^For it is a human number...

Seth: sorry to hear about the theft. That's really shitty.

New signed hardcover went on sale today. Out of my price range at the moment, but I'm sure someone here will be interested.

Goddam world's going to hell in a handbasket when someone targets my 2002 POS Civic to break a window to get into to steal a just as old radio and 3 inch screen obsolete GPS, as well as my toolkit from my trunk. Probably not worth a claim, so "Yay" another damn expense this summer. Why they'd choose my garbage car with it's Primer Paint trunk over all the nicer ones out there with actually valuable radios in them. Dammit.

Ugh - so lame. The window's worth a claim, though, right?

I don't even lock my car for just that reason - if they're going to steal, at least don't break a window too. Stupid methheads.

Probably not, they at least went for the tiny rear vent window rather than one of the full size panels. Quick look at eBay shows around a $40 price and our mechanic will give a good deal if we can't do it ourselves. I rather doubt that the insurance would give us much for any of the stolen contents, so with deductible probably not worth it.

Yeah, some say I'm a pessimist... but to much crap has happened to me in the past, I prefer realist. If people will steal your dirty towels out of the washer at the laundry-mat, they'll steal anything if given half a chance.

I believe that about people stealing things whole heartily. It's amazing what people will take whether they need it or not.

Someone stole my sweaty towel from the park where I was running a month or so ago. I was doing a 5 km loop and when I came back to the bench, it was gone. Enjoy my groinal sweat, fucko.

PROBABLY A GOOD SAMARITAN DISPOSING OF YOUR LITTER.

The Last Word: Stephen King on Trump, Writing, Why Selfies Are Evil

The worst part of the job … this is weird, but I'm going to probably go see the Red Sox play this weekend. These autograph people always show up in front of the hotel and I can't go out and get a sandwich. I can't go out to a movie without brushing these people off. It makes you feel like you’re on stage, when you don't want to be on stage.

Cool article, thanks for posting!

Pretty cool



By the way, 'strandbeest' refers to the very creative work of one of my fellow countrymen, which you can check out here: https://www.youtube.com/user/strandbeestfilm

Most of them are actually propelled by wind only. Example:

I will turn 30 in december, and since a few months i have that crazy idea in my mind that I kind of want to attend the Knotfest festival in tokyo in november (with Slipknot both nights, and disturbed, lamb of god & marilyn manson).
Frankly I have no idea why it didn't cross my mind that I could have seen Slipknot both nights in february for not much more money if I wanted to. Just didn't think about it. Moron.

I love the BREXTIT. The US Dollar has not been this strong in 15+ years.

The price for a 1st Gunslinger DJ is still $600+ US, but now the Euro and the Pound are almost at parity. Not like the old days...

I finally got my mom to read a Stephen King book! She is a big Nicholas Sparks fan if that tells you the sort of books she likes. I got her to read Dolores Claiborne and she loved it! I can't think of too many others by him she would like because she doesn't care for anything too scary and she doesn't like supernatural elements either but I'm glad I got her to read one of his books!

Fly to California in September. Ozzfest one night, and Knotfest the next.

Now that sounds like a good plan

I usually suggest the novels I disliked the most to my relatives, figuring if my warped brain loved it then they would enjoy the exact opposite Therefore I suggested Dolores, Rose Madder, and Lisey's Story

Don't say that... it's tempting.
Slayer, Devildriver (that once came nearby-ish Paris : i bought ticket but finished work late and it was 1h30 away from Paris, didnt have time to go), megadeth, anthrax, trivirum (saw them 10 years ago?), black sabbath, children of bodom, megadeth, opeth, disturbed....
Anyway, it's "too early" compared to my bday in december, and flights way more expensive than Tokyo

I almost could sell her on Rose Madder if it didn't have the part about the painting in there. Almost...

Brexit II?

[TCCBodhi]

If there are any Denver area TDT members that would like to meet up, I'll be there from 7/2 - 7/7 for a choir performance on the 6th! It would be great to come to see you, have a drink/meal and/or come by and see your collection while I'm there. I'll mostly be in the Arts District. I'd love to meet some of you!

PM me or even email me at tccbodhi at the big google email system.

Brexit II?

How about Texit Part ∞? Texans can be a special kind of stupid sometimes. While I appreciate the spirit of independence, the practicality of such ideas are just amazingly shortsighted (as was Brexit).

I hope so. It's his company. (I think)

[webstar1000]

Nope it's not mine boys.... My wife's father is president and my wife Vice President... I am a manager of one of the stores... I am just leaving now and it's 10 to 10 my time. I started at 5am this morning... Breaks only for bathroom and a quick bite. No extra cash unfortunately... Doing it to help my wife and her family... But it's sure is catching up to me

He's moving of his own volition.
Who should pay/reimburse him?
Feel free to send him $10K (US Dollars everything else is worthless) if you are worried.
