OK
Now I have returned from the land of computerlessness. It feels good. I have a lot of things to say, so if you're looking for a quicky then look somewhere else.
First order of business. Women. Damn, I mean if I could figure them out I guess I'd be gay, but still, the stupidity... err... I mean mystery, continues. Why is it that they feel that the only way to get something from a man is to press up against his body in the most provocative way imaginable (short of actually jerking him off) and whisper in his ear what she wants, unless of course what she wants is the sex, in which case it's cool to ask like that. But really ladies, do you think guys are that fucking shallow? You couldn't just come up to me and say "Hey Gabe, could you help me out?" No no, you feel you have to get my attention with some PG rated seduction technique to possibly get me to think with my cock so I won't notice that I'm doing something nice for you without compensation. Here's an idea. Just ask. For real. Let's look at a case study.
I'm sitting on the couch with a male and a female on either side of me. I get up to grab a coke.

Male friend: Dude get me one while you're up.
Me: Ok (with possible addition of "I got your mom the last time I was up" or some such other classic line)

Ok, lets look at the same situation with the female. I get up to grab a coke.

Female friend: Hey, Gabe (said while twirling hair and looking at me with a pouty face) could you please (said rather baby-talk-ish) get me a coke? Pretty please?
Me: Um... ask me like a grown up and maybe. And I also love how you added "pretty please" on there before I shot you down. Now start back from the beginning.

Some would argue that this is the only way men will respond to women. I argue that those who argue this are full of shit. We do things to be nice to people because generally, people are nice, or at least want to be viewed that way. You know that "do unto others" thing.
Then the best part is these women also want to be respected as equals. Here's a news flash: those who I consider equals don't have to grope me to get me to do something for them. Those who feel they must grope, I do not respect. I'll fuck them, don't get me wrong, but I won't respect them. Which is really why men still rule shit. Women want to be treated with respect and seen as equal to men, but they don't want to act the part.
As usual, this does not apply to all women. There are many women (many who are my close friends) who do not fit this description. There are even a few men I'm sure who do this. But the fact remains that it pisses me off that a woman assumes that by trying to act sexy she can get something out of me that she could just as easily get by straight up asking me.

Beyond that, I finally have my room set up. It's totally awesome, and you should come see it. I just put up an auction for a miniature with a Buy It Now price of $8,000,000. For those of you who can't actually read numeric, that's Eight Million Dollars. I figure (with the help of the brilliant but deluded Mr. Upchurch) that the rich have to spend their money somehow, and why not buy a multi-million dollar paperweight. A lot of other stuff just sold for a lot of money, but unfortunately nobody took the Buy It Now option on that one. Alas.

Well that's about it for a long, long post. May the Khorne be with you, as saying the Force would obviously be a scientific mistake according to Dr. Murphy.
