    Super Mario World once caused me to kick a hole in the wall.

    On more than one occasion I have realized after an argument the other person was just trying to get my goat.

    the last one is stupid no one needs that anymore

    one of my pet peeves is people spelling "no one" as "noone"

    i mostly still do it to take up infinitesimal amounts of space on papers.

    also nerd cred.

    None of the above. I don't touch fast food. But of the three options I only have experience with Taco Bell so I'll choose that. Too bad about the mystery meat from a gun issue they have going on. :P

    I'm a skinny nerd who eats healthy and works out. I'm too complicated for you internet!

    I can't remember the name of it, but there was this browser based space colonization/warfare game, and I pretty much recreated the Helican subsector of the Segmentum Obscurus from 40k, until I wasn't able to log on for a week and all of my worlds had been obliterated.

    When I'm driving somewhere with friends, I have to remind myself often that no, no one else cares why California freeway exits did not have numbers until very recently.

    Or the detailed history of the Lost Interstates of Atlanta.

    also one time my friend James and I speculated on whether or not they should make a new trilogy of star wars films, as had been rumored some months ago, and i said it should be about Kyle Katarn and he thinks it should be about Boba Fett after he gets out of the sarlacc pit and his girlfriend was there for that one too and she outright called us "nerdy motherfuckers"

    I own a gold replica of the one ring, it cost a bit of money.

    That is a little much.



    I own a stainless steel ring I wear on my middle finger, right hand.

    It's kinda weird but my hand feels naked without it now.
    I wear it around my neck with a silver necklace, I don't want Sauron to find me are you kidding.

    I'm genuinely curious why they didn't have numbers.

    It seems like finding your exit would be annoying, having to remember the whole name of the street.

    Well it just sounds weird to say "The Strokes is coming to town."

    Like, yeah, there is a singular entity called "The Strokes," but it sounds kinda 'tarded to use "is."

    I concur about the plurals for bands being correct from the aural side of things.

    But then I catch myself spelling invisable with an "a" frequently fyi.

    I like boardgames with complex miniatures and cannot be played with fewer than 6 people over the course of an entire weekend.

    but what if the band name isn't a plural, like Static-X or Strapping Young Lad? then it would sound kind of weird to say "are"
