Man, I didn't know they had specific laws dealing with the tampering of Halloween Candy.
Isn't that just an urban legend?

this is probably the safest time to order dominoes. every store has someone from corporate in it or some type of " big guy making sure no one fucks around".

I'm mildly impressed that nobody ran in here to start a thread after Michael Jackson died.

This is late, but I was really surprised that nobody even mentioned it.
I didn't wanna bring it up though, because I was afraid people would be mean and disrespectful and that would just make me really mad/sad.

i kinda didn't mind that no one mentioned it. it was impossible to go anywhere without hearing about him (still is), so it was cool when people didn't freak out about him here.

How has General news been dead for a year straight?

Argentina legalized same-sex marriage this week. For a place that's like 99.9999%* Roman Catholic, that's pretty incredible.

*Not a real statistic

Argentina is a very Catholic country.. but they're very open mind people...
I wonder if you know about the miners here in Chile who survived 18 days under 700 m in a mine

some reporter lady tried to interview me for one the local telugu chans... i was skipping school so didnt actually WANT to be interviewed.. it was a fun experience.

the convo went something like this:

her: do you know who michael jackson is?
me: :wtf:

her: okay good.. can i interview for tv9?
me: no.
her: why?
me: my telugu is bad...
her: thats okay you can speak in english and we'll put subtitles on..
me: thats okay.. i'd rather not
her: but its michael jackson... and he died...
me: yes... yes he did... im aware of that fact..
her: do you like him?
me: umm.. not not really
her: why not?! he was a great dancer?!
me: wtf?
her: so you dont like him?
me: nope.
her: oh... i see...
me: yes.

then i walked away.. well tried to.. she stopped me again and asked some more questions and tried to convince me to do it.. i said no... it took 20 mins to get her to leave me alone.. afterwards i just put my headphones on and turned up the ipod to full so i couldnt hear her :nod:

Of course, and I am so happy they managed, after all this time, to get them all out alive.
