AAAARGH! (And not the Castle Aaargh)

Comcast is being screwy. Our cable's out and so's our internet access (I'm at Panera right now using their WiFi). It is of the suck.

But then again, I have the amusing story of seeing a woman take her kid out of Monster House for it being too scary--and then going down one theater and taking the child into Pirates of the Carribbean. Yes, that child-friendly movie with eyes getting pecked out, Kraken attacks, faces sucked off, and Tia Dalma being *very* friendly with Will.

Koi? Fish should click here.

EDIT: Cable and internet connection are back. I also forgot to mention in my last post that my auntie's mom is doing just fine, barring a mild panic attack on Thursday night in which calls to my auntie were in vain (being that while they were correct in which house they were calling, they were calling auntie's mom's phone number--which is in her apartment in the basement. My auntie sleeps two floors up and never heard it.). But she was released Friday and nothing's gone wrong since that. Fingers crossed.

Sadly, thanks to my TF2K5 training, Comcast first and foremost equals a red-and-black Seeker to me. /random

Heh. And for me it equals my connection to the world. I'm waiting for when we get wireless chips stuck in our brains so the following can occur.

Mom: How far is it to the flea market?

Seiber: *blinks twice* *Google -> Local flea markets -> Sweetwater -> contact info* 48 minutes.

That'd be about my response, too, yeah. For I am mighty in my Internet addiction.

Oh yes yes. The withdrawal pangs can be quite unpleasant.

Ditto! I found myself wondering how the F-15 was being screwy.

It's all good now, though.

*hangs you with the phone line, then puts corpse outside as a warning*

Yeah, you and everybody else.

At least the Comcast jokes have subsided on the MUSH itself.

Also, I like the concept of 2k5 training. It's a much more pleasant word than indoctrination!

Comcast sucks. I have YET to know anybody tell me a bad service story without their name being uttered.

Is annoying.

Do you work at Hunt Valley, MD? Becasue I overheard something simmilar there when, I went to see Pirates of the Carribean. Which was great, because not only did I get to see the movie again, but they also showed the treaser trailer for Transformers the movie coming out next year.

I HAD COMCAST IN ALABAMA!

Also yeah PotC II is not child friendly. WHAT ARE THESE PARENTS THINKING!?

I'm not sure. I was looking for the "Visual Guide", and all I found were kid's books and a preteen!Jack Sparrow book that read like bad fanfiction.
