Re: Pharma asswipe strikes again

He's back in the news this week indirectly with his co-conspirator (Evan Greebel) having $10.5 million of his 401(k) account garnished to compensate victims of their scam. That's a lot of money to have in a 401(k) account, but glad it is going to a good use. Odd how this comes down just as Shkreli i...

Re: Kitchen aide

During a snowpocalypse a few years ago (you know, when up to 6 inches of snow was forecast), panicky Portlanders descended on stores and the number one thing they bought was kale which was sold out of every store within a couple of hours. I don't believe there was a similar run on coconut oil though.

Surely, the higher the volume the higher the number who dislike it.

Don't you mean "inverse" in relation to those who "like" it? - i.e. the more volume, the fewer assholes akin to those in the vehicle enjoy it.
Yes, but don't call me Shirley.

Re: Gambling on the Internet

Rubato's description of the right of the tribes is correct, but in California the voters went further and allowed Indian casinos to operate slot machines and other devices like video poker that are not otherwise played in California. I think most people who voted for this expansion thought it a way ...

Contest to name the axiom that the louder someone plays music while driving in their car is inversely related to the number of people who dislike the music.

Re: Americans really are stupid as a box of hammers

I'll give them a brain fart on the back to back non-POTUS answers. They were having a good laugh over it almost immediately, so they got it. Was surprised Obama was not number 1, and JFK was still over 40%. Kind of gives you a glimpse at who they survey. When they guessed Bush, Steve Harvey did not ...

Just scanned this but it does not look like anything new here. I know our legal liability fund for years/decades has provided education of procrastination along these lines (I always meant to go to one of those seminars, obligatory lame joke).

Re: Just when you thought you could stop hoarding the toilet paper

It is good, high quality, kibble. I have had other bags sit on my porch or walkway (where delivery left it), and bears passing by have consistently ignored it. Bears here are not hurting for food.

Don't know about TP, but the bears ripped apart a big box of 24 smaller boxes of facial tissue, kind of an ursine house prank, papering the yard. Left the huge bag of dry dog food, but the dogs still don't like them.

Re: A horse walked into a bar . . .

Imagine what the Donald would do if the mayor was a female Mexican Hairless? Totally off-topic, but reminds me of one of my favorite Somerset Maugham short stories from his Ashenden spy stories, partially based on his WWI service: "I'm expecting a fellow to come and see me tonight," he said at last...
