    Now that the Macintosh has joined the ranks, "don't ask, don't tell" is in full force. (it is just a joke macaddicts...I support macs as part of my job...)

    Gee, the US hasn't had conscripts since the '70s so maybe you have no idea what you're talking about.

    Btw: unless you want to categorize Rush Limbaugh as a sunflower-loving hippie, mac users are a bit more diverse than the stereotype.

  4. High scores? by psyconaut · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you get really high scores, do you get a knock-on-the-door in the middle of the night and whisked away to a secret CIA training camp? ;-)

    You too can follow the orders of an idiot leader who presents false evidence, finds out it's forged,

    Hey, we're not talking about Clinton bombing an aspirin factory on bad info here! He's not even President anymore.

    Oh... oh, you were talking about Bush.....

  7. The Last Starfighter by amichalo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Does this remind anyone else of the 80's movie The Last Starfighter where the goofy kid living in a California trailer park gets the high score on a video game and gets recruited by the "Star Leauge" to save the Earth or Universe or Star Leauge or something like that?

    This really could become some next generation of recruitment.

    I mean, think of the possibilities for NASCAR to recruit top scorers for Gran Turismo, or the National Football Leauge to recruit top scorers of Madden 2004. Heck, if you can wiggle your fingers fast you must be able to do the real thing too. I'd hate to get in a kick boxing competition with the high scorer of Dynasty Wariors 4. I bet that overweight 12 year old would use the old A-B-A-B-B on my ass and the next thing I know he'd be holding my beating heart in his hand!

    All of a sudden I miss the 80's
