Not so much a crime as a prank, but when I was at Queens, some of the engineering students dismantled all the bleachers at the camogie pitch and reassembled them facing away from the field. In one night.

In my late teens or early 20s, cant remember exactly. My first car was a 1970s Dodge Dart, that was in 87 or 88, not sure. But anyway, my friend and I decided to drive it around our old High School running track around the football field. But not only that, there was (don't know what it is called) but a space between hallways outdoors between sections of the school consisting of mere grass. I took my Dart into that section and did doughnuts tearing up the grass. Pretty sure the groundskeepers were pissed.

That was only the beginning. During home coming they make a parade float that looked like a cake and totally disrupted the ceremonies. A lot of property damage occurred. Some of the military guard had dislocated ankles.

There was a TV show called America's Dumbest Criminals.  My kids watched it.  They liked Danny Partridge and hated Tonya Harding.  Speaking of dumb criminals.

Yes. But looking back at him now, knowing his love of fossil fuel burning gas hogs. I think some people cannot separate art from pragmatism. I used to be in to pewter art figurines as a kid because my parents were into them. Now knowing that contained lead most of the time, I cannot stick up for the ingredients. Jay is still stuck on the past. I can appreciate the art of any car, but that is like appreciating Joe Camel as artwork for tobacco. 

My favorite car of all time is the teardrop split back window Corvette. I love the shape and the lines, but that will never change the fact that big oil and the auto industry lied and is still lying about the damage their products have done for the past century.

I just don’t think the story is true. Calm down.

An aside, when paying my bills over the phone, often it is standard operating procedure for the employee to end the call with "Is there anything else I can help you with". I love ending those calls with, "Can you get me a date with Angelina Jolie?".  

I've gotten the response once, "That is above my pay grade".

This just isn't funny, no matter how many times you share it.

Really? Not sure why you are objecting. Is it wrong to find the opposite sex attractive? If a female called the same call center and asked for a date for Brad Pitt, would you argue the same?

Could you get a date with Brad?

Sexism isn't about denying humans exist. I think it is perfectly natural for both women and men to look at the other and want sexual contact. You cannot get on a polygraph yourself. and say you are a sexual, in that you have never looked at even the same sex, and said to yourself " I like that". 

We all like different things, gay, bi, trans or hetero. I am not a secret fundie, so please spare me.

Oh fuck me runnin'. My first car was a '74 Dodge Dart. It had been an Orkin car in a previous life. The extras on it were the seatbelts I'm pretty sure. But dad thought it was a good deal and that's what I got.

Bits and pieces are constantly playing. Can I but some pot from you?
