Mitsubishi concept version of a mid-sized pickup is displayed during the North American International Auto Show at Cobo Hall in Detroit. Sales of new vehicles are expected to rebound to near-record volumes again this year, and all signs are that Asian automakers plan to carve out a nigger piece of the lucrative truck segment(AFP/Jeff Haynes) i can see this though, b is right next to the n, and spell check will clear it...but someone should've proofread!
  2. Man says he’s addicted to cable; wants to sue Charter By Lee Reinsch the reporter lreinsch@fdlreporter.com Cable TV made a West Bend man addicted to TV, caused his wife to be overweight and his kids to be lazy, he says. And he’s threatening to sue the cable company. Timothy Dumouchel of West Bend wants $5,000 or three computers, and a lifetime supply of free Internet service from Charter Communications to settle what he says will be a small claims suit. Dumouchel blames Charter for his TV addiction, his wife’s 50-pound weight gain and his children’s being “lazy channel surfers,†according to a Fond du Lac police report. Charter employees called police to the local office at 165 Knight’s Way the evening of Dec. 23 after Dumouchel showed up with a small claims complaint, reportedly intimidated an employee and made “low-level threats†to employees’ safety, according to a police report. The report states Dumouchel gave an employee five minutes to get a supervisor to talk to him or their next contact would be “in the ocean with the sharks.†According to the report, Dumouchel told Charter employees he plans to sue because his cable connection remained intact four years after he tried to get it canceled. The result was that he and his family got free cable from August of 1999 to Dec. 23, 2003. “I believe that the reason I smoke and drink every day and my wife is overweight is because we watched TV every day for the last four years,†Dumouchel stated in a written complaint against the company, included in a Fond du Lac police report. “But the reason I am suing Charter is they did not let me make a decision as to what was best for myself and my family and (they have been) keeping cable (coming) into my home for four years after I asked them to turn it off.†According to the police report, Dumouchel called Charter to stop his cable service in August of 1999 and was taken off the billing but not the cable service. In a written statement, he said he put the family TV in the basement in 1999 after he had called to get cable disconnected, but soon thereafter, his wife had moved it back and hooked up the cable connection, and it still worked. He stated he “made a deal†with her that “she could watch TV as long as the cable worked.†He then went back to Charter and asked that they disconnect his service, which they reportedly never did. He stated that he called Charter several times to get the service disconnected for good because he felt it was addictive, according to the report. Charter’s director of government and public relations for eastern Wisconsin, John Miller, says he doesn’t take the threat of a lawsuit seriously. “Even though we consider our services to be a very powerful entertainment product, I don’t think it’s reached a medical level yet where it could be proved to be addictive,†Miller said. “In our society, any kind of legal action shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone,†he added. Wisconsin Circuit Court records show no civil lawsuit papers filed in Dumouchel’s name. http://www.wisinfo.com/thereporter/news/archive/local_14044768.shtml

    who says I surf the net and don't do nothin? I work helpdesk (don't laugh, industry sucks) and I deal with a lot of babies, er... adults. I can just multitask very well... Jon: pot:kettle, my friend!
  5. well, the problem is that out of the 2k, the exhaust is 900 bucks for the top quality 3" unit. as far as neons and 10k of work, that's useless. My friend Don dynoed 197whp, ran 13.5 on slicks with 150lbs of tools in hte trunk, and he hasn't spent over 20k on the car, including buying it new for 12.5
  6. 2k in mods, and the thing can be putting down 260-270 to the wheels. wrong wheel drive tho
  7. In DC, a guy sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a black mutt just sitting there. "You talk?" he asks. "Sure do," the dog replies. "So, what's your story?" The dog looks up and says, "Well, I discovered my gift of talking pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running. The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired." The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says, "Ten dollars." The guy says, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?" "Cause he's a liar. He didn't do any of that shlt."
  8. Sure, it has a 390cid motor with 600hp, but it looks EMO! the whole car looks sad, and shelby looks like he has a stick up his butt
  9. At my previous job (where I got laid off from) there was a russian ass-hole Mark working there (other than me), except this guy had no sense of humor, and had a superiority complex. He was known to throw out insults at random, and arguing regarding anything We had a meet in LA for pre-sales engineers, engineers and sales guys. about 20-25 people in the room, some of importance. People were writing notes on white boards, and I had my camera with me. My boss says "take pics of the meeting so we can post up pics on the department page." Someone else chimes in with "alex, take pics of the whiteboard so we don't have to." Not a problem. Mark the ******* says "Now, don't everyone crowd alex at once, he's a little slow, and he can't multitask well." I'm looking at him with "WTF?!" look, and so is everyone else. In split second, eyes shift to me because everyone (25 people) are expecting my response. So I reply with "Mark, if I wanted to listen to an ass-hole, I'd fart." 10 second pause. Mark's jaw produces a gaping hole of a mouth. He's stunned. He can't for the life of him figure out how to combat a 3rd grade insult. My coworkers start falling out of their chairs laughing, because they all hate him. My boss (who also isn't a fan of Mark) is trying her best to hold the laughs in. "I'm going outside for a smoke" Mark says, and disappears for a while. My boss tells me to not do that again, because there were a couple of directors in that room, and not to do it because she can't stop laughing. For the duration of the next year until the company shut down, Mark didn't say a word to me unless it was business related

  16. Rebecca and Gary English 44A Creative Writing Prof Miller In-class Assignment for Wednesday Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his or her immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to reread what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached. * * * * * * At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The camomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked camomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So camomile was out of the question. Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit. He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth — when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree, with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully. Little did she know, but she has less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Anu'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow 'em out of the sky!" This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent. Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium. You total bastard. Stupid cunt.
