	Unbreakable Chat Log 11:53 pm-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Chat Permalink Me and him have had this conversation a few times already: [07:00] Gawain: Watching “unbreakable” again. [23:30] Turk: jesus why man? [23:30] Turk: have I not expressed my hatred of unbreakable? [23:31] Turk: the newb (who I thought saw it too) just saw it recently and he hated it too [23:35] Gawain: Really? Its probably in my top 10 favorite movies. Its certainly my favorite of Shamylaminanian’s films. [23:35] Turk: psst [23:35] Turk: the first one he did was a fluke [23:35] Turk: I liked that one [23:35] Gawain: yeah it was okay. [23:36] Gawain: But I liked unbreakable a lot more. [23:36] Turk: unbreakable offends me as a comic book collector [23:36] Gawain: I thought the ending was a little bit meh, but I loved Bruce Willis as a normal dude who learned he was actually a super hero. [23:37] Turk: and it does not at all mirror comic book stories [23:37] Turk: and that’s why I hate it [23:37] Turk: it’s all bullshit [23:38] Gawain: I guess? The authenticity of the comic book bullshit is a very distant concern to me over the fact that bruce willis playing a reluctant superhero kicks ass. [23:38] Turk: well your not a comic collector [23:38] Gawain: true. [23:38] Turk: and or don’t take comic books seriously [23:39] Gawain: I suppose that its similar to the way I hated that fucking Sandra Bullock movie where she was a computer security expert and some super hackers had created a way to hack any computer on the planet using a tiny pi symbol in on a website. That sort of made me furious. [23:39] Gawain: But I think that technically unbreakable was a better film. [23:40] Turk: yes exactly [23:40] Turk: to the sandra bullock thing [23:40] Turk: not that its a better movie [23:41] Gawain: Still, I enjoyed unbreakable. I’m sorry that it wasn’t authentic for you nerds. [23:41] Turk: apology accepted [23:41] Gawain: I think its probably the most “realistic” depiction of what would happen if a dude suddenly found out he was a super hero, comic bullshit aside, and that’s why I like the movie. [23:41] Turk: oh bullshit [23:41] Turk: in shallies little mind sure [23:42] Gawain: What would be different? [23:42] Turk: this unbreakable conversation goes back as far as 2006 by the way [23:42] Turk: what would be different? [23:42] Gawain: yeah yeah, what would be different? [23:42] Turk: I would have to watch the piece of shit again [23:42] Turk: samuel l jacksons character for one thing [23:43] Gawain: If a dude who was super strong and resilient found out in a sudden way beyond his control that he was in fact a “super hero” how would his reactions be different? [23:44] Turk: its jackson man [23:44] Turk: his character [23:44] Gawain: meh, that was just the foil. its unimportant to bruce willis’s character. Say he found out in a different way. [23:44] Turk: what was it black fury? for fucks sake [23:44] Gawain: What im saying is that his reactions are what I would expect to such an event. [23:44] Turk: sure sure [23:45] Turk: as I said in the past [23:45] Turk: that movie just rubs me the wrong way [23:46] Turk: I should like it [23:46] Turk: but I don’t [23:46] Gawain: … Is it the gay thing? [23:46] Turk: it’s mostly that it’s that fucking shamalamadingdongs movie more than anything [23:46] Turk: is there a gay plot in it? [23:46] Turk: I don’t remember [23:46] Gawain: No, I mean, how you’re gay, and there wasn’t a gay character in it for you to empathize with. [23:46] Turk: I don’t like m night shamamma [23:47] Turk: ahhaahahahaaha [23:47] Gawain: hahahahahaha [23:47] Turk: yes yes that is it [23:47] Gawain: man I totally pulled that right off. [23:47] Gawain: You are the best straight guy ever. [23:47] Turk: my hatred for m night shamalama has turned me into a poofter [23:47] Gawain: You’re totally the smothers brother with the mustache. [23:47] Turk: this may go up as a chat log on my site [23:47] Turk: I so need to post something [23:48] Turk: the one with the mustache is the cool one? [23:48] Gawain: no, hes the straight man. [23:48] Turk: your the dumb fucker then? ok [23:48] Gawain: yeah. [23:48] Turk: I can live with that [23:48] Turk: you being the dumb fucker [23:48] Turk: this is so posted on my site [23:48] Turk: admitting your the dumb fucker [23:48] Turk: I WIN!!!! [23:49] Gawain: You don’t win. I got you to admit to being homosexual. [23:49] Gawain: Though honestly it won’t be a big surprise for anyone you know. [23:49] Gawain: So I guess maybe you do win. [23:49] Turk: I would rather be a peter poofter than a dumb fucker [23:50] Gawain: Good thing I guess, huh? [23:50] Turk: stop being funny now I need to copy and paste this I’m so desperate to post something here. Thanks to Gawain for letting me be the “straight” man. [00:00] Turk: boy don’t do a google image search for dick smothers [00:00] Turk: wow [00:01] Gawain: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA [00:01] Gawain: you need to add that to the chat log. I’ve changed my gravatar to the Dick Smothers image below. I have found an image for Gawain to use as well. Read Full Post

	Ramada Owners Removed! 8:09 am-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink Man I’m smiling on the inside and the outside. Two news articles to link and do minor quoting. First the links. Missed payment costs Ramada owners and Court names receiver for Ramada. The Rockford paper has the better article so I’ll use that one. Here is the good shit right off the bat: The owners of the Ramada Inn and Conference Center were removed Thursday night after failing to make a payment to the city. Owners Nooruddin and Farida Sadruddin (Tejany) were removed from the premises, and court-appointed receiver M. Neal Eckard, president of Nationwide Asset Management Group LLC, took over the hotel. Good riddance! Hot damn! It goes onto say: Eckard will run the Ramada Inn until it is in foreclosure; then the hotel will be for sale. Now its auction time again and you got to hold your breath something worse than these fucking idiots buy it up again. “We called over there; they said they were going to bring a check right over,” Kirichkow said. “Obviously, that didn’t happen.” Manager Zar Zahid told the City Council she was trying to buy the hotel, but Kirichkow said she was removed from the hotel Thursday with the owners. They even threw out the cousin/sister/aunt that was trying to save the hotel. This chick was going to turn the place around. She did a wonderful job didn’t she folks? Kirichkow said the situation is good for the city. “We’re guaranteed to get paid now. The court will see we get paid,” Kirichkow said. He’s confident the hotel will be under new ownership soon. “It seems nothing but positive from this day forward,” Kirichkow said. Kirichkow is a dreamer. These douche bags they just threw out were in the worst hotel ever because of a similar situation. In 2002 Tejany bought it for less than 2.3 million dollars way back in 2002. The place surely won’t get 2.3 million here in 2009. Only trash worse (and/or related) to the kicked out owners would buy that shitheap the worst hotel over. No I hope someone buys it and tears it down and builds a parking lot. Only then will the damage done by these removed owners begin to heal. Read Full Post

	DND Update 5:33 am-Turk Comments (8) Show » D20, Games Permalink So we have had about two real games of dnd so far. The 4th and the vacation killed a few Saturday games. This second game though has the beginnings of what I wanted in the first place. A good long campaign to keep me entertained. Man, I had fun. The group is playing The Scales of War an adventure path from the Dungeon magazine. We just started the first part of this and it’s called  Rescue at Rivenroar. It starts out with the player characters relaxing and drinking at a tavern. Not too long after, monsters of course bust in and try to start some shit. A recap on the players. My Niece (age 9) playing a Cleric My Nephew (age 8) playing a Fighter The DM’s Kid (age 8) playing a Wizard The Newb (age 35) playing a Paladin Me (age 37) playing a Fighter So once the first combat started till the end of the session a few things of note happened. Shows the different egos or attitudes at play. First was the argument between me and the Pally about where the Wizard should plant his fire spell. The thing does 1 burst damage which means where it’s fired off it flows out in every direction around the place it was ignited. Basically I wanted the Wizard to fire it off in a spot that would hit three monsters. The Pally wanted one square back so it only hit the two monsters. The way I wanted it to go would make it hit me and the Pally as well as the three monsters. The Pally wanted it to just target the two monsters in the back and spare the good guys any friendly fire. Now I felt it was an acceptable risk to hit where I wanted. I would rather see three monsters hurt than two. Both the Pally and I have good hitpoints and armor class. We could have took it. There was a good chance the Wizard would miss us anyway. I backed down and let the Pally have it his way. The next point that I enjoyed was after the combat was over and we got to do some talking to npc’s. Generally speaking this is the shit I hate. I’m the type that clicks through the quest text in mmo’s like WoW. I want to kill shit. This time it was different. We had a monster to interrogate. A monster who was held in a stockade. It couldn’t get to us. Man, I couldn’t wait for two reasons: First, I was going to see how far I could push the DM with my kind of bullshit. Second, I just couldn’t pass up the chance to fuck with a monster Jack Bauer style. There were a few roadblocks to get through before I could mess with the monster. There were guards around that would not allow the monster to come to any harm that would cause it to not be able to stand trial for its bad deeds. So first I had to get rid of the pesky guards. I had the Wizard use Ghost Sound. Ghost Sound Wizard Cantrips 1 With a wink, you create an illusory sound that emanates from somewhere close by. At-Will, Arcane, Illusion Standard Action Ranged 10 Target: One object or unoccupied square Effect: You cause a sound as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a yelling or fighting creature to emanate from the target. You can produce nonvocal sounds such as the ringing of a sword blow, jingling armor, or scraping stone. If you whisper, you can whisper quietly enough that only creatures adjacent to the target can hear your words. So with this I had him create the sounds of battle in the distance. Four of the six guards took off to check it out. The last two I managed to convince that I would not kill the monster. So there was no worry if it would miss hanging at the gallows after it was found guilty at a trial. So I introduced myself to the monster and played the nice guy. I asked it about its base of operations and its leader. We even had the Pally speak goblin to it in hopes it would play ball and give us good info. After it was done I went up to it and leaned close to its face and told it if it was lying I would come back and kill it. To prove my threat I pulled one of my longswords out and pressed it up against the right side of its head and cut its ear off. The kids were of course very amused that I was behaving this way. I just wanted to get a feel for how far one could go with this DM. Next time in addition to another ear (for my new necklace I’m making) I’m going see if the DM will let me cut off a monsters testicles. I want to build a name for myself in the game world. Plus it’s damn fun to abuse the poor monsters in this manner. But somehow I doubt I’m the first player to do so. I can’t wait for next weeks game. Hopefully more monsters will learn to fear the name Turk Shakespeare. Read Full Post

	Worst Hotel Ever Dying 2:50 am-Turk Comments (0) « Hide Bad Hotel Permalink It’s starting out to be a good day! Here is some news hot off the internet about my favorite sinking ship the worst hotel ever in an article called South Beloit Ramada’s future in the air. Below are the highlights: South Beloit’s largest hotel is still accepting reservations despite the foreclosure notice filed by Chicago-based PMC Commercial Trust Bank. The bank filed the notice in Winnebago County Circuit Court May 15, claiming the Ramada Inn and Conference Center, 200 Dearborn Ave., had defaulted on its mortgage payments and owes the bank $2 million. Me and a few others have been waiting for these assholes to go under and this may be the start of them dying. But the foreclosure also would affect the city since Ramada owner Serena Hospitalities owes about $26,000 in delinquent sewer bills, $33,000 in hotel taxes and the remaining $200,000 of a $400,000 low-interest loan. Fuck the city of South Beloit. They should have never lent those cocksuckers money in the first place. “We’re in a position like so many banks: People can’t make their payments,” Kirichkow said. “If they go out of business there’s no way of us recouping our money owed, or the chance would be very small. However, if they stay open, hopefully business would improve (and) they would be successful.” I hope Kirichkow is smart enough to know business won’t improve at that hotel. It’s too late for that. They should count their losses and move on. Hopefully the property can be torn down and turned into a parking lot or something. Officials from Serena did not return repeated calls for comment. And this doesn’t surprise me. What are these dumb fuckers going to say? I think we should go back to the beginning for one of my favorite quotes from the owner to get perspective on their silence now: “I’ve associated with friends and family’s hotels, but this is my first on my own,” Noor Tejany said. “I wanted to pick a hotel I would be proud of in the future. Once my plan is completed, I’ll be proud of this hotel.” The guy has ruined two hotels so far. I hope he’s very proud. The one I worked at in South Beloit and the poor hotel in Indiana. Here is another link to a new article about this topic called S. Beloit to discuss hotel’s liquor permit. Read Full Post

[05:20] Turk: no house Session Start: Thu Jun 18 2009 [05:26] Gawain: my plan once I get laid off is to drive over there, pick up some booze, and force you to watch house.
