I know it was directed at Sandman, but my family's a sept of the Clan Maclaren.
Shouldn't you be an F1 fan then?   ;)

If you could play a game with any three people (real or fictional), who would they be and what game would it be?

Oh, hey, haven't answered in a bit. My apologies.

Ahem

No, that is not an accurate map of the the British Isles. Not anymore. London is London. It's like NYC, there really is no where else in the nation like it. Wales is not ALL empty space, just MOSTLY empty space. The Leprechauns are in central Ireland, the alcoholics are everywhere, and there really aren't that many terrorists in the north anymore. The Kilts are accurate, though.

Yes, you can bring psychotherapy into the modern age, but only when modern thinking people get involved in it and become psychologists. It's not an institution that can be changed from without.

FB will never die. In 2022 it will change its name to "SKYNET" and take over the world.

The sandman does not use FB, but he does look at friend's and relative's posts on his nephew's account.

AMD. Structurally there is no difference between AMD and Intel other than the price. Many of them are even made in the exact same factories. No. Remember the Sixth Rule of Hardware: "Never Buy First Generation."

Never.

Either "Diplomacy" with Churchill, Sun Tzu, and Teddy Roosevelt, or "Twister" with Winona Ryder, Salma Hayek, and Isabella Rossellini circa 1982

Sure, but which one will we climb? (Brownie points if you get the Monty Python reference...)

American football? Who the hell watches American football? If I want to see steroid-ridden monstrosities in painted-on pants grabbing each other's asses, I'll watch wrestling. At least then I know it will be entertaining.

No, I didn't. Welcome to the family.

I don't know. The title must have been lost at some point. It was only there to mock some idiot troll we banned anyway.

I tried F1 for a while.  Wasn't really my cup of tea.  I'll still watch it if there's no other races I want to see though.

I am not doing well, to be honest. Most days I have a lot of trouble swallowing and have great difficulty sitting up. My wife bought me an iPad, which makes it so I can be online and chat with friends and family without too much difficulty, once I learned how to turn off the portrait to landscape auto switching (I do most of my surfing lying on my side now, and that auto switching was driving me nuts). It's easier lying on my side. I have had several biopsies in through my lower right back and hip and the wounds are causing me some pain. I suspect one has gotten infected, but I won't know until I go to hospital tomorrow for more chemo.

But I try to look on the bright side. I've lost a hundred pounds and now look more like Walter White than Wilfred Brimley.

I wish you had better news to give. I'm glad you're hanging in there, though. *hugs Sandman*

As if you weren't already awesome enough... I already want to hug you to bits for all the good you've done for us here on the forums, but you're a Breaking Bad fan too? oh, be still my geeky little heart <3
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

now that House is off the air, Breaking Bad and Mythbusters are the only valid reasons to own a television.
