A priori apologies

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

I posted this for TAM3, too. Or maybe it was for TAM4 but many months ago. Who can remember.

Anyway, I'd like to apologize beforehand for anything stupid I do at TAM4. In particular, I will be staring at everyone's chests attempting to correlate your forum name with your real name. This can be embarrassing at times, depending, of course, on the state of your chest.

Anyone else need to pre-apologize for something?

~~ Paul

[Darat]

I'd like to apologise for spoiling TAM4 for so many people!

What, you're showing up? :p

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I don't have to apologize, since anything stupid I do can be blamed on too much beer. It's the beer that should be apologizing.

[treble_head]

my therapist says I need to stop apologizing so much.

Sorry.

Dammit.

[Mattfn]

In an effort to give Paul something to do while racking his brain for names, I shall be wearing a variety of sayings t-shirts. This will no doubt extend the time he stares at my chest, as he will be reading first, and only then attempting to recall my name.

For encouraging such behavior, benign or not as it may be, I appologize.

For my good-for-very-little body that no doubt will have to make me cut at least one evening short or reduce my participation, I appologize.

For the T-shirt I have run out of time to make, and will therefore deprive you all at TAM4, I appologize. It would have stated:

"WARNING! Lies, Obfuscates, and Misdirects. Engage at your risk."

I'm sure I will have to add more to this afterwards. I'm looking forward to this WAY too much.

Mattfn :moose:

[duppyraces]

I'd like to apologize for everything that I apologized for last year, except that I really wasn't sorry, and I'm sure I won't be again.

[Patricio Elicer]

I'd like to apologise for spoiling TAM4 for so many people!I'll see if I can accept the apology after recovering from the initial shock.:mad: :con2:

[kittynh]

I apologize for the whole NYquil thing. I'm going to be hepped up on cold meds.

Oh and if any of you get my head cold...you can take Nyquil in the daytime. REally....

I may also snore loudly during certain presentations.

[rikzilla]

I apologize in advance for making tons of calls to Osama Bin Laden's cave while visiting past Political forumite adversaries in their rooms at the Stardust. Please tell George Bush about my apology in this thread...I'm certain he'll tell the NSA to only detain you in the nicer bits of Gitmo....

So...hey...sorry! :)

[tkingdoll]

I would like to apologise in advance for spurning your drunken advances. All of you.

[Chaos]

I apologize in advance for not getting drunk and for not making advances to tkingdoll.

I also apologize for making everyone else´s chocolate look so bad at the Challenge and for crushing your fragile spirits with my clear victory.

[tsg]

I apologize for getting drunk and not making advances on tkingdoll.

I also apologize for making advances on tkingdoll while not drunk.

I'm sorry for what I'm going to say about someone's mother: I won't mean it.

[Mattfn]

I also apologize for having mispelled apologize in my first post on this thread. (appologise)

Bad spellers of the world, untie!

[Terry]

I'm sorry about how tacky the gifts are. But it's deliberate tacky, honest.

[tkingdoll]

I meant financial advances. I'll buy my own minimum stake, dammit!

[Beleth]

I apologize for winning the poker tournament, especially to rebecca, who won't know I apologized to her until it's too late.

[Ducky]

Take either nyQuil or dayQuil kitty, your cold doesn't give a sh*t what time it is.


I would like to apologise in advance for farting. Alot.

[kittynh]

dayQuil doesn't give you the mellow buzz. Plus you see spots that could be fairies.

Hutch, I'm sorry for the hernia you are going to get from lifting all our luggage. I have taken out everything that isn't totally necessary.

[Quinn]

I apologize for being the guy who's been away from the forum so long that he doesn't know a lot of the people, doesn't get a lot of the jokes, and is generally slow on the uptake.

I also apologize to the Brits for misspelling the word "apologise."

[Jeff Wagg]

I apologize for apologizing too much. No, no I don't. Well, maybe I do.

[Ducky]

I apologise for dayQuil not giving you the the good buzz.

[Hutch]

What is this 'luggage' and 'lifting' you speak of, woman?? :)

I have manhandled 2 bags, a carry-on and a laptop computer through the Cairo airport, dodging "helpers" all the while--I can handle this (I hope)

[supercorgi]

I apologize for apologizing too much. No, no I don't. Well, maybe I do.
I apologize for calling Jeff "stinky". And for staggering around alot during TAM. And if I hit on anyone, I apoligize for that. (Just for the record, I'm not a guy, I'm a skepchick.) :D

Be advised all skepchicks:

While I am unbelievably irresistable, hitting on me may meet with an epic, "Kill Bill" style battle from the master of Ju Knit Su : avhienda. For this I apologise in advance.

But please, don't let this deter you too much :)

Nonsense. I am sure in the right clothing you can pass for a skepchick...


:eek:

[kittynh]

I'm sorry for whomever has to drive me to the ER because it turns out I have pnuemonia...pneumonia...whatever.... maybe Nyquill overdose...

Please say it's not severe and you (with your doc's consent) can make it to TAM4?

I hope you feel better and recover quickly.

Hutch is such a stud!

[kittynh]

no no, it's a head cold. AS long as you aren't on the flight with me with me you should be fine, but I expect eveyone on the flight is going to have a head cold after 5 hours in the air with me. I'm thinking that by the first day of TAM I"ll be well on the way to recovery.

I remember the first TAM with everyone with a bad cold. That was interesting!

[treble_head]

I apologize for apologizing earlier today.

I'm sorry.

Dammit.

[Hamradioguy]

I appologize for pulling out my wallet and showing everyone a photo of my Maxim ladder truck. (Hey, you show me photos of kids, grandkids, and pets, so turnabout is fair play....)

[TJ]

I apologize for:

Not being handsome enough for most skepchicks to hit on

Not being single for those skepchicks with low standards

Shamelessly promoting my music, even for bands of mine that are no longer

Staring with incredulity and drooling over all of the presentations

Talking to you incessantly because I really want to

Getting angry (expressed with passionate speech) about how I feel religion is ruining the human race (this is an apology to my wife too, who wishes I would not ever speak about religion in her presence)

Running out of Altoids by midday Saturday

Not being afraid of telling you my opinion on any topic

For an unannounced, unplanned faux pas during TAM. This is an all purpose apology, because the TJ works in mysterious ways...*cue spooky Scooby-Doo music*

[kittynh]

I apologize for Kitten bugging TJ for a "cool job" in Afghanistan.

For pasta's sake, woman, it's AntiqueHunter, not TJ.

Can't get too upset at her. The lady's got the typhoid, after all.

[kittynh]

nyquill. way too much nyquill....

I apologize for buying kitten2 pants that are THAT tight. And then getting mad at guys when they notice. "Hey, she's underage!"

[avhienda]

I apologize for fowl.

[kmortis]

I'm apologizing for picking on each and everyone of you TAM Attendees while you're gone.

I figure Fowl will bear the brunt of my razzing, so a special apology goes out to him. I'm just bitter that I couldn't go, no real meaning behind it buddy.

To the rest, I'll make sure that in the various threads where you would normally be posting, but can't due to your TAM attendance, I'll post embarassing questions and then berate you for "not answering in a timely manner". Again, I'm a bitter little biomechanoid.

I'm sorry **pouts**

That's the best "duck and cover" I have seen in awhile...I am in awe!

Anyhow, I apologize for whatever my mad cow disease causes me to do.:mad: :cow:

[Ducky]

I apologize for fowl.


Technically I believe my mother should be doing that...


I apologise for the fact that my mother has not apologised for having me.

[Terry]

I apologise for quoting a Wings song. We're so sorry, uncle Albert.

I apologize that fowl's mother is not on this forum to apologize for fowl, and for fowl's atrocious spelling.

And I apologize for pointing out fowl's atrocious spelling.

You're getting sassier with every post. Of course, I don't really expect an apology. :)

[vbloke]

I'd like to apologise for something. I'll let you know what it is later.

[avhienda]

You're getting sassier with every post. Of course, I don't really expect an apology. :)

It's that whole "comfort level" thing. ;)

Oh, wait, should I be apologizing for being sassy?:D

[Bruce]

In particular, I will be staring at everyone's chests attempting to correlate your forum name with your real name.

Me: Yes, I'm swinging my head down that way as we speak.
