I got the highspeed!

Last October I bought a house. I always figured I'd upgrade to broadband, but I was getting free dial-up from work and I really didn't want to shell out money when I could just wait a couple more minutes and get the same thing. You know, since it was free. Well, recently the dial-up got to be a hassle. A big hassle. Some things were taking up to ten frickin' minutes to load. When I got my last shipment of DVDs to review I had to drive to work to let Nick know I received them (yes, I was putting my reviews on the back end at snail speed. And that Best of The Steady Leak? Done over the phone line!).

That was the last straw for my fiancée. She up and ordered cable internet access. God, I love her.

The installer got dirt all over the Geek Room, but now I don't have to take a break while the main page is loading. Please, feel free to give me your "about time"s.

Oh, and I finally went to the CHUD Boobies thread. What's the big deal? It's all talk. I was expecting, you know, boobs. Although Gist's chest is pleasantly hairless.

I love highspeed access. That is how I've been able to watch The Star Wars Holiday Special and pictures of Princess Stephanie of Monaco "letting her fingers do the walking" all in one day.

We are all truly blessed to live in such an age of technological wonder.

Welcome to the show.

I've had broadband for so long that I take it for granted now. There was a point a few years ago that we had to use the free dial-up account though due to a service interruption....it's painful to go back.

Link me to that shit, baby! I saw the Star Wars special when it aired, but it was so long ago that all I remember is the nonsubtitled Wookies.

You're a lucky man, Rob.
Now, about the Princess Stephanie clip, I can't for the life of me find it.

High Speed is nice. And it's fast!!! ugh... It's impossible to go back to dial up after experiencing high speed access. The long waits become excruciating. We have high speed where I work and that's where I do most of my chewing. At home I used to have dial up at my place but I just cancelled it because my fiance has a cable modem and I'm there more now anyway. Actually, that's basically "home" now, but not because of the high speed. I'm a geek, but not that much of one.

I checked out that Chud Boobies thing not too long ago as well and was also expecting it to be a bit different than it really is. Heh heh...

Welcome to high speed. You can now do tons of stuff to spoil yourself. Enjoy it.

I of course got used to a T3 at my apartment (its shared access but not many people used it, so getting full access to it was nice). It was great, and now I've transfered to a new college, and the dorm speed is that of ugh cable.

Yes you will get spoiled.

Here's the place for the Princess Stephanie pics
Princess Stephanie of Monaco

There are a lot of celebs there, but just use the guide to take you to Princess Stephanie under "P". I lost the SW Holiday Special link awhile ago. Maybe, Seanbaby or some other site still has it up.

Or you can always go to one of the P2P services and download. You've got the speed now...use it.

The CHUD Boobies thread used to be chock full of em, but the board conversion killed most of the pictures.

I prefer boobies to be in slow, rhythmic motion, as opposed to high speed.

Whoa, did I just type that?

No offense was intended. I rarely go to the sex forum, but from what I've seen you do a damn fine job watching over it.
