runnin my trot lines

A figure of speech in the deep south referring to a person that is trying to hook up with the same person that you are trying to hook up with.

Bill: Hey Tom! I took Kate out on a date last night. We had a good time.

Tom: WTF Bill! Why are you runnin my trot lines!!! I have been trying to get with Kate all week man.

Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines

"If you aren't in a hurry to leave the store, there will be little or no delay in getting a clerk to ring you up. But if you're pressed for time --- or even more so, if you're car-pooling with someone who is on a tight schedule --- THAT'S when there will be hold-ups galore... a long line in front of you, a customer with one or more heaped-full shopping-carts, one or more price-discrepancies that hafta be tediously resolved (i.e., the puzzled clerk is obliged to walk back with you to the shelf to look at the price-labels, a supervisor or the store-manager has to be called over), a balky card-scanner, etc."

Whenever someone who's giving me a ride is kind enough to let me stop at a store to grab a few items, I always try to make very sure that I have everything all "set and prepared" before I head to the register, so that I personally seldom create a problem (i.e., cause any delays myself with issues like not having the proper payment ready or being unsure of a price or quantity) with Murphy's Law of Checkout-Lines. That way, even if my driver has to wait linger than expected for me to hastily scamper back outside with my loaded shopping-bags, he won't be able to direct his impatient frustration at me --- "Sorry for the delay; I did indeed get everything tossed in my cart very quickly, but there was a long line in front of me, and they were short-staffed today, so they only had once register open."

Lineage II

A MMORPG(massive multiplayer online role playing game) developed by South Corean NCSOFT in 2004. The game has a high level of addiction because of the eye candy, simple playstyle and the PvP potential. That said, Lineage II consumes a lot of time, compared to other MMORPGs. Lineage is also a very equipment-oriented game. Every 6 months or so a new sort of expansion is released, adding new skills, new areas for grinding, new weapons/armors, etc. After a Prelude and five "Chaotic Chronicles", the current version played on NA servers is "Interlude" with the new instalment, "Chaotic Throne 1" expected in the last months of 2007.

Lineage currently has five races(Humans, Orcs, Light Elves, Dark elves and Dwarves) with a sixth, the Kamael, coming with Chaotic Throne 1. Every race except for the Dwarves has a fighter and a Mage, with further expansion down the road. The players can change their occupation once after completing 20 lvl, a second change at 40 lvl and a further specialisation in their class after 76 lvl. For example, a Dark elven Fighter may become a Palus Knight at 20 lvl, then change to BladeDancer at 40 lvl and to Spectral Dancer at 76 lvl. Each change requires completion of quests. As no reversal is possible, a player must know very well what class he wants to play in the end even before creating his toon. There are 32 classes in Lineage II. Players who are 75 lvl can complete a quest for a subclass, giving them the opportunity to lvl a new class from lvl 40. There are certain restrictions, but for example, an Orc Destroyer(a fighter class) can have a Light Elf Spellsinger(nuker class) for a subclass.

Lineage II pwns.. pwns your life.
