A real person, a lot like you
I'm a little amazed (and somewhat disappointed) that no one has mentioned this related Penny Arcade comic yet:<p><a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/" rel="nofollow">http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2004/03/19/</a><p>(Sure, arguably, dating sites are <i>less</i> anonymous and have <i>less</i> of an audience than the video game in question, but the gist is the same: "I don't need to take responsibility for my tomfoolery, so here goes nothing!")<p>By the way, I feel compelled to mention again--as I do on almost every post from sivers.org--that Derek Sivers is a total badass, and we should all endeavor to have our heads on as straight as he does.  Thanks, Derek!
