Useless Conversation

[Yegolev]

Pretty sure I copied and move KOTOR saves before too, though that game is ancient by now.

I believe you did not, if I might be so saucy.  I seem to recall writing a letter to obtain a memory-card-to-USB adapter for Ye Olde Xboxe since the saves were too big to fit on a memory card, only to discover that the saves were copy-protected.  Much anger.

I have the Slim PS3 fully operational now, after way too much hassle.  Way too much.

If I did do it (and it's entirely impossible that I am thinking of another game entirely) it wold have been from one PC to another.  No xbox involved. 

Come to think of it, though, it probably was something else.  Like some really good porn.

[Yegolev]

If I was playing one of these on a PC, we would not be having this discussion.   Copy-protected files on a PC?  lawl

[HaemishM]

Was he right ?


(You'll probably tell me to buy the book and find out, right ?)

 

Buy the book and find out. 

Actually, if he only read as far into the book as I think he did, he could very well have a valid point. Some of the characters don't really start to distinguish themselves until later in the book and into the next book as well. But that line was so funny, I had to share it. I plan to use it again somewhere.

[Sky]

Got my first negative review on Amazon for my first book today - a 1-star review. He had one good line in there - he said my characters were "spray on tans." That's some funny shit. 

You've got to comment that on Amazon, with the stuff you said here. Maybe more snarky and detailed, even.

I knew that 

[Murgos]

Well, after months of sporadic, half-assed looking and a couple of interviews, an offer has come in.  Very nice raise assuming I accept.

[Ironwood]

You should accept.  And stop being a drama queen.

Too tired to locate and insert a rageguy picture.

Yego, was it you that had a pool? Or was that Yoru? One of you Y people.

[Segoris]

$75,000 collected in fees on 250 fines/fees/etc issued...so $300/pool has been collected. How much does getting a license for a pool cost there?

Though considering the low salary cost to get a person who could be assigned to that task, that could be pretty profitable for some counties/areas to pay a temp worker or some intern to take up that role of pool watchdog.

Around here it's $100 for an in-ground pool permit.  That doesn't count the permit costs for new plumbing and sewer hookups, though. (And the monthly sewer surcharge.  Bastards.)

I assume the fine isn't a one-time deal.  More like "here's a $300 fine as a warning, if your pool hasn't been filled in or properly permitted a year from now you'll get a much bigger one and maybe some jail time."

Yeg.  Yoru has an unlicensed volcano in his back yard.

Blue Angels are strafing my building

Practice runs for this weekend's flypast.   Apparently.   /blurgmeh

That gave me a Phineas and Ferb flashback

I'm jealous.

[Yegolev]

I'll buy Lantyssa some beer if I find myself in Houston, since I see she has been keeping score.

[Murgos]

A dark horse enters the race and the plot thickens.

Yeah, me too...why would you be all /blurgmeh about it?  What does that even mean?!

[Johny Cee]

So.  Are you trying to kill her?

[Paelos]

He's just insane from work.

[Yegolev]

I seem to be, since I don't understand.

[Merusk]

I seem to be, since I don't understand.

She's allergic to gluten, thus can't drink standard beer.  I, however, trust you meant a gluten-free brand.

[NowhereMan]

 

And so on and so forth from all those who didn't know (but somehow feel bad for not remembering all that stuff. That bit might just be me).

[Selby]

Could just be an expression... people always tell me they will buy me a beer when we meet despite knowing I don't drink (hi Grimmy!).

[Lantyssa]

We'll make it something with hard liquor and I'll forget he forgot beer is poison to me.

[Minvaren]

It's possible to brew beer gluten-free, but I have heard that the taste ends up being...  "interesting" as the main ingredient tends to be sorghum.   

[Lantyssa]

There's also the fact that I find beer tastes disgusting.  I'm just lucky that I can claim celiac to avoid offending beer connoisseurs.

[Yegolev]

We'll make it something with hard liquor and I'll forget he forgot beer is poison to me.

Oh dear.  Of course you can take your pick.  Apologies that I misplaced my Lantyssa scorecard.  I might need to get you a bottle of scotch now.

[Ironwood]

I'm starting to feel lazy now.  I've cleaned and cleared the whole house from top to bottom, sorted the garden and my home network is as perfect as it'll ever get.

I understand now why people who win large sums of money don't retire early.

[Sky]

I understand now why people who win large sums of money don't retire early.

Because they're boring as fuck?

Srsly, get a hobby, dude. Pick up a guitar or paint brush or pen. Live life not being a slave to the monetary grind that has utterly destroyed so much of humanity's creativity.

[Ironwood]

Ahahaha.

If you'd heard me sing or play, you wouldn't ask me to do that to humanity.

If you've seen my 'still lives', you'd know I only paint bleeding whores, gasping their last and, well, no-one wants to see that.

I am back to writing though, so well played, but I still have itchy, itchy, itchy fucking palms.

I feel I should be DOING something.

Ach well.  Useless conversation, right ?

[Rasix]

Stop lamenting what I'd consider to be the ideal situation.  Large piles of money and nothing to do is my end game.  Instead of have to find ways to shoe horn that into no free time, work, and smaller piles of money I'm not allowed to do anything with.

If we were in the same room, I'd hit you over the head with my PSP.

That sounds splendid.  You should come stay with us for a week.  Or maybe a month.

[Ironwood]

You've not met ANY Scottish people, have you ?

You put a Scottish person in the Garden of Eden and he'd say 'Aye, sure, but who's cutting the grass, that's what I want ta know !'

We're a miserable cunt of a race mate.
