Work, enough said.
Friday´s coming, thank goodness!

[MetaKraken]

What grinds my gears is that I'm unable to sign back on PSN with wireless after trying out wired. Now I gotta find a way to make it wireless again tomorrow, if I wanna ditch my ethernet cable.

- "Straightlineable" chicanes like the ones at Modesto Heights, or P-Mar Project. You're practically forced to get the racing line exactly perfect or pinball everywhere.
- When you're in the bathroom, and you're in the middle of that kind of business, and then someone else wants to go.
- Raging fanboys of anything.
- Crab-rangoons with a soft outer "shell".
- Cross-dressing cosplay.
- Soft bread.
- Ugly people calling you out based on your appearance, yet they are ugly themselves.
- People who trace other artists' works and then claim it as their own.
- People who don't take the effort to shower at least once a day.
- Using a directional pad when playing fighting games, or older Wipeout games. Blisters much...
- Lack of bouncing and "floating falls" in Wipeout HD/Fury. The ships in 3 (and 3:SE) bounce more than busty anime chicks running!! Not as bad as Fusion though...
- I can't fly any other ship than Icaras in HD and 3:SE.
- My little sister floors me at Anulpha Pass with her Auricom, without fail, every time.
- The plasma bolt is so tough to use in HD/Fury, but it's so easy in 3 (and 3:SE).
- MODESTO FRIGGEN' HEIGHTS
- Statements which are often countered with "that's what she said".
- Good things that don't last long enough. (That's what she said?)
- MODESTO ING HEIGHTS
- People who find flat chests appealing. Double points if it's an anime fan. (Note: I myself an anime fan)
- People who insist on using non-metric measurements.
- Mary-Sue-type characters.
- Call of Duty, because Battlefield is better.
- Barrel rolls.
- Close-minded people.
- Being stuck for ideas on a drawing.
- The menu music in Wipeout Fusion.
- The numerous low walls and ceilings in Ubermall, Sebenco Climb, etc.
- Even in Eliminator mode, the Plasma Bolt isn't an instakill weapon in Wipeout HD.
- All of the HD:Fury ship designs bar Mirage.
- People who can't admit to their own flaws.
- Stupidly long lists like these.

I ROFL'd...

Introducing our new pilot Mary Sue, she's great at everything, is about a 30" bust, and prefers men with flat chests too!

[XR_GTR]

I think I just lost all my teeth from clenching/gnashing them so hard. ROFL

XD

Oh, wait, one last thing that bugs me...

Why is Qirex-RD's livery always purple and white, barring the first Wipeout? I mean, why purple? Now that SL is all jumbled up we'll never find out...

[mdhay]

Because their ships are.

[Nutcase:259]

Soft Bread

As opposed to uh.. Hard bread? toast?

also whats wrong with purple

[mdhay]

... When TF2 goes free to play forever and all you get is a freaking hat for having it already.

But in the nature of this.. I'm not really bothered. It's a hat.

[Medusa]

When people wait until I'm waxing to phone me and knock on my door...

[RedScar]

People who forget that your supposed to accelerate in the on-ramp to a highway. It is not safe to merge into traffic going 100-120 kph at 80 kph. ITS THE PEDDLE ON THE RIGHT!

[XR_GTR]

Ugh, that's not even the worst. You get lots of those in New Hampshire.

How about those senseless #@$%ers who insist on blocking intersections with their cars? Traffic jam central baby...

[greenymac]

You know what even worse? People that drive 10 miles under the speed limit in the fast lanes...If you're gonna cruise and you're not in a hurry, get in the right lane you idiot.

[Rennfisch]

War on German autobahn. It's like emliminator - weapons off. Cutting and jostling are commonplace. Furthermore are you among those who not dare to drive faster than 100 km/h and them who can not drive slower than 200 km/h.

[Colonel]

I heard somewhere that the German police are really tough on people driving dangerously on the Autobahn. Specifically that you are not allowed closer to the car in front than 1 metre for every Km/h you're driving. Is this true Renn?

[mdhay]

Sounds like the two chevron thing over here.

[Rennfisch]

The prescribed distance is actually half speed (160 km/h / 80 m), but often you cannot see the lights from the car behind you, so close they are.

The problem is that the police must present evidence. It needs a well-motorized car with expensive video equipment. Unfortunately, the police can only afford a few cars of this type, so they catch only a few speeders / tailgaters. But if they catch them....

An example:

At 160 km / h threaten following penalties:

Less than 40 m distance: 100 € and 2 points.
Less than 24 m distance: 240 €, 4 points, 1 month driving ban.
Less than 8 m distance: 400 €, 4 points, 3 months driving ban.

It could be that in other countries you must pay more money, but in Germany you get also points for traffic violations. If you have more than 18 points, you lose your driving license!

Funny how ones miles vary (pun semi-intended )

Whenever I have used the Autobahn, it has always been a good experience. Granted, most times I have been on my motorcycle and that kinda puts me in the top speed-bracket, so I haven't really had to dance with the lorries and so on.

I do remember one time though. 3 lanes in each direction (somewhere north of Osnabrück I think) and I check my mirror before I start overtaking a row of cars in the middle lane. Nothing there, so I buzz along at about 170 km/h, when I see a flash in the mirror. I look straight into the grille on a big Mercedes, furiously flashing his lights at me So, I throttle up to +200 km/h, overtake the cars and pull back in. The merc silently flies past me at what I'm guessing is 250 km/h. I admit I needed a small break after that

Italy on the other hand...

[DJ Techno]

I have equipment costing less than 5 grand that is suppose to be traveling with me in every bus I ride.


Instead that equipment, the four days of clothing and workout clothing n shoes.
Are on a supposed route and destinations of the Burlington Airport where I end the trip to Al's.


Now how did it come to be.

Jack rabbits from baggy and bus drivers unload all but mine. I'm suppose to be bac on the bus I.had been on when I arrived at charlotte, nc.

No the bus changes, my baggage is still on the bus I got off. The bus is moved and last but not least I spend a whole time getting the baggage. And supervisor Franklin says that the luggage will get there before I do...

Yeah. So with the evils and meanest facial look I have its made to the point that the supe, the cop guarding n controlling, and others. That I am not in the mood to even touch my shoulder. Cause it would it be broke and your elbow. I'm being calm m trying to let it control. But facial look is still unchanged.

The cop coming behind me, sees I'm still pissed. And we start a small talk. Cause he is cop and he has to read and understand body language. Mines is the type that comes with action if provoked. He loosin his gloves and takes them off standing next to me and we talk.

I.crack a small smile.

But still walk out with my chicken salad, a still continuing to calm down Acton, and still the face reads don't f with me.

Yeah its hard to get mad off me.
Especially when it comes to technology that I have had over the years doing good and bad things with.
And somebody else having it. Oh hell no

Getting IDed when trying to buy some beers, despite being 11 years older than I need to be. Oh well, I guess it's a compliment in a way.
