Ate a hot dog and got mustard on my track ball. Track ball became hard to move around with my thumb.

BUT THEN, I swirled it around and all the dust that was caught inside it got stuck on the mustard and rotated around to the front where I was able to pick it off.

Track ball moves freely once again though the surface is still sticky.

Don't repost on g+. That's annoying because then I have to see them twice.

Drove my rental car 25 minutes out and then drove back and returned it because the stereo wasn't loud enough. #musiciseverything

okay, that's just being an asshole, unless the stereo was actually broken

if i was the person that had to exchange whiney's hyundai sonata because he complained about the stereo not being loud enough i would make sure that i farted in his new car & then let it run w/ the heat on full blast for a few mins

a good stereo will be u&k when i buy a new car in a month or two but it's a fuckin rental that's probably going to get destroyed by juggalos.

estimate the percent chance that whiney was very actively thinking about the twitter possibilities while he was making this decision

iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link

is there a number bigger than 100

iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:15 (twelve years ago) link

if i was going on a hella long road trip a good stereo would be the primary concern

i mean if he didnt check that out the first time he got in the car thats on him but i fuxx with good sound

iirc most of u little dudes listen to music on laptop speakers so

actually, i will be renting a car in like two weeks for work! i will not be concerned with the stereo, because it's a rental!

"Hi I'm a music reviewer and it is my livelihood and it is essential I have a LOUD car stereo so that I may do my job"

btw in no way do I believe he actually did this, it just sounds like something someone would say on twitter to be clever

mh, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link

i really can't imagine that whatever car he got in return had a noticeable louder stereo than whatever car he had in the first place, they are all rental cars

J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link

like when I joke about making an anechoic chamber in my basement for fun

mh, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:17 (twelve years ago) link

I'm just bitter because my car only has one working speaker and no working volume control, soI can't hear anything if I'm driving faster than 40mph.

oppet, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link

if i was less terrified of customer service interactions i would ask the rental agent in cincinnati for the car with the sickest audio system and report back to you guys.

call all destroyer, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:18 (twelve years ago) link

sorry I only follow car dealership updates via twitter

iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:19 (twelve years ago) link

btw there's no way whiney's drive was more than 3.5 hours, so it's not "a super long road trip"

J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:20 (twelve years ago) link

in fact he spent 1/3 of that amount of time driving from and to the rental car place + waiting for a new car

J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link

I mean he's only driving from one side of brooklyn to the other, right?

iatee, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:21 (twelve years ago) link

they should give him a stereo that only sounds good playing witch house

  • I had more than doubled my previous high score playing Tetris on my phone today, but i got a call and when i hung up i hit the End button twice by accident and that killed the game without saving the score... :( I was in the Zone.

Kerm, Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link

i really hope whiney didn't actually do that

( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:44 (twelve years ago) link

would you bet against it?

J0rdan S., Thursday, 11 August 2011 20:54 (twelve years ago) link

my money would be on the "just wanted a good tweet" scenario, but i dunno

( •ิ.•ั) (gr8080), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:01 (twelve years ago) link

nah, he did it

markers, Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:10 (twelve years ago) link

You know that's going to be the reason, not that the factory settings were too low.

≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:11 (twelve years ago) link

maybe rental car stereos have lower output so people don't blow the speakers

5ish finkel (goole), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:19 (twelve years ago) link

Only saying that there will be justification for this, you wait.

≝ (Pleasant Plains), Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link

I've had some rental cars that do this annoying thing where the stereo gets loud when you step on the gas, but then gets really quiet when you slow down or stop. It's actually some kind of setting that you can change if you find out how to work the menu on the stereo.

o. nate, Thursday, 11 August 2011 21:28 (twelve years ago) link

I've noticed that before too, that the stereo would go down as I turned a corner. Took me awhile to figure out it wasn't me.

There are some damn stupid features cars get sold with these days.
