how could anyone take pride in being a newbie?
that's like saying "look at me, i've got herpes!"
the rest of us are taking our zantax or whatever, trying to suppress, and we have to deal with your crap...
in related news i have herpes, so every analogy i ever make from this day forward will be herpes related.
in other news i don't have herpes, you need to get people to touch you for that.
