'cept back in my day, we didnt have Poly, nor Facebook, heck, I dont think we had PC's (or Internet or even AOL)

lol, I had facebook on the brain when I wrote that post. I edited it to change the first instance, but then the second one creeped back in.

Usenet!
Mostly the Stars! newsgroup but also other games.

I've also been highly active on certain Warcraft 3 forums at certain times.

I had a nice and fullfilling off line life, but then I found this hellhole.

Alot of instant messaging with folks i met on the net, dont recall where i met them, i came to polly to see what had tuber so busy infront of the computer while we were in hawaii. I guess i can say he was bored while i was at work.

I played civ2, got a job, wanted to play at work but was too chicken sheit to load it on my computer there, years pass... Played Civ3, decided to look up ppl to talk about the game with while at work, did that for like 2 days, found the OT, and the rest is history...

Apolyton and message boards in general don't interest me as much as IRC does (hence why I have not advanced past King having been here close to eight years). I like the instant feedback that IRC trolling provides. But before the internet, I got my kicks on local talk back radio and phoning people randomly to have a rant (before phone numbers were accessible to the call receiver).

I had so much fun phoning local talk back shows. My alien joke always got past the 10 second delay too...

What do you do if you come across an alien in your backyard? Wipe it off and say sorry...

Pretty much the same thing I do here, but in real life.

If it doesn't interest you, kick rocks.

[Bkeela]

It interests me more than kicking rocks.

Ok, before we get into it, I feel it only fair to tell you that I have ninja warriors that have yiou surrounded.
We can call this off now, and each return home to our respective families, or it's "eeeeeee yi yi yi yi!" time, and I dont want that here on a family forum.
