Wanna know your max attention span in minutes? Just double your age...
It's usually true.

If you were measuring, then you weren't paying attention. lol, the attention span is if you are actually listening and digesting the info..

I think Kevin was making a joke
that formula can't work when you start to get old, I'm pretty sure an 80yr old guy can't pay attention for almost 3 hours straight.

Yes Vag I was making a joke.

Okay, I feel I should take a stand here. This is getting a little too out of hand... I mean, who can just post something and in the middle you see a bird and just forget about the post? How is that even possible.. Well.. I said it. Also, you need to make suOMFG A DEAD BIRD! *pokes it*

I wonder if the birdies are having fun with us chasing them or if they're scared?
i'll go catch one and ask it *runs ouside to catch a birdie*

Wow, I really started something with those birdies. Anyone seen that Clone High episode with Tom Green where he's making a big speech and then goes chasing after a plastic bag caught in the wind going "Plastic bag! Plastic bag! Plastic bag! Plastic bag! Plastic bag!"?

Well, after a while you gotta stop chasing the birds cuz night falls and they go home and... bats! *goes running blindly after the bats*

09-14-2003, 12:24 PM
Bats are scary some species of bats can pick a cow clean in a few hours. I'll just stick with my birdies, i have a tree in front of my house where they all me-BIRDIES!! *Jumps in his tree and chases the birdies*
Diamond187
09-14-2003, 02:55 PM
I think you're thinking of Pirhanas, cuz I don't know of a single kind of Bat which could pick a cow clean (except for those ones in that movie Bats) but, other than that... Pirhanas! *goes to chase the Pirhanas*
i_like_penguins
09-14-2003, 08:39 PM
well maybe not a few hours but they swarm the cow and slowly eat it to death because it's too slow to get away, not like those birdies though, man they're fast.
I think i'll go chase my dog *runs off to chase dog*

It's a nasty little Tag in this board, called the Username-Tag. Of course this ISN'T overused by certain members of this board. You can find it on the bar above the message posting screen. Along with B, I, U, Hr, Quote... blah blah

hehehehehe..... you don't know the [ username ] thing, do you iggy?
it's farely simple and very fun. just put in [ username] but without any spaces and it shows the name of whoever is viewing it, you.
i remember when it came out, i thought i did something wrong and everyone hated me from all of the "i hate [username ] threads"
so don't get annoyed by it, it's just something fun to play with...

I have to sadly disagree. It's not really fun. It may have been at some point, but it leads to countless Spam posts which pretty much say nothing more than "I hate [username:7726a9a88d] (too)". It's simply... I dunno, a pointless Tag, really.
