All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

If it's that slow, bust out some wardriving software, do a driveby, and triangulate the source of the signal. Should be faster when you're right up close.

Well, she hasn't done it in years, but I remember her doing it several times during my school years. I can't remember exactly what she said when she did it, but it was something like that.

I do it because I think it's hilarious.  

I had a friend in high school who picked it up from me, but she couldn't get the timing right, so she'd say it at times when we were making fun of her, and it just didn't work.  So we'd make fun of her some more.
