this brings me to another point. there should be an expiry date on threads linked to in "REEEEPOOOOST" posts. if the original thread is older than 2007 or so, it doesn't count.

Yes, but did you watch a torrent of it on your laptop while listening through your "8 channel synthesized" gaming earphones, pausing only when the pizza guy (whom you did not tip) came? Did he accept your on-line discount code anyway?

We've seen this trend with the thread topics you've started today.

My threads are golden. You just don't appreciate their true value.

No, was semi-drunk and with a girl, so I guess I lose. :( Besides, I always tip the pizza guy, wouldn't want him to pee on my lawn or anything.

Well, I currently work for Tektronix.

I have been playing with computers in one form or another since I was 5.

Been building my own systems since I was 13, and that was the DOS days.

I go the Rifts sites and argue about how D&D 3rd edition is better than AD&D 2nd, then I go to D&D sites and harrass them about how Palladium is better.

I prefer pornography with pale chicks wearing glasses.

I played Magic and quit, but only because it got too expensive. When Microprose made a Windows version I spooged myself.

First time I had sex I was 19 and paid for it.
But after that I had a fuck-buddy for a year and she was pretty kinky, so that might cancel it out.

Lasik has been out for a long time but I still prefer my glasses. When I was in the Navy I could have had it done for free. Chose not to.

I'm not much into gadgets, but these days even cool people have a lot of gadgets so I guess thats not a good rule anymore.

Link? :p
And that game was freakin' sweet. I'm pretty sure if it was installed right now, I'd still play it.

You're probably right.
Between Boot Camp and working as a deck ape for 3 years I was actually in really good shape. Thats how I got the fuck buddy.

Just because you want to make good money now makes you a nerd? Ha.
