LOL that reminds me of this one time I was with my fiancée at the record exchange. there was this big guy just c**k blocking the living day lights of everyone else there, trying to look at the games and anime/cartoon dvd box sets. he's talking to his wife if he should get mega X and X2 and a VOLTRON Tin dvd set. the gamer in me Broke out in a sweat because both MM games were $7 a piece and the voltron set was $4.00. As soon as he looked away( i dont normally do this) i nabbed all 3 items and told my fiancée to wait outside(judging that i had just been a d**k and took his would be picks) I quickly dashed for the register to pay for the hardware only to be confronted at the front door by this huge biker looking guy, (my face when confronted :shock:) after he expresses his feelings toward my attempt to be slick he tells me he gonna buy the games and dvd set off me or hell kick my @ss.
me being of Hispanic descent I got into character and started speaking Spanish and acting as if i didn’t understand a word he was saying, after a few tense seconds he let me go (:cry: i was so scared) would I do it again... yeah for $7 mega mans all do it all week :lol:

I think the lyrics/poems/things I write are crap... and then I read lyrics online. I almost feel like I could be passable, as long as I could find the right singer for them.

It's like "OH CRAP THESE PEOPLE ARE INTO THE THINGS I'M INTO THAT'S AWESOME" and then I froze up.

Feels bad man.
Haha I'm the same way. Really socially awkward. I overhear lots of conversations I probably could/should enter, but I'm usually too shy and I walk away.

I did happen to mention to a retro gaming store employee that I owned a TurboGrafx-16. he asked where I lived so he could rob my house. Come on man, they're not that rare...

Do you guys sometimes get upper abdomen or stomach pain when you consume cheap alcohols? I seem to when I do, but it doesn't last very long..

Cheap alcohol is never worth it. Always spend a few extra bucks for the good stuff.

Nope and I drink plenty of rail booze. Are you drinking on an empty stomach? That could cause some tummy aches.

I don't think that's a good sign, cheap or not.

For those of you who don't know how to access kickassTorrents, try kickasstorrents.com instead of kat.ph ...

Apparently the kat.ph domain name expired a few days ago...
