Oh, yeah. I do MOST of the time, even. I’ve just fallen into a “don’t wanna go to work/don’t wanna go out/as a matter of fact I’m ill” kind of daze. What’s your excuse? ---

Hi Chris Before you get tooo comfortable, maybe you should head on over to the TMI thread and see what kind of people you are dealing with. ---

_ahem_ M-Chris. You don’t want to hunt up the TMI thread. The stats threads are bad enough. But don’t say we didn’t warn you when you go look anyway. And welcome to the zoo. Everybody. We should get this straight soon, this is a disaster waiting to happen. There is me, MC, and MetropoChris. MC is not a good nicname for the other two. I’m proposing Medea’s for me and M-Chris for this new guy. Nymysys. You’re flirting with Le Sang (I refuse to use that acronym…) Even after learning he’s an engineeirng student. You are a freak. Its okay, you are an adorable freak and we like you. I’ll have a cider if someone will contribute to my deliquency… ---

Le Sang. Fine. Engineers are great people. Electrical Engineers are freaks with no lives. **Chemical** Engineers on the other hand, are paragons of virtue and delight. And we can cook! Happy now, acronym boy? ---

a bit; at least you cut the number of people you’ve insulted - would have been better to direct it at me personally though; no need to take this out on poor Rich too… [aside] hmm… it may be time to change name to Lord of Chagrin… worked on IM… [/aside] ---
