How come I can't see your signature?


Simple. There's no signature to begin with.

So that's technically not correct, then.  I can see the signature, there is just nothing there except for the message that says I can't see the signature but is occupying the signature location I allegedly cannot see and is supposed to not exist.

Actually, I just don't have any idea about what I should write there.

I like brown and black cherries though. But blue is still the best.

Well, as already noted, Realforce keyboards are made by Topre, a company in Japan. Just like Concise slide rules. Somehow, Japan is the place to which all geeks turn.

ANY Cherry mechanical switch is better than buckling spring. (ducks and runs)
I trolled Geekhack and all I got was an eponymous SPOS.

that's why I can never subscribe to threads on this forum, 99% of the posts on this forum are randoms pictures, youtube videos or craps that have nothing to do with the topic question...

having said that, yet geekhack still banged by previous account for trolling... talk about double standards.

Ogen Nash once said,

" You are only young once, but you can stay immature indefinitely."


that's acceptable if your American. Not if you have Chinese parents, otherwise shame to family name.

Glad I'm not Chinese.  I have a 1 in 4 chance of being reincarnated as one though.

Would serve me right.  Instead of reading the poetry of Ogden Nash I'd be reading Mao poems.


it's less than 1 in 5 (19.5% of the world population) , we don't have that many people.

Your previous account got banned (warakawa) in my opinion because you were spamming porn all over random threads.  Although I didn't ban you myself so I don't know if that was exactly the reason.  Actually I thought that picture spamming was quite entertaining. :)
