  1. You have a problem believing that's not true?
  2. I have sleeping problems. Marked down to $179 I'm really disturbed by your fascination with a fat guy in a bikini. Does TBD need to issue a restraining order against you on behalf of all the guys here?
  3. Pissing off Gangsta Kitty aint a good idea foo!
  4. IMO, three in a row is easier to land on than one on each side. JMO Also, the quick way to put up hotels is to get them really cheaply. Hence, my slumlord strategy. If you own that whole side it's rare that somebody escapes one of those properties.
  5. This could be considered terroristic threats. JMO
  6. You say that like it's a bad thing. I can't see how that works when you only have four chances of landing on it, except for the lucky pull of the card, of which there are only two. Since the front row is so cheap to build up you can have Hotels up very quickly. BTW, does anybody else put all the fines in the center of the board and when somebody lands on parking place they get all of it?
  7. is Pretty Damn Funny Too!
  8. Good luck JP you're a good guy!
  9. Linky I'd do her! My mom lives in Allentown. My Grandparents are from the Lehigh Valley too!
  10. You should read the only authorized biography of him. It's called Shakey. Good read. He has a whole car collection. He buys them junked and has somebody rebuild them. Pretty cool!
  11. If he backs up his talk on the field - LOOKOUT AFCE!! I agree. They've all been said before, over and over. That's my favorite quote too! That's different. They always have been and always will be to real men.
  12. Oh, boy I got a part!! Stardom here I come!! [Deano disobeys Steely's order to kill Damj, who taunts Steely over the communicator] Damj: Steely, you bloodsucker. You're going to have to do your own dirty work now! Do you hear me? Do you? Steely: Damj? You're still alive, my old friend? Damj: Still, "old friend!" You've managed to kill everyone else, but like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target! Steely: Perhaps I no longer need to try, Bonehead. [beams the last post thread device away] Damj: Steely... Steely, you've got the last thread device but you don't have me. You were going to kill me, Steely. You're going to have to come down here. You're going to have to come down here! Steely: I've done far worse than kill you, Bonehead. I've hurt you. And I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left Lana; marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet... buried alive! Buried alive...! Damj: STEEEEEEEEELLLLLY! [echo] Damj: STEEEEEEEEELLLLLY! He'll just cheat and close the thread with himself at the end. Like you know anything about current "coolness"
  13. I assume there is a bathroom in your house.
  14. July 31: General Interest 1975 : Jimmy Hoffa disappears On July 31, 1975, James Riddle Hoffa, one of the most influential American labor leaders of the 20th century, disappears in Detroit, Michigan, never to be heard from again. Though he is popularly believed to have been the victim of a Mafia hit, conclusive evidence was never found, and Hoffa's death remains shrouded in mystery to this day. Born in 1913 to a poor coal miner in Brazil, Indiana, Jimmy Hoffa proved a natural leader in his youth. At the age of 20, he helped organize a labor strike in Detroit, and remained an advocate for downtrodden workers for the rest of his life. Hoffa's charisma and talents as a local organizer quickly got him noticed by the Teamsters and carried him upward through its ranks. Then a small but rapidly growing union, the Teamsters organized truckers across the country, and through the use of strikes, boycotts and some more powerful though less legal methods of protest, won contract demands on behalf of workers. Hoffa became president of the Teamsters in 1957, when its former leader was imprisoned for bribery. As chief, Hoffa was lauded for his tireless work to expand the union, and for his unflagging devotion to even the organization's least powerful members. His caring and approachability were captured in one of the more well-known quotes attributed to him: "You got a problem? Call me. Just pick up the phone." Hoffa's dedication to the worker and his electrifying public speeches made him wildly popular, both among his fellow workers and the politicians and businessmen with whom he negotiated. Yet, for all the battles he fought and won on behalf of American drivers, he also had a dark side. In Hoffa's time, many Teamster leaders partnered with the Mafia in racketeering, extortion and embezzlement. Hoffa himself had relationships with high-ranking mobsters, and was the target of several government investigations throughout the 1960s. In 1967, he was convicted of bribery and sentenced to 15 years in prison. While in jail, Hoffa never ceded his office, and when Richard Nixon commuted his sentence in 1971, he was poised to make a comeback. Released on condition of not participating in union activities for 10 years, Hoffa was planning to fight the restriction in court when he disappeared on July 31, 1975, from the parking lot of a restaurant in Detroit, not far from where he got his start as a labor organizer. Several conspiracy theories have been floated about Hoffa’s disappearance and the location of his remains, but the truth remains unknown. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ironic his middle name is Riddle. Is he in Giants stadium? Is he at the bottom of the sea? Was he fodder for the wolves? Is he hanging out with Elvis on the earth drinking beers and eating thick burgers? A mystery forever, probably.
  15. And yet you keep coming back for more!!
