they didnt take anything else. the only thing of value is my car seat.

someone also stole one of my trash cans .. again why? i assume it was some construction guys doing a job near by.

actually they did take all my change, which was mostly pennies anyway.

If your rims are somewhere between average and excellent, you should put new wheel locks on that thing asap. That sucks man.

I did not see mention of any alcohol consumption during the construction? Definitely a necessary component.....for successful completion

well, it was pretty good... for a retarded movie about fart jokes. I mean, it's not a great movie, but definitely better than TMNT, tansformers 4, dumb and dumber to, or a huge pile of other garbage that's been shoveled through theatres lately. if you skip it, you won't be missing anything though. it's pretty much like every other seth rogen movie ever made.

The Warpath must have been infected with a stupid-bug once the season ended, because some of the talk on here lately has been mind-numbing. I think it was WillH who said something to the tune of, "I've never seen so much eloquent nonsense in one thread." LOL. And it can't be my fault this time... I've barely been on here in the last week or so.

How far away is September again?

im tired of "fans" complaining about other "fans". As if any person on here outside of a handful of posters have superior football IQ and knowledge. but i digress . .

The parking garage guy is really grinding my gears.

We have pay parking in the garage underneath our office building.

A few weeks ago i had to run out and pick someone up. I pay my ticket to him to get out, pick up the person then drive back to garage, get another ticket and park. When i paid at the end of the day, the garage guy said "you didnt have to pay twice, you could have just told him you were coming right back and I would have let you out."

Today - someone needs picked up. I volunteer since I now think i can leave the garage for a quick second and not have to pay two tickets. i pull up to the ticket booth, say "im going to be 2 mins, can you let me out?".

he says "no, you need to pay to get out."

so I had to pay to get out for that 5 mins and will have to pay again when i head home.

im guessin he was in the holiday spirit when he told me i didnt have to pay if i was leaving for a short time a few weeks ago. our office did get him a holiday present and all ...

i feel torn saying this ...

The "blacklivesmatter" protesters are starting to grind my gears.

Back on Nov 25, they shut down downtown Baltimore during evening rush hour. It took me about 2 hours to go 5 miles.

Yesterday, they apparently decided to hold a rally. They didnt say their route until right before rush hour traffic and then proceeded to close down major downtown intersections.

So yesterday it took me only an hour to cut across downtown.

I support the idea of "blacklivesmatter", i do believe police disproportionately target black men and also have a heightened sense of fear around black men which leads to unequal treatment.

Why cant they plan a huge march on a saturday or sunday? i would join, my family would join. It would get positive press instead of negative.

Intentionally blocking traffic to make life miserable for hundred of thousands of people is the opposite way to get people to be receptive to your message.

I know there have been a zillion organized marchs in the past and other less obstructive attempts have been made for a century now ... .. .


but this is .. inconvenient for me? im a jerk
