That led me to actually see what time my Kindle thinks is current. Says 2:44 am. I think I didn't ever set it. The cable box is right in front of my reading chair (doubles as a TV chair and computer-running chair).

When I lived in an apartment someone did that. Once.
They were less than pleased to find the tire valves loosened on all 4 tires when they left the next morning.
The cops later came and questioned me, and of course I knew absolutely nothing about it. Nope. Not me. It certainly wasn't me who used my tire valve tool to let the air out of all his tires, necessitating a tow truck come out. Must've been someone else.
I don't know if they bought it, and didn't care since they couldn't prove it one way or another.

The pic also left out 3 more rules
Rule No. 12: Smoking does not make you look cool. It makes you look moronic. Next time you're out cruising, watch an 11-year-old with a butt in his mouth. That's what you look like to anyone over 20. Ditto for "expressing yourself" with purple hair and/or pierced body parts.
Rule No. 13: You are not immortal. (See Rule No. 12.) If you are under the impression that living fast, dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse is romantic, you obviously haven't seen one of your peers at room temperature lately.
Rule No. 14: Enjoy this while you can. Sure parents are a pain, school's a bother, and life is depressing. But someday you'll
realize how wonderful it was to be a kid. Maybe you should start now. You're welcome.

I'm guessing you got lucky in the cops blaming the asshole parking there being the reason they had to investigate rather than you, the one with the motive. "If you hadn't have parked in a spot you weren't supposed to you wouldn't have needed a tow truck" and all that junk.
They've probably dealt with similar people and wished they could have let the air out of their tires.

Two friends go hunting. One has to relieve himself, and oops, gets his pecker bit by a poisonous snake. His buddy runs off to find a doctor, and gets the info on how to save his friend:
Cut a small X-shaped incision over the wound and suck the venom out. No big deal, right?
Friend returns from the doctor and gives the final verdict:
Doctor says you're gonna die.

Drop them off at a local hospital, thrift store, or any other charity. Make sure to remove the porn. You might also want to unload them on Freecycle. When we left Houston a few years ago I had to unload about 3000 books and I just boxed them up by category and Freecycled them. I cannot stand to see books thrown away. Still left me with 10 cases of hardbacks that I recently gave to a pro football player whose mother is a friend of mine and he needed to fill up bookcases in his newly renovated kitchen.

If said woman in a bikini is stung by a jellyfish as per your example, the proper thing to do would be to offer to soothe the stung area by rubbing saltwater on the affected area for 15 minutes.

Yeah; they didn't exactly conduct a thorough investigation. They asked me a couple questions in the hallway, and sensing that I wasn't dumb enough to confess dropped it with a "If it was you, don't do it again" and left. Also, his tires weren't damaged so it wasn't exactly the crime of the century, if one at all.
Besides, it wasn't my spot they parked in, but the person who's spot they did park in took mine, thinking I was away for the weekend (I worked very late hours at the time). The hipster douche stoner who's tires were deflated by some unnamed party who greatly resembles me in every possible way confronted me about it; I just dismissively smirked and denied it knowing he wouldn't do shit about it.

anything that touches the sting will get stingers in it that spread the sting. Hand touches sting... hand stings too. you learn not to touch sting. Lips... OMG. do not suck sting. Grab handful of sand and rub sting, will scrub the stingers out. Then you can pee on it and it will be much more effective.
maximum efficiency is to keep meat tenderizer in car. that works best. pee is not so great.
am i being pedantic?
anyway i got a jelly down my suit once, a little portuguese man o war. I ripped off my suit and ran down beach hell bent for perdition in search of car with meat tenderizer. I had stingers all over boobs belly and yes.. there. It was horrible. i was 15. ugh. very unpleasant

Katrina was called the "MSM's Comeback" in 2005. I guess the whole point was to get Bush, not help anyone in N'awlins
Had Katrina happened on the SCOAMF's watch, the narrative would have been "oh well, sucks to be them"

Don't be a wimp, Clubber Lang. Your siblings will turn your familial loyalty into masochism if you let them.
The ability to set aside politics, and distaste for cheap shots and ganging up on someone, sets you apart on a fundamental level.
The whys and the hows of the situation ... it's not like you can turn off a switch in your brain, but it won't be helpful. But since your brain will run and run, go read neo-neocon's "Leaving the fold".

So I'm visiting my mother for Christmas, and decided to swing by my old hometown and grab a beer tonight. I ended up talking to a girl who I went to high school with, however I didn't recognize her until she told me her name. I got home and dug out my old yearbook, and it's no wonder I didn't recognize her. She went from blond to redhead, and has gained about 30 pounds. Dang...

I really do not understand the angst over family gatherings and getting angry at libtard family members who gang up and denigrate one person. As far as I'm concerned, family are assholes one is stuck with, like herpes. I say, give it back to such assholes with both barrels, damn the repercussions. From the story above, it doesn't sound like the family gives a shit about you. So why be polite to them? (We see this reaction in Republican congresscritters all the time: They take a verbal lashing from Dems then try to find some 'common ground' with them, as if that is even possible, like some battered wife going back to her husband because 'he loves me, he really does'.)
Life's too short to be polite to such assholes, family or otherwise.

******************
The American press trumpets “Hope and Change” in 2008, and we get an Alinskyite Chicago machine politician. They trumpet “Hope and Change” in Egypt, and we get the Muslim Brotherhood. They say “Hope and Change” in Libya, and a totalitarian nation reverts to tribalism. They say “Hope and Change” for the Occupy crowd, and get disease, filth, and violence. Now they’re saying “Hope and Change” in Russia.
“Hope and Change” had better start to mean something a little more Hopeful and a bit more “improvement”-based than just random oscillation.

Don't look for reasons to roll over next time, sharpen your arguments before the next time and aim them like daggers at their pinko hearts!

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear. Welcome to the party!

Hope and change? Hope is stupid compared to thinking things through and making realistic plans. Change for change's sake will often end up worse than where you started. Why not "Prudence and prosperity" as a slogan -- don't fall for the stupid "hope" when you can evaluate the situation using good judgement; don't change when people don't end up better-off.

No, but we ran in different circles in high school. And I'll admit that I look a lot different than I did then.

It's awesome and warm.
Apparently, everyone in my family went shopping at Bass Pro Shops.
Thanks, Bass Pro!

Excuse the bragging, I'm in my early thirties and I've only improved. Same waistline but more muscle, and of course more sophisticated. I dress better. I don't even bring chloroform to my dates anymore. She wouldn't be able to ask me out on a date (aside from being happily married). The reversal is very strange.

But how do you expect to land them in bed? You're not really trying to use charm and wit, are you?
Or do you mean you just found something even more potent?

I bought myself a copy of the Deluxe issue of Live at the Aragon on LP...haven't opened it yet, though.

The power industry, aided and abetted by the conservative press, has spent years retailing horror stories about blackouts all along the Eastern seaboard as the new rules take effect, but this is, unsurprisingly, little more than the usual doom-mongering.
This is the first time ever that I have heard this term.

It's Kevin Drum, so you can rest assured there will be some massively disputable claims in there. I've little doubt that the costs will be much higher and the benefits much lower.
To hear some lefties tell it, you'd think there were no birth defect or numerous other ailments before the industrial revolution.

I don't want to break the theme and talk about actual politics on an Ace thread but, here goes.
"Hope and change" is from the playbook of Revolutionaries. It is aimed at a specific audience, the disaffected. The Great Revolution has not got off the ground in three years. Its death throes are called OWS. Now we just continue the slow, inexorable slide into fascism. Vic will be along here soon and graphically point that out. He gets it.
Maybe we need a slogan but it better be on point.
