I don't remember the terms of that idiotic thing. What was it?

He gave away all of his Briere stuff in return for not coming with us.

I have the distinct pleasure to announce the first trade in both the Stay Pufts and Sexpos history. After hours of negotiations, and many moving parts, we have come to a fantastic agreement.

Going to the Sexpos will be Rod the Bod Brindamour(coach), Paul Holmgren(GM), Team Choice 1(Team Lair/HQ/Base), and Team Choice 2(Team Mythological Creature). In return the Stay Pufts will receive Bruce Boudreau (coach), Danny motherf***ing Briere(GM), Team Choice 1 (Team Chef), and Team Choice 2 (Olympic Athlete).

Each and every moving piece of this trade is vital to the happiness of the franchise owners.

I'm going to interpret the Team Cartoonist as comic strip related as well because, well, I just like that better. I used to be an avid reader of the comics section in the Inquirer, back when newspapers were a thing, and I'll still peruse them online. Forget the obituaries and politics and local Jim Bobs getting arrested.......the worst consequence of the decline of papers (likely to lead to the fall of western civilization) is that empty nostalgia hole of poring over the funny papers in ink.

Spiel done. Pick time.

The Honolulu Ghibli select as our Team Cartoonist.......Patrick McDonnell

McDonnell is the writer and cartoonist of MUTTS. You know the comics you like when they're the first ones you seek out. I adore the animation style (at times it's wordless), the conciseness, and it's an animal lovers dream of a strip. Modern comics naturally lend themselves to sarcasm, cynicism, satire. And I like that too. But MUTTS is good hearted through and through, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's a hard task balancing the smiles with the feels, while avoiding the schmaltzy dreck.

By Cap's definition of the category, this is not a valid pick , though I'm happy to share Larson (I own Far Side).

*I'm sorry if this forces a re-pick.

Apologies, CF88, I searched for Larson and didn't think to look for The Far Side. Let me give this a try: would it be acceptable to choose Pauline Baynes as our Team Cartoonist? I don't know where the line sits between cartoonist and illustrator. Ms. Baynes was the first illustrator for C.S Lewis's Chronicles Of Narnia, and some of J.R.R Tolkien's works. She illustrated over 200 books and worked as a commercial artist as well.

From marketsplash.com:

"During World War 2, she made maps and marine charts for the Royal Navy, which gave her the experience she'd need later when illustrating for Tolkien and Lewis, creating maps for Tolkien's Middle Earth and Lewis's Narnia.

"Baynes' illustration style is highly imaginative, and she had a particular talent for making her artworks appear lively and animated. Her style was perfectly suited to fantasy, fairytales, and children's books."

Incidentally, by rereading the description of this category, I may have unearthed another conflict. I chose Walt Disney as our Team Director (pre-1940s) in the Directors draft.

Holy pick-tipping Toe. Chill.

I needed to show respect. I'm sorry.

The official cartoonist of the Methgators is:

Charles "Charlie" Gustav Thorson (29 August 1890 – 7 August 1966) was a Canadian political cartoonist, character designer, children's book author and illustrator. Thorson is best known as the man who designed an early version of the then yet unnamed Bugs Bunny

Besides Bugs, he’s also credited with the first drawing of Elmer Fudd and, while at Disney, Snow White. And now, we’ll see if Mr Brockmire has anything to add.

What the f***, this crap again? Well you know, speaking of rabbits, this one time at the Playboy mansion I was shooting craps and splitting an 8 ball with Pete Rose, when these 2 bunnies dropped to their knees and, without even a how do you do, started nibbling…

AND THATS ENOUGH OF THAT! Sorry, BiggE’s gonna just turn off that mic

and simply welcome Mr Thorson to Methgators Nation!

Come wow us, @Asnito , ya wascally wabbit!

1. Always been loopholing’.
2. Bernie can do whatever he wants.
3. No pick tipping.

Oh right, now I remember. Firstly, you can f*** off with all that stupid shit. Secondly, if you want to trade Rod and Paul for Bruce and Briere, that would be fine. Let me know or f*** off.

The problem was, in fact, a dud hard drive. Replaced it and the PC works perfectly again.

Already got it back too, thanks to the guys speedy heroics, but now I need to somehow re-install everything and change all my settings back to what they were.

I’ve lost all by Chrome bookmarks, somehow, which is devastating. Then on top of that, Adobe is saying my product key is invalid.

I’m about to lose my shit.

That's a great alternative, Bernardo, and don't worry about your director pick. @Hollywood Cannon understands that you are allowed such things.

Can I change everything about how you do computering?

I was fine with that but @Young Sandwich insisted on the rest. It’s out of my hands.
