I’m a white kid who plays _San Andreas_. Does this mean I’m a gangsta?

A first-person shooter is a gun simulator in the same way that Atari 2600 “Bi-Planes” is a flight simulator.

Uh-oh. I think I’ve got an appointment to cancel.

[QUOTE=Nava]  
If I walk up to a polar bear in the zoo and make cooing noises at him, I’ll be able to teleport him in and out of existence?

Somehow I dooooon’t think so. Yet I’ve had a white bear 'porting in and out of existence for 60 levels, and I’ve tamed and discarded two other white bears…

Being able to drop a bear on top of some people’s desks would certainly be nice.  
[/QUOTE]

Get one of the Aussie dopers to send you some drop bears, that’ll do the trick.
