Author Topic: Happy F***ing Easter Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-28-2005 07:55 AM                     I hope everyone had a better Easter than I did. I spent mine alone. Long story, wife took kids and moved back to Florida last week. It was a beautiful day here on Easter, so I decided to wash the Vette. After it was clean, I decided to take the tops off and drive around. When I was setting the first top down in the garage, the corner of it "barely" touched the concrete. It sounded like a shotgun blast as the whole top exploded in my hand. I shoulda gone to church instead! Then at night i was watching TV and in the middle of my movie, the set goes blank. The cable box freaked out. Started flashing #'s on the display. Not a big deal, because the cable company will replace, but I missed part of my movie bypassing the box!

Sweet!!! Sorry to hear about your bad day, but trust me, it could've been worse. Much, much worse! Perhaps we should let everyone present things that could have happened to you instead of what really did on this thread?  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper!

Then as you're laying on the floor smoking rabid dogs from the film Resident Evil come to life and leap through your living room window and...I think I got a little too far on that one. Let's just say...Your car could've died twice coming out of the driveway as mine did yesterday.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-28-2005 06:38 PM                     quote: Jeremy Fuentes You could have gotten hit in the nuts playing football!!

Now loosing that vette top wasn't so bad was it . Mark P.S. Definately sorry about the wife and kids.... that is indeed a sad thing. Did she not like Omaha?.... Was it the Wood Men Building?  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-28-2005 07:54 PM                        quote: Mark Gulbrandsen Wood Men Building It's Woodman Tower.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-28-2005 08:28 PM                     I'd really rather think of it as Jack's old office.....
