Sc@-tt3r-ed Thoughts

I know I know, this is not a techy blog, but I had to share this!!

I walked into Subway today to grab some lunch, so I ordered a combo of a 1’ Spicy Italian sandwich. As I was at the register, and after she rang me, I remember that I had a discount card for subway.

You probably can’t see what this says, ( you can blame the crappy iPhone camera ), but it says Buy One 6” Sub & a Med Drink and Get One 6” Sub FREE.

Well, here’s what I bought:

As I gave the lady the card to apply the discount, she fumbled, and goes, oh, you can’t use this. you need to purchase them separately, so I said, well, how about you just bill them separately, and apply the discount? She says, (literally), “but sir, you need to purchase a 6 inch and a drink to get the discount, maybe next time”.

I don’t know about you, but this picture, sure does look like there are 2 6” subs, a drink, and a bag of chips. I even exceeded the requirement for getting the discount. Alas for me, I decided to run into a lazy ass employee who doesn’t want to help a customer.

Give me the discount sister, it’s not like it’s coming out of your pocket!!!

Anyway, I decided that I’m not in the mood to start an argument, and paid the $7 for the combo, but at least I got a kick out of it by bashing lazy people, worth my potentially saved $3

That’s a pretty sweet way to make your friends drop their jaw.

I saw this in a picture. I still am not sure if it’s a photoshop picture, or if it’s sold somewhere. but I will look for that, and post an update if I can find it. that would be trippy!

So, we complain that it’s freezing in California. check this picture out, this is in Geneva, Switzerland. I’d say it’s a wee bit colder there. Good luck to these cars trying to move!

Being in an environment where there is a lot of purchasing and projects going on, I thought this was funny… and thought I'd share it!

I have talked to my parents yesterday to get an update on the situation in Lebanon. Fortunately, they’re still safe. Resources are still getting lower and lower by the day.

At this point, there is no more gas in the country, and there is at least an hour wait at any gas station to get gas, and that is only to get about $6 worth of gas… do the math … so my dad is going down to work only about twice a week now, and once his tank is empty, they’ll pretty much be staying home. Same goes for electricity, there are some fuel ships awaiting to enter Lebanon to supply fuel for power plants, however, these are not being allowed to go in, so at this rate, in about 1 or 2 weeks, there will be no more electricity, and we’ll go back to the stone age with candles.

Food seems to still be available in moderate quantities, so that’s not to worry about for now. As I speaking with my dad, we are starting to have talks about alternatives of communication (if at all possible) if we actually do loose communication. Obviously, if there is no electricity, E-Mail communication will cease, as well as as probably phone services, especially that Israel is threatening to destroy any communications channels that Huzbollah might be using, which is sometimes the same channels that the rest of the population uses.

This morning, I received a couple of pictures from my sister. no worries, nothing gory this time, but interesting nonetheless. If you’ve been hearing the news, you might have heard of the city of Dahieh, which is mostly muslims, with a lot of Huzbollah in it, the following is a before and after picture of it…
 

The next few pictures are from (what used to be) the Mdairej bridge, which is the highest bridge in the Middle East, or so I think.

The next few are the ”little smile” part of the post my sister’s email comment was that:

This why hizbolllah declared war???

In order to die in the hands of the Israel’ soldiers.

They found heaven on earth

Wow, I’m impressed!

These are some pretty funny pictures of George Bush!!

2 times you had a splinter in your finger
20 times you lost the notion after thinking about it all day
6 times you came in your pajamas while reading a dirty book
98 times you were too busy watching TV

Ok, so it’s been a while I haven’t posted anything. I’ve been busy studying for the RHCE. that’s been tough. anyway , since this post isn’t about the RHCE, I won’t talk about it. I was looking around today, and I found this site: http://www.netdisaster.com

I don’t know why, but I just had the need to go and click on each of them, and see websites get destroyed, it’s sort of therapeutic, if you will ! why not, have dogs come through the website and lay a big pile’o'dung there, or wasps stinging the hell out of the page. it’s pretty sweet.

Ok, maybe I’m just easily entertained. I can say it made me waste some 15 minutes on it

ok, i got to this site, and i found myself reading it for about an hour, and if i wasn’t at work, I probably would’ve continued reading on. i give props to you mil. mostly for keeping track of all these, I’m actually impressed! Any couple can relate to some of these situation (even though some of them were a little extreme for my relationship with my wife) …

i don’t know if these actually keep a relationship healthier when the couple looks back at it, or would it utterly destroy it ?
It’s an interesting view on your relationship that he had put on the top of the page:

Nothing keeps a relationship on its toes so much as lively debate. Fortunate, then, that my girlfriend and I agree on absolutely nothing. At all.

Combine utter, polar disagreement on everything, ever, with the fact that I am a text-book Only Child, and she is a violent psychopath, and we’re warming up. Then factor in my being English while she is German, which not only makes each one of us personally and absolutely responsible for the history, and the social and cultural mores of our respective countries, but also opens up a whole field of sub-arguments grounded in grammatical and semantic disputes and, well, just try saying anything and walking away.

this is just plain crazy!! and I love it!
