Wow. Since he didn't crash I'd say he has some luck on his side.

Probably mildly annoyed they pulled him back from The Light, and now he has to put up with more Earthly bullshit for a little while longer.

Last Friday evening, an older overweight gentleman in a brand new F150 passed out in a busy ave/hwy, he drifted from the left lane all the way to the ditch on the right side. Like 5 or 6 cars stopped to help, including an off duty paramedic, 2 of us military, and a real big black dude, we banged on the windows and tried all doors, but no reaction. He started to turn blue, so we broke a window to open the door, turned off the truck, and pulled him out. It took 5 of us to get him out of the ditch and onto the road, even with the big black hulk that was there. He had a weak pulse and snorted by himself a few times. The fire dept paramedics got there in about 3 or 4 minutes, he had an IV and got jump started twice before he was in an ambulance.

People stopped to help, PD and FD just a mile away, hospital about 3 miles away, and I still wonder if he made it. :unsure:  Poor fat bastard.  :(

You really should follow up on this.

My Dad saw a nasty, mange-covered fox Saturday at my sister's place while they were gone.  This goddamned fox didn't budge when he had my sister's other dog with him, it merely sat down and watched them from about 20 feet away.  So Dad figured this fox was either A) sick or B) crazy or C) both, especially with the Barclay the German Shepard around, so he went back home to get his gun, came back but the fox was gone.

Guess what was found dead this AM in my sister's barn, smelling to high heaven?  :x

The correct answer is A: SICK.

I've encountered a couple foxes acting like that.  Figured they were rabid & kept my distance.

I mainly have Coons up to no good around my place. I catch them on a regular basis and they scurry off.

Heh. I like the disclaimer in Braille at the end. I guess the * character is three dots.

Actually I wasn't being entirely honest, as I found the advert because I was putting on some sennheiser headphones in the dark and tried to feel for the left and right engravings. 

I then notice one the left side there three small dots, quick google and turns out all of their headphones have the three braille like dots on the left. 

I don't know if it's actually braille for something, like 'leftl  or if other manufacturers do something similar too.

Just weird I'd never noticed that over all the years I've owned bought headphones from them.

I've been running across the briefings (on the Benghazi scandal) on the Pentagon channel recently...

I, for one, support our administration's hiring of hotties as State Department spokeswomen.

A friend bought a 50 dollar HDMI cable.  :nelson:

I astounded him when I went and got a 2 dollar one from my cable reserve and astounded him with my TECHNO WIZARDRY.

He was PISSED.

You should tell him the mark ups on those things are around 85%.
