back in 2005, I drove 2 hours to get to a water park while visiting the states with some friends. we had a plastic bag with a couple water bottles and a pound or two of grapes. unaware that if we wanted some damn grapes we'd have to smuggle them in, we happily declared them... without saying a word, the bag checker dumped it all in a garbage bin and handed the plastic bag back to me...

my buddy tore the guy a couple new holes, and we ended up getting 10 bucks from the guy to go away.

AFTER we paid admission and got to stand around in a line for 10 minutes, some chubby security guards came and asked us to leave the park.. when we demanded a refund they regurgitated some shitty policy about not giving refunds to "unruly patrons"..

still having the stamps on our hands, we just went through a different entrance and got a couple hours out of the place before driving back.

there are usually free unlimited refills on large bags of popcorn up here. My buddy and I often sneak into a room right after a movie ends and snag a bag or two, dump it out and get a refill. Then after, leave it lying around near the entrance of our movie for anyone doing the same. Mngmt hasn't caught on yet.

When they charge upwards of 5 bucks (CDN) for a small popcorn with butter, there aren't a lot of options.

A Large Grey Area has just appeared in the land between Notebooks and Netbooks. Neither side have commented yet, and both seem hesitant to lay claim to this grey area.

A company, Google, has claimed responsibility for creating this large grey area. In a press conference earlier today, the company made some comments about "not being evil" and "don't worry".

The first migrants to this area are already en route, and are slated to arrive before the year is out.
