    It's not like a fucking STD. You're not obligated to tell a girl "I like Dungeons and Dragons" before you start to court the lass.

    of course not, but if you take steps to *hide* it, that indicated you are ashamed of it

    I just don't think it should be something to be ashamed of

    Ive always wanted to make a thread about the far side called "The Far Side"

    but apparently there are no comics anywhere in google image search that are real.

    It sucks, i think it would make a nice thread but i just don't have the motivation. Threads used to be a hobby but reading others threads is much more entertaining.

    I play video games.

    Also, I just got a guitar for Christmas, so I want to work on that. But two of the tuning knobs are loose, so when a string vibrates, it rattles.

    I'm not sure where to actually start with learning to play.

    Tuning pegs shouldn't really be causing string vibration unless they're like, about-to-fall-off loose, and then I don't even think that'd be the culprit.

    It could just be that the guitar's action (the height of the strings from the guitar frets) is too low.

    I could give better advice with the following answers:

    Which strings are rattling and how?
    Do they rattle no matter how lightly you strum?
    If you're not holding any frets, do the strings still vibrate?
    If no, which frets do the strings vibrate on? (If it starts at fret 1 and doesn't stop vibrating until you hit fret 12, then 1-12 for example.)

    And yes, chords are the most basic starting point. The link I posted earlier in the thread has pretty big chord listing on there, though not as much as the guitar-chord wall poster that was mentioned.

    Oh, I know exactly why it rattles. I guess it's hard to explain. It's not that the pegs are loose, but the knobs at the end of the pegs are. See, you have the rod, and the flat part which are like pushed onto the rod so that you can turn the rod. The flat parts are loose on two of the rods. Already talked to the store it came from and they're getting replacement pieces.

    Hmm, still seems like that wouldn't 'cause any string rattling though. If it comes to mind, shoot me a PM when the store replaces those pieces to see if that does the trick.

    Nooooo JC, the string doesn't rattle, when you pluck a string, it vibrates, causing the guitar to vibrate, causing the loose flat knob piece to rattle.

    Well that makes much more sense then. Your use of plurals/singulars in the original post made me think you were referring to the string.

    Thank you for putting up with me thus far.

    I have said to a chick I met in a nightclub, when chit-chattin' later about what we do during the week, and she's like "oh well i do volleyball and pretty much just hang out with my friends on weekends"

    "oh, that's cool. much the same myself. I play D&D couple times a week."

    "D&D?"

    "Yeah, like Dungeons & Dragons. You know, nerdy game with dice and stuff."

    "....seriously? that's... that's weird."

    "Yeah, kind of a geeky thing, but it's a fun game."

    and her vagina didn't slam shut with a sound akin to a beartrap.

    she was intrigued.

    here is a dude who to all appearances is well-dressed, in decent shape, attractive, self-confident, and outgoing. he speaks intelligently, but not with an uppity egghead verbage to try to prove it. and yet here he is, saying how he hangs out in some dude's basement and plays a game i only hear joked about on TV as a punchline to a person being a loser

    clearly something is amiss.

    air of mystery, gents. just turned what could be considered anti-vagina poison into a challenge of a person's perceptions and intrigue to get to know a person more.

    all in the approach.

    i was able to find it because i remembered i used the phrase "and her vagina didn't slam shut with a sound akin to a beartrap."

    so i searched for posts by Pony with word slam.
