I wont be around much at all for a little while. My poor little laptop was sitting on the bedstand near my open window when my cat decided in a vicious turn of events to attack the cord sending it tumbling out my second story window. Yeah. Fun. So I am short a net connection, due to the fact that it was insured for theft, fire, etc. but not insured for cat related damage...

This means, to make a long story short that I wont be around much this summer, or for a while after that until I can scrape together enough to buy a new computer. Ive had a blast playing with you guys for the past year, and I hope you all have a great time.

Death to all cats (except Gwylifar).

Bye.

just throw your laptop out the window again, into the bin, then get a crowbar, lock your front door, then force it open.

Then you report it stolen

Whats sad is that idea could work...

Could...?
You know how much my car was 'worth', double what I paid.
It got stolen about three months after I bought it but happy.gif >_>

Heh, my older sister had a car she bought diiirt cheap. Then somebody t-boned her and it totalled the car and she got at least twice what the car was worth in insurance, so she went and bought a really nice one and then when it was in a parking lot somebody who couldn't drive very well backed out of the adjacent space and dented the driver side doors and drove off.

People do insurance jobbies ALL the time, to the point where people are becoming desensiticed to it.

..That's crazy. The most my laptop's had to endure was my cockatiel pecking the 'I' key off.. but I got that back on. Hope you can get it worked out!

oooooooooor, a robber broke in and was going for the laptop but he mistakenly shoved it out the open window!
Aebrin2005-07-08 02:46:40
Question...

why was your laptop on the window sill?
Unknown2005-07-08 02:58:25
maybe he wanted some fresh air while playing lusty? >.>

Bah my old flatmate once spilt a bourbon on his laptop and he reported it stolen. They replaced it, no questions asked!

My stupid, stupid friend broke his Spiderman 2 game disc in two and called the company and reported a manufacturer defect. I don't think they listened to him. What a looser.

EDIT: WOOOOT! My 100th Post!

I agree on the cat part, as mine is now vomiting up her dinner. *punt*
Stangmar2005-07-10 03:32:45
Wait, don't do the insurance scam, you'll jack the insurance prices even higher for the rest of us! nooooooooooooo!

However, you are stealing a fraction of the value of the laptop from each of the thousand that you are "stealing" from. Instead of having one person lose 100 dollars, for example, you are making a thousand people pay 10 cents.

Hey, that's what Tom Hanks said in Ladykillers. And he died at the end of the movie. MUAHAHAHA!
