NorthSideSox72 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 QUOTE(Soxy @ Oct 8, 2007 -> 08:55 PM) Woohoo! I'm going to go see Tori Amos on Saturday! She is fun in concert. My wife took me to go see her a while back when she played in the bandshell in Millenium Park, and I ended up liking it, even though I'm not terribly into her music.

I didn't see any listed on her website so. . .I just love her songs, they're so honest. Now the only currently touring act I really need to see is Bob Dylan. And then I think I can be happy.

sox4lifeinPA Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Ebay is so lame... I sold a bunch of junk, literally. And now I have someone giving me negative feedback because I clearly stated that I had no idea if the item worked. He complained there weren't batteries, which I never said there were nor did he ask. People expect EVERYTHING on ebay to be in amazing shape and to be a steal. An auction/digital yardsale is never a guarantee, unless you ask questions and then you avoid the bad deals anyway. am I a bad person for selling things that I didn't want and didn't know if it worked? one man's junk is another man's treasure, right? what a jagoff.

I've had a bunch of great experiences too, everyonce and a while you get a hyperactive crazy person that is unrealistic. seriously...I was selling minidisc player from like 1997. he won it for 5 bucks.

So please bow your heads in a moment of silence to remember that sad little misunderstood cat. Half of him is in a better place....half is in a tightly closed trash bag outside the house.

Gregory Pratt Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 (edited) I dropped a perfectly structured, perfectly put 178 word sentence on my Poli-Sci professor in a "B+" paper I wrote. It was a B+ paper because I had an 80 word sentence in there at one point and a 178 word sentence, both of which were perfectly sound sentences but which betrayed the fact that I didn't edit as well as I could've or should've. (I wrote a seven page paper in four hours.) It was a happy day. I got a big kick out of it when he said, "Dude, it's a fine sentence, but it's unnecessary!" Not in those words, of course. And then when I counted the words, I fell in love. I also recently wrote a 113 word sentence for a non-academic venture.
