OT - Some Asshat Tagged My House edition

that can only have come from 4chan. It’s in very poor taste, and yet I can’t look away. I think it makes me a bad person.

I actually thought his was better than some of the noncommittal junk that passes for apologies (I’m sorry if someone took offense to my remarks, etc).

I’ve also had my house egged and TPed and whatnot. In each case, I imagine I did something deserving of such treatment, perhaps as simple as being a bit odd, but it always seemed to fall on a weekend when I was visiting my dad and by the time I came back, it was always gone. Thus, I never felt any sort of embarrassment or frustration over it.

Not the same as graffiti I guess?

You couldn’t just do what Australia does and get rid of the damn thing?

Solution

My friend had a similar situation with a neighborhood tagger. Some kid kept tagging people’s fences and such. When we’d get it cleaned up, he’d come back a few nights later and do it again. After cleaning up his newest piece of artwork, we decided we’d spend the next couple of nights laying in wait for him. Sure enough, he was back two nights later. We grabbed the kid and I called another buddy of mine who is a local sheriff. No significant jail time (he was 13), but he was punished nonetheless.

Tiger is a odd duck and hard to gauge because he never breaks from his script but its probably because hes put a lot of thought into what he wanted to say.

Weekend? Getting my Demo Reel site built finally.

Jerks.

Garmisch-Partenkirchen to be specific. Any of you other globe trotters been there? It’s one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Sorry about your garage pdb. That’s a mega bummer.

Stupidest thing you’ve ever gotten into an argument about? Hopefully this won’t be bound to pop culture items like best Bond or something like that, but things that seemed a bit outrageous to get worked up about and you did anyway.

I’ll start. Last Friday a friend of mine was having a get together at his place where there was drinking involved. A fellow whom I’m not particularly fond of was there, the type that tries to come up with obscure bits of knowledge to puff himself up in front of other people. He was trying to convince the rest of the table that Archimedes was best known for measuring the circumference of the world using shadows from monuments. That was Eratosthenes, who wasn’t even Greek, so I spent a good five minute tearing into him for that, demanding a laptop to prove it, before he eventually backed off, still convinced he was right but not wanting to deal with it.

Bonus points: at a Christmas party about five years back, there was a lawyer there who was trying to convince the rest of the room that Manx cats had short tails because they were crossbred with rabbits. Hence, the explanation of why his own Manx hopped around so much. facepalm

What if hookers, whores and crazy three way sex with super models is a key part of Tiger Woods’ process? What if he returns to the tour and can’t find his stroke again without some kinky broad there to stroke him beforehand? I don’t know Woods or the secret to his success but let’s imagine for a moment having sex with not-this-wife is part of that process.

So Woods becomes a faithful and pious man, but Woods never makes a single par again. How many golf fans would follow him, pay $1000s of dollars to see him play or buy anything he endorsed?

And what if everyone realized Woods’ on field performance problem was linked to his off the field non-performing? Would sports talk shows be screaming for someone to get Marisa Miller and Alessandra Ambrosio to Woods’ hotel room so he could at least make the cut at the Masters? Would the PGA fly Woods out to Vegas so they could legally pay Brooklyn Decker to service him? Would Woods have his own little booth he could go to between tee offs were some barely legal cutie could wash his balls for him?

I started playing golf because of Tiger Woods. His first few years transcended the sport. I do not watch Woods because of his sex life. I watch him because he is far and away the best to ever play a very hard sport.
The ONLY thing Woods has promised me as a fan is to make every effort to be his best GOLFER on that day. Everything else is an issue (or not an issue) for his family and friends.
 

Sorry I just know way too much about sex, marriage/alt. marriages and gender issues and this stuff is just bother some.

@TheRealMariners Position players are starting to trickle in: Griffey, Gutierrez, Figgins as well as several others have been spotted in the clubhouse.

he suggested $20. I think I spent that much on buying the jersey, then I had to spend $10 more or so to put the famous number on the back of it.

He should have started with $50, but I still don’t think I would have done it. It is said that everyone has a price. I feel like mine’s just really high.

Does the city you live in not have Tag removal services? Los Angeles will remove gang tags from your property free of charge AFAIK. You call a number with the city and it usually happens within a day or two.

Good news: Got my Mariners Annual in the mail today

Bad news: It looks like it’s been folded up a few times, and the spine is ripped in 3 spots. It hardly opens >:(

ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reports that Russell Branyan has agreed to terms with the Indians on a one-year, $2 million contract.
The deal also contains $1 million in performance-based bonuses and a $5 million option for 2011. Branyan, 34, will provide insurance at first base for Matt LaPorta, who is coming off multiple surgeries, and he might even find time at DH. Branyan also drew heavy interest from the Rays.

Good luck Russell. Thanks for being awesome last year.

Patrick Warburton and Richard Kind are two of my favorite supporting actors. Warburton’s deadpan is perfect for Kind’s excitable attitude on these commercials.

I don’t know if they were aiming for the window, but had they been less drunk, they might have actually hit it. Then again, had they been less drunk, they might not have thrown a fucking rock at our house to begin with.
When we first moved here, we had two little kids from down the street who would come to our house (we often keep the front blinds drawn) after dark and kick the front door, then run. Someone’s parents were apparently not home on these nights. The first time they got away with it, as we couldn’t figure out what had happened initially – but the second time they did it, my husband ran out of the house and yelled at them as they were running down the sidewalk as loudly as he could. Hasn’t happened since.
Other than that, we live in a pretty decent neighborhood…

710 just had an ad for an evening show with Cashman Pere et Fils

I think he sped down the alley, missed the corner, smashed a parked car, put it in reverse, floored it into my house, put it back into drive but still couldn’t make the corner, and came to rest in a yard across the street. Very strange accident, and still not apparent how it all happened.

When the cops pulled him out of the car he looked drunk (possibly in shock though) but when they were giving him the sobriety test he couldn’t communicate cause of a significant language barrier, so they didn’t make him jump through all those hoops and thus all we observers had to go on was his wobbling about. I heard later on that a) he was a known drunk and b) the police report showed that he wasn’t intoxicated. A rather strange contradiction, and thus began an insurance nightmare.

My friend’s car was tagged too, but they live in Puyallup. Read that they used Krud Kutter to clean it off. Supposed to be a miracle drug for those sorts of things…

Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News reports that the Mets are trying to void their waiver claim on Jay Marshall because the left-hander had a preexisting shoulder injury.
New York claimed Marshall off waivers from Oakland about six weeks ago. He’s already 27 years old and projects as no more than a left-handed specialist, so an injured Marshall has little value.

They’re remaking Red Dawn. RED DAWN!

I’m putting a bunch of stuff onto my external harddrive for backup at the moment. Any easy suggestions?
