  1. Tell me you've never had a daughter in girl scouts without having a daughter in girl scouts. As a seller, you pick up your cookies, sell them, and then turn in the money. Given that a box is now 5 bucks, three large is only 600 boxes, which is not an unusually large number of boxes. This guy either ate all the boxes himself, or they were sold and he kept the money. Or some of both. Then was a dick about it. Years ago, I told my daughter she had to keep track of all the money, thinking it would be a good learning experience. Instead it was a shitshow (my fault on that one), so like an adult I paid the missing shortage out of my own pocket. edit to add: DoTARd says "This guy stole three thousand from the girl scouts? Sad. I stole millions from kids with cancer, a lot of people are saying that is the lowest of the low, none lower, believe me."
  2. This is some bullshit.
  3. Victims who were paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. How much were you victimized Lil Marco?
  4. They would have gotten away with it if they hadn't named the network "Totally illegal Chief's Mess network"
  5. He was navy. I don't know if he attended any Iwo Jima survivor gatherings, but he did go to his troop ship reunions (USS Millet iirc) every time they had one, pretty much up until he died. His troop ship was in Tokyo Bay at the signing of the Japanese surrender.
  6. Same same for my grandfather. Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima (silver star), Okinawa. At Iwo Jima his boat was sunk (killing or drowning almost everyone onboard), he swam to shore, towing a Marine with him, hitched a ride back to the troopship, hosed the blood out of another higgin's boat whose coxswain was killed in the previous run, and was right back at it.
  7. So when do we get to the "Death" part of the Death Cult? Covid did its best, but fell short.
  8. So, uh, for um, scientific research purposes, can somebody tell me what movie that's from?
  9. I have a vague recollection of a New Yorker article that was about this type of thing happening frequently in Africa. Boyfriends/husbands free loading off of elite level female athletes, which of course frequently ends in abuse or death.
  10. you guessed it-- Frank Stallone
  11. I have a friend who commutes 70 or 75 miles one way, 140-150 miles a day. Most of that is on highway with speed limits of 70 or 75. Takes him over an hour one way. He's not really saving anything in taxes, its more about the quality of life where he lives vs where he would be living if he lived near his work place.
  12. The wildlife, fishing guides, naturalists, and biologists, not to mention a significant number of the people who live around Boca Chica disagree. '
  13. Freshman daughter made the Varsity Cross Country team. Very proud dad over here.
  14. what is a prepaid charge?
  15. Last of the V-8 Interceptors for me.
  16. Years ago i was watching TV while the wife was cooking something. She comes in and starts watching TV with me, then later goes back into the kitchen and screams. Grease fire raging on the stove top. But that's not why I'm here right now. Daughter had a volleyball game at 5. I stop by after work, as does the wife. During the game, she asks me if we can switch cars because the low tire pressure light is on. I say sure. After the game, daughter is supposed to stay for the Varsity game (she's a freshman). So wife stays to bring her home, while I leave and take car of the tire pressure. I get home, turn on a DVR'ed game I didn't watch this weekend, crack a cold one, and am settling in when I get a phone call. Stop me if you know where this is going... She doesn't have her fob for my truck, so I have to drive back into town (~25 min drive) and switch back cars with her.
  17. Saw a cybersuck pulling an RV blocking every single charging station a while back. I think I posted a pic in the parking thread.
  18. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Camacho was a much better president that DoTArd. Macho actually cared about his constituents and listened to people (well one person) smarter than him in an attempt to actually make things better. DOTarD, not so much.
  19. I'm shocked somebody actually answered the phone.
  20. "Small flying gnat like insects were observed crawling on the walls and flying around the room. The rooms walls had heavy meat buildup," they wrote. Two things here: 1- small flying gnat like insects are flies, which pupate from maggots, which hatch from eggs laid in dead meat. 2- heavy meat building on the walls. I don't even know what that is
  21. About a year ago, a Fed Ex "delivery truck" (actually somebody's van with a Fed Ex sticker on the side) broke down in our neighborhood. The driver basically abandoned it on the side of the road, right in front of somebody's house. It was there for over a week, before the county (or somebody) finally towed it. Walking the dogs by it everyday, looking at it up close, it was such a piece of shit. Mismatched tires, bumper dented in, damage on a quarter panel, cracked windshield, interior all trashed.
  22. But not as much as when he dies, amirite? she plains on primarying him if he doesn't retire.
