If the rig you buy doesn't have them, you can order them and hand 'em yourself Available here

If it's a small load, I'll do it by hand, if you know what I mean

Cool. The Astros are my favorite NL team.

They must list any ballpark that a team played a "home game" at.

These are always difficult to judge. But crimes are prosecuted all the time with no impartial witnesses. Judges and juries have to judge who is more believable.

I was talking with an investor one time who basically looked over Forbe's Best 100 companies to work for, figured out why they were on the list to be certain they matched the ethics and morals he believed (not necessarily mine), and bought them. He said they outperformed the market every year. The theory is you take care of your employees and they take care of your customers. I never did any research to find out. I've also seen some smaller enviro-funds, no child labor, no overseas subs, etc.

My fav fast food down here is this one taquaria. They do everything in spanish. I just pretend it's a bad speaker connection and can understand everything

Is anyone here into socially responsible investing or checking their investements insofar as to the firms environmental, social, ethical practices?

I see the evil misquoter is back. very good. I have to learn how to do that.

Hint: Sometimes they are chocolate if you know what I mean

Don't even get me started with car dealers. I always annoy them with the "I don't care about monthly payments, what is the car going to cost?"

Sex Euphanisms I have to swipe the V-card, if you know what I mean . . .

wow, did you do that without a calculator?

A customer of mine modified his scanner to inlcude cell phones and fast food restuarants. It was hilarious. Illegal, but hilarious.

careful. You may wind up paying sales tax in two states when you transfer the registration. Check before hand.

Abby Jackson, wife of Spc. Robert "B.J." Jackson, 22, who lost his legs in an explosion last August while serving with the Iowa Army National Guard in Iraq, says her husband was denied access to an upscale nightclub in Clive on Friday night because his shoes weren't fancy enough. "Both of us told (an employee) that those were the only shoes he can wear with his prosthetic legs," Abby Jackson said Saturday. "I even told them he lost them in Iraq." But Tom Baldwin, owner of Crush, 2249 N.W. 86th St., says the couple did not explain to his bouncers that Jackson has to wear his tennis shoes with his prosthetic legs. The club, which calls itself a "casually swank joint," prohibits tennis shoes and hooded sweat shirts, Baldwin said. "We make exceptions for people all the time," Baldwin said. "There's no reason why we would deny entry to someone with prosthetic legs." Baldwin was one of four nightclub owners who in 2002 paid an undisclosed sum to Duane Pack and Michael Ward, two men who challenged the legality of bar dress codes. The owners of the three bars, two of which are defunct, had to formally apologize to blacks and pledge to treat patrons equally as part of the settlement for the class-action lawsuit brought against them. "It's certainly disappointing to see . . . after the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, this type of treatment not only to a person with a disability, but also a veteran," said Sen. Tom Harkin's spokewoman, Allison Dobson. Dobson said the senator feels the nightclub should consider changing its policy and apologize for the incident. Jill Fulitano-Avery, administrator of the Iowa Division of Persons with Disabilities said she has never heard of such a case. If the Jacksons' story is accurate, she said, "it sounds outrageous; people with disabilities have the same rights as anyone else." Fulitano-Avery, who is also the mother of a double amputee, said the shoes made for prosthetic legs are hard to find and very expensive. "I would not be surprised at all if he only had one pair." The night out with friends was one of the couple's first since Jackson began learning to walk again in early November. "I was upset," Jackson said Saturday from an airport on his way back to San Antonio where he's receiving medical treatment. "We all thought they were kidding," said Abby Jackson. "He had his cane with him and everything. I don't even think he knew how to react to it. . . . He was really upset." Jackson was wearing a pair of black suede Nike tennis shoes, specially inclined to fit his prosthetics. "They're actually pretty dressy," Abby Jackson said. "He wanted to pick a pair of shoes that he could wear with everything." "It was very insulting," said Brandon Beveridge, a close childhood friend of Jackson's who, along with his wife, Stephanie, was out with the couple. "B.J. pulled up his pants to show them; I remember seeing the steel," he said. Abby Jackson said the couple and their friends went to the Sports Palace and Nightclub in Des Moines after leaving Crush. "Everybody recognized him. They gave him a T-shirt and bought him a drink on the house," she said. "They told him to come back any time. That made it a little bit easier for him." The Jacksons said they have no desire to return to Crush. "A guy goes to war and loses his legs, and this is the thanks he gets," Abby Jackson said. She also said she had considered talking to an attorney about what happened. Des Moines lawyer Roxanne Conlin said the couple has a case if they choose to pursue it. "There is simply no excuse for this," said Conlin, who has represented numerous cases of discrimination in the past. "This violates both state and federal law in my opinion. Iowa law forbids discrimination on the basis of disability in public accommodations."

Police believe teenage pranksters are hacking into the wireless frequency of a US Burger King drive-through speaker to tell potential customers they are too fat for fast food. Policeman Gerry Scherlink said the pranksters told one customer who had just placed an order: "You don't need a couple of Whoppers. You are too fat. Pull ahead." The offenders are reportedly tapping into the wireless frequency at the restaurant in Troy, Michigan. Police believe the culprits are watching and broadcasting from close range. Officer Scherlinck said the men are telling customers who order a Coca-Cola that, "We don't have Coke." And when the customer asks what they do have, the hacker would say: "We don't have anything. Pull ahead." But what has managers concerned is the profanity the hackers are using, according to police. A drive-through customer has told police if he had children with him in the car and someone used profanity, he would have been upset. Burger King franchise owner Tony Versace issued the following statement in response to the incidents: "We apologise to our customers who've been insulted by the use of this drive-through speaker." Management at the fast-food restaurant are reportedly trying to change the radio frequency used for the speakers, reports Local 4.

Another idea. If you have a dozen friends who are also thinking of investing, create an investment club, do some research and basically create your own mutual fund. You will learn a lot, possibly make a little money, and probably not make any gigantic blunders.

The official Texas Cadillac is a Suburban, but an Escalade is permissable. An Eldorado can be substituted if it has been customized for Texas

I'm not sure how to do 20, how about 69?

Often more so than non sluts because they put themselves in positions to be raped. If you decide that jogging down Lake Street under the El tracks is a great idea at 1:00 am you may be the victim of more crimes than someone that doesn't. That doesn't make the crimes any less real. But it does stop the Court of Public Opinion from having much sympathy for you. There are some problems in this area in judging guilt and innocence. If two people are equally drunk, the man could still be found guilty of rape. The female has the claim of being too drunk to say no, the man does not have that defense.

it would be a crime to
