Why didn’t anyone tell me…

<daveb> or maybe I’ll just leave things alone and play video games instead
<nate>
<nate> always a good solution
<daveb> sat down last night to play some Gran Turismo and fell asleep BEFORE THE GAME STARTED.,
<nate> the load screen always takes a long time
<daveb> Dave Barry has a fun article something about The Snake, referring to how growing old is like falling into the clutches of a great snake that swallows you. “One day you have children of your own and one day you catch them setting fire to something, and you shout “Someone Could Get Hurt!” – and mean it – from inside the snake. And then it’s too late. The Snake has you.
<daveb> That’s how I feel about what happened last night. I sat down to be young and frivolous, only to wake up in the belly of the snake.
