Even O'Gara should know that geeks don't have sex.

Looks like we need to revoke Scott's geek membership.

It might just be a side effect of his other passion, drummers need love too.

Shameless self promotion ahead!

I just found out about this two days ago..

The picture in the upper righthand corner is my band playing at a mall type place in the Phoenix metro area recently. That's me playing the drums. Cool huh?

The music that plays on the page is not ours though, we have our own myspace page. I make some decent side cash once in a while.

So where's the link to your band, so I can hear what you sound like. I've been learning guitar for about 6 months now, and some pro musician friends let me sit in on a private jam on the weekend, I'm pretty pleased because they invited me back to their next session.

Scott, you're digging yourself deeper. You admit to mingling in meatspace with other humans. **sounds of geekcred membership card getting shredded** I'm sorry, but we have standards to maintain.

Hey you're in the same neck of the woods as a couple of other e friends of mine, Torch and Red, I got Torch to finally try Linux, she started on Mandriva a couple of years ago and (boo hiss) moved to Ubuntu, now she's got Red using Linux on a dual Boot Linux/Windows (For Games) rig.

Forget that wannabe Scott.

Something you said has disturbed me profoundly.

There are other humans?

No, we are mere AI programs. And we obviously just failed the Turing test.

I know you are all figments of my imagination. Since nothing on the interweb is real.

Is the interweb even real?

No, it is just a figment of my Imagination for all of you to be in. It's good to protect reality from fantasy, so just create a web of imagination for all of your figments to be in.

Bob, you are so forgetful. You ordered them from Newegg.

Thanks for that image TC. I'll never look at the name "Newegg" in quite the same way...

Very likely. They are far, far too beautiful to have sprung from my sirloins.

When designer genetics becomes a reality, Newegg won't even have to put up a new web site. Maybe they thought about that before coming up with their company name....
