ATTN: Irons
3 levels is not nearly enough nesting of comments.

It might be worth noting that within the list of participants in another thread we come upon a certain “simon” Gao. ‘Tis regrettable that pro-choice politics have lead him down the stallmanist path, drunk on the devil’s buttermilk that flows from the wanton teat of larry the cow.

I went to some lengths to find a Woodford reference outside of IRC

‘Oddly, this is familiar.’ Of course, Thorn-hater, thou art seen is more flattering than nfpatrick[1][2].

I confess that in the beginning I was leery of being the sixth man[3] in Kafka’s ‘fellowship‘. I suspect my involvement in the game that was the community would not have amounted to much more than a .gif thumbing its nose at Mr. Marshall had not curiosity got the better of me that evening.

you two are soulmates

‘We met once on the meatserver’[4]

[1] but this usage originated with ray, which muddies the waters.

[2] (no disrespect meant to neo-freudian anthologies)

[3] polyvalence unintended.

[4] but then, I’ve never had anything to do with netgames. As you say, who plays mararthon?

from here on out i am an Adult, capital A.

I may never be an Adult, but I’ll strive to be an Alcoholic.

implied use of ubuntu

HAHA

I (we, I suppose, since Irons looked into it too) went to some lengths to find a Woodford reference outside of IRC, and it appears absolutely nowhere else (save for a brief mention on the metaserver, but, honestly, who plays Marathon?). It is also very ray to throw it in our faces while maintaining plausible deniability (via April Fools and a private correspondence respectively); this is in addition coupled with a variety of shared personality quirks and similarities along those lines. The only irreconcilable piece for me is that ESB has documentation of you playing Eternal — something the ray I know would never have done (again, who plays Marathon?). I mean, if you aren’t ray (and you are), then you really should take him aside and have a heart-to-heart; you two are soulmates.

I stand staunchly unconvinced.

(Too many parentheticals.)

If patrick is ray, then ray used/uses Ubuntu. That knowledge will lessen the sting, if it’s true.

re: woodford–my lasciviousness precludes the cultivation of clairvoyance, so I needs must resort to more conventional methods in the quest for information-cubed.

[1] I can’t confirm that the venerable was issuing a direct comment on the ‘patrick==pasco’ question, but it is nonetheless apt.

it was good

It was good for me, too.
