Sounds more like the standard happenings of drunks and airlines to me. But curses work too.

I got a nice fat crack in my truck windshield driving to ICHQ for Epic 09, and I ate so much White Castle one night that I thought I might die of some kind of gastrointestinal disease, but I just blame Detroit's highway's and lack of self control.

The beer went into my laptop that mas0n was using, I had to reformat up there, had to use a restore point because my computer was updating the OS and someone's kid pulled a surge protector that my UPS was plugged into and the quick flip over caused it to hang up. My car thought I was stealing it so it shut off the fuel pump in ohio, and I got a speeding ticket in ohio from an air plane.

Who flipped their car?

Of the two incidents involving Canti's car at EPIC 09, mine was certainly not the catastrophe. On top of that, absolutely nothing happened at IC LAN '08.

No, it's dead. It looked at me wrong last night and I had to knife it.

Actually I didn't mind all that much. It was just a dent and the window on that door was broken anyway. Besides, would a little bump like that really matter a week later?



Really?

You get taken to Canada and back... border guards loved our explanation about how a Missouri postal worker, a "just landed" Brit IT person and a Detroit native crossed the border and back.

To add to this going to epic 09 smooth as pie I took 2 planes to Pa. than
two to MI. both pcs went on the plane as carry on, but on the back.
I had to fight with the airline and still lost and the pcs went into the belly
of the plane and both got hurt. They both were able to be fixed but they
both still have scars from it.
