Aside from Lacerda's "Mad Bitches, Disgruntled Hoes" I think Twista's "Like a 24" takes the cake for the most ridicilous rap lyrics. Ever. Period.

Like A 24

(Chorus: Twista)
Make that ass roll like a 24,
Let me see you make that ass roll like a 24,
Shorty make that ass roll like some 24's,
Let me see you make that ass roll like a 24,

(Girl) I can make my ass roll like a 24,
I can make my ass roll like a 24,
I can make my ass roll some 24's,
I can make my ass roll like a 24,

(Twista) Now drop, Now drop it to tha floor,
Spin it like some stop-and-go's,
Drop it, Drop it to tha floor,
Spin it like some stop-and-go's,
Roll like a 24...
Let me see you make that ass roll like a 24...

(Twista)
Now I can tell from back in tha days when we was shortys in tha hood, (Hood)
That you was gon' grow to be thick as hell and lookin' good, (Good)
Now you 21 and them thighs ain't no punk, (Punk)
Lookin' fine as hell like a penny jumped up in tha trunk, (Trunk)
Make a nigga give you what you want, put that ass on dubs,
Feelin' when you get tha party crunk, feelin' when you twork it in tha clubs,
Feelin' when you get down on tha floor, love when you get down on tha low,
Feelin' wanna jack that ass, wanna bump and get tha hoe, get tha hoe,
Baby I just got some 24's and I love to watch 'em spin, (Spin)
So let me see you make that ass roll like my rims, (Rims)
Feelin' like them Omega Jordans, pop that booty for my squad,
Work that phatty, throw it hard, roll it like a loaf and hard...


(Chorus)

(T.I.)
You already know hoes down pimps up,
When pimpin' step up in tha house put yo bitch up,
I got a Remi bottle instead of a pimp cup,
It shine like a summer day wit' my wrist up,
She wanna wave now 'cuz my nigga Twista,
Dissed her then bounced wit' her sister,
I tell her keep her head down and her hips up,
You can keep the pussy I'ma tear them pretty lips up,
Let that ass roll like 24's on a big truck,
And ya g-string let it bounce when tha beat bang,
Make it drop like them cars in tha g-thang,
Pull up ya skirt, work it like tha hood keep sayin'...

(Chorus)

(Liffy Stokes)
Come on shorty make that ass pop, drop it like a rag-top,
Shake it like its bomb dro, stir it up like ready roc,
I gotta pocket full of tens and dubs...
I'm up in tha club, drunk as fuck, stuck, lookin' for love,
They lookin' for thugs... And I got to admit, guys we trust,
A lil' game, a lil' fame, I'll have 'em piling in the church bus,
pumping on bomb dro, straight up to tha condo,
Open tha bus doors, head up to tha twelfth floor,
It's 'bout to crack now, layin' on my back now,
She shook one cheek at a time, then dropped it back down,
I'm goin' through a thang, I never knew tha name,
All I know is when she got low, A nigga lost it man...

(Outro: Twista)
You got my thang on swole... (Back that ass up)
Girl, you got my thang on swole... (Now make that ass drop)
You got my thang on swole... (Make that ass bounce)
Girl, you got my thang on swole... (Now make that ass drop)

Drop somethin', shake somethin'...
Work somethin', twork somethin'...
Break somethin', shake somethin'...
Work somethin', twork somethin'...

Break it, shake it, work it, twork it,
Break it, shake it, work it, twork it,
Break it, shake it, work it, twork it,
Break it, shake it, work it, twork it,
Break it, shake it, work it, twork it,

Shorty let me see you make tha left side move... (Side move)
Now let me see you make tha right side move... (Side move)
Now let me see you make both sides move... (Sides move)
Now baby bounce (bounce), bounce (bounce), bounce (bounce), bounce (bounce)...

HOW THE FUCK DO THESE GUYS COME UP WITH THIS SHIT?

It occured to me that we're all Geeks here. I mean, face it. We're posting on a forum instead of going outside and being "hip" with the rest of the human beings.

So who here thinks they're the biggest Geek? And of course, why do you think that you are.

My defense as to why I'm a Geek: (Though I don't think I'm the biggest Geek here, but maybe I am)

1. I sleep next to this
2. This is what my desk looks like, along with part of my closet
3. I operate and run two websites based around Geek stuff
4. I'm a computer science major

There has to be someone here that can out do me in terms of geekiness.

Thought I'd forward this to you guys, incase anyone was interested:

Hi,

We have just launched the market release version of Registry Booster, a powerful registry cleaning utility that has already gained an average of 5,000 daily downloads in its beta stage.

In contrast to other registry cleaners, Registry Booster is built with our new Advanced Error Detection TM Technology that enables more intelligent registry scans, safer repairs and effficient defrags enabling cleaner registries and optimised PC performance.

Registry Booster is available for download from http://www.liutilities.com/products/registrybooster/ .

Just email me and I will immediately send a full version of Registry Booster (box or download) together with more details to help you develop this news into a great story. Our Marketing VP is also available for an interview which would allow your audience gain a better insight on our new product release.

I believe that your audience would be very keen to hear about this and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Kindest regards

Kevin

I recently purchased the domain geekchatroom.com. I thought it would be a good way for you guys to kill time while you're at work without access to major IM clients, at home secluding yourselves from society, or just being anti-social in general.

The chat plays well with phpBB, and as a result no registration is needed, so as long as you have an account on The Geek Forums. I thought this was important because I know from experience it's a pain in the ass having 10 passwords for one site.

There's still some work to be done, namely designing the site itself. However, the script must reside on this domain in order for it to work properly with phpBB, which I believe is a small price to pay.

If you wish to join the chat, clack here.

I know we have a thread about this around here somewhere (here) I would like to add on to this list, and eventually publish an article on The Geekery about popular alternatives to programs that people commonly use, but get ripped off on.

Here's one from me, though I am not sure if there is a widely used program out there like this:

Look@Lan

This program is great for people who have small business networks, or those who want to keep track of what IP addresses are connected to your network. This program can also send you an email if a host goes offline.

I actually have a forwarder set on my webserver to forward any email sent to that specific address to be sent to my cell phone so I can know ASAP when something goes wrong. This program is a must for network administrators.


Oh, and then there's the obvious "Use Linux instead of Windows" which I will mention here:

Linux instead of Windows.

There. Glad I got that out of the way.

Some of you maye have tried to login/view the forums last night, but instead were greated with a white page that stated the bandwidth limit had been exceeded.

Obviously, that means that this place is quite popular, and reqiures more transfer! I bought this place some time by playing around with my quotas since the quotas are only checked once a day by a script, but I simply don't have enough bandwidth to go around between all of my accounts. Some of the previous months I have been using almost a quarter terabyte worth of bandwidth, so it's time for an upgrade.

Later on today I will get in contact with the owner of the hosting facility to see what I can get, as he's a pretty generous guy since I'm client seventy something, out of about 10,000. He and I go way back.

Earlier this week, I was away on business. If you’ve ever traveled with Air Canada, you would know that there is 50% chance of being inconvenienced in some way due to their incompetency, which I firmly believe is an official job requirement for any Air Canada employees who work with the public. I now believe that not only do they irritate their clients all the time, but I suspect it’s done on purpose. During my last trip, I was subjected to every possible incident that could ever occur to a traveler, excluding plane high jacking or a crash. It’s like they picked my name out of a hat and said “Let’s make sure that sucker remembers this trip for a loooooong time!”

It all begins on a wonderful Wednesday night. I’m schedule to leave from Moncton at 8:00 and arrive in Ottawa at 9:30, with a connection in between in Montreal. As I wait for the plane to arrive in Moncton, there is announcement that the plane will be arriving late and that we would get an update on how this will impact our flight connections later. I consider going back home because it looks like I’ll miss the flight from Montreal to Ottawa anyway. Long story short, the plane finally arrives an hour late and we were told that we would have 11 minutes to make our connection in Montreal. Their exact words were “It won’t be a problem. The departure gate is right next to your arrival gate. Also, we’ve contacted the Montreal airport. They know you are coming and your plane will be waiting for you”

“Great! There’s my incident for this trip! That’s not too bad. Everything should go well from this point!” I thought. Boy, was I ever wrong! We get to the runway to take off, and we just sit there. The captain announces that “they’re just resetting something” and we’ll be on our way shortly. What the hell does that mean anyway? I chuckle as I create the mental image of Seinfeld on a stage mocking them “We’re resetting stuff here so don’t panic. Don’t bother trying to understand what we’re talking about, that’s our business. You just sit back and relax and do and let us do what ever the hell it is we do.” 20 minutes later, the plane finally leaves. “Will I make my connection?” I ask myself. “Sure! After all, they said they would hold the plane. What’s an extra few minutes right? Our bags are probably not going to make it, but they’ll drop those off at the Hotel the next day. I’ll live”

We land in Montreal. I’m in the very last row of the plane and as usual, everyone gets up and anxiously waits to get off. The stupid flight attendants weren’t creative enough to come up with the idea of making the some sort of announcement to invite passengers with connecting flights to get off first. So I wait. I get off, run to the appropriate gate and… nothing. The plane left and didn’t wait for anyone from my flight. In fact, the plane left before we even landed. Also, there is no Air Canada employee in the area to assist us. Great… Eventually, I track one down who informs me to go to Air canada’s ticket counter. Someone would be able to assist me there. After talking to three different Air Canada employees, and getting three different instructions on how to get to that counter, I finally make it there and wait in line. And I wait. And wait. There’s about 20 people in front of me and they’ve been talking to the first guy for 20 minutes. Luckily, there are 3 employees at the counter so hopefully, this should move. But no. In fact, two of them get up and leave. “Later!” They tell the remaining co-worker. “Our shift is over!” Fucking cock suckers! They can’t stick around and assist? Hello? Claim some fucking overtime.

At this point, I’ve been waiting here for a while and think I better go get my luggage before someone steals it. I leave the line, which isn’t the end of the world because I was at the very end, and make my way to the baggage area to look for my bags. No luck. They are missing. I go to the lost baggage counter and explain the I flew in from Moncton, but never made my connection because my plane was late. “Are they sending you to Ottawa by bus tonight or will they make you sleep in Montreal and fly you out tomorrow?” the man inquires. “I don’t know. There’s a huge line upstairs and one person to assist all of the stranded passengers. I don’t know what they’ll do”. He tells me to go back upstairs and find that out while he looks for my bags. He tells me to return once I know.

I go back upstairs. Patiently wait. I notice a girl who says “I’ve called the bus station and we can still have over an hour to catch the bus that goes to Ottawa. Will you guys pay our fares?” Well… that requires the summoning of the client service manager. As she’s coming over to the counter I hear her whining in French about how she just finished dealing with angry passengers who gave her a real hard time. She goes behind the service counter and says “We will provide you with a hotel room, and we’ll flight you out tomorrow. We won’t pay for your bus. Besides, we can’t be responsible for getting you to the bus station. If the bus left from the airport, that would be a different story.” Hello! You’re responsible to get me to Ottawa you dumb bitch! But of course, being a patient man, I stay in line and keep my mouth shut. Eventually, I make it to the counter and I’m served by non other than the client service manager, who I assure you, knows very little about client service. While she makes arrangements for my flight the next day, she spends her time whining in French to the other employee, doesn’t ever look at me, or cracks a smile. After a while, I stop talking to her in English and address her in French. She’s a little surprised, but doesn’t really seem to care as she continues to bitch about this situation with the other girl. She finally tells me that I’ll be on the 6h30 flight tomorrow morning. “Next!” she says. “Excuse me!” I reply. “While I’m happy that you have arranged for me to get in Ottawa on time for my meetings, what the hell am I doing tonight? We’re am I staying? What’s the deal here?” She points to her colleague and says “She’s preparing some hotel vouchers for you. Go talk to her.” And she looks the other way as if I no longer existed.

The other lady is unable to multi task. I can see her filling out the hotel vouchers. She tells me that I’ll get a $14 allowance for supper and a $7 allowance for breakfast the next morning. Then, she stops what she’s doing and leaves. She returns a few minutes later and starts to chat with the people in the line. “Excuse me!” I holler at her sarcastically. “I can see my reflection in the window so I’m obviously not invisible. When you’re done with your little chat, do you mind finishing what you’ve started and get me a frickin’ hotel? If it’s not too much trouble, of course.”  The customer service manager looks at me as if I was the one with the problem. “May I help you?” I ask her. She pretends I don’t exist. I end up with a hotel voucher with 4 names on it. She says these are people that were on my flight and we can catch the shuttle bus and go to the hotel together. Fine. But I have to get my bags first.

I go downstairs and tell the baggage guy that I’ll be staying in Montreal and flying out to Ottawa the next morning. He says he’ll send the bag to my hotel if he finds them. I say “what do you mean by “If”? the plane left from Moncton and stopped here. There were no connections as my plane to Ottawa left before I even landed. We went from point A to point B. How the hell do you manage to loose a bag when there’s no connections involved?” he says my bag may be in the storage room, then he stands there grinning like an idiot. “Well, can you go check the storage room?” I ask. “Oh, well do you really need your bag tonight? We can ship it to your hotel tomorrow”. I reply “First off, I won’t have a hotel in Ottawa since I’m not sleeping there tonight. Tomorrow, I fly to Halifax for other meetings I have Thursday so yes, I do need my bag and I need it tonight. I don’t want to wear the same suit for 3 days because you think making your way over to a fucking storage room is too much trouble.”

You have to understand that I’m a very patient person. Too patient sometimes. But now, the tone of my voice is changing and I just can’t help it anymore. The baggage guy leaves and later returns empty handed. “Can’t find them. They’re not in the storage room.” he says. I tell him he’ll just have to check in the luggage loading area. “The bag left the plane, but didn’t come out from that little hole in the wall so logically, it must be in somewhere in between.” He calls someone and 30 minutes later, the baggage belt starts moving and my bag comes out. Finally!

I head back upstairs at the service counter and ask where the 3 other people listed on my hotel voucher are. They look at me as if I was an alien. I have to explain that I was given this hotel voucher which would provide everyone listed on it with a hotel room. They start hollering out names and I finally track down 2 out of 3. Fuck it. The fourth person is on her own. I tell the other two people that we need to catch the shuttle. “Oh, we have to go get our bags first”. OK, no problem. Right this way. I bring them downstairs and they start looking for their bags. No sign of them. I spot the baggage guy and I go over to him. I tell him these people were on my flight and their bags didn’t come out either.

He goes trough the whole questioning process, and offers to ship their bags to them tomorrow. He stands there and grins like an idiot. “Listen!” I say “My bag was lost somewhere back there, and you found it. Using the exact same methodology, get their fucking bags so we can get the fuck out of here. I have to get up in 4 hours to catch my flight tomorrow morning. He explains that there was maintenance on the belts and that one section was deactivated and that is why the bags never came out in the first place. “I don’t care. Just get the bags”. He calls someone and they start up the entire system. No bags come out. He says, part of the belt is still not working and your bags are on that section. That’s why they won’t come out. We’ll mail them to you tomorrow. The passenger next to me says “If you know where the bags are, can’t you bring them over?” “No sir, as I said, that part of the converyor belt is broken.” He replies. I jump in and say “I am aware the the job requirement at the service counter requires incompetency and lack of customer service, but I was unaware that the baggage handler positions required employees to be without arms. CAN’T YOU WALK OVER TO THE FUCKING CONVERYOPR BELT THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONAL, USE YOUR ARMS, PICK UP THE FUCKING BAGS AND CARRY THEM OVER HERE?”. He calls someone again. Moments later, the bags come out from the belt. We also managed to spot the fourth person listed on the hotel voucher so we’re off to the hotel. We get on the shuttle bus, arrive at the Ramada hotel and are welcomed by the hotel manager, a man named Francis. When he sees a bunch of people with Air Canada vouchers, the first thing he says is “There will be no $14 dollar meal. The kitchen is closed. Also, if you leave before 7:30, there will be no breakfast. The kitchen won’t be opened.” Wonderful!

He takes my voucher and says “OK, you guys will get a room with two double beds” We all exclaim “What???” simultaneously. “We don’t even know each other! They said they would give each one of us a room!” Francis tells us that the vouchers are filled out improperly. It says number of passengers: 4. Number of Rooms: blank. They didn’t fill it out. We get into a whole argument and he says he can’t get paid for 4 rooms if it isn’t indicated on the voucher. I grab the voucher from his hand, lean over his counter, grab a pen and write the number 4. “Here you go, now get me a room.” He freaks out. He says that this won’t match the original voucher and he won’t get paid. If he doesn’t get paid, he doesn’t rent rooms. Period.  We argue and tell him that it’s clear there was a mistake, but he has a contract with Air Canada and he should sort it out with them afterwards. It’s not our problem. He says he’ll give us two rooms. That’s 4 beds for 4 people. It’s logical. I tell him he should polish that logic a bit more because he’s not about to get the Mr Spock title any time soon.

Long story short, the 4rth person on our list happened to have a voucher of her own so she was fine. That left 2 rooms available and 3 people. Francis wouldn’t budge. He said he could get his driver to bring us back to the airport to get new vouchers. Obviously, no one would be at the service desk at this hour se we just collectively chip in and rent a 3rd room. Now we all have rooms. “Would you like a wake up call sir?” he asks me. “Yes. Yes I would! 4:00 am please” He looks at me and chuckles. It’s 1:00 am right now.

Alright, now I’m set! I need a fucking beer. I walk in the bar and the bartender informs me he’s closing up. “Sorry!” “Awwww come on! Just give me a beer and I’ll be done in 10 seconds!”. He says they’re closed. I manage to convince him that my new friends and I really need a beer and he agrees on the condition that we take it outside to our rooms because he wants to close. We go upstairs in a common room, we drink we bitch, I go to sleep and two and a half ours later, I’m back up getting ready for another long day at work, and a trip to Halifax at 7:00 PM that night.

After I spend the day sleeping in meetings, I head back out to the airport, get my ticket, pass security, look at the departures board. All green lights except for one entry which stands out in yellow and reads “AC flight#xxx from Ottawa to Halifax: Delayed”.

I’ll just stop it here for the sake of remaining sane. But now you can see why I strongly feel like Air Canada just pulled my name out of a hat and made sure that whoever’s name was drawn would remember their trip for a long long time.

How about I get right to the point and answer these questions myself? Detta's answers are coming soon. Keep an eye out for them!

1. Now Judgie, you recently got married. Would you tell us about the wedding?
- No! Well then... that was easy! OK I'll talk, I'll talk. My wife and I have been together for 10 years, living together for 9. We've been putting off the wedding for years because in our minds, we were married and we had better things to do with ours money. But after a while, I was getting tired of introducing her as my "girlfriend" so one day I brought her to a jewelry store and told her to pick out a ring. I told her we had been putting this off for too long, and we'd never have the $$ to pay the fricken wedding without using credit cards or making a loan. Now that we had both purchased out rings, there was no more excuse. The show had to go on. So really, one of the motives to get married was entirely social prestige, if you want to call it that. Long story short, we were suppose to get married down south to avoid having a huge wedding and dealing with the demands of some family member, we ended up getting married home. We had 9 guests. Got married at 11:00 am on a warm and sunny Saturday. In fact, it's been over a month and we did not get a single day that was that nice since. Act of God? Well... I wonder. You see, the day before the wedding, my mother in law told me about a catholic tradition I had never heard off. She said we had to put a rosary on a cloth line the night before and this would bring good weather. I don't have a cloth line so I suggested putting it in the electric dryer instead. She didn't find that funny. She just pushed me out of the way and put a rosary on my deck instead. So was that the secret to our wonderful weather? Bah... who cares! We had a blast and that’s what matters! We took off for Jamaica two days later and that was fucking awesome too! We took like 300 pictures over there. That's about it. Then we had to come back and start making Visa payments.

2. You've been in a relationship with your wife for quite some time. Does it feel any different now that you're officially married?
Other than the fact that she keeps referring to my ring as "the leash", not really. I'm still looking for the fiscal benefits! WHERE ARE THEY??? So no, nothing really changed. But at least now I can say "My wife won't let me" instead of "My girlfriend won't let me". Yeah... I'm soooo pussy wiped.

3. How many hours a week do you spend in front of a monitor? Doing what?
- Probably 50  hours or so. Most of the time, it's a work. Doing working, goofing off on-line, or writing articles like this one. At home, I usually use my PC to play games. But since my PC is not entirely up to date, I tend not to play the newly released games. I'm currently playing GTA Vice City, Need for Speed underground and Thief III.

4. What is the most important quality a friend of yours MUST have?
- Like Lacerda, a sense of humor is very important. I'm not fussy really. If you're not a jackass and we share similar interest, we can be friends.

5. What is the one thing that really ticks you off? The one thing that will take you from a "look! Butterflies!" state to a "I WANNA MAKE SOME HEADS ROLL!" state.
-I am definitely a potential road rage case. When I'm behind the wheel, watch out. I've given the finger to grandmas on more than one occasion. For some unexplainable reason, I just have a problem with people who can't drive, or who drive below the speed limit. But the worse is when I'm traveling on a highway (not a double lane, one with traffic going both ways) and there's a slow mutherfucker in front with his Winnebago and the fucker behind him won't pass, neither will the fucker behind the other fucker. So no one can pass because of these idiots who compound the problem. I've passed 10 cars in a row before with my horn blowing all the way and my finger sticking out from the sunroof before, but it's a risky maneuver. I don't recommend it to everyone.

6. If you could save a strangers life by donating one of your organs, but this would in turn reduce your quality of life, what are some factors that would influence your decision.
-I would love to save a life. When I was young, I've saved another kid from a very problematic situation once and it was very rewarding. It wasn't life threatening, but no good could have come out of it. See, we lived near a river and we decided to set traps in the spring when the ice was getting thin. We would cut out holes and cover them with a couple of branches and then cover the whole thing with fresh snow. Why were we doing this? Well I'm not sure. I can't give you a logical answer anyway. So my friend decides it would be a good idea to test our traps so he stands on one... nothing. he stomps... nothing. He starts jumping over it and cursing at it. Our traps didn't work! Then all of a sudden, he goes trough. It wasn't deep or anything, but his leg got stuck in icy water. It took me a good 10 minutes to get him out. Sure, it doesn't compare to saving a life, but when I was a kid, in my mind I had saved his life (because I didn't know any better then). The feeling that came with this accomplishment was like no other. Now, things that I would consider is who the person is, their background and stuff. I won't help a person who doesn't contribute to society in a positive way unless it's a close friend or relative. How will the quality of my live be affected? What are the risks and success rates? If the person's body rejects my organ, can I have it back? These are questions I would ask.

7. Do you give blood?
-No. Do you really want me to start spreading Judgy blood around? I don't think so! I don't give blood because I don't like to pass out. There. That's the only reason.

8. What is your most cherished childhood memory?
-I have so many! My childhood was awesome! We did crazy things back then. Where the heck were our parents? There's just to many to pick one. Going skiing with my brothers, building tree houses in the forest, tweaking our bikes and conducting skill tests for those who wanted to join our BMX gang, playing war and chucking hard acorns at people, pretending they were grenades. The list goes one. The thing I like most about my childhood is the ability we all had to make anything we believed come true in our imaginations. An ability that often fades over time.

9. What is the one thing you wish to accomplish before you die? What do you want others to remember the most about you?
- I don't know. I have career objectives like most people. I'll want kids as long as they don't turn out to be like me. I want to write a book as well. The only thing I really want to be remembered for is the joy I brought in peoples life. It's that is all I can accomplish in a lifetime, then I have achieved my purpose.

10. Who do you most admire and why? (I know! It's your dad!)
- I don't admire anyone specific. I tend to admire strengths and qualities that people have and I lack. I admire people who take risks. People who risk loosing something important to gain something greater. And I admire it most when they fail, but stand back up on their two feet and try harder.

11. top 3 movies?
- Terminator 2 was certainly my all time favourite. It's the only movie that I've gone to see at the theater 7 times. Other movies I rate in the top was Willow and Dune, but I'm not sure if they are y ultimate favorites. Too many choices!
12. top 3 songs?
- Like I was telling Catwritr, I don't listen to music that much. This seems strange because I am a musician and I love to play and compose music. What ever tune is on is fine by me. If I don't like it, I'll change to another station. I can count on my fingers the number of albums I've actually purchased in my life time. Let me think... There was a Queen album, AC/DC, 2 unlimited, Metallica, Pink Floyd, Soundtrack to Matrix 2, Soundtrack to Shall we dance, sound track to Chicago, and perhaps a Paul Anka album. That's all I can think off. Pretty sad selection isn't it?

13. Best food EVAR!!!?
- Contrary to popular belief, it is not poutine. A good poutine certainly ranks up there, but I prefer a more complete dish which would involve marinated chicken, veggies and salad. I like to try different kinds of food and appreciate varieties in cultures. I'm a sucker for Samosas. I've driven two hours one way just to buy them  on a few occasions. When I was in university, one of my professors was Indian. I've managed to convince him that he should convince his wife to make me some authentic samosas. Best ones I ever had and I crave them ever since.

14. Describe a typical Judge week.
-Monday to Friday at work from 8:30 to 5:00 or later. On the way home, I usually decide I don't feel like cooking so I'll have supper in a restaurant or take out 75% of the time. I'll get home and crash on the couch and flip channels. Maybe I'll get on the PC and play a game for an hour. Wednesday night is the sacred D&D night. We alternate between campaigns from week to week. We normally have 3 or 4 actives ones. One of them has been running for just over 4 years now. On weekends, I find that I can't sleep in like I used to so I normally get up early and play games for a few hours. Then I do what has to be done around the house. Sometimes. Weekend nights are usually for social activities which could range from going to see a movie or a play to having some friends over and having a few drinks.

15. Last one! If you had the power to change one event in your own life, for better or for worse, what would you change. And no "I wouldn't change a thing answers!". If you had to change something, what would it be?
-Like everyone else, there are actions I regret. On they other hand, those are the things you learn from. I think one item I would change is paying more attention in French class. You think my English sucks? I am so much more comfortable writing in English than in French. I send my e-mails at work in English, even when they are addressed to French people. It's very difficult to maintain a descent French when you live and work in a society that operates in English 90% of the time. I'm slowly loosing some of my French language. I would like to change that.

Well, that's me. Next time, we'll get Detta to provide some answers. She's still working on them. I think the thing she would want to change is receiving a private message from me with this list of questions!

Hello people. Ever wonder who the man behind the this site is? I'll tell you. He's a young ambitious man. I would like to introduce you to the boss, the man who controls the geek universe, none other than Chris himself. I've decided to ask him pretty much the same questions I've asked Catwritr. In fact, I'll be doing the same with the others as well. However, since the initial questions weren't really generic, everyone will get some variety on the first two questions. The thing you'll notice about Chris is that he's not a closet geek. Indeed, he lives in a room where the closet is filled with computer hardware so even if he wanted to be a closet geek, there wouldn't be any room for him in there.

1. Let's see... I have to think about an interest of yours... Ah yes! Screwing around with hardware! What's the most creative customization you've ever made do deal with a hardware related problem?
I haven't really been a big fan with the whole, "mod your computer so you can put as many fans as you can possibly fit in it" to be honest. I have cut away a few fan grills to increase air flow into and out of a few cases.

2. I beleive you were 14 or 15 when you created this site. Correct me if I'm wrong. Where did your interest for owning a part of the intraweb come from and where did you learn the ropes?
According to the WHOIS database, I registed gotthegeek.com on April 22, 2001, which made me 14 at the time, I think. Yes, to all those readers out there that never knew, I am still a pretty young fellow. I wish to keep this site going, but between school, work, updating scripts, upgrading hardware, spending time with my girlfriend, and other family events, there is little time if any for me to actually update this site myself. Many thanks go to TheJudge for providing this place with some content over the past year.

3. How many hours a week do you spend in front of a monitor? Doing what?
I used to be infront of a computer screen a lot before I started working many hours a week. I would say I used to spend between 30 to 40 hours infront of a computer before I started working as much as I do. Now I think it is probably about 20 hours a week, if that. Sometimes I think it is less. What do I do when infront of my computer? Some of the time is spent doing homework, checking and answering countless emails a day, browsing the internet trying to find the driving fource behind life as we know it, checking backups to make sure they have executed correctly, and as well as making sure this place and other sites that I operate are actually still working.

4. What is the most important quality a friend of yours MUST have?
Being the kind of person that I am, I can honestly say that the group of people that I call "friends" is fairly limited. I like people who are honest, and not someone that consistantly makes up rumors or lies to make them seem better than they actually are.

5. What is the one thing that really ticks you off? The one thing that will take you from a "look! Butterflies!" state to a "I WANNA MAKE SOME HEADS ROLL!" state.
Ignorance. I hate people who do not have any common sense, but then insist that they are smart because school or whoever "says that they are" and continue to try and rub it in your face.

6. If you could save a strangers life by donating one of your organs, but this would in turn reduce your quality of life, what are some factors that would influence your decision.
"How much would this degrade my quality of life? Will I be able to perform most of my everyday functions without much hassle?" Oh, and of course I would like to know a little about the person I am helping before I actually went ahead and did it. Obviously if they were a convicted fellon, I would think twice.

7. Do you give blood?
No. I never have, and I am guessing I wouldn't be able to. It's just a hunch that I have. I still have yet to go to the doctor's office in sometime.

8. What is your most cherished childhood memory?
When I actually had time to myself to actually be able to write articles and funny stuff for this site. I wish I had a week or two to do just that.

9. What is the one thing you wish to accomplish before you die? What do you want others to remember the most about you?
I have never really thought about this question because of my age. I'm still pretty young, and I haven't even really gotten the chance to "show the world what I can do".

10. Who do you most admire and why? (I know! It's your dad!)
I can't really truly say just one person, because if I did, I would be leaving a lot of people out that helped to make me who I am now. You readers can thank my brother for getting me interested in computers. Without him you wouldn't be reading this right now. Instead you'd probably be looking at porn.

11. top 3 movies?
Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back
The Patriot
Pirates of Silicon Valley

12. top 3 songs?
Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Guns N' Roses - November Rain
Andrew WK - Party Hard

13. Best food EVAR!!!?
Hands down, Cheez-Itz

14. Describe a typical Chris week.
My week is very simple:
Friday Saturday and Sunday I work. I typically put in about 25 to 30 hours during these three days
Monday - Friday I go to school from 7:25 to 2:14 in the afternoon.
During the week I'll usually go over my girlfriend's house, or she'll come over to my house after school.

15. Last one! If you had the power to change one event in your own life, for better or for worse, what would you change. And no "I wouldn't change a thing answers!". If you had to change something, what would it be?
Once thing that I'd like to change, not so much because it affected me, but because of all of the problems that could have been avoided would have to be September 11, 2001. If I could somehow go back in time and possibly stop that all from happening, the world would be a lot different today. I've always wondered how different the world would be had that not happened. Would we still be talking about Gary Condit?

Well… There you have it folks. Chris is apparently somewhow responsible for 9-11 or he's ADHD. If you have questions for Chris or wish to expand on some of his answers, then by all means do so.

Look for another article of Let’s get personal! - The moderators edition coming soon to a PC near you.
