Somebody help me

Please, I have a severe problem. I am an addict. It is something that no one wants to be addicted to. The addiction started as just harmless fun, but now I can't help myself. I just need my fix, and its not a daily fix, oh no, its pretty much about every 5 hours. And as it goes on it takes more and more time out of my life. At first it would be 5 minutes, but now it can take a good 45 minutes before I feel satisfied.

Thats right people, I'm addicted to tetris. Well Ksirtet in reality. Is there anything that can be done about this debilatating illness. Please tell me there is.
Thank You

There is a cure for this. I'm afraid it means we have to cut your hands off. If you still persist in pressing the buttons with your stumps then further more drastic "treatment" is required.
So worry not, this thing is curable

Your gonna think I'm crazy, but I can play with my toes on the low levels. And besides I could make a special keyboard to use with my stumps, so something more drastic is needed, I would just uninstall it, but its part of the kde games, and I like them a lot. Next suggestion.

Ah, this is quite a bad case.
This means that you will have to end up with no limbs, no nose, and... well something else that might bring a tear to your eye.
But like I said, this thing is curable so worry not.

After much careful consideration, I have decided that the cure is worse than the illness. I think I'll just live with it. Thanks for the suggestion though.

wait!! while i have immess respect for pam's typical solutions concerning computer related things i have a suggection that will not leave you looking like a freak!! i think we should give you a lobotomy and remove the part of your brain that enjoys tetris. hair will grow over the scars in you skull and in case anyone call you a fat head you can smile because you know the truth!

That sounds like a good idea. How much will it cost me?

I promise you my way is best. You are in denial now, but you'll be begging me to fetch my chain saw later - anaesthetic or no.

that's classic!

anywho, about the tetris, i suggest overloading yourself with it, if you play it long enough it will get old, it may take days, weeks, even years, but eventually you will grow weary of this addiction by the name of "tetris"
