*claps*

Those professors are quite clever...

Now, if an interviewee is uncooperative, could you pwn them?

This makes me want to go back to school.

[Me to Wife] Honey, I can’t help you with the kids tonight. I have a ton of homework.

[Wife to Me while I’m playing NWN] I thought you said you had home work.

[Me to Wife] Yeah, the instructor wants us to get to level 20 before the end of the semester.

The same for me. I learned English pretty much from playing computer games, while I could never pick up other languages I was learning at school (German for example).

<Ronnin> damm not even a kiss??
<Chasmania> Kiss Fuzz? I'd rather fellate a goat.

<Chasmania> there are many roads to Rome..they just picked a shit filled alley full of scabby hookers and bums.
