Hah! I'm working at home this morning because I have this Mock Amazing Race thing this afternoon with our sales reps who are in town for the National Sales Meeting. Anyway, I just had to use my yahoo email to send a message to my boss's boss (she's the one who won't promote me) and forgot to take the BSG quote off the bottom. Oops?

For the record: "You're born, you live, and you die. There are no do-overs, no second chances to make things right if you frak 'em up the first time. Not in this life anyway. Like I said, you make your choices and you live with them. And in end you are those choices."

Haha. That's so awesome.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Bugger. I ordered BSG: Exodus from Amazon, with a promised release date of... well, about now. They've now advised me not to expect it before the end of March. This... This displeases me. This is my KHAAAAAN!! moment.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

BSG

On account of my very delicate self being opposed to landing in the Brig, I will play Y2, Y3, R1.

Current total: -9. Helo, I think it's worth playing big here. If you can make a strong showing, I should be able to finish it, even with sabotage from Starbuck.

Good work, soldier. I believe the tally's back to 0. Let's see what Starbot has up her sleeve.

Edit: Chief, I think at this stage you can stay out of it. I'm over my hand limit already, so my cards are more expendable than yours.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

Gads this is like the third time I've had trouble keeping track of my cards. I have a different amount of cards written down than the summary for the last round says. Awaiting GM help.

eta: apology... sorry for holding up the game yet again.

eeta: cos insent.

I'm not surprised, with the number of cards you've been pilfering from my crew. And Baltar.

I'm in a Pegasus game at the moment with Ellen Tigh. She has an ability that lets her pass off one of her cards to another player, then draw two extra cards. Trying to keep track of everyone's hand becomes a nightmare.

...Not that I would ever do that, of course. Your secrets are safe. Carry on.
