easy for Trump to get taxpayers to prop up his real estate, unfortunately. He gets a presidential library, and i am sure he will want it on the top floor of his own building, rented in perpetuity to the government. MF.

On a PBS Nova special about sink holes, they explained that Florida municipalities will zone areas for residential buildings even though the area is known for sinkholes. The reason? Until the home sinks into the ground, the municipalities get real estate taxes. Unbelievable.

I heard on NPR that prices on real estate in Little Cuba are going up. Not because of any particular gentrifications. The neighborhood happens to be on one of the highest areas above sea level in Miami

I live out in the country, and people there get them all the time. A very nice bartender said she was going to get another, since “this artist in NH is only charging $30.” Really? The thought process of “this is only $30, so i’ll take advantage of this deal, and have a $30 tatoo on my body for the rest of my life.” If…

I was wondering this too, if he realized during the tatooing (?) process that this was a mistake. It would be tough to stop midway, and say, “on second thought...”. 

A commenter below wrote the lawyers did actually say that, in court. Hence (and not surprisingly), the juror was kinda annoyed they would claim that, but of course, not actually do it. Kinda dooms your case to say something like that, and then not do it.

That Monsanto’s own lawyers said “it’s safe enough to drink” puts the juror’s comment much more in perspective. Without this added piece of info, it seemed the juror’s suggestion was kinda out of the blue. Thanks.

I like the “i don’t watch movies. I read.” answer to what movies he likes. So friggin’ honest. Also amazed by “My writing of screenplays only takes a week.”
“What did you do this week, Warner?”
“Mostly reading. made a campfire to cook a trout i caught with my bare hands. Saw wrestlemania, caught up on some news. Oh…

wow. i loved reading Bukowski. neat to know. thanks.

Yea, i’ve been outside maryland. I first got introduced to Natty Boh there, so i am sticking with my brand for the nick-name. (yep, doesn’t make sense, just a personal, most likely illogical, decision. But yes, i am willing to die on a hill of Natty Boh, the real one, in Maryland.)

Republicans support Trump because “the alternative was worse” argument. But god forbid they nominate Kucinich, who would have won handily, getting many democrats (including myself) to vote for him rather than Clinton. The democrats did pave the way for this, basically handing Clinton the nomination (along with…

Really good writing. So difficult to explain to someone not familiar with basketball how weird that was to watch, how totally unlikely. I knew he was going to take the shot. But as a commentator wrote above, it missed, my mind was already at “go to the bathroom, 5 minutes OT are about to begin..” then ... “wait a sec,…

- Sent by my tricorder [actually during a very important mission. The captain, Spoke, and even Bones are here, the first to explore this newly discovered planet. I am the only regular member of the crew to join them. The rest of the crew will be so jealous when i return the the enterprise and tell them what hap...

I had a friend in college who did this working dish belt at fancy alumni dinners. “Most of the wine glasses are still half full, and the alcohol kills the germs!”

Just to be clear, you were a pilot for a commercial airline, and instead of sleeping, you were spending your nights trolling the hallways for uneaten food left on trays. I am sincerely glad nothing happened to the passengers on your next day flights. “Hello folks, this is your pilot. If you look outside your window,…

It’s a fine looking ham, but it is worth $206? (And actually, i am not really sure if it is fine looking. I am Jewish, so i have no friggin’ clue what makes a ham “fine lookin”. I honestly thought someone had already grabbed a portion of the lower half, but heck, maybe that is how it is supposed to look.) Side…

I worked dish belt at college. We would get offers to do dish belt during fancy alumni dinners. I declined, and a friend said i was nuts for not taking the gig, as she did. “Dude, all these glasses half full of wine come down the belt, and you can finish them. You get wasted by the end of your shift!” One of the few…

“Natty Light”?!?
The name “Natty” should refer to National Bohemian, the beer of choice for discriminating college students with less than $10, in the Maryland area. I really thought the article was about National Bohemian. When the F did National Light (or whatever that beer is named) start to try to steal that name?…
