What was I supposed to do?  Leave a Gadsden flag and a swastika on his body?

I don't think I realized that clove cigarettes could no longer be sold in US. Good riddance.

It appears the common motif is Bill Maher style  punch lines unrelated to the service.

As I was just re-visiting this for the image - I'd say, certainly they are meant to appeal to liberals / I think I heard something (urban legend?) about the head of manhattan mini-storage saying that they didn't really need ads speaking about advantages of their service to get customers. Nature of Manhattan gets them that just as long as their name is out there.

They're actually illegal in Maryland.  Never had a chance to lock anybody up for them, though.

[garbon]

Apparently banned nationwide in '09 along with other flavored cigs.

Who said anything about maintaining it?  Just need it once.

Cruelty to animals, much?

Fuck you, I saved a turtle from traffic today.  Ungrateful bastard hissed at me.  Was that jump off the curb and onto his back a suicide attempt, or merely a twisted cry for help?  We'll never know;  if he wants to try it again, he's got one hell of a distance to go this time, went off road and put his snappy little ass about 100 yards into the woods.

You are a good man.

Shit, they were made illegal in Maryland back in the 1940's, I think.  Big Tobacco was still pretty big here back then, couldn't let anybody muscle in on the action, you know.

Which insects are ok to kill? Assuming there are just one or two of them around and not an infestation of course.
To my mind only Mosquitos are truly guilt free murderable. Though cockroaches are a bit evil and too smart for their own good....
My coworker just killed an ant I was watching make its way across the room

Which insects are ok to kill?

All of them?

You monster.


I've just been for a walk/jog/explore in the country east of town, further than I've been before. I oddly enough discovered the fields open up into what seems to be another village over there. Shortly after this village I came to a road which I had planned to follow in order to loop back to home. The road was heavily fenced off with bright blue construction lights everywhere; this town is generally BLACK, no street lights outside of the immediate station area, so it was odd to see this Tokyo-central style construction site. Without a soul in sight either.
I had planned to follow this road and didn't plan to backtrack. The construction seemed to be for a new bridge which I didn't plan on crossing so I figured it would be no problem to climb over the barrier and cut through the construction area.
Within the boundaries of the construction site was a very weird looking shrine. It didn't seem to follow any style I'm familiar with. The blue lights from the construction site illuminated it in a very bizzare way. I wish I knew how to take night time photographs.
As I approached the shrine weird thoughts started coming into my mind. This was just like a scene from a Japanese horror film, and sure enough... "HOLY FUCKING SHIT!" I saw a ghost.
I didn't obviously. There's no such thing. But I saw something white and vaguely human shape hanging down from the inside ceiling of the shrine. Cursing and lashing out (it was too far away for that) is my instinctual reaction to ghosts.
I made my get away quickly.
Later on my walk a mouse decided to ram my foot. I disturbed it with the light from my phone and it just ran right at me.
I think I'm cursed.

edit- I just brushed my hair and found a hair which is about 4 inches too long to be one of mine.

[garbon]

Mental?

[Caliga]

I think I'm cursed.

Relax.

Fall of the West, part 37.

Coming to an office near you?

Only if you pry the gun from my cold, dead hands

[Valmy]

What the hell?  Shorts with dark shoes and a sports coat with no tie?  What is that shit?
