[QUOTE="Desdichado, post: 1737064, member: 2205"] Well, yeah, that particular Cat Piss Boy ironically did everthing Cat Pissy except smell like cats. I don't particularly remember him smelling at all, to be honest with you. And I don't think his hygiene was particularly bad. But all the other hallmarks of the CPM Syndrome he had nailed down perfectly. He was a pretty disturbed individual. But that's the thing; few people fits the stereotype perfectly on every front, but the Syndrome still exists. I had another guy; used to be a friend of mine as a kid, who later in life fit the stereotype perfectly except he was rail thin. He didn't live in his parents basement only because nobody has basements in Texas; I think he still lives in the same bedroom he did as a child, though. Ironically, he was the one who "introduced" me to RPGs. I did play some Basic earlier with another kid who was more my type, but I was much more interested in playing with his Star Wars action figure collection, which was [i]quite[/i] extensive, than I was in listening to him blab on about 10x10 rooms and the like...
