He was arrested for saying "goddamn"? 

My father would be in jail for life.  And I'd be in the cell next to him if anyone ever heard me during an Eagles game, since I've asked God to condemn the Giants, taterskins, Cowboys, Terrell Owens, Ronde Barber and Andy Reid.  Just from the top of my head.

I've vaguely heard of this before, but when I saw the trailer for "The Messengers", I thought I'd try it out wth my kids. I read a story about some convenience stores using ultrasonic sounds that generally only teenagers can hear, to drive away teen loiterers. This movie has used this premise to explain kid's ability to see paranormal activity.

Check out the 2 links below to listen to these sounds. I can barely notice them from 1-2 feet away, but they annoy my 9 & 11 yr olds from 20 feet. Ha ha ha ha....

I read a story about some convenience stores using ultrasonic sounds that generally only teenagers can hear, to drive away teen loiterers.

Is that what that noise is for? I used to hear that a lot in some of the stores in the mall...when I was a teenager. I thought it had something to do with the security system. I used to totally hate it. My parents couldn't hear it, but it gave me headaches.

"Hang up? Hang Up? I'll show you how to HANG THE farg UP!!"

Prosecutors said Marlon Brando Gill, 25, of Kansas City, forced the cell phone into Melinda Abell's mouth during a quarrel in December 2005.

Inqlings | 'Wild Thing' hot off the grill
By Michael Klein
Inquirer Columnist

Poor Mitch Williams.

A wild thing happened to the former Phillies pitcher in the predawn darkness Friday outside the Wachovia Center before the WIP Wing Bowl.

Waiting on a friend, he pulled his '06 Chrysler 300 into a parking spot. Soon, "I smelled something kind of burning in my car," Williams says. "I got out, finally, and saw smoke. I was trying to get the hood open, and I couldn't get it open, and I looked underneath."

Someone had left a barbecue grill smoldering in the lot, and it ignited the car's engine.

As the French might describe it, vehicle flambé.

The car, he says, is a loss. But he did save his golf clubs in the trunk

Joe Carter was tailgating before Wing Bowl?

I can't get enough jelly beans.

I went out last night and got totally shtein faced. I projectile vomited. And amazingly I do not have a hangover today.

I projectile vomited. And amazingly I do not have a hangover today.

Those two events are as interrelated as it gets.

There was once or twice (or more) in college that I puked somewhat on purpose to avoid the severe hangover.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I pretty much initiated the puke by putting in a dip. I knew it would most likely come back up and it did.

[MDS]

You white trash hillbilly. Dipping? Come on, stay away from the stereotypes.

[PhillyPhreak54]

 

Dipping is not limited to white trash rednecks, Todd. Putting a big ol' plug of Redman in is a redneck thing, yes. Copenhagen/Skoal, not so much.
