The Leftovers
It's "The Leftovers" for two reasons. First, I'm hoping I'm not the only one who still has slimy turkey, dried-out stuffing, stale biscuits, and some soupy thing that resembles mashed potatoes in the fridge. (I'm going to eat it all, eventually. Mmm.) Second, for *some* reason there were no winners last week, so some of these entries are left over from the week before.
Okay, I've got to stop picking "ages" that need explanations...on to the winners. So that many people can give belated thanks for me this year, I'm spreading the wealth around this week. No 30-token winner, but a whole lot of winners. Starting off, here's some winners of 10 tokens. I'm not sure why Astronia won...it's an IM, not a particularly funny one, but not a particularly long one either--maybe I just liked the surprise ending.

There's an unfamiliar name among the winners of 15 tokens. No, not Chris, Toca. Why him? Well, he waltzes in after several months, makes a post, and wins tokens for it. I find that scenario amusing. And hey, if they're listening, it gives people like Nyello, PaulCrash, Lavoris49, ScorpioAsh, Cdbpdcb (and others) a reason to come back (...since they don't seem to be coming back on their own.)
Subject: Re: why this game sucks
From: Chriskolak
>>i believe this game sucks for the following reasons:
#1)i will only be pleased with 5000 tokens for winning
#2)if i do not win for this entry than my point will be made
#3)i dont need to put in a 3rd reason because this is of course
the random game
#4)i am a genius which really has nothing to do with this, but i just
thought i might include that
#5)because i am taking time to actually send this letter i believe that
the sum of tokens i require shall be increased to 6000<<
O.k. folks here a sure fire way to win take notes
1. Mention large sums of tokens
2. Try and blackmail somebody who doesn't care
3. Say something stupid
4. Say something arrogent
5. Increase said sum of tokens
6. and be sure to insult the RG
How every this aspiring Randomer could use a few more pointers
1. Type backwards (never been done)
2. Type random letters (funny and requires great amounts of intelligence thus impressing everone)
3. Threaten Myrrhs family (She always caves in)
4. Make alot of Simpson Refrences (We'll promote you to God Status then)
5. Send in E-mail (All players of the RG And the Resident HO {Myrrh, who by the way is a man and love it when you misspell her name} E-mail mysteriously stopped working about three months ago, no ones seen any of these since)
6. Say something about Hanson sucking (Hanson sucks is funny)
7. Mention poop (Huh Huh Poop)
8. Jokes everyone's heard(nuff said)

From: Tocadisco
I've been away from this game for so long, I wondered if it is like riding a bike. Can I just come back and poof there it is? Apparently not. I barely remember how to type. These last two lines - took 40 minutes to type.
That's right. 40 minutes.
Well, i also lost 6 fingers since the last time I was here, so that might be part of the problem. If it's not part of the problem, it's part of the solution they say. Well, I can't see how losing 6 fingers solves anything...eccept maybe my habit for scratching my nuts.

Hey, I've watched most of the normal episodes twice. Beavis and Butthead are two cartoon characters that, if they were to post, would probably fit right in.

Did you ever notice that the background to this message board isn't just a jumble of muted colors running into one another, but is actually lots of push-pins all jumbled together? And the Online Clock is always at 5:09. The little pencil you click on for e-mail never gets any duller, and there are never any files in the cabinet icon or papers in the Favorite Places icon. Oh yes, and the Stocks and Portfolios
graph is always going up.
Surprise, surprise... AOL is not real life!!
Now, I understand that Brian's post had quite the stay in the margin last week. I guess he should get something for that, so he gets 10 tokens. And here's even more 10-token winners.

I went to school with a Laurie Kunta. Actually, my mother slapped my mouth when I was 12 because I told her that my friend Laurie Kunta was comming over. She told me don't ever say that word again. I was afraid to ask what word. So from that day foward, I didn't invite any of my friends over anymore.

Any thoughts? Any thoughts?

OK I'm having a REALLY BAD DAY HERE!!!!!
So bear with me while I have a theraputic fantasy.............
My husband got in an accident today, the car is trashed but he's ok. ( Here's where it goes into the fantasy.) Finishing paying off the car, no big deal. We have several others. We're extremely wealthy you know. Increased insurance rates. Who cares, I'll never know the difference since we have accountants who pay our bills. In fact I don't even have to type this if I didn't want to. I'll just make the help do it. Credit card balances? We pay them off every month, well the accountants do. So I think we'll go on a trip to get our minds off this nasty business while our people take care of this. Maybe we'll go to our home in Scottland, of course our Swiss home is much nicer. I think I'll stop off in Haiwaii first though and do some shopping in Paris.............
So do I feel better? Not really

Subject: Horse talk
From: MitchRK
A horse is a horse of course (of course), and no one can talk to a horse, of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is there and you feel like talking to it. What's to stop you? You can talk to a fig tree if you want to, or a pool table, or a Radio Shack, or a plate of rigatoni, or a sock. You might even ask these things questions, rhetorical, of course (of course).
If these things talk back to you, maybe you should not automatically assume that you are perfectly sane and you are the only one who knows that this thing can talk and everyone else is wrong. It is very possible that you have lost your little bag o' marbles and you need to check yourself into the nearest "facility."
I actually read about a week and half worth of posts in two days, and I would like to give thanks that those two days are finally over with.
