Push this, I dare you!
November 20th 2006, 23:44 CET by Greg The fearless overlords are preventing wanton destruction of this site by giving the masses a trickle of topics which clearly only they have interest in. So, I dare you to capitulate to me and force this topic in! |

LURKER.. ALERT! LURKER.. ALERT! *klaxons whirring, uniformed men running up and down corridors* Wait, false alarm, not a real lurker.. he's posted before. I can't believe you nominated Raven Shield or NFS: Underground for GOTY in '03 (thanks Jibble!). The Emperor: What?... Oh, F*$K!... That wasn't even fully paid for yet!... Who's THEY?...

I just got ID'd in a supermarket... for buying sherry vinegar. I had a short and fruitless argument with the creature at the check-out, trying to convince her that I wasn't buying any alcohol, and that, even if I had been, I was five years past the legal age limit to do so. The manager got called over. Unfortunately, I wasn't carrying any recognised proof of age on me. I tried showing them my Cardiff University ID card, and the manager shook his head and said, "This has expired, mate." Right. Well, I won't demand access to your collection of ancient manuscripts then. Eventually I convinced them to check if vinegar was on their list of restricted items, and when they found that (shock!) it wasn't, they had to let me purchase it, though somewhat grudgingly. Unfuckingbelievable. |

Tin-pot dictators are one of my fav pet peeves. it's been raining all night, your grass is still wet
too bad you're not the one I need to forget one each for walks and for talks, you're miss attraction-distraction a desperate interaction until I see some other plan of action |
|
At least they didn't taser you. I would have though, you student hippy! |
|
"This has expired, mate." I hate that. So what? The card expired so that's no longer me in the picture and that's no longer my information? Fuck you. |
|
I find that the solution to these problems is to simply carry a valid identification card with me at all times. I also make sure to subject myself to random searches/seizures as deemed necessary by the state. CARRY YOUR PAPERS, CITIZEN. CURFEW IS AT 9PM. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

Jib CARRY YOUR PAPERS, CITIZEN. CURFEW IS AT 9PM. LOL. I should carry ID more often. People in Cardiff just assume I'm old enough, because it's a student town. Not so, in this crummy bit of London because people quite reasonably assume that as soon as you're 18 you'll get the fuck out of it. Still, weirdly enough, I didn't anticipate any problem buying vinegar. And I'm not a student any more, deadlock! Hence my expired card. Still, I like the guy's logic that it ceased to prove my age after it had expired - surely that just makes me even older? I remember Bill Bryson complaining about a similar incident when he was asked for ID on an internal flight in America back in the days when you didn't have to have your brain biopsied at check-in. He produced an expired driving licence, and when the official complained that it was no longer valid, he said, "Well, I promise not to try and drive the plane." |

<blog> So I'm in Minnesota for the holidays. Yesterday, I was in Madison visiting my brother and grandmother. I saw Casino Royale and it was pretty good, though Bond and the love interest got pretty obnoxious and silly at times. I think the new direction for Bond is great as the last couple were incredibly dumb. So far its been a decent holiday with my family. I'm surprised. </blog> World of Warcraft is a pie eating contest where the reward is more pie.

Marsh: I was going to call you a dirty ex- student but thought better/worse of it for some reason. My wife completed a part-time course a few years ago and still gets away with presenting her student card for discounts and so on. |
|
The month before I graduated college, we got non-dated student passes with chips on them that don't get renewed every year. I look forward to claiming student discounts for years to come. Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.
|
|
If a discount is worth people looking at you with that, "Uhh, you're still in school?" expression on their faces, great... |
|
Tin-pot dictators are one of my fav pet peeves. If they didn't remove you from the facility with a police escort, you didn't rebel hard enough! It's my estimation that… every man ever got a statue made of him was one kind of sumbitch or another.
|
|
Wow. People go back to college/university all the time Warren. Also, asking for a discount that you're entitled to by virtue of being a student is nothing to be ashamed of. Better in your pocket than in theirs, right? |
|
Yes, but ... he's not entitled to it. |
|
I guess I worded that in a bad way. I'm not against students. |
|
I'm still entitled to it as I currently study at a university. I did however use my student pass from college in the time between my graduation from college and starting at the uni. Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.
|
|
I hate it when people refer to university as uni. Syllables people, use them! Today Officer Coon, Officer Nigger-hater, and Officer Keep-darky-down were acquitted of all racist charges.
|
|
It's Euro thing. I've never once heard an American call it a "Uni". I watched Aliens, and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
|
|
We rightfully call it college. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

Yeah, it's Euro and Australian. I hate them all. Today Officer Coon, Officer Nigger-hater, and Officer Keep-darky-down were acquitted of all racist charges.

I saw Casino Royale and it was pretty good, though Bond and the love interest got pretty obnoxious and silly at times. I think the new direction for Bond is great as the last couple were incredibly dumb. I liked it, the new non-cutesy, non-gadgety Bond is much better. The action was very much like Bourne Identity.

planetcrap, these days, is just crap. die already. |

At least they didn't taser you. I would have though, you student hippy! My girlfriend left the UCLA library about twenty minutes before all that crap went down. Talk about timing... Consensus is the dude was high on something, he was just too amped up to be real. The university is bracing for the lawsuit, of course, but since those cops are also LA cops, yeah, the city has a problem now too. Those cops are sooooooooo fucked. They'll be lucky if they still have jobs, if not just piloting a desk for the foreseeable future. It brewed up the most monstrous shit-storm that campus has seen in a long time. The student newspaper is having a field day. Canadians are so unfailingly polite that if you simply asked them to cede their sovereignty, you might be very pleased with the results.
|
|
We rightfully call it college. Uh, you're right. I was looking for a way to distinguish the two levels of college education I've followed but I guess I should've gone with Bachelor/Master. I got my Bachelor's degree in february and am now doing a Master program. Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.

And nobody cares! Item Number Fuck on my agenda? Swoop home like a fuck-falcon and fuck my old lady like I love her.
|
|
Gunpoint, in the uS, the Masters/PHD level of education is generally referred to as Grad School. |
|
If a discount is worth people looking at you with that, "Uhh, you're still in school?" expression on their faces, great... Living in a college town, and having attended college while looking somewhat older then my age, I have no clue what you're talking about. With grad school and people returning to get their degrees and MBAs, there's usually a ton of people not 18-22 as students on campus. I almost always had at least one person 40+ in most of my undergrad classes. Is this an actual expression you've seen or a conversation you've had? Or something you think people might think should that situation arise in line for a movie or something? Unless my sarchasm meter is completely broken and you really did think it was "great", what you're proposing sounds pretty good actually. Cold hard cash in exchange for some clerk you don't know looking at you funny for a second? What's the downside? |
|
I worded it badly. I said that already. Stop taking offense to it. |
|
I'm going back to school to try and better myself and all Warren can do is mock me. Actually, the liberalism of the media - as a general thing - IS a major fallacy. What the media is, is a whore. -LP Johnsen Family

I'm going back to school to try and better myself and all Warren can do is mock me. Well, you've got nowhere to go but up! |
|
As Warren's official spokeswoman (he refuses to change the job description) I can tell you that Warren meant to ask if the discount was worth the look that says 'you're still in school?' if you aren't, in fact, still in school. Warren would like you to shut the fuck up already. |
|
At the local theatre they always ask if you're a student or not...and they don't ask you to show ID if you say you are. I refuse to do it, but others I know don't have that problem. I love me some me. | "Aren't I on record as loving trannies?" - McBain
|
|
I've used my college ID to get cheaper movie tickets after I had graduated. The key was to have an ID that didn't have a year on it. My cafeteria ID did not have an year listed. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__

I actually approve of that, it means I've got something to download and watch on Mondays, which in turn means I'm one step closer to having television for every day of the week. Speaking of television, are any of our honourable British readers watching the State Within? It hasn't been too bad so far, although since it's a mini-series the plot is somewhat densely packed and tricky to follow (especially the first episode). If you haven't heard of it then it's bit like the Beeb took Spooks ('s called MI5 in the US I think), made it more about politics and then set it in America. I still haven't got used to Jason Isaacs as a good guy though, seems altogether unnatural. MP3 Of The Week: Sister Rosetta Tharpe - This Train.mp3 (?)

They moved it because the ratings have been sucking Fridays, and ad rates on Fridays aren't great (the people you want to sell to are out, buying movie tickets and alcohol and whatnot). Sci-fi broke their "scifi friday" block of programming and now they're trying to build a new Sunday night of relatively serious, dark sci fi, with Dresden Files and Galactica. |

Tivo don't care. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Yep. Plus, we get the east coast feeds, so I'll be watching it at 7:00. Drow are elves but evil. And you know they are evil because of their black skin, and because they are run by women. --Foodbunny

hopefully the dresden files don't suck. The books are enjoyable. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" — "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

Hahaha, Bill O'Reilly thinks that video games, computers, and iPods are going to destroy society as we know it. I know O'Reilly is a shrill and pompous ass, but I still think it's funny. People who gnash and wail about how some new medium or technology is going to destroy society as we know it just show themselves as giant dinosaurs who can't keep up with advancement. He might as well hang a big sign on himself that says, "I'M IRRELEVANT." Current novel word count: 24,000 words (I'm hoping by putting it here it helps motivate me)
|
|
I fully expect the tech/graphics guys to start running funny tag lines when ever O'Reilly is on screen now. |
|
Also is is just me or does the first section sound like he's endorsing drug use? |
|
He's just finding another way to bash liberals. Ignore it. Canadians are so unfailingly polite that if you simply asked them to cede their sovereignty, you might be very pleased with the results.

VHS, 30, dies of loneliness The home-entertainment format lived a fruitful life By DIANE GARRETT After a long illness, the groundbreaking home-entertainment format VHS has died of natural causes in the United States. The format was 30 years old. No services are planned. The format had been expected to survive until January, but high-def formats and next-generation vidgame consoles hastened its final decline. "It's pretty much over," concurred Buena Vista Home Entertainment general manager North America Lori MacPherson on Tuesday. VHS is survived by a child, DVD, and by Tivo, VOD and DirecTV. It was preceded in death by Betamax, Divx, mini-discs and laserdiscs. Although it had been ailing, the format's death became official in this, the video biz's all-important fourth quarter. Retailers decided to pull the plug, saying there was no longer shelf space. As a tribute to the late, great VHS, Toys 'R' Us will continue to carry a few titles like "Barney," and some dollar video chains will still handle cassettes for those who cannot deal with the death of the format. Born Vertical Helical Scan to parent JVC of Japan, the tape had a difficult childhood as it was forced to compete with Sony's Betamax format. After its youthful Betamax battles, the longer-playing VHS tapes eventually became the format of choice for millions of consumers. VHS enjoyed a lucrative career, transforming the way people watched movies and changing the economics of the film biz. VHS hit its peak with "The Lion King," which sold more than 30 million vidcassettes Stateside. The format flourished until DVDs launched in 1997. After a fruitful career, VHS tapes started to retire from center stage in 2003 when DVDs became more popular for the first time. Since their retirement, VHS tapes have made occasional appearances in children's entertainment and as a format for collectors seeking titles not released on DVD. VHS continued to make as much as $300 million a year until this year, when studios stopped manufacturing the tapes. I watched Aliens, and I didn't even get a lousy t-shirt.
