Anyhoo, of course Kazaa was installed and all the fun spyware that goes with it. Well, uninstallation and adaware later, everything is money. I then put Kazaa Lite back on there so the kids can continue to steal music. I stopped and asked the freshman daughter before I plowed her dirtbox
"You know you are stealing music, right?"
"Uhhh?"
"When you download a song you didnt pay for, you know thats illegal?"
"Uhhh. Its is?"
"Yea, tell me seriously cause I really dont care -- but you didnt know that was illegal?"
"No. They were just there."
"So, you never thought it was illegal to get music that you have to PAY FOR for free?"
"No, of course not. If it was illegal, why would it be there?"

Sealed in a real official looking type box. Curious as to what the value of it is? If it's good wine? The seal on the box reads "Moet et Chandon a Epernay" with some accent marks I left out.

I see all kinds of deals where, if you buy like 3,000 DVD-Rs in bulk, you can get them for like 25 cents a piece. The only problem is, I don't want 3,000 DVD-Rs. :) So as usual I've thought of a scheme.
If I can organize a group of like 30 people to split the price/media with, then we'd each get 100 DVD-Rs for 25 cents a piece. None of my friends have DVD-Rs, though. :(
If anyone's in the Silicon Valley or thereabouts and wants to do this, Shackmessage me and we'll talk.

Slowly but surely I will get bigger! And to you sufferers of weight gain who need to lose, don't make fun because you get picked on just as much for being thin as you do for being fat
