my favorite thing about being all credit is that my expenses are all from a month ago, so in theory, I'm living a month ahead on salary. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 10:13 8
- I do that too, and I figure it'll work great right up until I unexpectedly lose my job and have no income and a full month of expenses. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 10:35
- I'm super tempted to start this up Jan 1 - keep track of it weekly and just make weekly online bill payments -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 10:15 6
  - also, if you never carry a balance, ever, cash back cards actually do pay. get one that gives you extra cash for like, groceries or gas or something. - amanda jones Oct 19, 10:27 3
    - I used to use a Shell card that gave me a discount on gas. Stopped using that when they started requiring additional charges of $500/month to qualify. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 19, 10:30

SITWAP. A WaPo poll asked people what words come to mind when they think of Romney, Perry and Cain - con_carnage Oct 19, 10:13 17
- Mormon being #1 for Romney can't be good. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 10:26 6
  - I wouldn't immediately associate that as a negative. - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:29 4
    - The most telling info from the article, to me, is that Romney and Parry both had "no" as a response from Repubs, but Cain didn't. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 10:36
    - It's not great either though. It means that his political brand has been defined by others, not by himself. - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 10:33 2
      - (this thought is in combo with the other top responses - Romneycare and flip-flopper) -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 10:35
      - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:34
  - not surprising to me. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:27
- Rick Perry: Idiot, Crook, Ass, Scary - all made the top 10. -- nm - GregW Oct 19, 10:17 8
  - Perry disappointed me last night in the discussion over Romney's lawn mowing. Please, can we focus on the issues? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:28 6
    - That is. Illegals come here for jobs...if they can't find jobs, they will slow down on coming here....Romney helped perpetrate that - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:31 5
      - The issue is worth discussing, yes. - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:32 1
        
        Well of course...you have 2 grown-ups in the party and one of them stayed home. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:33
      - (does a minimum wage full time job really only pay $15k? good heavens.) -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:32 2
        
        $7.15 x 2080 hours (52wks at 40hrs) = 14782. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:32 1
        
        that must make it so hard to buy an iPhone, I can't even imagine. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:33
  - I'm mildly amused that we're (the global we're) continuing the "fuck your guy" oscillations. - TFox Oct 19, 10:23
- I'd say Cain is the most honest of the 3. He's the least PC, least polished. - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:15
Probably a repost but I've never seen it - the Die Hard quadriology song - WARNING NSFW due to language. -- (link) - LMS Oct 19, 10:08

- In other news, SC Voter ID law appears to disproportionately impact minority voters -- (link) - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:10 17
  - Such a horrible idea. How is this legal? - Krusty Oct 19, 10:14 4
    - The DOJ has put the law on hold for now. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 10:34 1
      - Good to hear. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Oct 19, 10:39
    - Was there some problem with a mass amount of people voting under false names? - Krusty Oct 19, 10:17 1
      - There's been a massive hunt for voting fraud cases, which have basically turned up nothing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 10:28
  - [deleted] 5
    - one theory... - znufrii Oct 19, 10:23 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        which to my mind falls under "their own interests". - znufrii Oct 19, 10:41
    - Don't forget to call them racist. They're all racists, too. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:16 1
      - [deleted]
  - The state is offering free ID cards. Republican Gov. Nikki Haley supports the law and offered voters without IDs free rides to state offices to get 1 -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:11 3
    - And hasn't backed that up with actions in any way. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 10:27 2
      - Really? She never followed through with that? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:30 1
        
        Sorry, I'm wrong about that. - nubby Oct 19, 10:32
  - mission accomplished. -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 10:11 1
    - The new law doesn't bar voting for people without photo identification, but it can create hurdles. - Strongbad Oct 19, 10:12
Underwear dries fast. It's trying to dry jeans in the winter that is a PITA. -- nm - psilotum Oct 19, 10:04 1
- not to mention that they dry crunchy. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:08
Krusty and groiny do have a good point. You can put chips in pets. If some dickwad wants to own big cats, he should be required to tag them. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:03 37
- Those pet ID chips do not transmit. You can't track a pet with them. They are there to ID the pet once it shows up at the pound or a vet clinic. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:05 1
  - I know. but you can require tracking chips. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
- he didn't even need permits to keep them let alone have to have tracking stuff. -- nm - decline Oct 19, 10:04 26
  - and I am fine with shooting the wolves and bears..... - ghouly Oct 19, 10:10 20
    - Unfortunately, captive tigers in private hands aren't any good for captive breeding programs at zoos. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:14 17
      - Really...we're worried that the big-assed tiger with no purebred papers isn't big-assed tiger enough to screw another big-assed tiger? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:16 15
        
        Yes. With populations as low as they are for some tiger species, it is absolutely vital to know bloodlines - TWuG Oct 19, 10:23 1
        
        Estimated total of all 6 tiger subspecies worldwide is between 3000 and 5100 animals. - TWuG Oct 19, 10:27
        
        "Fuckin tiger has papers, Dude." -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:17 12
        
        What kinda tiger is that? Purebred or halfbred? "It's a tiger...not a mudblood, dumbass." - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:18 11
        
        I say, if it looks like enough of a tiger for another tiger to want to jam it, we're cool. - TFox Oct 19, 10:20 3
        
        If you want to save Bengal tigers, it doesn't make a lot of sense to breed them with Sumatran tigers. - Reagen Oct 19, 10:45 1
        
        plus as TWuG said, inbreeding is a huge problem. In breeding programs they do scrupulous genetic studies before breeding any pair. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:47
        
        "Do you walk on 2 legs or 4?" *bark bark* "Two it is, come on in honey." -- nm - TFaux Oct 19, 10:21
        
        would anyone really care if the T-Rex was part Allosaurus? - ghouly Oct 19, 10:19 6
        
        keep talking... -- nm - SyFy Exec Oct 19, 10:22
        
        Just imagine a T-Rexceratops with 3 horns on top of it's head. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:20 4
        
        Or a T-Rex head on an Allosaurus neck! No one could ever run fast enough. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:21 3
        
        We gotta breed it with something with longer arms. - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:23 2
        
        A T-Rextasaurusatang. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:26 1
        
        "What's it's bloodline?" *looks at it* "Scary-assed dinosaur." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:27
      - I half breed tiger is better than no tiger at all. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:15
    - something I learned a few years back: Captive big cats are "generic" and are exempt from the Endangered Species Act. -- (link) - loosilu Oct 19, 10:12 1
      - "Can I see your papers please?" nm -- nm - Po-Dunk Cop Oct 19, 10:13
  - right, which is an epic level fail. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:05 4
    - Though even if he had the permits it wouldn't have stopped him from offing himself and setting them all free. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 10:48
    - oh my. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:07
    - Here, sign here on the dotted line for the 6ft by 8ft by 4ft box that's growling. Thanks. -- nm - UPS guy Oct 19, 10:06 1
      - they could smuggle one in your next hat order. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:07
- he was responsible enough to have licenses on the bears. - ghouly Oct 19, 10:04 1
  - right, and it should be required. Licenses and tags on all exotics. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
- *tags this post too* nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:03 5
  - is this the day we're going to have an intelligent discussion? I'm ready to tag that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:04 4
    - you have to admit, there was enough gold in that post to back the US dollar. -- nm - TFox Oct 19, 10:05 2
      - sure. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 10:05
      - *giggle* -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 10:05
    - well, I always do, so it if you want to step your game up, feel free. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 10:04
