    Oyveh! Who knows? People do weird things. I mean who would have thought that wearing jeans that hang halfway off your ass would *still* be a fashion trend among clueless young men 10 years later! I presume that the people who genuinely question whether you're a girl or not are the same ones who got burned on AOL sex chat rooms thinking they were hitting on a hot 25 year old, only to discover it was a 45 year old weirdo. ¡El diablo está en mis pantalones! ¡Mire, mire!

    There are sex chat rooms on the Internet? Why didn't anyone tell me? And here I have been spending my time tutoring and helping little old ladies across the street...;P

        Hey there Super Lloyd. Now that your previous message has accumulated 2 votes of 5, I should mention that if you expect CP to keep your moniker intact, you might want to consider demonstrating your "super" powers. Perhaps asking "Which one would you advise" would be more "super" than "Which one would you advice to me?" :-D

          Yeah, I was saying last Friday I need to change my login in name to something feminine. Someone suggested Bubba, but hey! I'm north of the Mason-Dixon line. But now it sucks to know you're all the way in NYC. I was going to send you a cake or something for your help.

          Instead of a cake, I'd much rather you send me a photo of yourself. I'm always curious what the people I chat with actually look like. That would be great. If you feel comfortable doing it, send the pic to flapplejacks@gmail.com Looking forward to it Lex! Josh

                Yeah, I know that. But thanks for pointing it out anyways. I feel like I'm in "The Lounge" of a soccer site. I don't understand why all these soccer rants are being posted here, on a software dev site, that's all. :) Adios amigo, josh

                Turn on your TV - you might notice this little thing called the World Cup going on at the moment. Don't worrry though, it will be over in a couple of weeks and we can get back on-topic and talk about how rubbish Bush is, how not all muslims are terrists, and how oil is the real reason for the war.

                  Being the American which I inevitably am, I cannot understand for one second what on Earth is so damn appealing about soccer. Why do some many people keep posting soccer rants on a web site dedicated to software?! Aren't there soccer (football, whatever) sites to which you can post these rants?

                        Yeah, I played soccer when I was a kid. Never found it to be much fun. Then again, I don't care for sports in general - especially not watching other people play them.

                          I know the World Cup is underway. I just don't see why folks keep posting about it at CP.

                            A year or two back it got so bad the cricket posts were banished to the Soapbox. Chris got tired of cleaning the blood spatter off the Lounge.

                              Yummy. X| The Lounge page should have a filter which optionally removes any posts with words like "football", "soccer", "cricket", etc. That way, the people who don't come to CodeProject to chat about sports won't have to wade their way through those posts.

                                  The lounge isn't for software only, but to talk about anything else. A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.

                                    This is the lounge. And considering the way Australia lost the match, it deserves more rant post. :)

                                    Yeh, that was really unfair. It was an amazing surprise how Australians played, they diserved to win the game. A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.

                                      I know that. But thanks for taking the time to point it out. I don't come to CodeProject for life's other stuff. Why post about soccer (or baseball, or bicycling) over and over and over on a site that has nothing to do with it. That's all I'm saying. I think it's great that people are really into soccer and think it's the best. I just don't understand why people slam the CP boards with rants about soccer. josh

                                      There are forums for talking about software inside CP, and there is one fourm -the lounge- for talking about anything else, like soccer. A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.

                                        I actually do :P It was as watching the F1 car races a few years ago, when Schumacher ruled. The interesting thing about Tour de France, as well as the F1 races, was knowing who won the sencod place, since Armstrong (and Shumacher) always wins the 1st. Now this time will be different...

                                          I'm wondering about buying some soccer video game. Which one would you advise to me? ;P

                                          I bought FIFA Soccer 04, and it was fantastic: my team -Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz- appeared as well as the hole teams of mexican premiere league :P Furthermore, it is an amazing game, the narrators, the players, etc. A polar bear is a bear whose coordinates has been changed in terms of sine and cosine.
