Random thread: Where's your postcount now, (tpd) bitch

(And that's proper pints, not your weasley American pints.)

Unfortunately for some states (like mine), any beer not bought in a liquor store cannot exceed 3.2% alcohol, so there is no point to it.  8(

I don't think you can even get beer that weak up here

Twitter strikes again.  God, these people are dumb.

If you can, watch The Daily Show from Monday.  Jon Stewart was friends with Anthony Weiner long before either of them were famous/in government, and his take on the situation is, to put it mildly, "unique".

As well, its come to light that it's highly unlikely Weiner did anything dumb.  The EXIF data for the posted wang doesn't match the phone or camera he normally uses, and YFrog (which he uses for pic hosting) has a pretty massive security hole that can allow anyone to post a picture to anyone's twitter account with a very small amount of dictionary hammering.

I was just flipping back to this tab from the article to comment on how suspicious it made me that "the tweet of the tasteless photo first was reported on Saturday by BigGovernment.com, a site run by conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart."  Breitbart isn't exactly known for his unbiased, unedited, honest journalism of late (I only say "of late" because the Sherrod thing was the first I'd heard of him).  It makes me so happy that you already had the scoop on the possible techsplotation involved.  I'm rather fond of Rep. Weiner, and would quite possibly support a campaign for president by him, so I was a little sad when I saw his name in the link r00 posted.  I know he's still a) a politician, and b) a human being, but I still hope that it is a fabrication.

what continues to make me dubious of Weiner is he didnt just say it wasn't him.   He said he "can't say with certitude" whether it was his crotch or not in the photo.  To me that says he wants to be on both sides of the fence so he is covered no matter which side it falls on.  Spoken like a true politician who fears being caught at something.

So maybe some of you have heard about the six tornadoes that came through Massachusetts recently. One of my closest friends had her house completely destroyed and her father ended up in the hospital overnight. Everyone's fine now, but the entire situation seems pretty surreal. I also feel completely fucking helpless, especially because she's still searching for her two cats. I plan on giving them money but it feels like a total cop out. I don't know. My head's still kind of a mess over the whole situation.

It also didn't help that some Cunterella at work made a big fucking joke about the whole thing today. I had to step outside before I choked the life out of that bitch.

You have more self control than I do.  >8|

Don't feel bad about giving them money.  I am sure every little thing counts for them right now.  Maybe once they get settled, you could get her a new cat if she doesn't manage to find the ones she lost.  I can't imagine having something like that happen to me.

I think the true heart of that comes more from being an insecure male than actually a politician.  I think he wants people to think he might actually be that hung, for whatever douchebag purpose that might serve.

That's just terrible, please send them my condolences.  That kind of loss is just life shattering.  Hopefully their insurance actually comes through for them and can get them a new start.

I really had no choice. I need my job and openly punching someone in the face surely would have gotten me fired. But I did make sure to loudly mention near her that I had a friend that lost everything in the tornado before angrily storming outside for a smoke. I didn't hear a peep out of her for the rest of the day, so hopefully she heard me.

Thanks, I will. I'm not entirely sure if they owned or rented the house, but I pray that they had some kind of insurance policy. Seeing pictures of the house leveled like that is devastating.

My tattoo artist friend is also doing a donation drive for them through the month of June.

Am so sorry to hear that Ash. Am praying for the kitty's safe return since the humans are thankfully okay.

Some close friends of mine lost their house and contents in a fire many years ago, so I know that ANYTHING helps, even if it just lending a shoulder to cry on. Don't feel like it's a cop out. Help of any sort will be greatly appreciated

I have some friends into the home-brewing thing.  I had some while I was over there to grill out on Memorial Day, and it was delicious.  They also had an earlier attempt that they warned me tasted like Pine-Sol, and they were mostly right, but the stuff they were actually proud of was pretty good.

inre: limits on beer alcohol, I am glad Iowa has no such laws.  I can get beers 6.0 and above at the gas stations by my apartment and my parents house, and the grocery store by my apartment.  Which is great, since the nearest dedicated liquor store is downtown and is like, 3 miles away, compared to the grocery store, which is literally next door.

That's where I'm leaning too, Lib.  Can I ask why you say so?

Just my personal take because I got married at 24, and I had no idea who I was yet.  I thought I did, but it really wasn't until I was in my early 30's that I figured a lot out about myself.  (But maybe I just matured late??) 

And there is your very abridged version.

I can't believe the memories some people have of the old PI board.  A lot is going over my head. 

Edit now that I read the rest of the thread:

My WT beer - I'll say it once, and I'll say it again: High Life for this low life. 

Drone- I'm sorry about your friend's situation.   I didn't see any bit of the storm.  Guess I am in a good part of the state.
