  - But dude, if you are only running one mile, how long does that take? -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:06 6
    - ten minutes more than I usually allow myself in the mornings to get downstairs, feed the cat and log on to work. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 08:08 5
      - Wow, you really did oversleep! -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:09 4

        Calvinball with more hammers but none of the whimsy. - David Aug 20, 08:24 9
        
        yup, I got to 80 multikills in grifball, and in half the games - groiny Aug 20, 08:28 8
        
        It's pinheads who just want to hit people with hammers. It's a game for children. -- nm - David Aug 20, 08:33 4
        
        I will say that if you can tolerate it, the credits you get for games are crazy high. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:35 3

        It's so cute how you guys are finally figuring this out. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:39 1

        Teamates quitting actually can help you with multis, though. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:31 2
        
        not when the other team is just going for the win. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:32 1
        
        Ah, well usually they smell blood, thinking their opponent is weak and want to toy with them. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 08:42
        
        blech. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 20, 08:15
- nothing. don't jinx me, Debbie Downer. -- nm - loosilu Aug 20, 08:04
