No, Frank is cool as hell, he wouldn't do that. That's odd that he refused to change your name. It would only take him 2 minutes.

Yeah I know, its not Franks fault... I mean ultimately its not a big deal, I just think its strange that Chris the webmaster appears to do jack all, and even when asked to do something small, which probably happens only a couple of times a year, still does jack all...

He's lucky people volunteered to mod that place! Odds are it would still be down if no one did.

So, we are leaving at around 5:00am for Pittsburgh. I'm wondering if I should just stay up until then. I usually can't get to sleep until 4:00 anyway. What's it like running on no sleep?
 
Hey guys quick question.

Honestly, don't even look at their recent stuff. Check out their earlier stuff back when they were actually a funk band. I've never been a fan, but I won't deny that Flea is a cool bass player.

Try youtube... you might find a few songs you like, then just see what album they are on.

A few solo's I found...

Flea is pretty cool indeed and I like some of their older stuff aswell. Hell, Mother's Milk was one of my first CDs. One Hot Minute is in my opinion their best album though.
 
Hell yea Flea can play bass
that drummers pretty damn good too, not sure who he is.
I enjoyed the few movie slots Flea and whatever the lead singers name is, did too.
 
oh dear god yes. i watched "a fistfull of dollars" last night, and this scene is my new favorite movie moment.

Quick vent:

Sometimes i seriously hate working anywhere near state government. Just now someone was making a delivery and the delivery dude was looking for someone to sign the delivery notice that simply states that the delivery was made. There was a box there, a paper to sign, it's all good right? Well whoever happened to be back there at the time wouldn't sign it because they don't want to be responsible or some stupid shit. So the dude comes wandering through looking for someone to sign the goddamn paper, so i scribble my name on it. As he's leaving, the lady who was back there and didn't sign in the first place asks if i signed for it as i'm putting the slip of paper in the proper mailbox to inform the proper folks that their package has arrived. I tell her i did and she says "well he was supposed to go up front", which i inform her that it's been signed for and it's done. She continues with "well... last time i signed for something it was the wrong order". I'm sure that can be sorted out if that's the case, but that's neither mine nor the delivery guy's problem. He did his job delivering the shipment that was supposed to be delivered to our building and i signed saying that yeah, he was here and did in fact deliver something.

Not 5 minutes later, this same goddamned retarded bitch comes to my desk and asks me what he said to me (as if it matters). I tell her he was looking for someone to sign for the damn package, which she then launches into this long story about how her car was at the loading dock and she was unloading and he told her that she needed to move her vehicle because he had a delivery to make and if he couldn't make it he was going to leave... now while maybe a bit harsh, it's PERFECTLY reasonable in my mind that he is on a schedule and he should not have to wait while she takes her time unloading her car, especially since there's ample room for more than one vehicle at that loading dock (which it is apparent that she was not allowing room for him).

I don't fucking care if he was rude to her, i don't care to make this thing into a big deal because it's not. Just sign the goddamned paper, let him make a delivery and go. That's it. There's no need to send someone on a wild goose chase through the building just to be deflected by everyone who doesn't want to be responsible for saying a dude arrived and put a package on the back dock.

Bah! *punches people in the face*
 
Haha, awesome...I love the camera angle behind the gun as Clint is mowing those fuckers down :notworthy I got my dad the Man With No Name trilogy on DVD (A Fistful Of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad And The Ugly) a few years back...might have to watch those again.

that's the what i got too. i haven't seen them before but i had heard good things. and so far i'm enjoying.

@ Zach. i hate that everything nowadays is about liabiity. i work for a ymca teen center and summer camp. they don't give a damn if the kids have fun... they just want to make sure they don't get sued. there is more insurance related trainings than childcare related trainings. itmakes me sick.

I understand that completely... i used to work at the YMCA myself. But i just see no point in something like this... it's a damn piece of paper that needs to be signed, basically so the guy can show his boss that he was where he was supposed to be (that's really what it boils down to) as well as us having a record that it was delivered. And that guy's boss wants him to be in many locations today, so he doesn't have time to be bounced aroudn from one person who doesn't want to take responsibility to the next.

Again, i understand the reasoning, just is fucking annoying.

My favorite Clint Eastwood movie is High Plains Drifter. The scenes where he makes the midget mayor and forces everyone to paint the whole town red are so funny.

I don't know if it was intentional, but most of the Spaghetti Western films with Clint Eastwood in them are funny as hell.
