$500? But then I would have to pay it off every month!

Yeh - the fiscal responsibility of it all is a relentless reminder

You can adjust the amount to whatever you want though. Mine is $500 just because thats more than I ever spend online in a month and the least I could get.

I use one of those pre-paid cards for Internet purchases. It only costs $3.00 to load one, and anyone who tries to run amuck with it is going to be severely disappointed.

Stupid people.

Lil Lookout and some of his friends were playing airsoft wars yesterday and the big brothers were pounding on them so I took them all out to a spot we use for paintball and the like. This is the middle of the desert, literally a 30 minute hike to the nearest road. We have trenches, foxholes, and forts built in and around the base of the mountain there.

Picture kids ranging from 8-12 decked out in camouflage running around shooting the hell out of each other. I was playing too but I don't have the protective equipment the kids do so I was just wearing regular khaki type clothing, safety goggles, and a Shemagh* wrapped around my head and face so I wouldn't pelted on my bald head.

An older couple came out of the desert yelling at me. Apparently they had been hiking and thought they were witnessing some sort of "arab terrorist training". I looked at the kids all geared up and couldn't help laughing. The guy got really pissed when I laughed at him and asked what possible mission could I be training 20 midgets with toy guns for? Dumbass.

Met with a vendor this morning because I'm trying to evaluate pricing from a bunch of different competitors. He gave me his info, and a box filled with packs of jelly beans. Cool, right? Well these are gourmet beans, and about 2/3 of them are like earwax flavor or some various nasty shit like that. So I see a card in the box with pictures of all the different bean varieties. I go to read what the flavors are so I can avoid the nasty ones, and the inside of the card has some ad copy about how some surprises are fun, and some aren't, so go with these guys since they won't surprise you. And they never tell me how to identify the good jelly beans.

I'm tempted to blacklist them for making me eat crappy jelly bean flavors. But I won't.

edit: Wait, I just noticed they want me to go to their website to get the real list of jelly beans. That's even worse.
