Is that what happened to Sid Vicious?

DEVASTATOR would be perfect if you had sextuplets, you could name them Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Long Haul, and Mix Master. When you introduce them you could dramatically state, "Meet Scrapper, Hook, Bonecrusher, Scavenger, Long Haul, and Mix Master. Together they form DEVASTATOR!!!" and then add a maniacal laugh.

Just a reminder for those thinking Government regulation is the answer to financial scandals. Check out the following quotes and tell me what they all have in common:

1. "Here’s the thing: the contracts were being paid with generous subsidies from the U.S. Government."

2. "He was found not-guilty of wrongdoing because the courts ruled that “a holding company could not be held responsible for the acts of the companies it controlled”."

3. "That way Gould and Fisk could have inside information as to when the government planned a gold sale."

4. "After the investigation, it was revealed that Keating had made many large (but legal) donations to the campaign funds of five U.S. senators in return for preferential treatment from the SEC. "

The only one that doesn't involve Government officials is the salad oil scandal and who knows, Inspectors may have been given kickbaks in that one too. Government regulations only work if you have ethical Government employees.

From Wikipedia on Ancient Greek Cuisine:

"In Aristophanes' day a piglet cost three drachmas,[36] which was three days wages for a public servant. "

So yeah, enough to buy 221 piglets, or almost two years wages if the dude who buried it was a public servant.

Yikes, this is why conservatives exist. If we followed this type of liberal thinking, in 50 years, we'd be killing off anyone who believed in a god because of their "lower status" and the harm they do in preaching their beliefs.

I've always enjoyed the taste of tap water and look forward to traveling to get a taste of the local water supply (with a few obvious exceptions).

For the longest time I used to yearn to go to Sonic. There wasn't any near me. Everything looked good on their commercials. Finally, on a trip to Florida I found a near-by Sonic and ordered a cherry lime-ade and some kind of burger. They were both terrible. The lime-ade was all water with a cherry in it and the burger was undercooked and dripping with some sort of bland sauce. IT was the worst expectation to reality juxtaposition of my fast food life.

Crotch-mounted bottle opener?

Oh and I did say, the "a-holes on 4chan" and we should all know where the "a-holes on 4chan" come from. I'm a stringent rule follower.

It seems that if people are working at a restaurant where they only get paid for tips, presumable there aren't any jobs open where people get paid wages plus tips. So if this theoretical restaurant were to start paying wages, presumably there would be no job openings since the demand for those jobs is obviously high.

So if you need to make money you benefit by the existence of low demand jobs that are available, like at a restaurant where you only make tips.

Well, it involves misdeeds on both parties but you use a program to fake a webcam, say with a pretty girl or hot guy, you talk with the guy or girl, get an email address for future communication, have the fake webcam guy or girl get naked, then ask the "victim" to show you some goodies. If they do, you can track the email address they gave you to a facebook account. Usually they have set who their girlfriend or boyfriend is, then you forward them a screenshot of them showing on the webcam.

Often people will then post the email exchange of the victim begging the webcam faker to stop. I've also seen older dudes getting in trouble for exposing to "fake minors" but I don't really have a problem with this. Suffice to say, don't get naked and give personal information on chatroulette.

@ Miss Cellania

Why would you work at a place that didn't pay you?

By how much did this incident increase the risk of an accident happening? Probably 0%. Even if the kid said the wrong thing it's not like the plane would have fallen out of the sky.

I'd plant poison ivy. I'm not allergic to it myself, I can roll around in it all day without issue.

But again, I presume they knew the area was subject to such silly codes when they moved in, if not they should have been. I'd never move to an area that told me what I could do with my grass.

This isn't even close to the stuff the a-holes on 4chan are doing. They're ruining lives with chatroulette. Best advice for using chatroulette "Don't ever believe what you see." and remember Admiral Akbar.
