DooMBoy Posted June 17, 2002 Actually, my parents see me on here all the time, however, they haven't any clue that I'm actually registered here. They aren't stupid, or anything like that. My dad's a reasonable intelligent guy, more than he lets on, and my mom could probably reformat this comp and have it up and running everything in a couple days max time. They just don't have any idea what I'm doing on here. Except, that is, as my Mom would say, "just to download that stupid Doom junk and clutter up the harddrive." Which I find hilarious as I have 18 gigs of space left on this puppy. :) 0 Share this post Link to post

IMJack Posted June 17, 2002 Heh, my dad starts talking about upgrading our system and getting a new hard drive every time Netscape starts to slow down on him. He's a smart guy when it comes to mechanics and law, but the inner workings of a computer are beyond him. My mom is morbidly afraid of this computer. Not what's on it or what it can do, per se; she's just afraid of destroying the thing. 0 Share this post Link to post

Make a program, then start it before she gets on, which makes it pop-up an error in 5 minutes that says "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!? YOU RUINED ME! NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY $500+ TO GET ME FIXED!!!" 0 Share this post Link to post
mmnpsrsoskl Posted June 17, 2002 My dad came in the other day and asked who I was talking to, I replied "I am posting a message on a message board to a bunch of people"....."oh" 0 Share this post Link to post
LorD BaZTArD Posted June 17, 2002 My parents really don't understand the computer, stupid thing is, my dad used to teach this kinda shit, electronics and computers, now he freaks when he doesn't understand why MSN chat doesn't load :|, the other parent is kinda out of it too, every time she see's me playing any game, as long as it has even one punching animation, even if it's a game like, damn she said it about mario once. She say's shit like: are you sure you won't go insane and kill us all? I just laugh. I could try teaching them to understand that it's just a game and those fruitcakes that shot schools up or whatever were not driven mad by the game, but they where freaking missing several bolts from their brain to start with. It's no use, so I don't bother, heh, my own computer helps with that anyway. 0 Share this post Link to post

Da_Esco² Posted June 17, 2002 Mah parents don't know what I do, don't ask, and don't give a fuck..... and that's da way I like it. I'm usually out workin, partyin, or just chillin. But, when I'm actually home, 95% of the time I'm locked in my cave (a.k.a. my room). I could be creating da next frankenstein in my mofuckin room, or fuckin mah girl, and they would have absolutely NO fuckin idea! ¦]-~ http://www.doomworld.com/linguica/5000.jpg and yes, why? Heh..... ya rich little preppy ho! GIMME YO MONEY BOY!!! :P Make a program, then start it before she gets on, which makes it pop-up an error in 5 minutes that says "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO!? YOU RUINED ME! NOW YOU HAVE TO PAY $500+ TO GET ME FIXED!!!" ROFLMFGAO! I gots to remember that one! :P If they give you too hard a time about playing on the computer say, "Ok, I will go out, is that better? Now then, what's the most I should expect to pay for beer and cocaine?" Heh! Another classic, Fod! :) Don't bash your parents for careing. BWAH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAA!! ROFLMFGAO!! 0 Share this post Link to post

And if the cops don't have a search warrant for your comp, tell them you don't want them to search it but don't do anything to stop them. 0 Share this post Link to post

Heh.... shit like dat is common knowledge for most peeps, where I grew up at.... also be sure to scream "FUCK THE PO-LICE" as often as possible and call them dirty fuckin pigs as much as possible.... but only when they ain't around. :P 0 Share this post Link to post

Read this for starts.maonth said:Why do people think the police is an enemy?Well, in most cases the whole "fuck the police" thing is a brainless trend, like a sign to show you're in with the in-crowd. However, yes, "bad cops" run rampant, and anybody who is a plan-for-the-worse / hope-for-the-best type of person has to assume, for their own safety and well-being, that every officer they come across will be the bad one. Most of the time that isn't the case, however it's an unfortunately necessary precaution. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted June 19, 2002 We've got the oposite problem. Not "bad cops" but "apathetic cops" who can't be bothered doing their jobs. 0 Share this post Link to post
