Championship :P

I'm a Villain. We're not going down any time soon. Too many clubs from London in the Prem, if you ask me. Also, there's far too much money in the Prem as well.

Different sub-text that we were on, obviously. We had the discussion about NCIS and my frinds who look like certain characters. This was the discussion about how I was suddenly closing in on one Dream-of-Duke and that he is my next target.

Yeah, but then it's far less of a parody quote of Star Wars (Run, Luke... Run!) or Forrest Gump (Run, Forrest, Run!), eh?

That dude is my favourite Futurama character. I was pleased as punch to see him welcoming folks to Leela's wedding in Bender's Big Score.

I think that in BBS, they decided to try and fit as many characters into it as possible - possibly just to keep Billy West's voice in tune. Still, I liked the new characters they introduced.

Having Diesel bills going up past £1.25 per litre, so around £5.50 per gallon is ridiculous. If I bought the bike and used it regularly, I can save about £350 - £400 per year, which can be better employed on other activities.

Butchers are more subtle than builders. We tend to indicate to each other than there is a nice looking lady around. Backslang is a verbal language, so breasts becomes "T-Serbs", which is how we pronounce it, rather than being bothered about the spelling. Something to do with spelling breast backwards, then adding the s for pluralisation.

Victoria Day has something to do with Queen Vic, but I can't imagine why it's not a holiday celebrated in the UK - obsure parts of Scotland notwithstanding, as it's predominantly a Canuck National Holiday.

Victoria Day is the marks one of the most important weekends for Canada. Namely, the May 2-4. The weekend to get drunk with 2-4's and light fireworks.

Aside from the whole problematic population issue, there are certain members who have planned and had offspring. Didn't Denvish have 3 in his happy horde now? And isn't D0GMA a parent as well?

Plus it's only a matter of time before Tom goes that way :P

Huh? I thought she stopped at 72,000 for awhile, not 70,000. I was just thinking of that while replying to Bahamut.

It just seemed logical, as accoring to the B/P ranks 51+ list, she was the first to 70k B/P, followed by MPA, I think. Seems silly to remember someone else stopping at 70k B/P for any reason.

Oh, hi Bahamut :P

Okay.

Victoria Day sounds like some sort of holiday named after England's Queen Victoria.

Victoria Day has something to do with Queen Vic, but I can't imagine why it's not a holiday celebrated in the UK - obsure parts of Scotland notwithstanding, as it's predominantly a Canuck National Holiday.

Yes, they do all watch NCIS. That's why Steve gets peeved at me for calling him Gibbs :P

Yeah, but Clock day means that I can make a sizeable cushion in time for the potential return. I can't do anything to change the Yankees' form, but I can certainly keep my B/Ping averages as high as possible, while he's AWOL. It's only common sense.

Well, the Saves list is updating on a daily basis now, so I'm taking it as written that the other lists will follow suit.

Exactly my point. Newgrounds seems like it's getting close to running at peak efficiency, after the redesign, with what would seem like the majority of the bugs worked out of the system, so it's all good :)

I'm a little far from that to even make those users significant to me for the time being. I'm closing in on the top 250, so that's always good news... AnzRage is 1 deposit behind GreenGiant99 and I'm a further 2 deposits behind AnzRage, so it's only a matter of time and a matter of how much GreenGiant wants to stay at rank #250. That's where he was on iscrulz' latest update.

Well, they're tied right now, not sure if one of 'em didn't deposit yet, but... hmmm... good luck with that top 250 cracking, man.

Seems that GreenGiant doesn't want to surrender his position #250, so he'll deposit until he passes someone, then will allow AnzRage past, shortly follwoed by the same practice for me. I'll get there eventually. *Watches everyone in the top 250 Experience deposit daily, cries*

I believe that would be the Saves update, planned for this Friday / Saturday. Bahamut has tested the system for the B/Pers update. How many lists does that mean that we're running between us now, Big B?

But calling them 'meat patties' makes them sound a little bit like burgers, which is so wrong. They have to be cooked in the rich west country sauce, to keep them moist and flavoursome.

Possibly against the grain of mainstream Newgroundsology. Yes, that's right, I'm a Newgroundsologist!

Was he saying not to try and take down folks above you, because you should honour the strong instead?

The Lord works in mysterious ways. People interpret his words differently, they must make their own decisions and live accordingly.

Okay, I didn't learn even 1% of what I was asking in my last reply... from your reply. I'll hope for a better answer from Wylo when he finally gets around to scanning through here pre-the-next-update. #;-}>

I think that Wylo was saying that I should not pick on the older (and supposedly stronger) users than me, due to the facts that they no longer spend as much time as they used to on NG.

Well, if someone's above you on NG but is entirely idle because they've either left the site or stopped gaining that specific stat... they count as the weak in that one category, not the strong, for the time that they're idle. Though HOW weak, I suppose, can only be quantified in terms of how many people pass them per however much time elapsing.

So what you're saying is that while life, for example has stopped B/Ping, because he wanted to remain at the nirvana of 15,000 Blams and 15,000 Saves, thus technically making him weak in those two stats, as his nett gain over the last 4 months is 0, he is still a strong depositer, as he rarely misses in that aspect.

Yes, we all have our strong and weak suits on teh NG.

Basically, while they may have been strong at one point, they need to be treated as a 'venerable old relative', who was once strong, as their trophies may show, but now no longer is as strong as during the glory days. We, as the younger generation, honour their memories while putting their teachings to good use.

For instance, even though I'm gaining saves... I'm actually STRONGER in blams. Because even though I haven't gained a single blam since October 10th, 2005.... I'm nowhere near falling off the top 50 in blams... but in saves, even with my move upwards from 24k to 36k... I'm probably gonna get kicked out of the top 50 by the time I get there. #;-}>

As with your Blams score, you ahve a large trophy for it, but now, you are not so strong, as many of us are feeling the pinch in this region. You are still reasonably strong in Saves, but remain paragon in Experience gains and therefore Voting Power.

And of course... VP is my strongest suit... then exp.

i.e. if you're gonna retire in something and still wanna be seen as strong and legendary... better set your retirement stat HIGH AS HELL. #;-}>

Retirement, what is that strange word, you use? Pensions are for the weak, I shall be working until they carry me out of my [insert occupational location here] in a box!

Yes, I know you're not familiar with the concept, Satan love ya. #;-}>

Seriously, is that all I've got for the list this morning?

Oh well - some Coop related news then.

I went into Halfords (Car parts & Bike shop) on Thursday to purchase a brand new bike, which was on offer from £300.00 down to £149.99. There was one on display as I walked into the shop and another as I walked into the bike section. I asked the lad behind the counter if I could have one of them. He said he would go and check that they had some in stock.

When he returned, he said that they hadn't got any left. When would they be getting more? I enquired, to be told that they wouldn't be getting any at all, as the model was being discontinued. Can they sell me one of the display models? No, they have to be sent back to Head Office, was his astonishing reply. He took my phone number and said that he would call me back on Friday to advise if any stores in the area had one and that he could get it delivered to me.

I went home and decided to look online, for a bike like this is too good an opportunity to pass on. I found the bike and all of the stuff that I was after and proceeded to the checkout. Would I like to pay for home delivery (+£20.00) or collect it from a local store? I decided to see which local stores had the bike in question. My local store which I was in not half an hour ago apparently had the stock, so I ordered collection from there, website told me "please leave 1 hour for our staff to prepare your order, before attempting collection." That meant collection on Friday, which wasn't so bad.

Then the same guy who had served me at Halfords phoned, only to give me a rant, advising me of how not to use the internet, because its stock levels were wrong and how 'not to go behind my back'. As you can understand, this really raised my hackles. It got worse when I didn't receive a call all day from them, letting me know if they had or indeed had not got the bike.

Saturday morning and I ordered the bike again online (Through my mother, because we're being devious now) and we went to the store to collect. I went to the car parts and looked around, while my mum went up to collect. She nodded to me that the bike was there and they were fetching it out, so up I went to grab the rest of the stuff, which I calmly collected and brought to the desk as well, but we were acting as separate customers.

"Is that the Shockwave XT920?" I calmly asked, pointing to the bike in a box, which clearly said "Shockwave XT920" all over it. Got any more left? Then the guy looked up and recognised his worst nightmare - me, without my merchandise, despite the fact that his colleague was willing to sell it to someone else.

"That's the last one, I'm afraid." He didn't try to defend, which is always a bad policy in front of a pissed off Coop. "Then you must have forgotten to call me to say if you'd got one in stock yesterday, considering that you said that you would phone the local stores and try to find one for me." His colleague was a little short on cards in the deck, so he waded in as well "It was Neil's day off, so he couldn't have. It was my responsibility to, so I'm sorry that I didn't, sir." At least I was getting respect, so they were admitting guilt.

"Funny, considering that the exact words from Neil, over here were "I'll phone to local stores tomorrow and I'll let you know before we close the shop if I've managed to find one." Not one mention of a day off and that he'll get a colleague to sort it. Nice try, sunshine. Where's my bike?" Mum was biting her tongue at this point.

The pair floundered helplessly and I was trying my best to stay calm over it all, as I knew the joke. "We can phone all the local stores and let you know if they've got one for you, sir." I told them that since I wasn't convinced that they would call me for starters and that I hadn't made plans, they could do that now, but not to let this detract from serving this lady, who I was sorry to have kept waiting. Mum duly paid and was assisted in loading the bike in a box into the back of the car, while I waitied and granted a steely gaze to Neil, as he phoned as many stores as he could, in a desperate search for the bike. He found one and told me that it wouldn't be in the store until Wednesday. I said "I'll just have the gear for now, placing my basket of helmet, mudguards, gloves etc on the desk, which he served me. He tried to charge me for the bike, which I declined, as I wouldn't be paying for the bike until I had received it at the store.

When I had paid for the goods, I turned to find that Mum had returned for the punchline. "Oh, by the way Gents, I've already got one, so don't worry about the bike. Mum managed to find me one." Neil started to snarl something and I walked back over to him "Pick your words carefully, as I'm going to write this all down and send a letter to head office, Neil." He swallowed his pride and calmly answered "Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?" I turned and waled out, confident that he had been humbled.

Don't get mad, get even.
