North America's Largest LAN Party

An anonymous reader sends this early announcement (registration will open later in the month) for Fragapalooza, writing "North America's largest LAN party is coming again this year. Scheduled for July 17th - 20th, 4 Days of non-stop gaming. If the numbers are the same as last year we should see roughly 1100 people packing the Mayfield Trade Center in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Sponsors for past events included some of the biggest names in technology including Intel, Microsoft, ATI, Sympatico and Cisco just to name a few."

The origin of geeks

Geekmli: It's true you don't see many geek women. And in fact, they are so alike in voice and appearance, they are often mistaken for dwarf men.

Arageek: It's the beards.

Geekmli: And this in turn has given rise to the belief that there are no geek women. And the geeks just, spring out of holes in the ground! Which is of course ridiculous.

Canada Eh?

Ah my family's homeland. What better place is there to frag but in a country where you don't worry about getting shot. We can only hope that it's going to have lots of caffeine and the bathrooms are plentiful.

Yeah, like the other day down here in Pensylvania, in this crime-riddled country called the US, and I was walking along, and i turn around and there's a gang of thugs (okay they were Amish), playing loud music on their boom boxes with their baggy, sagging pants (fine, fine, they were singing 'I love Jesus' and were dressed in overalls) brandishing knives and loading up their gats (rakes, gats, farming equipment -- whatever: it's all dangerous shit) ready to pop a cap in Jebadiah (your's truly). Sweet Lord, I'm sure glad I ducked into that barn and waited for them to pass.

Recognize anyone?

[sql*kitten]

You can bet that most of these people will be there...

Too small for you? You prefer a higher concentration of sweaty, pear-shaped losers?

I'm sure that Angel Munoz

is throwing a temper tantrum right about now.
