Someone stole my iPod

[Ozcar]

Someone stole my iPod last night.

I was in my bike around 11:45 pm last night and some guys that were driving a black car pulled over right infront of me. One of them tried to take me bike and one I tried to hit him, he used an 'Icebreaker' (Or whatever the name of this thing is) and injured me in my left arm.

Then they car got inside the car again and they ran away... I called the cops, but they arrived too late. However, I got the number of the car's number plates and hopefully they'll got them soon...

That's why I didn't come last night, I was in the hospital because I lost a lot of blood. Thanks to God, it seems my body is used to lost blood since I donate blood every 2 or 3 months.

Now I'm fucking sad because those mother fuckers have my iPod.

This is how the injury looks right now without the wound dressing. It was a deep injury but thanks to God it didn't touch my Humerus. The doctor had to take some X-Rays of my arm to make sure there was no damage on my bone.

[Genocide]

You got pwnt.

[Slapdamonkeyaz]

You should have hit them with a rake.

[Genocide]

The point is, i still have your ipod.

[SirLebowski]

*grits teeth* Oooh. Man. That thing looks infected.

Anyway, iPods are like the gold chains of the 2000's. Except they carry our crappy musical tastes with them.

[Bolo]

Holy..!

Wow, glad you're okay, Oz.

You live in a bad part of town or something?

[King]

At least you didn't slice off your own fingers.

No at all. But that's what it seemed.

Now I'm not sure... The worst thing is that it happened less of one block away from the door of my house >:\

[xxLOGIKxx]

It's called a (Ice Pick) and ouchie. I say you find them and ban them from the BBS. No but really that sucks.

[cellardoor6]

What the hell are you thinking riding your bike at midnight??? Alone... With no weapon? Where do you live...?

Not to rub salt in your wounds but come on now, you have to have more sense than that.

But at least now you can see the error of your ways and redeem yourself by converting to the dark side and get a Zune like myself:

[MadCow]

I know those guys aren't getting paid the second half of the money because the didn't carry out the hit >:(

damn, I'm out 5 grand now!

[positively-negative]

Ouch! But at least you can blame someone else and have a cool story to tell. I just lost mine, nothing exciting, just my stupidity hard at work again!

No, cellardoor6, enough Zune fanboying please. Here are the facts:

I'd like to see where you got that because half of all those things are false. And in the meantime, the Zune is entirely better. You're just a stupid fucking mac sucking little douchebag to accept reality.

And while you accuse me of being a Zune fanboy, I actually have actually used an ipod video as well. And due to MY own personal experience, not the distorted, biased nonsense that you spout, I have found the Zune to be superior, as would anyone else who has used both. You have no source of comparison, you're just a little twit whose childish little bias clouds his judgment.

Cellardoor6 name the half that are false. Because I think they all make sense

Thanks...yeah, the guy used an Ice Pick... It got inside my skin and even my muscles (Around 2 or 3 inches inside my body)

He was going to hit my face or my neck (I'm not sure) and then I tried to stop his hand and it was when I got the injury on my arm...

These are the X-Rays the doctors took. (Yes, the X-Rays are upside down)

[kidray76]

Ouch, looks like a skin cancer is growing there. Glad that you ok though.

Right here, for your reading pleasure. :)

And to what reality might you be referring? The one where the Zune is colored shit brown, and has major functionality issues (listed in previous post), and where the iPod works better all-around, and has a more sophisticated, and easier to use—organic, you might say—interface.

And while you accuse me of being a Zune fanboy, I actually have actually used an ipod video as well. And due to MY own personal experience, not the distorted, biased nonsense that you spout, I have found the Zune to be superior, as would anyone else who has used both.

How is the paragraph above not distorted, biased nonsense as well? You just spouted off at least five insults in the space of three sentences, and gave no facts to back your own ridiculous claim.

Do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

superman will save you!
