Not sure how you can be a jock and a nerd.... is that like an insecure athlete?

Naw...I actually wanted to get into the space program.......My dad shot that dream down straight away...so I compensated by playing football....I was a pretty decent QB.....

Now I just program shit and dream about past glory........LOL

that's crap.. you should be a salesman (then again, maybe not....)

I was a tackling dummy when I was a freshman.

Ended up a kicker in college. Only position I played other than punter or place-kicker was Defensive End.

I graduated high school in 1975. A generation caught between Vietnam and Calvin Klein. I saw the dye fad away and alligators appear on polo shirts. It was a time before labels, aside from jock. I was involved in jazz band and football. I was the public address guy in the morning home room period, a Theian and a varsity defensive lineman. I defied labels.

I graduated in 74'.


What's a Theian?

A Thespian. Damn auto-correct.

Bugger auto-correct.

That too. I didn't play many video games then (I do now), but I played a lot of Magic: The Gathering.

I have a lot of positive memories of high school, but I was certainly what you would call a fuck-up back then.

Back when I was a kid Pong was popular.

Now I play multiplayer online. Used to get my ass kicked by 12 year olds. Now it's mostly Japanese guys who play 24/7. Some of them do some stuff that I used to think was hacking. Nope. Some of them have been doing it for 15 - 20 years. Me....Only 2 years.

I guess it depends what games you play - I find most of the people I end up playing against are in that first category you mentioned - 12 year olds.

That's why I stopped using my headset while playing.
