Very bad things! *keep it clean!*

[Anthony]

Someone find this man a four leaf clover.

[Kain]

I don't need a clover; I need God to quit bitch-smacking me.

Oh yeah, and I forgot this nasty little detail that actually just dawned on me today at work: I went from smoking maybe 5-6 cigarettes a day (I was working on quitting) to smoking a pack a day because my damn hands won't quit shaking and everytime I'm not occupying myself with something constructive, my anger levels sky rocket and I have a hard time containing the destructive tendencies that boil up. Oh, and the stress.

He he, I'm losing my mind and I don't seem to have anyone around to even reap the benefits.

Oh, and my football team's running back got arrested for assault. WAY TO SPEND THE OFFSEASON *******!!!

[Darth Avlectus]

Ceramic statue of Native American chief fell and attacked me. Mangled my primary (left) hand a little bit when I tried to catch it. My fingers are a bit swollen, the statue shattered. I'm pissed off about both.

Missed my jury summons over a month ago and now I have to report in for both make-up and to explain why I missed the first. Will probably get a fine.

Son of a bitch. Like I need to lose any more money.

[Lady Jedi]

See what you need is a doc whose also a friend who also enjoys your baked goods and will also write a letter to tell the court exactly what how terrible and detrimental to your health, and what an awful choice you would be for any jury.

>.>

<.<

Or so I've heard.

[Darth Avlectus]

Ok, a little aleviation: The court case to attend was dismissed, so it was all on me and why I missed the summons. I convinced them to give me another date to serve instead of giving me a fine.

I hope the next one gets settled before it reaches court and dismissed.

He swung straight down with it, the side of his right hand caught an "L" bracket. Laws of physics took its course, his hand stopped but the momentum of the bar kept going. The stopper hit the top of his fist and caused the bone to break.

A pic of his broked hand...

More bull****: The clutch in the car I was driving (my mom's) stopped disengaging fully, prompted a $1000 repair bill (because we knew the mechanic). Also, the day before it was to go into the shop, I'm on my way to work (to make money to pay for said repairs) when I hear the familiar sound of tire flappage. So I get off the e-way, scope the tires, refill them. About 10 feet later, my tire explodes in a burst of pure hatred and bad karma. The tires: $150...apiece.

Hmph...I've run out of rage at my bad luck.

[Darth Avlectus]

If any of you have been around little dogs, you know they get some bad, weird health problems. Picture this: Your homeboy IRL has 2 pugs. One is blind and has a vicious biting problem at the ankles of just about anyone walking in (doesn't hurt and laughable). The other one younger, similar but no blindness--rather the worst case of hemorrhoids or some kind of bizarre ass blister you ever saw. The vet wanted $350 to take care of it and needed an appointment arranged in advance.

The thing on its ass meanwhile gets bigger and bigger waiting to go pop. Well, last night it went kaboom all over his new faux-leather or faux-suede couch. While we were having dinner. I have now associated chili-size and caesar salad with that wonderfully horrendous smell. Doesn't look like that couch is going to come clean so easy...maybe a dry cleaning?

The dog's ok, he got it to the vet today.

It was a real "what the F***" kind of moment yesterday.

What the **** Microsoft. It's getting harder and harder to defend Xbox Live.

[Pho3nix]

Feels good man

[Boba Rhett]

Walking pneumonia.

I also kind of passed out at work last week.

Looks like I am saying goodbye to Xbox Live Gold permanently. My Gold expired in June and now I have zero interest in renewing.

[TiE23]

Ten dollars... if you buy it through the console. Places like Walmart still sell the subscription cards for $40. Sure, they won't always be that way, but for the time being they still will be.

You know what, I get it that I don't get it. But here is why I don't think it's a big deal, so for a moment pretend you get what I get... yeah.

1)

2) Cards are still $40

3) We're talking about a year here. $10 will get you two cheap meals at McDonalds, lunch for two days.

4) I mean, crap. A month of World of Warcraft is $15 alone. $60 over a year instead of $50 is just way too ****ing much now?

[acdcfanbill]

ten extra dollars a year to keep hosting your own non-dedicated servers to play MP on, awesome possum. Glad I'm on PC

[Pho3nix]

Tie you're the biggest Microsoft whore I've "encountered" so far : D

If you're a current GOLD member, you should get an email offer to re-up your account for $39.99 (1yr). They won't charge your account till your renewal comes due.

I guess it's the "reach-around" before the butt-hurt type of apology

I pay so I can play Battlefield, and that's pretty much it. Compared to the joke that is the Wii online and the strange, stilted mess that is the PSN, I don't mind it that much. When the actual due date comes around, paying it is never fun, for sure. I had to deal with it myself back in Spring, around the same time my 360 RRoD'd (lol). It just confuses me how the same people who have been quietly paying the "$50" a year suddenly revolt at the increase.

While I did defend the increase with the inflation data, I already knew that it was pretty damn simple to avoid paying for the full $50 price tag, so that's why I brought up the cheap cards... savy shopping is all it is.

I feel compelled to agree. It's pretty filthy. Now, if I had the cash to spend $8-10 at the nicer local burger joints, I would... and I wish. : (

[BongoBob]

Attention everyone.

Jack In The Box.

That is all.

[jebbers]

Ted's F**king Hot Dogs pwns all burger joints.

Also I had the chance to see Coheed and Cambria for FREE at the New York State Fair, but I took my girlfriend and her friend on one too many rides and they both got nauseous and vertigo. So I had to drive them 3 1/2 hours home without the pleasurable tunes of Coheed and Cambria...

Too bad i'm no longer a "current" Gold member...

[Kain]

We've been taking care of our friend's evil ****ing kitten for 3 weeks. And when I say evil I mean evil. She'll wait under the couch until you turn your back and then pounce, biting the **** out of our Achillie's tendons with those tiny super-sharpened kitten teeth.

[IG-64]

Our oldest dog, Scooby, passed away earlier today at 12 years old. She had a heart-attack, so it was quick.





She made us happy for a long time, and she will always be remembered.

[BongoBob]

Yeah I'd like to know why Capcom is molesting DMC.

[Darth Avlectus]

^^^ I was also hoping they'd leave that alone.

Probably the same reason as all its other franchises. Squeezing water (or blood) from stones. Content or dignity be damned.


In other bad news: Charlie the smoking chimp died recently.
http://www.boingboing.net/2010/10/07...e-smoking.html

Old age.

Not that I necessarily promote cigarettes for chimps, but it's cool to see that humans aren't the only ones who can light up and then hide a pack of smokes. He will be missed.

[Samnmax221]

My long serving congressman was ousted by some Tea Party ****head.

[Jeff]

So the first weekend after RB3 came out, I had a party for the game and tl;dr my disc got scratched inside the Xbox 360. EA will replace the game for $20, but I seem to have thrown out the receipt which you need to get a replacement.

Now tell me if you think this will work: Buy another copy of the game, photocopy the receipt to send to EA with my scratched disc, and then return the new copy. Really don't want to pay another $60 for this game.

Also if anyone wants to photocopy their receipt and send it to me, feel free, but I don't expect people to be comfortable with this.

who wouldn't be comfortable turning the tables on EA for a change!

[BongoBob]

Did you have the 360 standing up vertically and it got knocked over?

[Dath Maximus]

so my wifes car got towed after the lovely snow storm we had the other night, my car just got ticketed, but its gonna be impounded till friday when we get paid again, yaaaay

[Darth Avlectus]

My last rat died. Unusual cause crystalline buildup causing a blockage in his bladder, nothing anyone could do. Vet said this is unusual as it normally only happens to cats. We'll see, but there's a possibility this is unrecorded in the books--far as rats go anyways. That's great and all it may "contribute to science" or somesuch. Still, I miss my furry little pal. Sure is quiet now that he's gone.

Late, but no, it did get moved though and that's why it got scratched. I actually got Best Buy to re-print the receipt for me and EA will be replacing it for free, just have to send my disc in still.

[Lynk Former]

My Wii's disc drive died last week so I had to get Nintendo to repair it which cost me 120 aud... sucks that I had to pay for that kinda **** since they USED to offer lifetime warranties with their products... not any more though, bleah.

You can find details about this and stories of other peoples troubles with console and PC hardware in a discussion over at Twilight Lynk: http://www.twilightlynk.com/2010/11/...ware-failures/

[Kain]

And it pours on...AGAIN!!

As you can recall (by going a page back), my house burned down over the summer; I'll not get into the drama involved with all of that as its been said.

So, my life gets worse. My fiance's brother, really the only one of her siblings who ever gave me a chance or the time of day, was killed in a hunting accident a few weeks ago (this was not posted at the time as I've had more important things to do...all things considered, I'm sure you all understand). Well, work decides that even though I've been with my wife-to-be for 8 years (and I'm only 25), since we're not married I can't take berievement (sp?), thus I am unable to spend that all important time with her and her family to help them cope. My time off? I happen to have the day after it happened off and spent the day getting drunk. And I was right back to work the day after. Thankfully, my GM isn't a dick (the decision to not let me go on berievement wasn't his, it was the owner's) and swapped a bunch of days out with me so I could be at the showing all day and attend the funeral.

Had he not, this next part would have happened sooner and they all knew it.

Well, just as we're all getting over that and things are returning to normal, I get fired from my long-time job this past Tuesday for 'threatening the integrity of the franchise'. Apparently, I said the wrong thing to the wrong person. Not that it matters, as someone had been spreading rumors abound of me cussing out employees and customers, sleeping on the job, and coming in to work drunk constantly. I figure the whole thing was just a convinient excuse for them to do what they've been wanting to do for awhile and ****-can my ill-tempered ass.

Merry Christmas!

[BongoBob]

...What the f***ing f*** :|

I honestly can't think of what to say man. My thoughts are with you and your wife to be

[Kain]

And now my car died. ****!!! I'm just ready for it to be 2011...

[Kain]

****...****...**** **** **** ****!!!! Grandpa died today. I'm developing a tick.

[acdcfanbill]

That's tough man, I'm down one pair of grandparents myself. The worst part is that I didn't make it back for my grandmothers funeral.

[StormHammer]

My youngest son, Morgan, died on Christmas Day last year, aged 10 years.

I'm f*ckin' devastated. ;_;
