Yeah. I guess I feel like you could've said something.
Once I saw an old lady (like OOOOOOLLLD) shuffle into a gas station, stick her hand in the fruit bar and then she grabbed some pretzel M&Ms and was out like a bandet. I just gave the attendents a heads up. They said "oh that's Bertha, she's like 93. We just let her take whatever she wants." hahaha
One of my uncles used to say that he thought it would be great to be really old. You do whatever you wanted and people would just write it off because you were old. His plan was to go to a park and insult people or hit them with his cane. If they got mad, he would just act disoriented like he didn't know what was going on.

I hate it when people steal stuff and get away with it because the workers don't care or don't want to do anything about it. Like, I had a crazy person in front of me at a gas station steal a bag of chips. Not even run away....just pick up the bag and walk out. One worker was like "Sir?....umm sir? YOu have to pay..." then they walked out. That worker told another worker and the other person shrugged his shoulders and said "eh....I'll just pay for that".
I got annoyed and felt like saying "So....can I have a free bag of chips too? Or do I have to pay for my own since I follow societies rules?

A lot of places have pretty strict rules about how/if you can confront shoplifters. K-Mart had very strict rules on confrontation that basically amounted to you not being able to at all. One time, we had a couple that had been stealing from us on multiple occassions, but we never could catch them in the act. Finally, a co-worker saw them put a TV in a cart and followed them as they went out. When they crossed the threshold of the door (the point at which it becomes shoplifting here apparently), he yelled at them. They threw the tv in the truck and took off. He got the make, model, color and license plate on the vehicle, saw them from the time they touched the tv until they left and (like everyone else in the store) could identify them without question. When we went to call the police, the manager on duty told us no and threatened to write him up if he called them after she told him no. Needless to say, that lowered our drive to really stop anything. Basically, it comes down to a cost benefit thing where it costs them more in security and legal costs than it costs for the missing television.

This is 100% true with old men hitting on younger women. And old racists who don't realize they're racist. Makes me think of the Louie episode with his (great?) grandmother from last season.
and when I got done reading that, there was a link at the bottom for THIS: www.spin.com/blogs/how-i-met-your-mother-soundtrack-will-finally-release-best-robin-sparkles "We are going to do a fully produced version of the 'Bang-Bang-Bangity-Bang' song," Craig Thomas, one of the show's co-creators told the media at a recent press conference, according to HitFix. He added, "Perhaps with a slight New Orleans theme." YOU GUYS IM SO HAPPYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!! ;D

It just frustrates me so much. Like, why am I following the rules if breaking them results in no kind of punishment or justice? It's unfair.
I had something at Bonnaroo happen where I'm waiting to buy a water bottle for $3. I don't mind paying that for water at Roo. I like cold water and not waiting on lines. Someone else walks up next to me and asks the worker if they could please put some ice in a bottle of theirs or dip their bandanna in the tub of water. The worker said they aren't supposed to do that stuff, looked around and just grabbed a water bottle for the guy. Gave it to him for free. Then took my money for it.
Like....wtf. Why am I paying for this and you just gave it to that person for free for no reason. I got so annoyed by that.

I like how the worker says they can't do one thing and then does something that seems even more wrong than the original request.

Exactly. Like, I understand not being allowed to fill someone's thing up with ice. I've asked in the past and been denied. If they did thta all the time they'd run out of ice for the drinks.
But I felt insulted that she's giving out a free water right next to me and charging me because she didn't want to be the bad guy and tell him "No".
Not the end of the world. Just one of those "Why not me?" situations
I would just like to clarify that I only endorse stealing from faceless corporations who won't even feel a loss so small.
And my high school. I stole a ton of sh*t from my high school (like a track & field hurdle, for some reason).
But I never stole from a person, and actually turned in almost $8k when I was 12 when I found it in an envelope in a porta john. Looking back, that $ was almost definitely involved in something illegal.
Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Forbes made a list of the top 10 money-making DJs in the last year. The list stands to create unity between oontzy and non-oontzy people as there is reason for both camps to be sad.
For the non-oontzy people, Tiesto leads with $22 million. That's right. Twenty-two MILLION dollars was earned by that guy. Since he has so many fans here, I will add that Skrillex is #2 with $15 million.
For the oontzy people, from a money making standpoint, this guy is the 7th best DJ in the world.

Flanzo never ceases to amaze with the stories. Jesus.
Made a to-do list, tell me if I've missed anything.
To-Do You Idiot 1. Finish LCD Soundsystem review 2. Set up wordpress 3. Write Ariel Pink review 4. Label Spotlight? Captured Tracks piece? 5. Look at grad programs at UB 6. Dress better 7. Talk to girls you don’t know who would possibly be ok with you talking to them 8. Be nicer to people 9. Listen to more records 10. Make more to-do lists

11. Tell glennron something cool to do in Buffalo on a Thursday night when he has to go there for work in October (I assume UB is University at Buffalo?)

Maybe you'll luck out and get a cool show, but mostly it's just going to be walking up and down Elmwood downtown.
I feel like I should start a "Tennessee has lost its gotdam mind" thread.
Don't even get me started. This guy didn't even run a discernible campaign (though, in all fairness, neither did any of the other Democrats on the ticket). I realize Corker's seat isn't really worth challenging given his popularity, but this is embarrassing.
^ Corker. I quackin' HATE that smarmy, pompous assss. Sure, he did a few decent things when he was my city's mayor, but daaaamn... I abhor the notion that political office only goes to the highest bidder. Yesterday before I voted (a lot of good THAT did!), I researched his campaign and was dismayed to learn his cash holdings actually exceed the GDP of several European nations combined.
The political system is broken beyond repair.
And yes, Tennessee has lost its mind. It's almost a shame we didn't have Basil Marceaux to kick around this year!

in case anyone was wondering what the music scene is like over here. This is probably the biggest song out right now. For some reason I can't stop listening to it. It's too damn ridiculous/hilarious.
