I promised. Now I have to pay. When I set my Siemens C45 cell phone on fire I promised that my next victim would be my lousy DVD player.
My pet, which played only the DVDs it felt like ”in the mood“ for playing – a chronic problem on the optical unit for this particular model, I learned from other friends with the same problem –, has finally drop dead.
So, the time has come... After several months thinking what I would do with it, I finally destroyed it. Several options crossed my mind: set it on fire (since I had already done this with my cell phone, I immediately discarded this option), throw it from the tenth floor (I was afraid of hitting someone or a car, even just before dawn), bury it at the beach and play ”Treasure Hunt“ with my readers, fill it with sand and drown it at the sea or at a lake (I think nature has nothing to do with my anger), and I even though in renting a stone crusher or a steamroller to destroy it. I was with my phone in my hand to call a company that rents out big machines to construction companies when I had another idea. To break it by literally kicking it, using my Tae Kwon Do knowledge. So you can laugh AND learn something useful at the same time.

I already have a good candidate for my next ”Assassin Rage“ session: that 3-disc Aiwa CD Player that stops working after some years of use. I don’t have one of this but after the cell phone story and DVD player wreck promise at least three people offered me their Aiwa mini system for destruction. I’ll be back...
