That happened to me once. (Having an immediate boss fired suddenly.) I was 23 years old, and she had treated me well, in an almost motherly way, so it was quite jarring. She was fired because she was caught snooping at the salaries of other managers.

It would be nice if "they" could design an axle that allows the wheels to turn a full 90 degrees. Then, all you'd have to do is pull up next to the opening, rotate the wheels the 90 degrees, and move sideways into the spot.

I got into a big argument with a guy on the phone about this. I've replaced my stupid HD DVR box three times in a year. We got into an argument about a refund and about what classifies "lack of service". My argument being that paying for the ability to record shows to watch later, and then losing more than a months worth of data due to their faulty and pathetic boxes, not to mention the two days I was without waiting for the cable guy (to document that the box sucked) counts as lack of service and deserves a refund of at leaset the $10 fee a month on the damn thing. Nope. I haven't worked up the energy to call back up and A. demand a refund again, B. threaten to switch to Fios and try to get back on the intro-promotional rate. I want to switch to a second TIVO box (got on on the SD tv) because i can then replace the cable box with a card and save ~$15/mo which is way less than the TIVO monthly charge, I just have to find the money to buy one. Never heard of blue/black ink...I prefer black anyway.

You carry your birth certificate around in your wallet? Your Social Security card? Almost every other form of government-issued ID-- driver's license, benefits card, what have you-- generally suffices for most law-enforcement-related purposes. I guess we'll have to disagree on this one.

If you are a citizen, you are not required to carry it anywhere, including Arizona. If you aren't a citizen, federal law required you to carry papers (be it a greencard, work visa, passport, whatever) at all times for longer than anyone here has been alive.

Went out to get the paper today and saw there was a small sign on a post on my lawn. It said that chemicals had been applied to my lawn. I called the company. It is one of those lawn care companies and found out they had sprayed my lawn by mistake. My house is # 43 and they should have done # 42, across the street. Compounding the confusion is that we both have the same first name, and our last names sound similar if heard on a telephone (to order the service).

This is the tack I'd imagine most MFY fans/defenders of the ad are taking, sorta. It's a tribute to people whose job is more important than theirs, and he's humbled. Here's the problem: 1) Calculated, televised public displays of humility are pretty much the opposite of humble, aren't they? "I'm a man who appreciates how insignificant my supremely-rewarded All-Star talents are... that's the kind of man I am. By the way, check my terrible jump-throw! And d'you notice the Ford I'm driving?" 2) The guys in the ad wearing FDNY gear are stand-up comics and commercial actors, NOT FUCKING FIREFIGHTERS. To whom is he supplicating himself, exactly? Lenny Clarke and the guy who played Reggie Jackson on an ESPN miniseries?

In the movie "The Goonies," how did all of the parents know to show up at the beach right when the kids are getting away from the pirate ship at the end? And how many minutes did Chunk's parents need to decide that they were going to adopt a 35 year old 6'7" retard with twitchy ears?

It must have all been some serious sleuthing by the Astoria Sheriff's Dept. I can only assume that other parents called, too, when their kids didn't show for dinner, and then the sheriff realized that Chunk wasn't full of shit. Trying to remember what Chunk told the sheriff, but he def knew about the Fratelli's and the restaurant (yeah?), which we know is just a short bike ride away from where all the families lived. Once the pirate ship cracked through the wall and hit the Pacific, probably lots of peeps called the sheriff, and he quickly notified the families, who could then drive to the beach in a matter of minutes to meet the kids. I can't explain explain why or how Chunk's family had time to get a hot pizza, though.

The main action of "Goonies" takes place overnight, does it? I don't remember. If not... it's still daylight on the day of the Goondocks sale, isn't it? So that shoots the not-home-for-dinner hypothesis out of the water, there. Maybe Chunk's parents carried pizza in a hotbag (did these exist in '85?) with them, just in case of a Truffle Tantrum? I kinda find myself hating this movie.

| A Boy Named Seo Jul 08 2010 11:09 AM Re: Apropos of nothing thread 2010 |

Yes, overnight. When the kids are biking to the restaurant, it's darker and sorta gray and Chunk complains (duh) about missing dinner. When they're underneath the restaurant later and find the wishing well, it's dark up top when that dickhead Troy pulls the bucket up. Then when they escape at the end and wind up on the beach, it's daytime again.

Today I have my replacement phone. I had to pay the deductible, but that cost was far, far less than the market value of the smartphone that was damaged.

An underrated source of humor: when the wannabe-coach Type A (or two) on your rec/work slo-pitch team spends all game feeding semi-reliable rules/tips to everyone on the team (and being more than a little patronizing to the handful of women on the team), and then gets nailed for an easy DP because he does something like run like hell on contact when there's one out.

While my wife and son are spending the day at Sesame Place I spent it at the ER over at Jacobi. I have suffered from chronic ingrown toenails for years. I can trace it back to about a week after coming to NY I had an accident on a construction site that broke both big toes. Of course having just got here I told no one and never got them treated. I have had problems since. A Podiatrist did surgical treatment a few years ago but as in some cases the ingrown problems reoccur. I would trim them back myself and about three weeks ago when doing the right big toe if felt wrong.....long story short it's infected and that's why I decided to go to the ER. There was a lot of puss discharging over the last few days and it hurt like hell since Thursday night. It was decided not to do a temporary fix today at the ER but to come back during the week to get treated by a Podiatrist , the pain of the fix is quite high and the Attending Doctor felt a few more days was OK, sent me home with antibiotics and Perocet.

I've got it hooked up to an external now, but I had to switch windows user accounts because my normal one was locking up. Now it randomly just freezes for upwards of 30 seconds (but just the current browser/application I'm trying to type in) The worst part?

Texan chick I met while holidaying in Far North Queensland in early June. She was working behind a bar, I walked in wearing a Mets jersey, she called me over and told me she was an insane Mets fan and basically it went from there.

It seems like every UHaul truck in the tri-state area has Arizona plates. I have to figure it's some sort of insurance reason (or an insurance scam).

| Benjamin Grimm Sep 30 2010 08:16 AM Re: Apropos of nothing thread 2010 |

Maybe all the illegals are fleeing Arizona for New York, and got one-way U-Haul rentals.

| Ceetar Sep 30 2010 08:25 AM Re: Apropos of nothing thread 2010 |

Definitely an insurance thing. probably cheaper to register them in Arizona. You see a lot of rental cars if you rent in the SW in say..Vegas... with Arizona plates.

But how can they do that? If I have a business in NY with a business vehicle, I can't just go and register it in AZ, can I? So where's the loophole for UHaul to do it?

They're U-Haul. They can do whatever they want. If they want to make the sun rise in the west, they can. If they want to make it so you wake up with no job, no home, no Social Security number and your friends and family are strangers, that's all in a day's work for them.

While we're on the topic of of U-Haul, there's a pickup location in Oceanside just off Long Beach Road that I wouldn't recommend. They're slow as molasses!

Wheel spins, comes up 24; guy loses everything. Guy throws $500 on the table, stacks his chips on various individual numbers, all black. Wheel spins, comes up 24; guy loses everything. Guy throws $900 on the table, stacks his chips on various individual numbers, all black. Wheel spins, comes up 24 for the third straight time; guy loses everything, walks away $2400 poorer in the span of about five minutes. My wife and I were stunned.

So do I, but the lure is so strong. Went to Mohegan Sun two weeks ago with the intent to spend exactly ten dollars. Put a ten into the quarter slots, sat and clicked for a few minutes until it jingled and put me up $5, then I hit cash out and walked out with $15. As far as I'm concerned, I'm done for the season, up five bucks. I wish there were dollar tables there, because I would play those for an hour for a break. $5 a hand/spin/roll is a lot for me with two little kids. We used to do a $10 per person poker night weekly right after college for a while; it'd be fun to bring that back.

I've been using Chrome since it came out, absolutely love it , I always thought FireFox had way to much going on and I much prefer the minimalist approach of Chrome , looking forward to the Google Chrome OS in the coming weeks(fingers crossed) , or at least seeing how I'll get one :)

The only thing that bothers me about Chrome is that there are still things that don't work on it. I spent a bunch of time trying to figure out why I couldn't download Picasa albums (albums of my wedding from other people) to my computer, which used to be an option, but it was all grayed out. fretting about privacy settings, etc. Didn't cross my mind until later that Google's photo sharing site wouldn't work properly with their browser, but yup, works fine in firefox.

I've always loved Chrome's speed, but the Scrapbook feature was keeping me on Firefox. When I make an online purchase, I like keeping a screen capture of the order until the goods arrive. Now that I can do the same thing with Chrome, I don't need to stick with Firefox any longer. The Chrome OS is an interesting concept. Will there be netbooks with that system?

We do put sandy soil underneath and around our Christmas trees. The root balls are generally too small to support the tree (a full root ball should be the width of the lower branches, but that's usually unfeasible to get in the door). Our compromise is that we get a slightly smaller tree than we would if we got a cut tree.

Got hit with a ticket at 3:30 am after picking up BetterHalfer on the last night she worked (she's in hospitality management) before taking her pregnancy leave... for not coming to a full stop at an empty off-ramp/empty service road around the corner from our home. When I apologetically mentioned to the officer that I had been in a rush to get my wife home-- motioning to the eight-and-a-half-months-pregnant woman beside me-- he went back to his partner in the car, and, after running my plates and sitting in the car for 19 more minutes (I counted), hit me with an additional one, changing lanes without signaling. On an early Monday morning, with no other reason for the stop, and literally no other cars within sight range (and this was just off the Cross Bronx, where countless livery cabs threaten to take out side mirrors/street signs per hour, all night). I paid the ticket, but not after I got his badge/ID info, and wrote a letter to the local precinct commander to complement the guy on his great judgement and humane work performance.

I admittedly, was speeding. But I was literally the only car even remotely close, so I was just cruising on the flat stretch of route 4. I don't know how fast I was going, I think it was probably around 70ish. First thing he said to me was "any reason for the excessive speed?" and wrote 75 in a 50. 15-19 over is $105, 20-24 over is $200, and 25+ isn't even listed on the ticket. Traffic cops may be one step below telemarketers.. Oh, and i made the mistake of saying I was going home. (giving too much info apparently) so he gave me a hard time about my license being NY while living in NJ, and threatened to look me up in a couple of weeks and mail me a summons. Oh, and the stupid traffic court is 9am on Friday january 7th. not exactly an overly convenient time to fight a traffic ticket.

Since I've been back I've been zapped by a speed camera doing 3 miles above the limit. Two days later, I get pulled over for a breath-test and get a fine cos I didn't have my license on me. Then I get zapped again for doing 6 miles above.

Some colds let you know they're coming for days in advance and you can pretend to do something about it, like pop extra Vitamin C or zinc or sleep with your socks on. Some colds -- like the one I'm battling (and losing to) -- just show up unannounced. They all suck.

My sneezing pattern and colds are completely in synch. When I'm in a non-dusty environment, I may sneeze randomly but never more than once. When a cold hits, the onset is clearly delineated by TWO sneezes in quick succession.

Not as exciting as I let on. Met this girl at breakfast a month or two ago. She was drinking lots of mimosas and she asked me what I was reading, and we talked over eggs & coffee & mimosas for an hour or so, and I slipped her my # and didn't hear from her. Ran into her yesterday (breakfast again, mimosas again) and this time she invites me out for a post-breakfast cocktail (?!) and I say 'maybe' and she calls like an hour later and says to come meet her at this bar and I do, and she's shit-hammered by this time and we rap for a while and she tells me she's a stripper & that's why she's always having cocktails so early at the breakfast joint, cause she just got off work (plus I imagine all the emotional pain from her upbringing & what-not). Interesting chick. She invited me for dinner sometime and I said 'maybe', but I meant 'no' and that was about that. Ever dated a stripper before? I did once. No bueno.
