G'damn this is a long way from music. And more proof that women are very catty
Anyway that Zombie Girl stuff was cool, Reminded me of old White Zombie stuff kinda.
As for cars here's one my old ones
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge convertible. I LOVED that car, then I got married and my wife
said the car or me. I sold the car should of sold the wife, but she wasn't worth that much.
We are surprisingly cool with it... Hell, we sometimes wear each other's deodorant when the books are too deeply in the red (and no, I have no qualms about walking around smelling like Impulse when the alternative is smelling like shit).
Right fully understand.
I had to swipe bros a few times when I was out, and it was a few days until payday. Hey, I don't mind smelling like Old Spice deodorant and baby powder.
Ya know... child support, I don't know for 100% sure how true it is, but I think if you're delinquent on three CSP payments, they send the guys with the pretty bracelets after you.
I'm glad you said that, because I'm sick and tired of listening to how everyone in America was trying out for the role of Rambo -- OF COURSE some people wouldn't want to go, and that's fine.
No, I don't think anyone was running Rambo and guns blazing to fight the Germans or the like. Some people defected to Canada to dodge the draft, or at least that's what it says in the history books.
My Grandpa is one of those who’s defending the homefront from the Japanese. Though they were kinda hid up on the mountains because most of the country were occupied by the enemy by that time. They resulted in guerilla tactics ambushing all the Japanese that’s closing in their area. Their biggest advantage is they know the whole mountain range since they were kids. He said that most of the ones that they killed were the ones caught on the traps they set like the ones that they were using to hunt for wild boars.
You know prnzo right? The guy who posts his EDM compositions on the forum. He has this eccentric way of typing. He have on a DM chat because I told him I’m a bit of music lover. Oh boy his convo messages are a treat for the eyes.
There’s this instance that I’ll probably remember as long as I live. One time I have to buy 2 different kinds of those for Mom add little sister. There’s this dude in front of me who’s a minor probably a year or two older but I know we’re on the same age bracket. He bought 2 packs of “Trojan”. The lady on the counter and the one on the next were giggling as she is punching in that “item”. As the guy left the other lady yelled “go get ‘em boy”. As when my turn comes the lady ask why two and if im not sure what I should buy. I said that it was for 2 different person. Lady said “fuck you! Are you kidding me? You have 2 girlfriends? I was stunned and couldn’t say anything. And all eyes are on me. When get the items and the receipt I walk very fast towards the door. I was blushing as heck back then.
No, was about Ozzy passing. They called him "The Blizzard of Oz"

But don't you have to calculate them yourself and stuff like that? Or is that just Hollywood BS? I'm so bad at math, I fear I'd be jailed for incompetence rather than malice.
Ya know... child support, I don't know for 100% sure how true it is, but I think if you're delinquent on three CSP payments, they send the guys with the pretty bracelets after you.
As they should! Here, they set up random checks on places like airports and stadiums -- if you are trying to get in while flagged, they jail your ass. And it's great.
No, I don't think anyone was running Rambo and guns blazing to fight the Germans or the like. Some people defected to Canada to dodge the draft, or at least that's what it says in the history books.
Never had someone ask me that.
I don't suppose most people would blink twice at a girl having a guy's deodorant smell on her and just assume "Oh, the smell of the morning after"
I do know Bro has been asked that because he was laughing about it not too long ago. Apparently, he was half asleep, grabbed Amanda's deodorant as he was late to work, and rushed out the door. He told us a guy asked him more or less that, and he told the guy
And I Quote
"Nah, I just like to be reminded of where I'm putting my schlong after work, not smell like I got c**k on my breath like you asshat."
But don't you have to calculate them yourself and stuff like that? Or is that just Hollywood BS? I'm so bad at math, I fear I'd be jailed for incompetence rather than malice.
You can, if you're good at math. I like you.. am not.
You can have income tax places do it for you professionally for a percentage. Not too bad because they specialize in getting you the most cash back, and if there's a screw-up, it's on them, not you.
As they should! Here, they set up random checks on places like airports and stadiums -- if you are trying to get in while flagged, they jail your ass. And it's great.
I know, though, that they will straight-up arrest your ass at work or at a restaurant if they catch you tho. I do remember seeing on the news that they were sending "You won a free car" or something like that, years ago mind you. Basically, they were scamming people who where hiding from the Law, that owed over $3,000 in back child support.
When they showed up to claim their free car or whatever it was, they showed their IDs to confirm it was who it was supposed to be, and they were given the not so awesome heavy metal bracelets.
I think that was ingenious on the Police's part. :D
Of course, one thing for sure... Americans, at least back then, weren't cowards.
people were volunteering of course, like my grandfather and his brother, but not the rambo thing.
And yeah, propaganda, if done right, is a hell of a thing. Just look at any countries during the WWII era... some of it was downright malevolent in how diabolical and brainwashing it is.
Well, they both made it back alive. I never really met Grandpa's brother, just a handful of times, but not enough to remember much about him. He lived a long way from us.
But I know Grandpa didn't like to talk about what went on during World War II, and you didn't ask. If he wanted to talk about something, you shut your trap and listened because it was rare for him to talk about it.
Also Waffles as to the Tax's
Forgot: When you go to an income tax place, they do the filing for you. You have to keep receipts for everything. For example, if it's a business expense like PC parts for me, you can deduct them as such. Basically, just keep all your receipts, write on the back of them what they were for, and turn them in with your other papers to the income tax place. They handle the rest.
And this is basically what you need to have yearly for tax purposes — just replace the year with the current one.
1. Personal Information (Required for All)
Social Security Numbers (SSN) or ITIN: For yourself, spouse, and any dependents.
Birth Dates: For all individuals listed on the return.
Bank Account/Routing Numbers: For direct deposit of refunds.
Last Year’s Tax Return: A copy of your 2024 return can help with filing.
Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN): If the IRS issued you one.
1099-R (Retirement): For pensions, annuities, or IRA distributions.
1099-G (Unemployment/State Tax Refund): For unemployment compensation or state tax refunds.
Self-Employment/Gig Economy: 1099-NEC, 1099-K, or records of income from side jobs.
Other Income: W-2G (gambling winnings), Schedule K-1 (partnerships), jury duty records, or prizes.
3. Personal Tax Deductions (Write-offs)
If you itemize deductions on Schedule A instead of taking the standard deduction, you need the following:
Mortgage Interest: Form 1098.
Property Taxes: Records of real estate and personal property taxes paid.
Charitable Donations: Receipts for cash donations (canceled checks, credit card statements) and non-cash donations.
Medical/Dental Expenses: Bills for doctors, dentists, and hospitals, including mileage logs for medical travel (only deductible if they exceed 7.5% of your AGI).
State and Local Taxes (SALT): Records of state/local income taxes or sales tax paid.
Casualty/Theft Losses: Records for losses in federal disaster areas.
4. Special Tax Credits and Deductions
Childcare/Dependent Care: Receipts and the provider's Tax ID (SSN or EIN).
Education Expenses: Form 1098-T (tuition) and 1098-E (student loan interest).
Retirement Contributions: 5498 forms (IRA/HSA).
Energy-Efficient Home Improvements: Receipts for solar panels, heat pumps, etc..
5. New 2025 Tax Year Deductions (Filed in 2026)
According to 2025 updates, new deductions are claimed on Schedule 1-A:
No Tax on Tips/Overtime: Documentation of tip income and overtime pay.
Car Loan Interest Deduction: Interest paid on qualified vehicle loans.
Senior Deduction: For individuals 65 or older.
Summary of What to Keep
Keep for 3 years: All receipts, 1099s, W-2s, and records that support your tax return.
Keep for 7 years: If you file a claim for a loss from worthless securities or bad debt.
Somehow I’m envious of that, because tax rebates only exists on theory here not reality.
They said that you’re getting a rebate if you paid “too much” but it never happened as far as I’m aware of if you’re talking about my side of the globe.
Though I’m not complaining though. We have this bracketing system when it comes to paying taxes. I belong to the lowest income bracket which means I pay about $20 a year max to nothing at all depending on how much I earned.
But I know Grandpa didn't like to talk about what went on during World War II, and you didn't ask. If he wanted to talk about something, you shut your trap and listened because it was rare for him to talk about it.
It’s the nicest way of putting it. He said that a day without any “random encounters” is the greatest blessing they could ever receive from the heavens.
And he’s not even religious but hearing him saying that means it was a hellish way to live.
Ya, and I am sure someone could at the moment.
Still it did Derail fairly quickly but it's been a interesting Read so far on both and then all three sides.
No, see... income tax places here have to adhere to federal law. If they get caught trying to skew or steal, it's a felony. So.. most, if not all, are on the up and up and are required to show papers accounting for every dollar.
The IRS will check into them, since that is Still Goverment owned Money.
The U.S. federal government doesn't like people stealing money from others. They hate competition. ;)~

Right, see here. People on welfare, Social Security, Social Security Income, don't pay taxes like other people. Not counting day to day purchases, state and sales taxes still apply, but they don't pay yearly taxes like on land, cars, houses, etc.
However, they also can't get tax refunds because of this. Which is only fair...
you don't pay in, you shouldn't get a payout. I'm not harping on, like, actually disabled people who really need it, that's fine and well.
I don't mind helping them with my taxes. It's the people who pop out 15 kids to get more welfare and food stamps.. only reason they have those kids, and it's not right.
Again, not blaming the kids... they absolutely should be helped, not the deadbeat parent.
It’s the nicest way of putting it. He said that a day without any “random encounters” is the greatest blessing they could ever receive from the heavens.
And he’s not even religious but hearing him saying that means it was a hellish way to live.
Again, Grandpa didn't talk about it much. He said he'd rather not relive what he saw. However, one time, he out of the blue told me something. We were sitting on his porch in the fall. I had gone over to see him and my grandmother I was around 24 at the time. He, my grandmother, and I had dinner, and he kind of just looked off, cleared his throat, and said:
"You know, this reminds me of Germany. My three fellow soldiers and I found and took a truck full of German guns, ammo, and explosives. We hotwired and stole it, then took off like bats out of hell. The Germans almost caught up to us, and I knew that if I stopped or slowed down, they would either kill us or blow the truck up in the middle of a civilian town."
He paused for a moment, looked down, and wiped a tear from his eye.
"I didn't even see him, a little boy maybe 10 and his friends playing with a ball.
It bounced out into the road, and I couldn't have stopped in time if I had tried. We went on, but I will never forget that little boy. To this day, I regret that more than anything else I had to do there"
He never spoke of it again, nor did I press him. But I could tell it hurt him down to his very soul. So, no, I never pressed him to tell me about World War II, for reasons like that.
I do know Bro has been asked that because he was laughing about it not too long ago. Apparently, he was half asleep, grabbed Amanda's deodorant as he was late to work, and rushed out the door. He told us a guy asked him more or less that, and he told the guy

Oh, thank FUCK there's another option. I'm sure I'd still fumble it somewhere down the line (I lose receipts ALL THE TIME), but this is looking promising.
I do remember seeing on the news that they were sending "You won a free car" or something like that, years ago mind you. Basically, they were scamming people who where hiding from the Law, that owed over $3,000 in back child support.

I love watching propaganda archives because they really did have something going with every poster and slogan. Some of it was, as you said, evil, but a lot of it was ingenious, too.
But I know Grandpa didn't like to talk about what went on during World War II, and you didn't ask. If he wanted to talk about something, you shut your trap and listened because it was rare for him to talk about it.
Needless to say: feel free to drop the convo whenever you want -- no hard feelings (seriously!). But I AM having a grand time with it.
Because I'm sure that your explanation would be colorful, as well as informative... XD
No, I’m having a blast with it too. I love talking goofy, fun video game or TV show stuff, but it’s kind of nice to have a somewhat adult conversation on here too. So, you'll basically have to lock the thread to put an end to it.
Glad of it, and hey... At least I am giving anyone reading this a good chuckle perhaps :3
Well, obviously I don't talk like that when work is involved, but this is kind of how I talk normally day to day. I never said I was ladylike...
Just can be if need be.
Mmmhmm..
Bro, however... let's say he's not quite as creative with his wording as I am, for the most part. He's more matter of fact... I'm more of a double entendre
IKR? And the thing is, as far as I know, he was never really a fan of Beavis and Butt-Head... though that was probably more a term used when he was a teenager, so it fits. And yes, he can be as bad as me if he wants to be.
He, and I both basically have pirate blood coursing through our veins and the mentality to go with it.
Oh, thank FUCK there's another option. I'm sure I'd still fumble it somewhere down the line (I lose receipts ALL THE TIME), but this is looking promising.
Nah, if you lose a receipt, they don't fine you for it or anything. It just can't be used as proof of spending for tax write-offs or similar purposes. It's no big deal.
I love watching propaganda archives because they really did have something going with every poster and slogan. Some of it was, as you said, evil, but a lot of it was ingenious, too.
Russia had particularly neat ones, though. Not that I'm into propaganda, but like you, I take an interest in the past. I like to know about it... And you know the old saying...
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" ~George Santayana~
I’m more of a blackmailer than a snitch back in highschool. It’s kinda like a leverage against bullies . Those bullies were not the hulking big guys who can manhandle you but instead they’re the angelic types. Looking at them you may even think they would become future preachers of the word of the dude up there when they get older. But inside they’re the most rotten person you’ll ever meet.
Here if you “overpaid” they’re like “we’ll deduct this to your next payment” and comes another fiscal year where you found yourself needing to pay higher tax and that previous “overpay” barely covers it.
Well at least that’s what some of my supervisors say. As for I belong to the lowest income bracket so most of the time I pay little to no tax at all.
Businesses have to pay state tax. I have no idea how much those are.
It varies depending on the amount earned yearly and the state here. Almost every state has a different tax they charge, but for things like a house, land, or car, they use ad valorem taxes or "according to value" If your car's Blue Book value is, say, $1,000 USD, you would, depending on the state you live in, pay between $25 and $80 USD a year on it. That's just an example, but you get the gist. The same works for land, but they go by the acre you own. For a home, I think it's called the millage rate $1 for every $1,000 of value.
I don't know the exact details offhand.. I just let the tax office handle that.
Grandpa grew up a farmer, so he knew how to do things like smoke meat, preserve fish, etc. He showed bro a lot of it, and in turn, my bro showed me. Grandpa showed me quite a bit too, though. :D I'm glad of it as well

Yeah, most of the time, the worst ones were the two-faced ones, like the girl I mentioned earlier in this thread. She was such a suck-up to the teachers, along with her little cronies. She was the vilest, most ill-tempered bitch ever to anyone else
Here if you “overpaid” they’re like “we’ll deduct this to your next payment” and comes another fiscal year where you found yourself needing to pay higher tax and that previous “overpay” barely covers it.
If you say overpay on your phone bill, garbage, etc.,
at the end of the physical pay year, they will send you a refund check.
Basically when you start service with them is the beginning of the physical pay year, and the end of that pay year is when you receive the refund, as I understand it.

I see... Someone should really tell those damn Hollywood writers to lay off a bit, because they really do make it look and sound like you'd spend a looooong while in prison over the dumbest shit ever.
I wanna EARN my stay in US Penitentiary Atlanta, damn it >:D

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" ~George Santayana~
No need to ask, he just kinda pause for at least a minute and he’ll continue where he left off.
One of the most gruesome story that left a mark on me is the time when they were joined by an ethnic native(kinda like the Indians/native Americans there) that dwells on that mountain they’re in.
Those natives often go to the lowlands to converse and do some commerce selling of their harvest and livestock. At one time news that the country was occupied by Japanese Imperial Army hadn’t reached the highlands. So when some of the natives went to the lowlands they were brutally assaulted by the invaders. Men were slaughtered like dogs and the women were SAed.
The one of the natives who went with my Grandpa was one of the survivors. A squad of Japanese army was sighted not too far from their location. As usual they laid some traps for them. When those Japs scrambled because they were being picked off one by one by those traps that’s when hunted them Japs down. My Grandpa said that he saw one soldier being skewed by the natives with their spear multiple times. While some are hacked by their “Tabak”(which is basically a multi purpose bladed tool resembling a machete) that the soldiers limbs were almost severed.
He always ends his story with some sort of lesson kinda like what you get with those old Saturday morning cartoons.
He always quote that “Dire times can turn the most peaceful of souls into a remorseless murderer”.
These turds that I’m talking about looks like the theist ones that often got roasted by Sir Sic. Those guys who feel that their higher that anyone else.
Those pricks both guys and girls (but mostly guys) acts like a saint in front of a teacher. But when no one is looking they know how to make your school experience miserable all because they were blessed by that guy from above or wherever.
Basically when you start service with them is the beginning of the physical pay year, and the end of that pay year is when you receive the refund, as I understand it.
Mostly some of the services here are on a plan of some sorts. You’ll be paying a specific amount per month like a subscription. That goes for internet and cable(yes cable is still a thing here) but for others like electricity and water you’ll have to pay base on your consumption.
Like I said they’ll just deduct the excess payment for the next year. No refunds sent but they have the courtesy of mailing you some printouts of your billing statement.
Ya know, I think if it had been a regular, well-known band like, say, Rob Zombie or the like... yeah, absolutely. Or even a more Niche band but somewhat well known. But I assume that, aside from you and me, Waffles, before this thread, we were probably the only two people here who even knew the band existed.
How true that is, I can't say 100%, but I’d say it was a small number, if any, other than us, regardless.
The cool thing about those taxes I pay annually and the ones the government takes per-paycheck as well is that if I do get fired/laied off ect... I can legally kick back and draw unemployment for probably about 26 weeks, unless they have changed the allowed time in my state, I would have to check.
Taxes may suck, but it's nice to have that to fall back on as well. And before stingy or yourself ask, I'm not going to disclose how much per week, it's personal and all, but let's just say I’d be fine for the duration of my unemployment.
Yeah, like I said, he's more matter of fact about stuff, and honestly, the more level-headed of us.
I know teenage me would have been locked up more than once if not for him. He literally picked me up like a little kid when I was 16, me kicking and punching at a guy I was about to throw down with and probably would have lost to... way bigger than me. But my mouth decided to take over for my brain. And he just picked me up like a person picking up a puppy and walked me out to his truck.
Me bitching and yelling about I don’t even remember what it was now. Bro have always been quite about stuff. I remember he just looked me in the eye, pointed his finger, and I knew to shut up. That was it.. no words back and forth, no arguing. I knew that absolutely was the end of it.
I dunno, man... maybe for a bit, but think of that 24/7. Hell, watch them for a full 24-hour period. I don't know if I could stand that, though. To be honest XD
Nah, most likely not. I made him an account here; he has it on his laptop. But he's more of the outdoors type, you know, not hunting and stuff. He just likes to do outdoor activities. He said he doesn’t like being cooped up inside, well, unless he's drinking a few with his buddies or with Amanda. Though she's kind of an outdoorsy girl too. Whereas I’m more tech-driven.
Bro, would rather Workout outside in his Garage, where as I workout indoors (Fight Camp punching bag, two hours a day) While listing to Heavy metal
but I don’t think the place could handle both of us here.
I see... Someone should really tell those damn Hollywood writers to lay off a bit, because they really do make it look and sound like you'd spend a looooong while in prison over the dumbest shit ever.
Well, a lot of what you see in that is major federal crimes tax-wise, and they have to have some kind of plot device. The three major "I have no idea what to write here" devices for Hollywood are 1. amnesia, 2. kidnapping, and 3. tax fraud, to get the characters where they need to be.
Again, I'm not for any kind of propaganda, but yeah, they had some really nice art as well on theirs. I actually had to Google some of it because I knew, I knew the name, but I couldn't remember what they had done propaganda-wise.
Again, the medication I take has Swiss-cheesed a lot of my memory

Well, on the upside, your grandfather survived. I hate it for the natives, but war is like that. It sucks, and the civilians are the ones who pay for it.
The one of the natives who went with my Grandpa was one of the survivors. A squad of Japanese army was sighted not too far from their location. As usual they laid some traps for them.
I'm not going to comment on this. I didn't want to bring up war-related topics. It's hard to comment on atrocities that happened so long ago without someone possibly reading this and getting offended by someone haveing an opinion on it and taking it the wrong way, and someone getting offended.
Remember the butt-hurt the other day, over something that meant absolutely nothing, Stingy?

Now, I'm not saying everyone religious is like this, and I know a few people who go to church on the reg. They are fairly chill about it, will invite you to go, and if you decline, they just shrug it off and say maybe next time.
I don't mind people doing that, it's fine if they want to invite you and do it politely there's nothing wrong with that. But I don't like anything, whether it be "facts" without proof to back them up or religion being shoved down my throat, you know.
Mostly some of the services here are on a plan of some sorts. You’ll be paying a specific amount per month like a subscription. That goes for internet and cable(yes cable is still a thing here) but for others like electricity and water you’ll have to pay base on your consumption.
It's the same here. Fibernet/Cable is still a thing. Hell, there might even be some dial-up left... I dunno. It might still exist in some form for example, for credit card machines or similar devices that require a slow connection. I think the food stamp card readers still use it.
As for power and water, yeah, you pay usage-based here, not a fixed rate.
My internet is at a set in-stone price, as it has been for so long. The contract I signed when I first got it guaranteed me a base price for service as long as I stuck with their service, regardless of new competitors popping up. And well, new ones have come and gone, but they are still here.
I have never had problems with them, unless a line got taken out, but I can't blame them for that.
This, this is why i stick with them. $60 a Month for this.
Like I said they’ll just deduct the excess payment for the next year. No refunds sent but they have the courtesy of mailing you some printouts of your billing statement.
No I was born in the "environmentally diverse" state of New Jersey,
so I have a large tolerance to that long discourse , and I am a close friend of good old Toxie
so its nothing new to me. Call Lloyd Kauffman
Now, I'm not saying everyone religious is like this, and I know a few people who go to church on the reg. They are fairly chill about it, will invite you to go, and if you decline, they just shrug it off and say maybe next time.
Nah not all religious ones are like that. The ones at my school were few rotten apples. Most of them here are really chill, I know because Iwas, are, am a Catholic or whatever. The truth is the last time I entered a church was during my Mom’s funeral eulogy which is less than 20 years ago.
Most of them were really the chill ones but some are really persistent on “luring you into their church “. Probably the S-Tier of “persistence” are the members of JW. I mean even if they see that you’re busy they are like “can we a moment of time?”
I remember one time when I was a twerp and we’re working on Grandpa’s veggie farm. He was approached by 2-3 JW members(I swear they move in groups like pack of wolves ). They had a bit of discussion even though dear Grandpa is like “I hate to rude but those cabbages aren’t gonna water themselves !” He also said that (probably because he’s really pissed and just controlling his temper) “asking for a miracle is worse than an able bodied man that is too lazy and counting on someone else to feed him”.
After that they silently walked away.
Grandpa said that if you survived those dire trying you’ll realize that there are more things other than religion that you can cling onto. He said that having faith is a wonderful thing but having the resolve to do things when the time calls to is even better.
My little sister plucked a copy of the pilot episode of “that” series out of curiosity. We watched it after dinner last night.
Oh my gaahhhh! That ruined my childhood to say the least. I tried to digest the lore and even the sci-fi , most of them doesn’t make sense. You couldn’t make logic out of it even sci-fi tech seemed fantastical but logical in sense. “That” however had none whatsoever.
The only thing entertaining is how my sister laughed out loud saying that she never thought she’ll see the most ugliest Pokémons in there.
Ya know, I think if it had been a regular, well-known band like, say, Rob Zombie or the like... yeah, absolutely. Or even a more Niche band but somewhat well known. But I assume that, aside from you and me, Waffles, before this thread, we were probably the only two people here who even knew the band existed.
How true that is, I can't say 100%, but I’d say it was a small number, if any, other than us, regardless.
Absolutely. Hell, I was surprised that you replied at all, because not even their YouTube is pulling the numbers you'd expect from a professional band with released material.
The cool thing about those taxes I pay annually and the ones the government takes per-paycheck as well is that if I do get fired/laied off ect... I can legally kick back and draw unemployment for probably about 26 weeks, unless they have changed the allowed time in my state, I would have to check.
Taxes may suck, but it's nice to have that to fall back on as well. And before stingy or yourself ask, I'm not going to disclose how much per week, it's personal and all, but let's just say I’d be fine for the duration of my unemployment.
Don't worry, there are few things I hate more than asking other people to disclose that info.
I have a friend (US-based) who had to fill for that a few years back and he seemed ok, although I was kind of personally annoyed by the fact that "proof of actively seeking for employment" was an ongoing requirement to continue receiving benefits -- like, GTFO. That's an absurd lack of faith on your citizens.
Yeah, like I said, he's more matter of fact about stuff, and honestly, the more level-headed of us.
I know teenage me would have been locked up more than once if not for him. He literally picked me up like a little kid when I was 16, me kicking and punching at a guy I was about to throw down with and probably would have lost to... way bigger than me. But my mouth decided to take over for my brain. And he just picked me up like a person picking up a puppy and walked me out to his truck.
Me bitching and yelling about I don’t even remember what it was now. Bro have always been quite about stuff. I remember he just looked me in the eye, pointed his finger, and I knew to shut up. That was it.. no words back and forth, no arguing. I knew that absolutely was the end of it.
I dunno, man... maybe for a bit, but think of that 24/7. Hell, watch them for a full 24-hour period. I don't know if I could stand that, though. To be honest XD
Living around actual Beavis and Butt-Head would be HELL, but if people just used those words during their daily conversations, then I think it'd be fine... Kinda like those who used to say things like RADICAL, and MONDO, and GNARLY XD
Nah, most likely not. I made him an account here; he has it on his laptop. But he's more of the outdoors type, you know, not hunting and stuff. He just likes to do outdoor activities. He said he doesn’t like being cooped up inside, well, unless he's drinking a few with his buddies or with Amanda. Though she's kind of an outdoorsy girl too. Whereas I’m more tech-driven.
Bro, would rather Workout outside in his Garage, where as I workout indoors (Fight Camp punching bag, two hours a day) While listing to Heavy metal
but I don’t think the place could handle both of us here.
Funny thing is... I write almost all of my posts while outdoors because I have to work a ton to keep this ship from sinking. Before the smartphone era, we wouldn't have met at all... I simply wouldn't be here enough.
Well, a lot of what you see in that is major federal crimes tax-wise, and they have to have some kind of plot device. The three major "I have no idea what to write here" devices for Hollywood are 1. amnesia, 2. kidnapping, and 3. tax fraud, to get the characters where they need to be.
I think Zombie Girls' album "Blood Brains and Rock N' Roll" is on par with the original Mortal Kombat movie soundtrack. It has the same nuances and hard-thumping tunes as the latter and should be held in as high regard.
There, now we're back on topic :D... However, I also think...
Absolutely. Hell, I was surprised that you replied at all, because not even their YouTube is pulling the numbers you'd expect from a professional band with released material.
I almost didn't. I thought maybe it was a game or a movie of the same name and just decided to look on a whim. Honestly, I saw who posted it and thought maybe it was a book of some sort, actually.
Shonk and/or horror, when I saw a band I hadn't thought about in 10+ years
Joking aside, how come? Not like we're bothering anything.
We are just having a chat. If nothing else, move this to where the cafe is.
I mean, this is no worse... actually, it's way less bad than the "Who Would You Date" thread and such, which has well over 500 pages of, well, double entendres, to say the least.

Yeah, it is pretty shitty. They have to prove it, but remember, a lot of people would just say they were, and sit back and mooch as long as they could if they didn't ask for proof.
He really is, and again, yeah, I would have been locked up ten times over if not for him. He's the kind of person who, if his truck motor were to blow up, throw a rod, etc., would just look at it for a minute, shut the hood, walk into the garage, say "fuck it, shit happens" have a beer, and worry about fixing it tomorrow. He doesn't let things get to him.
I was a very angry girl in my formative years for reasons I won't get into.
The short and dirty rundown of what happened is this.
Again, I was 16, my brother and I had either been to get groceries or were going I don't remember now. Anyway, we stopped to get gas. A scuzzy dude was making eyes at me, I noticed. I told him to back off. He made some, let's say, rude off-color remarks you really shouldn't say to a 16 year old girl.
My brother saw what was about to happen, grabbed me as I started to swing, and took me outside.
A few minutes later, when I had calmed down, bro told me to stay in his truck. He walked back inside. I don't know what he said, but he pointed at me, said something, and the guy put his hands up in the "hey hey, it was a misunderstanding, yo" pose. I know that look. Bro was about to go full WWF-era Undertaker on his ass.
I asked him what he told him. Bro just looked at me, smirked, and said "Told the guy his car tire was flat. That's it."

Understand that. I do like going outside, but again, I am more tech-driven, so I tend to be inside more. Hence, why I have the FightCamp punching bag. I do like the exercise as well. XD
No doubt.
Yeah, I have no idea where to find a lot of that stuff. I can Google it, but if you haven't had any luck, mine probably wouldn't be much better.
I almost didn't. I thought maybe it was a game or a movie of the same name and just decided to look on a whim. Honestly, I saw who posted it and thought maybe it was a book of some sort, actually.

Don't worry, I was just saying... We are WAY above water when it comes to this chat (and, as you said, we are also less horrid than some of the stuff posted in here). I just like keeping us all on our toes ;D

Those are very admirable qualities that I WISH I could call my own... I'm mostly the guy who will absolutely end up in prison at some point. C'est la vie.
(Won't quote the entire thing because it's a nightmare on mobile).
That's a very ugly situation to be in, and also one that's sadly all-too-common.
I'm not saying you were in the right, but you were definitely not in the wrong and I think a LOT of places would side with you if it came to actual fighting... Glad it didn't, though.

Tell me, Doctor, where are we going this time?
