Well fuck I can't spell tonight it seems. Im going to let that stand though. Yes the cat pops late at night, its quite high pitched, a bit like a helium balloon going off.
Hey Victor, This is Nathan McMahon. I'm the Opinion Editor with the Daily Sundial. I really appreciate your comment and it's refreshing to see someone articulate their opinion so well. I also like that you have a definitive alternate viewpoint. If you'd like, I'd like to extend an invite to write for us. We are always looking for great writers and the fact that you feel so strongly about our position, makes it that much better. Let me know what you think and if you'd like, stop by our offices at Manzanita Hall, Rm. 140 and we can discuss it in more detail. Thanks again.
I feel like this is a great opportunity but I also feel like they're trying to draw me into the dark side...
"Gahn" is the phonetic spelling of an odd local(and possibly somewhat regional) version of "Go on!" or "Go on then!", generally used as an encouragement - as in, "Go on, do it!" or similar.
Fail = Tried to purchase my new computer, but my card got denied multiple times. Ended up calling Chase to discover that the card you are given with your account is physically tied to the account. So when I switched from a high school account to a college account, the card I had from the high school account still had a limit of $300, and all I had to do was to activate the card the gave me a year ago and start using that one.
Booyah! = My new computer is coming! And I already have a name for it... Zegar, which is Polish for Clock.
Booh yah: Ryan and I finished recording an episode of Cage Rage that has gone past the hour mark and is now the longest episode we've done to date.
Fail: I am now staring at a multitrack session that is up to two and a half hours long and I am really scared. It will be split into two parts out of sheer convenience though. This will most likely take 2 weeks to edit.
Looks like I'm officially out of money. Waiting on checks from three clients, but they probably won't get here until sometime next week. This weekend is going to suck.
EDIT: Oops, wrong thread. Uh, boo yah... I guess it's my birthday? :-/
Fail: Everyone in Troy is trying to fucking ram my car constantly. I've been in 5 near misses since Wednesday, another this morning, and none have been remotely my fault. This includes a bloated white woman who suddenly whipped across the lane to the shoulder, jumped out of her car, and started doing what I can only describe as a 'come at me, bro' dance at some other car that was passing her.
This morning, a guy basically floored it from a parked spot on the side of the road without any signal and without lights, and then stopped right in the lane. I, and the four cars behind me, all slammed on our brakes, and I was liberal with the horn and the double-duce.
I swear, I'm going to start rollerskating to work.
I think people are just getting worse at driving. I've been hit no less than four times while riding my bike and I've long ago abandoned riding on the streets in favor of the sidewalks. I say "no less" because I've been clipped so many times that it isn't even funny.
It's entirely too easy to get a license in the US. We hand them out to teenagers who barely know how to handle themselves, let alone a ton of car. The driving age really ought to be raised, and licensing requirements should be much more stringent (not $3000 Japanese driving school, more Scandiwegian "You will damn well know how to handle any eventuality and rally competitively before we'll let you on the road!").
I'll agree with that. Our laws in my state are fucking silly, but they have been pretty good in the past - three stage license, Written test for learners, practical test to get on your P plates, and then a few years of experience to get on your open license. Lower tiers of license have less points, and lose your points, lose your license. Most traffic infringements, from speeding to not wearing a seatbelt, to talking or texting while driving, all have both a fine and a points penalty attached.

Requirements for getting a drivers license vary from state to state, so you shouldn't make any general statements about the U.S. as a whole.

Fail: Apparently it is a late night noisy popper. So this could get interesting.
So, being the person that I am, I shot a volley across their bow.
Boo Yah: I got this email this morning: I feel like this is a great opportunity but I also feel like they're trying to draw me into the dark side...
Boo-yah: Live forever?
Fail: Took me six months to figure it out.
