OT: Why do wives always respond this way?

Thanks for the clarifications. Just goes to show what lack of context knowledge, and nothing but text to deliver the message, can do to confuse the receiver.

Sounds sensible. Missed that particular accessoiry on account of being too young to be a proper nerd yet back then.

OK, that's a bit extreme for the average D&Der in my area, although many have dabbled in LARP at some time. Very high percentage of nerds though, so that matches. I think that when I started over here (1987), about 85% of the D&Der I joined up with were studying CS or electronics, and that's about as nerdy as it gets.

Such optimists. They must have believed the jokes would be so good that it would be worth being the butt of them to see them first hand:-)

Watch the DVD of "Apollo 13", and examine the guys at Mission Control.

In addition to the "uniform" of short-sleeved white shirts, skinny black ties, and the occasional black-framed eyeglasses; you will see some pocket- protectors (but, to be fair, I think that just about *every* guy who worked in an office back then, looked like this...lol)

That was always my theory, actually: That they craved such attention.

i held his national for about 10 minutes. never a bigger thrill. also willie's....

he's been to hollywood he's been to redwood...

and ridgecrest.

...I've been through the desert on a horse with no name.

I got to see John Lee Hooker in a small bar in St. Louis once. Man, did that guy have some energy...wore the crowd out long before he was ready to stop playing.

Also onec shook Bo's hand...just to be able to say I know Diddley...he walked into a guitar shop I was sitting around in. Glad I wasn't trying to play his stuff when he caught me...

128 by the powerlines, massachusetts in the cold and dark, i'm in love with the modern world, i got the radio on.

Or he's an Old Man......

Only A Gentleman Can Insult Me And A True Gentleman Never Will

my fave is still the psych furs at umass playing to about

100 people. they didn't care, they came to play and talked to the audience. to be a wizz azz, my buddy asked them to do louie louie.....they did.

theses days they wait till the rents go out and do it at home.

999 in a bar in C-U...Mabels. They did "Homicide" twice, because we asked them to.

always a fun band.

Still, there's a lot to be said for tradition. Dashboard lights are romantic unless you have a Pontiac with its "fires-of-Hell-red" lights...worthless trash......grumble, mumble...
