Here's a suggestion (better late than never): don't give him anything.  You don't owe him anything, and if he wants to be a shit about it, all the better to not feed it.

Watch yer ass, Hummah!

I never understood who would watch a show about a bunch of non-MILF forty-somethings having sloppy second-hand sex with other losers.

Asaba Maryland?  

Never mind.

The only time cold bothers me is when I have to work in it because it precludes wearing sufficient layers as it hampers mobility.  I remember dangling over a near-frozen river in single digit temperatures with 20 MPH north winds to I could work on a frozen field measurement device.  As if they needed it RIGHT THEN, as it was used to measure river stage.  You know, with the river being frozen, and all.

The blind swordsman who goes around fighting for the little guy, right?  I've seen a couple older movies.  It's like Kung Fu, only set in the right place.

While I use a percentage as a guide, it's not a rule.  If they're good to me, I'm good to them (if you consider the rounded up value of 20% to be good)  If they're really good, though, I don't think twice about putting more on the table.  It's part of the cost of eating out somewhere decent.

With my biggest pet peeve being cold food, though, I don't really take that out on the tip or the server.  If there's a problem with that which can't be solved by sending it back, I just ask for the manager and expect gift certificates for the trouble

Several years ago, I was talking to someone who had just gotten a ticket for speeding.  I liked what she had to say about it: "Oh, well, this'll just have to make up for all those other times I was hauling ass and didn't get caught."

I just never could bring myself to watch Last Exile.  Dunno if I'm just spoiled by watching on DVD, didn't want to support the abortion of a channel that is G4FuckTV, or didn't want to fire up ye olde VCR again.  

Producers of anime need to either learn to plan their series better, wait for the mangas to reach a good stopping point before adapting them, or get out of the 26 episode rut they're all in.  My most recent favorite anime series suffered greatly from the second on that list, bringing down an otherwise perfect show.  All they had to do was wait a year on it to allow the next manga volume to wrap up the current storyline so as to come to a logical and satisfying ending point, but they blew it.  

The only saving grace for this problem is the chance of eventually getting either an OVA or a movie out of the deal.  But that's not guaranteed, as in the example I mentioned above.

As for why Gungrave hasn't aired yet, it's because it's still being dubbed.  They've only released the first two DVD volumes so far....

People have to be weaned off the idea that driving is a right.  The fact that you own a potential 3,000 lb. weapon of mass destruction doesn't mean you can just drive however the hell you please.  

You should have to pass a tough written test (eliminate the stupid), run an obstacle course (eliminate the slow responders), and do it every year to make sure you got it.  They do it for motorcycle licenses (except for the every year thing), why not regular cars?

The amount of tip I give is directly proportional to A) how well I'm served and B) how hot the waitress is.  If you're a guy server, well, you're SOL if you don't really kiss my ass.

Back to old people: there were two octogenarians on a park bench.  One of them gets a sour look on his face, looks at the other old man, and says, "Did you just fart?"

"Of course I did," said the other senior.  "What, you think I smell like this all the time?"

You blew on them to clear dust out.

Also, there's also the problem of the carts not meeting the contacts in the console correctly. I've read about a method to open up the console and retighten the contacts so they'll work  like new...

The open end is a design flaw...then again, the design of the original NES was a bad joke in general.  As crappy as Atari games and consoles were, at least the 5200 cartridges had a self-retracting shield over the contactors to prevent this very problem.  They didn't need those goofy little black sleeves.  Everybody remember those infernal doohickeys?  You always either lost one or a game didn't come with one.  I don't know what they did between NES and SNES, but at least they did fix that shortcoming...I never had a dust problem with SNES games.

My old SNES quit working some years ago, and I bought a new one after giving up on fixing it myself.  I noticed that the freaking thing had a broken AC plug not a few months later.  Hello, I just plugged it in and left it there and didn't even touch the thing again until I disconnected it to move it, and it's broken?  Shenannigans!  The thing is just fragile with age, I guess.  That happens a lot with lighter colored plastics, anyway.

I've had a full-time job for the past year, so I'm up for the Iron Man Competition in terms of life-time achievement in the job market.  Thank you, Lord.  But I also work as a systems administrator for my alma mater (basically, I set up their computer network and troubleshoot it when there's a problem) and do lots of part-time community work for which I am not compensated despite filling a position that would be paying $13,000 a year if they had to actually go out and find somebody to work it.

In other words, I need a girlfriend in the worst way.

I love old people.  They'll say anything.  They're better'n little kids when you get them going.

I think they count out change and everything because A) yeah, they've slown down, B) many are trying to be helpful, C) many are skinflints and don't want to break a dollar, and D) they don't trust young people not to take advantage of them.

Anybody praising Nintendo's console construction obviously skipped out on the NES and SNES.  Those things were garbage in terms of durability...particularly NES.  Remember blowing in the carts and console to make the games work?  That was the first blue screen of death I remember seeing.  I don't even remember how many SNES controllers I demolished, when the NES pads to their credit took far greater abuse.

"Ash tray" is an apt description of them after Unit-01 gets through wiping her ass with them.
