I would have bid entirely too much on a signed skateboard. He's a better skater than I am, though I don't street skate anymore, just longboard/downhill/slalom skate.

I'd go with Doug if it's a boy.
Nope. I don't have a wife anyways.

What made me smile: My husband trying to scrounge up money to buy me a new fight stick and our doggies happy to see me come home.

What ticked me off: I work at a Doctors office and our phones, computers, and fax machine were not functioning properly all day long. Hard to do your work when all of your tools are broken and sick people are still sick regardless if your office is working properly.

What made me smile: Guy came into the Gamestop I work at stoned out of his mind asking, "Hey man... Do you have that game?" When I tried to asked for more details he was like "You know man... that game..." I told him yes, and when he asked me where it was i said I didn't know, then he left.

I can't help but feel this was the perfect opportunity to say "Oh, you mean Battletoads!"

Sounds like a bro. Was probably looking for Call of Duty or Madden.

I had to deal with stoners at work once who wanted me to find them PS3 games. They took up 20 minutes of my time with their nonsense. COD was "too complicated" for them, and the sports games were "too expensive." Then they wanted me to hide a gun safe they saw in sporting goods in the back room for them so they could come back in and buy it tomorrow.

Seriously, if any of you get stoned, please stay home. You're an incredible aggravation to those who work with the public.

Stoners can be aggrivating but at least their exploits make for some good stories.

I just have to say:

When I worked for Wal-Mart, I was always stoned. I had praise from both of my bosses that I was one of their best workers.
