Self-deprecation?
😱
Now I truly WILL faint.
Or wait...was that meant for me....just another of your slow burns of epic proportions?
Since we have this pact to always find each other obscure....
*KICK*
Wanted to cheer your progress....halfway thru the year mark n all...

[Zaara]

But...just to be clear...the Blood Eagles are eventually gonna wipe the floor with y'all...

What's the wager?

[Zaara]

I think my work here is done...if you're charged up enough to bet on the outcome.
On the Blood Eagles?
I bet everything. The world and its oyster. The pearls too.
Bcuz (actually) you wouldn't want Marge to lose anything. In fact, you will hate it. But since we are Mongols n all...you will have to wear the cold face.

[Zaara]

I think I will go now.

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

[Zaara]

Thank you Sauron. I will treasure it forever. NOT!
😂😝😜
You haven't forgotten that HARRY POTTER SERIES MEGASPOILER DO NOT OPEM (view spoiler)[
Snape was a double agent...and threw his own team to the dogs?
And that Bellatrix led him to doom with that Unbreakable Vow?
(hide spoiler)]
But then memory can be such a tricky thing....
😂😂😂

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

But (view spoiler)[Bellatrix was fooled because in the end Dumbledore got what he wanted. I see your confusion written on her face. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Zaara]

Haha, I'm so not gonna pretend I didn't see this the very next day bcuz I TOTALLY did...but (at the time) your strange new mood of parental benevolence was so (too much) creepier that I got paralysed...haha 😂😂😂

Not for want of any reply tho', mind.
I totally had ready ripostes in the mean, meaner & meanest versions (all of which would have been extremely confounding and reliably paralysis-inducing...as we all know I am too good at being obscure) but I think after so long I shall jezzt spare you the horror and instead accept Bella's defeat with a good grace.
Of course Dumbledore must win!
So I'll jezzt be over here all...Ave Caesar...morituri te salutant...
+ now that you said it, 😂 Madame Lestrange does look like she...HP&tDH SPOILER....
(view spoiler)[
....is gazing yearningly into the middle distance and picturing Snape's horrible death by venomous snakebite...ahem...totally confused and extremely confunded. (hide spoiler)]

Thanks for the ugh-ly picture, Satan.
Here is one for you...

Also...I suppose, @EvilGrampa, that you routinely do this at family breakfast...*kicking* the fifteen year old...while dandling the five year old on your knee...speaking of parents meanwhile...do you know @Mayim was seriously considering naming her baby Whiskey...😂 there is a Whiskeyjack in American Gods too...Mayim...

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

I wake the kids up for the first day of school with this little ditty

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TB54d...

Then over cereal ask, do you hear that? That is the sound of a thousand terrible things coming this way.

If it's a boy Kaladin and if it's a girl Syl.

[Zaara]

Well @Mayim...the Dark Lord has spoken...
You'll just have to stop resisting the Stormlight Archives now and join us fanatical fans...didn't much like the sound of that *insert bridge number here* jazz...sounded too much like you didn't care...about GodBranSan

@Gramp...I'll check out the video sometime....it isn't loading on this crappy setup...
Now might be the right time to ALSO point out that it was not I who came up with Sauron or even Satan...it was the other mods...all the way back in the Lost Ages 2017 end when the threads were first christened....

In this case, I am innocent....and jezzt get blamed for ALL the things...bcuz of my latent Oonaghery, everyone assumes it WAS me!
It has become a mental heuristic...
tho' to be fair....most times..it IS me!
😁

EDIT I better go now before I say something naffoo....

[Zaara]

Sometimes you are very confusing. I cannot make you out at all. I reckon you do this on purpose because surely...surely Nature cannot contrive such happy accidents?

😈

Uuuuuuhhhh...I think, Mirror on the Wall, we both (for once) agree that the Timelord is deffo the confundingest of them all?

Reckon you figured...I was approaching to talk about the rules and regulations of my parole...which Satan here were definitely confusing about, in the stamces.
I was unsure when the "parole" ends...whether I will be allowed...since Halloween was around the corner?

I thought, I'll just ask quickly...like a Band Aid...

As it was too weird + everyone will be watching...I thought I would be (cunningly) smooth and obscure...without having to explain it all in excruciating detail.
*facepalm*
Thus I fukked up my enquiries prematurely...😅😂 haha!

Which...never mind...let us not go into all this stuff right now...it'll spoil everything horribly.
See how everyone is so happy and in a good mood...why ruin that?
😅😅😅
Please Fin...let's just go and read Harry Potter and leave Sauron alone to get on with his work and other random stuff.
Lots of time left...first we will all celebrate the current tourney's end together IN A WAY and still there'd be lots more time...

Still n all...it was very supportive of you, Brother, to come and try to help me tho' in an extremely obscure way. Was that what you were doing?
Thanks man.
Bridge Four appreciates everything you do for us all.

EDIT OK 😂😂😂 ohk I figured it out...YOU thought I was confused about the old video not loading....naaaah!

[Zaara]

MANY CONGRATULATIONS to the winning captain!
(view spoiler)[
(hide spoiler)]

[Zaara]

So I posted a SlytherinGrampa Mashup spoiler congratulating you on winning the tourney and (of course) you saw it but you never responded. Thus I realised it was a social gaffe😂😂😂😂 it's now gone. Left the Slytherin badge tho bcuz I really truly wanted you to have it.

I was being overly familiar and that was silly, I know. I hope you don't think I was ALSO being presumptuous or invading the draft as a glory hunter or anything. Its just...see...I left @Niki an End of Tourney spoiler that I was gonna confund all the team drafts by generating random fake "bookie" tips so I came up with a set of four matched spoilers. This was to do something "celebratory" for all the team captains...as thanks for all the hard work you five did to set up and administer the tourney.

And I thought...I thought...I must not ignore you while making spoilers for all the other team captains just bcuz...bcuz...*exhales in a rush* just bcuz we mutually dislike each other so then (instead) I overcompemsated and instead left you a very long post...😂😂😂 this is also why I left the Mirror on the Wall. Since the Mirror and the Evil Queen dislike each other but always tell the truth...as honest "enemies"़...

See...normal ppl shoot themselves in the foot, Satan. But me, each time I always shoot myself spectacularly in the head...with the silver bullets of my weirdly devastating truthfulness.
Then I devilishly resurrect (IMMEDIATELY) because unicorn blood has healing powaarrs and I drank it when I was Quirrell...😈
Also my gun is a special vintage Mauser...

I like guns, didja know? Real guns and mythical swords. Altho I am a terrible shot and never can brace myself right for the recoil...need lots more practice on the shooting ramges. Haha, at them country fairs where you shoot for the ughly prizes (usually maim the toys) I once shot the stall operator...😁😜😂...he gave me this HATEFUL glare but I was only eleven years old so he could not clout me...

O yea and additionally, I hope you don't think I was insulting your family/grandchildren with my silly stories abt Santa suits or anything bcuz 😱 nooooo...I didn't mean ANYthing bad...see...we only did a couple BRs together so I dunno much (if anything) about you.

Xept that you love Malazan + are old + and have a large family...so...this is all the ammo I had to play *KICK* with. Thus I was confined in my varieties. Actually I am like Harry...very hungry for family...love the idea of large families celebrating the holidays together. And it is particularly nice to think of you as the father of many girls becauseSo it seemed appro around the season to wish you a great happy old age for many years with your large family...and grandbabies...this is also why I always used to call you Ing...

*TCHKOOOOOOOM*
...Ack gargle yaaaaaaaaaarghhh...

I'll have to go read it. I missed it before. I'm going to squeeze in the last lawn mowing of the season at lunch so it won't be until later.

[Zaara]

Halllooooooooooo Pops. You not seeing the congratulatory posts and Voidbringing *kicks* I am leaving for you here, there…everywhere?

[Zaara]

WHAT?
You said you like domkeys...😈 (hide spoiler)]

[Scott , Karsa Orlong]

Sorry Z, I've been really busy with the new job for the last 6 months. I miss everyone here as well. It's a terrific job but my reading time has become research and study time. It's all really interesting, to me at least, so all good from that perspective.

Cheers and hope you're doing well in the age of the pandemic. Who knew we would live dystopia?

[Zaara]

Surreal times! Don't (let myself) look at the numbers often. But it's good to hear from you and that work's going well + keeping you interested. Not many people are able to say that right now.
But hey...I don't think anybody here knows what it is you DO exactly...but if you now tell me you're a bean counter or a cat groomer, the consequences will be unpleasant 😂😜 so you must at least be one of the ringling brothers, if not a space monkey 🐒 or mebbe even the (gonna be world famous) virologist who ends this all by extracting strange venoms from the Bugalug Bug.

And for you, I will say that I hope you (view spoiler)[ also gave some thought to rearranging your finances to brace for the aftershock. One good thing is that everyone (who still can) will be looking to buy low but 😁 thanks be for such ghouls, they will eventually drive us all upward... (hide spoiler)]

I hope the✋5 are fine... gosh, its seems like another age when I last left messages here for you but its only a few months...
Stay safe, Pops.

(view spoiler)[
What?
Some more beans for you to count with the (must now be?) six year old...



I hope you can do a passable FiFiFoFum voice. I pride myself on my repertoire of growly voices... (hide spoiler)]

I hope you're safe and healthy too. Strange times.
