When my grandmother died, she left me a clock in her will. It's nothing special itself, but suddenly, it means something.

I was listening to this song 'Time to Pretend', and that's what made me think about her and the clock.

;(
 
I wrote four pages(2700 words) of alternative rules to be used by my family for the ancient board game Acquire that we all play every time we're over there. This is yet another way to spice things up for when we play(since it's my uncles favorite board game, we play it all the time and it has since become my favorite board game).

When we started playing this new way without a written rule set (having hashed it out before the game roughly), we once got into an argument that lasted a straight 30 minutes. This way, there won't be any argument.. and it'll be great.

WOO! What a nerdy thing to do, huh? lol

dude, my family playes acquire too. i bought it at a yard sale for 75 cents, the box is at least 30 years old. its awesome but damn does it get heated.
 
So apparently I have a spider infestation. After I made that post last night, I turned on the light and looked at my ceiling. There were dozens and dozens of little baby spiders running around on my ceiling. I proceeded








Sorry, just killed another.


Anyways, after I saw all those little ****ers I proceeded to freak out and gtfo of my room. I slept downstairs until this morning. Then I got my brother, a vacuum, a broom, a swiffer thing, and some febreeze, and proceeded to exterminate. Its fairly clean now, except for that one that I just killed while writing this post. I think i'm still going to have to spray some shit around and possibly spider bomb my room and/or the attic.

We love the game! It's primarily the game we play... ours are all originally bought and owned, from different years and thus different styles.

My first serious 3d game attempt will be to recreate the game of acquire for online multiplayer play in such a way that it captures the experience entirely as it is at the table... because acquire is really a social game and where it gathers the most fun.

I feel good now that the one time I woke up I was completely covered in winged termites rather than spiders.

In fact, I feel blessed.
 
Yep. For a while, while I was working at Zales, I noticed that in the corner of my room the popcorn ceiling was sort of falling away. I thought maybe it was some sort of water damage from the attic. We ignored it. It got worse. One day as I was sleeping, I woke up with a feeling of tickling/itching and felt like there were things crawling on my bare feet and my face. I sat up in bed and didn't have my glasses on, looking around and it looked like there were whole peppercorns everywhere(blurred due to the lack of glasses), but they were moving around. I completely freaked out and jumped out of bed and out of the room.

I came back a while later entirely shaken up and peered inside. Before I could realize what they were, I looked down and there was a huge pool of them at my feet near the door opening. Freaked out again, but instead I looked down and saw that they were winged bugs, like ants.

Turns out they were winged termites, and they were all coming out of my ceiling. The entire room was coated in the buggers, and we went through it with an iron fist, vacuuming absolutely everything before setting it outside the room until every last little ****er was gone. Ended up having to pay the termite guys to come put some slow acting poison up in the wall and down on the ground in the tub hatch that my room has leading under the tub.


Never will forget that experience, thinking that I was covered in black ants or spiders or something as I saw them moving around all blurred.

Retail Defender, AntiCheapskate Edition
Electronics Store | Chicago, IL, USA

(I work in a large electronics retail chain. A guy asks me to find the latest version of Norton AntiVirus for him, which I do. He takes a look at the price and starts yelling about how outrageous it is ($100.00 US).)

Guy: ?What the h***? How can you people get away with this? This is a scam!?

Me: ?Sir, I can suggest another type of protection if this one is too expensive??

Guy: ?No way! This is the one I want, but I?m not paying this.?

Me: ?Sir I??

Guy: ?I bet I can find it online for much cheaper. Heck, even free! ?

Me: ?Sir, I think that??

Guy: ?That?s what I?ll do? I?ll find it for free online! Better than this s***!?

(A young woman nearby is listening and speaks up.)

Woman: ?Yeah, you can find it online, for free.?

Guy: ?Really, where? Tell me!?

Woman: ?L****party.org.? (Warning: This is a disturbing porn site that I would not recommend viewing.)

Guy: ?Thanks!? *turns back to me, smirking* ?Ha, guess I won?t be spending any money on this s***!?

Me, to the girl: ?That? was awesome.?

Woman: ?Well, an a**hole like that deserves it. I figured that you couldn?t tell him that without getting fired.?

(The young woman gets a free gift card; that guy never comes back. I still wonder what went through his mind when the site popped up.)

This one's for you baby:

A rough draft I made one morning when I first figured out how to use my mic over my music projects. You have to listen to it a few times to catch it all I think.


EDIT - just ignore the seek timer, the audio is actually a few minutes long. VBR does that sometimes.

The bit about the hotel I jacked from some stand up comedian I saw once so I don't want to take credit for it. It was my inspiration for the whole thing and for the other parts I wrote.
 
I've been on that site for a while now. Good stuff but I'm starting to lose any hope for humanity.
 
I just spent twenty four hours with my good buddy. We watched four films. It was very erotic, except not at all. Good times!

So!

It's the ****ing holidays man, alright! And I don't have much to do today and this guy wanted to do something except chickened out so what do I do, lol?
 
I just bought this.
