  15. @webhill Nobody who knows anything about language attributes "newbie" to gamers. It dates to at least 1970 in military usage.
  16. I was serious when I said “It’s a sham. It’s a hoax. It’s fake. It’s not real.” http://tr.im/oujF
  17. Sitting on the runway waiting for someone in charge to pull their head out of their ass. #nwa
