I also fart in your general direction!

This reminds me of a story about some stupid teenage girl who racked up a $20k phone bill by texting a phrase to the Red Cross Hati Earthquake Releif Fund hundreds of times because she thought that doing so would magically produce a $10 donation to the fund. What it was actually doing was adding a $10 charge to her…

Here is the link to the story about the real case: http://articles.latimes.com/1999/aug/07/ne…

That was based on a true story. The woman who was doing the smuggling was married to a US Army Colonel who was assigned to the DEA in Columbia, and she was using military transport flights as a way to bypass airport security. Her husband was eventually deemed to be completely clueless about her activities.

This is what they do with sheriff’s deputies who are too old for the street, but don't want to retire. Or, even more likely, this guy has never worked on the street, and worked in courtrooms his whole career, which is why he is so damn old. He never got burned out working a beat all the time, so he is in no hurry to…

How is that even possible? That was not enough time to go through the requirements for all of the charges. They just want to be done before the holidays, so they took a quick vote, realized they were split, and went around and asked if anyone wanted to change their position. Hell, I have seen juries who could not…

He still has a douchebag name.....

Mom? Is that you?

Half of the girls in Germany are princesses, in the sense that they are spoiled brats who do not know how to live on their own. I dated a German student who was so clueless that she put our clothes in the dryer and dumped laundry detergent on them (liquid), and started the dryer. Her explanation was that they had a…

Try finding a laundromat in Europe, I dare you. I know of one in Geneva, Switzerland. We went on a 30 day rail pass last October, and I had to route us through Geneva just to hit that place at one point. We also left a spare bag of clean clothes in a locker at the Frankfurt airport, which is one way to deal with an…

“I have no idea what she had in those two huge suitcases.”

This sucks. Half the fun of the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies is seeing how old and fat they have gotten, so when it starts happening to you, you don’t feel so bad. I see Bret Farvre selling just about anything on TV, and I think, “Damn, we are the same age, and I do not look that fucking old!”. I realize I used…

I see what you did there.

Google South Carolina. That should explain it all. If it is still not clear, then visit SC. It is 90% shithole with a decent coastline(by mid Atlantic standards - meaning mud brown water). It is the #1 state for percentage of population living in mobile homes. I swear they actually build old abandoned businesses. It…

Meanwhile, at my high school, we had numerous requests for a weight lifting room denied because of the cost. Someone on the school board finally was able to weasel approval to purchase all of the equipment past the board, leaving them with no where to put it. They finally approved enough money to build one - if the…

Microsoft makes old computers obsolete all the time when they release new versions of Windows. The same is true of Apple. When they upgrade the OS, then older machines will be left behind. You can keep the old software, or upgrade the iPad. There is a world of difference between the iPad 2 and the iPad Air 2. It will…

No, you really do not want a water line run to it. I had a friend who installed a device like this with a water line attached. One day while they were at work, the dog knocked it over, or tried to pick it up, and it fell over and ran for several hours. They had over $15,000 in repair bills from the water damage.

I would like to see Gizmodo do a story about Anker and their relationships with other manufacturers who sell what are obviously Anker batteries with some minor changes to the outer cases (I have even looked inside, and they are Anker’s stuff, and not Chinese knock offs. There are at least 2 other companies (probably…

This is very true! I will have to revise my mantra above to include this fact. Great point. :)

At least he didn’t pick Bruce/Caitlyn. Obviously, there is still a light on in there. I would deny knowing the rest of them as well, and assume it was all a fever dream.
