I wish to state that I fully agree with my sissie Lynne's earlier inflammatory thread

[LostinVA]

I wasn't able to post earlier today, but I wanted to let her know I supported her.

[Orrex]

1. She kicked ass in that thread

And elsewhere, to be sure, but especially in that thread.

:woohoo:

[LostinVA]

2. I adore her -- even if she's Pro Toll

[LynneSin]

4. Not only did I have fun in that thread but....

I probably added a new key word to the list that includes Olive Garden, Fried Chicken, public breastfeeding, pitbulls and douchebags.

(that would be receipts)

[Ellen Forradalom]

8. Whatever became of YAKS?

Yaks used to be Lounge mainstay. And thongs too. How fickle we are.

[LynneSin]

15. I miss the yaks

:cry:

Those were the days

[Ellen Forradalom]

16. BRING BACK THE YAKS!

[redwitch]

58. There's a pancake on your head.

How can I trust ANYTHING you have to say?

[LynneSin]

3. Awww sweetie - thank you

Just 8 days until the big day - you getting nervous? I can barely sleep but that's because my settlement is on the 14th.

[LostinVA]

5. The morning of my house closing I craved a cigarette for the first time in almost 10 years

It's nerve-wracking.

And, yes, I'm nervous.

[LynneSin]

6. I got the big move-in celebration all planned

I have a bottle of prosecco and bring my boom box so I can listen to a pre-determined set of songs that will represent that great day. I'm still mentally determining that list but I'll probably be making a mixed tape

[madinmaryland]

7. What is prosecco?

[LostinVA]

10. It's an Italian sparkling wine

It's cheaper than Champagne and tastes better.

[madinmaryland]

13. Is it like Asti or just plain sweet?

[LostinVA]

14. It's not like Asti -- it's good

BTW, if you still drive up to CT frequently, I know how you can avoid a lot of tolls in NJ.

[LynneSin]

17. I know how to avoid them in Delaware but who listens to me

:shrug:

[LostinVA]

18. Actually, I just started avoiding Delaware

All it cost me was $0.75 to get into PA heading south and nothing getting into NJ (or in NJ).

[madinmaryland]

20. pfft!

[madinmaryland]

19. I prefer dry or brut champagne. It's been a while since I had some DP!

I settle for Corbel or the like.

I don't drive to CT much anymore, though the way I go there takes me through Harrisburg across i-78 to i-278 and over the tappan zee. timewise its about the same as going straight up through nj over the njtpke.

I did live in NJ a few years ago (s.orange)

[LynneSin]

22. I won't drink Korbel - they misuse the term 'champagne'

You can only call champagne those sparkling wines made in the Champagne region of France

[LostinVA]

25. You're right

However, I still drink Korbel. Blame Haruka!

She bought a bottle of Korbel home when I got my job in NJ, and her Guido cousin bought us Korbel, as part of our wedding shower gift.

[LynneSin]

26. A friend already gave me a bottle for house warming - I'll use it as a mixer

I love the Italian stuff

And when did I buy you a bottle of Korbel?

[LostinVA]

32. Whoops -- I edited it

At first I was like, "Wait, Lynne's not Haruka's Guido cousin." Then, I looked at what I wrote and realized I wrote "you," instead of "she."

[LynneSin]

35. I need to get some sleep but I can' fall asleep

And I've even had 2 tylenol pm

:cry:

[LostinVA]

37. I'm the same way -- I need to sleep

I keep trying to get Haruka to rub my feet, but she won't.

:cry:

[madinmaryland]

27. Well they do, but I can afford it. I can't have Moet all of the time.

Though the best bottle I ever had were with some friends back in CT who had a bottle of 76 Rose Dom Perignon. Between four of us, that was the best buzz I ever had!!1!

[LynneSin]

33. BTW prosecco is not that expensive

Try that or try Cava (that's spanish sparkling wine) Both are quite excellent!

[LostinVA]

23. Ah okay -- that's the way I was going to tell you to go

South Orange is about 20 minutes away from where I am.

[LynneSin]

24. If you won't drive thru delaware when are you ever going to see my new house

:cry:

[LostinVA]

28. I'll do it for you, sissie -- because I wouldn't have to drive too far into Delaware

Wait, what am I saying? I can drive through the state in 15 minutes, provided I don't get stuck in traffic at the toll plazas.

[LynneSin]

30. BITCH!!!

:D

:pals:

[LostinVA]

34. Yep

:pals:

[madinmaryland]

29. They won't let me through the DE toll booths.

:cry:

[LynneSin]

31. Oh goodie - my evil sinsiter plot to keep Marylanders out of our state is finally working

:eyes:

[madinmaryland]

36. WTF!!1!! I have to go see my great senator from the state of CT and you wont let me through!

:grr:



:wtf:

[LostinVA]

38. It's not even your state

You're from Pennsyltucky!

[LynneSin]

44. Too many people in Pennsylvania

Much better ratio of citizens to US Senator here in Delaware

[madinmaryland]

40. Unfortunately bad memories from NJ.

First night I moved there my car got stolen. :grr:

At least it was an easy train ride into the city.

[philosophie_en_rose]

9. I concur.

People were being silly about it, but Lynne rocks.

:woohoo:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

11. I need to see your receipt proving that.

:P

[LostinVA]

12. I'm not showing you my fucking receipt, you facist pig

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. Be that way, douchebag.

[jakefrep]

39. I agree as well

To compare that guy at Circuit City to Rosa Parks is a grave insult to Mrs. Parks.

[LostinVA]

41. And people are donating to his legal defense fund!

Talk about suckers.

[jakefrep]

46. That's just mindblowing

Apparently, businesses that take small measures against shoplifiting are fascist.

[Danger Mouse]

49. So, you've been drinking the kool-aid huh?? You must be one of the SHEEPLE!!

NEVEER G IVE UP OWR RITES!!!1

[jakefrep]

50. Hey, that's better than bein' one of them good Germans!

[Danger Mouse]

51. Hahah. the OP actually said 'sheeple' in their reply to me.

:eyes:
sometimes the jokes write themselves.

[Danger Mouse]

42. What happened?

I am curious.

[LynneSin]

43. If you go into GD make sure you have your receipt handy

Here's the Reader's Digest condensed version.

Some guy visits his family and they stop by Circuit City so he can buy a birthday present for his niece. On the way out of the store a clerk working the desk by the front store asks to see this guy's receipt but the guy thinks this is some violation of the rights.

Clerk calls managers and manager & clerk follow this guy out to the guys car (where is family including the niece are waiting). Manager says something about detaining, guy says he's calling the police, police shows up and ask for IDs and yada yada yada the guy is arrested.

RamboLiberal googled the guy's name and found out this guy as a boatload of cash but still has a paypal account set up while he solicits donations from a few of us bleeding heart liberals who feels our constitutional rights are being repressed by a practiced routinely done at stores since probably back in the early 90s

I could be right, I could be wrong - but that's about the whole story

[Danger Mouse]

47. And people are defending this douchebag?

I can't even laugh at that. it's too pathetic.

[LostinVA]

45. Some idiot got himself arrested over refusing to show his reciept at Circuit City

Now the cops may or may not have been out of line, but the customer was the one who caused the fiasco.

[Danger Mouse]

48. Cops out of line? Sure. But the guy is still an idiot.

I'm sure the trogs in GD loved it and are sreaming 'FIGHT THE MAN! WAY TO SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER!!!'
Seriously, wtf. It's just a damn receipt.

[grasswire]

52. yeah, it was just a box of tea, too

http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=65243&rendTypeId=4

[Danger Mouse]

53. I am going to take a giant shit on a sidewalk. When the cops hastle me about it...

i'll scream about my civil liberties being infringed because they're trying to prevent me from taking a giant shit on the sidewalk. how much you want to bet some clowns will be on here comparing me to rosa parks?

[LynneSin]

54. AMEN

Taxations without representation vs. the hassle of having to show your damn receipt when you leave Circuit City.

I hardly think there is a comparison between the 2.

[LostinVA]

55. Or my latest favorite

Saying "disgruntled student" is the same as putting down gays, blacks, women et cetera.

[Debi]

56. Will you support me too??

In the financial sense I mean..:P

[LostinVA]

57. In the financial sense?

Are you insane?

I'm poor.

[Debi]

61. Damn

I thought I was about to get in good x(

[madinmaryland]

59. This thread is still alive??

:wtf:

[LostinVA]

60. Blame Lynne

She kicked it.

I was like, "WTF?" when I saw it, too.

[LynneSin]

62. I have to tell you about how I almost pissed my panties at Macy's today

So today is their big one day sale and I'm going to town in housewares (after I hook up with some new clothes). I've got all this kitchenware stuff that is plastic and you know how plastic stuff gets after years of dishwasher abuse. I'm getting rid of all that scummy stuff and got all this great stainless steel mixing bowls, utensils, pyrex, new knife set - I went crazy (and for as much stuff that I got my bill was still less than $125.

So anyhow, with all these boxes PLUS my stop at Teavana and clothing department, I needed help getting my housewares stuff down to the car. Sucks that housewares is on 2nd floor and Macy's doesn't have shopping carts. But they do have a employee that shuffles purchases from 2nd floor down to customer pickup. Works for me - nice service.

So I'm patiently waiting and when it's my turn the guy manning customer pickup asks for my receipt.

I just about pissed my panties from laughing so hard.

:rofl:

[LostinVA]

63. Fucking commie reciept checkers

I hope you got yourself arrested protecting your civil liberties.

[LynneSin]

64. If I got arrested for anything it would probably be public urination

fortunately I was able to hold it in long enough to find a restroom

:hurts:

[madinmaryland]

65. Watch out for those goddamn squirrels. They'll get you every time...
