Your stomach rumbles and it sounded like the robots in Sir, You Are Being Hunted.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

  I think it is possible to break the wargame barrier.  You're there for days in some basement somewhere and you finally sort of
win WitPAE sort of...and you never want to play Total War Third age or WitpAE again.  In fact you are suddenly interested in some
very old boardgames.

  Yes, it happened to me and I lived to tell the tale.  Now I game in a loft and most of the games are in the barn.

...you hear two loud popping noises in the background, but carry on diligently in your preparations to pre-empt the Zulus in Civilization. Only a short while later to begin to smell something burning, and frown in confusion as you start for the kitchen. And upon entering you are amazed to find pieces of boiled egg splattered all over the place. And realizing you did not know at all when you had put the eggs on, but still very curious as to how long it took to boil down and explode like that...

...you have a beautiful woman dressed in stockings, garter and high heels telling you its time to get busy and you reply, "Baby, not now...I can't be tenderized while fighting a battle."

The sun is coming up as you leave your game of Civilization to get ready for work...for the third morning in a row!!

I did that once. Was I tired! *sigh*
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

...When you dream about a game you've been playing -- every night for a week straight (or more)... 

Yes, I've really done that.  ???

Missing one night's sleep I did all the time. But I only missed THREE nights' sleep once. If you consistently missed three nights' sleep, my hat's off to you.

You stick to the seat.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.
