Perhaps not thier entire operations, but I would expect that companies who generate a good deal of business through the MM will have manufacturing or assembly facilities nearby

 

That is why I was so frantic when the PD was trying to kill the project

 

I work in the medical devices industry, and I agree with punch on this one

 

Well alright then.  I'll shut the f8ck up! :o

 

A first...

 

Mine:

 

*People who pull into a driveway or in front of a house and lay on the horn (especially at night). Get out of your damn car and go ring the f***ng doorbell!!

 

 

Im sorry, if im going to pick up a friend or a cousin, ill call them when i leave my house to let them know im on the way. Once i get in the driveway im giving a quick 2 beeper and they should be outside. Im coming to you up to go somewhere else, not to come inside for tea and biscuits.

 

And for this I hate you.  If you need to let someone know that you've arrived to pick them up, you can use the device God invented for it: a cell phone.

 

Horn came long before the cell phone. Think ill stick with the horn.

 

Yeah, you're free to do what want, as is your right.  But everyone else around is free to despise your very being.

 

Also, the horse came before the automobile, so I'm not ever sure what you're doing behind the wheel anyway.

 

What a great exchange, with MoonlightOhio landing the final, devastating blow.

Atlanta seems like one big Ponzi scheme. Needing to bring in companies to keep the scheme going.

 

This beauty happened in the NCR moving to Atlanta discussion thread.  Hilarious and true all in the one.

Surburban sprawl is a giant ponzi scheme. It promises low traffic, low taxes, low pollution and low crime. But once the suburbs are fully built out (reached peak success), none of those promises can be kept anymore. So the promise spreads to the ring farther out and leaves the older rings less healthy....

 

See the cycle of automobile dependency at:

But hey: the first ones into the Ponzi scheme always get paid.

Isn't the whole stock market a Ponzi scheme?

Wow.

Too far.

I don't think I've ever laughed at such a stupid collection of mugshots in my life. Thanks.

^Actually, we're going to be the least spoiled generation since the Great Depression. Things are heading to an even worse reduction in standard of living.

 

We still have yet to feel the brunt of the commercial real estate collapse and the half a trillion dollars in unpaid student loans!!!! This is going to be one hell of a collapse for America. Our dollar will be worth less than toilet paper in a year. BTW, speaking of good investments...

Boehner cannibalism.

 

This fish weighs the same as my wife.

 

And you wouldn't eat your wife, so nuff said. The fish should be elected mayor or something, and eat John Boehner.

I don't know how this nugget was left out of here for so long. I just came across the riveting discussion of handicap tag abuse in the Ohio Politics thread, and found this. Thanks to X..

 

That was Death Wish VII, right?  Really good installment in the series.  Not only does he confront handicap parking space abusers, but he also keeps a kid's baseball that was homered into his yard.  In one gripping scene, he writes a really cranky letter to his City Councilman about high grass and weeds at the neighbor's house.  He also stiffs the pizza guy for his "sass mouth".

I don't think advocating violence helps your cause any.

 

I wasn't advocating violence, I was paraphrasing a famous line from a movie. You must have been out sick the day they talked about metaphorical language in grade school English class.

 

Besides, there's no need for violence when mockery and ridicule work just fine.

 

LIG is mess.  LOL

 

People talk a tough game when they think they have internet anonymity.  Seems like a non-story, except to the boreal types.

Not related to this thread per say, just a pet peeve from the prior post and other posts.... could people please learn the different between lose, loss and loose.

 

Lose - verb,  to not win, plural: loses

Loss - noun, not a win, plural: losses

Loose - adjective, opposite of tight

Glass houses, my friend. Glass houses...

I don't consider the best President of this century to be a loser. :)  (nor a losser, nor loose(like his predecessor).)

But would you consider him a losser?

Yes, ma'am.

Yes, ma'am.

Ma'am??  :wtf:    I just checked...no vagina.  All boy parts down there.

I'll have to take your eword for that.

To be honest, these white chicks are pretty weak. I don't think they're anything special other than the fact they're still young, have good skin, and haven't yet been aged by cigarettes, alcohol, tanning, and emotionless flings.

While cleaning topics, I came across this gem from grasscat --

Huge loss brings name change, new QB

By "Gary"

 

Following a 106-62 thumping from The Drunken Yeti, Kennedy Heights Hurt owner grasscat has made a few changes.

 

The most noticeable is the renaming of the club to "Operation Macho Kick-Ass".

 

Grasscat hopes that the new name will inspire his team.

 

"Meh...," grasscat said.  He then turned over in his bed and requested that I turn the lights out as I leave.

 

Operation Macho Kick-Ass also signed QB Trent Green after former QB Marc Bulger's pathetic display of inertia in last week's opener.

 

Green was unable to give an opinion of his new team, citing a ringing in his ears that he's had since last year's Chiefs-Bengals game.

 

"Gary" is a freelance writer who lives under the Western Hills Viaduct.

In response to Mayor Mallory's "hot date":

 

Touching the buttons on that belt buckle activates her super powers. 

you cant just say something off topic and fix it by saying 'back on topic'.  It like sayin 'no offense, but your wife is a whore'

 

But lets get back to topic

 

Whipjacka might just make on to my good whippersnappers list!

I would think somewhere over by Union Terminal would be a good location, tie in with Amtrak and future rail service.

 

Right.  But so long as the 3C rail will be at Lunken, they should see if they can use the Transit Center, because it would connect directly to the streetcar, and undoggle COAST's arguments by showing what a boon good planning is to the City.

On Joe Boehner:

 

Dude has a better tan than George Hamilton.

 

Ahahaha. I spent most of the summer outside with my shirt off and he's still darker than me.

 

You have no chance... he spent the whole summer inside a can of bronzing cream.
