Heh. Fuck a Wikipedia makes me giggle.

[Sky]

She really should change it. I've been busting out 'fuck a wikipedia' at inappropriate times. Since we live in a culture that can't control itself, we must erase all bad influences! FUCKAWIKIPEDIA. My girl think's I'm nuts. I once tried to explain the chicken-eatin' part...it only made it worse.

O RLY?

I think it reflects on her after two years ;)

I will be loading up EQ2 tomorrow night, assuming I can find a digital download for it (I am lazy).

Depending on what discs you already own, you might not want to do this.  The digital version of EoF is $40, but so is the retail box, which also includes the other expansions and some bonus crap (the +270 veteran days is handy).

[Sky]

I bought it DD (I already had the expansions, but the Adv Packs are from the Pass), and I may have the extra days. I'm not sure how it works. I have a pre-order age account and a three-year vet reward, I'm guessing it's from the original registration? When did it launch, anyway? 

It would be cool to have vet rewards for a year longer than the game's been out!

[Sauced]

Sept. 04?  Something like that, maybe a little earlier.  That's when I first started my account, anyway.

[Sky]

I don't even want to post right now and break my 6699 post count! But I can't resist posting this bizarre img. More from the Stuff I Stumbled Across While Googling Another Image file.



File name march_against_Bush. Hmm.

I want to see this guy and the God Hates Fags guy in a cage match.

There are no inappropriate times to say "fuck a wikipedia".

People who try to read a book/paper/blackberry and walk in the middle of a busy area like a subway station should have their teeth smashed out with a piece of rebar.  Same goes for loving couples who hold hands, walk slowly and form a human wall that the ten thousand people behind them can't get past.

[Strazos]

Fuck snowboarders who sit down in the middle of the trail, all next to eachother, all across the trail perpendicular to the fall line.


GET TO THE SIDE OF THE TRAIL, ASSHATS!

[Sky]

Basically anyone who lacks basic consideration for those around them should be punched in the face. Yesterday I decided if I ever magically get rich I'm going to buy a hundred trucks and just start smashing into people who do selfish asshole driving maneuvers. I'll be the happiest guy on earth.

I also like people who shop at the supermarket with their entire extended family and strategically block entire swaths of the store with expertly places carts.

I also like people who have no understanding of their own miasma, which also ties into people who now feel it's appropriate to go shopping in pajamas.

I also like people who have lunch at my favorite restaurant, but carry on seperate cell phone conversations through the entire meal, never actually speaking to the people they're eating with. Saw an improved version a couple days ago...a couple texting silently through a meal. FUCKAWIKIPEDIA

Tourists who think locals are 'quaint'. A couple almost got killed on Monhegan Island last year because they were discussing the proper way to say the Mainer 'ayuh'. I don't even live there (though my family is from Maine) and I was ready to stab them. "I think it's "ayooh!"" "Aww...it's so cuuute how they bring their groceries in on a boat!" (said while blocking the local's trucks from leaving the dock)

I've got a long list.

Fuck snowboarders who sit down in the middle of the trail, all next to eachother, all across the trail perpendicular to the fall line.

You mean targets?

[Strazos]

More like obstacles. I'm not putting my own skis at risk just to trash some...trash.

Also, agree++ on your short list. Especially people shopping in pajamas. That relates to my hate of dumbass Kampus Kids (tm) who come to class 2 minutes after rolling out of bed. Fucking skanks.

Lets see....people asking me why there's not enough Wiis.
People asking me why there are not enough kids games on the 360 (or enough kids games in general).
People who drive SUVs crying about a little snow on the ground.
Most Philadelphia Eagles fans, and by extension, most Philadelphia sports fans. Just die in an old championship banner fire.
Anything having to do with roads in NJ. Learn2Pave, Learn2Plow.
People bitching because they can't get GH on the 360, after we asked if they wanted to reserve it, and they said they would just pick it up at launch. How many units do BB/Target have layng around the store?
um....high-level newbs in any game?

[Furiously]

I reserve my hate for one type of person.

The guy who when he see's a "right line ends" sign, gets into the right lane because there is no traffic there and speeds along while all the considerate people get into the left lane then at the last minute cuts back in.

[Strazos]

I only pull that trick if I know I Can get ahead of everyone. This is usually the case where I am coming up to a light that is about to go green, while everyone else is stopped.

You are very important and have places to be, unlike all those other dumbasses waiting in line like drones!

[Strazos]

I don't cut anyone off, and I'm already moving. I'm usually past them before the end of the intersection anyway. /shrug

[Merusk]

My *most favorite* driving asshole in the WORLD did the following:

There's an exit ramp I used to pass on the way to my last job that would back-up nearly to the highway, because there's a very large office park and college area off of it if you make a right turn.   The ramp widens to a right-turn island and a light for the left turns in the last 200' or so.  At some point in time, some BRILLIANT jackass figured out he could drive past the exit, then up the ramp embankment into the left turn lane, take a left and turn around rather than wait on the ramp with everyone else.   He must have done this every day, since the embakment had tire ruts rather than grass.

[Sky]

Straz, I was just joking with you, I understood what you meant ;)

Another thing I like is when someone flagrantly disobeys right-of-way and then has the gall to flip you off if you beep. I usually smile and wave. I had a woman follow me for about 20 blocks once, she was in the right lane, I was in the left. She was drifting into my lane and about to hit me, so I laid on the horn. It was winter, so I couldn't hear her, but she was jawing up a storm, giving me double birds (which I'm sure is a safe driving technique). She then slammed on the brakes, got in my lane and tailgated me for 20 blocks, double birds up and jaw moving /the entire time/, face flushed in anger. I was laughing so hard by the time I got to work. She made my day.

[Strazos]

I would have driven slower, just because.

[Yegolev]

Drivers that give other drivers a hard time (Double-Bird-Woman) obviously have nothing Important^TM to do.

I am a rather considerate driver, in general, however I don't have any problem taking an opening left by someone who has no where to be, leaving a large gap or otherwise being an inconvenience to the general driving public.  If someone is driving very slowly and I can get around them, I do so unless I will be an inconvenience to others.  I don't leave the road normally, mostly because I now drive a Maxima instead of a Ram pickup, but fuck asshats.

Two lane exit from the interstate, someone gets into the right lane, drives slooooowly and then moves over to make a left?  Asshat.  Stop blocking my shit.

Rightmost lanes blocked up by eighteen-wheelers, someone gets into the left lane and paces them?  Asshat.  Stop blocking my shit.

People who are not watching for the light to change and sit there after the green left-turn arrow lights up?  Asshat.  Pay attention to driving, not your fucking cell.

Don't slow down because there's a wreck on the other side of a concrete divider wall.  Asshat.

Now, as for the guy that goes along the exit-only or lane-ends, I figure it's not too bad on an individual level since he would not be able to merge back in unless the pussies let him in, and THEY are the problem.  If there are dozens of people doing this, however, it is an irritant if I am stuck behind the pussy or pussies that are letting them merge.  I guess I have an "open PVP" view of the highway.

I don't give a shit what other people do in restaurants (or anywhere) as long as it doesn't impact me.

I'll straddle both lanes in my landcruiser if I see that BMW'er coming up that wants to get to the front of the line. (Note this is a POS 1979 monster with 10 inch wide tires and screams hick with gun).

[Signe]

Aren't you the most adorable little guy?  Oh, yes, you are!   

[Merusk]

I was skeptical when they were brought over for Easter, but I think I prefer the new aluminum beer bottles Budweiser is using to the glass ones.  Tastes closer to beer out of a tap, imo.

We do this in the Hampton Roads.  It is almost a game; you can actually see people cheer when Mr. Trailer cock blocks someone.  God bless you, redneck.

I salute you, sir. 

There's always some motherfucker using the parking lot lane to dodge the traffic on the Bay Bridge toll plaza.  And I always watch, agonized, as he sails past me and up to the front of the line, where he only has to wait one or two cars before some fool lets him back in, ten minutes ahead of everyone else.  I always think to myself that if only I were closer to the front of the line, I could become a local hero by jumping out of my car, dragging him out of his, and stomping him into the asphalt.

[schild]

I'M VERY IMPORTANT AND I DID THE STRAZOS ABOUT 10 MINUTES AGO. THAT'S RIGHT. I USED THE MERGE LANE FOR PASSING. AND YOU KNOW WHAT. I DO IT ALMOST EVERY DAY.

Step up son, let the man go through. Let the man go through.

[Samwise]

You live in Arizona.  Are there even any other cars to pass?  I thought it was just tumbleweeds and cacti out there.

[Strazos]

Don't forget the armadillos. They make for nasty roadkill.

[schild]

I live in Phoenix. Not the rest of Arizona.

California probably has more barren land. And streets at 70 degree angles.

[Yegolev]

I have been blocked from merging from the ending-lane my share of times.  All part of the game.  When that eighteen-wheeler doesn't let me in, I salute him for having some balls and take a place behind him, as I should.  People who aren't paying attention or are otherwise flaccid drivers, I'm all over that.  If you leave an opening that is larger than my car, I just might slide in there.  Places to go and whatnot.  Sometimes I will make a left from the right lane, but only at that damn intersection at the Georgia World Congress Center over by the yellow lot while shitdicks ponder the meaning of that left-turn arrow.  If I don't make it, whatever, I take another route.  Can't win'em all.

Hate the game, not the player.

[Murgos]

If you can't get accelerate fast enough to get ahead of tractor trailer rig then maybe you should looking into upgrading to something with a bigger engine, like an Elantra or Aspire.  :-D

[Cheddar]

I decided to stop by Target and buy Everquest 2, but instead opted to buy a new Scion from down the street instead.

[Signe]

EQ2 is purdier.

[Lantyssa]

I don't see much difference.  They're both boxes.
