  1. I wouldn't leave the Marine Corps out of this because somebody has to land on the alien planet's surface and fight the Bugs.
  2. First question-- does this seller charge you 3% more for using a credit card? If not, I figure you could turn around and make about $40 profit selling to a good local dealer IF the price of gold stayed about the same. CSB/Back when eBay didn't suck, and I had a store there selling all kinds of things, about once every three months I'd accumulate enough eBay bucks to get gold under spot, and there were no sales taxes on it. (There aren't supposed to be sales taxes on bullion in many states, but the eBay algorithm tries to slap in there now, blah.) So it'd go like this: first you'd see something you needed in bulk, whatever kind of widgets, so you'd stock that up and get the eBay Bucks, say 20 dollars. They activate at some point, then you go gold hunting on a day when you get more eBay bucks if you buy stuff. So say you see a $200 gold coin, it's marked up a little to say 215. You use your $20 eBay Bucks as part of the purchase price, and only had to pay 195 real dollars for the 200 worth of gold. Shweet. But wait-- you are a savvy shopper so you bought an auction that also gave you more eBay Bucks, and in a few months they activate and you can do it again. I went most of a year buying a little this and that a smidge under spot. I guess I could have run down to the coin shop and made 5 or ten bucks back over what I paid, but the only things Goblins swap gold for is swords./CSB
  3. I was gonna say "if you want a Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken cup, I could get you a Jim's Crispy Fried Chicken cup, believe me Dude, there are ways you don't wanna know..." -- but then I realized I would be doing work, so that's a no-go. In the spirit of teaching a man to fish, here's how you get one: First, get up to speed on your graphic design: https://admc.austincc.edu/viscom/our-program/graphic-design-2/ Then make an account here or similar and upload your own Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken mock-up design: https://www.redbubble.com/ Order cups, koozies or whatever from yourself before anybody alerts them to a trademark infringement and they pull all your work. This info was shared in the understanding that you will use it as a thought-exercise and not actually violate any laws.
  4. Do you live in an alternate universe where the NCAA cares about things?
  5. Good thing she got paid. All I got was a depressing 9 months there followed by insane cackling laughter as I peeled out of town.
  6. Dude. Got behind one today who was driving the Tesla like a golf cart, as in, maybe 7 mph down a city street. Then she stops. Middle of the street. I thought maybe planning some Kung Fu parking move on the left after oncoming traffic went past. Nope, just felt like stopping. Then zigged to the right and parked at a weird angle where I'm not sure if the car next to her could get out.
  7. They're gonna drag down Florida schools and STILL not get better in football.
  8. Gotta love those special realtor cameras that make every room look 47 feet deep.
  9. Too much work. Just roofie Corch and take some polaroids of him in bed with a drag queen.
  10. https://www.theonion.com/gay-pride-parade-sets-mainstream-acceptance-of-gays-bac-1819566014
  11. So I guess he's pretty much wiped out drug dealing in Florida.
  12. Gavin will have that little meatball head a wobblin'.
  13. Similar thing happened to Mrs. Canecutter at a past job. She found a new one where she made more than the boss who wouldn't promote her. Your work buddy will be gone, and rightfully so, after a 3x snub.
  14. Looks like somebody took Ben Stein's money.
  15. Kind o fits in in the District of Lost Dude Enslaving The Natives And Making Them Dig For Gold.
  16. As a god. Now let us pray: SAD. LIKE A DOG. BIG MAN, STRONG MAN. SAD.
  17. During the character's drunk parts, I was cold sober. For the scenes where he sobered up, they gave me lots of beer to drink before hand.
  18. I am not a lawyer, but I played one in a student film at UT. No, wait... that was an alcoholic.
