  1. Sad because I lost 6,340 Experience Points. I'm scared to bring this up with my girlfriend... She might leave me now, and take the cat with her. I'm nothing without those points.:givemebeer:

    I wouldn't worry too much...Given all that she has managed to look past so far--This is nothing...:cheers:

  2. LOL @ all you pansies that need guns for home protection...

    If someone comes into my home with malicious intent, I will first demoralize them by showing them the size of my cock, then punch them and their gun.

    Then I will let my dog have his way with them.

    Seriously, though...First line of defense is a Wife with a 12-guage.

    (...And people think I'm mean...!?!)

  3. Vet technician: Did you remember to bring a fecal sample?

    Me: Yes, (hands-over the bag)...Still confused as to why I need to bring this...

    Vet tech: So we can examine it to see if your dog has parasites.

    Me: (Long pause, blank stare)...Oh, you wanted the dog's droppings?!

    Vet tech: (Look of horror)!! :eek:

    Me: Ha! Just kidding. :D

  4. …Interestingly enough (or not so much) also known as a Sabot, from whence the words saboteur and sabotage are derived, although the exact etymological evolution is debatable:

    sabotage (n.)

    1910, from Fr. sabotage, from saboter "to sabotage, bungle," lit. "walk noisily," from sabot "wooden shoe" (13c.), altered (by association with O.Fr. bot "boot") from M.Fr. savate "old shoe," from an unidentified source that also produced similar words in O.Prov., Port., Sp., It., Arabic and Basque. In Fr., the sense of "deliberately and maliciously destroying property" originally was in ref. to labor disputes, but the oft-repeated story that the modern meaning derives from strikers' supposed tactic of throwing old shoes into machinery is not supported by the etymology. Likely it was not meant as a literal image; the word was used in Fr. in a variety of "bungling" senses, such as "to play a piece of music badly." The verb is first attested 1918 in Eng., from the noun. Saboteur is 1921, a borrowing from Fr.

  5. What was the word on the knee?

    Dunno yet...Seeing as how it only took me three months of hobbling before deciding to see a Dr., I'm not sure how long it'll take me to actually get to one.

    Honestly, I am now in more of a hurry to get this thing fixed. Gave it a good twist on a wet floor this morning and have been rough shape ever since. Waiting to get a call back from the Wife's Dr...
