Dude, you did an excellent job, even if it was Social. And didn't you win us the last Rocket Race last night driving?

Yep, Sandtrap is a lot easier to navigate than Valhalla, I always end up fish-tailing in the goose on Valhalla.

Also, you were RL'ing magnificently.

Which was out of the ordinary for me.

I'm still pissed I blew that Valhalla game where you were driving, but to the other teams credit, they took a calculated shot at where they thought we'd be, where I was waiting to see where they were before I emptied out my RL.

Hells yeah, I'm up for it. I love Rocket Race. I've just learned not to commit myself to anything until I'm sure I'm actually free when it's happening.

It's a shame more people don't play Rocket Race on Xbox Live. It seems like half the people in any match have no idea what on earth they're doing.

So are Chuckit and I teammates? If not, I can team up with my brother. I told him how awesome the last meet-up was and he really wants to participate in the next outing.

Slick shoes?!! Are you crazy?!!

Odd fetish, but to each his own I suppose.

Looks like decog is on board with being my wingman. But have we decided on a day/time yet? During the week would be best for us, but I'm open to the weekend. That would mean I'd need a backup since decog is usually unable to play on the weekends.

Or we could have you and your brother as a team and ::maroma:: and chuckit as the other.

I love how this went from not enough people to too many in a morning.

I'll gladly take Chuckit as my teammate if he doesn't mind.

Or the other half aren't really interested in playing it correctly.

When we finalize the teams I'll give a break down of the rules and scoring.

Think about it...

I likened the difficulty of teaming everyone up to herding cats, which is a cliché for something difficult or impossible.

Dude, if you're bored, look up Farm Sluts. Then be glad that's not you.

Edit: I love you so much, here it is

I thoroughly enjoyed the Teddy Bear and motor oil scene.
