What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

Am i the only user that still has summer vacation on here?

Mine doesn't start yet. My school is Catholic, so we have a lot of days off during the year, which pushes back Summer Vacation a little.

Wow i have never run outta gas. that is so bad for your car when you do that it sucks crud and dirt into your engine. It's funny though to see so many guys on here admiting they have run outta gas. I always thought that was something only girls do or get accused of when there car breaks down.

Also your fuel pump is cooled by the gas around it. If you use your gas warning as a your indicator, you can cause your fuel pump to overheat and wear itself out.

There's still the fuel filter, but yeah could clog the filter up with any gunk that's made its way into the tank faster. The last time was over 10 years ago. As I said, I don't make a habit of it. Both times were the product of laziness combined with lots of very short local trips over several days.

I'm not quite at summer break yet myself.

I got a few very good laughs out of the Asylum's Thor knockoff "The Almighty Thor"

The guy playing thor liteararly looked like he was having trouble reading the cue cards. He had no acting ability whatsoever, but it looked like he was trying so hard it was bizzarly endearing.

Loki was played by Richard Greico and god did he look bad. I can imagine he spent that whole pay check on booze or blow. Hell by his performance he might have done that while still filming.

Smile: Birthday Party for me tonight! And holeeeeeeeee cow my parents way over did it on the gifts. I opened their gifts early as they left at around 5am et. It was like Christmas with everything they got me, and already at 9:40am, it has already been the best Birthday ever. By far.

Cherry on the Sundae, made a pretty penny on the Belmont.

Frown: As I mentioned, my parents left this morning and I already miss them. My parents are finally in non-parent mode and comfortable with it and relaxing with them is, well, relaxing.

Ticked: I was trying to buy a present for my friend, and the only place I could find it for a decent price was Craigslist. But, the town was pretty far away, so I called the buyer and asked him if I payed for the shipping and Paypal fees, if he could ship it. He said yes, but he needed to set up a Paypal account. I waited a whole week for a reply, but never heard a peep. So, just a few minutes ago, I called him back, and he told me that he had just sold the thing yesterday, because he thought that PayPal was a paid subscription service, and he didn't want to use that. First of all, how stupid is he to not be able to learn how PayPal works? Second, why was he so spineless to sell it when I already had it reserved? I hate it when this happens.

Sucks it didn't work out, but you'd trust some random stranger from Craigslist that is far away to send you something? At least with strangers on here there's a username and a (hoped) desire to be part of the community. Yes you had a phone number, but I'd be leery of getting screwed in that situation.

Arg I'm sorry.

If I have to drive far away I usually try to negotiate a lower price to make up for the lost gas money. I'll say, "Look, I have to come from Augusta Maine, how 'bout we make it $80 instead of $100?" if the person is desperate and has had no other offers they usually accept.

Smile: Was gonna get a free copy of Double Dragon NES from an ebay seller because of shipping delays. It finally came in the mail, and suprise, it wasn't Double Dragon, it was Double Dragon Two. Even better!

I'll have to keep that in mind. I very, very rarely shop on craigslist, but I do plan one of these days to hunt for some arcade stuff on the Dallas Metroplex one. 150 mile trips (and that's just one way) would use a LOT of gas.

Smile: Mark of the Wolves with my best friend who's in town for the week. Never played it before. Need I say more?

Frown: Well, I will say that the Dreamcast d-pad is a piece of shit. I've never gotten a blister so fast in my life.
