Why is that funny?

Random Thought:

Is it just me or are trash bags getting weaker and weaker? My garbage isn't getting any stronger, that's for sure.
Ever since I started using Glad Force Flex I haven't looked back. Any non-flex bags are going to disappoint once you make the leap.

Sounds like a trip to Sam's Club is in order then. I just hate wasting money on wrapping my garbage, but yesterday a bag broke as soon as I took it our of the wastebasket, wimpy style.

I may or may have not made futile insults directed at Glad and their garbage bags. I'll take your advice, and use the force (can't believe you didn't type something similar).

Asking "who doesn't smoke weed" on a retro gaming forum seems like it is going to get a LOT of responses.

Were you under the impression that most folks DO smoke here Harper? Flex was the ONLY person that mentioned it.

Maybe instead we should fine out who DOES smoke weed, since it is the holiday and all.

But that might be against forum rules, and I know some people really dislike stoners... so maybe calling them all out would not be such a great idea.

I personally don't care if you all know though :wink:

My weed smoking days ended in High School, have barely touched the stuff since. I don't have anything against it or the people that indulge though.

I have the same thing going on. When my gf gets high and is around me it's difficult to resist the urge to decorate the wall with my brain.

Thats weird, my girl and I always smoke together, and I have never had that issue.

Then again, we've been together for 7 years. Anything she could have done to annoy me, she's done hundreds of times now.

Is it maybe because your guy's gfs are getting high and you are not? That would probably drive me crazy too.

Well, I just got home with beer, bounty, bananas, and bags (Force Flex).

It was just over $11.00 for 65 bags, so dumb math off the bat tells me I paid less than $0.20 a bag, which I'm fine with. Economies of scale certainly exists in garbage bag sales as the going price for 30 bags was a bit over $8.00.

I've never been so excited about garbage before.

It's not that now "we" know, it's now that anyone with Internet access knows. Admitting to illegal activity over the internet is dumb. Sure, the feds and local police dpt.'s aren't scanning for your Internet activity, but for some reason you get caught doing something illegal, your posts can condemn you even if you mask your ip. It's some of the most damning evidence, as unless you can prove you've been hacked or someone logged in as you and knows all your passwords, every keystroke is recorded.

Tracking online activity is becoming, if not already is, the number one way to prove someone's character in court. An amusing pseudonym and silly avatar won't clear your name.

Just a word of advice from someone who is friends with a few lawyers: Think before you post.

likewise. most of my high school friends did, but i always say no to it. there is no reason for me to try it either even if it's just for fun...which i don't' find any in it. rather be playing video games and basketball. now that's fun. :)
