21 years and still going, thats got to be a record.



No, but i do love the disc world books.
NW: Hey, I made it on this psycho's Enemies' List, how about that ?? ;)

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Spenoza: The wannabe masculinity just overwhelms.

I remember looking through Yahoo for web pages of bands that I liked- when you would click entertainment -> Music -> bands -> then look through the alphabetical list for what you wanted.
Take off yer flip flops and set up the tripod: it's bag kickin' time!

I remember giving advice, to people on how to run a business. I pulled the advice from films I watched on WPIX 11 and WWOR 9. Hey tom see you at the party.

I even pretended to be a girl and the screen filled up with nothing but pop-ups. It was like pop-ups like no tommorow, it made my computer crash."Hi their I am wearing nipple, rings and have toasty sun burnt skin, I am a really naughty, naughty" A year or two later, I think Jenny Jones ( or was it Riki Lake ) did the same exact thing, but she never got as much pop-ups. I mean seriously, you know how many horny people are out their. Back in 19XX

It was like PSO but without 3d world, basically 2nd life.
