Is that connected to the song? lol

Yes. You know...riding around on nina* with a girl named Keisha, that sort of thing.




*I have no idea what that actually is.

Pretty sure these were African killer bees, but I'm not sure

Or a wasp/hornet mixed breed

Or a dog

No, African bees haven't spread this far north and I don't think they ever will as the winters are too cold. You obviously just got to close and the guards got agitated.

In other news, we have had the same pigeon chilling on our porch the last 3 days.



They don't actually carry diseases, right?

Re: Off Topic 2012

Funny story happened earlier this morning. I went into a Tim Hortons coffee shop with my wife and son. This particular Tim's is is merely a 2 minute walk away from my old high school. Needless to say this particular Tim Horton's is always packed with High School kids all the time. I get in line and my wife and son go get a table. THEN, this high school girl comes over to me and tries to hit on me in a line up full of people. She touches my arm and says, "How come I haven't seen your handsome face around school before?" She kind of took me off guard. I chuckled and looked around and saw a gang of her friends watching in anticipation. I looked at my wife but she hadn't seen it. I thought for a second and then said. "You wouldn't have seen me. I haven't been to that school since 1996!" I stretched out my arm in my family's direction and said, 'Would you like to meet my wife and son?" Her face went completely white and started fumbling her words and saying sorry and whatnot. She walked back over to her group of friends who were laughing their butts off! She immediately left. I laughed, the people in the line up laughed it was great. Afterwards I told my wife what happened and she laughed as hard as I did.

Was she fairly attractive? If she was I'm amazed that a young, good looking female actually approached you in public.

You must live in the South, or in Europe or something lol. Because over here on the East Coast most of the younger, attractive women are either shy, or stuck up conceited.. Sometimes I feel you need an arrest warrant just to get them to talk to you.

I thought he did live in England or somewhere in Europe. Maybe just the whole Liverpool thing is throwing me off.

P.S. that whole HAM and YOLO situation going on a few posts back had me cracking up. Those expressions piss me off as well.

Pretty sure Tim Hortons are in Canada, aren't they?

Re: Off Topic 2012

Hmmm, possible job opportunity available. In the marketing business (imprinting company... they do imprints on everything from t-shirts to cars to signage). I don't have any marketing experience, and that's not what I'm going to school for, but I likely have an inside track as my fiance's boss uses this company a lot and they've become good friends with the guy who is in the position to hire new people.

I'm finally making decent money as a server after years of slaving for crappy paychecks in a pizza shop, so I'm not exactly desperate to change jobs or add hours somewhere else. But if there's a good opportunity out there...

They are in New York and Ohio as well.

What kind of ******* bee makes a nest IN THE GROUND and then gets mad at me and stings me twice when I walk near if with 8 bottles of diet coke in my hands???? **** YOU BEES

Yellow Jackets also nest in the ground. I ran over a nest, while riding the four wheeler once.. came back through and got stung four times

Bumble bees make their nests in the ground. Along with a few species of hornets and wasps.

Watson, KRS-One has the answer to every question. Listen to BDP and that should take care of the pigeon problem one way or another.

Re: Off Topic 2012

So last Thursday I got a job running the warehouse of the company my dad has worked at for many years. Lot's of paperwork for shipping and receiving parts and stuff, the occasional parts run to the service technicians in the field, sometimes taking machines to or picking them up from customers (the company distributes and services copiers/faxers/printers). I started Friday working with the current guy running the warehouse (his last day is tomorrow).

Today I learned that not only are most of the machines priced anywhere from $10,000-$25,000 each and the forklift a relic from WW1, but there is a machine in a crate in the back of the warehouse which likely costs several million dollars...

I'm not sure I like working around such expensive machinery...

Re: Off Topic 2012

Meh......most equipment in a regular store cost just as much.......So really no different. The only difference is you are more aware of the price now. If you look at it that way, you will be more at ease.
