Is it a sin to be guilty to be liking bushes?

When a certain "general procurator" charged me in front of this court for expressing my delight for bushes and shrubbery

And now we're growing in number...

Dear CR, have you seen what your hate created? A crawd of followers of the bush!

Thursday, I was leaving town at about noon for a camping trip. I dutifully did my turn early that morning, at the office, and was ready to send it. Just before I left, I sent it to Chez...or so I thought.

When I returned from the camping trip, I was surprised there wasn't a turn from Chez in the in-box. When I checked to make sure I had sent him the turn Thursday, I was dismayed to find that I hadn't. Then, when I came to the office this morning, I discovered that not only hadn't I sent the turn, I still had it open on the work computer and hadn't even clicked the "end turn" button.

What was I thinking? I am ashamed....

The key to this report is whether coworkers or legal aides happened by said computer to note what the esteemed Canoerebel was doing in lieu of billable hours. The witness has carefully omitted this important information from his so-called self report. I believe this may be a weak attempt to divert the court's attention from the true magnitude of the disaster by admitting only to the smallest part of the violation.

Oh com'on your honour! Those are just gramatical mistakes...and just because i was writing fast and without re-reading...

voodoing? isn't right? i meant casting vodoo spells
SUNBATHING
Eat fresh and juicy fruits sounds right to me...

This does hint at an explaination about GreyJoy's fetish for natural (that is naturally harry) significant others. If his GF were really a BF, Italian, and not into manscaping....

That wasn't it at all - I just liked the way you phrased it when read as it is literally written. There's nothing erotic or "double entendre" in my comments or in what you wrote.

And right well you should be too!

Actually it worked out great for me. It was a very welcome break from all the built up stress at work of late. And I dare say I did enjoy not having to worry about having a turn in the box or not. I did a lot of winter prep work in the yard and just lounged the rest of the time. I definitely enjoyed watching the second half of the Atlanta-Seattle football game... we almost pulled it out.

Break's over! Now that the weekend is gone, I'm looking forward to getting my butt kicked again.

Has it got an AAR page?

I can remember MANY a time Sir when we cranked out FIVE turns in a day and you were 'seemingly' at work!

Status: offline 		I have no willpower. If my opponent sends me one turn a week, I play one turn a week. If he sends me one a day, I play one a day. If he sends twelve a day, I play twelve a day. I can't control myself! The best way I've found to help myself remain sane at work and at home is to allow myself to play just one game at a time, and then to hope I have an opponent who has more willpowere - or a tighter schedule - than I do.

If I were to take on John III, Miller and Q-Ball (assuming he was interested in AE again) at the same time, I would be playing 27 turns a day. My wife would shoot me, but not until I had lost my job, alienated my children, and found myself living in a tent using a laptop powered by a generator that had only one day's supply of fuel remaining. I would be one sad little cookie.

Lesson: Stay away from John III, Miller, and Q-Ball if you wish to maintain any quality of life.
