Mate aint that the truth! lol
My Mrs cat(notice how I say it's hers) only knows its name when it's hungry!
Because I have an apartment in the city, I take her(the cat) for walks. Once I let her off the leash, Im forever chasing her through bushes and crawling under cars because she wont come to the call of her name.
But she'll come bolting from the other side of the world once you call her for dinner!! lol

Im in the process of accomplishing this also.
I had enough of being a slave, Im gonna be the man with the whip ;)

We had a dispenser like you get in McDonalds or KFC for dispensing fizzy drinks. We discovered that if you start with 7-Up, then added Fanta Orange, then Coke in roughly equal measures, you get a drink that's drinkable and changes from black to orange to pale orange the more you drink.

Thats pretty cool, I'm gonna have to try that and tell my Mrs I came up with it in a dream lol ;)
Just a little question, I'm not too sure if it has been answered, but what's the history with your handle?
At first I thought it must've been something to do with spiders(dunno why), but I've just googled it, and cannot find its definition.

It's never been asked here. Long story short, I wrote a novel a few years ago with this metaphysical owl, who amongst many other things had a rant about the nature of humanity - "a ranter". I just tweaked the wording to make it sound less like it actually was, thus Arantor.
And for some reason I've kept that ever since, meaning I've kept it since 2001.

For me, I like to alter my username, depending on the theme of the site, or whatever comes to mind. I probably used "tyty1234" since 2006, however when I registered here on SMF, I was known as "tyty1993". I switched it to "tyty1234" since I altered it as well on other SMF sites, and "tyty1234" just sorta caught on more than "tyty1993".
Oh and in case you're wondering, my real name is Tyler (my friends used to call me "tyty" back in the day, so I used that) and when I'm using "1993", it's to reference the year I was born in. When I use "1234", well, it has no meaning, but it came to my mind when I first used that username. (it was back in the days when I used blogger as a "web site" if you know what I mean. ;)
Costa:
tyty, this is not your thread! Go away!

Do you play much interactive fiction? I'm the maintainer for the Parchment interpreter.
Everyone should play Shade by Zarf!
