Velf: I took a math test the other day about trig identities and the answer to one of the problems simplified to secxtanx. I thought of you and laughed quietly to myself.

That's better than...uh...I forgot who!!! Biggles???  Someone on IRC who kept thinking secxtanx even when it wasn't the answer because of me!

I've never had a problem with Asian drivers before. I've heard the stereotype and the attending jokes, but I'd never actually seen a real example of it - until the other day when I had a guy decide to attempt an impromptu kamikaze run on the side of my car. It was five o'clock traffic, I was trying to make a turn onto the main artery out of the city after I was derailed from my shortcut by an unfortunate road closure/detour. A nice motorist helped me out by staying put to open up a slot for me before a red light put all motion in the lane to a halt. No oncoming traffic to worry about for the moment, I start to make my turn, which meant I had to cross the oncoming lane and a turning lane to get into the 5 o'clock queue. All of a sudden I have to stand up on my brakes to avoid a car. Apparently, the guy was in a hurry and got pissed that the other driver was letting me in, so he'd jerked into the turn lane and floored it to try and cut me off. Well, by now I had oncoming traffic cresting a not so distant hill, and a roadblock dead ahead of me. It wasn't bad enough he tried to squeeze into my slot, when I had to jam on the brakes, he decided to do the same - and just fucking sat there. With a muttered "fuck this" I threw it in reverse, gave myself enough room to swing around behind him so I could get into the pocket that the other guy had held open for me, but that the aggro driver had overshot by almost half a length in his rush of road rage. I got into my lane as it started moving again and tried to give the guy an out,  sitting there as the cars ahead of me got underway, but he just wouldn't budge so I gave up on him and drove on.

That wasn't the worst part for him though. Either because they saw that the guy had acted like a total dick, or because they were just in a hurry to get home, the whole line of traffic froze him out and left his car marooned in the relative safety of the turn lane, his right blinker pitifully conveying his urge to just get back in the lane he started from as lines of vehicles filed past in both directions.

ahaha

Ahaha how did I miss this post. Methods used against asian driver: catching their leg and flipping them kamikaze jackie chan style

I don't want to push that stereotype even further and also look like an ignorant ass but the lady that ran into the back of my challenger at a road construction stop WAS also asian...

as well as the passenger and I think her car too....

Sarah McLachlan, Godspeed You! Black Emperor in March  and Mogwai in April f yes.

terrible dok, terrible

you're dumb

they do reroute but so do the pirates. you have to pass through the malaka straits to get to singapore and there are some there, they got navy patrols and foreign coastguard patrols but attacks still happen. They keep telling me that the company has good intel and we're going way out of the way to avoid them and there are alot of navel vessels in the straits ect ect ect.  Whatever dude I hope so but I'm not betting my fucking life on it.

Like I said nothing will probably happen but if it does and they're ambitious enough we're prolly fucked because the leadership here is stupid as fuck. For instance yesterday I spent my afternoon tieing fire hoses to handrails as a deterrant. Thats not going to deter shit because the wind breaks the pressure from the hoses and any idiot can see no one is manning them.

a) WIP's posts are hilariously melodramatic
b) they mostly sound like him trying to get people to cry to him to not shut it down
c) lol he said that he doesn't have the LUXURY of doing things like JOINING THE NAVY because he's so busy running this site

I do not have any ill will towards RMN itself but I do think WIP is a terrible mess so it has been interesting to watch this going down.

Also RMN isn't our competition.  Our sites don't do the same thing at all.

Also RMN isn't our competition.  Our sites don't do the same thing at all.

what do we do anyway? i don't even know anymore. we are as much like rmn as we are webmd.com

at this point we should really seriously putting together an ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME so we can finally compete with our archrival webmd.com

We hang out.

We hang out and we eat salt.  I am not sure how we're seen as RMN's rivals.  But to be honest they seem to base their view of us on like....2005 GW so

pokemon white is soooooooooooo cool!

If I wasn't afraid of it being sold out I'd cancel my Amazon order and buy it in stores. It sucks that it comes out on Sunday so mine won't be in until Tuesday. I got the last copy of HeartGold the day it came out and I can't be that lucky every time.
