OT: How old are you ? - Page 37

My first ever Shrapnel post is in this thread somewhere...

I forget exactly how old I am, but it must be about 26 or 27 by now. I always kinda figured I'd have a luxury mansion, array of sports cars and swimming pool full of supermodels by now.

Oh well...

I turned 33 a couple weeks ago... still working on US Government contracts as a telecom/computer networking engineer. Although I've been spending less time playing SE4 recently, partly because I got some new PS2 games and partly because I'm waiting for the patch to fix the Temporal bug (kinda hard to justify using a temporal-based race when there's a bug that skews combat wildly in your favor...).

Oh, and I've also been busy hassling with getting my basement finished; the "prime" contractor is a decent guy, but he's had trouble with subcontractors & has a bad habit of not writing things down. Oh well - it's almost done; my GF & I are going to paint & wallpaper it ourselves over the next few weekends.

And I finally got promoted back up to Major; I'd lost a couple ranks when they rebuilt the Boards a few months back...

33, still a lawyer, still broke, still wishing I had the looks of Brad Pitt and the sexual appetite of an elephant shrew.

Like Dogscoff, I kind of thought at this stage of my life I would be married to Kylie Minogue but also cohabit with Salma Hayak (sorry Rojero, she's mine), Ines Sastre, Milla Vovovich, Giselle Bundchen and Laetitia Casta (I cant stand being involved in conversation) BUT as my dad always said, "Junior, there are two types of women, the kind you dream about and the kind you marry"

80 hour weeks, piles, athlete's foot, leaking garage roofs and flatulent cats didn't really feature highly on my wish list when I was a youngster

18 still unemployed, still teaching myself to program since I can't afford the college classes and living proof that what's your dad said was not entirely true Growltigger..... in my area I have yet to meet a non-super-model-looking chick and for some strange reason I'm considered the hottest thing to hit this town ever... ah well maybe it's because they're all inbred and like the idea of fresh meat

Whatever it is it works for me. Like I always say there's two types of chicks: the kind you get to know and then screw, and the kind you screw first.

Weird how Shrapnel, and SEIV, has made the world a lot smaller.

I am sure you can adjust your settings.txt file to make it larger!

BTW still 41.

Anyone still have their old computers. TV news said their is a market for "Vintage" computers.

Yeah I am right there with ya Dog...
Except I should be married to Cameron Diaz, and have Salma Hayek as my mistress...! I care little for money, but I wish I was a famous game designer...hehe

Wow, I think I'll move to your town!

Super Models? phewy.
Married an intelligent woman who worked out 3 times a week. Looked great in her spandex exerciese outfits. Phewy. The woman was an abusive, *od *am*d etc....
Now I will hand fast with a very out of shape woman who makes everyday a wonder. The intimate is more intence than any fantacy I ever had.
She proves everyday that the old adage, "Beauty is only skin deep"
(I'm 48, Been married twice, was a widower befor I was 30. pooh bear and my first wife are so much alike I would almost belive in re incarnation).

My other computer is a not-quite-dead-yet Amiga 500. I still play games on it occasionally.

Before you pack up you might want to look for more mundane explainations for this seemingly amazing town. ie A) Despotic Fiend is legally blind, or perhaps B) he likes his booze and is premanantly wearing his 'beer goggles'
