Going Outside

Face it, you're gonna have to go outside eventually. Sure, Amazon.com will deliver right to your door and now even Taco Bell does deliveries, but, mark my words: some day you're going to HAVE to push away from the computer and go ... OUTSIDE!!! Here's a guide:

Wear Pants - Countless attempts to better oneself have been cut tragically short by leaving the house without proper attire.

Use Your Real Name - Sorry, but nobody will be impressed if you go by the name "2HOT4U", "Monarch" or "SATAN666." Names like "Steve" or "Greg" are just fine.

The Telephone is Your Friend - Hear that ringing sound? Pick up the phone. Now speak into it.

If Your Car Crashes, You Cannot Simply Reboot It.

Do Not Be Surprised That Nobody Looks Like Gillian Anderson.

Do Not Flame People - Comparing everyone you disagree with to unclean primates will not win you friends. In fact, you may get into a physical fight. If so, the next tip may be of help.

That Red Stuff is Called Blood - Not to be confused with ketchup, blood is what keeps you alive. If you are leaking, the real world offers human tech support in the form of doctors and hospitals.

oooo ok opps that Was my fault....I guess

armageddon272 10-23-2004 11:58 PM

who are you kidding? ill never have to go outside for anything. i can get food from delivering restaraunts, education from the university of pheonix online, and i can get a job as a telecommuter. there is no reason to have to be out where picking up everything you see is called kleptomania instead of good strategy. where jumping on someone's head will never work. where touching something with a big red cross on it will not heal the countless cuts all over your body. nah, its too gruesome out there. lets see if anyone here know the references i was making.

LennonCook 10-24-2004 12:35 AM

<span style="color: lightblue">Aramgeddon,
"Picking up everything you see" - basically every game with a concept of an inventory.
"Jumping on someone's head" - the many many Mario games.
"Touching something with a big red cross" - Quake?

Iron Greasel 10-24-2004 01:08 PM

"Picking up everything you see"
Ahhh... The memories... The Secret of Monkey Island...

Gxc 10-24-2004 01:16 PM

But the sun is sooo bright ill die.. :(

Iron Greasel 10-24-2004 01:25 PM

Sunlight can't kill you, it'll just make your eyes to boil in their sockets. So wear sunglasses.

RoSs_bg2_rox 10-24-2004 03:21 PM

Wow! What kinda graphics card have they got out here? I really need to get one!

armageddon272 10-24-2004 04:50 PM

Sorry I didn't have the original source or I would have given credit.

You see, on any other forum, this may be helpful. But, to be honest, on IW it's pointless. It's the friendliest happiest most lawyer free (Sorry Timber [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) place on earth. Nobody can say anything even slightly nasty without having to apologise. As demonstrated a few words back. It's a bit too friendly... In fact...


I hate you all....

That's why there are people like me and Vaskez that bust each others chops without taking offense to it, we balance everything out that way :D
