Step 1: buy bookcase
Step 2: put bookcase together
Step 3: put books/dvds into said bookcase
Step 4: realize halfway through Step 3 that 2 side sections of said bookcase were put together backwards
Step 5: unleash massive amounts of profane words
Step 6: take apart bookcase, go back to Step 2

Try lugging a pinball machine up 3 flights of stairs. That was swear-inducing. Had to take the backboard off so I could get a handhold to lift the darn thing.

The little holes where the shelf support pegs go are on the outside of two of the sides, instead of inside. That's my bad. The instructions suck, though, because if you follow them, you can't put the bookcase together correctly anyway. The base of the bookcase sticks out/has a lip. According to the instructions, the front of the bookcase should be face down when putting it together.

However, that leaves it unlevel, which makes screwing the shelves together very difficult. So you have to improvise a little and ignore some of the instructions. :rolleyes:

Besides, half the instructions are in Korean, and another third in Spanish.

I remember putting together an entertainment center and dropping part of it on my feet. Many nice words were said there, too.

I'm never EVER getting an entertainment center again. EVER. Had a semi-decent one, once, a couple apts ago. We tried to move it. Yeah, THAT went well. Got it from the living room to the door in about half-hour (it was rather large and heavy) and ended up cracking the side of it. I said eff it, we're breaking it apart and dumping it (it was one of those ones where once it's taken apart, you are not putting it back together anyway).

I'll stick with a simple tv stand and multiple bookcases/cd-dvd racks thankyouverymuch.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Mine made it from my old living room to the house. Once my TV fell out of it (I got the bright idea to move the whole thing at once, all ~300 pounds or so), I wound up with a plasma on the wall and no use for the thing. Somehow I got it into a bedroom, and I have no idea how I'm going to get it out of there.

You know what makes great bookcases, tables, and stands? Returnable beer cases.......and getting enough of them to build furniture is at least 97% of the fun. :D

Returnable beer cases? What type of crazy old man talk is that?

What the ****. It is still 106 degrees out. I spent a total of 10 hours in cars, airplanes and in airports and 6 more on my feet in a test cell that was triple digits. This place is pure hell. But its a dry heat! ****ing bull****.

Can I call you "Sandy" from now on?
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 137: Counting the long summer days

Hey, Brent...
Will Chez Rube be open Friday night?
We're not sure when we'll be able to leave, but it could be in enough time to make the bar. If so, we need a place to crash.
The way things go for us, though, it probably won't matter. He'll probably be stuck at work much later than we want.

Yes it is. bbdl/MNS are crashing here already, so we can just leave from here on Sat morning. And if you get to the bar after us, no problem there, either. Cab it back with us, and we can drive you to get your car the next morning; it's on the way anyways.

"Dry heat" just means you're being baked instead of fried.

Question: what is the correct spelling for "spick", the racial slur?
Click to expand...
Spic, spick, spik, spig, or spigotty
(U.S) a. a person of Hispanic descent, or a person of actual or presumed Puerto Rican origin whether or not of Hispanic descent. Use of the word is often perceived as extremely offensive if used by a person not of Latino descent in any context. Origin uncertain. First recorded use in 1915. Theories include from "no spik English" (and spiggoty from the Chicano no speak-o t'e English), but common belief is that it is an abbreviation of "Hispanic" b. the Spanish language.[174] In the UK this term is more commonly used towards people of Italian/Mediterranean descent rather than Hispanics.

In other news...why do people comment on 3 year old youtube videos? I posted a video I recorded of prince fielder hitting a double and chone figgins getting a hit at the metrodome for the hell of it...3 years ago and now I had duecebags commenting on the chone video talking about how much he sucks now and complaining so I asked why on earth they would vent their retarded frustrations in the comment section of my video and I was told "Because 3 years ago he was a star who now all has is memories like this to reflect back on the better part of his career, you dumbass fucking prick."
