Christmas '05 Airing of Goodwill

[Samwise]

(Every yin must have a yang.)

I like that the mods around here are reasonable people most of the time and don't rule with iron fists.

I like that the posters around here are reasonable people most of the time and don't force the mods to rule with iron fists.

I like that we can have conversations about religion and politics here and they only devolve into 100% retarded slapfights around 50% of the time.  That's 50% less than anyplace else!

I like that Shockeye posts Useless News for us even though were are undeserving ingrates.

I like Haemish's glorious, cathartic rants.

I like that schild says horribly unpopular things and stands by them.

I like Signe's dry wit.

I like that Paelos is untrollable.

I like that Ironwood makes me laugh out loud at inopportune times.

I like all the people who have avatars that make me smile.

I like a lot of other people that I haven't mentioned yet.  Suffice to say if you're reading this, the odds are very good that I like you at least some of the time.

I like having all my Christmas shopping done.

And I like boobies.



Merry Christmas, everyone!

[Llava]

I like boobies, too.  And I like that a few of the female posters get huffy when we start talking about how great boobs are.

And I like coming here and finding out stuff I wouldn't know otherwise, whether that be anecdotes from Useless News, or gaming facts, or political facts, or whatever.

And I like coming here in general, even though that's becoming more and more rare.

[schild]

I like that for about 2 hours of the day, time stands still while I try to catch up on all the posts.

I like that I have time to do that.

I like that people still post here even though WoW obviously stole their baby....and soul.

I like that people played SW:G:NGE even after I said I'm not playing until rocks can stop my bullets. I command you to play Horizons! And FlyFF!

I like that we're still growing and that more often than not, I like the new members.

I liked The Island. Yea, the movie. I might be the only one.

I like cheap pizza and burritos. AT THE SAME TIME.

I like other things too, but I'm hitting post now.

Edit: I like stickying.

[Strazos]

I like that my parents finally decided a few months back to get digital cable, and I have a box in my room, so now I have a much wider viewing selection.

I like that somehow, professors manage to like the papers I submit that I probably only wrote within the previous 24 hours.

I like that people are overly-impressed with my car, even though I don't think too much of it.

I like that the upcoming VT ski season is shaping up to be terrific.

I like that I've actually managed to somehow meet a few people who are not totally put off by my bizarre music tastes, which are a mix of Trance, classic, and modern rock.

I like that I can get DVD sets on ebay for $100's less than I could through normal retail channels.

I love that the Philadelphia Flyers are doing damn well, especially for a team who hasn't played a single game this season with a fully healthy lineup.

I like that I am finally done undergrad (grades pending).

I like a select few of you people at any one particular time.

I like nice solid B-cups; not too big, but big enough for me.

I like Captain Morgan's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, especially with Coke. It's fantastic.

I love that the Mustang is the only surviving Pony Car.

I love to Argue.

I like the prospect of taking a 21-day tour of China this upcoming summer, especially so due to my mother's deathly fear of me taking such a trip (Avian Flu, omg).

I like big butts and I can not lie. You other brothers can't deny that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face, you get sprung.

[Cheddar]

-I like being home for the first Christmas in over 6 years (and first time spending Christmas day with my daughters).

-I actually like getting up at 5:20am because the kids heard Santa Clause.

-I REALLY liked the show "Lost."  I love Firefly.  I love F13 for pointing them both out to me.

-I like Tragny, slowest catass I ever met (he still has not hit 60 in WoW, despite numerous hours logged in game).

-I like Danwa for being the inverse of Tragny.  Sorry for the times when I dragged you into an hour instance that stretched into 6+ hours of body recovery!

-I like Schild for his optimism.  Its nice when life has not completely crushed your souls and dreams yet!  I also like the hours of work he pours into the site, and truly appreciate the dedication him and others show for the site.

-I like the Mods for being non-moddy unless needed.  And for being funny when moddiness is needed. 

-I like VD for making up brand spanking new vernacular.  See line above?  Her influence!

-I like Haemish for being cute.  Even when ranting and raving he makes me giggle inside.

-I like Shockeye for his patience and dedication to, well, everything (us).  Useless News is genius and must take mucho time to put together right.  Plus all the stuff we do not see!

-I like Signe and her avatards + posts + sig lines.  Girl, you got more creativity in your right bicep then I have in my left thigh! 

-I like SPT because I can wax idiotic for hours and somehow we manage to understand each other and giggle. 

-I like Stray for his eXtreme posting and awesome attitude. 

-I love F13 for the hours of entertainment and thoughtful (sometimes) posts that makes one think.  We may not get along all the time, we may not always understand where the other is coming from, we may get denned for ze zong lyricz, but gosh darnit, we have a real community going on here. 

Gather around guys. its group hug time!




PSWAK - post seal with a kiss.  gay I know. 

[SuperPopTart]

I like that A Christmas Story has been on TBS for 24 straight hours and I've watched about 19 of it. I LOVE it.

I like that I can come to F13, want to brain all of you and still have much <3.

Yes guys, I, admittedly, LOVE and Like MySpace. I have one and.. I like it a lot.

I like that my brother actually loved his christmas presents for the first time in 22 years.

I like Signe because she reminds me of the sister I wish I had.

I like Haemish because well, I married him, duh! And because he constantly gives me pearls. (JEWELS, Not Family, as in gems)

I like Schild because he is my husband-in-law.

I like Shockeye because he is just very sweet, really, behind that exterior.

I like Cheddar because, well, it's Cheddar and he makes me chortle. And he's a friend. Which is cool - can never have too many of those.

I like Nix because he's so spry and young at heart! And he has an awesome little myspace where hot girls go to hit on him and I can post and make fun of him.

I like chocolate because it's yummy and makes me fat.

I like F13 because it brings angst and dismay and happiness to many people.

I like Par because he is just a nice person. And the world needs more of those.

I like Paelos for the same reason.

But mostly, I hope all of you no matter where you are are having a wonderful Christmas filled with many happy memories.

Hugs!

SPT.

[Surlyboi]

I like that Schild has some serious optimism about SWG and actually values innovation, even if I think he's tilting at windmills

I like that Haemish exists as a sort of barometer so that I know there are still heights to reach for in terms of profanity.

I like Voodoolilly's lack of fear to let her freak flag fly.

I like that there are people who want to play EQ2 on this board.

I like that Ironwood is a right scottish bastard and proud of it.

I like that I can still actually play MMOs even though doing so reminds me of my ex.

I like that though I woke up alone and a thousand miles from where I wanted to be this Christmas, I was still able to get out of bed and function.

I like that I was able to post the above line without crying.

[Shockeye]

Been in Iraq - Where are Freespace 3 and Fallout 3

Unless I - Serek Dmart - develop an FS3 title, there will never - ever - be another FS title. Deal with it.

There's some yang to stick in your yin.

[HaemishM]

I like that f13 makes me snicker, giggle, guffaw, chortle, and laugh while still making me think, curse, and generally act like a right pretentious dick who knows what he's talking about.

I like the two right Scots bastards on this board, Righ and Ironwood.

I love my wife, my puppy and my house, for God is a generous God when you listen. And get 5.5% interest rates.

I like the games industry for giving me hours of profanity-laden tirades, mixed in with more hours of fantastic entertainment.

I like Raph for being a cuddly hippy.

I like Lum for being a curmudgeonly crotchety libertarian.

I like Shockeye for being completely useless in public, and totally indispensible when you folks aren't looking. Seriously. He's the man and none of my stuff would get done without him.

And he still knows how to cuddle.

I like schild for being a tireless evangelist for f13, the second biggest supporter of the Haemish Movement (behind my wife), and the inventor of "Cockles!"

I like the NFL and MLB and NHL, when they aren't being greedy thundercunts.

I like cake.

I like Wayabvpar for being a salt of the earth guy who'd give his liver for you if you needed it without asking.

I like Samwise for putting up with us on Call of Cthulu, and writing up indy games I'd probably never think of.

I like samprimary because "I am frustrated to the point of teamwork" should be tattooed on every MMOG developer's forehead.

I like Voodoolily because every board needs a Tori Amos, who's a biologist that makes soap.

I like Rasix because he can outgrumble me.

I like Sky because every board needs a Dennis Hopper, who used to play in a band and likes big screen TV's.

I like Zetleft for being a Cowboy.

I like Evangolis for having more life experience than the characters I write about, and sharing it.

I like Nebu because he had a Geddy Lee avatar, and could probably sew up a sucking chest wound if I ever had one.

I like Nix and Bunk because everyone loves Canadians. Who aren't French that is.

I like Strazos for reminding me of how I used to be, even when I wasn't.

I like Signe because crazy hats are always good conversation pieces. And every board needs a matronly stoner figure.

I like Roac because every board needs the flesh and blood equivalent of the HAL-9000 in every argument.

I like Stray for making me go HUH? on a regular basis.

I like naum for being a staunch liberal.

I like abragado because every board needs a lawyer who is not ashamed to admit to being a lawyer.

I like ahoytherematey because every board needs to be reminded of PIRATES!

And I like all you other motherfuckers I can't think of right now, because somewhere somehow for some reason, you listen to me even when I'm wrong.

[Velorath]

I like that Haemish is using thundercunt more often now.

I like my rabbit, who manages to wake me up at 7 in the morning every day without fail.

I like that there are still original video games out there like God of War and Shadow of the Colossus being made.

I'm very grateful for the Brasilian BBQ I was treated to last night since I couldn't take time off from work to go see my Mom, brother, and sister for the holidays.

I like everyone who humors me amd responds to my posts in the comic sub-forum.

I like being able to look forward to the Bat Country DDO guild when the game launches.

I like a good bottle of Glenmorangie.

I loved the name change from WindUpAtheist to WindUpNutsack.

I like thejeni for teaching us all how to love again.

I'd like to see Geldon return to fag up a thread for old time's sake.

I liked grouping with Mr. Hat and Palehorn in WoW (as well as everyone else in Severance).

I like SPT for being one of the only people in WoW who could keep a conversation going in guild chat.

I like that Schild...  well I can't come up with anything right now but Schild's cool.

[Signe]

I like that other thread better.

Boobies... meh.

[Samwise]

In the spirit of Christmas, I have scoured the internet for a picture of a muscular and scantily attired gentleman in a Santa hat.  I have found exactly one that is work-safe.



Let us never speak again of all the others I found.

[Paelos]

I like Schild because he's not afraid of being wrong, which he's not if you ask him.

I like Shockeye because he's snarky, but it usually has some kind of point.

I like that when SuperPopTart said she liked me, I read it as, "I like Paelos for some reason," and it still totally fit.

I like that Haemish writes, what he writes, and that he's got the stones to write with a vernacular that is nothing less than a cockslap to your modesty.

I like that Samprimary can make stick figures very funny.

I like that Voodoolily has neither the will or the capacity to hold in an opinion.

I like that Signe has probably caused more spit-takes with her one-liners than anyone on this board.

I like that F13.net came from WTo, but has matured out of that jaded community IMO.

I like that Ironwood says he's pure evil, but deep down he's got the heart of a child...in a jar...on his desk.

I like that Sky tells stories like a grandpa, but they're about liquor and sex.

I like that Way plays poker and can discuss it, but I don't want him at my table. 

I like that Samwise posts boobies too. Let the ladies whine.

I like Rasix because he knows what it's like living near Mexicans. They're in his family.

I like wine.

I like scotch.

I like boobies.

[Yegolev]

I like my wife.

I like my son.

I like me.

I like my house.

I like my job.

I like F13.net and its constituent elements.  Now that Bruce is gone.

I like the robust firewall around this forum that keeps out the jackholes.

I like finding a group of people with the same MMOG scars as me.

[voodoolily]

I obviously like Sauced because he gives me sweet lovin' (and the diamond ring was nice, too). But most importantly, I wouldn't even be here (on f13) if it weren't for him.

I like schild because he welcomed me with open arms when I signed on, and even made my first avatar for me because I din't know how to format a jpeg. And I never feel like my taste in Japanese-y wierd stuff is too obscure compared to him.

I like WayAbvPar because he's nice irl! And as long as beets don't come up, he always says my cookin' sounds good.

I like Cheddar because he's raising two girls who will have the sickest, most awesome sense of humor when they grow up. And it's cute to be hated by someone who doesn't know me.

I like SuperPopTart because she's the Sicilian version of me, only younger and perhaps a little more wicked. I mean that in a good way. She's Princess FuckYouUp version 2.0.

I like Signe because she's the cat's pajamas, and could probably MacGuyver a bong out of a wedge of Glastonbury if you asked her to.

I like Paelos because he's living proof that good Christians can and do exist, and I like the idea of him meeting the right girl and scaring the bejeezus out of her when it comes time to seal the deal (wink wink).

I like Stray because he's punk rawk. I wish he'd just get it over with and get that fucking mohawk already.

I like Yegolev and Triforcer for being unabashed Miyamoto fanbois, even in the face of teh Nintendo hate.

I like Shockeye for posting crazy, fucked-up rude and shocking shit, but still being sensitive about me making fun of 'tards. He has a soul. And he knows what McCoy is.

I like Haemish for laying the smackdown when it's needed, and for introducing me to "cockmunch", "douchetard" and other hilarious insult combos.

I like Samwise for using my quote as his sig. And for being so precocious.

Who else? Poco, for being mostly mellow and sage; Nebu, for being someone who knows what I'm talking about if I say "gel electrophoresis"; Bunk, for being in and loving the Great Northwest; and the rest of you who I'm sorry I can't think of anything specifically nice to say about.

[Hanzii]

Life's been good to me this year - I like that.
And I'm not going to make a list that people will only skim to see if they're on it (come on, you did that too)

[HaemishM]

I like Hanzii because he's a journalist I feel no need to skullfuck.  :-D

[Signe]

I don't have a list but if I did, Hanzii would be on it!

[Fargull]

I like going on vacation and coming back.

I like a good morning cup of coffee.  Kinda like sex, tastes good, warms you up, and leaves you with a smile on your face.

I like listening to my son laugh at his jokes.

I like cold mornings.  I like watching the Daily Show.

[voodoolily]

Oh, yeah, I like the foreigners (not Foreigner). Hanzii, you prolly have sweet furniture and could turn me on to some great pickled fish with yogurt dill sauce recipe (seriously, dude, if you could, that'd be great). And Ironwood always cracks me up with the way he types so his accent can be heard. And Der Helm is a big ol' fuzzy anti-racist skinhead waiting to happen.

Oh and Hoax: I like how the combination of your avatar and horrible grammar and spelling make me think you're actually a little kid who has snuck onto a grown-up message board.  :-D

Again, apologies if I forgot anyone.
