I bought All about life and death vol 1 for 7.50 GBP when I knew they'd advertised it elsewhere at 75 GBP and didn't correct them ... Go really does corrupt the young (ish). Actually still feel a little bothered by it over a year later.

If you ask SE whether you should continue your second malkovitch against MagicWand I'll be happy to forgive you.

I do tsumego like other people do sudoku. (In fact, I enjoy doing problems much more than actually playing the game, and rarely play compared to doing tsumego.)

Half of the time I spend "studying go" I'm thinking about an L19 post.
Patience, grasshopper.

I swear at the computer screen when things go bad during a game.

guilty of the night time in korea, but being in europe, i don't have much a choice (still, being 2d there seems so wrong...)

greetings, 2d or not 2d, that is the question. Quote from the GoBard?

-Playing weak bots for easy wins. -Using SE in games on KGS via offline game view. -Occasionally looking at a joseki dictionary while playing. -Not always saying thanks at the end of a game (I feel worse about this than anything else.) -Expecting to win games I know I shouldn't and then getting mad when I lose. -Sometimes refusing games if I expect to lose. -Hardly ever playing weaker players. -Cheating on Go with Starcraft: Brood War

when i see an L19 post with too many diagrams or too much discussion of real gameplay, i just skip it
Spilling gasoline feels good.
I might be wrong, but probably not.
