[Fedoras of Salvation] - White Knights ITT

[hamfactorial]

I include no porn in the challenge, but that's optional (though recommended). I got to 30 and liked the results so much that I kept going.

[zemanjaski]

I wanted to succeed in the challenge so much I have stopped being lazy and actually bothered to travel when I get the call ~ it wasn't like I was going to sleep easy anyway.

[hamfactorial]

First world problems, James. "This girl wants to fuck but I have to drive 20 minutes to see her."

[zemanjaski]

Its closer to 25, thank you very much. And shes always up for more than once, which means I am tired.

So yeah, you know, its not all upside

[Helios]

I'd like to note that the ham challenge is harder when you don't have the time to find a woman. Speaking of which, it's day 1 again, though I've been running/working out every day so the failure didn't seem to phase me as much. I'll get to 30 one of these days.

Z: All I'm hearing is "Oh no, I have to pleasure her twice???? Poor me "

As redthirst would say: ;p

[zemanjaski]

Its more about the journey than the individual benchmarks.

[Helios]

I am finding it much easier to resist. I mean, thrice in a month is a hell of a lot less frequent than usual. Getting there. Agree that the benefits are numerous.

[hamfactorial]

P;

Masturbating is perfectly fine when done safely.

[Helios]

And what exactly do you mean by safely?

[hamfactorial]

I don't have to define the rules, I leave it up to the discretion of the challenge moderators.

[Helios]

Aren't you, the progenitor of the challenge, the sole authority of it's rules and regulations?

[Dane]

I think it's ok for Ham to use the term masturbation, since as a man, he has the reclamation defense. If he were a gender who could not masturbate, it would be a cardable offense for him to use.

Man...I screwed that up, I think. But I had fun with it.

[hamfactorial]

Reclamasturbation defense.

[Dane]

Reclamasturbation defense.

Heh...you said clam.

[hamfactorial]

Huheueheueheueuaaheuaheuheu

[Dane]

I guess I did too, but when you make a portmanteau of reclamation and masturbation...clam just stands out more.

[Jack]

Reclamasturbation defense.

Laughed at that harder than I should have. Read it out loud, now I can't stop. Dammit.
Oh, and happy birthday, Z.

[Helios]

So many roflcopters

I wonder if i can somehow end up writing clam on my discrete test tomorrow....challenge accepted.

[Kazekirimaru]

Reclamasturbation defense.

I laughed so hard I failed the challenge.

@Helios, RE:EDH -I have my Kaalia deck posted in the Command Tower forum if you're interested.

RE:Ham Challenge - Since my girl decided to leave my some dirty pics, I'm now back to Day 1. I'd actually lost count for the second time anyway with the whole Clan Exodus and whatnot. It just seems that whenever I make it past a week, life just becomes a blur.

By the way, the dirty pics weren't actually of my girl. They were of redthirst. She said she was able to get them from Tauron Nox....

This seems like a conspiracy in the making.

Tell me about it.

And, I know this is going to sound gross, but do you know what happens when you don't beat off for like, forever, and then you drop some fucking loads? I could only think of that line from Spider-Man -"Go web!"

[zemanjaski]

Its actually pretty funny..."Surprise!"

Yeah, I am the worst.

[Khaospawn]

It took multiple towels to clean up...

Hey guys, as suggested by some of you in the other thread, do any of you have IT skills? Basically we have the new domain diestoremoval.com bought a while ago, but I must admit that up to now I haven't been able to bind it to the server IP (due to lack of knowledge, my background is in general engineering). Anyone capable (and willing) to give me a hand on this? Something like handling the bind9 protocol in linux(debian), tweaking the apache server httpd.conf file, etc... I've been trying to learn about the bind protocol, but progress has been slow due to a busy work schedule. I do have a feeling its a trivial stuff to do for someone who has done it before. I have set up a dummy forum on another server I maintain, I could give full access to test t there.

In any case, thanks for your help!

[hamfactorial]

My Spidey sense is tingling!

... In her mouth

admin:

I have a lot of Linux experience, but I've never set up BIND. I can help out with Apache though, and other console stuff if needed.

Is your aim that bad?

The "Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?" scene is one of my all-time comedy scenes.

"Why are the 'Style' sections stuck down all over the floor? Do you have a dog or something? A little chow?" "No Allen"

"Is that a raincoat?" "Yes it is!"

Its just hilarious.

[Speedbump]

I just realized I'm 24 points shy of being able to play in the World Magic Cup Qualifiers That sucks...

I was one win in the Modern PTQ away from trying to qualify for 'Straya. I didn't do too badly for playing a few months of the season.

Thanks Jerry!

I am at work! Celebrations have been delayed until the weekend

Zeman, happy birthday man. I'll shout you a brew or two if you have
time to on Saturday. (Assuming I don't scrub out at the PTQ)

I'm testing the Rw deck I'll take to the PTQ all day today, and most of tomorrow. I'm going to do the smart thing, and not play FNM when I have to be up at 7am on Saturday. Sleep is good, after all.

Actually, it still seems to be state of mind. I have been woman-less for well over a year (my God...I think it may be closer to two...) but the porn and fapping this is still, honestly, an addiction thing. I really didn't think about it 'til Master Hamwise brought the challenge online, but once I did, I recognized the pattern of behavior. Since closing that particular door, the urge left along with the habit (after the first week or so of obvious frustration). Of course,
things like redthirst's bit of good-natured sabotage over in the restricted area get my attention, but I feel like I have a choice rather than being a slave to impulse. Kinda like walking past the donuts that someone brought to work the other day.

The other important impact, that I think is all to the good, is getting out of the habit of objectifying women. If you stop and think about porn as an industry at all in the context of any woman that you actually care about, it's nauseating to think about what it does to women. I know that there is an elective side to the industry that focuses away from self-destruction, but some of the foreign (to the US) markets are just scary. The mindset of women as receptacles can hose relationships...it's one thing to share in deep, healthy passion and debauchery, but another to let women become something less than individual beings.

Wow...didn't mean to come off so serious...I think I just learned a few things about my own shifting head.
Ham, you are really upending my life here...........thanks.

[zemanjaski]

Its not just about the pleasures of conformity...its also a personal mission statement about the band itself! Hey Paul!

Get less excited Khaos. A true professional takes time to aim. If you can take time to calculate a board state a few turns ahead, you can take time to aim. Have you learned nothing?

My hand is like a Lightning Mauler bonded to my penis! Help!

[zemanjaski]

You win the day. Burst out laughing like a jackass at work again.

[hamfactorial]

This thread is the fucking best.

Also, it's really nice to be able to swear constantly. I curse a lot in real life (and on stream) so this place lets me adopt a more stream-of-consciousness approach to posting.

@photodyer: I noticed the same pattern! I had a girl and I was still yanking it daily. I think it affected the way I viewed her, and would have done even worse if I was single and keeping up the jerking habit.

But now I'm better. Right? Right? :bursts into tears:

[LP, of the Fires]

My hand is like a Lightning Mauler bonded to my penis! Help!

I wish you weren't all the way across the country mate, or I would visit you. That was the best thing I've heard all week. That and Alex's comment about potentially streaming with Z and myself. I just imagined shit that would happen and teared up.

You guys are the best.

Most of all redthirst.

Fags.
