But then he wouldn't be so good at football. American football for Omlette. :P .

EDIT: Why am I always the one who starts a new page...? I think it's another CONSPARICY!

Alorael, since 1999, chess has been classed as an official sport. So :-p.

In football, I make a good corner or receiver (SIRS). Speed and quickness help.

SMoE, same here... o.O it's weird...

I am generally not good at sports, but I'm not too bad at defense (in general) and sometimes I end up surprising people (who expects the geeky kid with glasses to jump up, snag the football, hit the ground and roll so fast no one knows what's happening, and sprint like crazy into the endzone?) but I'm hoping to fix that this summer... I've got some very athletic friends, I'm sure they can help me out...

Nobody, which is why nobody's surprised when it doesn't happen.

Note to self: check profiles of all newbies with suspiciously good grammar. How do you know he/she isn't new? The profile's almost completely blank.

I know who he is, but not how PBR found out. Possibly the sig, since I have no clue what it means...

-E-

EDIT: Actually, there is a post in the Leylines Teaser thread by someone with the same member number calling themselves E.U., which would imply that this isn't a newbie...

Varelse's login name is either a red herring or it spells out who he/she is. I suspect the latter.

—Alorael, who abuses mod powers once again. There is nothing as identifying as the name by which members identify themselves.

...Except that it does happen, in my case anyway.

So is Varelse E.U. or not? I've been waiting for E.U. to come back again, he was pretty funny the last two times...

EDIT: Wait, the E.U. in the Leylines topic has only four posts, I'm sure E.U. had at least 15 last time he was here. An imposter? New account? Something?

yay for pet peeves. :rolleyes:

People.
People who contradict everything you do just because they are imbeciles but won't accept it.
Me.
People who want to be my friends just because I'm smarter than them.
Imbeciles.
Government.
Commercials that have almost nothing to do with what they are advertising.
America.
Dell, for their computers are even worse at doing things than I am.
Persons who look at one thing you do and base their judgment on that one thing. People do this to me all the time.

That's it, for now.

My actual pet peeves (funny word, never heard before):

Sir David: You misunderstand. Varelse is not EU, but changed his name to EU for that one post on that other thread, thus giving away that he isn't a newbie. That is all.

Another one: When someone or something does this or something like it:

'Welcome! You have one (1) message!'

The person reading it can read, tha person obviously doesn't need your help to know the word 'one'.

Varelse is EU.
EU is Guavamanic.
Guavamanic is Mr. Smartey Man.

People with brains can now put 2 and 2 and 2 together. Make sure to tell Sir David when you're done.

To comment on something that NaCN said,
i find it ironic that a lot of people who like punk dislike rap and vice versa. Early punk and early rap were both virulent expressions of the musicians' distaste for the establishment.
However, since then, both have devolved into empty posturing with very few exceptions.
