You are seriously trying to justify replying to this thread when you could be entering comps...
The postman walking towards your front door gives you an adrenaline rush!!
It is 2 o'clock in the morning, you can only see out of one half closed eye, you have cramp in your mouse hand and you are trying deperately to get the captcha right and getting more frustrated with every failure to enter a comp to win a tin of catfood (when you only have dogs (but your mother in law would love it)) and you finally realise it won't go through because it ended yesterday and straight away move on to the next comp...
Your partner wakes you up in the morning from your slumped position in front of a blue screen.
You dream of captchas....
