Sometimes, I just can't help being a little ornery.

I work with a retired nurse who is not very into the "internets". So, being the gear head and slacker that I am, I usually have something at work that I shouldn't, like my laptop or my Gameboy. So, basically she has seen be intently staring at both of them from time to time. The other day, she asks me what my Gameboy is:

"Is it just like your other computer, only a scaled-down version?"

[I can't help being bad at this point, so I say]

"Yeah, I'm just checking my email"

[All the while, I'm trying to kick some butt with my killer deck playing Yugi-Oh]

Life is good.

Oh yeah, if you need to email me, I did bring my Gameboy today and will reply as soon as possible.

So you made fun of an old woman with a stupid joke and came here to brag about it?

Well done my good man! Here, have a trophy!

Is it a pizza trophy? [ROFL]

Alucard, I'm shocked you would take advantage of---oh who am I kidding, that was too funny! Does she have a good sense of humor? If she ever finds out from her grandson you can't check email with a Gameboy... watch out!

pooka, your spanking visual pleases me. [Wave]
