i like to think of my cam as a $1000 cam... it's what most people pay...

I hate my roommate. Seriously. She's the second-most inconsiderate person I've ever met, the first being my pot-luck roommate from freshman year who was a passive-aggressive nightmare.

This best thing to do with telemarketers is what I call "The Loop." If you have someone right next to you, whenever the telemarketer asks to speak with "insert name here" or "the head of the household" just say, "Sure, one moment," put your friend on the phone, and repeat ad nauseum.

The last time this was done the dude just started laughing and says, "How about I take you off our list?" The rest just hung up. Either way it's fun.

P.S. Yeah, I'll leave the gauntlet laying and keep attending a real University. Thanks anyway.

P.P.S. Everybody pray for me to meet Bobby Knight this weekend. I hate that jackass so much.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are students living within range of the E-Bus elegible for the vouchers anymore? I figured we were required to take the bus, which doesn't make me thrilled... waiting for a bus at 2 a.m., then catching a few whiffs of whatever the person on there earlier was drinking isn't my idea of fun.

(In reference to the front page post)
Matt, with all the goings-on at Melrose lately, I'm guessing that Austin PD has a couple of cruisers that just sit in the area and respond to the dozens of calls that come from your apt. complex every night. In any event, it doesn't take 5 worthless cops to handle a "refusal to pay a cabbie" situation. I'll bet they even have a police code for that...something like a 423-in-progress or something stupid.

Hey if you ever get that cabbie again when using the DDP program, make sure to piss on his backseat or something.

George Leon looks like a bad porn star

Oh and when a telemarketer calls you, fuck around with them on the phone and pretend to be interested in whatever they are selling. Then they will usually put a supervisor on the line to "confirm" your sale, and when they do that, just start going off on the supervisor about how you can't believe his employee would insult your mother like that, and how you were gonna buy all this stuff and now you have decided not to. First off, the telemarketer will get a royal bitching out from his supervisor and will be crying, and secondly, you get to waste a bunch of their time.

Whenever you get junk mail with a postage-paid reply, write a note to the effect of "Fuck off and die, I just wasted 37 cents of your company!" and send it back. I have done this dozens of times and my volume of junk mail is decreasing.

Going back to an old poll, I might have to change my answer. I poured my milk before my cereal this morning. I didn't have much milk left so I poured it first. I didn't want to pour too much cereal first and not have enough milk.

The main reson I am posting though is to ask a favor of anybody that is bored. I would like for you to call 1-888-362-4826 just to waste that company's money. When somebody answers, just waste their time so the company has to pay for that call and the amount paid to the employee that answers the phone. If you want to read about some of the story . . .

Here in Aggieland, about half the calls I get are hangups or wrong numbers. I imagine that happens a lot in a college town where we are constantly moving. So I don't know how many different people had my phone number before I received it. Lots of the other calls are telemarketers. I got a message from one today, a guy named Cal Perry, and I called the number he left. I wanted to tell them to take my number off their list. Some lady answered and when I asked for Cal, she said he was busy but that she could help as his assistant. She would first need my phone number to verify. So after giving it to her, she asked if I was some other guy. Now, I don't know if this girl could even make it into Tech so you have to keep that in mind to know who I was dealing with. She kept asking me if I was sure I wasn't this other guy, and she was asking if she could talk to "some other head of the household" when I had already told her repeatedly that I was the oldest and head of the house. (I live on my own in an apartment). She wouldn't take my number off the list and kept questioning if I knew who I was. So we got into it. She told my I was rude, all that stuff, just a really crappy customer representative. These jerks call me constantly, leave messages on my machine about some Suburban or $1500 I might have won, and then are rude to me just because I don't feel like hearing their pitch everyday and want off their list.

The point is, please do me a favor and call these jerks if you have a couple minutes of free time, and just screw them. If we can get enough people screwing these guys, they might stop screwing us. Like, if you are fed up with junk mail, then when you get a postage paid reply envelope, just put a banana peel in there or spit up a big fat loogy.

HAHA! Good play Bradley Wade, good play! The gauntlet has been thrown!

See, now we are getting creative. It wasn't that hard was it?

Oh, and lets compare A&M bowl appearences versus Tech bowl appearences, shall we?

We can, and have, but the best season you've ever had in recent memory (and you still weren't even a contender for the South Division much less the whole Big XII) and you guys still couldn't get your asses to a football game.

So since our bowl game was right before Christmas and in Orlando Florida, our fans suck ass? Come on now, you can get more creative with some other reason that our fans suck ass can't you?

Professors who practice religious discrimination -- just another shining example of how great Lubbock Community College really is!!

Yeah JD...this past football season was one of the RARE years A&M did not go to a bowl game. Oh, and by the way, congrats on all 1,000 tech fans who bought tickets to your bowl game. Thanks for sticking the rest of the Big 12 with the bill because your fans suck ass.

I saw Bobby Knight in a Rosa's in Lubbock two years ago, right after he'd moved to Tech... we tossed around the idea of getting him to sign a chair, but decided against it.

Yeah, they thought about making a movie about A&M going to bowl games... but then they realized that doesn't happen.

Remember the made-for-TV movie "A Season on the Brink" about Bobby Knight? I heard they made a movie about Tech football coach Mike Leach. It's called, "A Season on the Booze".

Everytime I go to Lubbock I pray for two things:

(1) That although the town smells toxic, that it really isn't.

(2) That I see Bobby Knight so I can yell, "Hey Bobby, what's up?"

I can only imagine that guys pain of having to live in Texas where 90% of the people don't give a shit about basketball.

just making sure

Yea, I know.

201 and 210 are different...

Dude, I took Piano 201 for three semesters (repeat credit). What an awesome class. Show up for one hour a week for 12 weeks, one recital, and that's that.

at least you didn't need piano 210
