Another thread where a bunch of adults try to look cool over the internet at another adult's expense.

I left high school over 8 years ago, this is just obnoxious now.

Well, since we're adding in ex-girlfriend stories.

My city was deciding whether to build a shiny new stadium for our football (American) team. It ended up going to a public vote and it was kind of a big deal for us. My girlfriend and I were eating dinner with the news on the TV in the background, when...

TV Reporter: Currently, the vote is essentially a dead heat with 51% in favor and 49% against building the new stadium. With only 5% of the precincts reporting in at the moment, it's anyone's guess as to where this will end up.

Me: Wow, close one.
Girlfriend: How many percents are there?
Me: ... Huh?
Girlfriend: How many percents of precincts? Like when will they know when it's done?
Me: Oh, honey. Once all the precincts are in, that will be 100%.
Girlfriend: [Satisfied look] Oh, so there's 100 precincts. Cool.

Still to this day, the single physically hottest female I have ever dated.

It is good to have substance to one's existence.  But in the absence of substance, one can do much yet with style.

Was an electronics tech in the navy and reminds me of the 3am wake up call.

I walk over to the equipment and wave the operator over. You see the [OFF/ON] switch. Operator nods... You see it was in the o f f position.


Reminds me of a similar situation when I was an eltech in the AF.

Not teckie or even to the standard of the thread, but I would like to share anyways..

So last summer I contrived to get myself a puncture on my bicycle, walks down to the local cycle shop, an old boy, with whom I am friendly with, owns and runs the shop as he has done for a great many years. Conversation went something along these lines..

Moi "Have you such and such a size inner-tube in stock ?"
Very helpful shopkeeper "No sorry, all out at the moment but I will have them in come Monday"
Moi "That's torn it, was intending on going on a ride this evening"
Very helpful shopkeeper "Often the way, I have them in for months and months and nobody buys them, then all of a sudden I'm out of stock and every Tom **** and Harry wants one"
Moi "Yeah..sods law"
Very helpful shopkeeper (with a very smug grin) "I can sell you a new bike if you would like ?"
Moi (trying to be cool) "Yeah that's a good idea, How abouts you just sell me a puncture kit instead ?"
Very helpful shopkeeper (reaches under the counter and then passes me a rusty 6" nail) "You can have that one for a tenner(£10)"

walked home feeling ever not so cool :)

Okay. Here's mine. True story:

Seventh grade we have a six-foot five, two-hundred pound student named Chun. This being a rather violent school there was a tendency to ingratiate oneself to your rather large school mates thus hoping to prevent a sudden trip to the ER. One day a couple of my friends whispered to me in the hallway, "Go up and ask Chun how his sister's doing with her dancing lessons."

"Hmmm," I cleverly thought to myself. Feigning interest in a giant's family might be a decent way to get in good with the guy, so I walked up to him and said, "Hey, Chun. How's your sister doin' with her dancin' lessons?" He draws this ominous face, glowers down at me and says, "My sister's got polio." If there was ever a moment for uncontrolled bladder discharge, this was it.

My "friends", now rolling (literally) on the floor gagging with laughter, finally regain themselves long enough to inform me, "Chun doesn't have a sister." Chun slaps me on the back (for being such a good sport) slamming me into a closed locker door. I had a crease in my forehead from an airvent the rest of the day, but, somehow I felt lucky...like...I'd made a new friend!

The right to free speech doesn't automatically carry with it the right to be taken seriously.

Hmm. Silly peeps. Glad to give you a laugh though unintentionally. Big smile

The skill genuinely didn't increase the CPU once it was increased from lvl 3 to lvl 5. I think. Slight chance I may be mistaken in which case I apologise. Hehe.
