Like most people here would know that.

I recall him saying this here a couple of times.

He may not need it now, but what about after he graduates and becomes a construction worker? Then he'll really need a lunchbox, and if it's a hollowed-out GCN, that will make him the coolest guy on the site!

Okay, here's a very weird story:

Last night, at about 8PM, I was sitting in my living room watching TV. Suddenly, some guy outside starts shouting "HALLELUJAH!, HALLELUJAH!" He kept shouting it over and over for at least 5 minutes. Then finally he stopped.
But then, a few minutes later, someone in a nearby apartment (probably the same guy) turns up their stereo super loud. It was so loud the walls were shaking, and I could easily hear the song playing. It was a country song, and the lyrics were mostly "hallelujah" over and over. Finally, the song ended, and I thought I could have some peace and quiet. But a couple minutes later, they turn their stereo back up, and the same song plays again. After that it stopped for a minute, then they played some other country song. I was getting annoyed by now, so I pounded on the wall a couple times, hoping they would turn it down. But they didn't.
After several minutes, it finally stopped.

I'd yell at them for being inconsiderate morons and tell them there are other people living there.

Hehe, I'm not really the yelling type, and I'm not even sure which neighbor it was.

Put up a sign:

"To the idiot who was playing loud country music:

SHUT UP"

Haha, if they do it again, I just might have to do that. :P

I remembered another amusing story today! It's actually quite old, but I didn't think much of it until now.

ELEVATOR: CONTENTS UNDER IMAGINARY PRESSURE

In the Honors Hall, the elevator goes from the basement up to the fourth floor, but everything above the first floor requires you to swipe your ID card. Like most elevators, once you start going up, you have to reach the destination in order to go back down. I understand this fact very well, but for some reason it took this event in order for me to realize an important fact. I'll get to my realization in a moment.

I had just entered the elevator from the basement, having deposited a load of laundry in the dryer. Card swiped, I was ready to go back to the third floor, when I realized that I had planned to visit the vending machine! The door closed at that moment, and I almost panicked. Would I have to go all the way up the third floor, only to go back down?! And then came my glorious realization: I could press 1 without swiping my card! I was saved!

Similar to my accident at the "green bus stop," I started laughing maniacally, and loudly. I continued to laugh until the doors opened on the first floor, revealing a very concerned looking couple.

Yet again, my rare tendency to laugh maniacally under pressure (or, perhaps, when pressure is relieved suddenly) puts me in a strange light.

Heh heh, that was pretty funny.

I just recalled a story that I don't believe I've ever shared here, which is surprising considering how "amazing" it is.

So, my "friend" (I kind of don't want to be friends with him anymore), his friend, and I all go to Blockbuster to rent some games for the 360. We're looking for Halo 3, and we don't see any copies. So, I get commanded to go up front and ask if there are any copies left.

"Hi, do you have any copies of Halo 3 left?"

"Hang on, let me check."
...
"Ok, for what system?"

"Umm, 360?"

"Alright."

Seriously, what did she expect me to say, Dreamcast? It amazes me there are people that do not know what console Halo 3 is made for. And she was even a kind of young woman. Maybe I am overreacting a bit, but with the huge fanbase of Halo 3, it seems like a law that everyone would know what console it is for. Anyways, thankfully they did have a copy, and there was much rejoicing that night as we created the gametype "trogdor" and map "weeeeew."

That was the boringest story I've ever heard.

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #282 on:** January 18, 2008, 08:12:28 PM »

Seconded. Even young people can be out of the whole video gaming thing, Melee.

Uh yeah... that's why I get asked for Halo on PS2. Or Mario on PS2.
