What made you smile today?

[Buffalobiian]

Heh, no idea. From what I gather, it wasn't "hey, let's race", but more like speeding silently next to you, daring you.

I remember some (non-police) guy did that to us before. Dad raced along with him until we met another car in front doing normal speed. We lined up next to that one and slowed down to match it, barricading the racer guy on the 2-lane street. (there was a concrete wall between us and the opposite lanes).

The guy was pissed and started tailing really really close. We tapped the breaks lightly and scared them shitless :P

I thought this was pretty funny... This is facebook. I know this girl... names changed to generic names. I just thought it was funny that some dude would call a girl out like that on facebook when she's married and everybody can see it.

Girl : im sitting in dr's office thinkn why me?

Some guy:
Bc u have the herps

Some guy:
whad Husband do now

Husband :
Jonathan, That isn't a appropriate thing to say to my wife... I think you owe her an apology.

How old are the husband and wife?

I think some people over a certain age just don't get the social dynamic of facebook or online communication in general. I haven't seen one person's mom/dad/aunt/grandma make a comment that wasn't incredibly awkward.

Anyway, I'm happy because I played my first ever show with a new band I joined. It was also the first time the sound guy did a decent job because the mix in the on-stage monitors was perfect. My own amp's tone was amazing as well. All the lows were low and beefy and the highs cut right through the guitars and drums.

So while talking to my mom today she mentions a curious incident that happened in my home country a few days ago. A guy finds out his wife is cheating on him. Naturally being the genius that he is, he decides to go kill the guy his wife was cheating on him with. I'm curious why they never go after the spouse, girlfriend/boyfriend whatever but that is for another time.

Anyway, he goes to the guy's job and proceeds to kill him and the guy's boss walks in, he unfortunately gets killed too. Now at some point our noble enraged husband decides that he is going to decapitate both his victims and personally deliver their heads to the police and he proceeds to do just that. Now here's the kicker, he removes their heads places them in a bucket and goes to the police station. Upon arriving he proudly places the bucket on a desk and declares to the officers present that he has brought them two heads. Naturally everyone wonders what the hell he is talking about and gathers around the bucket. I would assume that our culprit would have been covered in blood or would have at least had some wounds on his body to support his claim that he had just viciously murdered two men but apparently they didn't take him too seriously until he opened the bucket that is. At which point the group of officers around him, some of whom were armed, simultaneously took of running. At least that is how the story goes.

On a lighter note, playing Call of Duty today, Search and Destroy on Underpass. Very long, very intense game with every round coming down to a 1 on 1 stand off. Score is tied, round winner takes the match and naturally (yes I love using that word) it's down to one of my not so reliable friends vs one of the better players on the other team. He decides to camp out, puts down a claymore and begins the ever exhausting waiting game. Eventually he gets tired of it and begins to slowly move around vigilantly checking every corner, reacting to every single movement then nothing. He stops moving, stops looking around, stares up at the sky, pulls out a grenade, throws it at his feet and watches it as it goes off, thereby killing himself in quite spectacular fashion. We lose of course.but surprisingly no one is complaining, the guys we were playing against weren't even celebrating, no one is saying a thing. Everyone is simply wondering what the hell happened, then seemingly out of nowhere he suddenly says "Sorry guys I couldn't take the pressure." Uncontrollable laughter ensues

I should set up a thermal and/or hearbeat sensor and/or silencer class just for Underpass. The visibility on that map is low as hell. It's a bit like COD4's Downpour, but less building density and more foliage and hills.

As for your home country's police, I don't know whether to call them chickens or smart. Not smart enough to take the hint the first time maybe, but smart enough to recognise danger(?).

And, of course, not at all very responsible.

Got a free copy of assassin's creed 2 today, which is cool since I wanted to play it, but wasn't going to buy it cause of the shitty DRM.

But for the price of free, I can put up with it ;P.

[Penner]

Its funny scary because it's true.

[samsonlonghair]

Who the hell are Robert Pattinson and Kristen Steward?

I'm smiling today because it's payday. Time to go get liquored up!

[Death BOO Z]

they are a two pretty decent actors, who got shamed into the worst casting in the universe:
Edward and Bella from Twilight.

it's a horrible fate for both of them, a shame that all the money they make from the movies won't be able to erase.
and they make a lot of money.

I'm stressing about my stats final tomorrow, but I just did the math and I need a 45 (out of 100) on the test to get a C to pass the class and a 69 if I want to excel with a B.

I think I'll settle for the C and save myself some gray hairs. If I get a B then that's icing on the cake. This makes me smile.

Yeah, those little numbers are always good to know.

It's kind of annoying sometimes for my program where we have to pass each individual component in some courses, so you get some cases where if you fail the last test, you fail the course. If you pass it however, you've got enough points to get a Credit (B).

You need a B to pass a class?

I'm pissed next semester a C- will not give you credit for a class that's a prereq for another class. We're moving to the +/- system which sucks in the first place.

[Buffalobiian]

You need a B to pass a class?

No, I needed a C to pass a class. But I'm also required to pass each individual assessment piece to pass that class. So for my final piece of assessment that year, I would get a B overall if I merely passed the last exam (since the other assessments were pretty good). However, if I failed the exam itself (<50%), then I would have failed the class, since I wouldn't have passed each component.

[Dark Dragon]

Just finished my Cost/Budget final and it was pretty brutal.

The subject itself is pretty simple and straight forward. The test however was 10 questions with each being split into 3 separate parts. The professor would only count the question as correct if you got all 3 parts right. We're also given limited information so everything needed to be calculated and worked out. Since getting even just the numbers wrong mean missing the entire question, most of the time went to double checking every calculation.

I was among the first 10 to finish the test and it still took around 4 hours.

Reading posts like this make me smile. I had just joined Gotwoot during my Freshman year of college and I made a ton of posts at 4 in the morning writing papers and studying for finals. Brings back lots of memories.

Good luck, man.

I had to goto work last night... I was out of town since wednesday and didn't have much sleep. I got there and had a total mental block when trying to open the door because I don't usually need to use the keypad.

So, I decided I would just use the back door. There's supposed to be 15 seconds allowed to disarm the alarm. I opened the door and hit a dead sprint all the way to the front of the office to turn off the alarm. I made it in 13 seconds but that didn't matter because it actually goes off right away !!!

But... since our permit was expired, the police were not dispatched and therefore I wasn't given a $500 ticket for false-alarm !

Shouldn't they normally set the alarm for longer anyway? If it takes you a 13-second dead sprint to get there, then anybody less capable or running (without falling) would get fined pretty often.

[Kraco]

Certainly you wouldn't be paying it in any case if you were told there's a 15 seconds grace time. Whoever misinformed you would get the instant win ticket.

Besides, isn't it usually a security company that sends guards there? You must be a bank employee if real police come directly.

My cellphone's back from "repairs"!! (after... 4 weeks?)

Yet to see if there are any problems, so here's hoping.
