Yup, couldn't find a kung fu movie thread. His old post was the most relevant in the ramble thread. :bigtu:

I happened to be searching through some old posts, and came across this from 2010:





I feel that a follow-up is justified:


Shortly after posting that, I managed to obtain a copy of the original via Inter-Library Loan, from a library in Berkeley, CA. (Yes, ILL still exists.) I spent the better part of a week's worth of evenings sitting on the sofa, watching Battlestar Galactica, with my flatbed scanner in my lap, my old laptop to my right and a rum & coke to my left, scanning the entire thing into .TGA files, which I then hand-cropped and compiled into a PDF. I printed a copy of the PDF (thank you, duplex printer at work) and took it to Kinkos to have it spiral-bound as a gift to the person who had recommended it to me, who had also been unable to find a copy for himself.


I have decided to make that PDF publicly available, because fuck Variant Press right in the goat-hole. Here's the link:

I did, in fact, purchase a hard-bound of the second edition for $21 shortly after its release. And it's a good thing, because a new copy, today, sells for $2,799.99 (plus $3.99 shipping.)

Yup. Two thousand, seven hundred and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents, for a book published seven years ago. That's nearly a whole months' rent for my previous apartment on the upper-east side.

I ain't shitting you:

This book is consistently proving to be even weirder than the history of Commodore itself.

Team shirts came in.

Lol

Like a trip down memory lane.

I'm no longer certain that Richard Hammond is mortal.

Can we at least agree that we would never ride shotgun with him?

I went and got engaged last week.

It was a 2.5 hour drive to work this morning from my girl's house. Ugh.

While everyone else seems to be ignoring you, congrats! Is there an MKTurbo for the future misses? Pink maybe like that woman sales org. Plastidipped 6ULs...

Thanks. Probably no miata for her any time soon. She has a crappy old Kia that she is going to keep driving until it is dead. Then will get my Mazda2 most likely and i'll goto a ND.

Lars, don't you have like 7 miatas? I'm sure she'll be able to drive at least one occasionally.

Congrats!

Also congrats. I'll likely be asking mine by the end of the year or sometime next. But we can't get married for awhile. She's finishing up her degree so my income would preclude her from additional financial assistance.

Congrats larzzzzz

Congrats!

Hahaha he thinks he'll get the new car and she'll get the hand-me-down hahaha; I kind of remember this logic from before I was married.
Edit: And Congrats! Even though she gets the new car and I get the old car, married life is dandy.

Congrats! You could get her a cat! ;)

Congratulations!
