FUCK OFF BALLBAN! THIS PLACE IS NO LONGER FOR YOU!
Speaking of which, How would you like to be Vice Dictator of the Oppo's State of Brunei when the oppobros stage a coup?

Aw nuts.

And I'm not one for power. I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Why did "Mr. Roboto" just start playing in my head....oh, i know why...because I'm weird.

Yes you do. Embezzle funds and purchase hypercar.

Because it's a damn good song, that's why. You're not weird, you just have good taste.

You know how Japanese broadcasters always say 'hai' as an acknowlegement or whatever... well, whenever I watch SuperGT races, I can't help but picture one guy calling the racing action while the other guy just sits there smiling, waving to passers-by and saying 'hi' to them, completely oblivious to the action on track.

Does that make me racist?

Too bad. As Benevolent Dictator for Life of The People's State of Brunoppo, and all the power that comes with, I hear by appoint you Vice Benevolent Dictator for Life of The People's State of Brunoppo, yadda yadda yadda, 'til death do us part. Congrats! Your're the only staffer in my cabinet!

That's the thing. I have a guilt complex, mostly because I've been a victim of embezzlement myself. Any rider of the MTA is.

When you spend $112 a month on a metrocard, and the subway is still awful, you become an anti-corruption campaigner pretty quickly.

And for that, I make you Chair of the Ministry of Money and Financial Shit.

I don't think so? But I'm not really an expert. I'd defer to someone who is.

Nevermind. That quote gets you stripped of power. I hearby sentence you to 100 years in a labor camp, making vinyl pressings of GOOD music.

Sometimes I pause and wonder if the power went to my head…..if I betrayed the people I promised to give this country back to……then I hop in my 928 State Limo and run out of fucks to give.

Hi Uly! I'm doing okay. A bit sleepy, however that could be the chamomile and mint tea I've been drinking. How about yourself?

S'up Ballaban?! I'm hanging out in a random hotel in Eastern SD. It's really really exciting. (might be the beer talking).

Can I have a 928 GTR?


Kinja'd!!! Your boy, BJR > Manuél Ferrari
05/06/2014 at 23:07

Kinja'd!!!1

No. Nobody is allowed to have 928s except me. You can have a slant nose though


Kinja'd!!! Manuél Ferrari > Your boy, BJR
05/06/2014 at 23:09

Kinja'd!!!0

Can the slant nose be cocaine white with a red interior? And can the turbos have extra boost so that the car's heart will run as fast as those who snort coke off the huge ass whale tail?

Really? Very little other than beer and wide open scenic places... some nice roads... but I've got a rental focus hatch. It's ok. I'm enjoying the beer and the drives. And the people.

I'm a fan of wide open spaces. (Being from AZ, I guess I'm used to them).


Kinja'd!!! Michael Ballaban > Gamecat235
05/06/2014 at 23:11

Kinja'd!!!1

That actually sounds kind of nice. I've been cooped up in New York for a while, and I've been missing wide open spaces a lot lately.

And I don't mean to nanny, but please don't enjoy the beer and the drives simultaneously. You'll end up in a ditch somewhere, and then what will your mother say?


Kinja'd!!! Your boy, BJR > Manuél Ferrari
05/06/2014 at 23:14

Naturally. My first movement a Dictator For Life is to have the forests cut down and replaced with coca trees.

This is a very smart financial decision. I support it as Chieftan of Financial Matters

Oh, I'm ridiculously paranoid in that capacity, More than one beer at a sitting and I'm walking around for a couple of hours or getting a ride with someone else. I had one at the local bar and then picked up a couple for the hotel.

But I truly appreciate, and echo, the sentiment. =)


Kinja'd!!! Your boy, BJR > Manuél Ferrari

After 13 years, 2 life saving surgeries, blindness, 4 moves, and partial paralysis, he earned his rest. It just always sucks.

Mine has had 2 surgeries. And I know 12 or 13 will come sooner than later. It freaks me out.
