There is this crossing guard on my morning commute that I hate. It's not only because he looks like a creepy old pedo. He doesn't quite have a concept of... well... cars. He jumped right out in front of me this morning without warning. I was only going like 20-25... but he only gave me about 40-50 feet of warning! Sure, yea, you've got the right of way... but that doesn't mean you have to try to cause an accident.

I'm kinda tempted to write the safety dept.. because I've seen him do it many times. Sure, it pisses me off... but it's also just dangerous.

I'm not so much worried about myself. He's just going to get someone hurt because he doesn't know what the hell he's doing. He's in a 30mph zone.

Well heck, I was going to start a thread asking for advice for a mucusy discharge I am having from my erectile area I probably picked up in a bungalow. Guess I won't know.

Here's a linly to a picture...

I was lying down in the 6th bedroom of my bungalow worrying about my erectile dysfunction while digging my nose to extract some of the stubborn mucus stuck way up there when I got a PM with a linly for free viagra WootWoot

My sentence formation is way better than Tigerstar's Flex

Why are you using 1.1? If your hardware only supports 1.1 you need new hardware.

Sounds familiar.

But it's time to give the user a new laptop. Come on. USB 1.1? That laptop must be 5 years old then!

That is crap. At least all the places I've worked at buy mostly the same things. We have a few odds and ends here and there but for the most part everybody gets the same model PC with a few alterations.
