Shtick is always a wise move, lol. Or is that wise-ass move? Lol. I love comedic relief!!

What grinds my gears? Ordered Clone Wars season 2 supposedly on DVD but they sent me a Blu-ray. My ps3 plays it and I can certainly get allot out of the sound but have no idea how it'll look on our TV for those who want to watch it. lol This is my first Blu-ray. It was cheaper than it should be so guessing amazon screwed up because I got it brand new for around $29.

~~Leo656~~ · 02-25-2014, 02:44 PM

Not necessarily. For one thing, a lot of Blu-Rays have been coming down in price dramatically, even Season sets. I've seen a lot of stuff at Target on BR for around $25, although Clone Wars stuff is usually a bit more. A lot of movies, even Special Editions, can be had for $5-$10. I've seen Clone Wars stuff for around $35, but you could have just gotten a good deal. It happens. Go with it.

I held out for a long time, myself, but I've been picking up more Blu-Rays simply because the stores carry more of them now and in some cases they're as cheap or cheaper than the DVD versions so it'd be stupid not to. I still often fail to see the dramatic difference in picture quality, sometimes it's better sometimes it's the same, but I'm not losing anything in the deal so it's whatever.

The fact that my Superman box set still hasn't arrived.

I hate it when things take forever to arrive in the mail. Having to wait for my Ninja Tribunal DVD back in 08 was horrible. Seems like that happens allot when I order Superman stuff as well. Darkseid must be in charge of shipping. Nothin like getting neato merch in the mail though. Hope your stuff arrives soon, Headbands.

My car was broken into (broke the drivers side window, glass every where!) and my radio was stolen and as well as my ipod that I had left in my car (my fault for leaving it in there). Oh the the asshole slashed the upholstery in the car while he/she was at it. Why do this? You already ****ed up my car and took my stuff? This is after I had finally gotten the boot off my car last week, for unpid parking tickets. It sucks! My apartment does not have a garage so you have to park on the street, but becuase of the weather the city keeps putting parking bans on my street and then I get slammed because I have no where to put my car. Oh and while I had a boot on my car I kept getting more parking tickets even though I couldn't move it. And now this **** happens! FML!!!

Wow! Some people are just dicks, I guess. I hope it comes back to bite them in their hind parts. Seriously can't stand cowards who steal from others. How does a person justify that sort of stuff, I wonder?

*BubblyShell22* · 03-13-2014, 04:43 PM

Sorry to hear about that, NGH. That sucks. People are just horrible and don't care about anything or anybody. They just do what they want with no regard to how it may affect others.

What grinds my gears: More snow! So tired of it.

*Donatello19* · 03-13-2014, 06:00 PM

-snow
-having colds
-TV show hiatuses
-people who think animation is only for kids and tell you to "grow up"
-when the cashier at TRU gives me funny looks for buying toys (not all of them do this, but most do...)
-infomercials
-when people think I like things like Hannah Montana and High School Musical when I say I'm a Disney fan

There's probably some more I'll think of eventually...

~~Leo656~~ · 03-13-2014, 08:38 PM

What a crock of sh*t, NGH. Not for nothin', but that's why I'm glad I don't live in a big city and pray I never will.

Because I completely don't care. If I ever caught someone in the act of doing some sh*t like that, they'd cease to breathe. Someone did that to my wife's car once, too - didn't steal anything, as there was nothing in it to steal, but smashed the window in - and honestly, it would have been worth them doing it just to catch them doing it.

Stuff like that simply isn't right. And what sucks is, there's nothing that can be done about it. When we called the cops over it, the officer who arrived basically laughed it off - "What am I supposed to do, dust the broken glass for prints?" - and just said "Keep your eyes open". I told him flat-out, "You bet your ass I will, because if I catch someone doing it again, you're gonna be called to cart away a dead f*cking body, I promise you. I don't think you're taking me seriously."

Cops don't give a sh*t about anything but writing parking tickets. And even if the guy who f*cked your sh*t up gets caught, he won't get punished, at all, which is even more frustrating. Not only is your sh*t messed up and stolen, the guy who did it is gonna do it again to someone else.

Since I been there, I feel for you. That's a f*cked up situation.

I'm sorry to hear about this

*Whatswiththeheadbands?* · 03-17-2014, 12:05 PM

The fact that i tried to show my brother a piece of TMNT fan art that i did in 5 minutes, and he complained that it contains Pink Floyd.

Here is the art below (large image):

*BubblyShell22* · 03-17-2014, 01:16 PM

Dude, that's some awesome art.

What grinds my gears: When my sister calls and decides to be a b*tch to my mom instead of treating her with respect as she should.

I have the same problem... but much less so, lately. Very frustrating, but hopefully she can realize the error of her ways. Sorry to hear about that.

That's just a flat out horrible situation. Sorry to hear all that, dude. Cities can seriously suck sometimes, especially when they put you in impossible odds like that.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 03-17-2014, 10:46 PM

Annoying, obnoxious neighbors you can't get rid of. Seriously. We have a neighbor in the apartment above and "next" to ours (well, we DID live right next to her, but we moved to the one below us due to my hubby's amputation for ease of getting around) and she is one of those whiney, co-dependent, oblivious people who can't stand to be alone and talks non-stop about the most boring, stupid details of their life. CONSTANTLY. And she knocks or calls or texts us all day long, to the point where we have to lock the door and turn out the lights and pretend to either be asleep or not home to avoid her. She's clingy, not-too-bright, and impossibly dense, and if she sees me coming home from work, she will follow right to the door, wanting to come over and talk. I try shutting the door in her face, but she just comes in. And it's impossible to tell her off without feeling guilty for possibly making her more "depressed". (She's the type who gets depressed easily, and feels unloved, gets butt-hurt, etc. Gee, I wonder WHY....

)

Fortunately, we just found out she's getting evicted for not paying rent. YAY!!!

Dawnatello Turtle Chick · 03-18-2014, 12:06 AM

What's grinding my gears right now, is being agitated at the end of a long day and not being able to relax enough to go to sleep which is what I need most! Aaaaargh!

*BubblyShell22* · 03-18-2014, 09:09 AM

Dawnatello, she won't see the error of her ways as she never learns from her mistakes. She's just conniving and evil. Sorry to hear about you not being able to relax. That sucks.

Duckie, neighbors like that are awful. Glad to hear she's being evicted though.

What grinds my gears: The fact that we're going to get more snow and I have a killer headache this morning. Now I know why.

*blindturtle02* · 03-18-2014, 09:50 AM

I have to agree on not being able to sleep grinding one's gears, as well as headaches due to adverse weather conditions. Studying for my tests is causing me to have major trouble sleeping. I nod off but juerk back awake because it's like I feel myself falling. Very scary. I have earbuds with a rifftrax movie going on at night now, so that seems to help. Although my dreams are full of Mike and the bots from MST3k because I leave the movie on repeat all night so it'll start back over once finished. Seems to help allot. Although the dream I had of Tor Johnson and Servo showing up to read my teachers' certification test due to Plan 9 From Outer Space was very disturbing. Tor couldn't read the test until he'd gotten his flashlight,"out of patrol car." haha

*Lethal Lullaby* · 03-24-2014, 09:27 PM

I realized that I do not like talking on the phone. Especially when it lasts for almost an hour. And then there are times where they're talking to me and i have to freakin' pee like all hell, but i don't want to be rude and interupt them- also it's really awkward trying to use the bathroom while talking to someone on the phone. Well. To me it is. Maybe because i know they could probably hear the toilet flush in the background. Oh and not to mention this is basically what I'm saying during the whole conversation: Yeah. That's great. Okay. Uh huh. *starts to look at how long the phone conversation has been* etc...

Yep.
