By the way Niya, thank God you told us about don't event reply .com. That **** is hilarious! My wife doesn't care for it to much though :P
Glad you liked it :)
Your wife is a human female....they're usually a little too high strung :(
She is, but she does fix me a pb and j sandwich after we finish our maritals.
Those costumes are completely improbable. Nobody would wear a mask like that for long and also do vigorous exercise. I tried it once while sanding down a room. Totally impractical.
Well she is definitely a keeper :DQuote:

Thanks for your response. It is very easy and simple, no application
fees required, this is how it works; the basic premise of the "paid to
drive concept" Rockstar Energy Drink" seeks people, regular citizens,
professional drivers, and all car owners above eighteen(18) years old,
to go about their normal routine as they usually do, only with an
advertisement for "Rock star Energy Drink" plastered on their cars.
The advertisements are typically vinyl decals, also known as "auto
wraps" that almost seem to be painted on the vehicle, and which will
cover some portion of your car's exterior surface.
What does the company gain from this type of advertisement strategy?
Lots of exposure and awareness; the auto wraps tend to be colorful,
eye-catching and attracts lots of attention. Plus, it is a form of
advertising with a captive audience, meaning people who are stuck in
traffic can not take their eyes off the ad vehicle. This program will
last for three(3) months and the minimum period you can participate is
one(1) month.
You will be compensated with Four hundred dollars per Week
($400/week), which is essentially a "rental" payment for letting our
company use your car. Rockstar Energy Drink shall provide detailers
that will handle the advert placement on your car, these detailers
have been tested and confirmed perfect for the job in order not to
leave any damage on your car after the end of the program.
There will be no fee for gas since you are not driving to anywhere
else apart from your daily routine.

Now I'm just awaiting a reply.
That's pretty good.
I wonder if I could get in on that. I'd sign up for a month, then park my car in my garage and go hiking for a month. That would work for almost everybody. I'd get the money, I wouldn't be bothered by having an unsightly car, it wouldn't bother my normal routine, and the advertisers still wouldn't be able to document whether or not the advertising increased sales. Everybody wins.
I didn't really need to know that. In fact, of all the things I could know....that is just one of them....and I really didn't need it to be.Quote:

This is Jade in UMK3:-

Now I know what UMK stands for in two different ways. Before that last post, I didn't know what it stood for in any way.
It stands for Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3......Did you even have a childhood ? ;)
There weren't very many video games around back then. I got to play Pong when I visited my Aunt's house. I also had a Vectrex system (line vector graphics, hence the name). The 486 came out after I had graduated from college, though the chip cost $6000 at the time, so I bought a 286 for grad school. Interestingly, I see on Wikipedia that the first version of Mortal Kombat came out in 1992, which is the year I got my Master's. So....I guess the answer is probably no.
I forgot that you're an old man. They still used vacuum tubes in your childhood ;) Don't think MK could run on a vacuum tube CPU :D
Actually, that's kind of true. When I was growing up, we had an old Heathkit radio that my father had put together. It did have vacuum tubes, which was kind of interesting, as they would be glowing. These days, we do that with LED's, but back then, the electronics themselves glowed.
When I was young our TV's and hi-fi's were all tubes. I can remember the "TV repair man" showing up with a suitcase full of tubes to fix things...
That was half-a-century ago...
Must have been pretty cool. In those days that would have been cutting edge.
My my you guys are ancient...I feel so....so....so young!Quote:

They sure think so...
They both want iPhones - I've already got 4 devices on my Verizon account - when does the "bulk discount plan" take effect???????????
They want iPhones ? Didn't you ground them for a month for such disrespectful blasphemy ? How dare they not ask for a Windows Phone! Don't they know their daddy is writes code in VB.Net and not Objective-C! ;)
That's their objective, see?
Clever pun :lol:
