Arby's has that 5 for $6 thing which isn't bad. If you aren't too hungry you and your lady friend can do lunch with the 5 things.

They should let you add additional things for $1 a pop over the 5. I'm sure they make money on each of things on the list at $1.

I should clarify- There were a couple, but they seemed rather far away from the centre of the map. What city do you prefer?
 
Someone broke into my work last night and stole the orders I was working on... =( Now I have to redo all the laptops.

Well, if you don't mind just posting both their addresses, I'll be ok.

Thank you kindly!

Best one is the Garland on it seems.

Not sure it's worth it for the credit on trade ins...
 
If you just get credit you're gonna need to drive out of your way every time you want to use the credit as well. Just eBay your ish.
 
McGriddles are delicious. I tend to avoid McDonald's though, unless it's my only option.

Morning OTT. Took a nice bike ride today. I suppose I will have to go to work later.

Inner city life, inner city pressure
The concrete world is starting to get ya
The city is alive, the city is expanding,
Living in the city can be demanding,
You’ve pawned everything, everything you own,
Your toothbrush, jar, and a camera phone
You don’t know where you’re going
You cross the street
You don’t know why you did,
You walk back across the street.
Standing in the sitting room, totally skint
And your favorite jersey is covered in lint
You want to sit down, but you sold your chair
So you just stand there
You just stand there
You just stand there
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
~Inner city pressure~
Counting coins on the counter of the 7-11,
From a quarter past six ‘til a quarter to seven,
The manager Bevan starts to abuse me
Hey man, I just want some Muesli,
Neon signs, hidden messages,
Questions, answers, fetishes,
You know you’re not in high finance,
Considering getting second hand underpants,
Check your mind, how’d it get so bad?
What happened to those other underpants you had?
Look in your pockets, haven’t found a cent yet,
Landlords on your balls, have you paid your rent yet?
Inner
Inner city
Inner city pressure
~Inner city pressure~
So you think maybe you’ll be a prostitute,
Just to pay for your lessons, you’re learning the flute,
The ladies won’t pay you very much for this,
Looks like you’ll never be a concert flautist,
You don’t measure up to the expectation
When you’re unemployed there’s no vacation
No one cares, no one sympathizes
You just stay home and play synthesizers.

Not sure it's worth it for the credit on trade ins...[/quote]That's why I made sure that when I traded in games at GC for my 120GB 360 HD, I didn't leave any credit behind or any pre-orders.

There used to be a GC a couple of miles from my house, though they closed down. :whistle2:s Nearest one is about 3 miles off the main north/south highway I drive on my work commute, so it's not a PITA to get to, just something I wouldn't plan on going to on a regular casis.
 
[quote name='wubb']I wonder how many of them don't realize they aren't actually getting HD service for their HD TV.

lol nubs.[/QUOTE]

A new CEA study, HDTV: You Have the Set, But Do You Have the Content?, found that 44 percent of HDTV owners receive HD programming. The main reasons consumers stated for not receiving the programming was that it was too expensive or they were not interested. Yet, while there is some confusion among HD owners as to whether they are receiving HD programming, the vast majority of owners understand what programming they receive and do not receive.

I still don't buy the whole "I bought an HDTV OMFG I NEED A PS3/360" argument.

Buying an HD set w/o getting HD content is really dumb IMO. Standard def stuff often looks better on a decent standard def set.

I guess if you watch a lot of DVDs and want the WS aspect.

EDIT: Uh.. unless you're shrike. :oops:

That's the other way around though, which I can understand. "I got a 360/PS3 OMFG I NEED AN HDTV."

That to me makes sense, but I don't see the reversal holding up all that well.
 
I'm suprised the iPhone isn't flooded on ebay. Only a few listings for the phone itself. Of course there are lots of buyiphone-usa.com type listings.
 
And I didn't feel the need to rush out and get a 360 or PS3 for my HD set FWIW. Wouldn't mind having one though. I did upgrade my cable to HD service asap though. (Well I switched from cable to fios, but same concept.)

I have an HDTV and don't get HD service as well. For me, our old TV was busted and it was time to get a new one. We weren't necessarily looking to upgrade to HDTV yet, but we figured we'd want to in the future. So rather than buy one TV now and an HDTV in a couple years, we just bought the HDTV now and we'll upgrade to HD content when we're ready for it (right now there aren't very many channels that put out in HD). We also don't watch a whole lot of TV, and what we do watch doesn't seem to be all that distorted. So we're fine for now (And our DVD"s look awesome :) )

Heh.

My SD content looks pretty good on my TV, though I'm going out via component, so I'm getting 480i upscaled to 480p. Not perfect, though it's good enough for my needs.

When they figure out the right way to do the Home Networking Option for the Series 3 Tivo's, I'll replace this Tivo with a Series 3 and then it'll be a problem that fixes itself. :D

I can do DVD upscaling with the 360, so that's one reason for the TV, at least for DVD's. Which reminds me, now that I'm using VGA hookups for the 360, I should give that a try and see how it works upscaling to 720p.

Seems kinda tenuous though.

If I went out and bough a chocolate bar, I don't instantly think WOMG I NEED SUMMADEMS GRAHAM CRACKAZ AND SOME 'MALLOWZ AND MAKE SOME SMORZ UP IN THIS BITCH.

But if I bought graham crackers and marshmallows, I could see myself wanting to pick up some chocolate for that exact purpose.

Still only kinda works one way, where some things imply the other, but that other thing might not lead back to them expressly.

Besides, gamers historically like to have all the best tech, which (imo) adds to the argument against HDTV owners suddenly wanting a 360/PS3, since they might just want to watch their DVDs and high def teevee shows.

So I dunno. I'm just not seeing the proof. I can see the links, just can't be convinced they are strongly connected at all times.
 
Well, I'm packed for the beach.

Gonna run out and get a new bathing suit since mine is kinda worn. That and some sunblock.

Then, come back, finish cleanign up my computer area, and make sure everything is off in the house.

If I have time I may try to program my new Harmony 676 remote. and Clean myt game section a bit.

(a) it's crazy to begin with... fucking psychopath is turning into a James Bond-esque villian more and more just like Hex was thinking.

(b) bastard only wants it because of gas/oil/diamonds apparently.

edit:
(c) who knows, but one could speculate that the execution of point (b) may end up speeding up the melting of the polar ice caps and all sorts of crazy ass environmental reprocussions.

That's one thing it the favor of ZOMG! GOTTA GET PS3! argument. 360, less so, as HD-DVD is a cheaper entry point than a 360 + HD-DVD drive add-on, though rental of TV shows in HD via XBLM is one thing in its favor.

I've pulled down a few shows to replace stuff I had my Tivo nuke due to space issues, and it looks great in 720p. Would I do it all the time? Nah, too expensive.

If I was replacing a TV, like Warner's been doing, then I'd get an HDTV to replace it, and make sure it did decent enough SD viewing. Which is why I went with the Olevia 537H I have. I have four TV's across my house I'll eventually need to replace and they'll all be HDTV's of some flavor, most likely LCD/SED of some type.

[quote name='Strell']Since so many people are talking about what they think about/see when they see the OTT title, I look at that "srorriM" and think "Morris," inevitably thinking to teenage heartthrob Zack Morris, who forever stole my heart in a flash of bad sweaters, gross huge white hightops, and terrible haircuts.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='corrosivefrost']Dude. I saw that too... but when I can only see the partial tab, all I get now is TTO... and I'm like TO? AGH! Run away![/QUOTE]

[quote name='Graystone']
When I first read it I thought it was written Russian.[/QUOTE]

These are all solid guesses as to the "true meaning" of the OTT title. I'm afraid that you all share the same problem of not thinking outside the box. You must delve deeper into the bizarre and twisted world of the title. I will give you the following clues so that you might be able to better understand it:

1. The title is written backwards? But why? Does this have something to do with a 90's rap group who wore their clothes backwards?
2. Zach Morris was a troublemaker by nature. What famous troublemaker shot John F. Kennedy?
3. Try re-arranging the letters and see what you can come up with. I got "loins are natures love" also "I heart muf".

Be warned. Many have dedicated their entires lives to deciphering the title, only to slowly descend into madness.

That's why I said 'not really' when you asked, since I figured you were looking in Dallas or something. :x

Now to watch Transporter 2. I don't expect a good movie (he's dual-wielding on the cover of the DVD :roll:) but hopefully it'll at least have a hearty amount of action.
