Farbodd calls me at 3:45 yesterday to ask if i would like to go to Talerico's. He honestly did that. He said he would be over in 15 minutes TO PICK ME UP! Now, that's suspicious not for the least in that if Farbodd is anything like Josh Friedman, he would go out of his way NOT to give you a ride! So being tipped off by the sheer obviousness of the situation, i decided to turn his trap against him. 15 minutes of frantic looking for a squirting device and then hiding by the side of the house later, a shiny blue car pulls up. Someone gets out and goes to my door the ring the doorbell. I then see farbod still in the car and decide that whoever had REALLY planned this attack was at least somewhat clever, as to use farbodd as a decoy. I then proceeded to charge at the person waiting for me to greet them at my front door. i didn't know who it would be. I charged, gave a fierce battle cry, and squirted tomer hoter with copious amounts of water from an industrial squirt bottle thingy. He was unarmed! among other things he yelled, he mentioned being neutral! EPIPHANY!
wwwwwwwHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAm!FARBODD WAS THE ASSASSIN!
After having pounced on tomer with cunning speed, i then charged down my elevated driveway in hopes of still catching Farbodd unsuspecting. It worked! He was in his car utterly shocked! He hurried his rushed defense and got out of his car with a water bottle. I, with my crudely efficient weapons deftly trounced him with my rapid precision strikes. Farbood and i then would continue battle it out for a few more seconds before he gave up and grumpily admitted defeat. But wait!!
TOMER WAS WATCHING ME THE WHOLE TIME!
wwwwwwwwwwWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAM!!! Tomer never saw my shots connect with Farbodd! He never knew the confrontation had been decided in my favor! After it was all over, he said "i'm contesting this shot. i was watching you the whole time devin, and you got hit".
I mentally stammered at his seemingly lunatic thinking. 'BUT YOU NEVER WATCHED ME HIT FARBODD!' I screamed in my head. I was astounded at this turn of events. Amazing! In the space of half a minute, i had thwarted the hostile actions of two dimwitted foes! THEY ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY COULD FOOL ME! I had acted swiftly, decisively, and with cunning unparalleled in Irish history!
But the self-proclaimed "Neutral Judge", he was contesting my defense! He had not spared one eye for watching my exchange with Farbodd, but instead watched only if i got hit. Is this fair?
It has now been ruled by Devin Gaffney (an honorable, well groomed man) that i have been liquefied. Is this justice?
That is not what i TRUELY care about.
For the sake of the game itself, which is bigger than all of us, i shall not press this further. I feel that the injustice done to me could inspire a civil war within the game itself. I do not think highly enough of myself to be able to justify being a game-ruiner. It would go against the principles of our beautiful competition: fair and clever play. Farbodd and Tomer's play was neither fair nor clever.
