I suppose the real question is who, other than me, is using IRC right now? Something tells me the number of affirmative responses will be somewhat low. :p

Not on IRC right now, but I have been in the past 24 hours. :p:-:

Is Sonic really that much of a draw in NJ? We have five in my town but there's never a line at any ...

You have to understand that we have had ads here for years and no outlet. As a result there's a lot pent up "I WANT!!!!" :-:

I have NFL network and don't watch it outside of their 6 games a year. :-:

Not only did I never use IRC, I never had an ICQ account.

If they really wanted obscure ones they could have had PGP, SOAP, ICMP, or even GOPHER (which really isn't an acronym...).

GOPHER would be a trick question (and something I hadn't thought of since the days of LYNX, PINE, and NCSA Mosaic).

According to Opie & Anthony, it is nearly nothing but scantily clad underage girls getting busted for drinking and trying to talk their way out of same. I plan on giving it a shot.

Excellent idea, especially the last part. Wrecking her career is certainly something I would feel entitled to were I in your shoes.

I had ICQ in the late 90's and thought it was awful that the chat window was live-viewable on both sides. It forced me to think quite hard while angrily chatting with the girlfriend at the time...I was on the downslope of my first real relationship out of high school.

Just the opposite for me. If there is nothing that I care to tune to and I don't need the Weather Channel for one reason or another, the NFL Network is the default which is left on in the background. Just looking up and seeing that huge HD picture of a game replay is a wondrous thing.
