I am laughing my head off. (I can only wish it were something else...) I can relate to most of these and eveything has been so humerous. Pause while I wipe off my orange-sticky (Cheetos) keys. What a hilarious 14 year old ... just proves to me that games do enhance the mind. And cats! My Aunt Clara is very good at nudging my hand ie. mouse at the very wrong moment and resulting in dire threats which are never carried out, of course. What a great thread. I don't feel so alone here at GB!! My hubbie is very patient as to my game addiction but actually, nobody in my real world really gets it. What a refreshing moment! Lotus 
Lotus Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.

Uh oh, he knows it from experience.
When this thing finally cr*ps out for good I'm gonna take it out into this huge field behind our house and destroy it.
I'll take everything out I can reuse beforehand, though.
The dread of evil is a much more forcible principle of human actions than the prospect of good.

agree with everyone!!! good laughs.. and speaking of crumbs in keyboard, maybe that is why my Q key doesnt work, I need to copy paste it from other sources, just glad its not the R key!!!!
Well it is a blue tooth and will be glad to get a new keyboard, 30.cause I need my pc decked out for GAMES, with all the RIGHT SPECS and Hard/Software...
I gave my husband one of my old PC's and am taking it back, to put a Dos Box on it, so I can play my growing pile of older games, like Shivers, and Gabriel Knights.... it never ends, and happily never will !!!!

Why is it when I get in a battle with fairies, the **&# phone rings and I can't pause. Bets Bets, always happens to me  I do answer the phone but family may be greeted with "Just a sec--it's a crucial cutscene and I can't pause it." What number are we on now? The true gamer really confuses folks when answering the politely tendered inquiry "What are you doing?" Instead of answering "playing a game" I often answer something like "Crawling through a sewer trying to kill enough orcs to come out alive at the end." or "Spraying these stupid wasps so I can get a loquat for the iguana." These answers often elicit an incredulous "What?"

^  L4L Can so relate to that one! Last week a co-worker asked if I had plans for the evening and I told her that I had to rescue Nancy Drew from the sewers because I'd left her in there for about two weeks due to being so busy recently. Her response: "You left who where??"

I've been a space janitor, a "mighty pirate", private investigators and police detectives. I've even been a woman. And I was a bug once.
