Listening now, awesome find :D
 
Why I hate airports: It took me 25 hours to get from LA to Pittsburgh. My plane from LA to Charlotte, NC was delayed by six hours, so I missed my connection flight - I spent the night in the airport in Charlotte... what fun. I almost killed people until some Navy dude gave me cigarettes. Then they had to make another connection through Washington DC because there were supposedly no direct flights to Pittsburgh. That one got delayed to the point where I would miss my connection again, so I went back out and there WAS a direct flight home, so they got me on it, after I sprinted across the entire airport (it was like that one scene in home alone).

But the important thing is that I made it. And the fact that as soon as I got off the plane in Pittsburgh and got to the main part of the airport, right in the center I saw a big statue of George Washington, the father of our nation.... and right beside him, a huge statue of Franco Harris making the Immaculate Reception. That's when I knew I was home. :lol:

Hey Ken, I finished Book 1 of New Sun, already part way through Book 2.
 
Jeff, quite a story. :lol:

I've been reading too, school stuff. Last night I read until 3.30 AM and tonight I'm probably going to the same.
 
^ hey jeff thats funny, im on part two of book of the new sun as well haha
What is this? I'm currently halfway through A Storm Of Swords...holy win!

So I got a digital camera for X-mas (Canon Powershot A630) and I've been having serious playtime with it. I shot a video last week of a coworker delivering a memorable anecdote about a guy that unleashed a gargantuan shit at work, and apparently there were several witnesses :lol:

Iced Dog - A Storm of Swords is my favorite book. MAN it's awesome.

Charis - Yeah, the first book was a little hard to get into - the language and style are a little weird at first, but still awesome. Good stuff, he's a hell of a writer.

Legend Of The Mad Shitter

Dude, I think this person roams the Midwest, birthing turds all over. This sounds suspiciously like the Stretch Armstrong shit I personally witnessed/found in the early 90's when working for Office Depot as a driver.
I was doing a merch transfer at a Schaumburg, IL store. While I waited for them to gather the items I was supposed to pick up, I figured it was a good time to make a grunt cake. I walked into a stall, and saw a GIANT turd not unlike the one your coworker described. It was as big as a 12" softball in diameter, and at least a foot long, with about 4-5" sticking out of the water.
Not a hint of tp to be found anywhere, just the brown relic, sitting solitary in its watery home. There is no way a human could leave something like this, and if they did, there should be a pint of blood along with some tissue in the water. :yuk:I was completely in awe, and moved to a different stall out of fear....

Christ, mate... I just spat a mouthful of coffee over my keyboard reading that! :lol:

Haha:lol: I never knew that was physically possible.

I've heard other GRRM fans say the same...I usually take my time when it comes to reading, but not in this instance.

@Zach...yes, a very productive day...I'm just trying to emulate your work ethic afterall ;)

@J-Dub...that's both hilarious and frightening. Reminds me of a story my uncle told me of when he was at a concert, he walked into the bathroom and saw a softball-sized shit in the middle of the floor! He said it looked like a frikkin horse dropped a load :lol:

I'm sorry AND you're welcome! :lol:

Not without blood/tissue loss, anyway. Haven't seen anything like it since,
but Iced Dog's co-worker has! This perp MUST be found!

I'll bet THAT was someone related to our mystery turd dropper!
:lol:
 
:( I worked until 5am today, and now I work from 7pm to midnight. I'll just be getting off work when the ball drops.

That bottle of Goldschlager in my fridge is going to get hit hard when I finish the sprint back to my apartment.

Edit: Sweet, I have 2,222 posts.
 
@ Nate - yeah storm of swords was by far the best so far of aSoIaF - tho people never say much about a feast for crows and i still found it to be an amazing book - it concentrates on a couple of other characters that the other books havent, one in particular who is definately rather interesting, as well as some favourites still being in there..

about Book of the New Sun - yeah its true the language and writing style, though great, was a little hard to get into at first, especially having come straight from martins work, and theres alot of confusing things in the first book, which i hope get cleared up eventually lol, but yeah the 2nd one has gotten pretty darn interesting!

BTW HAPPY NEW YEARS people.. i literally just got home from my new years eve party, i havent showered in well over about 28 hours lol.. ill get there soon as im done here! i went to a house party straight after work yesterday, we had a good group there, had a BBQ, played some metal.. t'was excellent!
 
Haha...seriously! Happy New Year as well :)

And here's a clip I snagged this weekend...my uncle I are big Red Wings fans, and I happened to get him going irate over the officiating...just classic :D
