Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I was driving home from work, right out of the parking lot through the back ways. Get onto the main street, about 3 lights up a cop pulls up right behind me. I figure what did I do now, realized there's a stop sign on the like, industrial park street that is easy to accidentally roll through. Can't remember whether I did or not. But I go another light, move to the left lane to get onto the highway. He follows behind me. Have to merge on the on ramp, a car gets between us. At the end, he is moving up, trying to get past the other car, then I have to cross another lane of traffic that's trying to take the quick next exit to get to the highway. Do that, get some distance between us. I see him start to go my way, then just turn off into the grass and stop. About 8 miles up I notice him flying up the fast lane (I'm in the next over). He comes all the way past me and switches to my lane 2 cars in front. He stays there for a bit, then shifts over to the exit lane and slows down while I move to the 2nd lane (it's close to my exit). He slows down even more, and disappears. He must've taken a quick turn off sometime in the 10 seconds before I got to the right lane. Was he fucking with me? Am I getting a ticket in the mail? If so why didn't he just pull me over instead of stalking me 8 miles?
Which shall I make him watch?
Well if you hung out in the AICN thread that explains it right there
In real life, when you get a crowd of movie people together, it's a completely opposite vibe. Everyone's really enthusiastic and eager to talk about stuff they like.

I'm gon' get my science on.
first one then the other
Oh god... so true. At the baseball stadium.
Damnit, I was drinking when I read this. My nasal cavity hates you!
kinda hard to wear sandals when every time you look down at them you get a racial memory of killing a certain sandal wearing savior, isn't it
Probably running your plates.
Or matched the description of a stolen car/robbery suspect etc.
I just assume he could've easily gotten my plates sitting behind me at 2 lights for a couple minutes. Why chase me down again, but not do anything?
exactly, as opposed to everyone thinking they're the next big critic who shits on everything.
I fucking loathe cops that do that shit. The ones in my suburb love to make a game of tailgating you for five miles at 2am with their brights on. If it leads to a horrible grisly fucking death for one of them someday it will be no less than he or she deserves.

yeah your car might have fit a description of something they were looking for
dont worry about it
Well it takes a bit to run the plates and if they come up stolen he'd pull you over. Cops do this from time to time. It happened to me all the way across a county once.
I always knew Jacobkosh was an alt for Thanatos.
NOW WE HAVE PROOF
report'd
Yeah this too.
Are we going to keep up the cutesy nicknames the whole political season?
I only asked because I called Obama "The One" a while back and got roundly berated and mocked about it.
Just working out the edges of this thing we're doing until November.
But there are also those people that like EVERYTHING. I told a co-worker that I really honestly thought the 2nd and 3rd Transformers movies were horrible. He proceeded to say I was a movie snob and that I just look down my nose at fun action movies.
I was like... no... I love the same GOOD action movies as you. Those movies were just bad.
I still get called a movie snob.
fish eggs aren't drinks
just so perfect
You get some people who think all film needs to aspire to be "Great Film" and that film whose purpose is to be entertaining can not be "Great Film". These people tend to forget that the bulk of the early canon of "Great Film" comes from commercial films. They are also twats. I can accept that a film's goal may simply to provide a pleasant way to pass two hours. Or it may be going to try to be great art. That doesn't mean Transformers 1/2/3 get a fucking pass.
Call people whatever you want? I don't give a shit?
I'll stop with the Mittens when I stop seeing Obummer, it has nothing to do with you, Spoolsmith.
on the campaign trail, DFW wrote that everyone called gwb "the shrub"
I have not heard any other good political nicknames
NPR comments section is a cesspool for them though
BARRY OBOZO
The windows weren't tinted, the tag was properly displayed per the rental company.
The cop was like "Oh, whoops" as he approached the vehicle, but still used the opportunity to run me through to see if I had warrants and a valid license. Even wrote out a full warning. No opportunity to hassle wasted.
Darn you, whitey! Gosh darn you to heck!
So they don't/can't send tickets for moving violations through the mail? Or can they? Because it'd be double awesome if I don't have to pay anything
Roger Ebert gave Blade Runner 3 stars.
Film critics are shills of the worst kind.
"Comment section" is your problem. The bottom half of the internet is terrible.
Sick fires bro
I didn't know you liked to get wet, Dave
He also goes by Will Old Man.
Yes but "Obummer" people are not here, and I am.
it's like using "sheeple"
