I mean it seems reasonable.

Not really a funny subject that a child has to go through something like this at an age where life should be carefree and a happy time.

You are totally right! My posting on a Redskin fan web site has totally destoryed this young girls childhood. Pfff...Drink your coffee and lighten up.

Subtract the beer and you've got yourself a Utah engagement.

Police say arranged marriages involving underage girls have become a problem in this small Central Coast farming community.

This guy went to the police to get his daughter back because he hadn't received payment for her. Wow. :doh:

this kind of stuff still happens? WTF?

Wow.. .I had no idea that was even an option. I wonder what I could get for my wife? I mean, I'd settle for $16, a 6 pack of PBR and a hot dog. Wonder what the exchange rate is....

My wife and I got shirts on our honeymoon (I'll have to dig the photos out soon) from Crazy Shirts (http://www.crazyshirts.com), one is beer-dyed saying "Will Sell Wife For Beer" and the other is chocolate-dyed saying "Will Sell Husband For Chocolate". I've worn that shirt our numerous times, and have yet to receive a solid offer, so if you can get $16, a 6er of PBR and a hot dog (preferably a half-smoke), I'd take it... ;)
