Mini Me, stop humping the "laser". Honest to God! Why don't you and the giant "laser" get a fricken room for God's sakes? Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I think it's way worse when people actually say the words "quote, unquote" while they make the motion. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||
