It never occured to me to try again after I did it the first time and got Bobby. I mean I had to cheat to get him! Why would I keep playing once I got my prize?
I got Eames

I appreciate people who are civil, whether they mean it or not. I think: Be civil. Do not cherish your opinion over my feelings. There's a vanity to candor that isn't really worth it. Be kind. Richard Greenberg

Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth. Charles A. Dana (1819 - 1897)
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

Frankly, I have no clue what you guys are talking about- - I'm just enjoying the show! If this has anything to do with the game, I got Robert once
It's a game on the LOCI website to see who you'd be the perfect partner for. Bobby is everyone's obvious fave but Eames and Wheeler are getting a lot of love too. Logan is getting left out! I haven't seen yet where anyone got him!

No Kidding!! But how did you cheat to get him?
I don't know if its really cheating. Its just obvious for most of the answers which ones Goren would most likely answer, so I chose those answers. I guess I could do it again and answer them the way I really think--but that is almost guaranteed to get me someone other than Bobby! I am not anywhere near a cerebral as he is.

So here is how pathetic I am. I raced home, took a shower, and started some mac and cheese to have while I watched my show. I get it at 7:00 because I have satellite. BUT I discovered I had a voice mail from a really old friend who I haven't talked to in several years. The thought ran through my mind that if I called back right then (it was about 6:45) I was going to miss LOCI--at least the beginning. So I considered waiting until after it was over to call. But she lives in Michigan and I think they are 3 hours ahead of us, so that would put it at 11:00 for her--too late. So I sucked it up, made sure my VCR was set (well, I love my friends but I'm not crazy!), and made the call. It was about 7:30 when we finished and I had to wait anxiously until 8:00 to rewind the tape and watch the show. You know this all seems pretty silly now that I am seeing it in print--but I really thought I exercised GREAT will power to put a call to my friend ahead of a brand-new LOCI episode (and a G/E episode at that!). Delayed gratification--I hear its good for you!
Oh yes--I am glad I made the call. It was good to catch up with her and her husband, their kids and their grandkids.

I think I can add my resounding YES to the question of whether we (the royal we) are pathetic for caring so much about a TV series (however cool it is) and its characters but.... do I care.... well, no.
I think we each of us can add our own kind of patheticness to the world and if this is my spot to do this then so be it. I for one am going to give in wholehaertedly to pathetic-dom (that is if I can get to type the word correctly one go once more).
Pathetic is fun and as long as you know you are you are in no danger of being hurt by the silly remarks of those who do not understand your particular patheticness. I am sure they all have their secret patheticness to add to this world... I mean, really who would collect small empty sugar bags of all the placed you go to have a coffee and sticks them in an album..... oh... hang on that's me as well.
mmmm

Only thing that I could think is that maybe it fill some kind of need. I don't know. To each his own. The comments are what scare me..."I wish I could help you, Bobby." and the like.
