I was at a charity dinner the other night, one of those where a couple of hundred people buy tickets and eat a meal while there's a speaker. It was in a big mansion and the layout and acoustics didn't work well, so I could barely hear the speaker at all. It was awful because you couldn't talk to anyone else since the speaker was talking, but you couldn't hear the speaker half the time, either. I was at a table with half a dozen people and I was battling the whole time to keep from pulling out my phone and checking out Chiefsplanet.

That's the CP itch Rainman. This place will pull you in. You're checking in for no good reason, almost uncontrollably. You're fighting the urge to check in and see what clever puns have been dropped in the latest tragedy thread.
It's got you Rainman. There is no way out.
