Sure, I'll even let ya pick if I drive my Pathfinder or Z. 8)John Reynolds said:
Baron-I was teasing you young-un.
It's the jealously of youth in me, please don't take it too hard.

That would be interesting. He's got the reach, strength, and speed advantage; but I fight dirty and have no sense of restraint nor compulsions about "fair fighting" or "non-crippling injuries" and such.The Baron said:
I'm curious about John's training level. I ain't got nothing formal, but my father was an intensily insane marine who taught me how to kill/cripple a man 4-5 different ways to Sunday before I was 8....kind of made me nervous about fighting since I knew how easy it was to really break someone broken like. :?
But I'm game, I think my life insurance is up to date. 8)
/me is totally a baby.
it's topics like these, coincidentally, that make me wish B3D had an IRC channel, or at least an unofficial one.

Great, a geriatric deathmatch. I would blind Diggie with the contents of my coloscopy bag and then whop all over him.
Auto Overclocking! Magic! Ati Technical Superiority Proved! ATI! ATI!

Hellbinder called me an idiot once. I win!John Reynolds said:Heh, being called a ninny by Sage = priceless.
You definitely have the sight advantage Digi, you can see obvious IQ differences between a GF6800 and a RadeonX800. That's a feat, man.digitalwanderer said:

But there's already one... Oh, wait, you probably don't have access to it yet...The Baron said:

Heh, Doomtrooper once accused me of being an NVIDIA ****** at Rage3D. You just can't top that.
Hmm, not very flattering description for me, though if my gay lover, Tim Murray, would bring one of those laser pens and reflect it off my forehead while sitting in the crowd and blind Diggie with it, my victory would be ensured.

Actually the topper was the guy at HardOCP who said that bit about "Who is this nobody Dave Baumann to be telling someone how to review a graphics card", or something to that effect.
The laser trick wouldn't work on me, I take my glasses off to fight and am blind as a wombat without 'em so it would just be disabling a disabled system.
Hmmm, how much you weighing now John? At 5' 9-3/4" I'm down to a svelt 235.

I think we should schedule a real-time B3D chat someday, those are fun if not done too often. I always used to love the pre-chat times before the big online chat interviews, those were always the most fun parts.The Baron said:
People from all the different sites meeting and greeting was just too fun, I'd always get bored once the actual chat started and everyone was silenced....I always thought they should have a parrelel sideboard for comments on the main chat.

I'm 5' 11.5" and weigh 205 these days. I've put 10 lbs back on in the last year, but I'm still working out 4-5x each week. Your goal would be to end the fight fast, since you'll definitely be the first out of wind (I average close to 2 hours on a cross country machine each week, plus weight lifting).
There's nothing "svelt" about your height and weight either.

Actually I meant it rather humorously, but there is some truth to it. I'm rather large boned to begin with and wear weight well, people never believe me to be over 200. (I come from solid mountain dwarf stock on my great-grandpappies side, it also explains my hair toes and knuckles.)John Reynolds said:There's nothing "svelt" about your height and weight either.
I was actually up to 245 but lost it down to 230 in a hurry with the "2 weeks of puking and shitting 'cause you're sick" diet, (effective, but NOT recomended), but the 5lbs I've put on since have been muscle and not flab as I've been actually making a commitment to be more active lately. (I'm not quite up to a work-out routine yet, but I will be once I get my living room done. 8) )
Yeah, I'd have to finish it fast to get a win. I'd probably put me betting money on you, but I can guarantee ya I'd make sure you knew you'd earned the win.
Give me about 3 months of actual working out and I might change that opinion, all the construction I've been doing around the house has been getting me cocky....it's nice to have some strength again, y'know?
Today is my last day of work. I just got my last paycheck. I have two things to do before I go home and play the hell out of Fallout and Fallout 2 for the next three weeks. Plus reading, finding things for dorm room, etc.
Fuck Yeah.
Fuck Yeah.
Heh, the help desk lady called in sick today so I'm sitting here answering the phone and dealing with people who walk up to our counter.
"Hey, you're not Sara!" "No, I'm Sara 2.0, the new and improved version <g>!"

Well my my day ended like it went all day yesterday:
And on an even more delightful note my CPU/cooler is on a train stuck somewhere between Hodgkins, IL and Hammond, IN and no one seems to know why. :? There's still a 50/50 chance it'll make it to somewhere I can go and pick it up today though, but I'm NOT exactly gonna hold my breath.digitalwanderer over at EB said:
