If you're going to make up weird torture stories at least make them plausible, who the gently caress would put forth that much effort to heat up a nickle

It seems to be kinda-maybe-could-have-happened bundled onto a lovely overplayed joke (the "Wat" stuff).

The "Whovian" (:rolleye:) one could also possibly have happened, even though it didn't, because 13-year-old children are easy to scare.

It's a Doctor Who reference. Be glad that you don't understand it.

But 'who turned out the lights' is a pretty reasonable and common thing to say when the lights randomly go off. How could it possibly be interpreted as a Dr Who reference except by ludicrously obsessed nerds?

Once I was at a comic store with some friends and it turned out we accidentally went during HeroClix night. Some Whovian chick glommed onto my friend and tried to show off her Dr Who poo poo for like 10 minutes, despite him repeatedly telling her he has never seen Dr Who and he doesn't understand what any of it is, and that he was just looking at comics. Whovians are almost as bad as bronies.

People were wearing helmets in that episode and the visor went black. If you're not wearing a helmet and everything suddenly turns black it's not the things from the library.

It's close cousins of the STDH involving a vidya-related ringtone or text alert and a classroom, subway car, bus, etc. Usually morlocks.

Tales like this are an endless source of amusement for me, I just can't comprehend that our lovely British Science Fiction show is so popular in America, or at least on the internet, to me, it's just a typical Saturday night cheesy BBC show to keep the kids happy, but for "Whovians" its a way of life.

Like I've said before I'm sure that at least 99% of the American fans are the ones that fawned over David Tennant and Matt Smith because now that an older guy is the doctor they aren't as vocal about the series anymore

Nice. I used to watch Dr Who when I was younger because my aunt would send me the dvds from England. Some of them were fun and kinda clever.

Then I stumbled on a more recent episode and God was it flat and cheesy and boring. Now I don't want to watch them ever again not to sully the memories :ohdear:

I can't even conceive of how someone who has ever been in the company of 7-year-olds could consider that a possible conversation (not that it wouldn't also be stilted and ridiculous at any other age).

quote:

I am a store manger at a Menswearhouse and I heard my ex was getting married, who broke up with me by sending me a snapchat of her having sex with another guy, was getting married so I took a shot in the dark and looked up to see if the tuxedos they got for their wedding were from Menswearhouse, they were. I then proceeded to change the shipping date and location of all the tuxedos for the groom and his groomsman at the last minute so even when they identify the problem, it would be too late to fix it. I got a deep satisfaction that I did something to make her "perfect day" a little less special.

Yeah people can be petty but it sounds 100% like some bitter revenge fantasy that never happened. The snapchat thing is just so over the top, and a manager who does something deliberately that is going to end up costing his store a big sale/refund is either too dumb to ever get the job in the first place, or will shortly be losing it. Also I think at mens wearhouse when you order rental tuxes they are shipped to the store and you go in and try them on a couple days before the event to see if any final alterations need to be made. Worst case scenario they either go to the other store or have them overnight them to the right one. It's not like you go pick them up an hour before your wedding.

No he's a manger at men swearhouse.

So he's there to feed the horses people ride in on. You guys still use horses right?

That single paragraph is so badly written jeez. Especially the part about the ex was getting married, she broke over snapchat, was getting married.

At least reread your lovely post.

The men swearhouse sounds like a fun place to be.

To be honest I didn't even realise how terribly written it was until you pointed it out. I've read so many of these now my brain just automatically corrects it.

You get them 2-3 days early, so if they were sent to the wrong place they'd be found ASAP. Nothing for weddings happens 'day of'. Unless family is making it, then all bets are off.
