8/30    Happy birthday psb!!! How old are you?
        \- This is my decoy bday.
           \_ What's your decoy age?
        \_ My analysis of partha based on years and years of observation:
              \- do i know you?
                 i seem to have really gotten under your skin.
           Partha, I think you're very insecure of yourself. You constantly
           ask people whether it's socially acceptable to <stick in whatever
           trivial thing here>. A normal, grown up confident man doesn't need
           the approval of his peers. Secondly, you're not in your GAP
           Banana Republic age (20s); you're in your 30s, single, yet still
           care excessively about looks, fashion and trying to impress the ppl
           you hang out with. There's no need for that. How about trying
           to be Partha instead of being a comformist? Thirdly, it seems that
           you have a need to be with companions. You're not a teenager
           or in your early 20s, you don't needs friends to go to nice/hip
              \- i dont like "hip" restaurants.
                 i do like nice restaurants.
              \- i dont like "hip" restaurants. i do like nice restaurants.
                 i guess my tastes have gotten snootier
                 in that i dont eat a lot of 99cent burgers
                 but have moved on to $5.50 burritos and quesedillas.
                 i guess my tastes have gotten snootier in that
                 i dont eat a lot of 99cent burgers anymore but
                 have moved on to $5.50 burritos and quesedillas.
           restaurants. At your age, you should act your age, and feel less
           conscious about being by yourself. Partha, you're cool, and you
           should just feel confident about yourself and occasionally try to
           do things by yourself without the approval of your peers. Doing
           so will give you CHARACTER instead of a bland comformist that you
           are now. You don't need approval, and you don't need to fit in.
           Happy 30 something birthday Partha.     -your anonymous friend

                \_ Wow one of the biggest loads of BS I've ever read in the
                   motd and that's saying something.
           \_ Yes, this analysis does seem off.  Not that I've spent enough
              time with psb to form real judgements. --PeterM
           \_ Haha!  Do me next! -- ilyas
              \_ I didn't know you're a homosexual. I think Big Bad
                 Vodka Drinking Misha would like to do you.
           \_ Are you "the" motd stalker? Or are there more like you?
