YOU'RE GONNA DIE, CLOWN!
w00t!
On the upside, I've been feeling really good this afternoon. Almost happy, even.
Oh, and zer0, remeber how we were trying to figure out where this quote comes from? Adam Sandler, Happy Gilmore.
The quote is from the Movie, "Happy Gilmore" where Adam Sandler is at the miniature golfing place learning how to put. One of the obstacles is a plastic clown whose mouth blocks the hole and the clown is laughing at Happy because he keeps missing the shot. So Happy finally explodes and hits the clown with his golf club, screaming, "You're gonna die clown!"
"You think that's funny, I don't hear you laughing now!!"
Can you smell what the
wow. So I'm driving to work, minding my own business, and I get onto southbound northwestern highway from telegraph, going towards my work. I just get up to highway speed in medium traffic when all a sudden out of nowhere a bunch of white 2x4s are all over the freeway in the left and center lanes. I'm in the left lane, going "fuck, there's no way I can swerve to avoid these", so I just decided to hold the wheel straight and go for it (if I blew a tire, I wanted to be going straight, rather than careening towards traffic, or the stalled vehicle in the breakdown lane).
a bunch of noise, then shit flying everywhere behind me, and a hell of a bumpy ride.
I survived. My car is okay. I don't get it. That should have blown my tires to bits, and it would have if I didn't get the damaged ones I had been driving on for months replaced the other day. At worst, I know I snapped a few that were already damaged by the fall from whereever they came from, and they should have damaged something under the car. Everything was okay.
Anyway, I called 911 and reported all the crap all over the highway. Hopefully they can get it cleaned up before someone with bad tires hits it or something.
I finally dumped the pictures for the last 2 months off my camera. The time and date stamps are messed up, and all the "p101xxx" pictures were taken in the last week or so, everything else was taken on the month and day in the file name.

Some interesting photos I have selected (executive summary of about 50 or so photographs):
This is my favorite demented cook,

Should I stay or should i go now? : http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p1010098.jpg
If I stay there will be trouble: http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p1010101.jpg

And in the clearing, we spotted a telco farm: http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p7070054.jpg
The things on the back of this truck are tires.. They really are almost as big as a passenger car: http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p7070061.jpg
Besides the beads, the previous residents used wires twisted together, and even scotch tape, to make the telephone connections in the apartment. This was prevalent in every jack in the apartment.: http://mainframe.timmins.net/~noweb4u/july-02-photos/p7090070.jpg
It just doesn't stop
This morning I have:
– waited over an hour on hold with "the new HP" to get warranty replacement parts for a proliant at work
+ the parts are coming. I love how they are pretty no-nonsense about everything. The request took maybe 5-7 minutes once they answered
+ changed my address with nextel
+ hopefully I will have my phone fixed under warranty (I somehow, in some bizarre way, managed to break the antenna on the i700 plus.)
– I called Ameritech to shut off my ISDN service, and forgot the billing number. Now I have to wait until I go home…
+ I celebrate as I write this message that somehow, Ameritech listed my billing number in the phone book, rather than either of the bearer channels that can actually recieve telephone calls.
+ Just disconnected the ISDN service. w00t. No more billing to that, and the referral is to my cell phone, if they configured the referral right 😉
+- I can get the i700 cell phone fixed, I have to either go to a service center, or they'll pick it up and fix and return it, but that takes 2 days.
Sorry if that all sounded a bit incoherent, it was a running log.
Now for a funny chat session on yahoo. Some chick randomly messaged me:
[08:11] hastizie21: hi…. 🙂 you there?
[08:11] rabid_tiger: depends. who is this?
[08:12] hastizie21: i have a few pics on my site.. im not ugly.. http://www.holeinmypants.com/elisabeth/ dont you wanna chat???
[08:12] rabid_tiger: no. not really.
😉
I can't wait until the 12pm-8pm "maintainance window" occurs. I'm tired.
