I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Though I am half-naked.

Make the goils crazy, P-C. That molten-bronze shirtless heat, with those abdomnial accents...

You posted that on purpose, right?

'Fess up!

Gus's clocks are still cuckoo. Third time's the charm?

t Does arithmetic. Wonders if dcp has gotten all the timezone news

Ok. I count on my fingers. It is not even 20:30, board time.

I think one (perhaps both) of us have stayed up too late. I'm gonna get some sleep, if I can.

I taunt Gus with a fairwell emoticon:

Sorry, folks. Arithmetic boys have to do these things.

11:19:45 + 9 = 20:19:45. Is this less than 20:30:00?

In most worlds, yes.

Clock arithmetic:

Why did you add +9 to board time?

Board time was 11:19:45 pm PDT = 23:19:45 PDT Saturday

PDT+7 = GMT

23:19:45 PDT Saturday = 06:19:45 GMT Sunday = 07:19:45 Sunday morning Bern local time (GMT+1, as per your post #2444 in Natter).

A clock that turns 23:19:45 PDT into "not even 20:30" would have to be in, say, Samoa.

Aha! Gus, that sly dog, has escaped his staid Swiss employers and is secretly loafing on the beach!

More clock arithmetic.

OK, I look at the post where I said it was eight pm board time, and right above it, the post's timestamp saying it is 11. First drunken error.

It is around 5:30 PM here. In LA, it is around 8:30 AM. That is eight hours. Ah. Holy crap. Second drunken error.

23:19 is in fact greater than 20:30. I checked. Twice.

Third drunken error: arguing math with dcp.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

What were you drinking last night, Gus? Absinthe?

Too much uisge-bragh. I'm swearing off the stuff. Well, for a week or so. I recently made another arithimetic error here on the board (I forget where), and earlier this week miscalculated a tip (in the waiter's favor, luckily). I think my brain could use a little less pickling.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Took the opportunity to google around about Will Scarlet and learned a lot, leading me to think that Sawyer and he don't that much in common. Sawyer is a foil for Jack, as Will Scarlet was for Robin Hood, highlighting the attributes of leadership, but the similarities stop there. I don't believe we will soon see Sawyer and Jack closely allied, and that is a big element of the Robin and Will relationship.
