seriously. 1 week. I have two essays due tomorrow and if I stay here any longer I'm not going to make it. My grade depends on me being banned.

Ban me.

i hereby ban thee!

oh yeah, sorry, i can't. if you leave permanently like townsend... i'll kill you. got it?!
 
NO!

You need to learn to do your work with distractions!Banning you would be the "easy way out"!
 
Yah, don't be such a pansy, learn to work with the PF in the way
 
I am so lucky I don't have all these things coming up

Ban me.
Smurf - just Log Out! And delete your cookie.

Then don't come back for one week. You can do it! :cool:

We'll still be here.
 
I just finished one of the essays, the second one only has to be a rough rough draft. So I don't have to get banned after all.

(ha, you know what'd be funny? If I get banned just now)

No, you're going to go into a science. You've got much MUCH harder stuff coming up, it's just a little bit farther away.

loser.

Don't worry babe, you got my MSN. Not that I ever go on it, but still!

Townsend didn't leave permanently, did he?

yes townsend left permanently, course... i have his msn too... still, just because i talk to people off pf doesn't give them permission to just leave!

I don't think we're going to get in the habit of banning people for only a week at a time because they can't manage their time. You either have to want to make it permanent or not at all.

Smurf, you have to be strong. If I banned you temporarily, you'd just sneak back in, then get banned permanently for breaking the ban. :biggrin:

OK, NO ONE TALK TO SMURF. Pretend he's banned.

Wow... I just had an epiphany. I mean, that statement really made me look at my life in a different way.

If I have the power to make tribdog want to run away... Do you know what that MEANS?

...

I CAN HOLD TRIBDOG'S PRESENCE HOSTAGE AND GET ANYTHING I WANT FROM MOONBEAR! :!) :-p Woohooo! Feel the power baby!:biggrin: :approve: :-p

lol, if I was talking to you I'd tell you don't get your hopes up. If I was talking to you I'd tell you Moonbear seems to be allergic to tribdogs.

We can all just add Smurf to our ignore lists. Of course, then when he wants to talk again, none of us will know it. :rolleyes: :biggrin:

Tell you what, when I want to talk again I'll just make tribdog mysteriously disappear for 3 days. I'm sure you'll figure it out. :smile:
