Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

ita, you and I appear to have the same kind of problems.

A movie might make flying Southwest bearable.

Nonian, I have anywhere between 500-700 CDs, plus about 8 gigs of music on my laptop. Do I listen to it all? Hardly, because I only have a 3 disc changer in the house, and so far it's been a PITA to put on my HD. 40 gigs may not even be enough if I want to store it all.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I have about 6600 songs on my 40 GB iPod. I rip everything to mp3, and I'm not happy with the sound quality at 128 kbps so I use VBR that averages about 195 kbps. I think I'll be able to fit a little more than 7000 songs on it (not the 10,000 that Apple says, because of the higher bitrate).

The iPod photo has a 60 GB drive. Rumor has it that we'll see an 80 GB iPod this year.

Trust my rage

Maria - I lied earlier. I still have a few dozen CDs that I haven't put on the iPod yet because I rarely listen to them. However, as I have been ripping them, I've been putting on only the songs I actually would listen to in the future. I've got a bunch of music where I bought the entire CD because it was the only way to get the one song I liked.

yep. This is me. There are albums where I only rip one song in.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I just get fed-up with agressive panhandlers who demand that I stop and talk to them. Also don't like the panhandlers who threaten to kill me because I didn't give them money.

I had a drunken/inarticulate guy shamble up to me at Overton Square last night asking if I could help him out with a meal. I briefly flirted with the idea of handing him the half-full Doritos bag from my car, but I'm pretty sure it would have been littering the street before I made it to the end of the block.

There was a day back in the fall when I got hit up by panhandlers SIX TIMES in an afternoon, including once in line at the checkout stand in a grocery store. I just barely avoided giving that last one a lecture about him having working limbs that could lift stuff, dig ditches, etc.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My wallet shall hold all of you responsible for the pain I'm about to inflict upon it.
