Oh, come on! It's friday night and there appears to be noone online... (AIM and the Board seem to be inactive...) Poo...

Oh. Well. Maybe I can actually get some work done.

BUT ITS FRIDAY NIGHT!

Okay, let us break down this situation:

DISCLAIMER: this is all a joke if you can't tell. I'm just fulfilling my position as stated in my sig.

It seems that we have a large number of college-level members on this forum. Therefore, I find these scenarios to be applicable:

Scenario 1: Stoned at a party.
- College freshmen are most succeptable to this, as not only have they yet to outgrow their adolescent foolhardiness, they are tired of working and thus try to escape their long blood-shot nights of study. The best solution for this is suicide. The second best solution is getting stoned. (The pitiful thing is that my high school seems to induce this mentality prematurely.)

Scenario 2: Heaven on Earth.
- Are off socializing in some fashion with a seemingly attractive member of the opposite sex. This circumstance is the subject of much fantasizing with many students, though the success of bringing said situation into reality varies from case to case. Often success is inversely proportional to desire, and in many cases there is quite a bit of that.

Scenario 3: Odd combination of scenarios 1 and 2.
- Usually only applicable to the more foolhardy of the bunch. The circumstances in Scenario 1 have been more than fulfilled and the subject is speaking to a seemingly attractive person of the opposite sex with who seens rather adept at and interested in stealing said subject's heart. Sadly, in the subjects drunken stupor, he has forgotten most of his anatomy courses from high school, and thinks his 'heart' to be a couple of feet lower than it actually is.

Scenario 4: Online presence of doom.
- Albert scared them away. Happens every time.

If I had a life, I'd either be stoned at a party, socializing with a seemingly attrictive member of the opposite sex, or be stoned at a party and socializing with an attractive member of opposite sex and I would have forgotten just about everything I had ever learned about anatomy in my drunken stupor...

In other words, it would be rather frightening... O_o Well, except for the second scenario...

AlbertWu · Apr 7, 2001, 12:54 AM

BTW, what did your parents say about Sunday? I would ask you on AIM, but I am too lazy to switch apps. Oh well

------------------

shanraghan · Apr 7, 2001, 12:55 AM

Are you an attractive member of the opposite sex? If you were, then maybe I'd say yes.

My... I am scary... O_o

I'm here....but that's only because Pirates of the Silicon Valley is in commercials now

AlbertWu · Apr 7, 2001, 01:13 AM

Aaron, One of these days someones going to start a MacNN Inquisition and you will be found to be a heretic... you EVIL PC USER!

Someone start an Inquisition!

elzinat · Apr 7, 2001, 01:23 AM

First off, thank you for the prompt reply

My friend, it regretably is beyond my powers to do so, as I have mod priviledges only in the Peripherals forum. Misha doesn't want a non-MacNN employee mod in the Lounge, (for understandable reasons) though I would be willing to mod the Lounge (as he knows). If you want me as mod of the Lounge, you can post in Sug/Com or email him and tell him so and annoy him until he decides it's all my fault and removes me from mod in periphs.

In my expert opinion, Alb's post should be read as having no meaning.

btw, this is my 800th post to be registered and remembered by the MacNN fora.

Well, since I didn't see an explanation, PITA means "Pain in the A$$."

My grandfather wanted to name my grandmother's new dog that name. They compromised with "Peanut." Close enough I guess.

Um, guys... I tried to do this a while back with my "...No Life" thread, and that got me in big trouble... Just watch out, Misha is a lurker, and far worse than those Zerg Lurker's too.

Sean, in case you havent noticed, there have been a string of "late-night" threads. Search for them

None were closed, it just became morning and they died out.

lol I actually answered that particular concern of alb's on AIM

i think the admins realize that since my suggestion to try out the macnn digichat in the "busy boards... late at night" thread, we are doing far more of our chatting off-fora than in the fora.

for the record: primarily thanks to sean there is now almost always a "MacNN Chat" room going on AIM, to which (as I have posted in other threads here in the Lounge) all MacNN readers are most welcome to invite themselves.
thank you sean
