Nothing like hearing your town mentioned on The Weather Channel as having serious damage and injuries from a tornado touchdown. :-/

And more on the way? Hooray! Our cars need more hail damage before we call Geico.

I don't know if I'd find an answer in the how-to section for such a question, so I'll ask it here:

I have an .mpg file that is 2.91 GB and I'd like to split it in half. How would I go about doing that? I may have a program already that'll do it, but I'm not sure.

Something tells me I'm gonna beat the shit out of my sister's husband before too long.

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

For being an idiot, or a jerk?

I would forgive him for being an idiot. He is a bullshitter, a dumbass, an asshat, a douchebag, and a pompous wanker.

He hinders more than he helps. He sits on his ass all day, and talks about how hard of a worker he is. Then he lies all the time. He essentially talks about how much badass shit he has done in his life, when the amount of time I see him on his ass makes me doubt it.

Then when I talk about something I am highly educated in, he jumps in like he knows what I am talking about, and says stupid shit that doesn't even make logical sense. When you call him out on something, he'll swear up and down he is right.

He talks about how tech savvy he is, yet every-time he touches something, I have to fix it.

I have been nice to him all I can, to keep harmony with my sister, but I am at the point were I see red when I hear his voice.

My parents both hate him, but he uses my niece as his anchor. The reason they moved in, is because he is a piece of shit who is too good to work, and my sister needs to go to school.

True story.

When the child of a friend was still very little he used perform his party piece.

His dad would ask him "What noise does a doggy make?" and he would go "woof woof" and he would then do the same for a variety of animals (cats, sheep, ducks etc) and finally he would as him "What noise does does Tom Waits make?" and he would go "grrrrrrgrrrrrrgrrrrrrrrgrrrrrrrgrrrrrr!".

Sad to hear about James Arness.

While rather handsome and best remembered as the other Matt Dillon he will always be my favorite vampire carrot.

With my first Victoria's Secret paycheck in hand (figuratively speaking, because we have those stupid-ass pay cards that I'm desperately hoping I will have done away with by next pay cycle), I went out and bought (even though I really can't afford it):

The Beatles in Mono boxset!

I am so excited.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

This is the second job in a row I've worked at that has had them or switched to them. They basically open you a checking account, give you a kinda-sorta-debit/credit card, and deposit all of your money into it. There are a bunch of silly rules to use it, and they give you a few checks that you have to call to activate so you can cash money for yourself. There are fees if you use it a certain way. Fuck that. I already have a checking account, and since all of my bills are set to automatically be withdrawn from that, I'd rather have my money go into THAT account. The only people I could possibly see benefitting from such a system are young teenagers who don't have bank accounts and need a way to easily keep track of their earnings. Otherwise, it's not only pointless, it's needlessly complicated. I refuse to work with it.
