It's simple:

Recording artist = cool (Duran duran, ashley simpson, Tiny Tim, Back street boys, scary spice....yeah cool bunch!)

Recording engineer = the kid that ran the projector in 3rd grade (Bob Rock)

Recording 'artists': Duran duran, ashley simpson, Tiny Tim, Back street boys, scary spice, DEVO....yeah cool bunch!

I generally just look at it and see what freaking stupid software they downloaded on it to screw it up in the first place. If it's easy, I fix it. Then if it looks hard I do one of two things:

1) I tell them to buy some software to fix it
2) I screw it up worse and tell them "I've done all I can do".

When I am diagnosing problems on friends' PCs, I usually poke around for a few minutes and then ask them, "Do you go to porn sites?" And when they respond with "yes," I answer back, "Oh, it has nothing to do with the problems you are having, I was just curious."

I got a friend in trouble with his wife once doing that... I knew his wife was one to hate porn, so I put a bunch on his machine in a dir called TEHHOTCHIX right where it would be seen. His wife went apeshit.

Every one of those mentioned has made more cash and had more chicks (or guys) than all of us put together.

He said she HAS a uniform, not that she was willing to be seen in it. He probably bought it for her and she told him to get bent.

I dunno, I'd like to wager that I have more money than the dead milli vanilli and the live one put together...

USSEnterprise · « **Reply #91 on:** July 01, 2005, 05:48:55 am »

I might be a geek. My name is USSEnterprise, I am watching an episode of Star Trek at 5:45 on DVD. I have a Starfleet uniform, I have autographed pictures from a lot of the cast. I have over 110 Star Trek novels. I help fix other's computers. I set up my family's home theatre system. I have four PC's in my bedroom alone. I might be a geek

JoyMonkey · « **Reply #92 on:** July 01, 2005, 08:10:57 am »

My wife is probably a bigger geek than me. She has read Star Trek novels and also has a Star Trek costume (not sure what type of costume it is, it's of the red miniskirt variety). Not to discriminate though, she also has a Princess Leia costume. A couple of halloweens ago we dressed up like characters from Lexx; that was probably the geekiest thing I've ever done, but my Kai outfit was badass! Only one person in our local bar recognised who we were supposed to be (obviously a complete nerd

).

Most of my collection. I need more shelves.

You got issues shmokes. Issues that need professional assistance.

True that.

Dude, even a hooker will turn around and leave when she comes into your apartment and sees that.

I am at a loss for words there Shmokes.... um..... I'm afraid.

ChadTower · « **Reply #100 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:19:51 am »

Which is scarier: the collection or the custom display cases for it?

They both blend together to form a frighteningly disturbing mental image. It looks like that room should be on an episode of SVU.

Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. It focuses on sexual predators/pedophiles.

Sorry, I forget there are some people in the world that have yet to witness the wonder that is Law and Order.

ChadTower · « **Reply #104 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:26:56 am »

Oh, Law and Order. I don't watch much TV, and with Tivo I rarely watch live TV. Whenever I do flip through live tv, there is a Law and Order show on 75% of the channels. That show must have more spinoffs than a NASCAR race held on Lake Michigan in February.

I can't explain it, but each time I visit this thread to read whats newly added to it, I am drawn to look at the horror that is shmokes' collection.

I know what you mean.... its like a train wreck.. you can't NOT look. In fact, I've looked at it enough now that I'm starting to think it might not be so bad if I got a set of those Simpsons Pez dispensers.........

I have to leave this thread now

ChadTower · « **Reply #107 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:31:40 am »

This is like the kid who comes into school all proud of his new Superman underoos and shows everyone expecting to be cool, only to have everyone laugh at him for a week because he still wears underpants with men on them.

i cant wait for chad to post a pic of his wwf wrestling figure collection

ChadTower · « **Reply #109 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:38:16 am »

I actually have a box of about 45 wrestling guys. I got it off Freecycle and my kids and I play with them every couple of days. The kids love it.

I just wish the box hadn't come with about 8 Mr Ass figures. $:-\$

The fact that you say you play with them with your kids.... and that I'm assuming you haven't constructed a custom shelf/shrine for them.... makes it ok in my book

ChadTower · « **Reply #111 on:** August 24, 2005, 11:46:07 am »

Yeah, I have a 4 year old and a 6 year old. When they're not in use, they're either all over the floor or in a cardboard box in the closet.

Not a collection... they're toys.

Does this mean I should get an agent?

I'll take the job if I can get 15%.

15% of what, I'm not sure.

Well I've projected that my yearly income due to my newfound fame may well exceed 45 cents American.

Once you work out the complicated math, I'll draft a check right away.
