MuFu, this is for you, dude, as requested 
Goddamn, this is SO stupid.
Right, well, I was out one night, celebrating the end of the semester (as you do).
Unfortunately, I discovered this new drink called Goldschläger (loose German translation = gold-hitter), which tastes like red AfterShock (maybe only the UK peeps know this), and has little "gold" bits in the bottom. The trick is to shake 'em up, and down it.
I had 18 of the fuckers (UK shots)...
Now, here comes the best bit...
Earlier in the evening, I was cleaning out my computer case, and got real frustrated cos everyone else was going out, and I wasn't, so I thought "ah well, maybe I'll only have a couple of drinks, come back, put the machine back together, and go to bed." So I left all the bits of my machine scattered around the room.
Anyway, I came back at around 4-4:30am , and looked at all the bits of hardware lying around. Now, to me, they looked dusty, so I set about cleaning 'em.
I did OK till I got to my brand new GeForce3 Ti200 card, which I promptly took off to the sink and proceeded to wash. Luckily, I realised just in time what I was doing. Of course I couldn't put a brand new £150 graphics card in water, could I ?!? But what about the heat sink?!? Ah hah!!! Hence I proceeded to try and prise the heatsink off with my bare hands.
It was the "snap" that made me quickly sober up and witness the horror of half a GF3 GPU hanging off the board (and the fucking heatsink was still on the damn thing).
Anyway, I'd only bought it the previous week, so I RMA'd it, saying that it was a birthday present for my dad, and if he didn't get his cash back, he was going to come down and sort it himself (he's a policeman)
Needless to say, I got my cash back
Hope someone replies with another corker
Rock on, peeps
Jon
