holy cow - i just found government cheque for $10625.01 and the back is signed. - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:54 22
- What? I hope someone else takes charge of that person's account - cause clearly they need help - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:57 2
  - well, if it is, i'm a star. i gave my name and office number to the office i found it in front of in case they saw someone panicked and looking for - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:58 1
    - You are always a star. - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:59
- I returned a ladies' wallet last year and she gave me chocolate. Came to my house to pick it up and gave me a friggin candy bar. Like I'm 12. WTF. -- nm - lileve Aug 11, 10:56 3
  - yeah, because free candy bars are the suck. (??) -- nm - Max Aug 11, 10:57 2
    - maybe it was some ucky kind -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:58 1
      - "Sexual Chocolate! *Sexual Chocolate*!" -- nm - Max Aug 11, 10:59
- Test. Cameras were on you. You'll be on the next 20/20. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 10:56
- Sucker! -- nm - Old Man Potter Aug 11, 10:55
- She's going to be upset for a couple of days until it arrives. But you are a saint. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:55
- Holy crap! Karma, baybee.... - Jim Aug 11, 10:55
- for that amount, I'd almost drop it off with the police -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:55 9
  - (They might be able to get it to her faster than the postal system ... a little bit faster) - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:56
  - yeah, maybe. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:55 7
    - plus, picture in the paper for good citizen! Casting director see picture, makes you a star! - ty97 Aug 11, 10:56 2
      - OCtoAndie? hmmm -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 10:57
      - yeah, i'm calling them now. they can hand deliver it back to her. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:57
    - I think that might be the best call. -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 10:56 3
      - Andie is less paranoid then me - my luck the lady would be dead and my prints are now all over the signed check - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:58 2
        
        *sets up the full CSI treatment, marks a tiny roped-off square around the dropped cheque* -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:59 1
        
        Looks like this little old lady... *removes sunglasses* just chequed out!" -- nm - Horatio Caine si Aug 11, 11:00
- Well done Andie. Well done. -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 10:55
grrrr...my little brother, who I haven't seen in over a year and a half, is in freakin' Baltimore and never called me! - kelly Aug 11, 10:52 2
- When is he free? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:56 1
  - I don't know, I can't get a hold of him. - kelly Aug 11, 11:00
FACT: When someone presents a statetement and follows it up with the single-word-sentence "Fact.", it is not, in fact, a fact. Fact. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:51 3
- TRUTH -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 10:53
- FACT: This post makes almost no sense at all. Fact. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 10:53
- ::error:: -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 10:52
Legal? sure. But I can't say openly carrying a gun around at a protest of a President's speech is a good idea. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 11, 10:47 21
- "Biden, when we're done, and he's dead... you're welcome to stay." -- nm - Harvey Logan Aug 11, 10:52
- Do they mean "concealed" in that article, rather than "unconcealed"? -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:51 17
  - no. he's carrying it openly, which is allowed on private property, apparently. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:52 1
    - and the link to the TPM article has a still of the gun and holster. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:53
  - no, you need a special permit for carrying concealed. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:52 14
    - So you can walk around, gun in your hand, totally legal? But if you store it in your pocket without a permit, you're breaking the law? -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:53 13
      - as long as you're on private property twith the owner's permission, in New Hampshire, yes. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:55 3
        
        (at least, that's the impression I'm getting from the article) -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:57 2
        
        furthermore, it's not "in hand" but carried openly in a holster. - znufrii Aug 11, 10:58 1
        
        Ah ok, that makes a little more sense. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 11:02
      - These laws vary greatly from state to state. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 10:55
      - it varies according to the state. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:55 6
        
        That's crazy. Say you're walking down the street, and you're the nervous type, in a rough neighbourhood, so you bring your gun, without a permit to - Loyola Aug 11, 10:58 5
        
        If you're openly carrying a gun, the police would probably ask to see your permit -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 11:02
        
        if it's concealed, they're not gonna see it in the first place. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:59 3
        
        But you pull it out anyway in case they stop and frisk you. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 11:00 2
        
        normally you don't get frisked for nothing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 11:04
        
        see my distinction above re: brandishing versus open carry. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 11:00
      - As long as the weapon is legal (registered and all), yes. That's how it sounds. -- nm - Jim Aug 11, 10:54
- "We'd like to have a word with you..." - Secret Service Aug 11, 10:51 1
  - and the wording of the sign could easily be interpreted as a threat of violence and/or desire for martyrdom. - znufrii Aug 11, 10:54
Introducing the Onkyo TX-NR807, network streaming (ethernet, not wireless), THX certified, 7.2 channels, Faroujda, 6 HDMI inputs. -- (link) - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:45 7
- I've always felt manufacturers of such items would be well served having a large marketing budget for translation, etc. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:49 6
  - Why, when I can do it for them for free? -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:50 5
    - And here you go... - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:53 1
      - damn...6HDMI's. hmmmmm..... -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 10:54
    - Ok, what does it do, in two words or less? -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:52 2
      - Shock. Aww. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:55 1
        
        lol fair enough -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 10:55
Wonder what led to this? One of, if not the most successful country music duo ever are splitting up. -- (link) - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:37 14
- Dunn's beard has never been washed in all the years they've been together and Brooks is sick of the smell. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 11, 10:52
- Can't wait for the Dunn, Oates and Messina tour. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Aug 11, 10:50
- "Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn." -- nm - Max Aug 11, 10:45
- They must never have gotten over that one time that lost the CMA Vocal Duo of the Year award -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 10:43 4
  - I wonder what the psychological impact must be for the 'other guy'. Brooks and Dunn was, singing wise, more of a solo act. -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 10:45 3
    - and the other was more of a song writer. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 11, 10:53 1
      - right, I know he wasn't coat-tailing it. His part in the duo was just not as up-front on stage. - ty97 Aug 11, 10:54
    - That's a lie! my vocals were vital to our success! -- nm - the ~yee haw!~ guy Aug 11, 10:48
- i just guessing they want to take a break. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 11, 10:41
- "don't listen to the rumors" hmmmm -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 10:41
- "Oh, no! Two women love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet's too small for my fifties, and my diamond shoes are too tight!" -- nm - Max Aug 11, 10:40 1
  - Miss Chanandler Bong, ladies and gents. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:42
- UAI? - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:39
- bellamy brothers? -- nm - CQ Aug 11, 10:38
I was standing in line at the grocery store at lunch when some boitch cut right in front of me! - kelly Aug 11, 10:36 4
- shoulda got a pic. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:48
- Sounds like she has some issues. Better off not starting something with the crazy lady. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:48 2
  - I disagree. What better place to do it? -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 10:49 1
    - I always worry about confronting crazy people, they tend to carry weapons. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:54
There don't appear to be advance midnight screenings for Bandslam. -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 10:35
This year's Heisman should be a lot of fun. Unless the voters simply refuse to do it, we got a strong chance at the 2nd ever 2-time winner either - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:35 3
- What RB is the most likely? -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 10:36 2
  - Maybe the kid from Oregon State? Jacquizz something something? - Will Hunting Aug 11, 10:41 1
    - Rodgers -- nm - Redmond Aug 11, 10:53
Thx Jax I got my first 2 free tacos. Printed up 5 coupons and plan on hitting multiple locations -- nm - Redmond Aug 11, 10:27 22
- I am going to have tacos for lunch today. Because I can ... and because after thursday, it will be many months before I can again. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:31 21
  - what free tacos? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:41 3
    - Redmond's post might be about taco bell, I think - my tacos are not free -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:43 2
      - Jax posted a link this morning to jackinthebox.com for a 2 free tacos coupon good only for today -- nm - Redmond Aug 11, 10:51
      - Redmond will settle for cheap. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:49
  - (I found the paper that lists pre-op instructions ... It's midnight the night before that I stop eating at. So that means I can have lunch tomorrow :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:32 16
    - how on earth do i not know what you are having done? - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:35 15
      - Pre op? - Epiphany Aug 11, 10:38 13
        
        *snicker* I knew that would get a few laughs. (wisdom teeth, andie) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:42 12
        
        free advice: Sleep with a towel on your pillow. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:48 1
        
        I was thinking about exactly this last night. It's a solid idea, especially with white sheets ... heh -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:50
        
        oooooh. (take heart! you'll be eating tacos in a week.) -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:44 8
        
        after having a quadruple wisdom tooth extraction? I remain doubtful. But thanks for the encouragement :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:50 7
        
        i had it, i ate a cheeseburger the next day. people react differently, but it's not like your guaranteed horror. -- nm - Elf Andie Aug 11, 10:55 3
        
        I think it depends a lot on whether you get stitches. I couldn't eat anything solid till the stitches came out. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:57 2
        
        It sounded like the doc was hoping to give me dissolving stitches -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:58 1
        
        that's good! -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:59
        
        mouth (and eyes) heal fast -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 10:53
        
        if you're getting chiseled, you'll be sore for awhile, but I think in a week you'll be eating solid food just fine. -- nm - loosilu Aug 11, 10:53
        
        You need to relax. - Spawn Aug 11, 10:51
        
        You mean, it's not gender reassignment? *cancels trip* -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 10:44
      - Well, let's just say get ready for Beryllia. -- nm - Dano Aug 11, 10:37
(happy noise) - ty97 Aug 11, 10:21 7

    - I'm trying not to get too excited, just in case things fall through - ty97 Aug 11, 10:44
- "Cleanup, Aisle 5" -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:23
beware of becoming the evil you are trying to fight. -- (link) - znufrii Aug 11, 10:17 5
- The docks in NY and Jersey and corrupt? *shocking* -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:19 4
  - I know, who'd've thunk? -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 10:20 3
    - The next thing they'll tell us is the Fish Market is also corrupt. - Krusty Aug 11, 10:23 2
      - the seattle fish market? The flying fish are full of money. Fact. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 10:25 1
        
        No, not Seattle but if they're throwing fish with cash I think I need to get there a.s.a.p. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 10:46
