It's kind of funny

WHOA that's how i always pictured the Arkenstone of Thrain!!

 

[minxnim]

i dont understand that conversation at all but maybe it's cuz i'm not catholic?? i'm so not forgiven. but i suck it up.

 

[xfer]

welll basically Thrain was this misshapen, short pope who essentially stirred up a sleeping dragon and then stole all the treasure and left the enraged dragon to be killed by St. Bard of the Arrow, Black Arrow.

get it?

 

[minxnim]

hm no not at all

i attribute this sort of thing less to karma and more of a hardwired/genetic system of checks and balances.

i.e. the DNA gods knew this kid would have the asshole gene so his mama was granted the cancer gene to balance it

 

[goatschool]

exactly

Truly Xfer that was absolutely fabulous how you did that but you forgot to mention St. Thorin and the story of how he led his disciples back to their home with the assistance of a tiny thief who was then crucified next to Jesus, though on a giant ring instead of cross.

Sincerely,
Your Gaffer

OK, i think the analogy is being stretched a bit then. like a half-pat of butter trying to coat both halves of a bagel.

 

[minxnim]

great. i got cancer for being an asshole. or maybe i'll end up killing my dad.

 

[FuSoYa]

no no amanda you got cancer because your kid is going to be an asshole (on the internet).

I say, why not just withhold the cancer, but seriously, it was goatschool's idea.
