Well, I believe I have just experienced the flipside of the old story of the car breaking down the day after my warranty expires. The old (read: nearly two years) iPod has cacked. The good news? My warranty expires next Saturday.
Merry Christmas, Paras. Sure you're iPod-less for two weeks, but getting it fixed is free!

I'm too lazy to write up something new. So if you got the email, it doesn't matter; your complaints of duplication have fallen on deaf ears (besides, I've bolded the important bit):
So, no doubt many of you are wondering, how can I make the most of gorgeous [insert weather forecast here] weather we're going to have this Saturday afternoon?
Well, you may sleep well tonight, friends, knowing that a way out of your dilemma has been found! It's a little-known game called hockey (rhymes with tick-tockey, I believe).
Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to...
All right, bullshit aside, this Saturday (the 23rd of December), at 2:00 we shall be playing hockey on the street, putting a new twist on a classic game, as it were. The location is in front of the old Gauthier place. (Which is, of course, at 4119 - 126 Street.)
Now, if you wish to partake, I need a tiny favour from you (well, maybe two). First off, let me know if you can make it (and if you're convincing other enthusiastic friends who I have disgracefully left off of my email list to make it).
More importantly, though, I'd like to know whether you have any sort of goaltending equipment (specifically pads, blocker, glove.) We've taken care of goalsticks and the nets, but we're in need of the other goalie equipment. (Also, I guess, on the same front, if you have extra sticks, or if you need a stick, let me know as well; perhaps some matching can be done on that front.)
If you need more info,
Thanks, all, and hope to see many of you Saturday afternoon.
(Oh, and Al, incidentally, I don't have your email address (well, except the old ualberta one.) Wanna email me the new one? Thanks)

I'd surely chip in a cool million to see that thing run around destroying things for 4 minutes.

Yeah, Al, I know, but it costs about 250 000 adena per minute to run that fucker. Someday, though.

haha, know what's even more awesome? this isn't the first time they've done stupid stuff. i asked the guy if their, um, chick peas had green beans in them (because i'm allergic to them, and my allergies keep getting worse and worse), only the guy didn't even know what green beans were! he kinda stirred up the food and said he didn't think there were any, then sold me some only for me to discover upon opening the styro container that there were green beans right on top.
how do you not know what green beans are??
and doubly important, how do you not know what's in your food?

My sister would have a field day with this blatant display of lack of food safety. Sounds like time for a law suit or something.
