Damn straight, man. I've always wanted to do that. I figure if I were a
millionaire, I could hook that up. Chicks dig guys with money.

Well, the type that double up on a guy like me.

and so another thread falls victim to offtopic conversation.

Who has my stapler.

The title asked a question, I gave a serious answer

"I believe you'd get your ass kicked for saying something like that."

Sibling · 01-12-2007, 06:21 PM

I can't remember that movie well enough anymore. I guess I have to watch it again.

Kinda sad really..........maybe income tax is bullshit and we should all stop paying it.

We would have a major freakin surplus if we killed off everyone over the age of 65.

Should we begin doing that in 36 years? Starting with you?

malvolio · 01-13-2007, 05:44 PM

if only you could opt out of social security the way you can with pre-approved credit card offers.

coronadozx · 01-13-2007, 06:04 PM

OP, somehow i don't think you will be getting any serious responses anytime soon!

i am not sure where all that money should go, but i am sure every school district in the country could benefit from a much needed increase in funding. the public school system, as a whole, in america is horrible.

Like they really release where they spend all our money.
