[Officer Pete Malloy]

Have you guys seen this #richkids of Beverly Hills show on E! Ho-lee ####.

Also, the large gay black fellow is Magic Johnson's kid. Actually actually true.

Pretty sure I'll never see this.

Honestly worth it for the shtick.

Spoiler alert: these "kids" are all mid-20's spongers.

I have a hard enough time trying not to hate most of the characters on "Girls".

I'm sure there's an episode of The Shields and Yarnell Show for you somewhere.

I don't watch any of these shows but just wanted to mention Shields and Yarnell.

I would have gone with Holmes and Yo-Yo.

Don't get me wrong. "Girls" is pretty great TV. But at least 3 times and episode I want to reach through the screen an slap somebody.

The two best characters on Girls (by far) are dudes.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Thanks for the Girls posts. Now I have Beastie Boys stuck in my head.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

The two best characters on Girls (by far) are dudes.

Which two? Adam is just the male version of the girls IMO. Ray is tolerable because he seems to be the only self-aware character on the show. Charlie is OK I guess.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

I just finished a 4 mile walk. It's 8 degrees out, -8 with the wind chill and there's a lot of wind. I've officially lost my mind.

Pfft.

Yes?

Also, putting your Christmas tree under your deck until the summer is beyond a bad idea. A small spark can ignite them a flame thrower. Trust me here.

Report back when you have -35 to -50 windchills, Hasselhoff.

I'm aware on the tree...I've taken a few of them up north to start bonfires. Super fun. Edit: It would be a blessing if the current place went up.

It was -25 a couple of weeks ago. The trick is being stupid enough to purposely hang out in said weather.

Just sayin, I'd suck ##### for 8.

I don't doubt this for a second.

The real kick in the nads is that it was in the low 60's yesterday. Not to mention I don't live in the Great White North, eh.

Adam and Ray. The weirdo artsy guy was awesome too.

Charlie's gone for good, I think.

Yeah, Booth or whatever. "But I want you to know the first time I #### you, I might scare you a little, because I'm a man, and I know how to do things. See you later."

So.....I took the wife and kids downtown yesterday. Parked on the street which requires feeding the meter. No problem, we unload the car, get out the stroller, I go to the box on the street where you pay for parking. I max out the time allowed (2 hours), get the printed receipt showing proof of payment and display the proof of payment on the driver's side window which was facing the street.

Gorgeous day outside with scores of people biking, running, walking up and down the banks of the Willamette River with crystal clear views of the majestic Mountain Hood. A terrific family outing, all for the price of a little street parking.

We get to the car and I notice that the receipt for parking is good until 3pm. It's 2:15. In a happy and jovial mood, I see a car parking behind me, watch the guy get out and approach the pay box before I stop him and say "Hey buddy, I've got a parking receipt here that's good until 3pm. Want it?". He eagerly accepted it, said thank you very much and I did my best Jerry Seinfeld/Babu Bhatt impersonation, silently saying "I AM a great guy".

No sooner did I get done patting myself on the back and sitting down in the driver's seat did my wife blurt out from the backseat, "Uh, Milos, do you see that parking ticket on your windshield"?

WHAT??? I PAID FOR PARKING! WHAT THE HELL! I stormed out of my car, retrieved the ticket, opened it up out of its evil yellow envelope and read the offense: "Improper display of parking receipt - $39 fine".

So essentially, I got a $39 parking ticket for not putting the parking receipt/proof of payment on the passenger side window, facing the street. There are not words in the English dictionary (maybe Abe's?) that express how furious I am over this. And yeah, point at the shirt, it's my fault. But really? I paid for parking. Hell, I OVERPAID for parking. But because I didn't put the receipt in the right window, I now have a $39 fine due in 30 days. Hell the Nazi even wrote on there "parking receipt on wrong side of car" so he/she KNEW I paid for parking. Just wanted to cite me anyhow.

Well, I'll be appearing in a courtroom for this one. All shtick welcome.

so drivers and passenger windows face the street?:shuked:

And how to tell on which side of the windshield you should place your parking receipt. Probably.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

I think they tell you which window to put the parking receipt on. It's right on the ticket. How do you plan to contest this?

I'm sure I typod this up somewhere, but the driver's side was facing the street, the passenger side was facing the curb. I should have stuck the receipt curb side, passenger window.

[UniAlias]

When I visited last year I paid for parking once and just tossed the receipt on the dash viewable through the driverside windshield. My brother called me an idiot and said everyone knows to put it on the passenger window so meter maids don't have to walk in the middle of the street all day. Made sense.

We can't even support our Class A team.

If they ever got a team in Portland would they wear caps like this? From what I saw it was Official State Cap of Oregon.

Players would be required to have neck tattoos and or non-traditional facial piercings.

 

[Guster]

I hate to interrupt the non stop Geese talk in here, but did the numbers for the super bowl squares get pulled yet?

Nope, still have ~35 squares to sell and then I'll pull the numbers and post 'em.getcha squares, getcha squares here...

What happens if you don't sell them all? My boss wants 1 square. PPing now. Put this one in for Portland Bob.

I'm not terribly concerned - I'll reach out to brick & mortar friends if we don't get close to selling out in the next day or so.

Hope I didn't jump the gun by bringing real people into this.

Nope, it's all good. I'm just delaying putting any real effort into this unless absolutely necessary

How stupid are these "maids" that they can't just look at the time on the meter?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Did you know that not a single gay person lives in Sochi, Russia, the site of the upcoming Winter Olympics? It's true! The mayor says so.

Via NBC News:

"We do not have [homosexuals] in our city," Pakhomov flatly told the BBC.
Pressed further, the mayor backtracked a bit: "I am not sure, but I don't bloody know them."
This is good news! Since there are definitely no gay people in Sochi, none of its citizens have to worry about being victimized by Russia's highly oppressive anti-gay laws. The Olympics should go off without a hitch now! Oh, right.

Also:

The same BBC reporter had visited a gay tavern in the Black Sea resort town the night before he interviewed Mayor Anatoly Pakhomov, who said the whole city is straight.
Huh.

If I remember correctly there was just one payment box that printed the time on a receipt. They didn't have individual meters like I'm used to seeing.
