It's Personal...

I've heard from my friends that roll their own that they can find tastier tobacco than what's pre-rolled. Personally, I think cigarettes are foul and I won't put them in or around my mouth. Cigars and pipes at least taste pleasant...

Ted, you realize that a lot of self-rollers use pipe tobacco, right?

In England its a lot cheaper to self-roll cigarettes than buy them. Is it cheaper to self-roll worldwide?

I did not. Then again, I was excluding the majority of the self-rollers I know because they use something else...

Ah, the people I've seen just use pipe tobacco, frequently flavoured pipe tobacco.

Parthenon: most likely. I haven't priced it out though.

You know your nominally communist nation has gone horribly wrong when "better than American" is the goal for your public health care.

It used to be cheaper to hand roll here, but recent tax hikes on tobacco products across the board ruined that. Last I checked, Indian Reservations and military bases were the cheapest places to buy cigarettes.

I kicked the habit almost six years ago, so I could be way off.

Today was a good day.

See, this is the first week of college football season.

My dad and I don't agree on much these days--he thinks Obama's a Muslim and the Antichrist, Rush Limbaugh is trustworthy, and Mitt Romney's a good guy, and I disagree--but we both like football. So it was nice to spend a few hours with him not bickering about junk and just cheer together and make jokes about players and such.

It also helps that Alabama won their game by a biiiig margin.

One week before I leave. The roomates have changed the password to the internet to cut me out. Dicks.

On the plus side, I have about $200 more than I thought. That will help. A lot.

Meh, so long as you have a laptop, just hit the nearest starbucks. Free wifi, and you can get a rewards card that'll give you free refills.

If you don't have a laptop, take your desktop, don't take up too much space, and if anyone looks at ya funny, just explain that your roommates are a bunch dickmunchers.

Libraries, hospitals, and McDonald's are also great for free wifi.

Maxus · Post by **Maxus** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 3:11 am

Some college campuses, too.

Every day, take the router and hide it somewhere about the house. Get more and more inventive as you go along - combining revenge* (an exercise in frustration for them) with your own personal entertainment.

In other news, it was Father's Day on Sunday (in Australia, that is). It was just kind of weird not being able to celebrate it with Dad. But there's plenty of family we could celebrate with - my stepfather, and my remaining grandfather.

*I'm not sure this qualifies as cold, but whatever. There are plenty of sweet things that can be served hot.

If you want to be really fucked up. Just reset the router and then setup a new password. *THEN* hide the router.

There are other nasty tricks that can be played using routers.

Ted the Flayer · Post by **Ted the Flayer** » Tue Sep 04, 2012 11:31 am

The router is in one of the roommate's rooms. He is unemployed and never leaves his room. If you are wondering how he pays bills, he doesn't. And I don't own a laptop.

I have considered finding out the name of his baby's mother and letting her know where his useless child-support dodging ass is hiding.

Sounds fair and reasonable.

I'm an evil bastard, and I support this message.

Those cases are typically public records (as opposed to stuff like adoptions, which are sealed), so the only tricky part would be figuring out which county she filed in. Once you have the county, finding the case is easy (unless he has 243987 other suits against him), and the court papers should have her name and address (as of when she filed, anyway). The easiest first step is to head down to the local county courthouse and have them run a search on his name, see what turns up.

I thought there was an alcohol thread, but I can't find it. Anyway... Today I tried Wild Blue, a blueberry lager. It was surprisingly good.

Van Gogh makes some awesome flavored vodkas and gins. PBJ and double espresso vodka are awesome. This coming from someone who hates vodka.

Stink bombs are cheaper than flash bangs. I agree with Maj, this actually is a good thing rather than being an evil bastard.

Is it actually his kid, or is she merely saying it is? It's probably the former, given how scummy he sounds, but yeah.
