Bring on the IQ based sterilisation, I say!

Looks like a classic case of cause and effect - P use must have been a prerequisite for that to happen.

I don't think this comes anywhere near Akane, Hyper, or Moo's self-ownage. I still haven't worked out who is looking the stupidest here... probably Reformed_Quint.

Luse · 11th February 2004, 16:45

Just to clarify,

I am _not_ the father of said foetus.

also where are these other self ownage threads?

the cellphonage of 50fatchicks in the BSE forum comes close....
(and its sorta related to this... lol all 'round though)

The best part is that no-one had even mentioned uberpc until she came stumbling in to 'defend' them.

This thread could easily have just fallen into obscurity, but instead we recieve confirmation that uberpc is run by squabbling children. When will people learn.

I too will add this to my list of 'do not buy from' sites.

Reformed_Quint · 11th February 2004, 17:13

I can't be bothered reading all of that. To be honest.

And why did u have to take it to a personal level? hmm?

But anyway, Whatever.

One problem, the motherboard was lent with 256mb of SDram there is only 128mb in it.

I will be coming around to pick up the 128mb at a latter date.

Thank you for ur cooperation.

I wasn't the one who began this hostility. The first time we knew he wanted it back, his exact words were "give it back or i'll break your hands."

It's a dark and stormy night in Whangarei. InDarkDesire and her crew are busy working at home, updating their website. She turns around to the guys and says "I've decided on our slogan. It's going to be 'You're #1 supplier of IT products & services.'"

She turns back to log on to an internet forum, but she is interrupted by a roar up the driveway. She scrambles to the window, and for a split-second as a burst of lightning flashes in the sky she sees the fearsome profile of an old-school Supra, silhouetted against a backdrop of rusty junk, car skeletons and goats, working it's way up the torturous path to her front door.

"Chuck me those binoculars, and HURRY."

Drawing the instrument to her eye, she zooms in and involuntarily gasps - she has identified the Supra by it's particular pattern of corrosion, rust and missing parts. It's Quint. And he's not alone.

The Supra effortlessly eats up the remaining distance, and before she knows it the car has screeched to a halt outside her door.

The crew inside hurriedly pick up tools from the bench to defend themselves, and before InDarkDesire extinguishes the lights a defiant glint enters her eye. "I'm not going to let him push me around any longer. I won’t take orders from him. He's just a customer."

But even her steely resolve is broken when two sets of car doors slam outside, and loud footsteps crunch on the gravel.

"He's just a customer. He's just a customer"

Crunch Crunch.

"He's just a customer. He's just a customer"

Crunch Crunch

"He's just a customer. He's just a customer"

Crunch Crunch

And for a few seconds, there is silence. The bush is preternaturally quiet, with the wildlife outside holding their breaths in anticipation of the confrontation to come.

InDarkDesire exhales slowly as she surveys the door. "Thank God. Maybe he's decided to leave."
With a scream of metal twisting in ways that it was never meant to be twisted, the door burst inwards, off it's hinges and into the crouched form of InDarkDesire. As she is sent sprawling by the impact, the intruders turn on the lights. In the harsh glare of the fluorescent tubes, her friends can see that she is wounded, and before she can react, one of them hurls a cheap 'n' nasty generic 300w power supply at the intruders. True to form, it blows up, but they stand seemingly unaffected.

She forces herself to stand up, ignoring the excruciating pain in her side. Putting on a desperate air of bravado she says, "Quint. Sep. Urgent warranty issue?"

Quint takes two strides forward and stops just shy of her. As he looks down, a cruel smile plays about his lips and he says "Give it back, or I'll break your hands."

"Like hell you will" she throws back at him, and as her assistants stand by her side she tenses, ready to fight. She curls her lip and glares at him. "I won't let you destroy my life's work, Quint."

The smile returns to his lips as he retorts softly, "And how exactly are you going to stop me?"

She clenches her fists and says "Like this."

<cue thrash muzak>

Her right hand a blur of motion, InDarkDesire throws a punch at Quint’s shoulder that, had it landed, would have shattered bone. But Quint is no longer there as he almost casually leans out of the way of the punch and throws a snap kick to her face. She staggers back, momentarily stunned as she gathers her senses. In what seems like slow motion, her allies throw various pieces of computer componentry at Sep, who is advancing towards them with a bland expression on his face. Keyboards, speakers, even midi-tower cases – Sep manages to duck, jump and otherwise evade them all, his progress seemingly unimpeded by the torrent of peripherals thrown at him.

They would have to look after themselves. Snapping her head back around to Quint, she extended her arm at him and beckoned with her hand…”Come get some.”

Reformed_Quint · 11th February 2004, 17:56
