Must be something in the air today. ::)

One thing that always puzzled me. Why does everyone take this loyalty to a piece of hardware so seriously? It's almost as bad as politics & religion. Oops, hush my mouth. :o ;D

Lighten up guys. It's only a game after all. ;)

GEICO Car Insurance Commercials drive me mad....especially those, "I've got good news" and the Old Navy rip offs.

Old Navy....grrrr

BTW and FYI.....The word Geiko is another way of saying Geisha. It is predominately used by Geisha of the Kyoto districts.

The word Maiko literally translates to "dancing child" (mai = dance, ko = child), but is also referred to as "dancing girl". A Maiko is an apprentice Geisha who must must undergo a period of training that generally takes 5 years, where she learns the various "gei" (arts) such as dancing, singing, music etc before she becomes a Geisha.

Whist their appearances are very similar, the main difference between Geiko and Geisha is largely their location, and also certain customs and traditions.

The word "Geiko" derives from the Kyoto dialect of the word and is generally used to refer to those from the Kyoto hanamachi.

The word "Geisha", which is the more well known version of the word, is actually the Tokyo dialect for "Geiko". It was primarily used by geisha of Tokyo and surrounding areas, but it is now used as the general term to talk about all geisha. It is also the word most recognized by foreigners than what "Geiko" is.

;D

Mark doesn't seem like the chasing type. I don't think you have to run.

I've gotta agree with Blackhart on the irony of it...

Been here longer than you. Noob.


I think not! I've been here much longer than you and have probably been on this earth much longer than you so HA! You think my simple pentium logo is bad? You should see Swanny338's anti pentium av (I've never seen him catch flack for it)! And if you don't like it that I'm a cynical old grouch you had best let it go because I won't change... BTW I'll change my av for you if it is so offensive.

Too late I changed it already, and to something that will hopefully bring a chuckle to those who had a bug up their butt about my previous av. now:

Guys, simmer down...there's no personal attack here, just someone pointing out the irony.  Geez.

Actually, I don't mind seeing commercials every now and then. Only thing I don't like, is the same commercial showing 30 f*cking times in 5 minutes.

I think so... Thus the reason why I said that I am "probably" older than you blackhart (I'm 38 BTW).
