    I think you'd all like it over at RPG Codex.

    Because I don't post there.

    I once went 14 or 16 hours (I can't remember). I was in my teens and it was one of my first ski trips. I was busy skiing and getting out of my bibs must have seemed like too much of a chore to bother with urinating. Perhaps I sweated enough moisture for it not to matter.

    As a small child, I'd go days without taking a deuce. I was one of those kids who wouldn't duke anyplace but at my household so during summer camp, I'd stretch that out to a week. I don't chalk this one up as an achievement, but more of an obsessive tendency that I've outgrown.

    Same here. My proud personal record was two shitless weeks during summer camp. My insides hurt and I could hardly take a pee due to the internal pressure, muscle tension and whatnot, but my organism was stuck in no shit mode and met my desire to take a shit with not giving a shit.

    Basically, he got accused of taking some Russian mods, converting them to English, and calling it his work. I believe in the end it was deteremined to be completely off-base, but he went apeshit over it, swore he'd never mod Arcanum again... and promptly showed up here.

    That, actually, is how he wound up being a member of this forum. xD

    Those interested can check here for Drog's explanation of what DF mentioned. There was some delicious Drog vs Russians and Drog vs Terra Arcanum drama, too. Start here for your daily dose of Drog rage.

    Anyhow, Drog remained active on the Codex after the whole situation, albeit mostly as a troll alt spawner it would seem.

    For some reason, I find Drog's misanthropy delightful.

    The remark about playing arcanum because we're too ugly for girls really stung though :(

    Nevermind. Drog on, Sir! Drog on!

    If he's comparing a PC game to dating, he's got his own problems. Oh, wait, isn't Drog Japanese? Ha, there we go.

    I once drove across the widest part of Texas in a single day. That's somewhere in the neighborhood of 900 miles. I was pretty proud of myself. It was a really wretched drive.

    Two weeks? Holy crap. I thought I was weird for once lasting five days wihtout one when I was a teenager, but next to you guys I'm almost normal.

    Remembered another.
    Had to get my blood drawn no less than 3 times for the same test because my bloodsugar was so high it made my blood kinda syrupy and less conducive to movement, so the 12 gauge butterfly needles actually destroyed all of my red blood cells. I was in DKA, but it was at this point I learned to ask for a trained phlebotomist to take my blood. When a tech says "Oops...!" and you realize it's because you're bleeding all over the floor from something he did to one of your veins...well, there you have it. Anyway, the doctors realized a 16 gauge needle would preserve my red blood cells for the required test.

    Seriously, two weeks? You have to be exaggerating. I would hope you compensated by eating less. Going more than three days and eating normally can lead to a perforated bowel, and myriad other intestinal problems, like actually vomiting poop you didn't eat as poop.

    Don't think I'm exaggerating. Didn't eat less than usual, either. Three shitless days are fairly normal for me, too.

    Is anyone else disturbed by the frequency with which Grossenschwamm mentions eating poop?

    Well, it appears I'm on the verge of surviving my first semester actually working. But that's an impressive achievement.

    As for unimpressive achievements, aggravating my current source of karoshi with a serious Skyrim addiction scores pretty high.

    I helped Muro figure out the title of a game he was looking for.

    小姐 is slang for prostitute. Yeah, I went down on a call girl once. Not proud of it, but I couldn't help it.

    I really enjoy giving head to girls. Really like the taste. It drives me crazy.

    You realize that if you're giving head, it's not to a girl. Right?

    Depends on the 'girl'. Apparently there's some confusion about the ideograms.
