    Well, you do fart dust, you geezer.

    When video games are a diversion from life, it's ok. When they are a replacement for life, it's a problem. I know guys who do little else but online gaming. That is their social life and, since it's easier than going outside, that probably won't change. One doesn't have to get off the couch anymore. I like video games as escapism just like I enjoy movies, books, and being drunk :) But I still have a life.

    I don't want to go camping, though. I've spent enough time in a tent to last me a lifetime.

    Oh, I should explain, that by camping I mean drinking beers fishing, and sleeping in this.



    and cooking here....



    I mean, they call it camping.....

    Talledega is a little too redneck for me. We can hit Charlotte or Atlanta, Darlington is nice too. Talledega is the place where they used to light sticks of dynamite as entertainment after drinking for 10 hours. Of course that really helps thin out the gene pool....

    I like your style of camping. I could handle that.

    That's such a pussified way of camping. I've done both and there is nothing quite like pitching the tent on a tree root and have it dig into your back all night and peeing in the woods with deer all around you.
