Angela, the following story is completely true*
Only the names and places have been changed to protect the innocent**

I was scuba-diving with a group of Norwegian proctologists along the southern border of the Bermuda triangle last week when suddenly, without warning, a man-eating shark came hurtling towards me. I only had a micro second to react! Foregoing my razor-sharp hardened-steel diving knife, I instead reached for my trusty Gigabyte X58 motherboard stored most fortuitously down the front of my wetsuit and jammed it into the monster's maw. The build quality of the board was too much for the frantic fish, and it soon succumbed to a series of rabbit punches to its dorsal fin. If not for Gigabyte, me and my Norwegian friends would be fish food!

*not counting every word after "true"
**is anyone really innocent? Discuss

The question we all want to know is, did the board work after it's ordeal :-)

What kind of a weirdo would shove a new x58 motherboard down the front of his wetsuit. LOL!

The kind of weirdo that knows when you're going up against 2 tons of scaly horror, only the indestructible might of a Gigabyte-forged X58 will do the job....that's who!

I find your lack of faith disturbing...
Sorry...geeked out for a second there.
OF COURSE the board survived...if I'd used a lesser-brand(*Asus**ahem) me and my Norwegian compatriots would be somewhere in the beast's lower colon by now...

LoL Dan

...But, no matter how chaotic the moment may be, I find I never have any trouble staying cool, calm and collected, so long as I have a Gigabyte motherboard handy. I'm sure it's the same in Ging9's case as well...

What impresses me the most is the fact that during the chaos of the moment, you were still able snap a picture of the disabled Carcharodon carcharias. Nice work!!

Ya, this is pretty hilarious. Good job!

Very nice use of vocab by the way. It's refreshing to see someone who actually has a decent repertoire of words and the competence to use them correctly! Again, good show!
