  1. No way, like in "Meet the Fockers"? Future Ben
  2. Meh, my roundtrip commute is < 10 miles/day -- and it's not like my new truck gets any better gas mileage than my S10 did anyway. Gotta pay to play I suppose. Though I found this interesting. U.S. Gasoline Usage Peaked In 2006, Will Plummet In Future http://www.greencarreports.com/blog/1052787_u-s-gasoline-usage-peaked-in-2006-will-plummet-in-future So according to the charts I've seen... gas prices basically mimmick China's usage since the US is becoming pretty efficient. Thank them.

  4. If the conservatives want to censor Huckleberry Finn, this is only the next logical step. I don't even see the need for Jim as a character in Huck Finn, he's only 3/5ths of an actual person.
  5. Deal for today... $10 + free shipping http://www.meritline.com/car-keys-micro-camera-camera---p-45412.aspx You need to provide the TCF card.

  6. I'd wait for Wikileaks to come with the BoA stuff before investing in them or the financial sector in general. Then after everyone sells it, buy it cheap and make bank.
  7. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex I feel like I should be an equal opportunity hater today.
  8. Ranked in order of the amount of homosexual, racist, and sheep banging jokes (least to most) 1. LinkedIn 2. Facebook 3. ORDN I don't think LinkedIn is your cup of tea as far a social networking goes Mr. Fonzie.
  9. I have my Class A racing license in Forza. Wut now, bitch!?
  10. Troll harder today funnyman Casper.
  11. ZOMFG this is quite shocking! No Surprise, Republicans to Break Promise on Spending Cuts Or... PROMISES, PROMISES: GOP drops some out of the gate http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110106/ap_on_go_co/us_congress_gop_promises
  12. I wouldn't want that CBR after your icky mexican hands got pico de gallo all over the throttle and thumbswitches. Maybe he needs to buy a new one because he's a germophobe? Maybe he doesn't want ass-cooties from the last person who rode it?
  13. I guess it would depend on how fat your stack really is. At Fidelity for example, a lot of the mutual funds require a $2500 minimum to buy in. But here -- read these, should keep you occupied for awhile. Educate yourself on how this stuff works, it's important, trust me. 10 investing basics from Buffett http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/learn-how-to-invest/10-investing-basics-from-Buffett.aspx The Ultimate Buy-and-Hold Strategy - 2009 Update http://www.fundadvice.com/articles/buy-hold/the-ultimate-buy-and-hold-strategy.html <--- this is by far my favorite piece Mutual Fund Analyzer from FINRA http://apps.finra.org/fundanalyzer/1/fa.aspx The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), is the largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States. All told, FINRA oversees nearly 4,800 brokerage firms, about 170,400 branch offices and approximately 643,000 registered securities representatives.

Rebalance when necessary. EDUCATE YOURSELF <--- probably the most important advice.
  14. I had to do that because it kept getting caught in the chain and highsiding me. But then it turns out that I really just sucked at racing. True story.
  15. This is the cheapest and best option if you don't want full coverage. Or, instead of full coverage, put liability + comp on it and ditch the collision part of the insurance. Comp covers fire, theft, vandalism -- I believe comp would even cover you if you hit a deer, since it's not your fault. Collision is what covers you and your ride if you do something stupid and it's your fault. So, don't do anything stupid that's YOUR fault or you end up eating the cost of your own mistake. Collision also happens to be the most expensive part of the policy too, so drop that -- keep liability (so you're legal to ride) and comp (to cover other disrespectful a$$holes and mother nature) with a high deductible and you should be covered cheap.
  16. That's fine, not all of us have that silver spoon. I sure as hell wouldn't pay $200/mo to insure a new toy. And you already said you aren't good with credit. So that's how investors get rich. If you're rich enough to afford $200/mo just to insure it, then you don't care if insurance companies which I invest in get a piece of that pie, or on the flip side, you're not bright enough to use that money for better purposes and you're stuck in a perpetual debt trap, living hand-to-mouth, and never being able to retire because you can't afford it. Either situation, I get rich because you don't care about my cut, or you're gonna slave the rest of your life to pay me off. But like shitty pointed out, you having less money makes everyone that has more feel better about themselves. More power to you.
  17. Plz continue to post what and where you spend money. I'll be starting a Jst2fst index fund because with your financial savvy and priorities in life -- my partners and I will be making gobs of money off you. Ride safe on that Yami

  19. I don't recall this being a repost, but it's still my duty to rain on the parade by telling you this is old news. She had this surgery in 2009, it's a year and a half old. http://www.sportsbybrooks.com/more-new-pix-of-simona-halep-you-havent-seen-24811 On the bright side, she's legal now. Them boobies in the OP are 17yr old boobies.
  20. That's the night Sinner permanently lost hearing in his right ear.
  21. It's just a really high-res image of Goatse what the fuss is about.
  22. Trolling in a political thread.... I never expected that'd ever happen. And it'll probably hook me 8.5 times outta 10, so you got that going for you. Especially on a slow afternoon...
