If my in laws ever stay over for four-five days again, I promise you they will not leave here alive. Or in one piece.

Murder, chop them to pieces, grind 'em up, dissolve the body in lye, whatever it takes.

I DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE ####### STORM OF THE CENTURY - the rule is three days. Always. No exceptions.

LEWISTON, Idaho — A 50-year-old Florida man has been arrested after an Idaho girl reported the man exposed himself during a flight from Salt Lake City to Lewiston. The 17-year-old girl says she switched seats when the man sitting next to her began masturbating aboard the Skywest flight. The Lewiston Tribune reports the girl told her father what happened and he reported it to the Transportation Security Administration. TSA officials notified Lewiston police, who arrested the Gulf Breeze, Fla., man while they investigate him on suspicion of misdemeanor indecent exposure. Police say the man told them he spilled Tabasco sauce on himself, which caused his crotch to burn and itch. -- The Associated Press

My mind is gone.Couldn't send half of them home because the LIRR was out of service for two days, and the other half were flying (third trip to the airport was the charm).Off to happy hour.

And TigerFan, one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen came over to my sister's house the past two days. I prefer southern women in general, but some of these Nordic chicks are just stunning.

Did you Stu her?

I vote for this becoming a thing.

I agree.On Christmas Eve, I totally thought I was going Stu my GB's younger sister but I was shuked by her rejection. It's ok though, when sober she's not very attractive, she's very plain looking and has Forrest-white skin.

Southern Christians can be set in their ways. Probably not all that uncommon in the Bible Belt. I can remember my parents having similar orders when I was in college and my GF would come over to visit. Their house, their rules. Course I was 21....

I read the next post and thought YSR posted this. It's alright to love a woman but not in my house!

 
I've been Forrest white.

Unlike our Christmas. Still green here in Newfoundland. This is the first Christmas with no snow that I can ever remember.

 
For Christmas my wife gave me clothes. Clothes that I would expect a 25 year old kid to wear.

My SIL gave me a scale.

:blackdot:

About 20 times since reading this post, I've thought, "our pets heads are falling off" and most of those times, it hasn't even made sense.Sorry for your loss. What were you doing?

Just got done driving my aunt from raliegh back to NYC. Only took 12 hours and I'm pretty sure I damaged something going over a dividing medium I couldn't see in the snow. Now time to have a beer or six and be thankful that as bad as today was, at least I wasn't going south and trapped in a 30 mile traffic jam on NJ turnpike. Bottoms up

Good one.Can someone explain this jumpy and quo thing to me?

Apparently if you have a long thread title with quotation marks it adds &quo to the endWoz started a thread about a chick that gave him a "jumpy feeling" or some crap. The tread title ended with "jumpy&quo. Everyone laughed like a *******
Click to expand...
There's a post in there from the rover that just says "one more day" based on a prediction that Woz would come out of the closet by Halloween, 2007. I still think it was a good call.
 
So, in the brief time I wasn't wifed the eff up, I dated a girl for a few months who's actually a really cool chick, and she and her now fiancee are friends of ours. Wife knows I used to date her. Her fiancee doesn't.

She wants me to be a part of walking her down the aisle, along with her long time best guy friend. I know this is weird, but how weird is this?

Wife is totally laid back/cool with it, she's actually playing the violin in the wedding.

Is this as weird as I think it is? Should I feel like Woz?

yes
 
The board software stores stuff in a database. It might store something in a comma separated format, like

Bryant, Joe, Joe Bryant, 2, 4/1/2003, ...etc.

That works great in most cases. The board software just chops that up into last name, first name, display name, member number, start date, and so on. But if you wanted to say that he works at sportsguys.com, LLC, then you'd have a problem, because the software might not understand that the comma was part of the value, and not a way of distinguishing one field, sportsguys.com, from another, LLC. So it stores it in quotes as "sportsguys.com, llc". It doesn't matter if there's one comma or a hundred, anything between the quotes is one value.

But what if you want to put quotes in a value? Like woz's thread, where he wanted to say something gave him that "jumpy" feeling? If the thread title were "Something gave me that "jumpy" feeling", then the board software would interpret it as two different things - "Something gave me that" and "feeling" - with the word jumpy in between for no apparent reason. To fix this, the software designers put a symbol - something like &quote or maybe &quotation - to replace the actual " mark. Problem solved - we just store

"someone gave me that &quote jumpy &quote feeling"

But there's a little glitch - the maximum text length for the field is 30 characters. So even though woz diligently fixed his thread title to be 30 characters, that was with one character quotation marks, not the six character string &quote. So when they stored it in the database, they get an error - and it only stores the first 30 characters. So instead of "someone gave me that &quote jumpy &quote feeling", you only get "someone gave me that &quote jumpy &quo". The first &quote is read correctly later by the software as a quotation mark. But the second one got cut off, and the board software didn't know that &quo was cut off, so the board took all this into consideration, plus the fact that woz is kind of a dink, and that his thread was going to get mocked no matter what it did, and determined that the best answer was to make up a new term for our entertainment.

It's ok. Sometimes when I'm really drunk I punch myself in the face in my sleep. Or I bang my head into the pillow repeatedly.

Or maybe you're a deep sleeper with a lying, abusive wife. You should get a nannycam.

I got a room at the casino for tomorrow night since that is where Man Day will conclude. She better be abusive.

Prima Nocta in play?
 
pron -> Tell your wife that you're uncomfortable doing it, but you want her permission to tell the bride no because you don't want it to reflect on her. Put the ball in her court and she won't be as quick to blame you for it during some argument two years from now about something totally unrelated when she decides to break out the nuclear option and mention how you were never over your ex and you walked in her wedding.
