When my wife is within my company, I am always the pessimist, she is always the optimist. When she's at work, I'm am the optimist. Both sides, depends what the topic is.

Well, I personally think the glass itself is WAY overmodeled in terms of drinking performance....
and, historically, the glass was used in quite a differnt fashion than we use it here...
and I also suspect that this glass does not hold quite as much as it would in RL...
BUT...I'm pretty certain that my AH glass is
HALF-FULL!

For me, it depends upon what is in the glass.
If it's something I like, then I see that glass as half empty.
If it's something yucky, then it is always more than half full and filling fast.
I'm working on just seeing a glass with something in it and then being able to decide whether I want to pick the glass up and drink from it or simply pour it out.

Sorry, but I'm a realist......
If you are drinking from the glass, it's half empty, if you are filling it up, it's half full......... BUT if it's just sitting there........ it's just half a glass of water. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Well, if I knock Torque over the head and steal his half glass, I'll have a full one. Hrm. I guess I'm only a baseball bat away from fulfillment, guess that makes me an optimist! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Back when I had my 486sx20 and was playing Falcon 3.0 in all its splendor, my glass was full. Unfortunately, it was only an 8 oz glass.
When I moved on to my first on-line flight sim I found that my glass was now half full... still the same 8 oz... only now it was in a 16 oz glass.
Now that I'm playing AH, my glass is only 1/4 full. Fortunately, HTC seems to have their hand on the tap still (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif). I'm just waiting to see where they stop. Oh... btw... I've migrated up to the 32 oz super quencher series of expectations (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

HA Glass of Water ? is that what you call Budweiser over there in the states ..
Here in Austria we have BEER in our glasses and these are full .. well first .. then they are empty .. then full again .. then empty .. and if you leave a 1/2 empty one you're a wuss (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)

Hehhehe Duck... depends on yer geographical perspective; and tastes I guess. (hang shudders)
Here in the States there's only a small distiction. Wieners.. weenies.. pretty much the same thing. Only slight diffrences in packaging. Example.. Bill Gates is a weenie. George Bush is a wiener. See what I mean?

The glass is never empty in RL or VL. Nature abhors a vaccum(sp?). The glass will remain full until their is no more glass.

I try to keep my glass empty. That way if someone wants to speak to me, they can fill it up without spilling a drop.

Half full of what?
If its Gin, then its half full then I dump it it the sink.
If its "Beer" then its half empty and time to refill it. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
