I guess my take on it is that horses are pets. I feel the same about eating a horse as I do about eating a dog. They have been bred to be companions. That makes it feel wrong.

I automatically approve of any story that mentions Roger Zelazny. The man was an amazing author.

"According to one source, Sega's producers wanted Colonial Marines to feel like Call of Duty—in other words, more shooting marines, less shooting aliens."

In college I didn't get recursive code. Until I woke up in the middle of the night and it was clear as day. I immediately went to my computer and wrote the code because I was afraid that if I went back to sleep I would not understand it in the morning. Sitting there writing code at 3:00am in my underwear...

Quintin that was elitist crap and you should be ashamed for being a euro game hipster.

It is invaluable to me to be have to have an IDE on one screen while I have documents, email, browser or anything else I need to reference on the other.

Good luck! My advice to all women is that there are tons of guys out there who probably would be interested but don't know how to approach. Get in a habit of making smalltalk with guys (even if not interested). A lot of guys just need some sort of indication that it is safe to approach a girl because so many times…

Let me put it this way: You could have that many women take a bottle of poison and dump it in a river once a year and it STILL would not affect the environment in any perceptible way.

Do you actually believe that, in all of the sewage out there, that the relatively small amount of pills like this would be taken could have any reasonable chance of having any effect on anything? You can't actually believe that...

Even if you HAD called her emo that is no reason to hate someone, regardless of how you feel about emo folks. (I think they are attention whores, personally). This girl sounds like she was not worth your attention.

Yeah, that is just as bad as the girl I asked out who just walked away from me laughing without even taking the time to say "no".

My sense of smell is toast because of lifelong allergies. But it has a positive aspect; sometimes if there is a bad smell I don't even notice.

I'm glad you took a chance! Even on the dating site I met my current wife at I had not known it let people know who looked at a profile. I had checked out my to-be-future wife's profile a few times and she wondered "Why is he looking so many times but not writing?" So she wrote and asked. We ended up dating and…

I absolutely understand how those burns can burn deep. Aside from my Valentine story the other incident was when I worked up the nerve to ask this girl out after thinking it over for a few weeks. I practices the conversation over and over.

Sounds to be that he was doing you a favor by getting his sorry loser ass out of your life.

Yeah, everyone would see who had flowers and who did not. For cute girls it was a competition of sorts to see who got the most. Most guys acted like they could care less but had I gotten a flower I'd have worn it around all day.

Every year around this time in high school they had a thing where you dropped someones name into a box and sometime during the day a carnation was delivered to them anonymously.

Practice makes perfect.

I think the clear correlation here is that marshmallow consumption leads to decreased SAT scores. Ban marshmallows!!!

So I gave a doubly linked list some...wait for it...pointers?!?!
