did they give you what they said they would. no, ask for your money back. tell them why. . then ask louder and louder. they will, 1 call the cops. 2 give you your money back. missed that pic. even the part where obama goes nuts with fear and the army has to take over.

I have a few questions for dilbert. (1) What points were you trying to get across by writing this blog? (2) Who is your audience? (3) What led you to write this blog? (4) What does this blog reveal about you? If there are any other discussions that you would love to discuss, that would be great. I am writing a paper on this blog and I need some help from you if you don't mind. I would greatly appreciate it. My e-mail address is Nathleen04@gmail.com. Thanks a bunch!

...the only guy in the world without a phone... lol. I don't have one either, (I'm almost 27) but the conversation sounded exactly like something that would have gone on. (Actually it sounds a lot like most of the conversations I have when I am away from the house and call home). Sorry you didn't get a better seat. That sucks, too, being stuck on a far end where you're looking at a acute diagonal, unable to discern anything on the screen. Been there, done that. At least you made it, I guess... It sounds like you're going to have to go again, just so you can arrive earlier and get a better seat.

a coworker sent me a url to a review of that movie that compared it to "Howard the Duck"... Howard the Duck - man, that's just cold...

You should definitely go through your placed calls list, and call the mother back and ask her what was in the God-damn dryer, and tell her to get her son some AAA or at least jumper cables for his next B-day... and get you one of those cardboard life-size cut-outs' of Megan Fox. You done good, you should always stop to help someone in need. That kid may have ended up chopped into little pieces and mailed back to his mother by some maniac if you had not offered to provide him with your cell phone. You saved his life. Think about it. Now stop thinking about it. And stop reading...

Did you just purchase a Fudruckers, or a Gamestop, perchance?

Hmmmmm....So many memories! Let's see...the one that stands out the most is the time I told my father I was going to call the police and have him charged with child abuse for being an unmitigated jerk. (This was the early '80s when it was still legal for parents to BE unmitigated jerks.) A few seconds later, I saw stars and was on the floor in a senseless heap after being clocked by a right roundhouse from my Mother. (Mom got strong from working on the farm. "Yes, Virginia! People do live on farms! It's where food comes from!") For a moment...just a brief moment...I had a vision of this kid in the iMax parking lot being sent flying by a right cross from my mother: ""MOM!!!! CAN YOU PLEASE PUT DAD ON THE PHONE!!!!" <> (I am well aware of the impossibility of hitting someone through a cell phone. I was thinking about what would happen to this kid when he walked into my house circa 1980 after getting a jump from AAA.) Of course, Mom really would go to jail on child abuse charges then. SIGH.....What happened to the days when you could legally clock your kids? Perhaps I'm regressing and longing for the "Good Ole Days"? Anyone seen my subscription to "Reminisce" magazine???

In addition to having cables, just say your phone's battery is near-dead, or your service wasn't working, or the roaming charges are insane. Once it's clear you're more trouble than you're worth, he'll move on to someone else. Who these days doesn't at least have basic AAA service and a phone card, at least, if they don't have a cell phone?

Kudos for you for being nice. Here's a link to the only frame in the movie you might have enjoyed seeing. http://static.blogo.it/gossipblog/meganfoxtransformers2.jpg Rest of the movie was all motion blur.

Scott's brains seem to have frozen after watching the noisiest movie ever. Hasn't posted anyting since last few days. I remember long time back, I saw a movie about spaceships fighting each other. Lots of lazers and lights flashing and noise all over the place. By the time it ended I was in a sort of a trance. Somehow managed to drive back home without hitting something or someone. And next morning, try as I might, I just could not remember anything about the drive back home or where I had parked the car the previous night. My brain was so fogged. Has anybody experienced anything like this?

Scott - I can assure you that you didn't miss anything. I had a perfectly good (and very expensive) seat to see this movie and I still couldn't understand what the hell is going on. There seems to be a new trend to make action so fast that people eyeballs explode trying to track what is going on. Also someone should tell those Hollywood jerks that the Pyramids are nowhere near the Gulf of Aqaba! Idiots.

People who drive without cell phones and/or roadside assistance should ALWAYS carry jumper cables and instant tire inflating foam. And make sure the spare tire is actually inflated. You should have seen the look on the face of the guy driving the shiny BMW when I stopped to help him put on his spare (didn't even know where to look for it, let alone how to put it on!)...only to find it was flat, too. But his face sure lit up when I dug out my little 12V air compressor. To this day he's probably never told anyone he was helped out by a girl.

Actually all i have to say is, "What was in the dryer?" Everything else makes unfortunate good sense. (I'm missing something, aren"t i?)

Okay, I saw the movie yesterday with my kids, and I refuse to believe that you were able to sleep through that. It was a pretty good movie, the plot was more than a little stretched, but it was good. And of course, Megan Fox was HOT!! Can't wait for the third movie. Oh, and the reason Dad wasn't home is he was tired of listening to Mom and is sitting in his car in front of Boston Pizza.

Carpe Geekem; Scott is a geek but ironically has terrible luck with all sorts of technology. If he had jumper cables, they would probably end up wrapped around his neck somehow.

I also fell asleep in the Transformers movie. Because it sucked. I dreamed of exploding hot pants that trasformed into guns and the guns became legs that ran around yelling and exploding. Or something like that. My dream was much better than the movie.

I think the father is in the dryer. I do like Fudruckers, we have one right next to an IMAX theatre also, but no Gamestop. Perhaps it was a ploy to pick up your Blackberry number on his home phone caller ID. Any crank calls recently?
