The Off Topic Topic

Another story was about a Long Island high school kid who has been arrested for taking SATs for six other students.  He charged $1,500-$2,500 per.  He has been charged with a felony, the dumb rich kids are being charged with misdemeanors.  Not sure I get that one.

He's not rich, and so his parents aren't able to provide political pressure.  No prosecutor ever lost an election for dropping the hammer on a poor kid.

Two separate issues.  One is that I didn't realize that automatic bill pay doesn't transfer over when you move.  Therefore, I'm 2 months behind on that.  The more infuriating issue is that I was told by the technician setting up the cable that he didn't need my old cable box back, since it was too old.  Apparently, he was wrong, and he was not authorized to say that, because Comcast charged me for it.

I'm now trying to track down my old apartment building management, to see what they've done with it.  If they threw it out, I'm screwed.  Those cable boxes must be made out of gold.

This just in: all of Comcast's field techs are contractors, and they don't know what the fuck they're talking about.

Languish- this doesn't quite merit a thread, but I am going to write a speech about maladies that can improve a young woman, refining her from the vulgar sensibilities of the modern era to something more in line with classical beauty.

So far I have blindness, to fight vanity, build a wall of separation from the impure women of society, and encourage her to be a homebound lady,
and anemia to prevent her from unfeminine levels of exertion, a becoming pallor, and a certain languid poise.

What is the best third candidate, though? We want something adorable.  TB and narcolepsy are not ideal, but in the absence of a superior candidate I may have to choose one to go forward.

I so enjoy watching the budding development of a serial killer.

 Now CdM! I am incredibly gentle. I like tea, naps, and kittens.

In any event, I am toying with going with "the vapours" as the third option.

It will be hard to defend, and harder to back up the clinical evidence.

he couldn't even pull off his cross country tour. It takes commitment and drive to be a serial killer. At best he'll get one and get caught wearing her as a dress. My bet is he'll snap and spend the remainder of his days drawing cat girls on the loonie bin walls.

 haha HVC! You try spending the summer abroad amongst yankees! I did just fine, i'll have you know. It was a learning experience and I am proud of it. I was gone for some two months amongst the beast, you know.

And I met real mormons! no, the VISION QUEST TO THE WEST was a brilliant success that taught me all about renouncing the defiled world and attaining the pure land.

edit: I hesitate to say it, but i've sort of grown out of catgirls 

I still like cats, and girls. Hard to say why they quit clicking so pleasantly. It is all about maids.

[HVC]

So what you're saying is that you do have what it takes to become a serial killer?

[Lettow77]

 Er, not at all. I am a gentle soul! I want a corgi.

What is this from? Some kind of Redwallesque RPG?

[Neil]

That looks lik 4th edition.  You know, in a less enlightened age, you would be beaten for a faux-pas this serious.

Haha just watched the Braves and Red Sox get knocked out of the playoffs.     Watched the Orioles hit the game winning single in the bottom of the 9th, changed channels and boom Longoria home run to knock THA SAWKS out of the playoffs and send Tampa to play the Rangers.  Glorious.

Between the loss to the Bills and the elimination of the Sox, Boston has going to lose it's shit.  If the Raiders win on Sunday, the town will burn.

Biggest collapse in Baseball history!
