At work today a two pounded me on the shoulder with a toy crocodile and told me 'There's a crocodile on your shoulder!" repeatedly. After various 'oh no's, and 'shoo crocdiles', I answered him with 'There's a monkey in my pocket and it's stealing all my change!'. All I got was a blank look *sigh*
Were it only that this was the first time there's been gender confusion around here. Giant Tope, coolsome (back when he was sailorcuteness), the list goes on.
After spending two hours trying record audio from my PC, I found out that the feature was disabled of my chipset by the manufacture last year in a driver update, and in all the drivers since. Nuts. I've been forced to use "virtual sound card" software, which gets the job done, but the free version of the ones i've tried insert a static noise every minute or so. I can live with it, but it's annoying that DRM has stopped me from using my computer to its full potential.
Nah, its kinda pointless talking about relationships.
If I ever was in one, I'd keep it as simple as possible, (like I keep my friendships).
(Do I like this person? Is this person nice to me? Am I nice to them? Am I able to keep in contact with them?)
In fact, I secretly hate all those girls I see at uni talking about their lovelives, (i.e. 90% of all women! XD).
It just makes me think, "isn't there anything more interesting you can talk about. Theres a lot out there, politics, movies, television (heck I'd rather hear about Soaps!), technology, philosophy, science. ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHICH GUY IS HOT, AND WHO YOU HAD IT OFF WITH RECENTLY!! >:X".
Just received an e-mail from HMV saying that they cancelled my order, as they under priced it on their site. Great.
Done that to me before.
Despite all that money HMV make, they still are tightwads, not honouring any mistakes they make.
Heck I bought Civilisation V for about £3.50 or something from this small site, and they still honoured it.
If that happened at Tesco's or GAME, I'm sure that even they would honour a price mistake, (and then fix it).
EDIT: I mean they could at least give you a coupon or something for the inconvenience, but NO!
They just send you a generic email, telling you they cancelled it (hiding behind some legal obligation that, though technically ok, is just mean spirited for a company thats supposed to be one of the best in its area...).
I did actually push when it happened to me, but I pretty much got the same message, (is a little coupon for £1 or 2 or 10% off really going to hurt in the end? I'd argue its good customer relations).

It sucks. I'm thought from a legal standpoint they have to sell it at the price advertised, (thats the case in shops anyway), but the e-mail is full of legal jargon that apparently puts them in the right because they hadn't taken any money yet (although how that works I have no idea. If I went to a shop and something was mispriced, i'd still be entitled to the object at that price regardless of whether I had forked over any money.) Well, it's their loss I suppose. Literally everything is cheaper elsewhere, so I doubt i'll be shopping there again in future. I mean, the prices instore are laughable (£40 for a reduced boxset, thats £15 on amazon? No thanks.). It's really no wonder they are struggling financially.
He said the GOOD ones. Geez, isn't the implication obvious?
Dude, you do realize women hold grudges right? I'm speaking as a single woman who greatly enjoys ambushing people I hold grudges against with revenge when they least expect it. So, yeah. you're on my list. Enjoy trying to sleep at night.

Lisa: But I'm so angry.
Marge: You're a woman. You can hold on to it forever.

LOL, very, very true! Estrogen must be like a capacitor for rage or something.

I've just realised that all this time i've been reading your username as "MrGrant"...
I dunno.. I don't really hold grudges all that well. I might get mad and pouty at a person, but if they're past what made me mad and pouty, I usually just act like things are back to where things were.
If I ever was in one, I'd keep it as simple as possible
It's so easy to say that. Things easily get complicated fast.
Oh yeah, and thanks Puzzlebox for the offer. Now that it's morning and I feel a lot better, I don't really need to vent, but we should talk sometime on Skype again. That's always fun.
I'm not very good at holding grudges. If I do get a grudge against someone then it will usually last the day before I think 'What's the point?' and get back to normal. It's not like a grudge benefits anyone anyway.
I don't think it was a Super Effective comic, actually. I thought it might be Eegra, but I can't find it there either. Oh well, at this point, actually dredging it up would just lead to "Huh... I remember this being funnier."
I'm determined to deliver lulz though, so even though this isn't a comic per se, it's funny as all hell: "Dog".
This is pretty much how I live my life, even outside the interwob. Except I jsut say nothing instead of typing obv
Also, i'll use 'zounds' if you start calling people 'squire'. Everyone's a winner!!
Same here. If I posted half of what I typed, my post count would probably be doubled. I never even meant to post that brain dump, but I was tired and I did it reflexively. Ah well.
A woman who doesn't hold a grudge is an exception, however I don't believe such a woman exists, so some of you are big fat liars. Hey, something else all women do. Lie. I know this because I've never seen one woman in comics or movies or books not lie or manipulate someone to their advantage. Know how I know not all men do this too? Cause Superman and I never lie.

So absolutely no thought was put into this?
And you have a point, Avistew. By your logic and my not-logic, Puzzlebox will count by the weekend and she won't again by Tuesday.
I should probably point this out.
... still single here.
Not that I'm actively looking at the moment either. Too much trouble as far as I'm concerned.
And... hilarity ensues starting... no, not yet, just a little more...
Now.

What did you just watch?

We really need a General Gender Thread. I've got most of you all down, but every once in awhile, I still have a "wait, really?" moment.
I'd make it myself, but my threads have a tendency to die out early.
I've just realised that all this time i've been reading your username as "MrGrant"...
All the gender confusion here reminds me of this comic...
I've seen that comic a hundred times by now, and it still gets me. Love it.
That's the first time I've seen that comic. I doubt I'll be able to play any more of my Soulsilver without breaking into laughter now!

ETA: I'm sure there was a page that had even more of these, (and even more offensive ones...) but I can't find it, boooooo.

*write long insightful post*

*delete whole post and post nothing*

That's not it, but I like that one too.

I just wish I could hack my game and give it Explosion.
Imagine this scene:
"Doduo used Explosion"
Opponent: "WHAAATT!!???! Doduo can't use Explosion, thats against the rules!"
Me: "Screw the rules! I have green feathers!"

And "deal" on the squire thing.
