Sounds like me.

You know, except for the part that "hadn't slept with a woman in 19 
years" makes it sounds like he's doing far, far better than I ever will. 
Fortunately for the world at large, I'm also sane enough to realise that 
killing lots of random innocant people isn't going to achieve anything 
positive. (And I live in a country where it's illegal to own a gun...)

I do sometimes think about trying to kill myself just to get some 
attention. You know, cos maybe if I tried to kill myself, the 
authorities would actually take some notice when I say "I want help". 
Fortunately, most of the time I'm sane enough to realise that this is a 
very, very bad plan.

Generally speaking, the help they give is usually not the kind of help you want.

At least he was not in another RPG club... but notice: tanning adept.
They should get the same devilish press as other... tanning kills, look!

(No, gun practice is irrevelant... it's the tanning shop, I told you,
these tanned people are freaking... natural tanning is ok, but
UV-tanned, there must be something in the light which make crazy...)


PS: it's a shame for the victims, but if you do not get it, no hope for you.

  In my case, make it 35. (Well, at least if "sleeping with a woman" is an
euphemism for "having sex with a woman".)

You realize that you've violated the AP's quoting policy - more than 12 
words (IIRC) and you have to pay to excerpt the story?

The quote that jumped out at me was to the effect that women never gave 
him a "second look."

I remember from my own experiences that the meaning of a "look" when 
exchanged with a woman can be highly subjective.  I know of specific 
instances where I interpreted the "look" a woman gave me as being 
somehow negative or indifferent but discovered later that the opposite 
was true.  My interpretation was entirely my own fantasy.
