From Vunet on the Grand Theft Auto Stabbing:
The storm over a stabbing outside a Croydon games store that was selling Grand Theft Auto may turn out to be a media panic.
Early reports suggested a 23-year-old man was stabbed by a hooded man waiting with 100 others in line outside Gamestation store in Croydon, which began selling the new grand Theft Auto game at midnight.
But it has since emerged that the stabbing did not take place outside the store and had nothing to do with the people queuing for the popular game.
“The victim had categorically not pre-ordered the game – and GameStation is confident that he was not a GameStation customer; neither was he a part of the queue outside the Croydon store,” a source told the Games Radar blog.
The source also said that the stabbing did not occur outside the store, but a quarter of a mile away outside East Croydon station.

I’m not interested in Hillary’s “performance” on O’Reilly. I’m interested in her policies. That’s all that matters with these people once they’re in. She’s a Leftist, a socialist. No way I’d vote for her over McCain.
There is one interesting thing about her “performance”. It was the reminder that the real Hillary Clinton either doesn’t exist or is carefully hidden. At the end of the interview, during the last minutes, she began to drop the “g”’s from words that ended in them. All of a sudden everything was “workin’”, “doin’”, “lyin’”, whatever…because she wanted to sound blue collar street-fighter, average Joe - like she figures O’Reilly and his audience are - JUST like she always adopts the dialect of whatever audience she’s speaking to. Remember those speeches to black audiences where she started sounding like the maid in “Gone With The Wind”? She did the same shit in Texas, she does it wherever she goes.
Such an open display of a willingness to be phony is not a good message to send when you’re running for President.

“At the time, Elisabeth Fritzl had been locked in the windowless cellar of her parents’ house for 10 years, without her mother’s knowledge.
Faking his daughter’s voice, Josef Fritzl called his wife and asked her to look after Elisabeth’s baby who had been left on the doorstep.

Boris Johnson, the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London, votes in Islington
“Red” Ken Livingstone, the Leftist candidate and incumbent mayor, voted in Cricklewood, north London
“Londoners were today thought to be turning out in their biggest numbers ever for a mayoral election, as the battle between Ken Livingstone and his maverick rival Boris Johnson went right to the wire.
Early projections put voter turnout as touching the 50 per cent mark - far higher than the 37 per cent and 35 per cent turnouts in 2004 and 2000 - amid indications that the closeness of the conflict between two of British politics’ most colourful characters has caught the public’s imagination.”

May 1st, 2008 at 5:18 amI liked the way that guy gave back that slammed lap-top to his colleague.
I’ve never gone any further then putting salt in the coffee of a turd.
Oh no, now I’m lying
I played a very nasty one on an extremely arrogant commanding officer which included coffee, a remote-controled race-car and me hidding in the mens-room.

Okay … I saw the trailer for Ironman back when I was out to see “I Am Legend” …
As I have stated, I am a semi- Robert Downey Jr. fan (Pat!) … and the trailer looked pretty damn good … but don’t they all?
Anyhow, reviews are starting to come in and it seems to be not bad at all …
Meanwhile, the local “rock” radio station I run as background noise has been playing that damn “I Am Iron Man” Ozzie song atleast once a shift … and I am soooo sick of it!
May 1st, 2008 at 6:05 amHey, I have not seen that same trailer lately, the one where he toasts the hajjis. Audi must have paid for the latest clips that have been shown.
May 1st, 2008 at 6:25 amThe best way to watch Megyn Kelly is with closed caption on, but then that blocks the ability to see how high her skirt is riding up…
May 1st, 2008 at 6:27 am@Jeanet:
Details, please.
I’ve pulled a few good pranks in my time, usually on people who deserved it. In my crew, I tended to be the one to make the crank calls and stuff, because I can sound convincing and not burst out laughing. The other guys will be biting their fingers as I’m spouting utter bullshit with a straight face.
My reputation gives me some more options. “Hey, do you know where I can get a deal on ammonium nitrate?” will often go right over people’s heads, but “I wonder if Ryder or U-Haul is having any specials…” usually gets the desired effect.
And other people have invoked my name in pranks. “Hey, I saw ttb crawl out from under your car. Do me a favor, let me know before you start your car…”
“Hi, this is the phone company. We’re doing some work on your line. The phone will ring a lot for a while, but please don’t pick it up, or I’ll get electrocuted.”
Start calling again and again, and when the moron picks up, “Arrgh!”
Note: That only works on idiots.
If you’re of a more sadistic bent, call saying you’re a doctor at a local clinic, and that they should go to get tested for STDs. Say that someone who doesn’t want their name known gave you a list of people they may have infected. If you’re feeling really evil, call their significant other. Even I only do this to people who cost me money.

May 1st, 2008 at 7:05 amDude, why do they ALWAYS take it out on the monitor?
May 1st, 2008 at 7:08 amOh yeah … looks real good.
“This is NOT the worse thing you’ve caught me doing …” LMFAO!
The monitor has become the 21st Century “whipping boy” face for our high-speed-internet frustrations of life … Heh!
May 1st, 2008 at 7:38 am5:17 AM - What caught my eye w/the promotionals for the Hillary interview (still haven’t listened to a word of it except for the question about FOX News being fair to her posted on this site) was her appearance — Pretty in pink and got herself a more conservative ‘do’ going on. It’s all about the show….and for good reason. Evidently there are a whole bunch of non-independent-thinkers that buy into whatever horseshit someone is selling as long as the packaging is nice. Evidence? We’ve got a guy that surrounds himself with America-haters that has a more than decent shot at being Prez of the country he hates. WTF?!?
May 1st, 2008 at 8:56 am“This is NOT the worse thing you’ve caught me doing …”
i cracked up when i heard that line too. i could say that to a few people also
and for the monitor being the 21st century whipping boy.
its funny how my playstation 2 controller used to be my whipping boy. i would throw that damn thing across the room sometimes. but yeah many times i have been tempted to punch my monitor especially after reading the far left dickheads badmouth our military and that little homo yesterday. but i always stop myself somehow, it would take a little bit to get a new flat screen like i have now. and i have a pretty bad temper
May 1st, 2008 at 10:16 amThat reminds me of the time my dad got pissed at his computer at work and literally took it out back and drove over it in his Expedition.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:34 am“Reading” doesn’t make me feel that way …
But if/when the computer itself decides to get `tude with me … Yeah, then it’s just asking for “it” …

May 1st, 2008 at 10:47 amI’m nocturnal by nature, basically an insomniac when I’m not working nights, and am a redheaded Irishman with the temperament you’d expect. So, I go through alarm clocks like most people go through batteries.
I once had an old fashioned mechanical alarm clock, two bells on top with a hammer between them. Loud and annoying as Hell, which was the point. Within a week, I’d gotten my finger caught in it.
I’m sure there are still pieces of it embedded in the walls, floor, and ceiling of that room.
May 1st, 2008 at 10:57 amI’m guessing, drillanwr, your daughter(s) are nose-deep in exam preparation (as I am), and/or wrapping them up right now.
May 1st, 2008 at 12:08 pmThe good news, I was able to get exemption from my Modern East Asian History course, as my current average throws off the curve! Some of my others are take-home analytical assignments, involving about 10+ pages each. What’s going to be the real challenge, is my damned STATs for Social Sciences course, scheduled for 7:45am this Monday! Oh well, things will work out, as they always do.
Just my (middle) Kate is still in college.
She’s in the same boat as you with throwing off the grade curve in her chem. classes.
She is deep in finishing up too. Will move home for a couple weeks, and then back up to campus for a job in the bio-chem research lab (genetics).
Did I tell you she’s looking into the Navy for medical school? We’ve been talking to the recruiter of medical schooling, but Kate has one more yr. of pre-med to go.
Good luck with the rest of the exams, hun!
May 1st, 2008 at 12:57 pmTrust me… the best four years of my life were in college,
So… Drink lots of coffee (NOT RED BULL) coffee stays in the system longer. Don’t OVER STUDY!!! I fucked up on an exam because I got nervous an over studied…
And remember: when taking your exam, all of the Dollard heads are rooting for you…
Good luck buddy…

May 1st, 2008 at 1:34 pmYour famous! Everyone’s been talking about you recently…
There screaming, Yeh! Drill ANWR!
And I’m screaming: Wait, I know her!
Details?:
Ehm….classified.
A sergeant-major had that toy, standing on his desk. Knowing me, a child in a grown-up body, he didn’t flinch an eye when I asked if I could borrow it.
I knew the arrogant s.o.b. Commanding Officer was on his way to an important meeting at Staff, all dressed up, but had a hunch for coffee
I put the remote-controlled car on the floor in the corridor, exactly en-route for the tward, and took a hiding-place in the mens-room. With the mirrors placed in the (for me) right position, hiding in a stall with the door open just a bit, the position of the toy in mind.
He walked towards the door that would bring him outside, the cup filled with coffee still in his hand. Than I made the toy doing “an appearance” and twirl over the corridor-floor in front of his feet. He stumbled and the coffee splashed on his outfit. Right at the best space, full on his “jewels”.
Then, made the toy “drive” back into the mens-room, underneath the stall-door.
Because he was too busy cleaning up himself, he didn’t notice. But I did, having a good view in those mirrors. The most difficult things was to keep myself quite.
He walked into the first office he could find, being the one of the same sergeant-major I had borrow that thingy from. You could hear him screaming all the way down the corridor about what had happened and, of course, demanded an explanation. Getting none he left and by what I learned later, fined an official complaint at the Battalion Commanders office.
The moment I entered the office from the S.M. I saw he had difficulties keeping his act together, as did I. I handed him the toy and he put it in his back-pack with the words: ”I think this evidence needs to go underground for a certain amount of time”. We said our goodbyes and the matter didn’t came up until…….the next week with me arriving at the base again.
My “then” Battalion Commander paid me a visit without any words spoken about the matter, but asking me if I’d stepped up from putting salt in the coffee of arrogant S.O.B.-visitors to just break the legs of S.O.B.-visitors. That it became clear that arrogant Commanding Officers rather often had hot coffee being spilled at “the right place”. If not “by accident” (ahum……) by me, than by “something that made them stumble”. Of course, I played the “dumb blond female”. But My BC left with a big ;). He had already forgiven me for almost driving him off his socks with an army-bike and driving anything that needs a key to ignite.
Really I’m such a nice person and the nickname “most dangerous woman on base” really doesn’t do me any justice. I just jump in front of any army-vehicle any time I need a ride. And so far, every chauffeur used his brakes, being unable to refuse me getting a lift.
I just keep wondering why no one gives me keys anymore, why everybody starts to clean up his desk after I enter an office, how it is possible I can sit at the bar at base without ever paying anything and even a warm meal gets brought to me when I work late. You’d think they like me.

May 1st, 2008 at 1:35 pmI just sent you a message and the damn thing didn’t post!
Kate just called me from Kent …
She was just informed, because of her grades, as a junior she’s been given a $2000 grant (See: No need to pay back) for this ending semester … and another $2000 grant (…) for the Fall semester from Kent State University!!!!!
And she can re-apply for those grants in her senior year (I believe the Fall semester she’ll be finishing out her junior year … as she is actually supposed to be a soph., but due to credits/hours whatnot is considered a jr.)
BTW
She also gets paid for the summer research lab work … The research lab work she’s just finishing up from this semester counts as college credit.

May 1st, 2008 at 2:51 pmActually find gatorade, or the occasional vault to be all I need. Plus, can’t drink coffee with any sort of creamer, due to milk allergy.
That’s outstanding, no doubt due to hard work!
Heh, in my case, I should be a Junior (I entered VMI in Fall ‘05), but came down with a sinus condition (due to seasonal allergies) affecting my Eustachian Tube, which messed up my inner ear for a while. The dizzy spells made it almost impossible to drill effectively, so they recommended that I medically withdraw. That following summer, I took some courses at U of Richmond, before going on to Tech. Unfortunately, not all of the credits transferred, so I’m a sophomore when I should be a junior. Fortunately the AP credits I received back in HS did, so I’m not in too bad of shape. Will be working and taking some courses here at Tech this summer, so might still be able to graduate in Fall 2009. Kind of a complicated academic history!
Fortunately, I can still go through USMC OCS (as I’ve always planned to)!
May 1st, 2008 at 3:03 pmThe office clips were the best. I did throw an old Compaq 286 when they were the hottest things going. I did put some white lotion in a condom once and put it in someone’s desd drawer. Unfortunately I was not there to observe the reaction, but it totally ruined that a.h.’s day and got him checking over his shoulder for well over a month.
May 1st, 2008 at 3:17 pmHEH! … LOVE the (RSR) tag!!!
Yeah, Kate tested out of a thing or two her senior year of h.s. and got college credit.
Should the Navy give her a waiver for the 80-85% hearing loss in her right ear she would go the 5 week ODS after graduating Kent and before heading off to whatever medical school she gets accepted at.
When the Navy told her she needed at least a 24 on her M-CATS she said, “I was actually shooting for the 30s” … She was told with the medical waiver, the M-CATS score, and her current GPA staying at 4.0 she wouldn’t even have to interview with the board … she’d automatically be accepted. But knowing MY Kate, I have a feeling she might just inquire if she could face the board anyway … She loves the challenge …
She doesn’t take the M-CATS until around this time next year.
PS
I AM sorry.
I meant to address your situation, A.S.
You did great sticking with it. There is a reason things flow the way they do. You are on your own time clock. You will get to your goals in your time.
Damn proud of you!
