NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I got the dreaded RROD on my Elite

It was bought in 2008, so at least I'm covered.

I'm away for a week now, so I won't even be able to send it for a week yet! Ug.... I don't know what I'm going to do... maybe see if I can borrow my bro's 360 when I get back next week.

New ARG - frenziedwaters.com

This seems like a pretty cool ARG which has you finding very cool "aged" jars containing items relating to shark attacks. Seems to be a promotion for the upcoming Shark Week on the Discovery Channel.

Instead of reiterating what I already typed out, please see this forum topic in our Off Topic forums:

Slurpee Capital of the World - again!

This is just crazy, apparently my city (Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada) is the Slurpee Capital of the World for the 10th straight year! (well according to 7-11 sales). Here's a news article from my local newspaper:

http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/10-years-of-brain-freeze-were-no-1-slurpee-sippers-again-50347352.html

quote: "Specific numbers aren't available, but Winnipeg sold 20 per cent more Slurpees than Calgary, which finished second. Southwest Detroit placed third."

What makes this extremely crazy is that Slurpee sales remain good throughout the year, including the winters where it is commonly as cold as -30'C (-22'F) and even as cold as -40'C (-40'F)! How do people even want to drink a slushy cold drink in those conditions? LOL.

I was a multi-visit per day patron of my local 7-11 in my high school days (it was a 5 min walk away from the school), but I was more of a Super Big Gulp guy rather than a Slurpee guy.

Good DEED for the day

Just got back from donating blood! This is the 24th time I've done such a thing, one away from a milestone, lol! I think they give out a special pin at 15.

You know what gets me? After all these donations, I'm still nervous as hell when I am waiting there for the needle (more like straw!) to be inserted into my arm. It almost never hurts or feels uncomfortable, but still, there I am, shaking like a little puppy in a thunderstorm, lol. What's up with that?

I also do my best to never, ever, ever make eye contact with the needle again. I did that once, and I swear I seen clean through the hole to the other side. Thing looked like a straw. I told the nurse to hold on and give me a few seconds first, lol.

Tonight was supposed to be "arm" night at the gym with my bro... I think I will have to change that up to legs, don't want to start rebleeded all over the place. I'll have to also take it easy on the cardio afterwards too. They say not to do anything strenuous for 6 to 8 hours afterward... I'll be in that range when I go to the gym, so I "should" be okay.

+++++

Also, it seems voting is browser cookie based and not IP-based, so you can vote on each of the web browsers you may have on you computer! (Firefox, IE, Chrome, Safari, etc). Wish I would have thought of that earlier! Would have added like 5x as many votes just from me alone!

I should find out tomorrow morning who the winner is. I will post when I find out!
