How to Know when you have been Nesing for too long..

[Lord_Iggy]

Yeah, well it refers to Canadians too.

Everyone immigrated at some point, the natives came over Beringia at one point. Anyone who thinks that access to a country should be closed just after they're in is a total hypocrite.

But back on topic: For someone who's been NESing for TOO long (if possible)

185. You can recycle stories from old NESes and few to zero people notice.

Our ancestors came across the Bering straight, but the argument is being made by those who were born here, regardless of their ancestry, against those born outside the U.S.

186. You sneak updates at work (ehem, roddyvr )

Let's not make this a debate thread on immigration, there are already several racial bias, hate, nativist, etc. filled threads for that in OT. This thread should really be kept on topic, I believe all of us would hate for the now more active than ever Mods to close this.

 

[Silver Steak]

Don't even mention that!!! Are you out of your mind? That is enough to get a warning at least. I suggest you edit it away at once, or else...! Iggy, I could use your paranoia to convince Isr, here.

Everyone head back to Kenya!

187. You wonder why it took all the way till 1400s for the americas to get discovered - surely its possible in the BCs?

 

[das]

Indeed, except for the bolded portion - silver wouldn't have any different principle to start with!

The country whose leaders ordered that could be considered "NPC" before the "silver look-alike" came, so all is fine.

188. The main thing you have against the modern world is that its way too unbalanced, USA has too large an economy and is stuffed with economic centers, damnit.

189. The second thing you dislike about the modern world is that things are developing way too slow. Why can't the people start nuking each other non-stop?!

190. You bought a military encyclopedia just to know what sort of weapon types you could order the development of.

191. You keep coming back to the idea that if you once write a book, it really should be about NESing and NESers. Actually, that could be interesting...

 

[stalin006]

192 - you actually think of organizing a NES Convention somewhere and having face to face gaming & other stuff.

That'd make secret deal making rather difficult ...but interesting idea.

 

[Luckymoose]

Face to face,slide notes across the table to the person you wanna talk to. Fixed the secret problem.

 

[das]

193. You think 192 is a good an idea.

194. Thus, you immediately begin looking for bodyguards and weapons...

*cough, Vikings.

Although they were still AD.

Yeah, a NESing convention would be awesome.

Say, totally random idea...

195. You make a map with NESer locations and concentrations posted. It is determined that California and Finland are the central NESer locations. Although the Yukon is very nice too, big lakes, soaring mountains, pristine rivers and glaciers, vast forests...

Damn, too bad we're so international!

*random* Odd, April snowstorm just started outside. This is not going to make crutching around easy.

To balance out the spam to OT ratio:

196. You seriously consider bringing penguin puppets, because real penguins are hard to come by, and the almighty pan-dimensional overlord penguins are busy.

 

[das]

197. You actually wrote a polar bear story, and keep mentioning polar bears, penguins and so forth in your posts.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

198. You actually write a penguin story. You honestly wonder why Polar Bears hate Penguins so much.

Where's alex? He needs to do 199.

 

[das]

You honestly wonder why Polar Bears hate Penguins so much.

This actually means that you haven't been NESing for long enough.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Yep, I figured it was something like that. I HAVE to complete my reading of ITNES.

199. You've used the phrase 'You haven't been NESing for long enough.'

 

[das]

200. You keep reminscing about past NESes, both on the forum and in RL.

 

[North King]

201. You are able to count off all the major NESes that you've been in, but you need to fingers to keep track of how many there are, since you've been in too many...

202. You constantly reiterate this list to everyone you come into contact with for more than ten minutes.

 

[alex994]

203. You write stories about how the Alexandrine Pandas are better then everyone else and use them to explain unexplainable things.

 

[North King]

204. You write stories about Sea Otters attacking Pandas, Penguins, and Polar Bears simply because you are so irritated at the people who use them as excuses.

 

[das]

205. You understand (almost) everything that was posted in this thread.
