Obligatory Intro Thread!
« on: May 30, 2011, 08:29:06 PM »

What's up, dudes? I should put down a bunch of crap you don't really care about, because it's some kind of "tradition". Being realistic for fun and profit!


So I'm kind of a jack-of-all-trades kind of guy. I'm an English nerd, a gamer, a foodie, and a root beer snob. I dick around with a little bit of art, but mostly I don't have time for it these days. I'm a big indie music lover, and I'm always looking for bitchin' new bands because I tend to get bored fast. Other than that, I'm narcissistic, pedantic, sometimes an asshole, and almost always sarcastic. It's just what I do.

... because it's some kind of "tradition".

Some traditions stem from practical and even vital rules for living. For instance, shellfish may have been dangerously perishable in the days before refrigeration, causing death by ingestion, perhaps prompting some ancient cultures to impose a ban on lobster. Likewise, in forums past, posting without introduction often caused immediate and painful death by banination, perhaps prompting some ancient geeks to codify this practice in the Holy TOS.

Heh, anything'll keep if you dump enough salt on it, right?

You'll find that most people here have pretty thick skins and are hard to offend. Except that Juggstown Massacre guy. He's a little manic-depressive.

Mmmmmm, shakes.  My favourite is blueberry, followed closely by banana.

Blaming the hardware when we all know it's user error.  So are you in marketing or sales?

I think as long as it was his own eleven year-old it's cool, but killing other people's animals is like, destruction of property, right?

The ASPCA usually gets pretty riled up either way and I think there are these things called humane laws. Like animal rights laws.
