<div class="IPBDescription">and what happenned earlier today</div> I had a bad and awkward day-a day in which I failed so many exams-and found out that I did more than fail, but fail beyond fail. It was crazy later on, because some guy in a white astro van came up to my friend and I when we were walking back to school from the mall. This guy exclaimed that he had speakers he wanted to sell us-very good and expensive speakers. He wouldn't give us his name, phone number, and true purpose, but lame reasons like, "Oh, I got a wrong shipment of products and I have to get rid of them very quickly or they all go to my boss." Lame eh? He showed us some brochures, a clipboard with receipts and such, and even told us that he would open up the boxes in which contained three-thousand dollar speakers. Extremely desperate, he asked me how much I would pay for a set, I told him, "maybe 200 dollars..." (I don't have near that much <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo--> ). Looking extremely worried for some reason, he then asked me if I would go to the nearest bank and take out 300 dollars, which would be enough to buy a pair of "theater research" towers. Seeing his quick attempts and what I couldn't afford, I told him, "No thanks man, I would need time to think about this, but I think we best be getting to school." Then my friend slyly said to him, "why don't you ask those people over there eh?" So he left and we went back to school late.

Later on I told my other friend, who by-the-way is a "home theater junky," and he laughed so hard at the notion of the whole story. In his comical state his first words were, "they were probably fakes!!! You almost got jipped! Can't believe it, stuff like that happens all the time and I can show you on the avs forums..."

Yea, I feel like a fool....

So now I am heading off to master and commander, which should be a good movie judging by who plays in it and what the reviewers had to say....I'll report back if this movie is any good or worth the penny.

    Likely the guy stole the speakers.

    Ripped off deals ALWAYS seem better than they appear, but sooner or later it gets you in the end.
