hammed if you do, hammed if you don't (360 dies AFTER 5 MINUTES!!!)

RE: The last time I googled myself I thought of you

So I stop in to the local delicatessen tonight on the way home to grab a cut of ham for the Wii party we're throwing this weekend (goes well with the ginger ale). Well, as I was ordering the cut darned if I didn't get a bloodstain on my shirt from all the meat hanging around. I started to complain and the man behind the counter - straight off the graphic for Brawny paper towels - puts his finger to his lips and says "Shhh." Then he reaches behind the counter and produces this pen-shaped item. It was an instant stain remover. "Rub it on the stain" he said. I did. "Get in there deep." Did you know that they make these "Tide to Go" pens?

Oh, and my Xbox 360 died again after only being on for 5 minutes after 22 days of being "repaired."

in all seriousness, did you guys see this story on *that other video game site that shall not be named*? wicked crazy. since i got my refurbished 360 back about a month ago i've been treading on pins and needles around it. stories like this seem to indicate that i'm correct in doing so.

do any of you out there fear for your 360s, refurbished or not? i know Action Bastard posted a story earlier today saying he doesn't look at his the same anymore...

A man who works with meat all day telling me to "Get in there deep." would unnerve me a little. Especially if he was holding a knife.

And no, once your 360 breaks and is repaired it is not the same. It's like cloning your dead child, sure it looks exactly as it did, but, deep down, you can tell something is different.
