Tire Fuckup

I think there might be something wrong with my logic... Makes me think i'm a little hasty, judgemental and belligerant sometimes.

So the other day I went to the tire shop where I bought my last pair of doughnuts. They have lifetime rotation service, so I decide to get one as seeing my front tires were worn out a bit. The guy wouldn't let me rotate em because he claimed they were too thin. I guess he meant "thin" enough that his company policy won't let him rotate the tires, by the book. I know I could still use the tires for 6mo to a year (my uncles who is a mechanic tells me). So I took it personally, felt the guy was trying to sell me tires, and swore never to buy tires from that establishment. Went home and wasted my time writing a complaint letter...

All the while, it didn't occur to me, till now, that maybe the guy coulndt rotate my tires because it was too thin based on his companies policy. Its just sometimes these polices are too wasteful. Why not rotate tires that still has some life in em? I guess it's a combination of corporate greed as well. So why am I specfically mad at this place? don't quite know.

i'm don't wasting my time on this shit.

I think the preferred nomenclature is "Bloody Buggerers" or if you are feeling nutty, perhaps 'Limey'. Brit is so derogatory. Yo momma. Yeah tell us what you don’t like mike, that way we can refer to you by that most hated name more often.

My back = Teh wrost. Fuggin' chair has slayed it.

Is Elrock back? He was supposed to be back on the 17th right?

Sweet, I'd totally fit in with the oriental studies faculty

You brits, need a good strong dose of real Asian Gangster culture.

Amended:
I don't know. do you get offended by the word 'Brits"? If you do, let me know, and I'll use some other derogatory slander. =)

J.R.R. Tolkien Professorship is now Open


Guys, I think we should apply for this... surely with all of our gaming and Tolkien knowledge we could get it. Hell, I'll even read the Silmarillion if it will help!

Spoilers

I think I noticed this before gen con so cal. But on the TD websiter contains a spoiler forum that gives all the answers to the room. Perhaps the answers weren't overtly given, but little hints and clues, including some that we missed, were shared. True, it's not in the spirit of the game, and for that reason alone was enough for me not to gravitate towards it.

2nd Level Ranger! Hooah!

J
2nd Level!!!!


Well, some of us True Dungeoneers reached 2nd level -- booyaaa! Now I can take 2d6 points of damage!!!!
Sorry Jon and Dennis didn't make it, but it may be possible to gain an XP boost by services rendered (so I hear anyway).

Cool beans. Other than that, my life sucks. Cambridge = Teh Burnt and I'm tired of trying to fit in 30 hours of work into a 24 hour day... never mind sleep. And I miss you all!

Traffic School = Teh suck

I'm attending traffic school over the internet. So far, I am not impressed. All the hoopla about the streaming video, at home study materials, and time saving methods, is dissapointing. The course is long, boring, and useless... oh wait... Doesn't that sound like the NORMAL Traffic schools? Oh boy. How fun.

Anyhow, back to this drudgery.

Hey Ryan,

I will need advice in this respect. Please contact me!
Hey Jon... I was thinking about the horrible smell that was coming from the garage. Perhaps it would be good if the cat boxes were cleaned out. Upon discussing it with Heather, she concoured. Otherwise it is just rude (for you and for the cats).

Maybe I'll come over this week so we can give the kitties some cool new hairstyles. I think Cleo would look awesome with a mohawk. Stampy already got himself started.
weekends are good.

Everyone have a good one? Mine was pretty nice. Saturday--breakfast at the Original Pancake House. Always a good time despite the fact that it makes me extremely logy for about five hours. Played some Zelda, saw Enron, had a couple, and tried playing Halo by controlling it with the Dance Dance Revolution mat. It turned out to not be easy.

Yesterday the 10d6 folks came by and we made characters for 50 Fathoms, then had a test bar brawl in which they all got slaughtered.

Enron, so you're not going to be around too many more weekends, right? Otherwise it'd be cool if you joined in. Rude--interested in playing a piratey game? Limited run, probably 2-4 sessions. (Note: takes place in a fantasy world.)

I'm going to spend the rest of the week shaving down Eric's PS2 games so that they work in my Gamecube.
