If you had to choose between...

SackAttack · 10-06-2004, 03:14 PM

Taking 5 minutes to order tickets to an event, and being late enough to get locked out of a class as a result, or going to class on time and hoping the tickets would still be available an hour later, which way would you go?

SirFozzie · 10-06-2004, 03:14 PM

Depends on what the tickets were for

rkmsuf · 10-06-2004, 03:15 PM

Depends on the event. If it's the Carrott Top - Reign of Orange Fury show I may opt for class.

SackAttack · 10-06-2004, 03:15 PM

Assume it's tickets to something significant enough to you that you're even debating it in the first place.

Obviously if it's something crummy you aren't going to even waste time thinking about it, right?

rkmsuf · 10-06-2004, 03:16 PM

Get a friend dude.

gottimd · 10-06-2004, 03:17 PM

What about the class? I guess it would depend, could I be late, or if I was late one more time, I would be kicked out of the college I am paying for, Sodomized by the professor, etc.

Why not have someone wait in line for you?

Classes are every week. Concerts are much less frequent. Get the tix and miss class.

SackAttack · 10-06-2004, 03:19 PM

It's not a 'wait in line' situation.

It's a matter of, you can order them, boom, right that second, but it'd take about 5 minutes to process between finding your wallet, digging out the card, placing the order, and then boogeying out the door to try and make it to class on time.

So you have a choice. You can definitely have the tickets, right that second, or you can make it to class on time. There is no "phone a friend" option here.

SirFozzie · 10-06-2004, 03:19 PM

If it's for say, playoff tickets, then yeah, I'd hold out.

Or you could post your credit card information on an internet forum and ask someone else to buy them for you.

Never mind.

rkmsuf · 10-06-2004, 03:20 PM

why can't someone log on or call in somewhere in this country and help a brother out?

SackAttack · 10-06-2004, 03:21 PM

Well, no. It's locked out of class for the one day. However, anything that happens that day cannot be made up, and the midterm takes place on a mystery day this week.

gottimd · 10-06-2004, 03:22 PM

I'm sure you could buy them online through ticket master or something.....

Rkmsuf: Hummus.

Because by the time I could give a person unfamiliar with the website directions on how to place the order, it would have been 5 minutes anyway, and I might as well do it myself

Then there's no decision. Go to class and hope they're still there.

How so, you could've given directions the night before and still go to class. Or on the way to the class, tell them how to do it over your phone. Instructing them for 5 minutes is better than waiting in line and missing class.

They lock the door when class starts???

Nobody can ever be 5 minutes late to class?

Is Tom Coughlin the prof?

Buzzbee · 10-06-2004, 03:24 PM

Sack, you're five minutes have passed. You have no tickets, AND you are late for class.

So we are talking right now? If so you are wasting time.

Blackadar · 10-06-2004, 03:24 PM

Get the tickets, get some fake blood, cover the leg your jeans with it and then limp into class saying you got struck by a passing bike.

rkmsuf · 10-06-2004, 03:25 PM

Just tell the professor a dog ate your penis. Never fails.

Yeah, but he'd have to order the fake blood off the internet. Hmmm...should he order the fake blood or go to class. Decisions decisions.

Heh. No. Journalism 100.

I'm *back* from class already, which should tell you how *I* chose. I wanted to know what YOU guys would have done.

As luck would have it, tickets popped up again, I rushed to buy one...and FireFox froze.

And now the tickets are gone.

I want to cry.

rkmsuf · 10-06-2004, 03:32 PM

Don't worry. Michael Bolton will be back.

SackAttack · 10-06-2004, 03:33 PM

WSUCougar · 10-06-2004, 03:34 PM

That's Michael Bolton's whole catalog, not SirFozzie's.

They weren't available the night before. I didn't expect them to be available today, for that matter. It was a lightning-in-a-bottle thing.

Everyone always picks on Microsoft, but has Microsoft ever cost you tickets you were considering skipping a class for?

That's true unless you come correct with some fake reconstruction photos.

"Mr. Professor, it's the darnest thing. My dog ate my penis again."

WSUCougar · 10-06-2004, 03:39 PM

I dunno about you guys, but I think Quik's use of the word "quiver" there was magnificent.

Thanks, Quik. I needed the laugh.

Yes, FireFox froze. IE has never cost me tickets, because I never had a credit card until well after I switched to FF. In other words, it wasn't for lack of ability, it was for lack of opportunity.

Bonegavel · 10-06-2004, 03:43 PM

Lying about penis mutilation is bad luck. Well, at least I wouldn't want to find out it was.
