You know you spend too much time on MacRumors when...

[Mitthrawnuruodo]

...when you made your own Firefox search engine to search the MR forums (attachment 1)... 😉

...when you have two separate MR bookmarks folders, one of which is in your Bookmarks bar (attachment 2)... 😀

...you know someone's already posted a thread on the same subject. Three-and-a-half years ago. 😛 😉

Edit: Great minds think alikeish, Mitthrawnuruodo! 😉

Oh, yes!

I actually found and discarded that older thread, too, since it was before my time and my (narrow) mind was set on hunting for BV's thread from earlier this year... 😱 😉

When you look in your history in your browser, and every page has this icon next to it.

Hmm... I think it might be time to clear out ~/Library/Safari/Icons/

I get another favicon:

.....when you need to go to the toilet, but refuse to do so because you're reading an interesting thread, or in the middle of typing out a reply in a thread about MR addiction, and so you hold it in until it hurts, and little bits of the yellow stuff starts trickling out and you tighten your muscles even tighter and dash over to the bathroom to finally..............."release," change your boxers, take a courtesy shower, and.......

...........ahhhh, much better.

Umm...I am glad that I am not that addicted. 😉 🙂

Abjectly failed all necessary entrance requirements for joining the PPP.

...come to think of it, you know you spend too much time on MR when you know what the PPP is.

aaaahhhh....but do you remember the DGVPG? 😱 😛

 

[Blue Velvet]

aaaahhhh....but do you remember the DGVPG? 😱 😛

Not directly. But a few questions in the right places and a couple of searches and some reading in the right forums soon answered that question... 😉

god that was a clicky time.

 

[Lacero]

Someone fill me in.

I did a search for DGVPG but all I got was edesignuk's thread asking what DGVPG was. So sort of a vicious MR circle, wouldn't you say?

I'm too fresh here. 🙁

Somehow, I think the answer lies in the nature of the non-responses in that thread. Don't worry your pretty little head about it. 😛

Substitution for #7: You start appreciating the humor and even - dammit - looking forward to Lacero's posts... 😀

I'm back, 24 hours without my iMac and MR all due to a mishap with one of them powerball things, and a cup of tea rendering my apple keyboard useless.
To make matters worse, I'd just set up an account for my mum to check her ebay, so it didnt auto login anymore, and of course no keyboard to type my password, i was well b*****d.

The one other time my keyboard failed due to the batteries, i used the on screen keyboard.

So, what have I missed?😀

I think edesignuk recently found an ointment to cure that fungus problem he has.

But some other members had already ran away from the forums to avoid catching it.

What that mean by that, edesignuk? ;)

You know you spend too much time on MacRumors when...you know every long-time members' original names.

Hmm... I think it might be time to clear out ~/Library/Safari/Icons/

I get another favicon:

Hmm, thought I had that folder locked so it would quit slowing down Safari (I read somewhere a while back that those slowed down Safari).
Musta gotten unlocked when I installed Tiger.
