Title: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on May 18, 2004, 09:01:33 PM
Someone stole our car stereo.

While I was in the mall for 10 minutes dropping off dinner for my husband.

And it's really my own fault for not grabbing the faceplate this time.

*sigh*

I think I'll go play in traffic now.

That sucks.  I find it horribly depressing when I loose a buck, a stereo, ouch.  Was it a NICE stereo or just desperate theives and scoundrels?

It was fairly nice.  We bought it in december of 2003.  I think it cost us $99.   The LCD faceplate was cracked though (and therefore useless, visually), because we always used to bring it in, and my husband left it on the floor one day and I stepped on it accidentally.

But now we have no music.

Well, that sucks.  I am sorry.  That is a nicer soundsystem than I have ever owned, but the extent of my stereo systems is a ten year old $20 boombox, sooo....

I'm just mad at myself, and I hate dealing with my husband when he's grumpy.  This is going to make him grumpy every time he gets in the car.

I'm sorry. If I had a car stereo, I'd give it to you. Course, I don't have a car stereo.

the problem is not that you didn't remove the face plate, but that you didn't leave a bear trap for the thief's hand.

No, your thinking too small.  A heat sensored death ray.  There is no way ANYONE would steal you car stereo OR give you a ticket if you had one of those.

how crass. That would lack style and grace.

Yes, because Bear traps are known for their graceful disposal of thieves, scoundrels and the occasional traffic cop...

*I* never said anything about cops. But the rest of that is true.

I generally prefer the careful positioning of a trusted henchman to prevent and discourage members of the less noble public from tampering with my ride.

just because it's in my lineage...dust it with anthrax!

I'd just leave a guard Koala in there. Even with a stick, those things are vicious enough to be a deterrant.

what about a bear trap weilding anthrax dusted nuclear guard koala with laser vision?
That would be an awesome security system...
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: GorgonlaVacaTremendo on May 19, 2004, 05:45:32 PM
Yeah, but what happens when your bear trap weilding anthrax dusted nuclear guard koala with laser vision Security system decides it wants a new stereo?  At least the heat sensored laser gun isn't likely to turn on you for tunes.
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: JP Dogberry on May 19, 2004, 09:23:42 PM
Well, since the bear trap weilding anthrax dusted nuclear guard koala with laser vision Security system is stapled to the sound system, it'll just have to stay in the car guarding it while it uses it.
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: GorgonlaVacaTremendo on May 19, 2004, 10:20:28 PM
Wouldn't the bear trap weilding anthrax dusted nuclear guard koala with laser vision Security system be angry at you for stapling it to the speaker system?  Like Entropy, you don't wanna make one of those things made...

dude, ninja monkeys

Well, we are talking about Fuzzy, and to my knowledge you have a monopoly on the ninja monkey's around here...
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: JP Dogberry on May 19, 2004, 11:16:31 PM
Of course its mad, that's the reason it attacks anyone who goes near enough to the sound system to steal it!

I have to say that, while you're doing an excellent job of cheering me up, you stopped talking about me back on page 1.

see, this is where the confusion comes in. when 99% of the forum says "fuzzy" they mean fuzzyoctopus. But we still havent' trained those guys in that. They're still calling TFO 'fuzzy'

Well, they must learn

i've been trying. Perhaps they will get the hint from this branch of the conversation.
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on May 20, 2004, 09:47:44 AM
Well if I keep responding to posts not aimed at me, perhaps it will annoy them enough to stop calling TFO 'fuzzy'.

You could just sic the bear trap weilding anthrax dusted nuclear guard koala with laser vision Security system on them every time they do it.

dude. Ninja monkeys.

they're the answer to everything. When will you accept that?
Title: Re: Thieves and Scoundrels
Post by: GorgonlaVacaTremendo on May 20, 2004, 07:49:44 PM
I have never refered to TFO as fuzzy... in fact, I only recently accepted him as TFO.  Before he was small, furry, rodent like creature...  

But yes, ninja monkeys are the answer to everything.  But since I have none at my disposal since you hoard them like living gold, I need to find some other means of protection for my ten year old, $20, wal-mart boombox...

I do rent them out.
