Heheh... I get it now. Yeah, I did have a hard time with fox at one point. On occasion, I thought Eggman was saying "you little fucks" until I stopped to consider the context; I'm playing as a fox. Okay... then during Super Smash Bros. (any), when the announcer shouts "FOX!". That one always throws me for a loop.

You really stretch your ears to hear what you want to hear. =[
Also you'll probably enjoy reading about the linguistic origins of Fox.

Nah, I actually get pretty nervous and surprised. No stretching or imagination required. Maybe the old hamster wheel's got a few more spins in it than it needs.

"Hey, can I borrow your car?" "No." "Go? Okay!" *Snags keys, takes car*

You've got my personality nailed. That's exactly how it happens. Nevermind saying "what?" 50 times to get something right, I just roll with it. The funniest thing that's happened? Talking to an ex-girlfriend (when we were still together and all) and how she tells a long, elaborate story, and at the very end, asks me a question. You know what my response was? "Okay." X) Edit: Allow me to point out it wasn't the kind of question you wanted to say "okay." to. It was one of those "Don't you think that's sick?" "Isn't that terrible?" "Does that happen to you?" kinds of questions. Also: I wouldn't likely take anyone's car though. Oh boy, speaking of being an airhead... I once overpacked someone's grocery bags while working at the local pharmacy-grocery stores. What did I overpack? AN ALCOHOL BAG. I was lucky the lady was nice. The goods broke outside of the store though, so I couldn't do a dang thing about it; I was being watched, and I'd be the one to blame if our store was under-stocked. So she bought another thing of alcohol. =\ Too bad I can't legally charge half-price on alcohol. That poor lady.

Semi-crossposted from my LJ:
I never knew it would be more expensive to fly to Vancouver only! Just when I was bitching about the price for travelling the Seattle (with a connecting flight in Vancouver) being so expensive, I checked out flights going just to Vancouver for the exact same dates that I would be flying out and coming back and here is what I found out through Expedia.ca:
Toronto to Seattle via Vancouver: $605 CDN Toronto to Vancouver: $1074 CDN
WHAT. THE. FUCK.
To think that you're not even getting slammed with all those stupid transportation and security fees for travelling to the US!!!
Can someone explain this to me?

There's one that connects flight through Thunder Bay, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, AND Edmonton! ^O^; It's has a duration of 12hr 2min. I've never seen such insanity before. I guess it's good for folks that want to several airports on the way. :P I already bought my tickets a few days ago. They came in a bit under $600. And rocket, I already know about the Buffalo to Seattle route but I also already made a comment to wyrdwad a few posts back in regards to that.

Pfft! Good god, with the money Greyhound makes, I'm surprised they can't afford more comfortable lobby seats. Waiting 6 hours for a bus, sitting on a metal frame bench is everything but comfy. Infact, if you yourself don't have cushion for your own frames, (aka fat) you'll find quickly that these 6 hour layovers are a literal PAIN IN THE ASS.
Ugh... especially the layovers in Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas. Those are notoriously long. I'll never forget it.

Post by Justin on Jun 11, 2008 20:34:12 GMT -5
No its $1.30 today, and yes it is having a big effect. The price of everything is going up because of gas, and I am very close to raising my Courier rates as well.

Ugh.
I had to fill up at $1.34 or so on Monday.
Stupid price gouging. What exactly is the reason for the government NOT intervening with this crap? I know they're making heaps of moola from all the damn gas taxes but geezus, don't the members of parliament drive too? Or their families?
And isn't one of the ministers constantly saying that there isn't any reason for the absurd prices!?
If they're going to be using the excess money they stole from us for road work and shit, I expect them to fix every bloody pothole in this city by the end of this year then.
