When I left to go to lunch at 12:15, two of my cow-orkers were heatedly discussing college football. When I returned at 1:30, they were STILL talking football. And one of these guys is from another department and nowhere near his desk, so it's not like he can claim he's working and talking at the same time

welcome to the hell of geeks.
(and not the nice kind that bite the heads off of chickens)

the irony is, they aren't even geeks in the proper sense of the word, or at least in the context I'm accustomed to; they aren't computer people who like to game, they're just run of the mill dudes with an obsessive habit. They couldn't put together a LAN party if their lives depended on it.

We have a couple of people like that here. Still, here, the typical topics of conversation are motorcycles, poker, and fantasy football -- and since I care about none of the above, I'm kinda screwed. :(

I simply don't understand the fascination with MMORPGs. I've tried a couple, and they bore me to tears, yet lots of people I know are completely addicted to 'em. Strange.
