CubanJJ09 · 08-11-2009, 02:51 PM

pretty boring day at work until i get into my car to leave. i see a warning on the display, i think fuck me. its a yellow sprocket type gear. im like wtf is this, i rtfm and it says the gear selector is stuck in the park postion. im suppose to peel back the shifter boot and underneath is a button to overide the lock. so me being lazy i turn off the car, then turn it back on and presto its unlock. then i get a service engine soon light. goddamn i think. so whatever, i call up westmont and leave a message with the SA. as im about to hang up i get a text message from my brother who was leaving work just behind me and says "you know your missing your tow hook cover right?" godamn fucking dammit. then im almost home and im cruising at about 70mph and theres a big piece of fucking something in the road that pops up right in front of me. me not knowing (nor wanting to find out) what it is, i swerve around it and the tires a screeeeaming while the dtc is going off. pretty sure i yelled oh shit but cant remember. good thing there wasnt anyone next to me or i would of fucking destrooooyed my car, cause i laned changed fast and hard as a sum-o-bitch. so now off i go to the stealer and hopefully it isnt anything big.

on the plus side i need some washerfulid. ha........ fuck me

hahahah fuck man, thats just a shitty day

CubanJJ09 · 08-11-2009, 04:05 PM

Fuckn bullshit. Anyone got any ideas. Need a fuckin tow hook cover in montego blue. They want $100

ragingclue · 08-11-2009, 04:19 PM

Wow that sucks Lady GaGa's schlong.

No ideas on the tow hook cover, but you might have a tranny issue (no pun intended, I swear).

Those tow hook covers are a bitch. I spot glued mine on after reading about others having theirs fall off and how expensive they were to replace for being a little piece of shitty plastic.

Thome and Konerko are slumping right now (especially against lefties) and yes our rotation has been pretty "iffy" at times, Jenks didn't help much last month either...

I think Rios is a great addition, he'll help take some stress off the guys in a slump and allow Quentin to get back to 100% with his foot and now his aching knee. Even with his big contract, don't forget we have a few guys becoming free agents at the end of the year.

We put Jake Peavy in the rotation and he pitches well, we'll be at least in the ALCS IMO.

No doubt you guys should be on top of the Central. Detroit doesn't deserve it at all. Plus, I think the team with the best shot at even winning a game in the playoffs has to be Chicago. Minnesota's bullpen is a joke, and Detroit has maybe two consistent players on the entire team. Our best hitter is hitting .330 (but over .400 with the bases empty), and the next guy is under .270.... We're also last in the league with runners in scoring position. And I can talk all the shit I want about you guys paying Rios $10mil a year until I remember that we're paying Maggs $18mil, and he's hitting .250 with 6 homers. What a putz.

Other than three starters in the top 10 in ERA, we've got nothing to be proud of. It's absolutely amazing we're even over .500

Very true, and Mags is surely overpaid for what he's done this year. Man it must suck being the Cubs of the American League...

"Bob Loblaw Lobs Law Bomb"

CubanJJ09 · 08-12-2009, 08:14 AM

CubanJJ09 · 08-12-2009, 08:15 AM

kyleb350 · 08-12-2009, 10:43 AM

Never really did the sig thing, but my guess is that it's restricted by file size. Black and white pics take up little space.
