My daughter got so much stuff for her birthday and her room was already such a mess, that I took everything out of her room except for her bed and dresser. I'm making her sort through everything to decide whether she wants to keep it or if some kid who can't afford it would rather have it. My place is a wreck right now, but we're slowly getting through stuff. Big day

So that we don't have to have this conversation again.

Needs more tab shtick

That wasn't why I was here.

That "View Student Name & Phone" tab would be great shtick if you were me.

I tried something similar with my wife and her clothes one time. The end result was that she now has 4 closets of clothes and I get to keep mine in a shoebox under the bed.

Everybody's seen the photo of Homer in high school that his friend posted on FB, right?

I got my FB from someone else in here today: My Link

I don't get it...

Since Facebook started using this inane timeline, on your homepage, all 'cover' photos are cut off. That is, unless you scroll up. The stupidest ####ing #### I've seen in a long time.BTW, accept my friend request, dammit.

Done!

Not knowing about the goto last unread post button is like not knowing about the favorite posters feed. Don't know how anyone lives without them.

I have no idea what any of you are talking about. At all.

I don't understand how people could read this thread without using that button.You click it, and it takes you to the last unread post in a thread.Do you really go in and manually search for the last post you read to make sure you don't miss anything? You're wasting valuable minutes of your life.

For the last couple of months, I've been playing catch up on this thread, so I don't really want to see the last post...I want to read where I left off slowly and try to crawl towards the end. Course, that doesn't always work out because I end up replying to a bunch of posts that then take me to the end, which I see and then begin to reply to those, so then I get lost and forget what I'm doing and HEY LOOK! A SQUIRRELL!!!!

Another recently discovered feature. When you quote someone, in their box, there's a curly arrow. Click that and it takes you straight back to the post you quoted.

Ryan mathews is going to be this year. Three downs, lots of tds, great o, committed to the run and play action deep ball. Only problem is he gets dinged up and the backup situation blows.P and s If you ever visit my house, please do not put your vibrator in/on any of my furniture. Why would you even bring a dildo to your mother in laws house?

It's a vibrator not a dildo and we were at the vacation house. With everything going on she forgot it.

Angrywife texted me today to let me know she was getting a pedicure but it autocorrected to say she was getting Medicare. Thought she was leaving me for Tanner for just a second there.

 

[Otis]

Did invisikate check in here during her drive-by? I don't think she realizes the FFA moved into here. We should send out notices to all former top 100 members.

 

[Otis]

Jesus, remember when Otis had a neck? It's all chins now.

[Otis]

FYI I'm calling for a jihad on New Otis. 100% done with his shtick. Sorry fellas. Find a new future presidential assassin to admire.

In

Maybe I read that thread too quick, but what did he do to piss off Furley and (name forgotten)? I'm actually entertained by that thread, so I don't want to see it go

What thread? I like Otis.

It's not that Otis. He's a different Otis. Imagine if the FFA's Otis never got married but instead turned to the darkside and decided to live his life courting women of the night.

I'll need to have my people send a cease-and-desist PM. I can't have this brand watered down any further. Someone please link me up.

 

[kevzilla]

I had dinner at a place called In the Buns Burger Joint. Before anyone asks, there were no Miatas parked in front.

I didn't check the rear.

 

[Otis]

Mrs. O and I went to Home Depot today to find out about getting carpeting in our den. We were approached by one of the sales girls in the flooring department. I suppose she was new. Here's the conversation I overheard:

SalesGirl: "Hi can I help you with something?"

Mrs. O: "Yes, we're looking to get wall-to-wall carpeting for a room in our house."

SalesGirl: "Oh, we only do carpeting on floors."

Mrs. O: "Uh. Wait."

SalesGirl: "Yeah we won't install carpet on the walls."

Mrs O: "Uhm."

It was pretty painful so I quickly ejected and walked off with my daughter to leave my wife to mop that up. People are dumb.

Just got back from Goettafest. Glier's should ship one of these up north. Sure to be a hit with the meat raffle crowd.

Received a care package today consisting of a blow up diving helmet and a Greg Luganis DVD.

Thanks!

Kittenball Tournament today. Went 3-1. Should have put on some sunscreen though, my head and face look like what GM would look like after 5 minutes in a state where the sun shines.

Was trying not to be too obvious. ETA: The deviled crab in shell was delicious

I'm going broke waiting on old people, I'm going to redo the place and change concept to hip, shortterm rental property.

DVD was pure comedic genius on Tanner's part. Did you see who stars as Louganis??

yeah the city voted to not really slow it down at all, except by limiting the number allowed per census area (??I dont know exactly either, but smaller than a zip code).with sxsw, acl and formula 1, the city has to have short term rentals as there are not nearly enough hotels to handle the capacity. So they were kind of handcuffed. Give in to the neighborhood associations and crack down/sabotage the signature city events, o rlet it go and have adequate lodging

How can I get some more moderation options? Can these be bought?

Census areas are related to actual geography. ZIP codes are related to how the post office can most efficiently deliver the mail and aren't necessarily set on geographic boundaries. That's how I went from Manor, TX 78653 to Austin, TX 78754 without me or the city limits moving.You need to be out selling rooms for Formula One weekend. I might have a bus to contribute to the transportation effort, but it doesn't seat very many people since all the benches have been ripped out.

Prices for F1 weekend are insane. I can transport six in my Flex. how many would your bus hold? Bus transport with a keg would be awesome.

anyone else watch the replay of Olympic soccer matches?

just tuned in a replay of So Korea vs GB... the comments are very similar to the live broadcast from this morning. as if the replay announcers are modifying a script of the original american broadcast.

am i high or is this happening?

Why would they have replay announcers? If it's a replay it's probably a replay of the WHOLE match including commentary.

they actually weren't deleted. they were hidden, but mods can still see them.

What purpose does this serve?

it's a moderating option on the boards.if someone is causing problems or posting spam or whatever, you can immediately hide all their posts/threads with a quick click.

Why not just delete them?
