Don't leave us hanging...lets hear a story

[/ QUOTE ]

First time for busting into video games, and either playing the game or stealing quarters, for which to play the game. Did anyone ever see that SNL in the 80s about the kid who was addicted to video games? That was me! I just followed what the teen stoners did, and I was the only one who was arrested.

Second time for breaking into a kindergarten classroom, stealing a few misc things (tape, glue, etc). I was hanging with a bad crowd.

When I lived in Southern Cal. a few summers ago I noticed this stuff was pretty popular...How did youget started in it?

[/ QUOTE ]

Went to a UFC (ultimate fighting championship) event in Vegas. Wanted to try it out, so I went online and found a school right by my house. It's super addictive for someone with a competitive personality and very little outlet for it, other than poker. It's seriously kinetic chess.

I start such popular threads, I [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] all of you.

I'm big on first names, so expect me to address many of you by your name instead of screenname from now on.

One thing's for sure, micro limit poker forums draw a lot of INTJs. (which most computer geeks tend to be in my experience [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

One thing I find interesting about this thread is that almost everyone who replied is an "N" personality type. I think Ns are only about 30% of the overall population, IIRC. (I may be way off on that.) Otherwise, we have Es and Is, and Ts and Fs, and Js and Ps.

I forgot. ISTJ. But that was about 10 years ago. I should do it again.
