        Gambling boat sounds much more fun. Do we have those nearby? -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:15 4

        For some reason I thought they ran them out of Sheepshead Bay. -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:21 2
        
        And after some quick research it appears that plans for gambling boats in NYC were scratched. Crap! -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:23 1
        
        boo! - znufrii Jul 8, 09:25
    - that reminds me, I need to get off my ass and get tickets for the booze cruise. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:10 4

- Nice - Spawn Jul 8, 09:04 1
  - Well, I assume that if I implement it, you would be able to hover over the name and see the username of the poster. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 09:05
someone make mel laugh. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 8, 09:00 5

Speaking of tickets, I got one Monday that I couldn't believe. I was parked in an enclosed lot for a grocery store (inside, off the street) and got a - pmb Jul 8, 08:58 43
- that's crap. sorry dude -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 09:15
- you need a sticker to park in a grocery store parking lot? -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:07 11
  - (or were you parking there in something other than a customer capacity? -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:17 10
    - No, it had nothing to do with where I was parked. It was that I didn't have a current city sticker (required for residents with a car). - pmb Jul 8, 09:20 4
      - that's just odd, then. - znufrii Jul 8, 09:22 2
        
        If they have Illinois plates I suppose they'd run them to see where they live or look for a sticker from another city or town. Out of state plates - pmb Jul 8, 09:27
        
        the key is that he has a sticker, but it's expired. better to have no sticker. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:23
      - aren't the meter maids different from the police? -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:20
    - what's weird is that it's private property. I didn't think they could ticket you there. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:18 4
      - could be a publicly owned lot adjacent to the grocery store. - znufrii Jul 8, 09:20 3
        
        Such a difference would be obvious here, were that the case -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 09:23
        
        Nope. -- nm - pmb Jul 8, 09:20 1
        
        would they be able to do the same if it was in your driveway? -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:23
- real estate tax revenue is in the toilet so many municipalities are resorting to this type of thing -- nm - decline Jul 8, 09:07 3
  - It's actually been the case here for as long as I can remember. They just aren't this insane about enforcement usually. -- nm - pmb Jul 8, 09:11 2
    - I think he means enforcement. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:12 1
      - you are correct. I've seen the police being a lot more strict around here -- nm - decline Jul 8, 09:13
- What are these city stickers you speak of? - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 09:05 20
  - See my post below for explanation. -- nm - pmb Jul 8, 09:11
  - Me either. -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:09
  - oh really? Out east a lot of cities do this. You can't park in a residential area unless you have a sticker from the city. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:06 17
    - Seriously. We just get the state tag from DMV, no city tags. Though I do have to display a community tag (HOA rules) in my rear window. - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 09:11 1
      - it's a decal that goes next to my state inspection. I also have a decal for my residence, my work HQ, and DOD. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:11
    - A little different here. It's essentially just an annual city tax on your car. $80 a year for a sticker that you display on the windshield. - pmb Jul 8, 09:10 1
      - I pay a % tax on the car plus $20 for the sticker. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:15
    - yup, one drawback to parking being relatively scarce in high-density urban areas. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:08 9
      - Ironically, NYC doesn't do this. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:08 8
        
        and you lived in Park Slope, so you know how horrid it is to try and find a parking spot. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:09 7
        
        I lived in Windsor Terrace, and I picked places that were on the border of the park or the PXway. More parking there. - loosilu Jul 8, 09:11
        
        No way I'd own a car if I live in Park Slope. You can spend an hour looking for a spot and neverfind one. -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:10 5
        
        and then there's alternate-side-of-the-street parking regulations, which among other things, is enough to put me off of owning a car anywhere in NYC -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:13 3
        
        see my post below. :) -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:14 2
        
        yup. too much work for me. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 09:24 1
        
        it's no harder than feeding a cat. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:25
        
        that's why you double park and hired a dude to move it. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:12
    - (which you get after you pay your yearly property tax on the car) -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:07 2
      - Cars have their own property tax? -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 09:11 1
        
        yep. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:14
- Was it a hot day? Cop wanted to stay out of the sun. - Spawn Jul 8, 09:00 1
  - Beautiful day. There were at least a 10 other cars that he nailed too, so I guess it's efficient. - pmb Jul 8, 09:02
- I got a ticket like that ... in a city where I don't live. sticker was for Arlington, ticket was in Alexandria. - loosilu Jul 8, 09:00 2
  - They can't do that though. You're permitted to operate your car in another county without that county's sticker. Did you fight it? -- nm - pmb Jul 8, 09:01 1
    - no, didn't bother. probably should have. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 09:02
I have a problem w/ some of the S. McNair stuff they're reporting now concerning his wife... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 8, 08:58 7
- Depending on how busy he stayed after football retirement, it's not out of the realm that he was traveling quite extensively. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 09:02
- *flies to Argentina, thinks no one will notice* -- nm - Mark Sanford Jul 8, 09:02 1
  - just proves that sometimes when a man thinks with his junk...he stops thinking. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 8, 09:04
- guy was always on the road anyway, I would think. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 08:59 3
  - Never told his wife he'd retired. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 09:04 2
    - really? -- nm - Remlik Jul 8, 09:10 1
      - No, not really. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 09:18

- lol yes -- nm - Jovian Jul 8, 09:03
- Tangent: For some reason my Google Clanadar has names listed. You are down for next Hump Day. - Spawn Jul 8, 09:01
- The key flaw in your stat is "brigham young study". -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 09:01 4
  - so they would attempt to inflate the numbers to ... play up how "stuff like that" affects us daily? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 09:03 3
    - I don't know any details of the methodology, but 84 seems way low. The population in their study may have skewed conservative. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 8, 09:05 2
      - I don't think that sounds low at all. - Drill Chef Stephen Jul 8, 09:07 1

- Of course. -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 09:01

- I think the minimum time multiple of 18 that I could use where this wasn't true would be 18 hours. - pmb Jul 8, 09:00
- yes - tRuMaN Jul 8, 08:59
- I click links on ST, don't I? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 08:59 1

- of course -- nm - Jim Jul 8, 08:58
- Yes. The last 18 days? Yes. The last 18 hours? Yes. The last 18 minutes? Yes. The last 18 seconds? No. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 08:58 2
  - [deleted] 1
    - Well, there are extenuating circumstances because of your post below. -- nm - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 09:02
- yes. -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:58
- Is this a trick question? Answer: Yes, duh. -- nm - Shaun Jul 8, 08:58
- yes -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 08:57

    - ?? :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 8, 09:03
    - hmm. -- nm - loosilu Jul 8, 08:58
- just curious, what is it you actually do for a living? -- nm - znufrii Jul 8, 08:55 6
  - It sounds like she works for the mob. -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jul 8, 09:08 1
    - are you kidding? - 'lia Jul 8, 09:18
  - not much - 'lia Jul 8, 09:03
  - Something requiring an active imagination. -- nm - Spawn Jul 8, 08:56 2
    - Speaking of "imagination"... SyFy's new name isn't nearly as bad as their new claim on "imagination-based entertainment". - Ender Jul 8, 09:01 1
      - Oooh, Ghost Hunters International comes back tonight! Thanks!!! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 8, 09:04
no website (which surprises me for Portland) -- nm - Guy Jul 8, 08:54
I still think the Brits get better horror movies than we do. -- (link) - (500) Days of Dano Jul 8, 08:53 [youtube] 2

- Have you watched Babysitter Wanted? -- nm - Shaun Jul 8, 08:55
Repost: Conservative MP demoted for giving $400k to Toronto's Gay Pride Parade (or so it would seem). -- (link) - Beaker Jul 8, 08:53 1

  - pity I have some RBV's to trade for picks -- nm - Beaker Jul 8, 08:58 1
