PC makes a surprising number of typo's for how much he corrects other people's posts.

At least that was a typo involving an extra letter, and not typing a whole different word. And at least the post of mine that was aimed to make fun didn't include such a mistake...
Speaking of which...
LOL it's ironic that PC makes a grammar error on the same page he harasses someone for it :p
I believe the term "grammatical error" would be more correct. And shouldn't there be a "that" between "page" and "he"? (But that's besides the point and isn't really that big of an issue.)
But why am I wasting time defending myself? I have an essay paper due tomorrow for one of my classes.

?? My *** is on my chair. I haven't tried to type with it since its kinda pointless to rub my *** all over the keyboard when I don't have penguins and potheads to share a computer with. Feels good though.

In all reality (if anyone can even see the words he wrote), "that" is actually just a filler word. The majority (and when I mean majority, I mean over 90%) of sentences which use the word "that", don't even need, and sometimes even sound BETTER, the word in the first place.

For example, "I found out I have an appointment to go to" sounds better than "I found out that I have an appointment to go to".

Little rant I wanted to gripe about cause a teacher griped about it to me.

Anyway, Kenny, what's the status on Arizona? Who's going, who's driving, how much will it cost, etc. Cause I need to know NOW what's happening so I can get the appropriate work days off, and so I can figure out whether it'd be appropriate to miss a school class, which in all honesty I would rather not do in the first place.

Let me know hopefully before I go to work, which if I remember correctly, is around 6.

Lastly, because no one is giving me ideas, GIVE ME IDEAS FOR THE WEEKEND OF THE 26TH!!!

Here is the info. X is driving, I'm going, Everett, Yaz, Yours truely and we are looking for someone else.

Mars wants to, but i need to check to see if it is at all possible to get the man, but yet he can get a bus down there xD. Then there is lanky. Idk. we are in a pickle.

we don't cost yet. and I'm trying to get my dads vehicle which gets better MPG than X's, but take the same group.

There is a lot going on >.<

Well, that's why I put it in the "invisible font" (for those that use the main color scheme), among other things.
The majority ... of sentences which use the word "that", don't even need, and sometimes even sound BETTER, the word in the first place.
BTW, that sentence was pretty awkward to read due to some extra commas along with the dependent clause being inserted in such a strange location.

Anyway, what OoS tournament are you guys planning on going to, anyway? Well, hopefully, all of top-5 are going (but this never works out perfectly in the end), and as much of top-10 as possible.

I guess what I'll do then is take the weekend off regardless. I vouched myself to go a few weeks ago when Kenny first talked about it.

I know Vazor said he might want to go. So maybe we should pull a list of people who want or can go, find who can drive, figure out who should go with who, and then those groups can pull together and find a good time to pick everyone up.

But like I said, I vouched for myself to go when I first heard of it a couple weeks ago, and I don't want to be screwed over like last time just because one person (a driver) decided to drop out the last moment, leaving me with nothing to do at home because I took work off. And it sucks cause my car is starting to run its course already, and as such, I'm afraid to drive it such a long distance, otherwise I would drive a group myself.

Don't screw me over again Utah!!

BTW, that sentence was pretty awkward to read due to some extra commas along with the dependent clause being inserted in such a strange location.
I know. I had a hard time wording it. Sometimes when a phrase is in commas, it just adds a little trivial comment the sentence doesn't require, so the sentence should read "..don't even need the word in the first place." if the phrase is taken out, which makes the sentence sound right.

I'm good with grammar when it comes to words, just not when it comes to sentence structure.

Yeah, I got that; I just thought that maybe the dependent clause should have been at the end of the sentence, to make it sound more fluent.

Well, if you get work off but then the plan to go OoS gets cancel, host a smashfest or something... :)

Where did I get cut out of all this? I've been the one trying to plan it all and to even get Utah to go in the first place.

Edit: In the slim chance that I can get my mom's car for the weekend, would I even be able to get 8 people who want to go? I say we make a list of who all wants to go.

Yaz

Lanky
Marsulas (Besides Yaz, cause I talked to him IRL before, mars was actually the first to ask to come. He sent me a PM like the same exact minute I posted saying we were going to try to go. >_> )

If I'm forgetting anyone, just let me know. I'm too lazy to look back through all the random posts.

I just checked mapquest, and it would add another 45 minutes or so to the trip to pick up Mars, since it would be changing our route. Normally we would get off I-15 before Saint George and head south towards Tucson. But if we decided to go get him, we'd end up taking I-15 all the way to Vegas and then heading to Tucson from there.

"That" is actually not a filler word. It separates out a subclause in the sentence. The only reason leaving "that" out sounds better to you is because you hear sentences most often that way. "That" gets dropped out of sentences because native English speakers can separate the clauses effortlessly, and languages always tend to get more efficient over time. Non-native speakers can have a very difficult time understanding sentences that drop "that".

I am going 100% I am bringing my laptop so I can work on an essay that is due on the monday. So I will need to have a little bit of space if possible. Plus, I would like you guys to peer review it.

Any idea how much $ I should bring?

Alright so next friday I get done with my class at 12:50. I have a class at 3, but I am skipping it so we don't have to arrive in tucson at 4 in the morning.(plus its calculus, I can teach myself the lesson.)
So, I will try to leave from the class about 15 minutes early so I can get to my dorm. Then I will have my bag ready for AZ. I am bring two pairs of clothing. One for saturday and one for sunday. We should arrive in Tucson at about 1 am. Giving us about 8 hours to sleep(if we do sleep) prior to the tournament.

Saturday we have the tournament all day. Bring about 20$ for food that day I think. Maybe a little bit more. The tourney will last til about midnight - 1 am.

We leave sunday morning at 9 am get back home at about 9 pm.

Sound good?

Prices

Venue fee - $5
Melee singles - $5
Melee doubles - $10 per team
Brawl singles - $10
Brawl doubles - $15 per team

So for brawl players (assuming your doing teams.)
You need to bring 25$ for brawl. I would say bring 40$ for MM's and what not.
Bring your own food for the ride down to AZ. (or can we stop and get some food along the way? Might be a nice break.) Bring like 10$ for food along the way.
20$ for food on saturday.
Gas is unknown right now.
So minimum you should bring so far is 70$ + gas money. So probably 100$ should cover you.

Melee players. We don't have any.

I'm with Sinz, 100% attending. I could bring music for the car, a converter just in case we wanted to watch a movie? idk. just thoughts.

days off, depends when we leave from friday. if it's around twelve, i should be good. if not i'm going to have to skip class. we need to decide time we are leaving friday for sure.

but take friday,sat,sunday off.

cash. i'd bring atleast 75. if we are splitting the gas with five people and it doesn't do too well. we might have to have a different person fill the tank up every time it's empty.
plus entry fee, food. etc. I'm just bringing my card and going to hit an atm sometime. i hate carrying cash when i don't have to >.>

Rade, if you could get another car that would be the best. But I'm with you on no sleeping in the car ;)

The money I can get. I'll try and hopefully my boss won't try to work me in on Friday or Sunday.

As for time, I got two classes on Friday, one around 10, and the other at 1. I can be home by noon if I skip the last class, but the latest if I stay for both, I'll be home around 3. Otherwise, I could skip all day.

Might need to be picked up though. Definetely will bring my DS, MP3, and a few music/comedy CD's for the trip.

Well, off to work. I'll let you guys know by Sunday or Monday whether I have the days off.

I need to be picked up around 1 PM.
Do we want to have two cars going? One a little bit earlier and the second one a bit later?

Talked with my boss. Work Friday, but she will try to find a replacement for me. So put me down as a maybe for now. Will know next time I work.

Also, and I know it's late notice, but I forgot my dad is out of town this weekend, so I have nothing to do. If you guys are bored, you're more than welcome to come to my place and play games tomorrow or Sunday. Hell, I'll even let you come over tonight and stay the night if you want.

If enough people want to come, I'll officially make it a smashfest.

We are talking about going to an OOS tournament next weekend.

Regarding that, I think I will need to be in the quieter car so I can work on my essay and my other assignments. I have a lot of stuff due on monday that I just have to do.

So we know we have 1 car for sure. (X's)
We have possibly 3 others cars.(Kenny's Mom's van(8), Red Dogs dad's car(5), harpuia's truck(3)
