Heh reminds me of my phone problems i had earlier this month.
It started when i found out our phone was dead (made no dial up tone or something, nothing) so i figured there was something wrong. Yeah i'm smart  . So i call helpdesk, get the message "due to unusual circumstances waiting time is longer than usual". I think screw it and hang up. I'll see if it's fixed tomorrow, if not then it's not something big, it's just my phone.
Nothing the next day, so i try helpdesk again. Same message, but this time i just leave my cellular phone on speaker and start surfing the net a bit. It's odd i have internet and no phone btw. After 20 minutes they pick up. Blablabla they do some tests: your line is fine. Great, now what?
Advice: go to store to have your phone device tested.
Next day i go to the store, wait in line for half an hour, they test my phone. It works, great. Now what? Contact helpdesk again.
I decide to call in some help here: my father-in-law who knows a lot about electricity and stuff, if he can check the lines in my house. I also decide to buy another splitter, just to make sure if this thing isn't just causing all my problems. His conclusion: everything should work.
Sigh: helpdesk again. If these suckers just can send someone over to come check here, since i have no clue what's wrong. We're already 1 week after i found out we had no phone signal. Of course they're busy and i have to wait 4 or 5 days. Whatever.
Almost 2 weeks after the first call: hurray the technician will be coming over today. I think i'll better check if our battery is charged, and in a reflex i pick up the phone to listen to the dial up tone. Ehm ... it works?
I dial helpdesk to see if they repaired something, they contact the technician and he hasn't done a thing yet. Weird.
After some serieus thinking i can come to only 1 conclusion: the bastards accidently shut down my phone line/account and they didn't find out untill they had to check things for the technician to come by. And instead of calling me, they were probably going to actually send him over to 'repair' it, or to make me look awfully stupid when he picks up the phone and says "ehm this works sir". Saddest thing is that i can't do anything about it. I just have to be happy my phone works again, i only was unable to use it for 2 weeks. And if they had just checked my account on day 2 (and not just the connection), i wouldn't have lost hours driving around, waiting in line, trying to fix it etc.
Cock heads.

oh, I read about that. That story is over-hype. You can put anything you want on the hard drive. However, there's a service you can install that will let you share the contents of the hard drive with other users. That's the one that won't let you share media and other stuff.
It's still a stupid idea, but all these news stories are overhyping the problem. Probably not a bad idea... the DRM thing is horrid. Slashdot had a story on it.

A little rabbit is happily running through the forest when he stumbles upon a giraffe rolling a joint. The rabbit looks at her and says,
“Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Come with me running through the forest, you’ll see, you’ll feel so much better!â€

LOL, here's another fairy tale. Forgive me for the GFreenglish. You may correct it Sat, so that people don't get disgusted by it. ; )
One day bear decided to organize the forest to do an action of cleaning and whatever else needed to be done. The message spreaded from animal to animal and soon everyone knew it. Tomorrow, animals begun to gather under the oldest and biggest tree in the forest. The bear was first, then elephant, giraffe, squirrels, fox etc.
After half an hour everyone was there but rabbit. The bear didn't want to start before everyone's there, so they waited another half an hour. The rabbit didn't show up. The bear lost his patience and told the fox to go to the rabbit's den and see what's going on.
Fox went there. It knocks on the door. Nobody answers. "Oh rabbit, are you there? Sure you are, you don't have where else to be. Have you forgot that we have that working action today...." Nobody answers. "What the hell are you doing in there?"
Rabbit answers: "I'M FUCKING!!"
Fox shrink back from the door, for loudness of this sentence, that has obviously been colored with sort of big pleasure. "Ok... just don't do it for long. We've got job to do today". And so fox got back to the old tree, and told the party about this. They decided to wait.
After an hour or so, bear sent the fox to again to the rabbit's den, but it returned with the same answer. After the third hour, bear decided to go to the rabbit's den and investigate the case himself. Everyone come with him.
He knocked hardly on the rabbit's door.
Bear: "Rabbit! What the hell are you doing in there?!"
Rabbit: "I'M FUCKING!"
Bear: "Well then just stop it, come out, and you can do it further when we're done with the action."
Rabbit: "I CAN'T! IT FEELS SO GOOD!"
Bear (decided to change tactics): "Don't be so silly to lie to me. Whom the hell could you be fucking, when everyone else is here with me."
Rabbit answers: "I'M FUCKING YOU AND YOUR STUPID ACTION!!"
I know many such tales. If you liked this one, just ask for more.

Rabbit buys a piano but its too heavy for him to lift. So he calls his good friend Bear and ask him to help. Bear is more than willing to help but only on one condition, Rabbit has to tell him such a good joke on each floor that Bear pisses in his pants.
So everything goes as planned and Rabbit manages to tell a joke after joke when they go up the stairs and they finally reach the intended floor. But then the rabbit sais: "Bear, now im gonna tell you such a joke that you will even shit your pants. We're in the wrong staircase."

Lol.
Here's one I got by text message...
"Would you like to join in the Alzheimers march?
If so, here's the chant so memorise it now!
WHAT DO WE WANT?
WE DON'T KNOW!
WHEN DO WE WANT IT?
WANT WHAT?!
Hehe, I thought it worked just after this point though:
"Would you like to join in the Alzheimers march?
If so, here's the chant so memorise it now!"

Gfree, your gfreenglish is getting really good! That was entirely comprehensible without me having to reread any part of it. You're doing great!

This is taken from Guildcafe forums. People are deciding which one is cooler, alien or predator. AVP2 is on the way to cinemas so thats the reason.

Can't stop laughing. Why do I have the feeling Ox would be top scorer?

hehe, yea, I was expecting that too. :p That version didn't leave room for the Frodo and Sam love affair though.
Here's some stuff from So I Married an Axe Murderer. The movie sucks for the most part but the Scottish dad is teh RoX0r.

@Derf's thing
Yay.  My answer but offfff course: "To hell with morality, I'd be too busy pile-driving, crane-kicking, and bare-knuckle bashing them all the way back to kintergarten", and w00t:
Actually much more, if they gave me a staff.
