the weather guy said "only flurries", "no measurable accumulation"
talk about misleading...
flurries began at noon.
within 30 min. of flurries, the road was iced over and trafic stopped.
my roommate was stuck in trafic for 9 hours and didnt get to his girls place till midnight.
i am a dumb ass and slamed my car in to a curb just driving back from my lunch break.
schools let out at 1:30, but some school busses were stuck in trafic for as much as 6 or 7 hours. and some kids just stayed at school overnight.
the weather station apologised for the error, as the show's producer was giving an on location trafic report cus he was stuck in trafic for 7 hours... (now thats irony).
all this from only about 1/8th of an inch of snow.
they are calling for 2 inches tonight. i think ill be callin in tomorrow.
LMFAO...lightweights those Southerners.

Do yourself a favor and read it. Not only is it funny as all hell, but he's a fantastic writer.
God-damn man....what are you doing hanging around here? Write a friggin novel!

TiVo; I can then watch what I want, when I want.
I don't really watch that many shows though. These are the only ones I watch:
Veronica Mars
Lost
Judging Amy
Enterprise
Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Point Pleasant (potentially)
Battlestar Galactica (potentially)
I'd much rather watch a show that has an actual story arch, rather than a bunch of individual standalone episodes. Unfortunately, there aren't many shows like that...

Most companies require you to escrow if you are putting less than 20% down. If you are escrowing you typically earn the same amount on that money as you do if the money was in a savings account.
The financial institution does not earn interest on that money because it's in your account.
You sir are correct.
I had a VA mortgage with escrow. I always had my taxes and insurance paid on time and I even got money back most years.

All I know is Tujunga Canyon in North Hollywood which is mostly a dumpy district although like most of LA there are pockets of cool areas. It's like the northern tip of LA in "the Valley" before it becomes Sunland. Tujunga Canyon road is a long street which leads into Universal City and Studios I think. Why? Let me know if I can help with something specific.
Just doing some research. So is Sunland in the same kind of way, that is...dumpy?

What can you tell me about Tujunga?

I need a good book to read about Los Angeles. Preferably one that covers history, geography and tells some interesting stories.
And, yes, I've used Google and Amazon, but haven't really come up with anything good. Any of you LA people out there have any ideas?

Yeah the husband looks like he is only ambition in life is to own a double wide in the park. Trashy! The little kid was cute, but where were her shoes?
I have a problem with the entire audition process. First and foremost we all know here that randy, simon and paula do not screen all the 20k contestants. They get to look at a select few. From that we see that the producers let in the really bad singers for the gag. What gets me is that most of these "acts" bring family and friends down and they look truly shocked that they don't make it. I mean who gives these folks the idea that they are good? Don't they realize they are part of the joke element of the show?
Exactly.
I let the ol' lady watch it and read my latest issue of US News cover-to-cover.
American Idol is trash.

He made the decision to start drinking when he knew he was going to get into his car and drive home later. I'm going to surmise that this wasn't the first time doing either thing for this clown. Dude needs to be removed from the gene pool.
I'm tired of seeing people who sell alcohol blamed for the actions of those who imbibe. The slippery slope is deeply compromised.
Yes, well, what other recourse did the family of the TWO YEAR OLD GIRL forever doomed to life in a wheelchair have?
This loser probably doesn't have anything.
And yes, Aramark was responsible for selling the azzhat beer.

Actually I don't have a problem with this. Clearly, when someone is intoxicated they don't have control of their situation.
This guy wasn't just drunk, he was HAMMERED, and Aramark had a big part in that.

Not sure why this Democrat's answer is your justification for lying to peope in order to push the largest debt accumulation onto the backs of future generations but it's sad to say the least. SS is a tax that prevent the elederly from living in poverty and destroying SS adds to the deficit more than just leaving it as is.
As a REAL Republican and a Christian I won't be able to agree with you BS argument to do so because it means massive debt accumulation and lying in order to do it.
1) Suprisingly, BILL CLINTON was the first to use the term "crisis" WRT Social Security.
2) I fail to see how allowing people to manage the money that is placed into their Social Security accounts will be the root cause for "LYING" and "MASSIVE DEBT ACCUMULATION". Please explain your "logic" behind that statement.

The thing about Kaiser Wilhelm that no one ever hears about, though, is that he tried to STOP the war...or almost tried. When the Serbs replied to the ten points of the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum, they actually accepted nine of them and were willing to submit the tenth to international arbitration (Austro-Hungarian oversight of the Serbian legal process in trying Prinzip's co-conspirators - basically, a demand that Austria-Hungary be given control of the Serbian judicial process, which is a ludicrous demand, and shows just how far the Serbs were willing to go to avoid war.) The Kaiser, on hearing of the response, composed a diplomatic note to Emperor Franz Josef advising that Serbia's response was acceptable and Germany thus would not back them if it came to war.
His advisors talked him out of sending the note.
If he had...who knows? Maybe the whole thing just becomes another skirmish in the Greater Balkan War of 1911-1919...no Russian Revolution, no Versailles, no anti-Versailles German nationalistic backlash, no Hitler or Stalin...I always had a tough time buying the story that Kaiser Wilhelm was any worse than his fellow royalty just because Germany was the strongest of the Central Powers...but still, should have stuck to your guns and sent the note, Wilhelm.
Isn't it amazing how the most seemingly inconsequential of things (sending a short note) can end up changing EVERYTHING?
That's what I love about history, it's the old "for want of a shoe, the horse was lost" factor.
For instance....what if Jesus hadn't been crucified? Likely without martyrdom, his fame would not have spread, the old Pagan religions may have survived much longer, allowing the Roman tradition to continue in the west, sparing much of Europe from the Dark ages, etc....

Oh, I do. I think if she added about 25 lbs, she'd be perfect. But hey, she's in race shape there. You should see her on the cover of Bicycling magazine.
She's much softer there. Berry nice!

Bastard.....
Modern monarchy (an oxymoron, surely) = inefficient use of my (and everyone elses') £s.
It really annoys me that there is one family in this country that has utterly different rights to everyone else just because, ultimately, in ages past their ancestors were more vicious bastards than anyone else's.
Great believer in getting to your station in life via merit and the Saxe-Gotha-Windsor-Whatever-their-REAL-name-is are just a rediculously wealthy, barely taxed (in comparison to everyone else) dysfunctional family on the biggest welfare ticket in town. AAAAAARGH!!!!!!
Pickle them all and put them in a museum so the babbling masses can go and 'oooh' and 'aaaah' at them.
(The monarchy and the constant fawning to those bloody ......GERMANS...... is one of the few things I truely dislike about the UK, if you had not guessed)
What fawning to the Germans are you speaking about?

Finally got to seeing "Life Aquatic" this weekend. Like the other Wes Anderson films (Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Bottle Rocket), this one is a little shorter on plot than it is on pure enjoyment, good lines and excellent moments, not to mention creative filmmaking and a great soundtrack.
I really enjoyed it. Don't want to give away too much, but Murray is once again amazing (and the rest of the cast is great as well, Cate Blanchett & Willem Dafoe especially). It's a shame the awards circuit is shafting him again.
I hated the Royal Tennenbaums.
It wasn't short on plot. It had NO plot.

Sign Ryan Diem.
Do that and instantly the line is MUCH stronger. Too bad we're still weak at center.
