April 13, 200916 yr Uh oh, looks like security on our Canadian US borders is weak..... LOLOL http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/19137118/detail.html#-
April 13, 200916 yr If he wasn't arrested for his driving, they would have gotten him for that hairdo!
April 13, 200916 yr Uh oh, looks like security on our Canadian US borders is weak..... LOLOL http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/19137118/detail.html#- Yeah, they let people ram right into your car.
April 13, 200916 yr Coolio, meet blind old drunk. Blind old drunk, meet Coolio. Customs Agent: "Hi how are you all this evening?" ColDayMan: "Absolutely terrible!!!" Customs Agent: "...Uh.....wha..?" ColDayMan: "This old ass man hit my car!" Customs Agent: "-speechless-" A shame we didn't request the security video from the Bridge Company. The old man behind us just kept inching and inching behind us.
April 13, 200916 yr I honestly think his brakes just sucked lol Maybe his brake line busted. But really, if he was middle eastern I think we could all agree it would have been a done deal lol. Can't take chances!
April 13, 200916 yr LOL I can only imagine Chris' reaction to this. Was this tonight? I've had not a good year with my cars this year. I had a lot of tire issues because they were aging so I was picking up nails and debris left-and-right. One slow leak in my right-rear took a week to get to 20 PSI from 35 PSI, so I decided to have it swapped with my full-spare. After they put the tire on, they found a large chunk of my front-left completely gone to the steel belt. For the interm, since the shop was closing, I told them to put my now-spare tire with a slow leak on the front-left. The next day, I had to be in Indiana for a photo-shoot. I hear this hissing sound while in a parking lot, so I barely made it to a Firestone where I had four new tires put on. Then, one week later, I was involved in a high-speed automobile collision. A car had disregarded their traffic sign as I was traveling approximately 60 MPH on a four-lane highway where I had the right-of-way. I instinctively slammed on my brakes when I saw that they were starting across, and they t-boned my left rear. The impact knocked me into the left lane, but I quickly threw the vehicle into reverse because there was a tractor-trailer barreling down my path. Into the shoulder the vehicle went! Mostly cosmetic damage, although the rear axle needed replacement. The tires, surprisingly, are all in perfect condition. $3,884.75 worth of damage, but I came away uninjured! Had I sped up, I probably could have avoided collision but the chances of possible injury or increased damage would have gone up. So I'm in a Chevrolet Aveo rental (which SUCKS). Friday, while stopped at a traffic signal, I hear this CRUNCH. "FUCK!" I point my finger to the shoulder and I get out to inspect the damage. She had dropped a drink and was trying to clean it up, and accidentally hit the accelerator. Thankfully, there is a very minor impression of her license plate bracket in the back of the car and is barely noticeable under certain lighting conditions. I did get her name, phone, address and plate, so I can report this to the rental agency if they do spot it. What a bad year for my vehicles!!!
April 13, 200916 yr Uh oh, looks like security on our Canadian US borders is weak..... LOLOL http://www.clickondetroit.com/news/19137118/detail.html#- dont we have a dumbest criminals thread? this should most def be posted there!
April 13, 200916 yr No, it was back in November. I don't like the bridge and tunnel crossing in Detroit.....they take too long, but Chris felt that we must. Unfortunately we then had to deal with all the crappy drunk driving loudmouths in traffic coming back which slows down customs to a crawl.
April 13, 200916 yr Hey, you want to know something about stupid people? Stupid people are the ones that talk on cell phones loud at a public computing center within the library. I'm fine with mild conversation, but when someone yacks on the phone loudly while everyone is silent, that's really annoying, especially when we are essentially within a glassed in box and there's a public hallway outside to have the conversation. What makes this person stupid? Even while I type my paper, I now know more about this person from what I simply can't ignore. He has a dispute with the power and gas company. Apparently his housemates are upset because the bill didn't get paid and they all gave him their share, yet the statement shows it as unpaid. He loudly shared his: Full Name and Home Address Social Security Number Credit Card Number REPEATED TWICE! Expiration Date, and Security Code. What an idiot. All it takes is one nasty person to do a little online shopping, but maybe this dude deserves it.

I must say one thing for the New York Public Library: whenever a cellphone goes off, the staff immediately puts a stop to it. It's absolutely forbidden under any circumstances. Re the other part of your post, I once sat on the bus behind a woman who was chatting with her friend while simultaneously reconciling her checkbook, holding up her bank statement and checks--with all pertinent, confidential information clearly visible--only two feet away from me. People are complete nitwits. http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
April 13, 200916 yr Yes, and a woman in the waiting room of my doctor's office is way behind on her and her husband's cell phone bills and has to get some money orders for those today, because she made sure to talk about it loudly enough such that we can all hear it. She also noted the wrong date for her daughter's doctor appointment and came in a week early, and is demanding to wait to see the doctor because she is SURE he said "2 weeks" and the appointment date that the front desk told her when she showed up, which is next week, would be 3 weeks later and she is NOT leaving and coming back next week because it takes her an hour to get there. As if that's the doctor's fault. This is why your doctor takes forever to see you even when you have a scheduled appointment, because of nitwits like this lady.

People are complete nitwits. its not as bad as being on a plane with someone who can't turn off their phone after the announcements. Last week coming from Boston this idiot would not stop talking and the FA (with a lot of 'tude - he was fierce :clap:) said, "I've made three announcemnets asking passengers to power down their electronic devices. If you cannot comply I'll have the captain return the plane to the gate, have you removed from the plain and let you explain to the other passengers why your conversation was so important". He whispered it to the guy but said it loud enough for me to hear. I was like, "bitch, you betta work!" I just looked at the guy. The guy was about to say something nasty about the FA and I responded, "if the call was that important you should have rebooked and closed the deal in the club room or flown on your private plane, since obviously you are that important". I said that loud enough for the FAs to hear. He looked out the window the entire flight. The FAs were so nice to me after that. There is nothing worse than being on a metal tube with jackass. Lesson to learn: Never f*ck with a Queen in a position of power. When I go to Philly or take the MetroNorth downtown, I often overhear people openly talking about things, which should only be discussed in privacy. And people wonder why they are victims.
April 13, 200916 yr [ ... ] He has a dispute with the power and gas company.

All it takes is one nasty person to do a little online shopping, but maybe this dude deserves it. Call the power & gas company in his name and request that the utilities be turned off. Then, call the credit card company and report the card stolen and request that they close the account. The next time he tries to use it, the clerk will take an extraordinarily long time processing the approval, and all of a sudden cops will show up and slap him in cuffs and let him explain himself at the precinct. :evil:

April 13, 200916 yr It's typed into my planning paper on light rail and traffic congestion. Nah just playin. I decided to be bad right back. I just hauled back a steaming carton of Panda Express into the lab. I'll have this place smelling like sweet and sour in no time....that is my food...I'll try to control my digestive system.

April 13, 200916 yr When I was living in Calhoun Hall at UC (1973), I recognized a friend standing out front talking to 3-4 other guys. All of a sudden, they "gently" placed one of the guys in the trunk of a car, then stood there talking. We knew it was some sort of initiation, but we thought we'd help the guy out. We called the police. Within minutes, police came from all directions, including the wrong way down Calhoun! No one got arrested, they talked their way out of it. We were the most likely suspects, but he couldn't prove we did it. Could you imagine that happening today? Arrests for sure, jail maybe.

The brothers were masked but we could still easily identify them when we were "kidnapped" They drove dorm to dorm picking us up in a van. They then tried to confuse us by driving up and down on all different levels of a parking structure. We were then taken to a "secret" location which was clearly the game room in the basement of the fraternity house. The plan further fell apart with the introduction of "scary sounds" like....someboday vacuuming the floor above and jumping up and down. How quaint, although I'll take that ritual compared to the hazing activities you hear about the news every once and awhile.
April 13, 200916 yr You can only imagine the kind of hazing we experienced in the early 70's! It was all in good fun of course! 18yo could drink back then, so it was easier to be drunk all the time. That made the hazing that much more fun! During my initiation, I was blindfolded and put in the back of a volkswagen beetle. I was being driven around for what seemed like hours, when all of a sudden, the driver slammed on the brakes, and they both guys jumped out. Next thing I heard was to VERY BIG slams up against the back of the bug. Finally the door opened, and a Cincinnati policeman pulled down my blindfold and asked if I was being initiated in a fraternity. He had pulled up next to us, and saw the blindfold. When they jumped out of the car, he pulled his gun. The rest of the night was anticlimatic. Being a stupid freshman, I stammered yes, and he let us go on. Had I been a bit smarter, I would have said no, that these guys were kidnapping me!

April 14, 200916 yr Can the stretch of Lakeside around E.25 or so, legitimately be called Cleveland's Skid-Row? I was exploring yesterday and never knew that area was like that. I saw a sign for some Ministry, so I assume that is the reason. A fine example of our meticulously crafted lakefront.

There's a guy that gets on the bus every afternoon at the stop after mine and then argues with his wife about what to make for dinner. Last week I yelled at him from 3 rows back "Dude, just have the fish. You've had hamburger helper 3 days in a row!".

There are also several church missions in that general area. Also the main county welfare building is nearby at 18th and Superior. It's definitely our skid row, and something to consider as they expand the Avenue District and CSU.

Last week I yelled at him from 3 rows back "Dude, just have the fish. You've had hamburger helper 3 days in a row!". On my rides between Indiana and Chicago on the South Shore trains, the inbound trip isn't so bad except that too often, about Dune Park or Gary, I end up squeezed against the window by some very large person who thumps down into the aisle seat and spills over halfway into mine. Other than that, people are on their way to work and just want to be left alone. They read newspapers or work on their laptops or nurse coffee or put on makeup or snooze. It's on the return trips that I use my industrial ear-protection earmuffs. It's a cacophony. Trios and quartets of homeward-bound shoppers chatter about their shopping experiences and whole brigades of kids chaperoned by four or five moms, probably home-schoolers on a field trip, jabber excitedly in their high-pitched voices. Some commuters talk on cell phones the whole way, either making supper plans or just passing time to ward off boredom. One time the numbskull sitting beside me yakked for more than an hour with someone on her phone, describing in infinitesimal detail every item in her beanie baby collection. The worst, though, is Ms. Motormouth. About three trips out of five, she ends up in the same car with me. She has a penetrating, irritating voice that carries over all the other commotion, and she spews an endless stream of trivial, inconsequential blather without a detectable pause for breath. She starts as soon as she lands in a seat beside a victim, and when I detrain at Michigan City her mouth is still flapping non-stop. Even the earmuffs don't block her out, although I've found that if I put in a pair of those compressible foam ear plugs before putting on the earmuffs, that knocks it down to a level where I can tune it out.
April 14, 200916 yr Cincy people, I was driving through your city yesterday and had to make a stop. I stopped in a neighborhood, but I don't know its name. I believe that I passed a high school with the name of Withrow. What is this neighborhood called?

It's in Hyde Park but you probably went through three or four different neighborhoods without realizing it. You probably got off the Dana Ave. or Smith/Edwards Exit. When you got off did you come into a residential area or commercial? (Don't lie, you saw the PF Chang from i-71 and couldn't resist).
April 14, 200916 yr Old people usually do. Badump-pah! Old people should tell all their stories. I wish my grandparents talked more about what life was like way back in the 30s-60s. My grandparents on my moms side are mindless drones and I don't think they ever paid attention to what was even going on in the world most of their life. On my dads side, my grandma is ultra conservative so I figured her life story would probably be boring; then I talked to my aunt recently and found out she was one of the bra burners; a radical, second-wave feminist when she was in her 20s. She never told me anything like that. I can't wait until I'm 70. I'm going to lecture the hell out of my grandkids.

April 14, 200916 yr 1978: Went to visit future wife #1 family in Long Island. Long busy day in the city, went to bed early. The room they put me in had a TV so I watched SNL. Albert Brooks had a semi-regular movie skit, and this one was about him paying for the priveledge to do open heart surgery. It was pretty funny even though I can't remember the specifics. What is it they say about looking at your mother in law and seeing your wife years later? I should have picked up on that because the next morning at breakfast, the future MIL was ranting about how this hospital let this guy perform surgery because he wanted to, and what was this world coming too?
