the second Tuesday of the month is a day you look forward to

some of the best political jokes you can think of seems to involve Google

you surf the net to find out what is there to see on TV

you surf the net to find out what is there to see on the movies

when somebody asks you on the street how to go from point A to point B, you wish you could surf the net to find that out

you know of at least 4 different ways of doing anything on the computer

when you read something computer related on the morning paper, you are surprised they publish something you already knew about last night

during the fire, u ran back in to save you own 1337 computer

incase of fire, u save your computer than ur annoying brother or pets

instead of using the 1000 food budget money for university/college, u spend it on a uber 7800Ulta, and eat Mr.noodle for the rest 3 months

allenpan · Post by **allenpan** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 4:18 am

on your 30th birthday instead of ordering girl in a cake, u order a 8Way Xeon

during hallowin instead giving candy to kids, u give them a stick of 30pin 1 MB ram cover with fuge

to show off your manhood to a girl, u challage the compatitor to a folding contest

allenpan · Post by **allenpan** » Mon Jul 25, 2005 4:25 am

in the hot summer day, you and your gril friend are sweating like crazy on the bed, u ran out and bought a march3 vaporchill and AC for your computer and tell ur girlfriend to share with it.

when she dump you, you no longer feel baracated and tell your pc that "i still have and i will always be with u"

instead of buying diamond for ur aniversory, u bought a 7800Ultra and tell your wife that the new 16X Anti-aliasing will make u looks prettier, hoter and smoother

You spend more time contemplating your next Hardware purchase then you spend with your wife.

Amen to the above, and also when you turn on all your system, the lights in your house dim for a second..

when you sit in class and stare off into space, place your hands on the desk as if there were a keyboard and mouse beneath your hands, and play a little counterstrike while the professor's talking about God knows what.

How about you know you're an overclocker if:

You know your DRAM timings off by heart.
And you can say them backwards too.
You have no side panel.
You check the weather to determine your day's overclock.
Your room's heating is never on.
You spend hours trying to get just a few 100 points more in 3DMark.
Your computer runs at a temp that you know is unhealthy.
You subscribe to more than one custom PC enthusiast magazine.
You own a fan controller.
Your're tried to modify your case for more intake of air.
