I think I'm in love with my best friend!

I can understand why Thames would stand up after MB asked him that question but the circling like a shark after an injured seal was a touch creepy not to mention the mind-shoe link he had going on before he could formulate the answer "No man"

I think Thames is lying and his long hesitation is my proof.

Well, The Thamesmachine doesn't seem to be the brightest phaser in the array, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was just distracted by something shiny on his shoes.

It's pretty sad that the funniest thing about this season so far for me was your shiny shoe comment. :( and :guffaw: at the same time.
 
So, Thames and I went out yesterday. Not on a date, of course (you know if we were to ever want to get together I think we could just totally skip the dating period since we know each other so well and go right to the sex. Not that we ever will), we just walked around town together to see what was happening. This used to be my town, I knew it so well, but I've been having some problems since I got back from our trip (as you all know) so I felt like an alien at first. But I started to get back into the groove of things.

We went to the coffee shop and had hot choclate. There were girls there. Nice, student type girls, mostly with glasses on. They were quite attractive. A year ago I would have strolled right over to them confidently, sat down and talked. I used to be so good with girls. It came easy to me, just being able to talk to girls like they're just any other human being and showing my interest in them in subtle ways. I'm not boasting but I've honestly lost count of the number of girls I've had sexual contact with (I'm including mild stuff like kissing and blowjobs here...if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)

I could see Thames looking over too and he gave me that old look he used to give me when he was my wingman as if to say "yes, we're going to go over and talk to those girls." I was pleased, he was completely ignoring the fact that he's supposed to be dating Tubbs. I had been stopping myself from saying anything negatvie about her to him since our meeting in the park, but secretly I thought that all the things I'd said in the past had collected inside his mind and lived there and festered and rolled together into a big ball until it had finally rollen over the love he THOUGHT he had for her and made him come to his senses.

We went over and...it was a disaster. I suddenly felt panic in my throat and stomach and right down to my toes. I felt like I was in my room again when I didn't want to go out. I said NOTHING to the girls. Thames did all the talking and, while Thames is a good looking guy, he does NOT have a lot of topics of conversation. I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table as he began talking about Ultimate Fighting and Batman with the girls. You don't talk about those things with girls!

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!" In the old days I would have. I would have been able to fake it, at least, just for a little while, to impress the girl. Maybe days or hours later I wouldn't be able to keep it up anymore and we'd drift apart, but at least initially I'd fake it. But as this girl stared at me for minute after minute (and she was the prettiest at the table, she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian) I just coulnd't get any words out. Finally the girls made some excuse and left. Boomer gave one last look back over her shoulder which I'm sure was meant for me. I managed to shrug an apology with my shoulders.

Thames asked what had happened so I lied and said I didn't think they were hot. He said "what, are you gay or something?" and then there was a long awkward silence as he remembered my admission of sex thoughts about him. I asked why he was talking to other girls anyway and if Food Fan would be angry. He said she's cool with him flirting with other girls and he's cool with her flirting with other guys. Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr. I wanted to say "she's more likely to be flirting with CAKES!" but I'd told him about Cakes from this board so it might have confused him (I meant the food.)
 
So, Thames and I went out yesterday.

Finally, we get to the good stuff.

Not on a date,

Goddammit!

of course (you know if we were to ever want to get together I think we could just totally skip the dating period since we know each other so well and go right to the sex. Not that we ever will), we just walked around town together to see what was happening.

God, this whole season is just one prolonged tease.

This used to be my town,

I wouldn't trust you to run a town in SimCity.

I knew it so well,

And I'm sure the local authorities knew you quite well, too, Mr. Public Nudity Stalker Creep.

but I've been having some problems since I got back from our trip (as you all know)

Oh, that's an understatement.

so I felt like an alien at first.

Are we foreshadowing something here?

But I started to get back into the groove of things.

If only that was a sexual reference.

We went to the coffee shop and had hot choclate.

Is it already winter in BagginsWorld?

There were girls there. Nice, student type girls, mostly with glasses on. They were quite attractive.

In other words, completely uninterested in you.

A year ago I would have strolled right over to them confidently, sat down and talked.

Only if you found out you were related to them.

I used to be so good with girls.

Especially the mildly retarded cousin kind.

It came easy to me, just being able to talk to girls like they're just any other human being and showing my interest in them in subtle ways.

Yes, I'm sure flashing your penis works wonders as an introduction.


I'm not boasting but I've honestly lost count of the number of girls I've had sexual contact with (I'm including mild stuff like kissing and blowjobs here...if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)

I think it's a stretch to call kissing "sexual contact," bro. But, whatever makes you feel like more of a stud.

I could see Thames looking over too and he gave me that old look he used to give me when he was my wingman as if to say "yes, we're going to go over and talk to those girls." I was pleased, he was completely ignoring the fact that he's supposed to be dating Tubbs.

Yes, it's so nice to hear he has just as much moral integrity as you do.

I had been stopping myself from saying anything negatvie about her to him since our meeting in the park, but secretly I thought that all the things I'd said in the past had collected inside his mind and lived there and festered and rolled together into a big ball until it had finally rollen over the love he THOUGHT he had for her and made him come to his senses.

Or he's just tired of you stalking him. Could be that one. Maybe he thinks you'll stop if he's no longer dating the "FOOD MACHINE".

We went over and...it was a disaster.

Ah, a familiar sensation for you, then.

I suddenly felt panic in my throat and stomach and right down to my toes.

I'm sure you could just feel the felonies racking up.

I felt like I was in my room again when I didn't want to go out. I said NOTHING to the girls. Thames did all the talking and, while Thames is a good looking guy, he does NOT have a lot of topics of conversation.

Well, that's absurd! He likes to talk about wrestling, and... and... cruising for pussy! And also... um... well...

I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table as he began talking about Ultimate Fighting and Batman with the girls. You don't talk about those things with girls!

Isn't Batman how you got into Batgirl's pants?

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!"

We're doomed! DOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

In the old days I would have. I would have been able to fake it, at least, just for a little while, to impress the girl. Maybe days or hours later I wouldn't be able to keep it up anymore and we'd drift apart, but at least initially I'd fake it.

I'm sorry, I'm distracted by phrases like "fake it" and "keep it up". :lol:

But as this girl stared at me for minute after minute (and she was the prettiest at the table, she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian)

How the Christ does that work?

I just coulnd't get any words out.

Yeah, that's probably for the best, in your case. The less you say, the smarter you seem.

Finally the girls made some excuse and left. Boomer gave one last look back over her shoulder which I'm sure was meant for me. I managed to shrug an apology with my shoulders.

Excellent. We need to get these distractions out of the way so the Thames storyline can continue.

Thames asked what had happened so I lied and said I didn't think they were hot.

That is NOT the way to prove your ultraheteroness, my friend.

He said "what, are you gay or something?"

WE HAVE A WINNER! DING DING DING!

and then there was a long awkward silence as he remembered my admission of sex thoughts about him.

God, is he thick or what?

I asked why he was talking to other girls anyway and if Food Fan would be angry. He said she's cool with him flirting with other girls and he's cool with her flirting with other guys. Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr. I wanted to say "she's more likely to be flirting with CAKES!" but I'd told him about Cakes from this board so it might have confused him (I meant the food.)

Wait, what? Is this a two-parter? It just fucking ended, and I didn't even see a "TO BE CONTINUED..." followed by ominous fanfare.

I agree with sidious. FAIL! FAIL FAIL FAIL!
 
It seems to me that MB is pushing the audience participation idea forward this season what with the number of cakes references. It's not helping the ratings, though.
 
So, Thames and I went out yesterday. Not on a date, of course (you know if we were to ever want to get together I think we could just totally skip the dating period since we know each other so well and go right to the sex.

So what's your excuse for skipping right to the sex with people you don't know, and who don't have penises?

This used to be my town, I knew it so well, but I've been having some problems since I got back from our trip (as you all know)
MB, I'm really starting to think that you have some canine ancestry. When you;re away from a place or person for more than a day, you seem to get confused and defensive. This could also explain your need to stick your penis into everything that moves.
so I felt like an alien at first.
You should be receiving a communique from the mother ship any day now.

A year ago I would have strolled right over to them confidently, sat down and talked.
And look how far that got you in life...

I used to be so good with girls.
[joe wilson] YOU LIE! [/joe wilson]
It came easy to me, just being able to talk to girls like they're just any other human being and showing my interest in them in subtle ways.
Like sticking your penis in them.

if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)
And what, two guys?


I could see Thames looking over too and he gave me that old look he used to give me when he was my wingman as if to say "yes, we're going to go over and talk to those girls."
I'm surprised that Thames can utter a full sentence without adding "let's get some pussy, yo" into it at inappropriate times.

I was pleased, he was completely ignoring the fact that he's supposed to be dating Tubbs.
Honestly, I think I liked the character better when her name was THAT FOOD MACHINE



Thames did all the talking
I take it this was a bad idea.

and, while Thames is a good looking guy, he does NOT have a lot of topics of conversation.
How many times did he need to look at his shoes to carry on this conversation?

I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table
Don't masturbate in public. It's icky.

as he began talking about Ultimate Fighting and Batman with the girls. You don't talk about those things with girls!
Wait...isn't that how you got the first 2 girls to fuck you?:wtf:

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!"
She obviously doesn't know that you have a very loose grasp of 'normal'.



Thames asked what had happened so I lied and said I didn't think they were hot. He said "what, are you gay or something?"
Wait for it...

and then there was a long awkward silence as he remembered my admission of sex thoughts about him.
Are you sure that he wasn't just distracted by a spoon, or something. There's no way that Thames is capable of such deep thought.


Me made me angry!
HUUULLLKKK SMASHHH!!!!

An okay episode, overall. Not useless exposition, like the last one, but no where up sot the standard of seasons one and three.
 
This used to be my town, I knew it so well, but I've been having some problems since I got back from our trip (as you all know) so I felt like an alien at first.

Do we have a subtle admission? Squiggy is always point not non-US English so maybe you are an alien...not the green skinned type but the illegal type, though I guess creatures from outer space would also be illegal aliens if they didn't have some sort of visa.

Nice, student type girls, mostly with glasses on. They were quite attractive.
Of course they were as only people who study would need glasses. I'd like to visit MB's town, not to see him but it does seem that all the girls are always hot.

A year ago I would have strolled right over to them confidently, sat down and talked. I used to be so good with girls. It came easy to me, just being able to talk to girls like they're just any other human being and showing my interest in them in subtle ways. I'm not boasting but I've honestly lost count of the number of girls I've had sexual contact with (I'm including mild stuff like kissing and blowjobs here...if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)
Only four? I thought you were getting pussy on a tap when you were in the van? Was someone telling porkies about their sexual conquests?

dating Tubbs.
Sorry there is one unattractive girl in town. Still the hotness to notness ratio is very good.

We went over and...it was a disaster. I suddenly felt panic in my throat and stomach and right down to my toes.
Probably due to some sort of empathic projection from the girls.

I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table as he began talking about Ultimate Fighting and Batman with the girls. You don't talk about those things with girls!
Yes, there are many things that one cannot discuss in the presence of the fairer sex. Cooking and knitting only, please chaps.

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!" In the old days I would have.
She was probably concerned with why you were sitting quietly death gripping the table. I know some women say they like the "strong silent type" but there is a thin line between that and mute table-groper.

But as this girl stared at me for minute after minute (and she was the prettiest at the table, she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian)
Also forgot to mention above that this town also seems to be populated by twins of female movie stars. If you see a Keira Knightley there tell me. Seriously, tell me.

Boomer gave one last look back over her shoulder which I'm sure was meant for me.
Probably the old "checking to make sure the creepy guys aren't stalking us out of the cafe" look.

Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr.
Why does that make you angry? It can't be because you don't believe in open relationships given all of yours you have recounted here you've treated them as open by constantly cheating on your partner with more often than not your cousin.

I wanted to say "she's more likely to be flirting with CAKES!"
With wit like that...I don't know what to say actually.
 
Could we just fast forward to the season finale, wherein MB finally has sex with Thames while Thames is asleep, only to later find out that Thames is related to him?
 
Could we just fast forward to the season finale, wherein MB finally has sex with Thames while Thames is asleep, only to later find out that Thames is related to him?
Only to find out later that they're related or will he do it because he finds out they're related? :vulcan:
 
So, Thames and I went out yesterday.

Awww. Our little MB is growing up!

Not on a date, of course...

Oh. :(

(you know if we were to ever want to get together I think we could just totally skip the dating period since we know each other so well and go right to the sex. Not that we ever will),

Yep. Dating isn't about the dating it's about the sex.

we just walked around town together to see what was happening. This used to be my town, I knew it so well, but I've been having some problems since I got back from our trip (as you all know) so I felt like an alien at first. But I started to get back into the groove of things.

Dude, it's not like you lived in some second-world country for 18 months. You were in freakin' Decatur and gone for all of 6 weeks. Get over it.

We went to the coffee shop and had hot choclate.

Way to not look gay.

There were girls there. Nice, student type girls, mostly with glasses on.

Another surprising cliche.

A year ago I would have strolled right over to them confidently, sat down and talked. I used to be so good with girls.

Unfortuantly you're not related to them.

It came easy to me, just being able to talk to girls like they're just any other human being and showing my interest in them in subtle ways.

There's astounding evidence to the contrary.

I'm not boasting but I've honestly lost count of the number of girls I've had sexual contact with (I'm including mild stuff like kissing and blowjobs here...if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)

It's been two. Two. Maybe three. If we discount the one's who were under-aged or you were related to we somehow end up in negative numbers.

I could see Thames looking over too and he gave me that old look he used to give me when he was my wingman as if to say "yes, we're going to go over and talk to those girls." I was pleased, he was completely ignoring the fact that he's supposed to be dating Tubbs.

Again with the fat jokes.

I had been stopping myself from saying anything negatvie about her to him since our meeting in the park, but secretly I thought that all the things I'd said in the past had collected inside his mind and lived there and festered and rolled together into a big ball until it had finally rollen over the love he THOUGHT he had for her and made him come to his senses.

Oh, Mad Baggins, don't ever change! Stay closed minded and unsupportive of your friend's choices in life!

We went over and...it was a disaster. I suddenly felt panic in my throat and stomach and right down to my toes. I felt like I was in my room again when I didn't want to go out. I said NOTHING to the girls.

Business as usual then.

Thames did all the talking and, while Thames is a good looking guy, he does NOT have a lot of topics of conversation.

Unlike you who has neither looks nor things to talk about.

I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table...

Ew.

You don't talk about those things with girls!

How soon we forget about Batgirl.

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!" In the old days I would have. I would have been able to fake it, at least, just for a little while, to impress the girl. Maybe days or hours later I wouldn't be able to keep it up anymore and we'd drift apart, but at least initially I'd fake it.

LDG, this one goes out to you!

But as this girl stared at me for minute after minute (and she was the prettiest at the table, she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian)

Of course she was.

I just coulnd't get any words out. Finally the girls made some excuse and left. Boomer gave one last look back over her shoulder which I'm sure was meant for me. I managed to shrug an apology with my shoulders.

This plot thread is going no where, isn't it! This makes Trekker ANGRY!!!

Thames asked what had happened so I lied and said I didn't think they were hot. He said "what, are you gay or something?" and then there was a long awkward silence as he remembered my admission of sex thoughts about him.

Awkward!

I asked why he was talking to other girls anyway and if Food Fan would be angry.

"Food Fan." Ok, that's kind of funny.

He said she's cool with him flirting with other girls and he's cool with her flirting with other guys. Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr. I wanted to say "she's more likely to be flirting with CAKES!" but I'd told him about Cakes from this board so it might have confused him (I meant the food.)

Speaking of confused.
 
Oh! you pretty things,
don't you know you're driving your Mama's and Papa's insane,
let me say it again,
got to make way for the Homo Superior...
 
Welcome to the 'Spock's Brain' episode of this season.

We went to the coffee shop and had hot choclate.
Not at all gay.

This used to be my town
Madonna? Is that you?

he's supposed to be dating Tubbs
Maybe he can line up Crockett for you.
(thought someone would have made that joke by now!)

I had been stopping myself from saying anything negatvie about her to him since our meeting in the park, but secretly I thought that all the things I'd said in the past had collected inside his mind and lived there and festered and rolled together into a big ball until it had finally rollen over the love he THOUGHT he had for her and made him come to his senses.
Way to creepily think about placing destructive thoughts in your friend's head. Creepy.

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!"
Boy, she REALLY doesn't know you!

she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian
What? What?!

I managed to shrug an apology with my shoulders.
Better than shrugging with your feet, my mother always said.

Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr.
"Grr"? Really? "Grr"?

That was the 'Spock's Brain' episode of this season. We should never speak of it again.
 
I'm not boasting but I've honestly lost count of the number of girls I've had sexual contact with (I'm including mild stuff like kissing and blowjobs here...if it's just sex then it's...four girls, I think.)

I love it when people say they lose count of something only to immediately state that number and have it to be unimpressive.

"I've honestly lost count of how many times I've met Neil Armstrong. Once."


I could see Thames looking over too and he gave me that old look he used to give me when he was my wingman as if to say "yes, we're going to go over and talk to those girls."
Tim is the shittiest wingman in all of human history. Look at what you've fucked. Your cousin, a coke-head mother of two, a minor...and I can only assume the 4th is a farm animal of some sort.


We went over and...it was a disaster.
THERE'S a shock. A retard and a basket case having hot chocolate during the summer and it didn't go well.


I suddenly felt panic in my throat and stomach and right down to my toes.
Ironically, you didn't feel this in your head...which is your most fucked up area.


I sat there clutching myself in panic under the table as he began talking about Ultimate Fighting and Batman with the girls. You don't talk about those things with girls!
You should've stone cold stunned him (season 1) or talked about Batman (season 2). Hell. You should've just lied to them and said you were a professional wrestler (2 weeks ago)...oh wise and knowledgeable sage of women.

I could see one of them looking over at me from behind her glasses, a look which said "help me, talk about something normal!"
Yes. Because when some douchebag walks up and starts talking to girls like they're 11 year old boys, the girl turns to the douchebag's friend for a way out. Totally believable.


In the old days I would have. I would have been able to fake it, at least, just for a little while, to impress the girl. Maybe days or hours later I wouldn't be able to keep it up anymore and we'd drift apart, but at least initially I'd fake it.
If you can't hold a girl's intrest for more than a couple of hours...you have failed and you've faked nothing. Well done.


But as this girl stared at me for minute after minute (and she was the prettiest at the table, she looked a bit like Boomer from BSG only she wasn't asian)
I guess that means "She had black hair". You suck at describing people. You remind me of this one guy who looked like MLK, but he wasn't black.


I just coulnd't get any words out. Finally the girls made some excuse and left. Boomer gave one last look back over her shoulder which I'm sure was meant for me.
Yeah. I'm sure you impressed her. The only thing that you could've done to impress her more would be to shit yourself and then yell at a dog since she's into the whole "mental friend of retarded douchbags".


I managed to shrug an apology with my shoulders.
As compared to shrugging with other parts. Thanks for the clarification.


Thames asked what had happened so I lied and said I didn't think they were hot. He said "what, are you gay or something?" and then there was a long awkward silence as he remembered my admission of sex thoughts about him.
This shows how stupid this character is. When was your admission? Friday? Who the hell would forget that his best friend not only came out of the closet, but also said that he wants to fuck him?


I asked why he was talking to other girls anyway and if Food Fan would be angry. He said she's cool with him flirting with other girls and he's cool with her flirting with other guys. Grr! What a set up! Me made me angry! Grr. I wanted to say "she's more likely to be flirting with CAKES!" but I'd told him about Cakes from this board so it might have confused him (I meant the food.)
Good thing you're telling him about Cakes. I can't wait for next season.
