I leave MB for a month and get Rick Rolled on the first post when I return. :laughing:

So much for the possibility of overpriced, tattered, blood stained denim topped off with the fading stench of death.

I wish I'd seen it deliver the punch to the victim's daughter's face.

Prince and Universal Music have spent an obscene amount of money keeping this and 200 other harmless family home movie clips in the court system for the last 9 years.
A 29-second fuzzy video of a toddler learning to dance with 20 seconds of a Prince song playing from a speaker in the room is, according to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a violation of copyright law.

9 years in, and Fair Use is still on the line.

The Batlord 07-13-2015 01:35 AM

**** US copyright law.

Prince is a stickler for keeping his music off of the free streaming sites. Try finding Purple Rain on YouTube.

Chula Vista 07-13-2015 10:28 AM

Dude's OCD is gonna end up biting him in the ass. Probably already has.

Thanks.

Man Proudly "Open Carrying" New Pistol Is Robbed Of It At - Wait For It - Gunpoint

....just shaking my head...lmao

Quote:

...the victim, William Coleman III, was displaying his brand-new Walther P22 handgun to his cousin at about 2 A.M. when he was approached by another man wearing flip-flops and sweat pants, who asked for a cigarette. After displaying his own weapon in his waistband, he told Coleman;
“I like your gun. Give it to me.”
Coleman relinquished the weapon and the assailant fled on foot. In, you know, those flip-flops.
Open carry goes into effect here in Texas in January, I have no doubt we'll be seeing tons of moronic stuff like this.

I'm frankly shocked that Texans aren't already allowed to brandish Uzis in public.

It also has Miami and Disney World.

NJ had a bad rep before Jersey Shore.. It's always associated with the ****ty industrial section in the north east near NY, but I love living here. There are a bunch of jerkoff NYers and people from Exo's area though.
