It helps if you can beat the SME's at their favorite video games.
They had heard that I used to be a programmer back when they were
still playing with Barbie and GI Joe, so when I kept schooling them
on Soul Calibre, they accused me of having written backdoor code

over and over as new game platforms became available. I did not
disabuse them of that notion. heh.
