  1. Walnut Ridge? I bet most people would be surprised by this.

    Nah. They'll find something else minor to knock it down for ;)
  3. If the streetcar was around that day the people involved in the crash may have been on the streetcar or walking.

    Too new for cheap parts.

    Go to a junkyard that is on "The Network". If they don't have the part there, they can get it shipped there from another junkyard.

    I had a dream one time that in a post-apocalyptic time not so far in the future, my gang took over Fort Hayes and Rickenbacker and lived in these buildings, dormitory style. We also used motocross bikes and race cars as transportation.
  7. I can bunnyhop a 12-pack of beer on my BMX and I'm not even in good cycling shape.
  8. Turn up the boost!
  9. Gotta have that pharmacy drive-through! Jesus, this is the city.

    Steamer's should open a location in Cleveland.
  11. It is true that a lot of gamblers smoke and that they like to smoke while they gamble. Casinos in other states do have an advantage in luring smokers away from Ohio. If they have to take smoke breaks, they provide the gambler with time to contemplate packing it in for the evening and the relaxing effects of nicotine away from gambling reduces their excitement level.
  12. Vegas will always be Vegas because of its lack of restriction on other vices. Vegas knows that people can gamble almost anywhere these days, but they can't gamble AND smoke AND get free drinks AND have no open container law AND have no alcohol-restricted hours AND be able to buy a few hours with a lady after a big win. Plus, lots of people go to Vegas for the eye candy. There's hot chicks everywhere there in contrast to the buses of seniors that fill Midwestern casinos.

    I hate it when somebody demands that I drop what I'm doing to watch some viral video. Or when somebody sees a computer and wants to take it over. Back when I worked at the hobby store, there were a few people who would see the computer sitting behind the counter and be visibly uncomfortable that they had to describe a product rather than coming behind the counter to look it up on the internet. Did they really think we could allow them onto our distubutors' wholesale sites?

    Isn't Mayor's Court unconstitutional because it combines the Judicial and Executive branches? Since a mayor an be a high school or even elementary school dropout, their law background may not be very strong.
  15. You still have to look like a gang member otherwise.
  16. ^Sounds like people who deserved to be fired.
  17. The average age of a home phone user is higher than the general population.
  18. ^No, kids don't say that, but eventually they find out that the world revolves around sales.
  19. And they didn't even list marketing as one of Cincinnati's job categories, even though Cincinnati is one of the top marketing cities in the country.
  20. If Ohio is dense enough to disallow hunting with high-powered rifles, it's certainly dense enough for rail service.

    ^ You probably bought all the clothes at that Barney's place.
  22. What I mean was simpler than Photoshop.

    Most people make decisions based not on logic, but emotion or what everyone else is doing. The best salesmen and marketers in the world work in the auto and real estate industries. They know how to get people to do what they want.
  24. ^I'd like something simpler. I make simple pages that have generally simple image creation/manipulation needs. Photoshop has a lot of features I don't use. Been using Paint Shop for a long time.
  25. I'd say the immigrants that come to Columbus as opposed to say New York, or a perhaps a better example being Portland, are seeking the suburban American Dream. It can be done very inexpensively here.
