i want $120 for a new case and some mod supplies. usually my parents know when i need money and give it to me before i ask but there is no way of them to know i want a new case. how should i go about asking it? hint at it?

Smash your case and leave it in front of your parents door on fire :) That should give them a hint.

threaten to st@b with sharp object

really though i'd just ask subtly... but i dunno if it's a good idea to ask for a case b/c it's fairly unnecessary

Seriously, tell em you want it, why you want it, as in your case old and you need a change, tell em the cost, and what you will do with the old one, as in sell it on Ebay and give them an estimate of how much it will fetch unless they want to use your case...

How old are you?

I never asked my parents for money. I had a part-time job all through high school.

I borrowed a few thousand for a downpayment for a house, but it was after they offered it, and it was paid back within 6 months.

ROFLMAO

And what if they then don't want to give him a new case since he can't treat them nicely?

We have been known to start the conversation with instead of "Mom, can I have", "Monmey...". I don't know if she finds it funny but we sure as hell do :)

LOL You're old enough to go to a strip club and you ask your parents for money? This is the lamest parody thread ever.

Exactly what I was going to say, minus the parody part.

Is this a parody? Somebody tell me before I tear this joker a new one.

There's just no way this dolt can be serious. That's what is great about the internet, don't need a straight face to post this kind of bullshit. ;)

Rest? Oh, college is SO tiring.

Anyway, if you can't come up with $120 to spend perhaps you need a job. I dunno about you, but I like being able to spend money. I like good food, good alcohol, and good audio/video/PC hardware.

Get a job you slacker.
