    Yeah, right. All that hassle for a phone number?

    I already have the phone number. Evidently someone found Link wandering around his neighborhood wearing a bicycle helmet (in case he fell and hit his head). On the helment was one of those medical info stickers that provided his home phone number in case someone found him wandering around without supervision. Instead of calling the number, they posted it on the internet. Of course the story took a bit of a nasty turn when someone called and told Link that he was Link's father, and that the guy that was sharing his mother's bed was... waitaminit, this is getting out of hand... Forget I said anything. No, really. And put that camera away...

      By now you should know me. You can't bring up a term of that's of interest to me, that I don't know about, and expect me not to ask. So, what's the imposter ring of a cloud?

        You do realize that most games take a year or two with a team of programmers right? Actually my games still haven't been done. One came close. But the ideas I came up with are still unique. I just got caught up with live visualization/simulation without the plot. ;)

                  His reply was the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Your offer here is to generous. If he accepts the former I want a Link-skin wallet but I won't pay much for it probably isn't worth much.:-D

                      I've considered that I'm either bored or simply apathetic towards meandering speeches containing immense words woven so closely within the context of the current dialogue. However, our hero has inspired me, and I therefore acquiesce to his challenge of vitriolic reparté. Still, he pursues a cowards's course in that he refuses to participate once the gauntlet is returned in kind. The last fair maiden that recieved words such as these became smitten with me. Nay, and I should expect the same surrender from one so lovely as yourself, for I am already smitten by thee. :) Man, how did people get anything done back then? All those flowery words just to tell someone you wanna hookup with 'em... Sheesh! :) -- modified at 14:01 Monday 28th August, 2006
