View Full Version : How Many Times Can A Guy Say "I'm Back" Before It Loses All Meaning?

I don't know that anyone here who isn't otherwise attached to me in my online leagues will have noticed anything but a sudden loss of long-winded responses at the forum, but I was bumped off the Internet Thursday night and wasn't able to get restored until this morning. :(

Adelphia, my broadband cable service, had problems throughout California that caused Internet shutdown through Saturday. When the system went back up, though, my modem stayed down. I couldn't get a cable guy out here until Mondauy morning, of course. :mad:

Obviously, whatever problem they had must have fried my modem or something (since the solution was simply to hook up a new modem). Well, the cable guy said he thought it was just a coincidence. Yeah...I'll buy that...

I think the thing that pissed me off the most is that it happened at the worst time (of course), with a critical spring training being run in one of my OOTPO5 leagues, a key offseason/free agency in the other, and Week One, of IHOF. I can only pray the seven cuts the computer did for me for Week One were ones I wanted to do. :(

Anway, if anyone was looking for me, sorry I couldn't get in contact with you.

Did anyone else read the subject and worry for a moment that Jordan was unretiring again?

Man, I'm sorry to hear that Chief Rum. That's a horrible way to go into the IHOF season :(

I actually thought this was going to be about Eric Crouch again.

Heh...and you benefited! SLO 17, Anaheim 14.

Well, I don't know that I would have made a difference, but it's possible.

Shoot. Is this why my connection is super slow right now? I'm with Adelphia too. :mad:

Ah ha! The number 8 is back. I was wondering why my calculator froze up when I asked it what 2 to the 3rd power was.
