If you did happen to possess such an ambition, it would have been utterly satisfied after last year's World Series. I've always like them, but my affections took a hit when they managed to overcome their curse, with the Cubs still mired in theirs.

As for the Marlins, the Wayne Huizenga team was indeed a crass assemblage of big-money stars, and an example of the worst in baseball. However, Florida's more recent championship was won with a solid team, assembled legitimately and coached strongly by "Trader" Jack.

As for the salmon demise depicted in that picture, you have very little to fear at the moment. I'll be sure to inform you if "GRIZZLY R. BEAR" ever decides to register, though. :P

We did get a random annoying Geneforge fan by the name of taker_guardian who claimed to be a teenage girl and made a nuisance of herself for a while. She ended up with 2 stars, as you can see by searching the forums for her name and finding a post by her.

Hooray for Dolphin!

Your right though, most members tend to vote females higher, as most can't resist the curves of the female poopulation.

Actually, he's said this to me as well. "Purposeful obfuscation" I think he calls it.

I try to stay off these boards when I'm in one of those eye-twitching moods, so you get the happy/confused me.

But my favorite mood is the bliss brought about by complete physical exhaustion. You know, like after having to swim upstream several hundred miles.

Bliss - after a few sodas and a long car trip, there is no better mood than the one that emptying the bladder puts me in.

But seriously, I think I'll have to go with nostalgic. Go through all the good memories you can come up with, one after another, and you'll see what I mean.

Of course, we could just wait. But I'm curious how well this would serve, as a work-around, should we ever not want to wait.

And so we are all enclosed in our shell, reaching out to meet...ourselves? If we can.

Four starts are the result of most people on Spiderweb being happy, friendly, and maybe even cuddly. The reason it's not five stars is because that includes most Spidwebbers. The scattering of ones balances the fives out to fours.

He is at least at one point called manically depressed by Arthur. I think it's while they are sitting on the surface of Magrathea guarding the entrance to the caves the others are exploring (no, I don't have the book here right now).

---

Just because he's described as such, doesn't make the label accurate; Douglas Adams is not a psychologist. There's a common popular misconception that "manic depression" is simply a term for any severe depressive disorder.

You know, maybe its just me being nervous because of a concert I have tonight, but would you PLEASE stop correcting each others posts. I don't say this because I spelled it wrong, but... well, maybe i'm just nervous. I don't want to insult people, but I'm really getting tired of this "correcting-mania" that has started here.

Naturally this is what would occur. Saying it while he's here has similarities to smearing oneself with honey and poking a bear.

Originally written by Thuryl:

Also, "manically depressed" isn't really the right term in this case anyway; so far as I can recall from having read the books, Marvin never showed signs of mania. (Besides, the preferred term for what used to be called "manic depression" is "bipolar disorder" anyway.)
