created Layne as an experiment in "interactive fiction."

Eh. I'm not surprised. Everyone on the internet seems to a jet-setting, underwear model, captain of industry with a bunch of commando skills.

Reality is something else altogether.

This gives me hope that the New York Times will one day disappear and the real authors will admit to the hoax.

Local followers tried to spot her at Timberwolves games and running around Twin Cities lakes.

I love that part...

It looks like the attempt I made at toning down the content of my FR homepage went for naught.

LOL. A more apt description of many would be someone "setting" their big butt in front of the computer, in their underwear with a bunch of Captain Crunch.

Yeah..."goin' commando" LOL

but sometimes, when I have to carry extra equipment on secret missions, it gets a little, shall we say "uncomfortable"...

That, and the wetsuits chafe in odd places...

At http://www.tshirthell.com, they sell a T-shirt which says, "I'm the teenage girl you ****ed off in the chatroom with", obviously intended to be worn by some old guy, like this perhaps:

Warning, don't click the link if you're easily offended, that's one of their *milder* T-shirts.
