This is what Kurt Vonnegut was like. Before being a highly acclaimed author, he got a job at Sports Illustrated and was asked to cover a horse racing story. On his typewriter he wrote "The horse jumped over the fucking fence" and then quit.
I read all of his books after a guy I liked - in HS - said he was his favorite author. The guy went on to found a multi-million dollar tech company and is now retired.

It didn't work as well for me :p

OMG, should actually make it to $40 today. Comcast bill might be paid after all :angry2:
I just got off the phone with them greedy pricks..... I got a really good person on the phone though (first time ever) and he got me back to a $59.99 a month deal for 250 Mbps I feel such a good outcome must mean if I go outside a train will run me over on the sidewalk.

Also read all his books in high school. Didn't work out for me either.

WOW, that's really good. You don't have any cable package with it?

Will do, thanks for the recommendation!

Alright, well I think I've found a fun author to add to my list of authors/books to read!

Well, two gifs...I guess I really stepped in it there didn't I? :p

I honestly had never heard the name. But, there's a time to learn everything :) I do wish I knew more at 27 years of age than I do, but I'm grateful that I have a thirst to learn that never seems to stop. Thanks for emphasizing how important it is that I know of this author and his work :wink:

So it goes...

(I went through a Vonnegut phase in college)

No I haven't had cable since like 2002.... have Prime,Hulu and Netflix
Nice. Got a MB7420 cable modem almost exactly 2 years ago & I swear it feels obsolete now, like it can't handle the new Comcast speeds we've been given. Overheats every once in a while. I keep getting locked into 1 year deals with Comcast for all regular HD channels (no premium other than starz) plus ~200MB for $156 a month. If I went your route, I'd probably end up spending another $50 a month cause Comcast has those stupid 1tb caps.
