Yeah you've been taking it pretty hard today. haha. I wasn't aware that we supposed to skip you, but whoever was probably just forgot. If thats the case, sorry for all the flak everyone gave you.

I owe you an apology...so here it is. I'm sorry I maligned you. I didn't see the post you're referring to.

VF, I don't really wish to argue about it point by point. Just understand that shortening the draft because it is taking too long thanks to a few bad apples hurts it for those of us who are picking swiftly and having fun as those bad apples do in taking a long time. I generally feel the last half of the picks is where the drafts really get creative because some of the early stuff is just too obvious.

I'm not defending the bad apples, I'm all for throwing them out if need be. But there is a difference in those few repeat offenders and say waiting until the end of your work day or getting to sleep in on a Sunday morning and not getting some heat for it because someone can't wait their turn.

That is all. Peace.

Cruises

Ultimate relaxation, travelling, unlimited food... all that good stuff

Winter

One of my favorite seasons of all time, winter clothes, snow, cold weather..

 

[SacKings7]

Love was taken by Jespher in Round 2. Pick again

 

[kingsnation]

G3 said yesterday to continue with the draft after Larry89, sooo Kings Faithful - you are up. PM sent.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Guitars

In a few years, when I'm a little better at playing and I have a little more cash to throw around, I'm going to buy a PRS Custom 24... my dream guitar. Though, I'm really torn between a blue or a green color! What do you guys think?

In that regard, we're in complete and total agreement. If I've come off too grumpy I apologize to all concerned.

The blue is absolutely gorgeous.

The first pic isn't working. So the blue one.

 

[Kings Faithful]

Yeah, it was working at first but not now.. I'll get a new one!

 

[Kings Faithful]

Its working now! Its a better pic than the first one I had too.

 

[kingsnation]

Ooooh. I like.

Okay, hopefully everything has settled down in my absence. Details always need to be worked out, of course, but I hate when these discussions interfere with the thread itself -- as both participant and observer, I've found that nothing kills voter interest in one of these drafts more than wordy bickering over rules and judgments.

Also, thanks for moving on without me. My late pick coming...

 

[GoGoGadget]

Though I'm relatively certain this will cost me at least one person's vote, can't go any longer without giving a little love to one of my passions, and the field to which I have dedicated the last (and next) few years of my life.

Modern Art -- Yep. All of it. This is an unabashedly huge selection, almost to the point that I feel guilty about it, because it contains more than a century of artistic works, but... I can live with that. Additionally, since I have been a stickler in making sure that all picks are easily defined and quantifiable, I'll be going with the definition of Modern Art as provided by Wikipedia -- 1860s through 1970s, and including the listed movements.

my favorite tv show of all time

the king of queens (complete set)

 

[Bricklayer]

Alright, life interfered there for a bit, but I am back. Think I owe this one a pick or two, the misery one at least three, and my writeup for the movie draft.

We were wondering if some hot young actress needed a lawyer in a pinch or something....

 

[Bricklayer]

Boom!

Strategy Games (computer) -- I was initially going to call this pick "God Games", but not wanting to artifically limit myself, decided to go with the more generic "Strategy Games" to pick up all the stragglers. Anything where I am in complete control as the high muckity muck. 4x games, Simcity type games, sports sims (not twitches, GMing and such) hell, I'll even throw in RTSes, although the "S" in RTS is a joke. Know that somebody took "video games" or some such early, but am assuming that they were working the opposite twitch end of the spectrum. They can work their thumbs, I prefer to work my brain.

 

[SLAB]

Nitrous Oxide, aka Happy Gas.
Of course this is the safe kind the dentist gives you.

With Hemp and Alcohol already gone Im going to need something to enjoy and alter my reality.
This stuff actually makes the dentist seem enjoyable as half the time the dentist gives it to me I think Im in a video game whilst my teeth get drilled.

Love the pick. It got to a point where I had uninstall my civ game because I wasting too much time playing it.

P.S. Brick if you wanted a really challenging game try

 

[Bricklayer]

Well anything that is subtitled "Strategy & WORLD DOMINATION" works for me.

P.S. Um..as an aside, you might want to be careful of leading off your posts "Love the prick".

If you point it out he'll edit, which would take away my giggly fun.

No I have not, but it must be tough -- even the Somalis have tanks.

I does make it tough. There is over 200 countries to choose from. You can even pick countries as small as Burundi.

Ah, so something like Europa Universalis?

 

[Jespher]

With my 12th pick, I select:

Trampolines

So simple, yet so fun. You can do tricks, jump with friends, jump for exercise, bouce off your beer buzz, or just blow off some steam. We take our 2 year old to an open gymnastics play time, and they have a huge foam pit with a trampoline underneath that he can play in for hours on end. I love trampolines, the bigger, the better!
