MBB: Midwest Conference

[The Roop]

It's justified. I had to put a family member of 11 years down today. Therefore I'm entitled to more than a reasonable amount tonight. So let it be written, so let it be done.

Prescott my Siamese, aka "Koblizeks Sir Avalon Prescott Cat" 8/1/95-11/1/06

The king is dead, long live the king.........................

[The Roop]

I get a -karma for that ??

I realize I've said a few off the wall things on here over the years, but who in their right mind could fault anyone for expressing their feelings in a situation like this ??

Fine.

Tickle us do we not laugh, prick us do we not bleed, wrong us shall we not revenge..................

The NRO may be a member short at the moment, but we will find you.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Roop,

If that was directed towards me, I can assure you I was NOT the source of negative karma.  I've lost cats at everywhere from 6 months to 18 years - it was always difficult.

+k to counteract whoever may have done that dirty deed!

[The Roop]

Ypsi you should know by now if I had an issue with you that it would be done in a pm

[Mr. Ypsi]

Ypsi you should know by now if I had an issue with you that it would be done in a pm

Or at least a haiku!!

Sorry to have momentarily doubted your Roopness!

(And I agree that non-bball disputes among regulars [at least!] are best handled off-line.)

[Pat Coleman]

Minus karma for this. Don't automatically assume that your latest post is the only one people haven't read.

And The Roop spake..........................

What gives is the fact that pre-season polls don't really mean anything. Once "Americas Team", Beloit College, cuts down the nets in Salem at the end of the season you will know what these current polls were worth.

Here endeth the lesson.

Plus I thought we had to get you down to zero anyway.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Aw, Pat, he was OBVIOUSLY kidding, which is why I responded the way I did.

On the other hand, you raise a good point - have I potentially tipped the earth off its axis by giving him positive karma when he was already in positive territory?  Is the world doomed if Roop does not return to zero?  Could the Press Secretary for the NRO please respond in time to save life as we know it?!

[gobucs]

a haiku in honor or Prescott:

His memory lives
Cat heaven is now his throne
Sir Prescott's stone cold

[Gregory Sager]

Hopefully this doesn't start another week long point-counter point

Roop, you ignorant slut ... 

Plus I thought we had to get you down to zero anyway.

Perhaps Roop's current +5 status is because of a dead cat bounce.

(Sorry for my extreme insensitivity, Roop, but this joke was a can't-miss!)

Roop:

I have added to your karma rating.  My condolences on the loss, I feel your pain (really, not like Bill Clinton said he did) and hope you remember the good times.

As for Beloit in Salem, I called Harrahs and they are working on putting that wager on the board by tonight for us.

Pat:

Please transfer 61 of my negative karma points to Sager after that "dead cat bounce" joke.  That was as low as I've seen a CCIW poster go.  He should be punished.

I've been trying, but people all fail to see the perilous situation we're in.

[The Roop]

Pat are you suggesting that Beloit isn't going to Salem ?? I've heard, or possibly made up, a thing or two that says they have implemented a new defensive scheme this year. It was developed by the Alien scientists working at Oak Ridge Natl. Lab who are there on an interplanetary exchange program.

I'd cut Mr. Sager some slack, hard to get mad about something when there's a disclaimer involved.  I'm surprised gobucs haiku didn't cause more of a ruckus actually. There's an inside joke there regarding Prescotts current state. I'd offer a hint but I can't think of one that wouldn't immediately give it away.

It's Flubber^R, I tells ya, Flubber^R! I knew that Fred MacMurray was an alien! It was so obvious!

[The Roop]

I was shocked and saddened to learn of the recent passing of Beloit Colleges long time P.A. Announcer Joe Kobylka. My sincerest condolences to his family and the College. I believe this would have been his 41st season.
