It might not be as warm and toasty as sitting around the fire but...

Since I know how much some of you value being direct rather than talking behind people's backs, please use the comment feature in this entry to air any grievances you have against me or voice any ultra creepy misogynistic notions you have about how I conduct myself. They will be noted. Thanks.

P.S. Compliments are dandy as well.

I'm really curious as to what brought this on and next time I see you, I will probably bug you about it.

That being said I find you to be a very reliable person and a very good friend.

Maybe we should all get together and sit around a camp fire sometime soon...s'mores sound mighty good...

[i_gouge]

Thanks! All that and S'mores too. Give the word, and I'm in.

grievances

[tolerancia]

1) you don't swear enough

2) you don't hit people enough

3) you really should start drinking

4) you dress too warmly in the spring and summer months

5) you have little hands and big feet

6) you are too cryptic - you're so passive that you're not even passive aggressive. fling some fucking dirt!

7) you should roller blade

8) you never use cheats >:-/

Re: grievances

I completely agree with the first six. Seven makes me think you want me dead. As for eight, you've never seen me play NBA Jam.

And I'll concede that grindfest 16-bit action-RPGs are probably best enjoyed with a little assistance.

I watched you beat Contra, and we all know that there's only 1 way to beat Contra.

dandy compliments

[tolerancia]

1) you have good karma

2) you're not racist or sexist - surprising for being a white guy in SCS

3) you are good at video games

4) you are polite

5) you know a lot of history

6) you have nice friends

7) you can speak a foreign language

Re: dandy compliments

[i_gouge]

Thanks. I'd write something witty, but I'd rather just bask in this list for a while.

I disagree with number 6. Some of them are backstabbing assholes

Re: dandy compliments

[tolerancia]

which ones, exactly, because they will suffer a terrible fate.

due to #1, above, if you fuck with roney, you automatically get bad karma.

or you are handed a hearty serving of kenpo justice!

pshaw, i'm a wicked, nasty, evil bitch, and even i know that!

[nicour]

You've got a good heart and you're really funny.

[i_gouge]

Aw, thanks. Man, I didn't mean to turn this into the compliment fishing post. But it's much appreciated (and much needed).

[nicour]

Anytime! And besides, sometimes fish jump in boats whether there's a hook or not. I think it's pretty awesome, though, that you asked mostly for grievances and got mostly praise- you must be doing something right! (Or the people that have it in for you are chicken-shit. Maybe it's a bit of both.)

[i_gouge]

Give a man a way cool boat, and he'll eat for a lifetime.
And I think you hit the nail on the head with the last part.

[i_gouge]

We need to fix that. Oh, and Jon sent me one of your more recent songs, and I really dig it.
