Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Feb 25, 2002 5:31pm PSTAh yes, Monday... things have been going pretty well in the background to keep on pushing our little website. Looks like Maarten and I both will be attending E3 this year again to keep the tradition alive, and the woman is coming along too. She's such a geek. If things go as planned Jason will be coming along as well... he's got a habit of being quite good at E3 coverage stuff. Plus he knows a sickening amount about consoles. Stuff?
- CyberCafe's responsible for porn? Yikes - Man threatens the wrong thing. - Exporting e-waste - Senior citizens smuggling ecstacy - McDonalds has a snowmobile drive through now. - A $66,00 bar tab, nice! Thanks Chris Morris - The right to go barefoot, fight for it! - Woman sues Nintendo for her 30yr old son having siezures.Lastly, Jason went wacko nostalgic on us again and added a Nintendo64 section to ShackReviews over the weekend btw. Oh and GoldenEye was the bomb. We're pushing ever closer to 1,000 reviews in the database. Crazy.

As the Autobots recover from thier last battle with the Decepticons Megatron plans his next scheme to rob the Earths precious energy resources.
Megatron: "I need a plan. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm...... My data co-processor must not be fuctioning today. I can't think of anything new that might actually work. Shit this is depressing."
Okay, Megatron is having "an off-day". Meanwhile at Autobot headquarters....
Bumblebee: "Optimus! I need you to command me to do something or I won't appear in this episode!"
Optimus Prime: "Oh all right Bumblebee. Go drive out to the 7/11 store and get me a super slushi. Now transform and ROLL OUT!!!!!!!!!"
Bumblebee: "Yea!"
Optimus Prime: "What a fag. Oh well, maybe I can get back to scanning these important Playboy diagrams. Hmmmmmmmm..... how pleaseing it is on my optical sensors"
Jazz: "Optimus! Where recieveing a message from Megatron!!"
Optimus Prime: "Oh shit now what is dumbass up to?"
Megatron: "Greetings Optimus. I wish to inform you that I have taken Bumblebee hostage and if you don't come to these specific coordinates he will be terminated immediatly"
Optimus Prime: "Really? You mean that?"
Megatron "Yes you worthless Autoscum"
Optimus Prime: "Ha! Ha! By all means, blow the little trud up. I don't care. Bye!"
Megatron "Wait! What about your super slushi?"
Optimus Prime: "Crap!"
So the Heroic(albeit very mentally deranged at the moment) Optimus Prime rolls out to the specified location as Megatron wanted.
Optimus Prime: "Come out Megatron. I want my super slushi!"
Megatron: "Fool. Your fate has been sealed. Prepare to die!!!!!!!!!"
At that moment, all of the Decepticons come out from hiding to swarm in on Optimus. Optimus quickly pops open his chest and pulls out the Matrix of leadership! He attaches it to the end of his gun, aims and then fires a HUGE beam of energy to all the Decepticons attacking him. His blast rips through Starscream like he was some cheap piece of plastic! Soundwave, Devestator, Astrotrain and many many more die in the blue glowing beam of Optimus's super charged gun! Only Megatron who fled to a safer location like a little sissy girl was left functioning. He fled so fast that he left the super slushi closer to where Optimus was.
Optimus Prime: "Ah, there's my super slushi!"
Megatron: "Curses! I've have lost this battle but I will be back agaaaaaaaaaain! Just as soon as I can figuire out how in the fuck did he do that?!!!!!!!!!"
Bumblebee: "Optimus! I was able to free myself as you obliterated those Deceptijerks!"
Optimus Prime: "Huh? Megatron didn't.... ? Oh fucking hell, do I have to EVERYTHING around here?" *BOOOOOOOOOM!*
Optimus fired one shot at Bumblebee obliterating him in less than a milisecond.
Optimus Prime: "What a fruitcake"
TEH END. :)

1: I can not spell. I never have been able to. I am a talker, not a writer. I am sorry. I understand this makes me look like a total idiot many times, especially to those that CAN SPELL or were beaten into spelling submision. It makes me feel better to know that at every crap office job I have had, I was the 'spell checker' and did well because I knew when a word wasn't right. Did not mean I could spell it right, but I am not as bad as the majority of the world.
2: Fuck the god damn post rate limit. Why is it that it cant just put your message in hold and make you wait instead of eating my message? I can not even back-button back to the message, wait, and post!

[H]ardOCP alerted readers that this site is actually run by Monarch Computer, a computer reseller. If you take a gander around the site and forum, you can clearly see the proof. Look a little closer and you can see why Reseller running review sites is a bad idea. Everything sounds so good, I should prolly buy it.
Get Bent Monarch Computer...the same Monarch Computer that ripped off a bunch of Anandtech Forum readers.
Hey! This music kinda sounds like what somethin' you did!

This is such bullshit. The Yates trial is pissing me off. Here's a case or premeditated murder, and to get off with insanity she made up shit about "Satan's voice" and reportedly aked "to have her hair cut in the shape of a crown" after murdering her children.
If she gets the insanity defense down, take notes. All you gotta do to beat the system is make up stupid shit.
