I don't know why, but this story reminded me of Seinfeld...

Well, we don't have sattelite, but we still get TRTInt (well I guess "Int" stands for "International")

I know something better. Listen trep: Tie him to a chair with the coax cable, and then put up a stereo. Make sure you can operate the stereo from outside the room - the reason is the music that you will play to him. Put a CD/Tape/LP of David Hasselhoffs music on the stereo, and leave the room. Shut the door, and turn on the stereo - on repeat.

When your brother in law is close to madness, put off the stereo, and turn off the light in that room. Wait until he has been eaten by the Ur-Grue (or any Grue) before turning it back on. (You didn't think I would be that cruel as to let him die by listening to that horrible music, did you?)



God, sometimes I love thinking up ways of torture. It is so relaxing.

But I like to think up ways of torture for random people (but especially evil adventuregame companies that cancel games like "Forge" and "The Fold"), even if I don't feel particularly evil...

AOL? Yeah, you must be desperate.

Edit: BoyToy wants me to leave a hug for you, too. He's here with me. He's missing you and wormsie, and he already wondered why you weren't online as much as usual. Well, now he knows. n_n

No, my moron-in-law is desperate. He needs internet to pay the bills to ISP companies that give horrible service all because he refused to listen to me and set it up himself .

Thank you, dear. I've been doing a few other things. I'm not necessarily 'addicted' to the internet, just that, living far, far away from the city and in a place where 'culture' (MY definition of it) is practically a another continent away, the only source for me IS the internet. <shrugs>

I miss your BoyStud too.
