the 2014 trivial drivel thread

I hope someone is up posting under the influence tonight or in the wee hours.

Catching an overnight Greyhound in a couple of hours and boozing it up here beforehand (cabbing to the station, I swear); portable Wi-Fi is all charged up.

Where the hell is aussie anyway? She's always a fun buzz, even if she is bigoted against barefoot Hindi-speaking male Muslim security guards in the tax-funded governmental health-related workplace.

I'll probably be here posting in the wee hours but sober. I went to see Guardians of the Galaxy earlier tonight and I'm still feeling wide awake. Might even do some late night cleaning in preparation for relatives coming on Sunday since I'm going to our town's local Pumpkinpalooza and then to a Five Finger Death Punch concert on Saturday.

To do what, creep the fuck out of all the children?

That sounds fun, Clang.

The only thing that could top it is if the FFDP concert tickets were free, courtesy of the local radio station call-in giveaway contest.

Has the station forgiven you and your brother for the roaming movie theater scam yet?

Yep free front row tickets courtesy of one of the local radio stations.

Roaming movie theater scam? I think you mean the "scam" where my brother tried to sell extra free Man of Steel tickets in front of the theater and they made the empty threat to snitch on us to the radio station.

A Canadian tried to smuggle 50 turtles across the border in his underwear.

I use online bill pay. Somebody sent PG&E $26,337 out of our account. Since I pay the bills I thought for sure it was me. Granted, the system let's you review twice before you hit "finish" but absent any other explanation, I thought I'd made a big, fat typo. And we're having a hell of a time getting the money back quickly; it's in limbo land where it was paid but PG&E doesn't exactly have it yet. If they have to send it back it could take 2-3 weeks.

Anyway, I was researching it last night and that check was input to be paid 9/18. I was already out of town then and I sure as shit haven't stopped to pay bills on the road.

I don't think my stupid husband believes me because there is no good explanation but I didn't fucking issue that check.

I'm finding that hilariously silly for some reason. But I bet there was 51 in there.

I misunderstood; thought the movie guy had gotten you banned from the radio station contests.

I bet "your brother" jaywalked in the cinema parking lot in the process of attempting to scalp those non-transferable tickets, lawbreaker.

You're lucky you're not in jail for a long time -- 3 strikes and all.

Shoot, now you've got me laughing.

I can just see the turtle-smuggler finally being released by border control with a fine and 50 less turtles.............laughing like crazy as his toe touches US soil whilst the only turtle that he really cared about peaks his wrinkled little head out of the secret hiding place (wearing a shit-eating grin, of course).

There are several people here at the Greyhound transfer station who I suspect could be smuggling something in body cavities.

Thing 1 had his wisdom teeth out this afternoon. He's home now and I'm going to pick up his scripts. Making a stop at Arby's because I'm STARVING and I don't want to eat in front of him. I could chew my own arm off at this point. They gave him his teeth in a little plastic pouch.

[Duchess]

It would be fun to tell him to put them under his pillow and then when he's all drugged up and passed out you could put the keys to a new car/truck in their place.

Does he get to drive a little more now, Ramsey?

no jaywalking, the movie theater was inside the mall. Someone snitched to the theater manager. Anyway if it was a crime, it was a petty one. Murders need to be reported, not unemployed people trying to make a dishonest? buck.

You could at least get him a shake, you fat shit.

Lol yeah. When my brother got teeth removed I bought him half a small roasted chicken.

He does. And I still have anxiety. He should be taking his road test here in a few weeks. He's getting a car for his 18^th birthday in December. A birthday/Christmas/graduation present.

That was really odd. I was driving somewhere and pulled in to a parking lot to check directions. Several network options to join popped up including one that said FBI SURVEILLANCE VAN. WTH? It didn't even show a little lock next to it.

[Duchess]

FBI SURVEILLANCE VAN.

That's what my wifi is named.

[username]

No way!!! OMG, I wish I'd thought to do that...love it!!!
