I can't find a clip of it, but all I can think of is that scene in Beavis and Butthead Do America when Beavis calls on the red phone when he's in Cornholio mode and the General is all confused because he thinks the President is freaking out.

EDIT: Cant remember my fucking paypal password again. Just changed it to donate, and I wanted to again, and now I cant remember how I spelled "JuanTwoTreeWhore". FFS! I swear I change it once every 1 month to 2 weeks. My creativity is running thin.

EDIT2: Somehow I passed the linen at the end of the run on both characters.

You do know talking about the details of your passwords, even old ones, is not the brightest thing to do.

Yup but I won't use it again like the last 10 of them.

Can't remember what I did last night anyway >.>

Fucking Nintendo has pretty much just completely butchered the whole Amiibo thing. Certain ones were such a limited stock they were sold out months before release. I lucked into my Sheik Amiibo, but unless I want to pay 40+ each, I'm never going to have Mega Man, Rosalina and a couple of others I've been trying to track down.

I don't get the whole amiibo thing just like I don't get skylanders. Such a cash sink.

Nintendo can't even include a charger with their DS lol, what makes anyone think they know how to roll out figurines?

**BaneTheBrawler** · 2015-02-20 14:00

the amiibos, for smash, are AI. you can train them how to do certain techniques (and they actually learn), and they get slightly different movesets from the regular characters. they also let you earn coins much faster. plus they're neat little figurines.

they aren't super amazing, but they're cool enough.

So a bit of a random fail, I wake up this morning, low tire comes on. Fuck, its 5 degrees outside, tires don't look flat, maybe just a little low, I'll take care of it when I get back from work. Get back to our warehouse around 6:30pm (I work on the road and take a company van) and as I'm passing by I see my right rear tire is completely flat. Fuck fuck fuck. Have to change my tire and put the donut on in 15 degree weather and snow on the ground b/c the parking lot still has some snow scattered across the lot. Get down on the ground (used my trunk liner to lay on the ground so I don't have to kneel down in the snow, the only bit of win) to change the tire and there's this big old hex screw sticking out of my tire.

The biggest fail of all? I know this is our delivery guys who dump screws on the ground and give no fucks. Had a flat about 3 months ago because I parked in the same area around the delivery guys only b/c there's no other parking spots at the time. Same thing happened yesterday and lo and behold, flat. These guys should pay for my tire repair damnit.

Damn, that sucks. Changing tires in freezing temps is a specialty of mine. I do it at least twice a year for family lol.

My FWP that I just found out... The sensor in my furnace just went dead. I can see the initial flame for igniting but nothings happening. Normally it wouldn't be a problem but it's on the lower end of the mercury tonight, even for us. -27C with extreme windchill warning of -40c. Busted out some plug in heaters for the bedroom, but I'm just worried about the piping and no damn hot water tomorrow morning.

I made some Eggos in a do it movin' gtfo quick attempt. In my rush I turned the Toaster Oven all the way up in a failed attempt to turn it off... A few moments later as I'm heading for the door the cat alarm starts to sound, cat is terrified of smoke. Run back to the kitchen and shit is ablaze (within the toaster, thankfully.) I grabbed it with some hot pads and threw it out on the patio.

I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen and not think about if I had actually made it out of the door. I can honestly say I've not done some dumb shit like that before. Fucking, yikes... I'm taking a mulligan.

Also, explaining to the roommate why the Toaster was on the patio added fail to failure.

When I was younger, Eggos and a stupid moment almost made me a Darwin candidate. We had this old toaster that, when your food was done, would pop out but not quite all the way out. On this occasion, the Eggos were popped out but still too deep inside the toaster for me to pull out by hand. I was literally inches away from sticking a metal fork in there to try and fish them out, before I realized what the fuck I was doing. And no, I wasn't a child...I was probably 19 at the time. Oomph.

So just to add onto this, it was more than the sensor. Looks like I'm replacing the entire thing, it's about time anyways. But can't do it until Tuesday. Plugin heaters all over the house is barely cutting it with my weather haha.

i suggest running a pencil thin stream of water from each faucet until you get it fixed. should help prevent the lines from freezing. also if you have some pool noodles, you can slice them open lengthwise and use them as impromptu pipe insulation. but only on the cold water lines; anything hot is gonna be a fire hazard.

**bluefan** · 2015-02-22 02:02

Believe me, I know about frozen pipes. Common occurrence in my city. In fact, happened to one of my family's properties. The renters there decided it would be a good idea to turn off the heat in the basement so they could chill their beer when there wasn't room in the fridge.

The east coast is frozen and snowy and shit and I'm complaining that it's not in the high 70s in southern california.

I actually turned on the heater for a li'l bit, after I noticed how nice it felt after pulling dinner out of the oven.

I would take a frozen winter over the bullshit heat in California any day.

That, and it's California.
