You don't think there's any way I can get that quarter from underneath of your pointy boot, do ya? All I want is just one more oatmeal pie.

Dane, I think our knees are a similar vintage, that sounds shockingly appealing.

This flashy little number on ebay caught my eye. link What with the credit crunch, I don't know that I could borrow the requisite 4.9 million Australian dollars though. Anyone one wanna go in on it?

This is Kevbone on 5.13

Huh, my daughter had her purse stolen out of the car outside a gym in Olympia. Being only 17, there was no credit card involved, and only a tiny bit of cash, but they did get her savings account passbook. She just found out they've been using her account to cash fraudulent checks, somehow having gained access to her new account. Oh, it has about $120 more in it now than than the $1500 that was originally in the account, but they've run several thousand dollars of fraudulent paper thought it. I wondered if they had someone who could pass for my daughter (since they had her license as well) but maybe it's one of these ID sort of scams. Pretty wierd. Oh, they also got my five year old digital camera with a broken battery compartment hatch. They'll probably get a stack of money on ebay for that.

Reading this thread, it becomes apparent to me that I haven't been around here enough recently to have a clue what all this is about, and yet I've been around here too long to care.

Yeah, but despite the effort, McCain still lost.

So, the deal is this wannabe millionaire slacker wants to be laid off so he can collect unemployment while he starts his own business? If he believes in his project, he should just quit, not wait for some company paid time off to float his trial balloon. No mistake, the company will pay too, unemployment benefits don't just fall from the sky. If he's so under capitalized he can't stay alive without unemployment benefits from his last job, can't say I'd be confident about the future of his "venture."

Umm...how exactly is it an "aid piece" if you aren't aiding on it? Sound like what most people call "pro". Will, I think Kevin is referring to the use of crack 'n ups as free protection. Lance, you're a pretty funny guy. Too bad you're not my friend, or I might actually like you.

You parse poorly. Correctly translated, that looks like Beer Friday night, climbing at the coulee Saturday. I think steak is on the menu Friday night as well.

Born in Detroit, grew up in San Diego, moved to Olympia in 1979 and Tenino in 1981. Did two years in Tucson in the mid eighties. Yeah, I always suspected you were vomited forth...

I'm just twigging to the fact that your avatar really does mean "romance writer." Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Do we need a betting pool for how many hours after reopening we're going to lose the Mountain Loop Highway again?

Yeah, well, fuck you anyway.

Don't worry Bug, Marc's in Canada.

Nice phrasing, accurate too I think. It's also not necessarily a bad thing either: the red ant/black ant paradigm of politics in this country is really not an asset. Better to think Purple rather than Red or Blue.

Is that your pet name for it? TMI buddy.

Please don't feed the ego, he can forage for himself.

What's a TBI?

I think Scott's job position in the past has generally been such that there is no "post" yet to the traumatic distress.

I knew a guy in a band down in Tucson in the mid eighties, Van Christian in Naked Prey, who asserted that his personal drug plan was "Just Say A Little"

There's a lot of guys to the right of Obama, but not as many as the Republican Party would have you believe. I think he's a lot more centrist than the McCain camp wanted people to believe.

Very nice. You get double points for it not being about baseball!

Sorry to hear about your troubles Pope, it sucks enough to have that happen to your house even without the attendant insurance hassle.
