Thursday Morning Other Stuff (7-3-08)

07:50 AM - July 3, 2008 by Steve_OS

Links interest you? Tell us about it. Not bad yesterday w/ 35 comments posted. Let's break that record today.

Riding into work today, this bitch...yeah, I said it, this BITCH is riding my rear tire for a few miles. I finally looked back and flung my arm up, not gonna do both hands, sorry...not that brave yet. Anyways, she was just in la-la land, had no idea, like I didn't exist. The road finally split in 2 lanes and I moved over, she came up right beside me and I pulled the clutch and blasted my exhaust, it's pretty damn loud at 10K RPM, and it scared the **** out of her, it was f'ing hilarious.

Well, we didn't have time yesterday to check out any cars for the wifee, but this evening she says, we'll be out for a while.

Damn fruitflies all over my bananas. They really piss me off. I see like 2 or 3 of them a day. I setup some crazy trap for them last night and it caught a few of them. I need to find the source and put an end to this.

After capturing a couple of videos just the other day, I can't capture doo-doo w/ the card anymore. Three more hours wasted on trying to capture videos for the site. I'm about ready to give up...

What's up with you?

QOTD: Got any funny stories while driving?

Happy Birthday to the following OS'ers!

Cant wait for Rock Band 2, fun game to play with wife.

The Friends movie might as well be titled "The One Where We ALl Just Wanted Money So We Made A Movie"

QOTD: No real funny stories, not that other people havent experienced im sure

# 2 JIMIHEMMY @ 07/03/08 08:23 AM

Nothing for QOTD...none of mine are funny, just can't stand drivers who can't drive (at least by my standards)...sometimes you wonder how people got their license.

Fruitflies...the few times we had them, the source was potatoes. Do you have any? Maybe hidden away in a cupboard that you forgot were there? Bad potatoes will cause them....

I think you and I are local (DC area), if you still need help with your capture card, drop me a PM...I may be able to help.

If that is really the Rock Band 2 tracklist, I will be in heaven. ALICE IN CHAINS!!!! Plus a bunch of other good stuff!

Waiting at home for the cab to pick us up to go to the airport. I'll try to check in from Germany. Hope I don't miss anything exciting on the boards in the next 2 1/2 weeks.

QOTD: My wife and her friends were driving down to Cincinnati one time and saw a guy pleasuring himself while driving. When he noticed that they saw him, he smiled at them.

Cool, I will be toying w/ the card over the 3 day weekend. I'll let you know if I'm ready to throw it out the window.

Enjoy your vacation bro, hope you don't run into the guy from Cincinnatti.

Anyone interested in a "Friends" movie? If they get all the actors/actresses back, I'd be interested. Otherwise, I doubt I'd see it.

# 7 BlyGilmore @ 07/03/08 10:34 AM

so yesterday we had titties and today we have bitch and f'ing? say it isn't so steve. say it isn't so!

no really funny car stories. I will say though if I had a nickel for every time I almost got killed in an automobile, i'd have a shibbyload of nickels.

QOTD: was driving to cleveland with a friend a few years back when these two douche bags were flying up behind us weaving in and out of traffic. they were using the emergency lanes on both sides and must have been doing near 100. about five miles down the road, after they had been long gone, we came across the car on the side of the road with another car it had hit. out of the other car comes this 6'5" 300 lb black guy just pissed like you can't believe. those kids refused to get out of the car until the cops arrived. we just pulled off to the side and waited .... it was awesome.

# 9 Wasted Penguins @ 07/03/08 10:58 AM

Funny stuff guys.

QOTD: None that are PG!

# 10 davin @ 07/03/08 11:00 AM

QOTD: I don't really have funny driving stories, but plenty of "that guy is a terrible driver who almost killed me" stories.

I hate flies in general. I was sick years back with something that would basically make me almost fall over anytime I stood up (it messed with my sense of balance) so I was stuck laying on the couch by doctor's orders. There was this stupid fly that would keep flying right by my ear and I wasn't able to kill it. For two days it kept this up, I couldn't sleep.

Friends movie: I liked the show, but no, no movie for me. I think those things usually kind of suck and it wouldn't be any sort of recontinuation of the story or anything, it would be like an hour of them all meeting again and then just awkwardness. Maybe this is just my experience with friends that have moved away, but the longer you are apart the more awkward a reunion is. You really start to realize how quickly things change and you still have all the old jokes and all the old stories to share with eachother, but people change.

Surprised we're not seeing the iPhone listed on the Gadgets you should grab for 08.

QOTD: none for me

Ha! Exact same thing happened to my roommate & I years ago. We couldn't deduce what was attracting them for a month or two. Finally we cleaned out the entire pantry only to find a bag of potatoes so rotten that they could have been a prop in a science fiction movie...

For QOTD, my friend told me a few days ago that when he was doing his daily hour commute, he reached for the Gatorade bottle in his center console for a quick thirst-quenching. Problem is, he chews (Skoal Citrus) like a MFer when he drives and it was his week-long spitter. Needless to say he no choice but to pull over and dry-heave on the side of the road for a few minutes...

Last weekend I was driving with my date and the exit we wanted was closed due to construction. It had the big traffic barrels blocking off that lane, etc. As we neared the exit I said "F--- it, I'm going for it!" and jerked the wheel right a bit as if I was going to plow through the barrels and take the exit anyways. She grabbed for the handle on the door so fast, but after that initial shock she was wondering if we could have made it...

QOTD: When I was a Freshman in High School a close friend of mine, that also lived near me was a Senior, so he took me to school. We had many stories, here is the funniest.
One time we were a little late driving to school, so we're hauling and I guess we sorta cut some guy off. Well the funny thing is he is following us all the way to the school, whenever we park he starts chewing us out. It was hilarious.
Another one I remember was at the same merging of lanes that we cut some guy off on some lady that was just let merge in wouldn't let us merge in. She was accelerating and all so we couldn't. There's a freakin' drop off at the end of the lane, so we had to merge over. We end up stopping about 5 feet before going off into it just so we could get in. She was a bitch.

that'll teach 'em.

# 16 Behindshadows @ 07/03/08 01:47 PM

QOTD - No stories, I just hate slow people....

Steve I'll PM you the solution to your video capturing...

Your videos on OS should be sick once you use this puppy....up to 1080i recording! Then you can use 1080p or Divx video converter to boost to 1080p. Full HD Progressive.

# 17 Wasted Penguins @ 07/03/08 02:02 PM

Just posting again to help you out Steve!

LOL, probably not legal! Sorry Dan.

# 18 bigwill33 @ 07/03/08 02:23 PM

Gees Steve never heard you go off like this haha.

As for me, well my buddy and I got a ps3 yesterday, had to step it up from hearing all the great talk about The Show on here. Figures the day we get it is the big firmware debacle, hopefully it all works out. That is a crapload of money to drop for a system, especially when I already have a 360. On the brightside I can cover ps3 games now for the site as well.

QOTD: Well at the time it wasn't very funny but I can laugh about it now. It was the middle of winter and the roads were all slick with ice. So my family and I were picking up my aunt and uncle from the airport and as we were leaving some guy in a truck was driving down the wrong lane headed straight toward us. Well we all started screaming like crazy as my father had enough wits to make a sudden turn. Needless to say that was freaky but it was pretty funny how we all yelled for our lives!

Oh and I had a strange sight while I was in NY. We were driving to Long Island and right at the side of the freeway was a car totally in flames. It was so hot that you could feel the heat of the flames inside the car we were in.
