All is right with the world againFollow

Finally.

The Red Sox have been placed back into the dustbin of history once again-- where they should never have left to begin with since last year.

Hurricane Katrina? The Red Sox's fault. Hurricane Rita? The Red Sox's fault. War in Iraq going badly? The Red Sox's fault. Got a bad grade on your mid-term? Yep, you guessed it, it is the Red Sox's fault.

The Florida Marlins North have been swept from the ALCS as of today, which means the universe's balance has been set right. For the past year everything has been out of whack due to the misbegotten adventures of those formerly lovable baseball players in the post-season. When they won the World Series, the sweet karmic harmony that the world sings hit an uncharacteristic sour note. Let's call it a moment of weakness and sympathy for the Red Sox, whose fated role in the MLB is supposed to be the league's punching bag.

But all that is behind us now. I can guarantee that everything will markedly improve from this time forth. Gas prices will go down, your salary will go up, your girlfriend might even get prettier. Maybe. After all, the natural order of things doesn't usually cover such things as your horrible choices in women.

And there I thought it was because the hockey season had started back up.

Holy s[b][/b]hit Katie, do you miss the **** that bad? Don't forget to wipe all that **** of your face before going back into public. You also broke the "we" rule. Smiley: oyvey

Yet on this rainy Saturday morning, things are still ok in beantown.

For the Bruins are back, the Patriots are still the champs, and the Red Sox reversed the curse.

As long as the yankees don't win, we'll get through this fine.

But you have to admit, the lack of a playoff game between the yankees and the "sawks" hurts everyone...

For as much as that's worth.

At least, until this year's Superbowl.

How did they reverse it? Sure, they broke it maybe. But did they put it back on the originator?

Just sayin'

Hi everyone! Yes, I'm still here, but of late there hasn't been a lot to write about that's newsworthy-- and you know my ramblings have always been penned on a strictly topical basis, right? <rollseyes> However, the Sox losing and setting everything a-right is certainly worthy of a post.

Smoggy, isn't there an EQ equivilent of a methadone center for you to check into? You've relapsed, buddy!

Hi Katie! Hope you're feeling well.

And bodhi, the hockey season is much like wearing stripes with plaid. It's shows terrible taste, but ultimately it reflects back on the person who watches that stuff. Actually I love the game, but love to crack on those who bemoaned the loss of a season. There is always seal pup killings to do on a Saturday night in Canada, isn't there?

Elderon, don't forget that **** makes for a wonderful age diminishing and blemish removing face cream. You should try some of mine.

Omegavega, no, a showdown between the Sox and the Yanks would only tempt Fate once again. We've had enough tragedy this past year, wouldn't you agree?

The Yankees won't be making it either, so that's ok.

I knew that the BoSox were gonna have trouble with the ChiSox, but not like this.

Before game one I said the following, "You do realize that the White Sox are one of the two best teams in Baseball right now, don't you?"

I was laughed at by friends, family, and co-workers.

Of course I routed for the sox, but we choked almost as bad during game two as the yankees did after game 3 of the playoffs last year...

Everybody is mad at me now. Cause of course it's MY FAULT the red sox lost, not the fault of our horrible pitching...

The only deed truly worthy of this affront would be the immediate and absolute irradication of the flotsam that surfaces in this forum. Bring me their heads, and the favour shall be returned.

Well, I blame my Allah peers...everyone time I think I'm out, they pull me back in!

And since I can't seem to convince these knuckleheads to upgrade their 1999 computers to something a bit more up to date to play EQ2, I guess I have to come back to EQ...my **** hot computer weeps from the indignity thrust upon it...also, I can't seem to rid myself of every other character of mine and various female characters I see walking by being bald due to some stupid helm graphic glitch.

That said, it's been fun coming back and hanging out with the folks here again. You should open your old account back up and come join us on Povar...you know you want to...

Yeah, the board will never be the same again without our former #1 fan of the Red Sox/Poker Pro/Liberal Voice/EQ King of Trains... Smiley: bowdown

Which server? I'm on AB. Unfortunately, those that do play EQ2 are all spread out on different servers...
