Then you would have the person who would buy it know where you live.

Good point! And if they are crazy enough to pay money for a CRT TV I don't want them knowing where I live.

It was on FB and made me giggle just a little when the gal got pissed when I told her that her 7 year old CRT was not worth 20 bucks but then I just about died when someone actually offered her 70 dollars for it.... Two idiots without a clue....

At a Sheetz pulling up to a pump and nearly fell over from the  :censored: they threw down to soak up something.  You throw it down, sweep it around and get it up....at least that's what we did when I worked for my father in law in the 70's.   :censored: kids these days don't have a  :censored: clue....and that's who they hire these days.  This could also be filed under what drives me crazy as well.

No, I was too busy doing the soft shoe trying to stay upright.  I think I'm going to sell them.  I have the rears and I have the GSG sliders currently.  I need more shelf space.

Then I would be like the rest of the masses..  Can't have that.  Not prudent.  Also, I can use the money to have the seat reworked as that's nearly as costly as getting it new.

The masses are never right.  I get nervous when more than three people agree on anything.

No that only two agreeing with the first who now has the option of disagreeing in order to break the cycle of needless agreeing.

Scratch away gentlemen, you can't make this :censored: up!

Police: Nude man tried to rob Rockford, IL bank.
http://www.daily-chronicle.com/2014/08/16/police-nude-man-tried-to-rob-rockford-bank/aam8phi/

ROCKFORD – Rockford police have arrested a 32-year-old man they say tried to rob a bank while naked.

The Rockford Register Star reports police said Ezekial Deanda approached a personal banker on Friday “while completely disrobed.” They say he then demanded money.

Police say Deanda fled the lobby area with an unspecified amount of cash. He was later found in the bank’s basement restroom, where he was getting dressed.

Deanda is charged with robbery, resisting a police officer and aggravated battery of a police officer.


Um, why in the world the teller give him money? Obviously he doesn't have a weapon!    :rotflmao:
