Philosophical conversation...

[matgb]

Tee hee:

nadriel: I love arguing with philosophers, you can't lose.

matgb: Well, you can lose.

Pause

nadriel: You bastard.

matgb: Some of us aren't playing.

Those confused by this conversation will find a link in my sidebar called "don't click this". It's been there for awhile now. harlotqueen provided the url for me, very useful.

Also, despite being fully networked and connected via Mike's ADSL line, my dial up box pops up randomly. Especially true when streaming via youtube and similar, very annoying. OTOH, I now understand all the fuss surrounding Olberman and Colbert, very very cool.

Firefox 2.0 RC1 has been DLd, it has some good bits, some bad bits, and it's disabled all my favourite extensions, which will annoy when I get home, may go back to 1.5 for a bit. Not keen on the close tab red x now being in each tab, that's four years of mouse habits needing retraining there. Ah well, someone'll do an extension to change it within a few days of release as always.

You know of The Game, therefore you are playing The Game. If you were not playing, you could not take enjoyment in making someone else lose.

[matgb]

That's your interpretation of the rules. I merely spectate on the lunacy of others, if'n you want to declare me a player, go for it, but I'd only be playing according to your interpretation.

Irrelevent, anyway. Mike woke up, checked his LJ, and swore at me, so the correct result was acheived...

Losing usually makes me laugh nowadays. And I've not been doing it as much either recently. I think it's because Mark doesn't lose very often, and I've not been talking to Pink on msn. Which helps.

I think, essentially, the game runs its course after a few years of people "taking it seriously", thenyou get bored, move on, and "win", until some bastard brings up the topic again...

I don't think it even lasted a year with me. Now I just laugh when I see taramasalata.

Can you see my latest post Flash? I fee; like I've turned invisible and am highly depressed at being ignored:(

[matgb]

As stated there, not ignoring you, something weird going on. You were, in fact, invisible, very weird :-(

Gerbil? Thou confuseth me sirrah. It's working for the council that does it, right? Does strange things to the brain.
