Dear stupid, drunk, stoned and/or paranoid people

Stay the fuck out of my store.

1) Stupid: nuuuuuuuurrrrrr.... I waited until the day before I needed these 42 different files printed out, so I can sign one page on each file, then hand them back to you so you can make copies of them. nuuuuuuuuurrrrrr.... the person e-mailing the files has been trying to send them for 7 hours. (Here's a hint, asshole. Next time, have them courier a CD to you the day before. Or drive down. It's a 3-4 hour trip, and you wouldn't have been spazzing out every five minutes for the three hours you were here.)

2) Drunk/Stoned: Dude, do you sell cigarettes/rolling papers/beer here? (Hey! Clueless fuck! This is a copy center. The Shell station is around the corner, you fucking jackass.)

3) Paranoid: This was a new one for me. Luckily, this was all on the phone.

Customer: If I send a fax from here, will they be able to tell who it's from?
Me: Well, if you fill out a cover sheet....
Customer: No, I don't want them to know who it's from.
Me: Ooookay. Is your name on it?
Customer: No.
Me: Anything that could identify you? Your address, social security number, things like that?
Customer: No.
Me: Do you care if they know it came from a Kinko's?
Customer: What do you mean?
Me: It's going to have our fax number on it when they get it. There's no way around that.
Customer: Oh, that's fine.
Me: Anything else?
Customer: Washington, DC is long distance, right?
Me: ........ yes.

(Oh good. An anonymous fax to DC. I just wonder what this could be.)

[City of Heroes] Well.... okay

So, I'm back into City of Heroes.

And I made a Tanker. (I'll post a pic later, honest.)

An Invulnerability/Super Strength one named Omega II. (The name Omega, of course, already having been taken.)

Already up to 13th level with him, and I have to say, it's a lot of fun playing a Tanker. Run up, hit things, take lots of damage, but (and this is important), not actually die. I still have my D3, though. I probably ought to play him a bit more... he's only 10th level.

I also have to say, I don't really understand the Invention system in City of Heroes. I mean, yes, I understand that if you find a recipe that uses a left-handed spleege and a clockwork flondorp (names completely made up), and you happen to have those components, you can make the the item the recipe is for.

Why does it charge Influence to make a recipe, though? I mean, Jesus wept, the costs on some of these creations are obscene compared to what I can actually buy right now. Now, yes, I know, an Invention recipe never gets reduced in what it does when you gain levels, but come on....

I'm not sure I understand set recipes though. Do you have to have all the recipes in a set in the same power, or if they're slotted across multiple powers will it still give you the set bonus?

I shit you not

The CVS two blocks away has a three pound chocolate bar for sale. More then one actually.

And it's 10 bucks.
