I don't know WHAT is wrong with bolo players these days. Boloers just seem to have forgotten all the old trix. Boss says don't play bolo during work? Boss says don't play bolo after hours? What do you do? Quit your job? Stop playing bolo? Play bolo and risk your job? NONONONONONONON. The solution to your dilemna is so obvious... Get your boss hooked on bolo. Imagine your reviews!!! Bonussed for "Coming through during crunch time" (Boss dropped 4 pbs but you covered his ass by killing both opponents and picking them up) and "Exceptional performance during difficult product transition" (boss moved from AppleTalk to I-Net) Raises for "Consistency in execution" (double takes) "team play" (deccing triple bunnies) "on the spot expertise" (killing lgm) "willingness to enhance the work of others" (didn't mind allying with your boss even when he suxed) "PitBull-like determination" (Base pounding) "Commitment to the bottom line" (pbwars) "Innovative ideas" (pb massaging) and generally helping to insure the "company" to stayed out of the "red". Maybe even keys to the executive washroom for "Excellence above and beyond the call of duty" (boss fuxed up and dropped his corner but you quick spiked the other two corners hard to pull it thru). Imagine, better peeing thru bolo!!!! mmmmmmmmm, peeing --xav as a side note, if you see a newbie playing as "DEATHTANKSPINDLER", go easy on him - I'm gonna be graduating soon.
