    Time for another "Who are those people around you" thread. After surpassing 1,000 posts at an embarrassing rate, I had to reflect on my bbs/chat life. So, I decided to get away for awhile and have a movement by myself. When I was done with that, I decided that writing posts from my laptop on the John is not something that is healthy for me to continue.

    For a brief moment during the Bulls game, I thought of purging myself of ClutchCity until next season. But then my girlfriend stopped staring at me and walked back out of the room, and I was back typing away at the game chat.

    Could you purge this bbs from your life? Cold turkey, or the step program? If you can't answer that, what other caves do you think members around you attend? Who do you think gets around the most?

    I'm pretty shure Mantronix is the stealth moderator for

    The people that can, heypartner, already have-- they jumped off the bandwagon weeks ago, when the playoffs became an unrealistic goal.

    They'll be back, as soon as we're winning again.

    I'm on step 6 to recovery. It's not easy, but the first thing you've got to do is admit you've got a problem Crisco. There's no rapid detox, you need to withdraw slowly, One post at a time.

    Ha ha - I won! I got that little button pretty quickly.
    So, did it take you six minutes to find the site, or six minutes to remember the URL?

    heypartner:
    I kinda feel sorry for you. I do not ever write while on the toilet (of course, I do not have a laptop - making that rather difficult). You have only been registered a few weeks longer than I have (I was the first week in November) and my numbers are paltry compared to yours. I think after 1000 posts, you have no choice, the BBS is in your blood - you get the shakes. It burns. You are a lost cause. I, like Crisco, am just riding the wave for a little while. I am using the BBS - it is not using me. Once I have "experienced" it enough, I will stop. I almost stopped a few weeks ago, then I saw all of those ????'s and !!!!'s and had no choice but to click on them so they would stop yelling at me...
    What was the topic of this post again? What time is it?

    Rimbaud,

    You may express sympathy...but I detect some empathy consistent with a recovering TombRaider drooler. That's how I learned to use my laptop on the toilet.

    also, I hear CBrownFanClub is launching a chat to follow the SA playoffs, so they can lash out at Avery Johnson in unison...

    Avery is the anti-Brown.

    Honestly, I have never played TombRaider - never even seen it played. My addiction was Civ and then Civ II.

    I don't really play either...I just like watching the heroine jump around.

    Mulder...
    Tell Rimbaud about that X-Files a couple weeks back with the Virtual Reality game and the butt.

    Everything in moderation....that is the key to bbs.clutchcity.net happiness.

    I allow myself only two dozen posts a month and only one "well thought out" post a year.

    Using the laptop on the toilet? Thats crazy. I already spend enough time in there with a magazine or something. The nice thing about sitting on the pot is that no one can bother you while you are in there. But, if I had a computer in there.....nevermind. Thats just too scary a thought! No one would ever see me again except you guys.

    Well, I have been here since 1996 and I can tell you that I almost quit one time when Clutch told me that you can go blind doing this too much.

    Last time I checked, I got 20/20 vision so I am not quitting! I am gonna keep stroking these keys and trying to post something with some sense until they pry my laptop or pc from my dead, cold fingers!

    And Partner, I am writing to you on my laptop here at home and I am directly across my bathroom. Should I...I just cant! [​IMG]

    Almu "Well, I have been here since 1996..."

    Almu, That's a long time to be in the bathroom. Move your PC back to your desk, please! (just kidding)

    HeyPardner,

    At least you can claim this is educational -- debates, exchanging ideas, etc. You can make the case that it's better to participate in a forum than play Tomb Raider 24/7.

    Even though I get the feeling that some posters would like for me to kick the habit, I won't. [​IMG]

    I plan on sticking around even after the Dream retires.... thank goodness for Stevie.

    Darn...looks like coming out of the water closet myself wasn't enough to get someone to admit they've done toilet chatting.

    Actually, I haven't myself...but maybe tonight!!

    HeyPartner that only happened to me once(and will never happen again): there was less then a minute to go. And I just had to go but the game was so close. Thankfully I have a long phone cord.

    Well I didnt have the computer on my lap it was a little ways away on the floor so I could see the chat.
