Can't make the game tonight. I have no electricity at the house, so we have a real mess going on. Can't leave the wife to deal with it alone. Got to throw out a couple of hundred dollars of groceries..... yah!

Catch you guys next week.... if they have it fixed by then.

don't worry about it i was going .

S'alright Bubbles. We'll get you next time.

Shatzer - Just let me know what I owe ya' for my part of the campsite fees, and somethin' for gas money, and I'll get that to you Monday. You too for the gas, Farva, even if you can't post. Just come up with a number.

Really Sorry I didn't come out guys, but I forgot I had to work at the store.

I'd say you're gonna' have to call Microsoft, then.

Use the "Register by Phone..." button, and pack a lunch. It usually takes a while on hold to get through.

I wiped the drive before I reinstalled

Windows XP, right?


You'll probably need to call that phone number that it pops up on the screen with the error message and register over the phone. If it has been used too many times, or your hardware has changed too much since the last install you'll often get an error.

Or it's entirely possible that one of the many digital diseases your system was infected with stole your CD-Key. Your system was dirtier than the toilet seat in a public restroom of a Portuguese Brothel. If that key had been spread around on a few too many pirated installs, the key just gets disabled.

If they make you fax a copy of the original media and key to them, I've got a copier and a fax machine here at the hotel I can let you use.


BTW- you did choose the option to reformat the drive before you did the re-install, right? Just installing over top of what you had will fix the system files and may get it "working" again, but may still leave a lot of nasty crap on your HD.

Well I reinstalled Windows and its working fine now. BUT when I try to register it says my code thats on my computer is wrong and I've checked and retried the code many times and still the same thing, any ideas what I should do?

That rocked the Casbah.

Your welcome. It was really fun. Hope your computer is doing well.

That was awesome guys. Thanks John and Jeremy for setting it up and what not.

Gee I don't know sounds kinda cool to me........ bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


ps: Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Okay, so... I just dropped $5 on a new Kung-Fu DVD. Because I like the classic 1970s Hong Kong Kung-Fu films, damnit.

The DVD case had a picture on the front of Jack Long (Sai Ga) and Mark Long (Goon Mo). Two actors who have done some great work in some other Wu-Tang titles I've seen.

The case reads "Stars Jack and Mark Long do battle once again...!"

I'm sold. I watched it tonight at work.

Apparently the company that sells these DVDs really doesn't care what movie they put *inside* the box. (They're all pretty much the same anyway, really.) The Longs were not actually in this movie anywhere that I could find, and if they were in it somewhere (maybe hiding behind a potted plant) they never actually did battle.

All of the photographs on the cover and back of the DVD case... were not actually in the movie. Anywhere. The fights pictured are apparently from some *other* kung-fu film, which actually starred these two. And where they must have fought.

No, this was a different movie. Which featured a 12-year-old and her grandfather fighting vampires. Now, this could also be cool, until you remember that these aren't the Bram Stoker vampires,. These are chinese vampires. Which, if you aren't familiar with these vampires:

The requirement to be a Chinese Vampire is a robe, a silly red hat, and you have to hop like a bunny. (All Chinese Vampires hop. Supposedly from rigor mortis- since they can't move their arms or legs, they all have to move in a stiff bounce.) These vampires also have big wax fangs. Huge wax fangs. Like walrus tusks.

It is hard to be an intimidating villian when you hop everywhere. It isn't going to happen. I don't care how hardass your kung-fu is.

It does get better from here, though. Really. The "Labyrinth of Death" (the name of the movie) is a maze made from white bedsheets. Vampires are killed and "poof" into plastic bats and spiders. The movie ends with a Power Ranger style battle versus monsters in big foam suits, complete with pewpew lazerbeams.

So, basically... this kinda' sucked. But not in the good way.

Wahoo this Saturday is the LAN party at the Best Western!!!!!! I've been working on stuff for the LAN all day today. I'm so psyched.

So roll call who is going to make it?

Oh yeah don't let me forget to bug Dan and Sean about it if I see them.

ps: Doesn't farve have Dan and Sean's phone numbers?

Allright, I'll try to get ahold of sean and dan. but apparently they havnt been around the store in awhile so im not sure if I'll be able to.

We are having a game this Monday at Jeremy's place. Please spread the word.

ps: It is Farve's turn, so I guess it is his game.
