Was her nickname "Stalker Girl"? Do you and CapMandrake move in the same circles?

P.S. I assume that anyone name Brad who likes to sail must have long, wavy blonde hair that renders him a babe magnet whether he wanted to be one or not. Now, you may not have blonde hair, but that's the image I have of you. Kind of like hearing someone on the radio for years and mentally forming a picture that turns out to be wildly inaccurate.

So....what kind of subconscious mental images have we forumites formed of the following:

CapMandrake
Sulu Sea
Chickenboy
Alfred
Terminus

Just to name a few?

I don't know about the face, but Chickenboy's better involve rubber gloves.

Nice topic [:D] With wife and small daughter, itīs really hard to play at home. Fortunately, I spend quite a lot of time in the train while commuting to the job so...Sometimes itīs funny to watch other people trying to realize what the hell Iīm doing on that computer [:)]. Oh, and nights in hotels when I have some meeting or conference abroad are dedicated to gaming as well.

I was playing WITP on my laptop while flying to Honolulu several years ago. A very nice lady form the midwest was sitting next to me and kept glancing over at my screen during the several hours I was working on turn one. Finally she turned to me and asked: "You have a very high IQ, don't you?"

How do you respond to such a question??? I fumbled through a self-effacing response of some sort...

To which you would reply; "Of course I don't have my underwear. I'm definitely not wearing my underwear. "

If BradfordKay is a babe magnet, this probably illustrates the difference between us. We are both UGA grads. Years ago, while a junior, I was flying home to Miami for spring break, seated beside a very pretty coed from Purdue. We talked about the things we enjoy (my list ran to things like history, hiking, reading, etc.). After we finished, she declared, "You sound like you're 40 years old." Boys, I think I missed a chance there to make some points with a pretty coed. This probably explains my long record of futility in college, too.

I had a friend in college whose girlfriend gave him an ultimatum: either wargames or her. He chose her. Eight years later she divorced him and took him to the cleaners. It seems to me that he made the wrong choice.

Anytime your mate resents your hobbies is not a good situation. Typically to me that means that you made a bad choice in a mate... she didn't fall in love with you, she fell in love with who she wanted you to be.

That was very sage advice, sir.


You have a really high IQ, don't you?

I don't recall if I have at some point agreed not to teach WiTP AE to our 1 year old daughter...
