To learn firsthand from formerly sane people who have quickly lost their
minds thanks to fucking video games. If anyone on this newsgroup tells you
any different remember they are all plain fucked in the head but it's not all
their fault. Those fucking video games. I do remember back when the whole
world was sane the pre-1974 era before that fucking pong came out then that
god forsaken piece of shit pac-man came out in 1982. P.T. barnum sure had it
right if he was only still alive today. All you motherfuckers shove your
video games right up your asses and switch to pinball.
