Love love love that line. Love Cornelius and his gothic window'd bus.

Haha, her dad is going to hunt you for sport.[/QUOTE]
I'm hoping he won't. After all, the news of a bearded 27-year-old nerd dating his 19-year-old virgin daughter did not send him into a Rambo-like rage and shooting arrows with strongly-worded letters of caution through my windows at the dead of night.

It is, however, kind of a dick move on your part to announce to the forum that she is a virgin and that she's going on the pill. Considering that her picture is in the pictures thread, that's a big load of private information about her you just dumped on the internet.
You better be on your best behavior too. As a father myself, I'd be pretty skeptical of a 27 year old dude's intentions for my 19 year old daughter. I was joking about the hunting thing, but you best check yo self fo' you wreck yo self.

I'll bet some of those monsters are going to be riddled with logic and powers that make sense!!
I'm pretty sure that one is NSFW.

Where's the fun in that?

Some of them perhaps. I got a few more pieces of art yesterday, and I'll tell you, the artists are bringing their A-game. The Wendigo, Redcap, and Bhoot all came out perfectly. The Hihi looks pretty awesome, but one of the proportions is pretty funky, it needs to be changed.

... Oops. 
Guess I got carried away with such revelations. After six years of undesired singledom, I tend to get wildly excited (NOT IN THAT SENSE! ...yet) about these sorta things.
Anyway, I was on my best behavior. I had a chat with her folks, and with both mom and dad separately so we got to know each other better. The dad's a real fine fellow if you ask me, a laidback guy who came to greet me in shorts and t-shirt. We had grilled sausages and salad, followed by coffee and biscuits, and I think I made a good impression on them as they said they'd like to meet again (or maybe they were just being polite. Hmmm... :hmmm: ). Even their dog liked me.
Anyway, my high hopes for this relationship continue with an ongoing rising trend. More news as they... no, scratch that. I'll let you know if I let you know.

If my memory serves, such happenstance is indeed yayworthy.
yay, flashed my Samsung Moment from Android 1.5 to 2.1, by hand, without any hiccups or problems. Installed my backup software, and re-installed all my apps from backup.
Total time from start to finish: 20 minutes.
I think this has got to be the easiest OS update I've ever performed in my life.
You know what's sad? This damn phone is probably 10X more powerful than the first computer I ever bought myself (and paid about $5000 for--in 80's dollars!)

Welcome to the future, Tin. There's one thing that vexes me about this development: the moon landing was accomplished with computers whose processing power wouldn't run even the simplest of PC games these days. And yet we're still stuck here when we should be colonizing Mars
As soon as they find gold/oil/something valuable on another planet in our solar system, we'll have a base there within 2 years.
Just FWY, here's a chart showing my first computer's power compared to my phone. I weep with how old I am.

I was gonna say that getting a computer with a CD-ROM drive was a huge technological and entertainment leap forward for my family, but I think it pales in comparison by your technological terror.
Vic-20, followed shortly by a C-64 that's still in the family, somewhere!
Yup..those came out about 3 years after the apple 2+..couple friends on my block had them. Better graphics..we played on them a lot.

Tie Fighter was the reason I bought my first computer.
I or my parents may still have a bunch of old games for the C64 my grandpa had. The computer is gone, but the software may remain.

Some of those old Commodore 64 games are worth quite a pretty penny

the games I might have all came out of a magazine, I doubt any of them are ones on that list
Jet's palate surgery was a success! Even better? Today he is recovering wonderfully. He's eating like a pig and drinking like a fish so they took his IV out early then expected. Now he's exploring the hopsital ward and playrooms. He hasn't even needed any pain meds since really early this morning. 
So..win!
So..win!
