A toilet :zombiefuck:

Was it used? :laugh:

I bought Force Unleashed II for my PS3! TRU had a deal where with any PS3 or XBox game for $59.99 you get a $20 giftcard or $50 giftcard for two. I also bought it for my nephews an their XBox. Now I have a $50 giftcard to TRU.

You're much better off getting a GameFly subscription than sinking money into games that you may get tired of in a few weeks. Just saying. ;)

Quite the opposite for me! I only play certain games, Star Wars and Naruto, plus I collect them, and I do not play very often. GameFly would be a waste of money for me!

Oh, well, I guess GameFly isn't a very good option if you only play a few games. I'm considering canceling my subscription, since the only Xbox 360 game I have been playing lately is Race Pro. It's the best racing game I have ever played for the Xbox 360, despite its flaws in the presentation and features, when it comes down to the driving experience, it beats all. Including Forza 2 and 3, GRiD, DiRT, even Need For Speed: Shift. I bought the copy that I was renting from GameFly for 10 dollars, and they mailed me the case for it.

Bought three smallish boxes of various wrenches and hand tools after finding a Snap-on wrench in one for ten dollars No other Snap-on stuff but found a few other good things

George:I'd say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not. I excel at not giving a shit. Experience has taught me that interest begets expectation, and expectation beget disappointment, so the key to avoiding disappointment is to avoid interest. A equals B equals C Equals A, or whatever. I also don't have a lot of interest in being a good person or a bad person. From what I can tell, either way, you're screwed. Bad people are punished by society's laws, and good people are punished by Murphy's Law

I bought some groceries and a bathroom scale. I weigh around 275 lbs, I am only 6 feet 2... this cannot be good, I used to weigh around 225-230 lbs several months ago. :grrr:


You weigh that much and you go out and BUY EVEN MORE FOOD?  WTF??!!!??

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

A bridesmaid dress for the Princess Royal to use as a formal if she goes to the Christmas Dance.  It was only $25 at the thrift shop

What was I going to do? Starve myself? I was out of food, so I had to go buy more. Besides, my food stamps kicked in.

Orange soda, much which of which I just spilled on the floor,
necessitating a cleanup and the purchase of MORE orange soda!  :duh:

Was the sixteenth a bonus with the one socket?

I hope it lasts because I'm going to wear the hell out of it. I just bought a bottle of Welch's sparkling blueberry grape juice.

That juice sounds delicious! I just bought another bottle of orange soda!

A new router, the old one started dying on me.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.
