This is true.. when my younger son was about 11 months old.. babies that age have a thing for telephones.. I walk into the living room one morning and hes got the phone in his hand pushing away at the buttons, i take it and hang it up, I did notice that I didnt hear a dial tone...
A couple weeks later I get the phone bill.. there was a call to Madagascar omg!
one minute.. 25 dollars.. he managed to get all of the area codes and country codes and a working phone number that someone actually used and was home to answer..

GFD, that last one is so true. I'm already -this- fucking close to leaping out of my car and beating the living shit out of the person in front of me with their own cell phone, and fucking 'Lips of an Angel' has to be playing on the radio.

Maybe it's a theory and not a law then :D. *thinks* there's definitely something to what Roz is saying, though my theory would be more like 'the more a female toon says the word 'hon' the more likely said toon is played by a dude.'

I suppose there's a direct correlation between how e-flirty a woman is in game and how insecure she is? Wait - I resembled that theory a couple years ago! /snort

Geei used to tell me that I had this way of telling people things they didn't want to hear by adding, 'sweetie' to the end. It's so disarming hehe.

Lol, yeah see there have to be -some- chicks who say 'sweetie' and 'hon', else where did the guys who wanted to play a female learn it from?
Hmmph, this kinda fractures my theory though.

Law of Parental Intimacy -
the moment things are getting REAL good - any child in the house under age ten will invariably walk into the bedroom in need of Mommy... (or at least start bangin on the door if you remembered to lock it!!)
*~*~*~*~*
theories are supposed to be based in fact - i think you've slid into the realm of a hypothesis. now to do the research to puch it back into theory.... *grin*
I can't count how many people have out right asked if it was actually a female playing the toons i play - and all my toons are female. took me awhile to figure out that alot of guys plays females... (well, i was a newbie then!!!)
