The PreOccupation
It doesn't matter when you read this file, you can assume I'm tired, have a migraine headache, and still have another hour to go before I can take more Tylenol PM. As for the winners, I'm sure there could be very good reasons why the following posts won tokens this week, but I don't feel like making those reason up now. I'm also sure there are multiple logical reasons for this week's "age," sorry again Jaime.
Jaime does win tokens this week, though. Here's some 10-token winners.

Y'know all those posts that get tagged? Like "Why do you drive on a parkway and park in a driveway." All the things that get newbie idiots tagged, whacked, and told to bite people... I wonder, when they were first thought up, and first posted, were they actually funny? Were people like, "Wow, that's really interesting." Or did people just go, "Bite me."
It really makes you think.

Subject: Credit Cards
From: Ndecisive1
On the back of my credit card there is a number to call in case your card is lost or stolen. Thank god the company is smart enough to put that number on there, because if my card is ever lost or stolen I'm really going to need that number. Of course, I'll probably also need the card with the number on it.

It seems to me that the "something random" post is turning out to be 1998's version of the infamous and well-worn newbie "give me tokens" posts of 1997. 1999 will probably be something like "will kill newbies for tokens", and the most common year 2000 post will be :::crash:::
The big winner this week is Atani7, with 25 tokens. He went an awful long way to for this first post, too far actually. And, come to think of it, ditto for the second post.
Subject: Re: Atani's Love Shack
From: Atani7
So I was downtown at a club last thursday night and my friend had already had about ten drinks and he was getting pretty sloshed. He had his normal attire on which is the same type of outfit everyone else there had on (You know the type, the all too popular highly flammable outfits that they sell at the upscale shops inside the upscale malls that cost almost as much as a small nation's budget and somehow pass as
fashionable).
He had just bought another drink when he decided to get out on the dance floor. Then he stepped out there, and his polyester shirt brushed up against a lit cigarette in this girls hand as he was starting to dance. Well to make a long and very amusing story about carnage and pyrotechnics short and boring, the shirt caught on fire instantly and he ran around screaming for someone to put it
out. Needless to say he didn't get to dance that night.
What's the moral to the story?
Trends don't let friends drink and jive.

I drank a full 12 pack of Caffeine Free Pepsi before realizing it contained no caffeine, much less free caffeine!
Now, even if I were giving reasons for each of this week's winners, I'm still not sure I could justify 15 tokens to TyleredOne and Intergral46, let alone 15 to Chris and MWWils.

my neighbor told me that opportunity was knocking at my door. turns out, I can become involved in the exciting field of tupperwear sales right at home! I am looking over the papers he gave me now.
if you read the fine print, it says something about the possibility of alienating your friends and family, annoying complete strangers, something about microwave safe products......
now my question is, how long have I been selling tupperwear?

It's been a while since The Random Game recipe book was updated. I think we only had one recipe -- one for Chocolate Chip Cookies, without Chocolate Chips. I'm allergic to meat and don't eat water...wait, I'm don't eat meat and I'm allergic to water...uh yeah, so only 10 tokens to Mitch and Chacro.

These two 20-tokens I'm sure I could justify, it'd be something about plays and forcing you to scroll...and um...pez.

From: Conade
I present to you... OMELETTE, a play in, uh, one act and one part (I'm too lazy to write any more than that).
Omelette, played by Chriskolak:
How long does a guy gotta lay in the dirt until he rots? Including folks I have given mouth-to-mouth to?
First Clown, played by Mr Onliner:
Well, uh.. if he's not rotten already, as in the case of most lawyers, he will last you a couple of weeks before he starts to smell. Oi, let me tell you about it! Hiding dead bodies isn't as easy as it used to-- nevermind.. [chuckles nervously] Here's a skull now! It's been here for a couple of years.
Omelette: Whose was it?
First Clown: Whose do you think it was?
Omelette: Dunno.
First Clown: Come on. Guess.
Omelette: MagicClams?
First Clown: Yeah. Right. Guess again.
Omelette: CaieMac?
First Clown: No.
Omelette: Tocadisco?
First Clown. No.
Omelette: I give up.
First Clown: Yeesh, someone's not very persistent.. He's the guy who poured a bottle of vodka on my head and lit me on fire just because he didn't like the way I smelled. This same skull, sir, was Nyello's skull, the king's jester.
Omelette: This?
First Clown: Yeah.
Omelette: Let me see. [Takes the skull] Alas, poor Nyello! I knew him, HOratio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. In other words, a hell of a guy.
HOratio, played by Stotan9876: I wanna see the skull!
Omelette, clutching the skull to his chest: Mine. No.
HOratio: Yes.
Omelette: No.
HOratio: Yes.
Omelette: No.
[HOratio's head falls off.]
First Clown: Can I have the skull now? I need to put it back. I'm not supposed to be digging up graves until the Second Clown comes back.
Omelette: No.
[First Clown's head falls off]
Omelette, exiting the graveyard: This will make a wonderful bookend.
Finally, saving the best...no, wait again, saving the least easily explained for last, here's the rest of the winners of 10 tokens.

I don't like onions, my father's enthusiasm took the enjoyment out of watching the blondes, I was the only one smart

Subject: Re: Stotan's Thread o' Crap
From: Stotan9876
There a few things I've learned in life. And here they are.
1. Even though those little poodles look like their just waiting to be kicked, doing so will cause nothing but trouble.
2. Tennis balls smell just about as bad as anything can smell.
3. Repeat number two, replace "tennis balls" with the name of any given farm in any given area.
4. Never ask anyone what nugat is. It's one of those things that just isn't meant to be known.
5. Any game of Truth or Dare is bound to turn into a big perverted mess.
6. Repeat number two, replace "tennis balls" with "Nursing homes".
7. No matter how hard you look, it is impossible to find anything even mildly entertaining about an episode of "Full House".
8. Urinal cakes are not for eating.
That's about all I got right now.
Oh, and 10 tokens to CowKosmo because Dante303 would have wanted it that way...hold on, she came back from Spain, didn't she? Get your decoder rings out, the secret code is TRGF. If that means nothing to you, forget I even brought it up.
