    Talk for yourself, grandpa! :-) What happened to the times when we enjoyed being idiots and script kiddies ourselves?

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

      Did you ever win any of them? Or did it just get more acrimonious until someone just stopped responding? :laugh:

          I'm offended by the lack of racial minorities in that video! There's only one black man and he's a big pastor. This video is clearly racist.

            When I was a young idiot I had no chance to hide behind anonymity - embarrassment was public and face-to-face... Now, that I'm an old idiot I behave myself (probably because of the experience)...

                I never was a script kiddie in the narrow sense. They were not invented yet. But what do you think the guys at the first newly opened computer stores thought when some kid walked in and told them to throw away their BASIC and get a good assembler. :-)

                  Me too. Once you know you're an idiot then life tends to become less embarrassing. And even better now all thos Soapbox posts have been deleted. :-O

                    You are not allowed to use the term "racist" in the Lounge. Move that kind of talk to the Soapbox. This place is only for Elephants that eat bacon, and tell really, really bad jokes.

                      Perhaps we need two new forums: 1. "The pig sty" - for all matters relating to bacon 2. "Dad's army" - for all the dad jokes
