    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?

    fixed

    Saying things like that is just asking for trouble.

    pretty sure backing into someone's car isn't a catastrophe, but...
