The last few months, talking on the phone with realtors, other professionals, even my auto body shop...


I keep getting called 'sir'


Not sure if that's a good thing or not...but it's starting to creep me out. Not like I'm a pubescent teenager that went through a voice change...

And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

It's the massive responsibility that comes from being an ACF mod. You just exude it now, people can just... tell.

Maybe you cut back on being such an ahole when you speak to people? Maybe?

If you think my opinion is idiotic, re-read yours.
Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.

That's why I quit being a mod. I got tired of people calling me "sir" all the damn time!!

no that hasn't changed....


Maybe I shouldn't open with "Hi. I'm a VN mod. Kiss my beanbag when you talk to me. Now that we've got that out of the way..."?

Well I am stumped then.


I find it and use it as a sign of respect.

and I'd just gotten back from a conference in SLC...where I'd hung out with these snowboarders from Colorado.


I think they're lingo rubbed off on me...It's been all "Man" and "Totally"...recently.


Hardly 'sir' material...
