cabbitzillaThis showed up in my email today. The person it came from was well aware of the BS nature of this, but thought I'd get some small amusement out of it.
The sudden burst of machine-gun laughter it got from me nearly scared the piggies as badly as it scared me, so here it is:
Let's see.
My ACL surgery will happen in roughly 30 days time. The ... what the hell do you call it? oh, bother... the work order is going in with a '23 hour hold' stipulation on it for me post-op, so that the doctors can get an idea what the resulting pain levels are like. Dr Grosso's biggest concern seems to be that my current batch of pk's aren't going to be up to the task, and 'huddled on the floor retching and whimpering' isn't release material. Up in the air on that one. I've outlined my worries of hidden damages and excess strain on the other knee, all of which he agreed with as worrying. Again, it's an up in the air thing. He's going into the knee planning on a 'simple' ACL repair, but armed to the teeth with layers of backup plan in case he discovers BadThings(tm) there.
*shrugs*
My bear is trying hard to hook me into another RPG system... I'm hoping to have the wits to actually do some reading on it this weekend.
I've got the repair/replace pieces for Psychotron laid out; it's on the blocks for patching back together this weekend. Also on the blocks is cleaning my room, cleaning out the truck, and getting copies of the forms I'll need for retitling the truck in my name.
I'm looking forward to getting Psychotron up and operational again; I've been dealing with Guild Wars withdrawal, but playing without sound is dangerous for someone who doesn't see real well. It only took getting killed from behind four times to make THAT one abundantly clear. :p
Bleah. *crashes*
EDIT: Remember the 'good old days', when sudden circuit failure in a PC could fill a room with acrid smoke from charred circuitry? Well, here at CabbitCombusti... er... CabbitComputing, those days are still with us. In short? Psychotron's been shut down, repaired, and brought back up. The drivers for the never-before-used onboard sound chip installed flawlessly (and the results blew me out of my chair, having forgotten that I'd turned the bastard all the way up in my testing...), and it runs quite nicely once again. Given the volume of smoke that the Herc GT's breakout box belched into my room, my hopes of repairing it have dwindled to near nil.
PostScript: For those wondering where I've been, I've been running a sizable (and slow, dammit) torrent for a Doctor Who episode I'm missing... when combined with the UseNet file ravager I've been using in my quest for no-longer-available RPG manuals, my chat clients refuse to stay connected. I'm not dead, not by a long shot... there's a projected 1.3 day left-to-run for the torrent, at which point I'll be back. It's the -only- episode with Zoe in it that I'm missing, and I will have it, dammit. :p
And now I'm going to try and go to bed. Again.
The sudden burst of machine-gun laughter it got from me nearly scared the piggies as badly as it scared me, so here it is:
| Don't go to the bathroom on October 28th. CIA intelligence reports that a major plot is planned for that day. Anyone who takes a poop on the 28th will be bitten on the ass by an alligator. Reports indicate that organized groups of alligators are planning to rise up into unsuspecting American's toilet bowls and bite them when they are doing their dirty business. I usually don't send emails like this, but I got this information from a reliable source. It came from a friend of a friend whose cousin is dating this girl whose brother knows this guy whose wife knows this lady whose husband buys hotdogs from this guy who knows a shoeshine guy who shines the shoes of a mailroom worker who has a friend who's drug dealer who sells drugs to another mailroom worker who works in the CIA building. He apparently overheard two guys talking in the bathroom about alligators and came to the conclusion that we are going to be attacked. So it must be true. |

Date: 2005-06-28 04:20 am (UTC)Interesting. *facepalms* That's being used more and more often. I should probably get used to it. Is it MY fault that my fashion/music/video tastes are 20 years out of synch with my age? :p
Anyway, I've added you in return. Hi there. :)
