    TV shows today you can get entire seasons for like $30!
    what show was it?

    I hear you on the cost though, with old TV shows you have to get it fast or wait until it goes in the discount bin.

      I climb out one of the upstairs windows to the small roof where the pipe is. I'm able to clear most of it out without too much trouble. A huge gust of wind hits me, I take a step going towards the window to get back into the house and I step right on a patch of ice. I slip, fall down face first and start sliding down the slanted roof. I have no clue how I stopped myself.

      I slowly manage to climb up my roof again and get inside the house. My heart felt like it was going to come out my chest. If I fell off I would've probably broken a bone or two. I got really lucky. I'm not trying something like that ever again.
      Got to be careful on roofs. I remember years ago a guy fell off a roof and landed on a post, impaling himself.

        I was just checking out all old shows I used to watch. Everything random from pokemon to digimon to friends to basically anything like that. Crazy to see that despite those shows(or just seasons of the show) happening so long ago, it's still treated the same(if not more) price wise as stuff today.

        Speaking of which....N64 on Amazon cheapest I saw was around $70! And there's games I have for it that's a fairly good price(in terms of what the seller is getting out of it).

        lol,I could prob have all my old video games on amazon and make back all the money that was spent on it(assuming people actually buy the stuff on amazon)

          Yes... I do. We have dogs and a cat so it is easier (and cheaper) to have someone house sit rather than board the dogs.

            My parents used to have my uncles do the drive by thing when they went camping and I was old enough to stay home. I'm not the "host a party" type so I don't know why they bothered. A few friends over to play ping pong, video games, or basketball was as far as I'd go (with some extra curriculars thrown in of course).

            Sometimes they'd even knock on the door and ask if the folks were around. I'm like, do you see the giant empty spot by the side of the house where the trailer usually sits? Cmon man

            edit: also I had to be careful because they'd intentionally come home a day early to try and catch me, they were sneaky

                Re: Off Topic 2014

                If I may vent about my stupidity for a moment:

                So last Thursday, I lost my keys. Looked everywhere for them and couldn't find them. I was reffing 5th and 6th grade basketball and thought I just set them down and someone grabbed them by mistake. I have no back-up keys (first mistake) so had to leave my car there. My car was parked perfectly legally... for the time I parked it there. It was in a bus lane, where it was legal to park, except for the obvious times, but having no keys, I have to leave it overnight and call the school in the morning. I do that, get it arranged to have keys made (which ran me $150) they say they won't have it towed, police come, tow it anyway and that runs me another $70 plus a $10 ticket (which I'm going to try to appeal, maybe not, not sure how much of a case I've got now.). So that was bad. Today I open my gym bag... and there are my damn keys. I looked every single place I could think of... except my damn gym bag. I amaze myself sometimes.

                  I know this has nothing to do with anything, but I always like seeing developers actually playing their games and interacting with the fans.

                  This is from the EverQuest Next Landmark alpha (which is basically Minecraft on 'roids.)

                  Rubies/Sapphires shared a color and a fan let the dev team know. The dev team got on it, and wrote them a Valentine's Day letter back.

                    None of the past few posts have had anything to do with one another. This is off topic, after all.

                      If I reffed 5th grade basketball I'd call every single reach-in foul and the games would take 6 hours and I would laugh at the parents.

                        See, but then you'd have to be there for 6 hours too... There's nothing I want to do more than to get out of there. Fortunately, outside of the last two minutes of each half, it's continuous clock.

                          Amen. I did this during high school for football, basketball and baseball. I reffed two games that were actually competitive and somewhat fun to be at. Baseball was either actually kinda fun or completely awful. Still wish the head ump let me throw the manager out during one baseball game.

                            I used to ref youth soccer and pretty much let them do whatever they wanted.

                            I'd yell at the coaches though

                              Damnit I just looked out my window and the "music war" neighbor was out there sitting on my car bumper! I went to grab my keys and push the "panic alarm" button or whatever it is to set it off but his ride came and picked him up like immediately after I saw him. What the ****? Who just goes and sits on another man's car. Not only that, but my bumper is kinda smashed from an accident last year (never took it to a body shop) and I don't want anyone sitting on there, let alone his stupid ***
