Hi Elli! -- nm - Other David Jul 20, 12:17
Just saw the Rob Ford comments about wanting all gun criminals out of Toronto - Beaker Jul 20, 12:11 9
- i love that he thinks it's about 'immigration.' i don't even know what he's getting at there. he's so stupid. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 12:14 3
  - Perhaps he wants to turn toronto into a nation-state and then revoke the citizenship of gun criminals -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:14 2
    - this would not even surprise me. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 12:15
    - (city-state? Something like that.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:14
- Someone should ask him where he wants to send them. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:11 4
  - its not like we're talking a rural community of a couple hundred people either. Dude is a dumbass -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 12:12 3
    - the zapp brannigan of mayors -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:13 2
      - Joke thief! -- (link) - Roger More Jul 20, 12:18 [Backboard]
      - his brother can be Kiff! -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 12:13
sitwap: total wounded or the dead is at 71 -- (link) - zork Jul 20, 12:03
[deleted] 44
- So, how was it resolved, and what obscure rationalization did government use to justify a completely absurd course of action? -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:21 1
  - [deleted]
- B -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 12:16
- should b, probably c -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 20, 12:12
- E: sell her to a Nike sweat shop -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 12:12 4
  - There you go. Or just drop her off at the nearest Apple store; they like child labor, too, right? -- nm - mara Jul 20, 12:14 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - well at least he wouldn't leave her stranded! - Epiphany Jul 20, 12:21
      - *yes!* -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:20
- B -- nm - mara Jul 20, 12:11
- B seems feasible, as long as the parents can meet them at the airport. -- nm - Max Jul 20, 12:11
- A -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 12:07
- E) Obama was on the way for a visit anyway, so ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:06
- Is she (or the parents) an American citizen? That is the only reason I can think of for anything but B. - GregW Jul 20, 12:06 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - immigration/border control from london to NY, could get hairy, presumably -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:08 1
      - [deleted]
- let me guess, they choose C? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 12:05
- C -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 12:04
- I'd hope B, I'd expect C because its the least sensical option that's not a gross miscarriage of justice. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 12:04 8
  - But that only makes sense if there's someone to receive the 4 year old in london ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:11 7
    - [deleted] 6
      - but not NY? Then send her ass back to the UK. -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:16 5
        
        why? she has a ticket through to Chicago. Honour it,. and just make her an 'unaccompanied minor' for that last leg. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 12:17 3
        
        it's apparent the parents don't want her. They can't "get" to NY. She's better in UK. This is all too silly -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:18 2
        
        I don't even.... You're joking, right? -- nm - mara Jul 20, 12:20
        
        see my note below. the kid is either (a) sitting alone in an airport waiting for mom and dad. or (b) sitting on a airplane going to mom and dad. - Andie Jul 20, 12:19
        
        this is not fiscally responsible. Ticket to chicago is cheaper. ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:16
- I would think B because airlines, I thought, would assign a chaperon etc. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:03
- This depends, are the Wet Bandits still in jail? -- nm - Ender Jul 20, 12:03 1
  - heh -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 12:04
- you don't care enough about your child that you can't get to NY? a-hole parents. adoption -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:03 7
  - the airline would actually have to take care of the child *longer* if they have to wait for the parents to get Chicago to New York. -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 12:18
  - [deleted] 5
    - they are on the no fly list -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 12:06
    - send a friend, and aunt, an uncle, something. -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:05 3
      - Dude, they live in a quadraplegic colony, the grandfather and daughter are the only normals they know! -- nm - Ender Jul 20, 12:07 2
        
        Oh, how I love the rational hypotheticals. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:07
        
        [deleted]
- B -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:03 3
  - not sure if it matters, but had they already cleared immigration? -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:09 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - okay, doesn't change my answer either way. - znufrii Jul 20, 12:12
- B -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 12:02
LIR: miffed: Oh, i'd forgotten about the M203! Only got a chance to fire that one a couple of times, and obviously not for qualification - Stephen Jul 20, 11:58

Disgraceful: "@celebboutique #Aurora is trending, clearly about our Kim K inspired #Aurora dress ;) Shop" -- nm - MDH Jul 20, 11:52 5
- *speechless* -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 12:13 1
  - Oh hell yeah!! FINALLY!!!! - ST si Jul 20, 12:21
- Idiots. Their PR rep isn't in the US so they didn't realize why exactly Aurora was trending. Fu**tarded. -- nm - Shaun Jul 20, 12:09
- Well, they're screwed. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 11:55
- the responses to this one I'm sure will be kind and gentle in their pointing out of their cluelessness -- nm - Beaker Jul 20, 11:54
Jason Alexander showed up at a cafe near my apt. He's looking a bit... -- (link) - con_carne Jul 20, 11:48 [Image] 3
- that must be for a role, right? -- nm - Andie Jul 20, 11:49 2
  - *slaps forehead* The hair! - con_carne Jul 20, 11:53 1
    - It's definately not a disguise so he can go to a cafe unnoticed. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 20, 11:56
One of my NRA friends just posted this on FB; I'm surprised it took this long. -- (link) - CrankYanker Jul 20, 11:48 [Image] 16

  - code for dumb ass -- nm - Epiphany Jul 20, 12:20
- thats just sick -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 20, 11:58
- Not for nothing, but that old guy's shooting stance is the suck. -- nm - Stephen Jul 20, 11:55 8
  - mara posted video of it on the back boards if you didn't see it. -- nm - znufrii Jul 20, 11:59 1
    - I hadn't seen it, will have to check it out when I get back to the office. -- nm - Stephen Jul 20, 12:14
  - It's a miracle he didn't shoot a bystander. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 11:56 5
    - he had one of them point blank, and they managed to get away. - groiny Jul 20, 11:57 4
      - Apparently, he hit both of them repeatedly. He shouldn't have used a BB gun. -- nm - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 11:58 3
        
        what was it a .22 ?? - groiny Jul 20, 11:59 2
        
        seriously, if you arent carrying a desert eagle, why even bother. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 20, 12:16 1
        
        This is my attitude. - Beryllium Jul 20, 12:17
- [deleted]
- "No one was carrying a concealed gun for protection". I'm sure that's been 100% verified. - Mop (198 lbs) Jul 20, 11:52 2
  - I heard a comment on CNN that the gunman was sitting in the theater, went out the exit to take a phone call, propped the door open, then came back in. -- nm - CrankYanker Jul 20, 11:55 1
    - that is pretty much what I have heard as well. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 20, 11:56
Boy, this unwrapped Twix is yummy. - Mel Profit Jul 20, 11:48 20

  - did he just east 'couch candy?' -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 20, 12:07 1
    - my college days are over, thankfully. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:14
  - They're all Twixes! -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 11:57

  - it was in the wrapper! - Mel Profit Jul 20, 11:56 11
    - the caramel is not the right consistency when cold. good move -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 11:58 2
      - Am I right? Right? You gotta get the caramel warmed up. Otherwise it's like eating a brick. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:00 1
        
        in that case, you let it warm up in your mouth until the right consistency --> longer enjoyment -- nm - zork Jul 20, 12:04
    - *shakes head and thinks of you talking to it* "you're a dirty little cold twix aren't you?" -- nm - JenBro Jul 20, 11:58 7
      - I can't even imagine the foul things I would say to a Breakfast Sandwich right now. - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:01 6

        I try to tell my buds in FL about the breakfast sammich. They don't understand it. Silly wang dwellers -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:04 4
        
        Are you telling me they don't do Breakfast Sandwiches in FL? What foreign country is this FL? - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:09 3
        
        at least not where I was. They could not comprehend 2 eggs, sausage, and cheese on a hard roll. -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:14 2
        
        They should be drummed out of the Union. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 20, 12:15 1
        
        the problem is they don't have local delis or food stores. It's all Jersey Subs and Publix in a strip mall. idiots -- nm - CQ Jul 20, 12:21
