Jack Bauer had it easy....

..compared to my day today.

1, start off by leaving phone and watch at home.
2, get into work, have to deal with a user who gave me muchos grief yesterday for doing my job, nice start to morning.
3, my copy of the Xenosaga 2 OST cd arrived from the us only to discover it was a bootleg.
4, on the way home i get collared for a trainpass that expired 2 days ago, £20 quid fine and another £42 quid to renew it. (they check every odd month or when the stars are in the correct alignment)
5, Email from supplier saying gfx tablet wont be in till possibly next week.
6, OCUK have delayed my order for my new monitor again until Friday 2nd June 2006

sucks to be me today :-/

[Mingtea]

Centro where SERIOUSLY cracking down today.

They are all the time tbh, if you get off at New Street you have to have a valid ticket/Pass otherwise they rape you. (although employing staff to manualy check your ticket seems strange compared to you know, putting in gates?)

What GFX tab you go for? i'm on an intuos3

[Gunsmith]

yeah you will get raped silly at Newstreet during peak times but when coming back from jp class on the night the place is liek a grave, you gotta remember that I go from stechford and switch to another platform at Newstreet before heading onto university,

went intuos 3 A4 in the end, I hear they are nice to work with :)

... because you`d NEVER have anything to do with a bootlegged OST would you :D

So my day yesterday:
Up at 4AM (after 4 hours sleep)
Taxi isn't waiting for us to take us to airport (and nobody speaks English)
Arrive at the airport to be told I don't have travel orders
Locate travel orders to be told I need to pay $1500 in cash for my ticket.
5 hour flight on a cramped 40 year old DC8 with sausages and maple syrup for breakfast
Work for 9 hours
Told my preferred accomodation isn't available, moved into the cheapest stuff
5km run
****ty american food, 1 beer (miller lite)
Bed (after being awake 20 hours)

Think that beats leaving your watch at home and getting carded on the train...

[Afty]

You joined the US Marines?

[Boffykins]

No, EA

[Gunsmith]

No, EA

same ****, different label.

[Neon]

It does exactly what it says on the tin.

[Mingtea]

That wasn't a DC8...

How are your pheaton levels?

[Cabe]

you all had it easy, I had a day working for Jester. :p

[Wise Washu]

Mingtea, I think they are called Theatons.... either way a cracked up insane cult.

[Afty]

Thetans, or "body-thetans".

Can we get some T-Shirts made up that say "I flew to Earth in a DC-10 and all I got were these lousy Thetans" ?

lmao

[Wise Washu]

Very funny though I could sadly pick apart that joke.... lets just say I have had run ins with Scientologists and if I ever met one it would be really REALLY hard for me not to punch them in the face.

[Afty]

Of course you can, obviously it wasn't ACTUALLY a DC-10 it just LOOKED like one, but could fly between solar systems!

And of course, if I'd arrived here on one of them there "DC-10s" I wouldn't actually be alive to have a T-Shirt like that I'd actually BE a "body thetan" (at least in spirit or some such crap).

In fact, it's that very flaw in the logic that I thought made the slogan funny... many people who knew a "little" about scientology would find it funny because they would think they were "in" on an "in" joke... and the people who actually knew about Scientology would be able to laugh at THOSE people *and* the T-shirt.

Ah well... I spose I'll have to go for the backup plan which is to have
"I came to earth in a DC-10 and all I got was this lousy human host!"
Which is nowhere near as interesting, but perhaps a little closer to Scientology Scripture. And still has a nice little "in-joke".

And yes, I'm aware a tattoo would be better, but that's perhaps a little extreme :)

[TheDon]

Come to brum then :p walking down new street you have to fight your way past random people doing surveys, the accident helpline people who seem to think everyone has been injured by an accident at work, and then you hit the pack of scientologists. They try to lure you into their building with some crap about how you look stressed and they can do a free stress test and then once inside they make you hold onto some metal tube things and start talking crap about dianetics and how this amazing wonderful book can solve all your problems (priced at only 9.99!)

[Xilly]

lol, that happened to me, in the exact same spot you mentioned, in the exact same way. Except I just lied through my teeth about all the questions they asked.

[TimmyNoShoes]

I learned everything i know about scientology from South Park, even that is more than i wish to know.
The super adventure club however....

[Wise Washu]

It's a scary thing.... really... scary... Would still punch them and risk being done for assult though.
