I'm an intelligent individual and a great strategist. When I was young, I was a very good chess player. It came naturally to me. By the time I was a senior in high school, I found that I was no longer in the upper tier of chess players. That's because all the nerds and geeks were actually studying the game, and reading books about it. Well, when I gotzto start LEARNING stuff like the Jablowmie Opening, and the Jerkofvia Junction, to improve my skills... you lost me! I was always totally bored by geeks and nerds and wasn't about to become one! In fact, one of the reasons I loved pinball so much was because those geeks and nerds didn't play, because they were too spastic to be any good at it. But they got me back in the end! I'm not about to read a 300 page book that explains all the modes and scoring, to enjoy a good game, any more than I'm likely to take up Dungeons and Dragons, or learn to speak Klingon.

What's weird about starting threads in an EM forum, which explain disdain for modern junk, or love of the classics? And I'll NEVER lay off the weed!

Glad you found the time to put down your book, 'How To Collect the Most Jewels on Ripley's Believe It or Not', to respond to my weird thread!

Gotta give you credit! You can take a joke, as well as you make one! LMFAO!
