I've decided to bail on the BBS for a while. I'm not sure how long I will be gone, but it will more than likely be a substantial amount of time. I thought I owed you guys this thread so that you would know that I am no longer planning on running the TPB league this August. I trust one of you guys will purchase the sim and run it well. If anyone needs webspace for hosting the league, just e-mail me and I will hook you up. I figure that's the least I could do after saying I'd definitely run a new league. Anyway, I'm no longer the A's in OOTP, nor am I the Jazz in FBB. The crash of OOTP sort of freed me up to make this decision. I'll check into chat every once in a while, but I'm definitely not going to be posting or reading the board much at all... I'll leave my e-mail on in case anyone needs to message me for any reason... I'll end this post with a quote... MARY: Well, it was nice meeting you, again. HEALY: Same here again. MARY: By the way, what's your name? HEALY: Pat Healy. MARY: Don't you want to know my name? HEALY: I already know it, Mary. MARY: How'd you know that? HEALY: It's right there on your golf bag. MARY: What are you doing with all these blueprints? HEALY: Some buildings I'm working on. MARY: Are you...an architect? HEALY: Well, just until I get my PGA Tour card. I'm kidding. Yeah, I guess you could call me an architect--it's just a job really, a way to keep me moving. My real passion is my hobby. MARY: What's that? HEALY: I work with r****ds. MARY: I beg your pardon? HEALY: You know...the guys who ride the short bus. MARY: Isn't that a little politically incorrect? HEALY: The hell with that. No one's gonna tell me who I can and can't work with. MARY: No, I mean HEALY: There's this one kid, we call him Mongo. He's got a forehead like a drive-in movie theater. He got out of his cage once and... MARY: He's in a cage?! HEALY: Well it's more of an enclosure really. MARY: They keep him confined? That's bull****! HEALY: That's what I said, so I went out and got him a leash you know, one of those clothesline runners for the backyard. He's got plenty of room out there to dig. The kid's really blossomed. Now I can take him to ball games, movies--you know, happy stuff. MARY: That sounds like fun. HEALY: Yeah, it's fun for them, but it's heaven for me. Those goofy bastards are just about the best thing I have in this crazy old world.
The board won't be the same without you, BGM. But here's to having a blast on your CluthCity sabatical. And, as an added bonus, the Wakefields, (of the al and nl variety) shall dedicate their first decisions to a certain musical laced mafia member.
