Had some fun today.

Stopped off at a truck stop to fill up on gas and grab a pack of smokes.

While at the gas pump, car pulls up to the pump on the other side of mine. Lady driver with a guy passenger.

Guy hops out of the car and heads into the store. Lady starts filling up and is visibly distressed. Almost in tears.

Me, being me, inquired what the problem was. She explained she only had $5 to use for gas and it had to last the rest of the week.

Without being asked, I offered to top off her tank from my fill up. She thanked me and accepted my offer.

While filling up their tank, guy returns and decided to take offense at my generosity. He inquires if I think he can't provide for his girlfriend and tells me he doesn't need my charity.

Still filling tank, I explain that it's no problem for me and I would really like to offer some help.

He throws a punch at me and clips me across the jaw.

Head snaps back, but I don't stagger at all. I've been punched many times before, and much harder than this fellow.

I remove pump handle from tank, point it at the young man, and spray his jeans and sneakers in gasoline.

He dances back, now sodden with very flammable fluid, as I remove my lighter from breast pocket of overalls.

I calmly return pump to gas tank and resume filling up their tank, all the while just staring at the would be pugilist. He keeps a far distance and remains silent.

Pump clicks on full, I remove handle, and return to my car to resume filling it up.

They leap into their car and leave rapidly.

Finish filling up my car, buy pack of smokes, and head into work.

It was a good start to the night.

Finally finished subtitling all this shit

 

fuck off

 

Hello everyone! Well, last week I was given access to Geit's supreme camera that had loads of fancy bells and whistles and I took a few photos - I thought it would be nice to have a showcase of what I took and see if other people have any photos they particularly like that they have taken!

Please use spoiler tags to make sure loading can be kept to a minimum!


Here's what I took:

I'm sure you've all got photos you're proud of - so let's see 'em!

EDIT: I also compressed the images in those shots so that they would load quickly - hence the slight distortion/ JPEG rape

 

Very useful application, it removes any redistributable packages (such as DirectX and .NET installers) found in the files of your Steam games.
