Title: Top Ten Ways to Tell You're Playing Too Much AH
Post by: Simaril on June 28, 2004, 05:49:43 PM: As a (no doubt brief) break from urgent BBS rantings, I humbly submit the following Ten Ways to Tell You're Playing Too Much AH.

10. You keep checking 6 on your riding mower.

9. You want your friends to call you by your screen name -- and you're a "numbers guy."

8. You're always looking under your neighbor's car for a red icon.

7. You ask your wife if she can put up with the labor pains until after squad night's over.

6. You just don't remember your kid's 6th grade year.

5. The chessboard just looks wrong because the Rooks, Knights, and Bishops are all on the same side.

4. You call the minivan a "Buff."

3. You keep trying to put the flaps down as you park the car.

2. You call dropping the kids off "kicking the drunks out of the goon" -- and you're talking to your pastor.

And Number One:

1. When your butt fuses itself to your computer chair!!!

[Any other ideas?? Let's have some fun!}

You find yourself responding by accident to the person on the other end of the phone with "Roger" and "Copy"

And if they ask if you can hear them you say "555"

I've personally caught myself saying "roger" and "copy"

Usually the person on the other end says something like
"what??":rofl

Post by: Murdr on June 28, 2004, 06:41:18 PM: A Ford Mustang screams past you on the highway, and you mutter "Yea, you just keep running you wussy pony"

There was just a car accident infront of you, and you futially try to pull the steering wheel out of the columb, trying to make a brake turn.

You find yourself arching your neck from side to side to see around things while using the arrow keys.

You cannot hear a piston plane engine without looking to get a vis, and ID it.

Post by: IK0N on June 28, 2004, 07:41:12 PM: You know you have flight sim addiction when:

Your dogs name is "Bogey"

You explain to your wife that the reason you were able to pass the other car so nicely was the amount of "E'" you had... She considers other options..

Your a 40 year old with Corgi toys in your work brief case...And there not for your son... He trys to take them thinking that they are for him, you end up buying duplicates so he wont take yours...

The next door neighbor wants to know what all the yelling every saturday night is until 2:00am in the morning every week, and who the hell is the roger guy I am yelling at all the time...

The guys you work with have naked chick wallpaper on their desktop and you have a FW-190 wallpaper on yours, they stop talking to you.....

You agree to go out to dinner on Saturday night only if your wife agrees to make sure you get back in time for Squad night at 9:00.. She considers more options..

Your convinced the 78yr old German Neighbor was in the German Luftwaffe during WW2 and you scheme of ways to make him talk about his fighter pilot past without letting him know that I know that he is a german fighter ace....

You wife invites the knuckleheads from her work over and the guy sees the Die cast collection and starts blurping out data on ME109's and you ruin dinner by telling him he is full of crap about the True Airspeed of the 109, you show him documented evidence he is wrong. I didn't mean to yell at him.... The wife has other options now.

Your Family has a reunion planned, the first one in 10 years, you decline because it interfers with the AHcon the same week...The wife contacts her Lawyer..

Will let you know how the Lawyer thing works out!!!

Ohh yeah...

The President of the company is curious as to the meaning of the on my report this week...

I said it meant signed... He said ok cool...

~~IKON~~

Post by: Paul33 on June 28, 2004, 07:49:25 PM: When your told to do something, you reply with rgr

Whenever you type something you accidentally press the /? button

Your roaming through websites and start to press the numberpad keys thinking the screen will look like it's turning....

You start pressing the view keys while on the desktop...

You get grounded for playing over 200 hours a month.

You get grounded for playing 42 hours nonstop...

Oh, and one more - your posts start taking on the maturity level of a 10--year-old (I'm guilty).

Seriously, I do a thing driving up behindcars and thinking " thats 200 m, that's close enough!"

Seriously, if you stand in your roadway and look at where 500m is you realise how stupid it is to open fire at that range!

Opps. Just proved your theory!:o

Post by: Curval on June 29, 2004, 10:04:00 AM: True story:

Driving along Harbour Road, a very narrow and curvy road here, in the car when I came upon a very sharp left hand turn. Instead of putting on the brake I weaved the car from side to side to "blow some "E"" so that I could make the turn without breaking. Then I realised my wife was in the passenger seat and looking at me as if I was nuts. When she asked why I did that I didn't have the heart to tell her the real reason...I think I said I was testing the steering or something.

You mean there are people who DON'T roll on the throttle when things get dicy in front of them? I thought that's why I have a 180HP bike...

Dear God, this is so brilliant. It so happens to be that the company I work for makes the Sat-Nav for the new Audi A6 and that I am the project manager of the test team :D

This means that I have at my disposal one A6 and two A8's kitted out with Sat-Nav for testing. I drive them all regularly as I'm a 'hands-on' manager :D

The A8's are 4.2 liter V8's with over 350 horsepower. Just put the gearbox in S for Sport and push the right pedal all the way down and leave all worries behind you.

Ow, and these cars are all unrestricted, this means they are not neutered to stop at 250km/u (155mph),

Ask me how I know :D

Still looking for the MW-50 button though :D

Ow and (edited), I live less than half an hour from the German border. Once you pass it you can shout 'Geronimo' and play with the big boys :D again. Most of you might know, but there is NO SPEED LIMIT on (most) German Autobahns.
Title: I might.
Post by: Turbo11 on June 29, 2004, 11:22:46 AM: I might play Aces High too much because I say "Roger" and "Copy" too, and when I'm playing Battlefield 1942, I'll keep pressing "SHIFT /" to talk to my teamates and press "ALT /" to talk to my squad teamates there too.

Post by: RTSigma on June 30, 2004, 12:57:06 AM: You do a pre-start checkup before getting in your car and starting it.

You ask for clearance from your wife who you forced to go upstairs window with a nextel and a pair of nocs as you pull out of the drive way, taxi, then rev the car with brakes on and take off down the street.
