the SWOT-table? right? (strengths , weaknesses, opertunities and threats) I've actually learned something in my managing class
When your hand is covered in lots of blisters from too much gaming. I frikkin hate that. Damn pressure. GR! (they should make a jello mouse)
When you go to fix someone elses computer and unconsiously go for the wheel on the scroll mouse or the volume on the keyboard. When you can, after someone buys a better computer and keeps a crappy old monitor and the refresh rate is too high for it, by touch and memory navigate to the display properties in the control panel on a windows box with no windows keys and no working mouse. While the screen is doing the whiney lined jigglies, change the resolution down to base(640x480) and the adapter refresh rate to the lowest it can possibly go.
i can just about do it with a keyboard. god knows how id do it wth a mouse as its random luck where display propitys are.

As you watch TV and it begins to skip and pause; you immediately blame the poor reccording on high latency; suggesting to yourself that you should invent a T3 Television connection.

I was having a heavy time with a friends PC that refused to play nicely. My wife called out that the tumble dryer wasn't working and I absent mindedly replied. A few minutes later she came into my room, looked at me in that way and asked "what do you mean..reboot it?" My kid has never let me forget it.
After a heavy session of Morrowind (say 2 week stretch or so) I was back at school, and since I had 100 Acrobatics and 100 Athletics I could easily take the stairs down in one jump ...nearly broke my legs. And after non-stop Diablo II I couldn't go anywhere without seeing a little flash of red in the bottom-left of my vision that got turned into a nearly empty health orb, or a little blue one in the bottom-right that was mana And my Chemistry notebooks are full of doodles of the perfect Paladin build. And I do say l33t, lol, rofl, wtf, lmao, pwned and suchlike IRL (that one too)...mostly just in front of friends who know what I'm on about, but every so often I slip
Last night I had a nightmare of being stuck on a 486 with Windows 3.1 and dial-up internet access. I think it was due to this thread... L J
well mines kind of like kenn's. While being bored to death with a teacher (or other person) who enjoys listening to themselves speak, trying to alt tab out so you can do something more exciting.
OK, I've been dying to ask.. exactly how would one pronounce "lol"? We will leave behind the question of how someone could do that instead of laughing for now.. but what does this sound like? "EL - oh - EL" "Loal" "Lahl" Please explain.
I know I've been at the computer to long when game characters appear in front of my eyes when they are open..
