Exactly what I'm wondering.

Oh God, my head hurts.

:eek:

AFAIK

PsychoAndy = Andy, brother

PAB = David, brother

I think 90% of the time I've conversed with PsychoAndy it's been with David (PAB).

I know David is the one that's constantly riding your ass about your spending/credit/etc.

And that's the one I've talked to...

So I must not be truly talking to PsychoAndy.

Freaky.

You're wrong there buddy.

You're the only one I let ride my ass.

Gittyup cowboy!

:p

Got a hot deal on any listerine for your brain? I could use some right now.

haha. yeah.. like in thread where someone's dad bought a new car and was bragging about it (nothing wrong with that. i wish i had a new car :()... after congratulating the guy, he started grilling him with such questions like leased or bought, APR, how much he worked the dealer in the price, the end price (he go checks edmunds).. and then asks (this is the My dad got a new car... thread) if his dad "really got all the options or was just saying that" cuz i guess he didnt believe he could get the maxima gle with all options for the price he says..

im like, jeez dude, why would he lie and why would it matter.. just congratuate the guy on his dad's new car he might get a chance to drive someday.. no need to grill him on the price and everything.. :p

Its not that I didnt believe he could get it with all the options, I was just checking how invoice is when you have a fully loaded maxima.

Origins: To the best of my knowledge, the individual who created the PsychoAndy account is quite dead and packed away in a box somewhere. The entity known as PsychoAndy's Bro took up the reins to the account in his place. Ignoring the question of foul play, let's move on...

Proposal: Existing under the identity of another is no way to live in this proud, free and yummy-tasting nation of ours. Perhaps all PsychoAndy's Bro needs is a nudge in the direction of change. That is where this thread would come in. Here, I'll even get us started.

PsychoAndy's Bro New Identity, Take One

Hmm...immediately in my mind's eye I fashioned the NEW PsychoAndy's Bro using garments from the GAP online page I already had open. Making a few quick picks I quickly rendered this artist's impression of the new PAB:

TA-DA! (Footwear optional)

PAB? Yes? No? Some minor tweaking is of course possible. For the rest, I've also set up a template of template of PAB for your uses. LET LOOSE THE DOGS OF WAR!

Ok, I'm awake now. Time to update.

The Canadians.....why didnt I suspect them earlier...DAMN DAMN DAMN. I knew something was wrong when their rapid advancments in zamboni engineering exceeded U.S. technology. And those Camaro fabrication facilities too! It was a ruse! I cant believe it! Foiled by the Canadians!

And think of all the resources expended in order to discover this travesty of AT nefology! 3 litres of gas, THE tank, 4 hockey sticks, a moose and a meter of rope. Buy why? The eternal question still beckons. Are candadians so bored that they have to take time out of their day to investigate the posting activites of the self proclaimed ferengi race?

Onto the topic at hand. I believe explaining my actions requires activation of my patent pending "Mode: Linuxboy" technology. *puts on completly charred tinfoil hat* (BTW, /sarcasm THANK YOU hotchic.../sarcasm) I truly believe that the dualistic nature of our respective personas truly exemplifies the "Psycho" accoutrument of the "PsychoAndy" handle. Admittedly, it is initally hard to understand, however the mere concept of adding another persona to create a truly well rounded "Psycho" character is neccessary to maintain psychotic homeostasis. The adding of a splash of schitzophrenia really adds something to ATOT. *takes off completely charred tinfil hat while muttering incomprehensible curses to hotchic in cantonese* BTW, hotchic: :p

Oh, sully......I am shocked and appalled that you would insinuate that I would wear clothing from the gap. Every ferengi knows that Eddie Bauer is where its at. $19.99 polo shirts marked down to $14.99 stackable with a 20% off coupon. 100% cotton and very comfortable. I can wear something eddie bauer every day for over 2 weeks because of their promos now. Fashionable, yet frugal.

Also, I am perturbed that you would think I would pack my brother into boxes marked "MCO RUSH". Every self respecting ferengi knows that UPS ground is the cheapest. I'm not spending money to fly his sorry ass southwest airlines air freight. BTW, why would I get a rush job? That costs more money. Besides, Orlando is an hour away. I'm not driving an hour for him. I can have a teamster pick it up here for $4 extra.

Although I am flattered at the graphics (Look at my hips! And my thighs! I havent worn a 30W in YEARS!), that looks nothing like me. And look at that hair! If I could only get my free homemade haircuts like that....:( Oh, and footwear: $50 timberlands with a 30% off footlocker coupon. That works for me. That or the $20 eddie bauer loafers, on sale this month.

As far as my nefjacking of the PA account goes, I make an attempt to assist rookie hot dealers in HD. Then, I was hit upside the head and stumbed in some type of stupor into OT. I fell headfirst into the cesspool of dementia and oddly, I kinda enjoyed it :D. I find it marginally disturbing that my aim list of AT people is about three times as long as my personal aim buddy list. After the 2002 nefmeet, I decided to use -PAB to sign all my posts insinutating a differentiation between myself and PA. Just because yakko and aphex confuse easily. So thats it. Everyone on AT now knows the story of the -PAB handle. Went from around 15 people to 90,000 overnight. Someone add it to the FAQ. In 6 months, we'll see threads titled: What does PAB mean? a la Russ and his trademarked NCNE.

pab = slacker.

and also, i'm jealous becuase he has like 10 dells sitting at his house and a vending machine.
*sigh* And I thought I could register PAB and login as him, so my brother would post without knowing a damn thing. But outside intervention was inevitable. I think it's time for ATOT Storytime, to explain this quagmire of double identities and the duality of man. Or something.

It was a nice day out, and I crusied around in OT and HD. I usually looked around for hot deals, like the Netgear RT314 Router deal a year or 2 ago, where I got PAID to keep a router. Anyways, I made a pretty penny off of that, around 500 bucks. My brother, impressed at my ability to sit on my ass and make money, got on here. And that's when it started. At first, during 2001, he was relatively complacent. He just lurked for hot deals, like the Palm Reseller Program, or where he could find 10 off 10 staples deals. He started posting on HD, commenting on deals, putting in his 2 cents, and finding them, to make money and buy cool stuff.

And then, he moved to ATOT, much like a parasite, and much to my dismay. He lurked a bit...and then started posting and talking to people under the guise of me. The only people on AT who have talked to me (PsychoAndy) on AIM would be Kelvrick, Kev1n, and 911Paramedic. The rest, like Ross, HotChic, baffled2, et al, have talked to my brother, PAB. So, during this summer, we both posted. I posted in political and stupid (arguably the same) threads, while he often neffed it up and posted in HD/Ebay/Money/Paypal threads. Then, we went to meet AphexII and yakko, and we had a video, which prompted my brother to use PAB at the end. FYI, I'm the 1st one you see, and he's the one that's yelling at AphexII about how he could've saved money. And after that, I kinda died off, due to me chatting from the evening to the morning with people on AIM. Then, since school started early (August 8), i have school (3 AP classes, senioritis, not a good combination), and trying to converse in my free innerweb time. Not to mention the effect that SomethingAwful's Forums have on me.

In summation, I = not dead in Dell boxes with "MCO" labels strewn all over them. I have school, random internet people, and SA to go to. Consequently, that leaves my bro free rein of my account :( I stopped caring long ago. I should come back here more often (to the dismay of many people), but some of the threads are pretty damn stupid. Oh well.

And finally, we don't have 10 dells...yet.

So.. How do we really know you're not PAB just pretending to be the, uh, real PsychoAndy?

Maybe PAB's gotten to Russ like he got to his brother! If so, watch out, there's no telling which of us he'll come after next. :p

Has the time come for PsychoAndy's Bro to pick a name for himself?

yes... why can't he just use PAB for his name?... then again i don't think i've seen psycoandy post in a while, i think it's just been his bro...
