RANDOM RAVES : Kick it up a notch! (term is over!)

[Radio Noer]

Cards Against Humanity is a beautiful, beautiful game

 

[bhsup]

So three decades of driving and I had a 1st time experience today that was mortifying, embarrassing, and just stupid as hell, but thank God I didn't blow myself up! The bold is why this is a rave.

Made a quick run to store and was gassing up on the way back. Pulled up to pump, inserted card, and started pumping. While that was pumping, I grabbed my trusty 64oz NASCAR mug and went inside for a serving of sugary goodness and some beef jerky. Line was very long. By the time I'd paid and was walking out to my car, I somehow managed to forget that I'd been pumping gas. Hopped in, tossed Suki her share of the beef jerky, started the car, and FRIGGIN' DROVE OFF WITH THE GAS HOSE STILL IN MY CAR! I heard the clunk and immediately realized what I did and stopped. Thankfully, nothing was damaged and it had already clicked off automatically when it was done filling. I backed up to the pump again, got out, put the nozzle back and it politely printed out my receipt. I then went inside and explained what I'd stupidly done and thought the pump was fine but that they should check. They checked but also assured me not to worry about it as it happened all the time and at least it had already stopped pumping. Apparently that isn't always the case...

So yeah, rave that I didn't just blow myself up today.

that's right, freshman

 

[Ajidica]

that's right, freshman

Still doesn't mean that it isn't a fun game.

Anyhow, went out with friends last night to watch "The End of the World", done by the same guys who did Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead.
Also, tomorrow our 40K Warhammer RPG sessions start back up. I, for one, am looking forward to smash heretics with telekinetic powers as my companions vaporize them stolen Eldar weaponry.
FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE!

I have a witty quote that sums it up:

What applies to individuals applies -- with necessary modifications -- to politics and parties. Not he is wise who makes no mistakes. There are no such men nor can there be. He is wise who makes not very serious mistakes and who knows how to correct them easily and quickly.

So, cheers to VRWC for being with us another day, for which we are greatful, and for becoming a little wiser.

I finished Half-Life 2. That only took about 10 months.

Someone backed into us in the Wal Mart parking lot; the lady was trying to back up to nab a spot she overshot and didn't check behind her. Thankfully, she stopped and offered up her insurance card (as opposed to driving off as has happened to me before) but there was no appreciable damage so we shook hands and went our separate ways.

I found a George VI Canadian penny from 1951 in my wallet.

 

[Borachio]

Ooh! How did it get there? I've never found one in mine.

(Still, I don't keep coins in my wallet, anyway.)

 

[shadowplay]

Well, they discontinued the use of pennies here recently, so I was removing them from my wallet, when I noticed one of them had a man's head on it instead of Elizabeth II... at first I figured it was an American penny, since their coins commonly get mixed up with ours up here. I looked a little closer, and realized it was Canadian, with the inscription "George VI".

 

[Kozmos]

I passed an excruciating exam that has tortured me for 2 years, mostly due to my laziness and personal disgust for Web-development.

 

[Verarde]

Got off of work 3 hours early, which means I can spend the next 6 hours studying for my first ever college exam. Yay.

I feel like such a freshman. Maybe that's because I am.

Funny enough, I got a Canadian quarter in a roll I got for use in the laundry mat. Somehow, the quarter passed through the bank's machines but won't go through the washer and drier coin-op.

 

[choxorn]

Verarde, is this an accurate representation?

 

[Verarde]

Accurate: I'm wearing a hoodie, I'm listening to music with earbuds, and I have short hair, not to mention that that's exactly what I'm doing.

Inaccurate: I wear glasses, I don't have that phone, and I have messenger bag, not a backpack. Also I have dark brown hair, not blonde.

But still pretty close.

 

[madviking]

why do you need to study for 6 hours?

/jaded upperclassman

 

[ReindeerThistle]

The only study session I ever spent 6 hours on was Human Female Anatomy by braille!

Let in sink in...

 

[Takhisis]

It's very unCommunist of you not to have shared that with us.
