Bonjour!
Since blogging about my real life won't generate much interest unless you're a stay-at-home parent and think that baby poop is a big event, I decided to write about GF life instead, hence the gfisms series. Enjoy!

GFisms 27: POSTers
Posted 03-05-2009 at 09:10 AM by ysabel
It's another month in GF town.
Last month started with a bang. Mayor Rick organised a contest related to inviting foreigners to become residents. The town was sure that OCB will again display his special talent in luring people to town; however this time, one also needs luck to win because the winning residents will be selected via a raffle draw of entries at the end of the contest period.
Valentine's Day came and went, and the usual happy people are happy and the broken hearted ones remained that way. Three weeks later, we see what would have been a nice post-VDay gig: something to do with a <3 in one of the town billboards that is whored, er, used by the city hall to compensate town donors. These people get to put almost anything they want in that space which guarantees visibility (it being one of the busiest places in town).
Another event last month was Mafia! I remember the first time I participated in this and the analogy I've made regarding GF town and the mafia within. It would still apply today except the gangs seem to be dead these days, with the exception of my group which technically is not a gang, but a sorority with guys who aren't afraid to deal with PMS.
Lessons to learn from latest Mafia:
Post-Mafia feeling is similar to a post-adrenaline depression. No more excitement of hiding, no more guessing, no more reading of Bagels' math/statistics nor Tom's wordy posts and colorful graphs.
What? We need to go back to regular work at the posting factory? To be honest, I barely recognised the factory one time because OCB and Buster turned the whole place into a sports stadium.
Then I remembered I had this to write.
A conversation with Tan (merci) inspired me to incorporate another photo gallery for this entry. Here are eight movie posters. Have fun deciphering the identities of the GF town members (all active) in them.

Lessons to learn from latest Mafia:
1. Sarcasm can get you effed. So can honesty. Only absolute lies are full of win.When Mafia was finally over, it seemed like there was suddenly nothing to do in town.
2. No matter who you are and what you appear to be, if you have the luck of Kong, chances are you'd be offed the first day.
3. If the game seems to lack a crazy person, it's because Dolce got a special role and didn't want to die early. Coincidentally, his cop delusion in the previous Mafia became a reality in this new one.
4. At the end of the play, people will compare the sizes of their zizi. It's a tradition.
5. Inactivity, unless it's your strategy, automatically ruins the game. Modkills = fail.

Bang! You go girl. 
I couldn't think of anyone else to put as Superman. 
I knew this guy was suffering from identity crisis. 
He can really rock it with his guitar.
