This is obviously a troll. We all know the MVP this year is either going to be Tdarcos, Flack, or Finsternis. It's probably going to be Tdarcos because what is this place if not somewhere we can all throw stones at a morbidly obese man with declining mental health?

Absolutely. I think Retro has done a fine job.

Oh I love his insults. He's very funny when he gets so "rip roarin' angry," and proceeds to tear me a new one. Then he lies (to himself, mostly) and says he's not angry. You can't post the kind of soul-tormented anguish he did when he declared I was worse than useless and my dead body was so toxic it would contaminate caustic waste, unless someone has really pissed you off.

That's beautiful prose, and it only comes from soul-crushling anger. That's why I said he's funny when he's angry, because he is. He releases his innermost hatred, and spews it, letting the chips fall where they may. And his expression of anguish is so comical.

RetroRomper is like a diamond-in-the-rough, and I hope to continue to annoy err I mean polish him more, so his brightness can shine.

You do not know what the correct phrase is. It's "jonesing" not "jonesyin". From "Mr. Jones" a slang term for heroine.
It's slang term for a female hero? I've heard of it referred to by a lot of terms (smack, H, dope, China white) but never that.

So I stand corrected. (Well, I can't really stand, but you know what I mean.) So It's "Jonesing for a fix," but I still felt, since Jonsey was sending it to me (starburst, not heroin) I felt the pun worked.

And what you did was exactly right to create a "teachable moment," you explained something was wrong, and showed what the correction was. And we both learned something.

However, it also means I get to bust your balls when you misspell "heroin." By the way, has anyone seen the "the" that Flack wanted fixed?

I just took 3 seconds to google Adderall in order to understand what you are getting at, and because I care about this place, and I have to inform you that you are wrong all all accounts. I've never taken Adderall, I've never been prescribed it and I have never taken drugs recreationally. I don't drink coffee because the stuff acts as a laxative and because I haven't been able to pull the trigger on a Keurig because I hear they are built like shit and break down all the time. I have considered buying a French Press though so that's something. I seldom have a soda because it just tastes like a can of sugary shit and makes me thirstier. I don't like mentos because I find it annoying how they grind against my teeth, like nails on a chalkboard sort of. And because they taste like shit.

Tying in with the above line about heroin addiction, I just thought of a joke, "I'm Jonseyin' for a fix, man, I gotta get me more Starburst." (Yes, I know the correct phrase is "Jonesyin' for a fix," I felt it works here.)
Order placed! Amazon said the Starburst should show up Thursday and the charger "June 2, 2020 - June 5, 2020"

I will probably gain several pounds, you really nice bastard. I actually thought it was a thoughtful gift, and I am touched.
Hey Paul, that was from me.
Okay, Flack, if I didn't express my appreciation to you before, thank you, you really nice bastard. ("Grumble, grumble, I'm gonna gain all this weight. Shut up, it's all so delicious!")

By the way, Flack, my response here is in keeping with my reputation that the nicer someone is to me, the worse I insult them. So actually I should probably insult you much worse as I was sincerely touched, so just accept my thanks to you and just figure I didn't insult you that badly because it was a reasonably nice gift. Calling someone, say, "a greasy motherfucker" is reserved for really fantastic gifts.
Flack wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:08 pm I told Amazon to include a note, but it appears they split the order up into multiple deliveries so it might have ended up in one of the other packages.
To quote Primus from my cartoon, "Those dirty, stinking @#$%@# %*&#@#s never included a &@#$%@& thing."
Flack wrote: Tue Apr 28, 2020 5:08 pm In all I sent two packs of Altoids, an 8 pack of Starburst mini fruit chews, a 6lb package of Black Forest Gummy Bears, and a big sack of York Peppermint Patties. I put the old room number on the order, so make sure they forward everything to you.
I got all of it, and have been a greedy little pig, basically sent my blood sugar levels through the roof, probably. Now I understand why people here are making THC-laced gummy bears, they are delicious and addictive even if they weren't psychoactive.

I apologize for not responding to you sooner, but I did not see your message before until Flack pointed it out. I have an LG LML212VL, but since it accepts the same devices as my tablet, I presume it has a standard USB-C socket.
Ice Cream Jonsey wrote: Thu Apr 30, 2020 1:30 pm I'll send you a new charger and some Starburst.
This should have convinced everyone that I never saw your message. While I (then) despirately needed a charger, and it would have been important, offering me free starburst is like telling a heroin addict you just got a fresh supply of Black Tar. I could not resist.

Paul, when everything gets back to normal*, could you post a picture of the candy that arrived? I want to make sure you got everything, and I also want to see what six pounds of gummy bears looks like.

Cyril O'Reilly from Oz once said, "We don't choose God. God chooses us." I'm pretty sure St. Francis and Billy Graham were atheists as well until they got tired of the recurring plagues and limb amputations. Maybe it's time to just finally accept your destiny? I envision you touring the world in a power wheelchair with a Bible in one hand and a pistol in the other. Fifth Great Awakening, here we come!
Ain't. Gonna. Happen. If you could conclusively prove there is a god or gods actually running this world or this universe, the Christian god would still be impossible and the Bible would still be errant and wrong, in so many ways.

It's infuriating that you've been kept offline just because you didn't have a phone charger. They're bringing you food every day -- would it really have been so hard for them to include one of the most ubiquitous items on the planet on the tray? If they didn't have a cable handy, they could have just looked behind the nearest sofa to find one.
Oh they found me a charger, it just didn't work. The spare phone I used to post had no sim card but was an Android phone and could use Wifi. Another phone (my main one) and a tablet would not charge. So I plugged the spare phone in at 34% power, and several hours later, turned off mind you, it had 23% power! It's a VAMPIRE charger, it doesn't put power in, it sucks it away!

Depending on your manners and how loquacious the Commander is, he's got - what? - a minute or two after entering your home before you offer him a glass of bleach?
