I should have known this! Instead I walk out of my way to a local pizza place because I got a coupon for a free pizza. I thought the coupon was just a regular coupon or promotion. It said all you had to do was show your student ID.

Found out you have to apply to a MTV credit card from Citi bank to get the free pizza. They had me walking back out the door at "MTV".

Sad when companies do such retarded gimmicks to get people to sign up for something that sucks so bad that no one will sign up for it any other time.

I'm actually thinking about doing one of those INTERNET offers to get a half priced MP3 player but with the $20 hidden SnH charge and the fact that the thing is only worth $250 now instead of $350 (they don't seem to have updated since the price drop) it's gonna be 195$ to get it. And I have a best buy coupon for 10% off so I could get it for 225 at the store. So in the long run I wouldn't be saving that much. I think I'm gonna say fuck it and buy the Creative Zen one with the big screen and built in speaker.

Duh. Like I always say...

Wells Fargo Guy: Want to win a free car?
Me: No.
WFG: What?
Me: No thank you.
WFG: But it's free.
Me: Nothing's free in this world.
WFG: Do you have a car?
Me: No.
WFG: It's a Honda Accord.
Me: Isn't that one of the most frequently stolen cars?
WFG: ...But you have nothing to lose by entering.
Me: It'll get stolen anyway. No loss. And my stuff won't be in it.
WFG: It's free.
Me: Nothing's free.

The taxes aren't.

Cars cost too much money. Or maybe it's just my car.

YOU cost too much.

But I have a coupon!

MegatronYES · « **Reply #8 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 12:57:56 AM »

Oh no! See, that was just a newspaper ad with dashed lines around it to make it stand out, the special is for all this month and you don't actually need to present us with a coupon to get the special price.

Plus, you're ugly.

People in England expected "Free Willy" to be pron. Think how disappointed they were.

Don't whales have huge penises?

Merla · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 20, 2007, 02:47:01 PM »

But that's not something people want to see unless they have a sick thing for whales.

This response suggests to me that you may actually be ugly.

B E C K · « **Reply #16 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 02:00:50 AM »

I didn't think he was. Plus I didn't read the part he quoted, so he appears to have a thing for whales.

MegatronYES · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 02:27:10 AM »

Well, if you didn't think that he was... then that means that through a complex scien-fucking-tific reasoning system that only I have even a remote hope of understanding

....

Either both or neither of you are ugly.

Rama · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 21, 2007, 03:19:30 AM »

Well I didn't think she was ugly either, so I hope it's the latter. Course we could both just have werid tastes.

That's true. I think frogs and toads are adorable but can't stand Jessica Alba's face.

Based on that little number...
I"m gonna have to call this one an "inconclusive", pack up my scientist kit and go home.

B E C K · « **Reply #21 on:** Sep 22, 2007, 07:11:55 AM »

A syringe and a tiny hammer in a ziploc bag aren't a "scientist kit".

You know what's pretty good? Chocolate peanut butter Corn Pops that's what.

I don't remember who posted that though.

TomDuo/Derrick seems like a likely candidate.

<.<;

Why does the kinky stuff always get attributed to me? I contribute many diverse topics of conversation on this forum, covering the broad spectrum of arts, sciences, and multi-faceted aspects of the world culture. My historical background has given me a unique way of observing reality, and I'd like to think of myself as an academic now that I am enrolled in a post-graduate degree and an active member of the faculty teaching the youngsters and in turn bettering myself.

It probably was me, though. Dolphinsex is funnnnnny.

IDE · « **Reply #28 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 05:38:41 PM »

I saw an animated .gif of a girl being boned by a dolphin. Apparently they'll approach humans for sex.

Derrick · « **Reply #29 on:** Sep 24, 2007, 11:21:24 PM »

They do, they enjoy sex quite alot.
