Random Rants VI: See, this is why we can't have nice things!

[Whomp]

Coffee grinder is much worse.

A day without coffee is sucky.

A day/week/whatever without TV is no big deal, and now you have an excuse to buy a nice shiny 70" screen.

Heh...well I got a 40" lcd today so my rant is over. The coffee issue is fixed by walking downstairs to the store and getting ground coffee until I get the grinder...
Guess this should've been a random rave.

Why do NESes slow down in the summer?

Awesome, 40" can be quite nice too, in regular sized rooms.

City livin'. I don't want to take up too much room with anything so this baby's going to be hung from the wall. I got LCD since I have a lot of sunlight in my place.

Made any futher attempts with your rooftop garden this year round?

 

[Whomp]

Nope. I needed a gardnerer named Louis and it never transpired.
Too much time on the lake this summer, instead.

 

[Bigfoot3814]

I've got mosquito bites and they're driving me CRAZY!!!

I thought they did the opposite?

I'd come back if there was a good story-NES...i'm so busy all the time I can't do anything with in-depth stats/strategery

I have to spend all day sunday in driver school in order to get my learners permit. Eight hours of learning green means go and red means stop :suicide: And I found a snake in my yard and I don't know if it's poisonous or not.

Why in hell do modern car jacks suck?! Seriously, they are pathetic little POSs and whoever designed them should be strung up by their privates.

What was wrong with the good ol' jacks like those that came with my first car, a 1975 Pontiac Gran Prix? Big sucker you just slapped under the bumper and cranked up with ease?

Which would you rather frakkin' use? ... ... Ugh. I cannot even find a picture of the old one. Y'all know what I mean? It had a flat plate you put on the ground, a tall bar was slid into the plate which had notches that the jack mechanism would raise and lower on as you jacked it up or let it down.

Where do you live, CC? All I had to do to get my permit was take the DMV test. The driving school stuff comes for your actual liscense.

This is what you need: A good, old fashioned (new) floor jack.

Southwest US. I actually don't know if it's required but my mom is making me take it anyway

Well then I guess you're stuck. Anyway, the learner permit test is completley easy.

1. What is the purpose of the seatbelt?

a) To protect the driver.
b) To protect the passenger
c) To hold groceries
d) To irritate your neck and shoulders

 

[choxorn]

A and B.

I had one question on my test that was:

When you come to a stop sign you should:
A)Come to a complete stop
B)Slow down and see if any traffic is coming;if none is then continue without stopping
C)Do nothing
D)Only stop if you plan on turning

So yeah that class is going to be a huge waste of time if your test is anywhere near as easy as mine was

the hardest question on my G1 was: Sex:. it took effort not to write yes, or, no thanks, i'm dead. or maybe 'are you a canadian citizen?'

but seriously the actual hardest question was:

What do you do if a policeman waves you through a red light?
A) Prevent a car accident by running over the policeman so he cant wave others through red lights
B) Honk to attract the policeman's attention, and point out that the light is red in case he didn't know
C) Wait for the light to turn green
D) Go.

I can't wait to see what funny/stupid questions will be on mine. But, I guess I'll have to wait a few... months...

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Someone dropped the ball today, so I got to work open to close. >.<

My hardest question was what the fine was for parking in a handicap space..I think I got that one wrong. The switch between ridiculously easy and odd bits of knowledge you have a 50/50 chance of knowing.
