I never partook in "phone-sex" or "chat-rooms". I also never lived in the dorms in college. These are my big regrets in life. I probably can't go live in a dorm now, but the other regrets... See you in about $200

It was embarrassing enough when he was beaten by a computer. Now he has to suffer the fact that he was beaten by a "bug".

Sometimes I prefer it when a post has no tag at all. This way, i'm not swayed by someone else's interpretation of the content.

I wouldn't believe this if it wasn't from the telegraph. It's just too, well, "pink".

“When the going gets tough, the weird turn pro”, has long been my motto. I'm always a "pro". Good read, it's a fantastic book but then all of his are.

  Why -is a question you are right to ask
  Because -is an answer you are left to task
  But wrong you are to assume lack of dreams
  All minds swim with these wild things

Not sure the strong and silent type wouldn't be able to successfully replicate the sound of a typewriter. I could see Sweetchuck being surprisingly good at it though.

I'd like to see Mahoney or Tackleberry try that.
