gossip.gifI heard it was okay to post your grade as long as it wasn't in the 'Round 4' thread.

 

Yep, and even so, I think since Red broke the original "disqualification rule" with no punishment, that each team should ethically get the same treatment.

 

Let's say Ares comes home drunk as a shunk (big change) and posts a grade by accident, then his "Red Freebie" is used up.

I didn't see an official amendment to the rules regarding the Red Freebie Caveat 27_laughing.gif, but you'll notice UV's update to the grading rules now makes it out of bounds to post a grade in any grade contest related thread prior to the grading deadline, not just in the book's thread....

Hey, if I get all hopped up on goofballs and erroneously post a grade, a la Red, and get deducted a point when he got a slap on the wrist.... well let's just say you don't want to around these here parts.

 

There's nothing I detest more than two sets of standards...

893frustrated.gif Is this why people look at me funny when I talk about getting hopped up on goofballs?!?!? Does no one appreciate the classics anymore?!?!

 

(And where the hell did "hopped up on goofballs" come from, anyway?)

Who knows, but I got it from The Simpsons, when Chief Wiggum says it to Marge.

It seems like it's an old "Hank Hill-ism" too, from the Beavis & Butt-head days, perhaps? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Hopped up on goofballs was a term from the 60's.

 

'Hopped' was initially an expression used to refer to someone who used opiates

(a hophead) but gradually came to be used to refer to anyone who was

high on an illegal drug.

 

Goof balls were barbiturates but eventually referred to any mind-altering drugs.

Well, the drugs/barbituates and "hopped up" parts are common knowledge, but I assumed it was a catch-phrase from sometime in the 60's, and had no idea who started it.

 

Kinda like "Keep on Truckin'".. confused-smiley-013.gif
