nah dude unlike almost everybody on mx i can pass for a human being by my looks

DaveSavesTheDay 05-19-2009 10:29 AM

see, I never liked DBZ.

Everytime I'd get into it on TV I'd be horribly let down. They'd spend like 39 1/2 episodes hulking up and trying to take a crap and then finally, "NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z: SOMETHING HAPPENS!"

But guess what!? There was no ****ing next time. It would start over from the first ****ing episode for some god damn reason.

gaslight 05-19-2009 10:30 AM

Yeah I never bothered with that show.

Is it true that people on MX are mostly ugly?

Epidemechanical 05-19-2009 10:48 AM

dude have you seen the "post pics of yourself" threads? its hilarious. everybody is an acne ridden, pale, overweight, long haired uggo.

For once I'm inclined to agree with Rail.

But isn't this statement true for most of t3h interweb?

You'd expect it to be hyperbole... but...

gaslight 05-19-2009 10:53 AM

Nah I've never checked out said threads.

Ah well, attractive people are in the minority in the world I suppose.

Epidemechanical 05-19-2009 10:56 AM

not really, i mean, most people at school and work look fine and normal. i'd say about 60% of everyone i know and see.

and on other forums i post on pretty much everybody looks good in some way shape or form. but maybe thats cause its a bodybuilding forum....LoL!!

Yeah, so yeah. I want modulator effects built into an arm contraption. Pedals are the past.

gaslight 05-19-2009 10:59 AM

There's a difference between normal and extra attractive.

Though MX is a haven for basement dwelling amateur musicians / obsessive gamers / general trolls so I guess there's nothing about those groups that would be a positive for the average looks here.

I'd say there's an honest to goodness girls to guys ratio of about 1:500 on this site also.

Pedals exist so people who use both hands to play can operate them without distracting their hands :p.

But sure use it for your vocals or something.

There was one from ages ago who was smokin'. But just the one. Or maybe two.

Ah well.

Gah, I need to spend a lot of money on music supplies soon. Both my basses, my electric and acoustic guitars all need new strings. I really want two of those Analysis Plus leads too and a custom moulded set of earplugs and DI for recording and a back-up set of non-moulded earplugs and f[size=2]uck[/size] I hate not having money f[size=2]ucking[/size], f[size=2]uck[/size].

We've all been there. Don't worry.

You could always donate sperm or plasma.

funkyhoney 05-19-2009 11:20 AM

I work with liquor, I get paid a lot. Yay!

gaslight 05-19-2009 11:22 AM

Haha I don't think those donations pay terribly much.

What do you funky, liquor store? What's that pay? There's a liquor store up the road from me. Why does liquor pay a lot, is it danger pay for robbery risk?

Liquor store, yes, it pays the same as bar work because it classes as hospitality. It'll vary, I'm sure, but it's good money. I get $20 an hour on weekdays and penalties after 6pm, more on sat, more on sun, WAY more on public holidays.

It pays because you have to deal with drunks, really, it's all duty of care and responsible service of alcohol. You can get some EPIC fines for serving minors and stuff.

But it's **** easy work, it's all either scanning booze, moving boxes of booze, or getting into verbals with minors and drunks (which personally makes me smile, it's hilarious).

There's always the danger of robbery, but it's 99% snatch and grab (which you never get blamed for), depending on where you work there's very very rarely armed robbery.

gaslight 05-19-2009 11:39 AM

Nice. I get a $21/hour flat rate for my job but it's casual and there's no penalty rates ever as far I can tell. Never worked a public holiday yet. Sounds like a good job.

You have to be alcohol and tobacco certified...which is a 4-hour waste of your time basically explaining that you have to check ID and that fake IDs don't count.

Fake IDs are funny. As long as you check it and it's an acceptable form of ID, you are no longer responsible. Your job is only to check for the birthday and whether or not it's an acceptable form of ID.

gaslight 05-19-2009 11:52 AM

I reckon there'd be some hilarious fake IDs out there.

No beard no beer that'd be my motto.

funkyhoney 05-19-2009 11:53 AM

I get 20 flat, 22 after 6pm, 25 on sat, 27 after 6, 30 on sun, 32 after 6pm, I get overtime, I get double time and a half on public holidays. I stay relatively fit and I don't do very much.

Win.

It's a good motto, but sometimes it fails, mate of mine got a $600 fine for selling two 17yo abos with FULL beards some tallies. Pretty lucky considering the max is $8000 here.

There is a good fake ID we confiscated a while ago. Some kiwi kid and the name's like "John Paul Jnr."

gaslight 05-19-2009 11:55 AM

Haha oh man, I wish that was my pay scale.

Haha oh the beard thing wouldn't be my only criteria.

"Here's your beer, John."
"Who's John bru?"
"..."

FunkMetalBass 05-19-2009 11:59 AM

OMG. That reminds me of a funny story from when I was a manager at a grocery store. This kid tried to buy liquor, and it went down like this.

Me: Can I see some ID please?
Him: Yep. **hands me ID**
Me: Sir, this ID says you're only 19.
Him: Oh sh*t. Wrong one.

He then grabbed that ID and tried to hand me his fake that said he was 22.

:lol:

gaslight 05-19-2009 12:02 PM

Hahaha.

He should have been like, nah dude I'm really 22 I just have a fake 19 year old ID so I can get with the young chicks.

Lol. That would have been epic.

funkyhoney 05-19-2009 12:10 PM

I've got so many good stories I'm too tired to type out now. A lot of them involve Indians, minors, drunk people, idiots who don't know how to steal things and Asian minors.

The latest and greatest were two Indians (usually they come in groups of 3 or more and I'm seriously not kidding, spend a minimum of 20 minutes in store and buy approximately 1 standard drink worth of beer per person) spent over 20 minutes looking at the red wine. Chose a bottle of complete ****, got a single stubbie of beer as well, a bottle of coke and a bottle of ginger ale.

He went on to ask me in his terrible English, if mixing the red wine with the ginger ale would be good. I was more than a bit miffed. This was stupid even by their standards. I wish I was making this up hah.

My mate was in the shop just talking with me and told him to get Sprite instead, I was nearly pissing myself laughing. Then he asked me "how many people" could drink the bottle of wine. I just stared for a second before telling him it depended how ****ed up he wanted to get.

Then he came back 10 minutes later, had a 5 minutes debate with his friend including close to yelling and some head slapping and bought two small packets of cashew nuts.

This kind of **** makes me want to hate Indians.

gaslight 05-19-2009 12:16 PM

Haha.

Cashew nuts, seal the borders.

funkyhoney 05-19-2009 12:18 PM

They take everything so seriously, at one shop in particular, 6 guys in a 2 door Hyundai Excel rock up every monday night, spend 10-15 minutes jabbering in their bullshit "language" and buy like, 2 tallies of Tooheys Extra Dry. I'm not even exaggerating, they're ****ing stupid.

FunkMetalBass 05-19-2009 12:22 PM

Indians are ridiculous everywhere. There's this one guy that come in every other day to buy a 40 of Mickey's with ALL PENNIES.

I don't even know how he acquired so many pennies, but I dealt with him 3-4 times a week for 2 years.

gaslight 05-19-2009 12:22 PM

Haha.

Awesome.

I wish I had pennies.
