    The boss fights in that game were super easy. Some of the levels were a little tricky though.

    I never felt like a kid when playing a game since Mario 64.

    Like, I literally squealed with glee a couple of times playing this game.

    I squeal with glee every time I beat you down in TF2, Zen. :D

    To be fair, that's not very often. :P

    I'm so flunking my French Aural midterm-test today, although its a craps shoot whether I can understand it enough to write down the answers or not.

    On the bright side, German midterm-test studying is picking up well so I won't need to kidnap Haps after all.

    Horen tests are so fucking screwed up.
    The damn Germans always talked too fast and I could only catch half of what they were saying.
    So, they went to the circus/supermarket and bought some uh, and then they went to the mall and movie theater and something and fell asleep at home.

    Watch your caffeine intake.

    My caffeine intake is pretty much 0. I used to drink a fair amount of caffeinated soda in highschool, but pretty much stopped after I got to college. I think I'm like hypersensitive to caffeine now, cuz a can of coke will make me freak out. I had a couple cups of chai the other night and couldn't fall asleep.

    Oh well, thank god I don't have to do a German Aural test yet. The problem I have with French is that while I can hear the answer they want me to write down, fuck if I can spell it, which makes me miss it and become completely indecisive about the answer. And then I linger over that question and miss the answer to the next 3.

I think the ability for harm through anonymity is greater on a social networking site than on a run of the mill forum about fixing cars, video games, or computers.
    I've met several people from here in real life. Several underaged forumers here have met people from here in real life.

    I made pizza for a forumer I met here. A bunch of people ElJeffe only knows through the forums bought him and his wife a tandem-stroller for their new baby. I know of at least two forumers who met here who are engaged to eachother now.

    And every year, massive numbers of people here buy Xmas presents for each other.

    I also forged a friendship through a newsgroup with someone who wound up introducing me to my future wife.

    Does your current wife know about your future wife? Or are you just a scam so that you can sell tandem-strollers for crack-moneys?
    The stroller is for the child he lured through social networking sites.

    Maddie is not only not Jeffe's daughter, she's not even a toddler, or a girl. He's actually just a chain-smoking midget Jeffe picked up at a garage sale that he makes wear dresses and cobble shoes. Which he also sells for crack.

    I also stopped drinking caffine in college, after a class where the instructor mentioned that caffine is second only to heroin on its noticable effects on the human brain. I don't know if that was total bullshit, but cutting pop out of my life saved my teeth and I lost weight, sadly I found the weight I lost.

    There has to be something more to that claim. As it stands, what the fuck does that even mean? Noticable effects meaning what? Because I can assure you that I notice the effects of alcohol and pot a lot more easily and a lot more quickly than caffeine, and I can only imagine heroin has more noticable effects than pot because otherwise why take on the extra risks, both biochemical and legal?

    Well, a lot of the effects you're referring to with drugs are neurological effects. I can imagine that caffeine might have a greater biological effect, on such things as blood pressure and heart rate, than marijuana or other drugs.

    good.
    Dr. Pepper. The shittiest thing about Texas. Man, I wish I was there instead of Bumsville, Mississippi. But you'd think they'd have gotten rid of that piss along with slavery.

    FIFY

    There has to be something more to that claim. As it stands, what the fuck does that even mean? Noticable effects meaning what? Because I can assure you that I notice the effects of alcohol and pot a lot more easily and a lot more quickly than caffeine, and I can only imagine heroin has more noticable effects than pot because otherwise why take on the extra risks, both biochemical and legal?

    Well, a lot of the effects you're referring to with drugs are neurological effects. I can imagine that caffeine might have a greater biological effect, on such things as blood pressure and heart rate, than marijuana or other drugs.

    Actually one of the things marijuana actually does instead of causing brain-damage (that one's a lie) is jack up your blood-pressure for a while after smoking. By "a while" I mean your blood-pressure will drop again before the high passes.

    Watch your caffeine intake.

    My caffeine intake is pretty much 0. I used to drink a fair amount of caffeinated soda in highschool, but pretty much stopped after I got to college. I think I'm like hypersensitive to caffeine now, cuz a can of coke will make me freak out. I had a couple cups of chai the other night and couldn't fall asleep.

    I also stopped drinking caffine in college, after a class where the instructor mentioned that caffine is second only to heroin on its noticable effects on the human brain. I don't know if that was total bullshit, but cutting pop out of my life saved my teeth and I lost weight, sadly I found the weight I lost.

    Well if I can remember right (it's been a while and it was a kind of throwaway statement) caffine can cause a euphoric state in the brain that you become dependant on (so a lot of normal pop drinkers don't notice the feeling because it's always technically there) so not only do you have withdrawal head aches after not drinking caffine you get overly depressed. So far there hasn't been any physical damage or downsides to caffine so there hasn't been any reason to restrict the substance (other then addiction and going broke from starbucks).

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
